New power was gestating within his soul, another step on the path to godhood.

Outlander, guide a drop of divinity to infuse the Spirit Rune you prepared for "Words of Sublimation."

The voice by his ear whispered gently, while a drip~ sounded as though a drop of water had fallen into his heart.

The golden liquid guided by his soul infused the second Spirit Rune of the Mid-Ring Words of Sublimation. It was also the ending this world should have met, witnessed by the Outlander's eyes:

"Whisper—Termination."

This was not the first time Shade had used divinity to infuse his Spirit Runes, but this time was completely different from before.

But when divinity completely dyed "Whisper—Termination" a dazzling gold, and the six-ring Destiny Ring seemingly melting into the golden radiance revealed its seven-ring form amid the loudest chime, an abnormality appeared on the island, which had been raining and shrouded in thin Red Mist.

Beneath the tree, Luvia, who had just helped Priest Augustus deal with Soul Story Book, abruptly looked up and reached out, touching something in the wind:

"Yellow sand?"

At the moment of Shade's advancement, yellow sand swept across Green Island like a raging storm. The Gale rolled up the sand, carrying a profoundly unsettling feeling that directly affected everyone on the island, including "Edwardz" within that mass of red light.

No one knew what this meant until someone was the first to see, amid the endless yellow sand, the scenery of a ruined city emerging behind the God Summoner, concealed beneath the sand:

"This is... the God Summoner's new Mystic Lock?
