Twelve hours later, a branch of the Aether Supreme Titans welcomed Sandra along with 800 million Asuras. These were the Nara Battalions 1-8, each battalion holding 100 million troops divided by rank.
Battalions 1 and 2 were made up entirely of Stellar Sovereigns, while Battalions 3 through 7 were packed with Void Emperors, spanning from Early to Peak.

The welcoming ceremony took place on the shattered surface of Titan Prime—a world-sized fortress of living metal and star-forged stone, its sky a perpetual storm of violet lightning and auroral fire.
Millions of Aether Supreme Titans gathered—colossal beings of crystals with thundercloud veins, each standing hundreds of meters tall—stood in perfect formation across the cracked plain.
