Emergency Report

The morning sun cast long shadows across the Blood Flame Sect's main hall when urgent footsteps echoed through the corridors. Jin Ho was reviewing cultivation reports when a Blood Guard burst through the doors, his face pale with terror.

"Boss! Emergency situation!"

Jin Ho looked up from his papers, immediately sensing the gravity in the guard's voice. "What happened?"

"It's... it's happening in three places at once," the guard gasped, struggling to catch his breath. "The Blood Demon Realm, Ice Soul Realm, and Thunder Realm—all experiencing the same phenomenon!"

Seol Hwa-rin, who had been silently observing from the corner, straightened with alarm. "The same phenomenon?"

The Blood Guard nodded frantically. "Reports are coming in from all our dimensional contacts. In the Blood Demon Realm, blood demons are collapsing en masse, their eyes turning completely hollow and void-like. In the Ice Soul Realm, the eternal ice is turning black, and time itself is randomly stopping in certain areas. And in the Thunder Realm..."

"What about the Thunder Realm?" Jin Ho demanded.

"The lightning is turning black too, but worse—it's not just changing color. It's erasing reality itself wherever it strikes."

Jin Ho felt a chill run down his spine. Inside his consciousness, both demon lords stirred with unprecedented urgency.

『This is bad... very bad』 Blood Heaven Great Emperor's voice carried a tension Jin Ho had never heard before.

『The corruption pattern... it's targeting our home dimensions specifically!』 Thunder Lightning King's usual battle excitement was replaced by genuine concern.

"What do you mean, 'our home dimensions'?" Jin Ho asked internally.

『The Blood Demon Realm is my former kingdom. The Thunder Realm is where Thunder Lightning King once ruled. These aren't random attacks—someone knows exactly what they're doing』

Seol Hwa-rin stepped forward, her usual cold composure cracking. "The Ice Soul Realm... that's where my power originated. This can't be a coincidence."

The Blood Guard continued his report. "The common symptom across all three realms is the same—beings are turning into empty shells. They're not dying, but they're becoming... nothing. Like hollow puppets."

"Void-ification," Seol Hwa-rin whispered, her face growing pale. "This is dimensional corruption on a massive scale."

Jin Ho's mind raced. Three separate dimensions, all connected to the powers within him and Seol Hwa-rin, all suffering the same mysterious corruption. This wasn't random—this was targeted.

"How many are affected?" he asked.

"From what we can tell, about half the population in each realm. And it's spreading fast."

Thunder Lightning King's voice echoed with growing anger: 『Someone is using our own dimensional connections against us! But how? Who could coordinate such a massive attack?』

Blood Heaven Great Emperor's response was grim: 『Only someone who knows the true nature of our powers... and our origins』
