After Amon entered the rift, Mo Wang commanded the battle puppets that carried the Aether Absorption Machine to follow him. The machine never stopped humming during the travel. It continued absorbing the surrounding aether.
Mo Wang headed west, where the lower world's portal was located. He saw the lower world's forces were already ready by the time he arrived. Several hastily built fortifications surrounded the region. These fortifications were engraved with various defensive words of power.
The Hyanids had also arrived, bringing with them the Cryanid swarm. The Cryanids patrolled the outer rim of the fortifications, serving as expendable sentries.
