"Ten-second countdown. Prepare to land."
"Ten, nine, eight... two, one, landing!"
The cloud ship spewed azure flames through the air, then slowly descended. Cloud Tiger and Black Tortoise looked at the mountains below, donned their exoskeleton armor, and floated out of the ship first.
"This area is exceptionally rich in Transcendent Source Matter."
"And... it's highly ordered. Compared to the source matter spilling out across the Ice Sea, this source matter is of very high quality."
"I never thought we'd find such a treasure land beyond the Five Continents."
Transcendent Source Matter generally drifted through the void in a disorderly state. Even if a large amount gathered in a particular region, it would only bring chaos. If its density became too high, it would form so-called "black spots," which would expand the disorderly phenomenon and eventually develop into uncontrollable "black holes"!
Within the Five Continents, only places where a Throne of God had resided for a long time could suppress such disorder.
Source Tower, City of Light, Nagano...
Because places like these were suppressed by Fire Seed Power, they could pacify enormous quantities of Transcendent Source Matter.
The largest source matter repository in the world was Clear Tomb Cemetery in Nagano.
The density of "source matter" in this snowy mountain range gave Cloud Tiger the illusion that he had returned to Source Tower.

If it had been manipulated by someone...
then throughout these vast snowy
