The army of Emerald Castle erupted the instant the order was given.
Since arriving in this world, they'd been trapped in the mountain ranges, day after day mining energy ore, expanding the armory, building up their forces.
But fighting—the one thing they were made for, the one thing they lived for—never came.
Now, at last, the long-suppressed hunger for war ignited.
With Ethan at the front, the massive army surged forward, plunging into the deepest reaches of the Nether Sea.
Despite its name, the Nether Sea wasn't just water. Beyond its vast tides, scattered yet stable landmasses floated like shattered continents. Countless alien species lived on them, their bodies pulsing with something called Nethora Power. Strange, ancient runes were etched into their skin—visible signs of this world's unique power.
Yet none of that was what made Ethan stop.
What froze him mid-stride was—
The Core Region of the Nether Sea.
