This thing resembling a three-dimensional map showed all the worlds currently connected to the Mysterious Shop. Panel-kun could make something similar, but that was merely superficial, completely different from Jiu Ming's.
After all, this had been created by fusing the traits of the Mysterious Shop and the Twisted Aberration. What Panel-kun produced was only an outward appearance, useful for observing the situation at most, whereas the one before Jiu Ming could let him do some rather special things.

Some of the points of light on this three-dimensional map were mixed with traces of dark red; those were worlds invaded by the Twisted Aberration.
Now, if Jiu Ming wanted to go to those worlds, he no longer needed any markers. The Twisted Aberration itself was the best marker!
Likewise, he could directly seize control of the Twisted Aberration within those worlds, just as Ninth Sister did. Of course, it was not without limits. Much like what he could do within the Mysterious Shop, he could influence certain things, but not the whole.
