As Wenna and Camilla watched the changes in Ancestor's Peak from Helm's Deep City at the foot of the mountain, the Magic Net Hub base atop Ancestor's Peak, jointly built by the sprites and Cecil technical personnel, had already entered its final stage of preparations.
The towering Magic Net Hub Tower stood upon the summit of the ancient mountain. Beneath the deep night sky, the brilliant starlight draped its surface like a thin veil of twilight. Mechanical devices at the tower's peak operated silently in the darkness, while massive artificial crystal arrays continuously made slight adjustments to their angles. The low humming sound caused by Magic Resonance drifted through the wind like a nocturne.
At the foot of the tower, countless research facilities were ready. High-intensity industrial lighting made the entire mountaintop as bright as day. In an open area near the tower, a sizable vertical shaft extended deep into the mountain. Elevators around the shaft were carrying the last batch of equipment underground, while numerous engineering vehicles and emergency response teams stood by around the clearing, prepared for what was about to happen tonight.
A Cecil technical supervisor in a white uniform walked to the edge of the shaft platform. He looked up at the neatly arranged devices beneath the lights, then took a deep breath in the cold night wind, slowly calming himself down. Those orderly devices were six tower-like installations surrounding the platform, with heavy alloy bases and intricate crystal arrays. Their brand-new shells showed that they had only recently been installed.
Ordinary technical personnel might have found these devices unfamiliar, but as the technical supervisor, he knew their purpose very well: they were the legendary Anti-Divinity Barriers.
Protective equipment based on the "Non-directional Thought Tide" technology of neural networks, they blocked divine Mental Corruption by releasing
