Inside the snowbound palace of Snezhnaya, every Harbinger stares at the "Elemental Fusion Reactor" floating before the throne, sinking into deathly silence.
"Viktor, I asked you to research how to safely extract power from the Abyss..." The Tsaritsa rubs her temples, her cool voice trembling slightly. "Why did you turn your model of Celestia into a magic-energy core that could blow up the earth's ley lines at any moment?"
Viktor adjusts his monocle, the corner of his mouth curling into an elegant smile as he gives a solemn aristocratic bow.
"Your Majesty, this is precisely the safest solution. If we blow Celestia out of the sky in advance, no one will hold us responsible for the threat of the Abyss. As a meticulous scholar, I have always preferred to solve problems at their source."
"And what if the plan fails?"
"Then Snezhnaya will enjoy the grandest fireworks display in history. I've even built you a viewing platform."
The Harbingers all take half a step back, cold sweat trickling down their faces.
Looking at Viktor's earnest, innocent expression, the Tsaritsa suddenly feels that, compared to declaring war on the Heavenly Principles, figuring out how to keep this walking disaster from causing trouble is the real headache...
