About seven or eight years ago, many people within the circle had already anticipated these events, urging those on the island to transfer everything as quickly as possible, even if not returning it...
But that group wouldn't listen, insisting that everything was normal and nothing had happened.
They also stated that, as a historical great power, they had the ability to solve their own internal problems.
Afterward, the anomalies from that island spread to their neighbors in Europa Continent and even across the ocean to the Grand East Coast.
They still claimed there were some issues but nothing major.
Eventually, when they detected regional weakening of the "world barrier", multiple countries voted and decisively sent a joint team to investigate, only to find that the problems were far worse than they had said.
The current situation over there is like an Okamoto 0.01 stretched to its limit, a few more shakes and it might explode.
