Chapter 1876 Lock Down
With 16 hours remaining until the conclusion of the expeditions, an unforeseen event occurred that sent shockwaves through the Celestials ruins. The colossal planet-like structure underwent a dramatic transformation, leaving all humans and elves observing from space in a state of disbelief. The massive ruin was suddenly placed on lockdown, with all nine gates simultaneously closing. Over 50,000 humans and elven magus found themselves trapped inside the structure, unable to leave or communicate with the outside world. Panic and confusion swept through the Magus Alliance Space Station, where several elders from human factions anxiously awaited updates on the young and talented magus participating in the expedition. The situation had become increasingly alarming, especially in light of the recent news about a massive battle erupting on the seventh layer.
The Grand Magus Council, responsible for overseeing the event, was equally troubled. Furry Hammar, had reached a point of anxiety where he felt compelled to summon the supreme magus, Imperio. He demanded explanations from the elves, particularly focusing on the Eldamar clan of the high elves, as they were suspected of having knowledge about the unfolding events.
The situation was becoming increasingly tense, leaving both humans and elves on edge as they sought answers to the unfolding crisis.

The unexpected lockdown didn't confine itself solely to the seventh layer; rather, it extended its reach to encompass all six layers of the crossover. Enforcers, under the capable leadership of Zach Talon, swiftly took control of the situation. Their primary objectives were to ascertain the cause of this unprecedented event and to bolster the security measures in place.
"Summon all the human magus," Zach ordered, urgency evident in his voice. "Let's gather everyone at this base!" Thê ïñčëptïøn øf thïš çøntënt çån bë tråçëd tø n0v€1b¡n★
While the Magus Alliance had established base camps on the second and fourth layers, the other layers lacked such facilities. The Earth Magus team found themselves trapped within one of the third-layer vaults, desperately attempting to devise an exit strategy. Unfortunately, their communication devices had ceased to function, leaving them in the dark about the situation.
"Let's stay calm," Klea said, her voice steady as she attempted to reassure the group. "First, let's clear this place of the drones, and then we can start looking for a way out."
The Golden Prince of the Nephilim, Liam, emphasized, "There are already at least 50 Oculus Dark magus inside. You can collaborate and support each other in there."
The situation had grown increasingly dire, and cooperation was now crucial.
As preparations were underway, the structure once again quaked, intensifying their mounting anxiety. Even more magus arrived, and the numbers of elves now greatly outnumbered the humans. With nearly twice as many elves on the seventh layer, the odds could quickly tilting against them.
Desperation filled the air as the situation grew increasingly dire. "You need to leave now!" shouted Liam, giving his order.
As the signal was given, a group of Imperium magus took the forefront, unleashing a relentless and thunderous barrage of heavy artillery fire. The explosions that followed created chaos among the elven defenders who guarded the entrance to the structure. The Cross and Arcanum magus quickly followed suit, combining their considerable magical talents to cast an array of their most potent offensive spells. The result was a dazzling display of magical might, aimed at diverting the elves' attention and sowing confusion among their ranks.
In the midst of this coordinated assault, another wave of celestial constructs surged forward, charging toward the hole with unwavering determination. These mechanical beings were an imposing force, threatening to overwhelm the already strained elven defenses.
Amid the chaotic clash of magic and the deafening roar of weaponry, Emery seized a pivotal moment. He harnessed his portal-creating abilities to create an ethereal gateway, providing their group with an escape route that slipped through the very cracks in the enemy lines. Through this portal, they advanced toward the heart of the unfolding mystery, leaving the ongoing battle behind them.
