The next second, an additional dark figure appeared atop the ancient altar.
The members of the Door Organization, who were operating the altar, were startled, thinking an enemy had launched an attack and were about to unleash all their strength. However, they quickly realized that the figure was the leader of their organization, the eternal Xiadu. Every member, whether it was the seventh King or the other deputy leaders, all knelt down with a devotion and fanaticism bordering on religious fervor.
"Why is there one missing?"
Standing alone atop the scarlet altar, Xiadu spoke calmly.
Around the altar, only three Origin Stone Tablets were floating. Their combined power with the altar encapsulated Heaven's Gate, preventing it from wandering as usual.
For one must understand that Heaven's Gate can appear in any corner of the world in a flash. It has no trace, no form, drifting indefinitely like the wind. Without anchoring it, one wouldn't even know where to begin to open it.
