Chương 1998: 1998. Island

Noah and King Elbas had to reach the area mentioned by Sepunia to understand what she had meant with her vague description.

A dead zone unfolded in the trio's eyes after following Sepunia across the storms for many years. Sparse cracks that led to the void tainted the area, and various patches of ground floated among the whiteness without falling prey to the pulling force that those fissures naturally generated.

The patches of ground had different sizes, shapes, and environments. Noah saw a solitary upside-down mountain floating next to a small tree that barely had enough terrain to spread its roots and a relatively large plain filled with lakes. Similar odd scenes that featured various settings occupied the other parts of the dead zones and actively avoided the storms in the distance.
