The Divine Lords are not descending in person, so what form are they appearing in on earth?
Is it really a phantom? But if it's just a phantom, how can they have the confidence to vie for control over Ash?
Now Sonia knows the answer: The Divine Lords are phantoms, yet not phantoms, hidden within the Secret Realm. They only need to assist the Angels in initiating the Eternal Wonder to tip the scales of victory in their favor.
No wonder the Lord of Infinite Abyss chose to withdraw; without Vester, even if he occupied the Ancient Battlefield, he could not interfere in the battle. Ultimately, only the Mage can hold the power, as the Divine Lords descending in earth as earthly forms are not the masters of the World Secret Domain, but rather residents within it.
