Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2332

At the same time, when Shannon and the group discovered the true form of the Alternate Divine Power, the golden silhouette flickered ever so slightly beneath the vortex outside the domain.

The reaction lasted only for a fleeting moment before the Alternate Divine Power unhesitatingly diverted all its power into the vortex.

Back in the original world, the vortex that Benjamin had suppressed with his golden light suddenly burst open with the same glow. It expanded rapidly, unfolding in a surge until it encompassed the entire expanse of Crisea.

Benjamin's consciousness, scattered across the nine realms, subtly settled.

Although he was the Dragon Vein, he was still powerless on his own when facing the Alternate Divine Power, which had acquired the Might of the original Divine Power.

To stop the spread of the vortex, the best option was to gather mystic masters from all nations, consolidating the world's fortune as a way to terminate the expansion.

However, with the sudden arrival of the Alternate Divine Power, foreign mystics were unlikely to respond or cooperate enthusiastically.

Although Hector immediately mobilized members of the Mystic Regulatory Commission upon detecting the divine anomaly at first instance, rushing to establish contact with the leading mystic masters of various nations in hopes of forging a cooperative resistance, only a few nations traditionally friendly with Crisea's mystic arts community were willing to respond.

It was just as Benjamin had expected—the majority had refused outright.

The main reason was that the vortex had first appeared within Crisean territory. Though mystic masters around the world could see it heralded a great calamity, they believed it to be Crisea's calamity alone.

For Crisea to frame its own disaster as a global catastrophe, just to trick others into helping… Well, not a chance.

As a result, most of the responses carried a tone of schadenfreude and veiled mockery.

One said, "If Crisea truly seeks the support of the international mystic arts community, it should issue a clear and honest request. But trying to deceive us? That's just insulting."

The other remarked, "Crisea has hoarded the world's fortune and spiritual energy for years thanks to its Dragon Vein. What's happening now is simply the backlash."

Some even went further, laying out their demands outright.

"We can offer our assistance, but in return, Crisea must hand over the Dragon Vein afterward. And beyond that, it must open access to several of its rare and exclusive spells for use by mystic masters worldwide…"

Benjamin could clearly sense the power converging from all directions, but even combined with his own, it was still a mere drop in the ocean compared to the Might of the Alternate Divine Power.

As more of that Might poured in, the vortex, barely suppressed until now, suddenly burst open, doubling in size as it shattered the golden light and scattered the joint forces outward.

The abrupt surge struck back fiercely, and many suffered heavy backlash from the intensified force.

Watching the vortex expand at an uncontrollable pace, Benjamin ultimately understood that resistance was futile.

The vortex heralding the descent of the Alternate Divine Power could no longer be stopped. He ceased all efforts at once.

As everyone watched the golden light that had surged into the vortex vanish completely, they were left in confusion, wondering what had happened to the Dragon Vein.

The very next moment, a voice echoed in the minds of Luke and all the leaders present, transmitted deep into their consciousness.

"The alternate world is about to descend. To prevent the Alternate Divine Power from fusing its world with ours, I will now activate the National Barrier. Inform every nation."
