As this scene unfolded, everyone across the border sea were in shock. True immortals and quasi-royal celestials alike wore expressions of horror as their pupils contracted sharply.
Gyddur's arrival spelled disaster for them! Though his current form as a clone might only have the strength of a quasi-royal celestial, the capabilities inherent from a royal celestial's form could unleash the most formidable divine techniques. The presence of such a formidable person threatened the lives of all those present within the real sea.
In stark contrast to the fearful expressions of those in Celestial Realm, jubilation swept through the extraterrestrial contingent within the Devil Realm.
"Hahaha, let us welcome our royal celestial's arrival!" they exclaimed.
"It is our pleasure to be in his presence!"
The few highly-ranked prodigies swelled with pride and exhilaration. The unexpected arrival of Gyddur had bolstered their confidence, assuring them of victory in the impending battle at the border sea.
The recent loss of a respected quasi-royal celestial at Severin's hands had been a humiliating blow for the extraterrestrials. Though they thirsted for Severin's blood, his formidable strength instilled fear even in some of the higher-ranked prodigies.
Thankfully for them, Gyddur's clone intervened at a critical juncture.
Amin could only watch on regretfully, while Wilbur—a disciple of Creatia—dug his fingers in his palms in anger.
As Creatia's disciple, Wilbur was more than capable of grasping that Gyddur's form was allowed to enter the membrane from beyond the Celestial Realm because of an agreement with the royal celestials. Wilbur admired Severin to some extent, believing that the realm convergence would allow Severin to become yet another one of the royal celestials.
However, the Celestial Realm's failure to protect such talent and instead allow an extraterrestrial royal celestial to breach the membrane left him disillusioned and unsettled.
Meanwhile, Hartberg pieced together clues from Gyddur's words and ominous aura. With no explanation forthcoming from Lawrence and his cohorts, Hartberg realized the unsettling truth—they had tacitly consented to such a turn of events.
