Chapter 39 - THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR

The following day, the supreme admin summoned all the admins to the central area of the base. There were at least over a thousand admins, perhaps even more, and a palpable tension thrummed through their ranks, a silent anticipation for the enormous war that was about to unfold. The supreme admin stood amidst the throng, his gaze sweeping over their eager faces.

"Now," his voice resonated, cutting through the murmurs, "I will bestow upon each of you an anti-gravity bracelet. This will be your anchor against the void. Should you be grievously wounded and fall into that abyss," a grim note entered his tone, "the system will obliterate your very souls. Therefore, heed my words – exercise utmost caution."

With a subtle gesture, the supreme admin willed it, and upon the wrist of each admin, an intricate bracelet materialized. Forged from a dark, ferrous material, it pulsed with vertical lines of vibrant blue energy, a tangible promise against the nothingness below.

A collective resolve settled over the assembled admins. Saland, his jaw set; Haytham, his eyes gleaming with a warrior's light; Shimmon, ever stoic; Christy, her hand already instinctively flexing near her weapon; Ken, Rabajen, and countless others – they stood ready to etch a new, perhaps final, chapter into the annals of the VR WORLD.

The supreme admin's fingers snapped, the sound sharp and decisive in the vast chamber. In the blink of an eye, the entire assembly was swept away, teleported to the precipice of battle. One by one, they materialized in a breathtaking, unsettling panorama – an endless expanse of azure sky, devoid of sun or ground. Sky stretched in every direction, an infinite blue canvas above, below, to the left, and to the right. Yet, peering downwards, a stark, ominous blackness yawned.

Each admin floated suspended in mid-air, a silent army awaiting its command. Before them stood the vanguard: the supreme admin Andrew, his presence radiating authority; Saland, his weapon already held at the ready; Haytham, a fierce grin playing on his lips; the unwavering Shimmon; and Christy, her stance coiled and alert.

In the heart of this boundless sky, a colossal rift tore through the fabric of reality. It pulsed with raw, untamed energy, visibly distorting the very air around it. A low hum emanated from the tear, a sound that spoke of immense power.

"That," the supreme admin declared, his voice ringing with purpose, "is our objective! Adhere to the strategies we have laid out, and victory shall be ours!"

Instantly, the admins dispersed, each taking their designated position. But even as they settled into formation, the impossible began to happen. From the gaping maw of the rift, countless glitches erupted, a chaotic torrent of digital corruption spilling into their world.

In Zone "A," the elite, high-level admins formed an unyielding bulwark, their combined power weaving a shimmering barrier against the encroaching tide. The first brutal clashes commenced, sparks of digital energy flaring against the encroaching darkness.

In Zone "B," the mid-level admins braced themselves, their weapons charged and ready to intercept the medium-tier glitches that managed to breach the initial defense. A grim determination etched their faces as they prepared to meet the next wave.

And in the final line, Zone "C," the low-level admins worked with frantic speed, conjuring holographic cots and medical equipment, transforming their sector into a makeshift field hospital. They were the last bastion, the final shield against the encroaching chaos.

Thus, in the heart of an endless sky, the ultimate war between admin and glitch had begun. The fate of the VR WORLD hung precariously in the balance.
