On an uninhabited island in the Rorsted Archipelago.
An arm that clearly did not belong to a human was squeezing out through the door on the altar.
Vird Abraham watched the scene with delight, but then his vision turned strange. His eyes began rolling in different directions.
The next second, he saw himself standing before the altar. The features of his own face were falling off one by one.
At last, it dawned on him: he was already dead, killed by the ritual's curse.
By then, the arm had finally squeezed through the Flesh Door and begun trying to pull the rest of its body out.
In the darkness illuminated beyond the door, thick bolts of lightning formed a storm and swept toward them, only to be swallowed by a sudden surge of blood-red tide.
At last, a gigantic figure made entirely of "orbs of light" passed through the Flesh Door.
Odys, who was strolling around Blue Mountain Island, felt a stir in his Spirituality and looked toward the shops along the street. Doors and windows that had been shut tight suddenly flew open under an invisible force.
As people cried out in shock, every door opened. Every enclosed space lay exposed, and every seal came undone.
Mr. Door's return had also completed his advancement ritual, triggering the advancement itself.
There was no need to worry about the seal on the Abyss Pathway's Uniqueness, though. Odys had used the power of the Knowledge Moor, so the seal would weaken but not vanish.
Besides, Angels were stationed there on rotation. Nothing would go wrong.
Odys vanished and instantly reappeared in midair. Far out over the sea, he saw black fissures suddenly appear.
The fissures made the clouds and space itself look like cracked glass, ready to shatter at any moment.
