While Caelus and Sylvia entered the Abyss, the Heavenly Lord opened his eyes within a white void.
"It's finally time to bring Death and Life back."
He raised one hand and reached toward the Tier 2 World. A line appeared before him, but it vanished before the passage could open.
The Heavenly Lord frowned and tried again with more force, tearing space beneath his hand with a sharp CRACK! Yet the opening led nowhere because something had cut the connection to his destination completely.
He released his full power until the white void shook around him. However, the passage collapsed again before he could establish a connection with the lower realm.
"What power is this? How can I be blocked from entering the Tier 2 World?"
He examined the severed link while the disturbance around him settled. Even now, his authority could not reach past it.
"I control part of the authority. How can someone else's authority overrule mine?"
