A pillar of light shot straight into the sky.
Using the kunai embedded in the ground as an anchor, it spread outward to both sides.
It eventually formed a rectangular plane ten meters tall and thirty meters wide, its surface glowing with a faint blue light.
This scene stunned not only all the Auxiliary Corps soldiers.
It also left Dankan, Sylph, and Loli Mercury—the three native Divine Harmony beings—dumbfounded.
The first question that arose in their hearts was:
What was this?
Then they thought of a possibility that shocked them.
This was a "gate" too?!
Sylph and Dankan in particular immediately thought of the term "Star Gate."
But that was not right.
The "Star Gates" they had seen in those souls' memories did not look like this.
And didn't Star Gates only open once a year?
Judging by how the World Government sent people in to investigate every time a Star Gate opened,
it was clearly random, just like the gates they opened!
It seemed they had guessed wrong.
But Sylph could neither understand nor accept it.
Even they, born gods, could not open gates to fixed locations. How could a mortal nation do it?
Her pretty face had turned deathly pale, tinged with blue, her eyes filled with fear and despair.
Even Dankan felt awful.
He had just thought that since the "gate" had closed, he would not be forced to leave this world.
After all, this world held his nation, his people, and his believers.
Soon, the plane glowing with a soft blue light stabilized.
The next second,
the blue light within suddenly vanished, leaving only flowing light around the edges.
It revealed the scenery and people of the Nuclear World on the other side to Garp, Newgate, Shiki, Kuzan, Bullet, Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, and Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo
