However, despite her uncertainties, she decided to give it a try and learn how to make it work.
It can't be that difficult, right? Isadora thought.
Leona nodded again, sighing. "Alright, if you say so, Princess," she responded.
She shifted her gaze towards Flintor, whose shoulders had slumped defeatedly, before looking at Leif and the other gods' chosen, who also looked defeated and ashamed.
"I need to take a break outside. Don't worry, I don't plan on creating any problems this time," Leif said, grabbing his Gearweaver Sword as he stood up and exited the room.
"I'll follow him so he doesn't get into trouble," Leona said, standing up from her seat and following after Leif.
Isadora shook her head. "I think it's best we..." Isadora wanted to say, but as she completed her words, a blinding light flashed before her eyes.

Captain Seig's and Lieutenant Evande's Building
Seig sat in a plush chair, his body relaxing under Evande's skilled hands as she massaged his shoulders.
"I'm surprised you're asking for a massage this early morning. Is there something you need to inform me about?" Evande's inquiring gaze pierced down at Seig, scrutinizing him as if searching for an answer. Her fingers never stopped their soothing motion, working precisely on his shoulders and neck.
"You haven't forgotten that I always do this back at home on my day off before enjoying the rest of the day, right?" Seig responded with a raised brow, meeting Evande's questioning gaze as she looked down at him.
Evande applied a little pressure with her fingers, causing Seig's body to tense and a ripple of pain to course through him. "Captain, tell me the truth. I know you're hiding something, especially since it's obvious that you're not hiding it," she said, snorting as she shifted her attention to the Gearweaver sword in Seig's grasp, its tip resting beside him on the floor.
She sensed that he might still be tense due to the Vylkr veil phenomenon, but she wanted to make sure there wasn't something else he wasn't disclosing.
Seig closed his eyes briefly, feeling the pain increasing with each passing second. He opened them and met Evande's gaze. "There's something off in the air. My instincts have been on edge since the emergence of the Vylkr vine phenomenon, but it's only worsened since midnight. I don't know why or if it's related to the Vylkr Veil Phenomenon, but I just feel something isn't right," he responded, his body still tense as he struggled to pinpoint the cause of this unsettling occurrence.
As Seig spoke, Evande's expression grew serious. She was about to rest when suddenly, a blinding light flashed before them, interrupting their conversation.
….......
When the immense attack struck the Aegis of the Arctic Divine Barrier, a blinding flash of brilliant light erupted, prompting the Aegis of the Arctic Deity to seize the opportunity and teleport everyone within the Third and Second Border City into the First Border City.
Simultaneously, as the Divine Barrier effortlessly withstood the ashen-skinned man's immense attack, the space around it fractured into multiple cracks, shattering and disintegrating into deep chasms.
The air grew still and heavy, filled with an undeniable pressure emanating from the Law of Destruction, permeating the surroundings.
The trio gazed at the barrier, their expressions shifting to shock and disbelief. They couldn't fathom how the being before them had managed to completely block such a powerful attack from such close range using onlyhisbarrier without budging an inch.
Their attention returned to Aegis of the Arctic Deity, and they scrutinized him once more, searching for any details they might have overlooked.
"Who are you?"asked the ashen man, his eyes locked on Aegis of the Arctic Deity, his anger carefully restrained.
"I've already introduced myself, so I should be the one to ask you that question. However, since you're not willing to introduce yourself, it's fine,"Aegis of the Arctic Deity responded, shaking his head. "I have no interest in dealing with rude trespassers, so I'll take my leave now. Nevertheless, before I leave, I'd like to inform you that no matter how strong your attacks are or how many you launch simultaneously, the result will remain fruitless."
"I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. While I'm willing to restrain myself for the safety of my territory if you threaten it, I'll have no choice but to retaliate and show you the power of Aegis of the Arctic Deity, Divine apostle of god Aerendir," he added before vanishing from their sight the moment his words ended.
A profound silence settled within the solemn and tense added before vanishing from their sight the moment his words ended.

First Border City
When Orion appeared within the First Border City, he quickly looked around for his wives and children to check if they were alright. Fortunately, they had all arrived together.
"What happened?"Greta asked, her eyes scanning her environment while safely securing the baby in her arms.
"I think we were all moved simultaneously to the First Border City,"Reena remarked, looking around her surroundings.
Beside them, Fifi nodded in agreement. "She's right. We are all currently at the First Border City,"she added.
Before their conversation could continue, Orion and his wives observed more and more individuals appearing around the streets of the Third Border City where they had arrived. From the Primsmerions to the villagers and even the Four-eared elves, they all emerged individually.
"What happened? How did we get here?"said a man as he quickly gathered his family together, his eyes filled with fright and caution as he looked around.
"Hey! I'm about to take my morning shower. What kind of sick joke is this?"exclaimed a Primsmerion, darting into a corner to avoid the curious gazes around him.
"Can someone explain what's going on? Is this some kind of training?"demanded a woman who appeared to be a warrior, her gaze scrutinizing and disturbed as she surveyed her surroundings.
Several voices began to erupt into the air, and soon, their surroundings became crowded with various voices mixed with surprise, shock and disbelief.
