From the distant dome gazing down, the earth was torn apart, a bottomless rift meandering into shape, resembling the slow-opening eye of hell.
On both sides of the abyss, two ancient colossal beasts perched between heaven and earth in a suffocating posture, silently confronting each other, their murderous intent crystallized into substance.

On the other side lies the Imperial Family's vast and awe-inspiring Camp Mansion, sprawling like an ant nest, yet tightly ordered.
The world is silent and still, even the wind seems to have frozen.
However, the first roar that shattered this silence did not come from this tiny land, but rolled in thunderous waves from the distant, unreachable horizon.
