"Instead, I want to apologize to you all. It was my job as the City Lady to prepare for such an outcome."

Morgan didn't expect that the first thing Cassarae would want to do was this, but when he looked at her now… he felt his own Favorability increasing despite himself. A heavy weight that had been on his chest was slowly put down.

"Now that we've gotten the unfortunate stuff out of the way, I think I should also shed some light on some things. While we've suffered a blow, we've also gained a lot.

"There are three troll corpses, and we've also managed to gather several powerful treasures from the battlefield as well…"

Cassarae began to explain their gains, livening up the mood. Sylas noticed that she didn't mention using the humans for their Genes and only did so with the trolls, but he felt that this was only to be expected.

Sylas didn't expect that everyone would be as nonchalant about using the Genes of their fellow humans for improvement.

"City Lady, if I may say something," just when Cassarae was about to get into the details of the end of the Trial, Gregory spoke up.

"Yes?"

"I do know a little bit about the end of the Trial."

Cassarae was pleasantly surprised. "Please."

It wasn't just Cassarae either; everyone was curious.

Gregory cleared his throat. "This is information I've been made aware of so that I might properly guide you in making decisions. From my understanding, most administrative personnel like myself will be informed of this basic knowledge. Please use it to inform your decisions.

"The Summoning is a process of integration between your world and wider existence. During this event, your world will be split into two, not in a literal sense, but in a more metaphysical sense. The process of the summoning is the real plane of existence that is your planet, fusing together with this Aether-dense plane.

"Once the Trial concludes, this process will begin, but only slowly. As such, in the beginning, there will be no Aether on your planet, meaning that while you might keep your physical prowess, your more fantastical abilities will be sealed off from you.

"However, this explanation shouldn't steer you wrong. It isn't that your planet needs this Aether Plane and not the other way around. The Aether Plane needs an anchor in reality. You can imagine it like a fabric of space and time; it has no substance if it's not in relation to other things.

"The so-called nine attempts are the limit of the Aether Plane. If it fails nine times, it will either collapse or be forced to pick a different world to integrate with. After this ninth failure, Earth will be pulled along and be tethered to this different world as well, and ultimately you'll lose all rights to rule yourselves… if you survive, that is.

"These destabilizing forces are often events of the system… Dungeons, Quicktime Events, Quests, even powerful extinct creatures… the more of these remain unresolved, the stronger your stabilizing force needs to be to counter them. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
