Half an hour before the Divine Trial opened, the towers around the world lit up with runes as shimmering light exploded into the sky. A deep, celestial voice boomed through the minds of every sentient being.
"The Trial of Gods has begun," the voice said. "Those who are worthy must step into the towers before the day is past. No spatial items will be allowed within the tower, and any such items will be inert."
The voice was low and clinical, as if a robot was talking to them. Once it was done, a piercing pillar shot into the sky from each tower, including those that had yet to be found by humanity.
The world was in mayhem, but many chose to rush into the towers for the promises of power. A strange phenomenon occurred where, if someone was close to the tower for an extended period of time, they were teleported away.
