"Erebus are you sure about this?" Kazuya asked as he looked at the panels laid out before him, behind him Kenji was inside the Anchor and still in-game.

There were a few panels that caught his interest, the first was a live feed of the Battle of Heavensgard from a birds-eye view, another was the same but this time containing various profiles of the Players on the ground alongside their Neuro-Sync Levels, which was followed by several focused shots focusing on a handful of Players fighting one another with a large focus on their Neuro-Sync Levels and how they are beginning to peak as well, the most notable were:

[Name: Mori Branwen – Mori Branwen]

[Neuro-Sync Levels: 259/250]

[Transcendence Achieved]

[Name: Lena Barnes – Gemia]

[Neuro-Sync Levels: 251/250]

[Transcendence Achieved]

[Name: Kenji Shimono – Galen Shroud]

[Neuro-Sync Levels: 1500/250]

[Transcendence Achieved]

[Resonance in Effect]

[Name: Manaka Hanazawa – Juno Veil]

[Neuro-Sync Levels: 1500/250]

[Transcendence Achieved]

[Resonance in Effect]

He was in awe for a moment as he looked at Kenji and Manaka's Levels, they're almost inhuman to be able to achieve such a level. But then he turned to the two fighting within Heavensgard Tower.

[Name: Haruka Fuyumori – Revan Winterwood]

[Neuro-Sync Levels: 550/250]

[Transcendence Achieved]

[Name: Natsuki Harumura – Shinn Vesna]

[Neuro-Sync Levels: 550/250]

[Transcendence Achieved]

"Yes, the following Players show the signs of passing the threshold of achieving Transcendence. Due to the low chances of having four Transcendence Candidates present there was no other choice." Erebus explained to him.

"Shimono-senpai and Hanazawa-san aren't included?"

Erebus paused for a moment but then spoke.

"They have long achieved that but their bodies are incompatible for what was to occur to Phase Two." Erebus continued to explain.

And then Kazuya looked at the new Panel that appeared in front of him.

[Initiate Phase Two]

[Y?/N?]

"And chances of Failure?" He asked, worrying about the potential repercussions this may hold.

"Zero sir," Erebus answered as Kazuya looked at the prompt once more eventually he made his choice and started Phase Two.
