— 1 Minute Before Hellgate Opens - Atlanteus HQ —
The tranquil hum of Atlanteus Base instantly shifted into a cacophony of urgency as alarms reverberated through the underground command center. Penthesilea, the base director, wasted no time. Her gaze swiftly traversed holographic displays, revealing the imminent convergence of demonic energy detected by the satellite at Tessia Kingdom Royal Square—an ominous sign of an impending Hell gate opening.
"Attention all personnel! This is not a drill!" Penthesilea's authoritative voice echoed through the intercom. "Hell gate opening imminent! Massive demonic energy detected at Tessia Kingdom Royal Square! This is not a drill!"
In the city-like complex of the base, elite operatives and warriors moved with disciplined precision to their assigned stations. Civilian departments, including restaurants, supermarkets, and entertainment districts, swiftly closed down as non-combat personnel sought refuge in the prepared bunkers.
