Thanks to the virtual realms, the Divine Union's speed of transmitting messages could be considered 1,000 times quicker than the Da Alliance's. By using the virtual realms, reality and virtual reality had already been integrated in some aspects.
Although this integration hadn't broken through the barrier between reality and virtual reality, it could allow people within the virtual realm to enjoy some sensations that were almost real.
One of them was the Divine Union's campaign to punish the Human Tribe.
At the Divine Union's command, forces of more than 100 million were sent to administer justice. However, in the virtual realm, close to 100 billion people had gone along with the Divine Union's forces.
Although these people were residing in the virtual world, through the technology that made virtual reality seem real, they were actually accompanying the Divine Union's forces as they suppressed the Milky Way.
