Floor 20

As the seals were released, the barrier began to weaken, allowing Souji and Minato to cross through. As they entered the 20th floor, they found themselves surrounded by a swirling vortex of energy. It crackled and pulsed within the darkness, and the floor appeared to be composed of a space similar to that they had both experienced when their world was lost.

Standing in the center, although there was no visible ground for her to be standing on, was former Senior Councilor Aenathia.

"So, you have come," she said. "That you could escape the barrier was remarkable. I shall alert my superiors, your world can be saved. [Humanity] is willing to admit its mistake and welcome your world into the Fraternity. All I ask is that I cooperate. This is, after all, for the benefit of everyone."
