When Adam forcefully entered the portal in front of thousands of onlookers, chaos erupted almost immediately.
His actions did more than showcase his strength.
They sparked fear.
The Soaring River Secret Plane was meant to be sealed from outside interference. No one from outside — and no one above the Mana Foundation Rank — could enter it once the portal closed.
Yet Adam had done exactly that.
To the crowd gathered, the implication was terrifying.
A possible Mana Core Magus was now inside the secret plane, where hundreds of young talents were undergoing trials.
These children were the future of the Empire. If someone of Adam's level chose to wreak havoc within, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Within moments of the portal collapsing, communication artifacts lit up across the square.
Urgent messages were dispatched to the great academies, noble Magus houses, the Four Great Pillars, and even the Acadian Royal Family.
A potential threat had breached the secret plane.
