With Country C's safe zone successfully fortified, the race to collect high-level Spirit Stones became more urgent for the remaining four countries in the Great Alliance.
The world was falling deeper into chaos as time was passing. Shadow Beasts were evolving, and their numbers were growing at an alarming rate. It was almost as if when they weren't attacking humans, they were busy producing of their kinds.
Also, the environment was also turning worse, making it harder for general public, especially the ones without superpowers, to breathe.
The situation was clear - If the other four safe zones weren't fortified soon, millions would perish.
And so, for the next two months, Grace barely had time to rest.
Country R had been struggling more than the rest. Their safe zone was smaller than Country C's, barely half the size of Starfall Isle. Their resources were running low, and their forces had suffered significant losses fighting Spirit Beasts in their attempts to gather stones.
