Heading Toward the First Mission's Location, Scuba Suit

Stark stepped into the crisp morning air outside his room, his mind already set on the daunting task ahead. 

He had left a brief message for the girls, Lana, Sora, and Lilith, knowing they'd understand when they woke. 

The time for hesitation had passed. Only five apostles remained, and Stark had no intention of wasting another second.

"Multi-Task Watch," he said calmly, "send me to the [Domination Association] headquarters."

In a flash of crimson light, the world around him blurred and shifted. 

When the light faded, Stark found himself standing in the imposing [Commander's Meeting Room] of the [Domination Association]. 

The room was vast and circular, with a high domed ceiling inscribed with glowing runes. 

At the center stood a grand table made of black stone, around which the commanders were seated.

"We need to check out those things, there seems to be at least four ongoing trials," Ed informed.
