In the void, purple lightning spread in crisscrossing arcs, tearing open the chaotic curtain of night.
Deep within the thunder, flames suddenly erupted.
A brand-new structure gradually took shape within the fire.
Stone pillars rose, a dome extended, and streams of flame solidified into walls.
As the flames died down, a magnificent palace hung suspended in the void.
Then strands of purple light dangled from the palace's underside, crossing the boundaries of the void to reach Monster World.
The purple tethers gradually multiplied, linking the palace suspended alone in the void to Monster World.
In the deepest part of the palace, purple flames gathered into a sea.
An altar at its center was rising from the surging sea of fire.
This altar was both the palace's energy heart and a super teleportation formation, forged entirely from rule-derived energy.
Formation patterns flickered incessantly across its surface, and the teleportation coordinates changed with every passing instant.
Even the palace's master could not determine where activating the formation at this moment would send him.
This anti-tracking measure even included himself in its calculations.
The settings of this Teleportation Sacrificial Altar stemmed from a thought that had surfaced deep in a certain king of playing it safe's mind while he deduced potential dangers: If even I don't know the destination, could that prevent powerful races from reading my thoughts and cut off any pursuit?
After all, if even he did not know the answer, his pursuers would find only a blank when they read his mind.
To complement this positioning logic, he had even added a masking setting that would also block his own sense of location once teleportation ended.
Even if his opponents used rule logic to read his thoughts a second time across space, they would be unable to obtain his coordinates.
