# Ancient Temple
They stumbled upon an ancient temple hidden within the ocean's depths. "Here lies the Earth Realm's gateway," Lyra revealed.
# Ryker, the Earth Guardian
Inside, they met Ryker, the Earth Realm Guardian. "I've awaited Kaito, the chosen balance-bringer," he said, wielding elemental earth magic.
# Ryker's Wisdom
Ryker shared ancient lore: "Elyria's harmony relies on unity among the three realms. Your father's research disrupted this balance."
# Kaito's Resolve
Kaito's determination intensified. "I'll restore balance and honor my father's legacy."

Arin and the syndicate ambushed the trio. Kaito unleashed Chrono Slash, while Lyra and Ryker fought alongside him.
# Earth Realm Gateway
As the battle raged, the Earth Realm Gateway activated. "We must proceed," Ryker urged.
