Under Sine's precise operation, the "elevator" was activated once again—an apparatus akin to the Holy Nation's ascension platforms. Considering the sequence of events, perhaps the Holy Nation's platforms were modeled after the Tower of Heaven.
The first few layers posed no danger, just as Aiwass had observed. The Tower of Heaven had already been reduced to an empty void.
The mechanisms on the fourth layer held some value, but carrying them while ascending further would only be cumbersome. Thus, when passing through the fourth layer, they chose not to pause and continued upward.
"…Such isolated spaces layered one atop another, a towering vertical structure, and transparent ascension platforms independent of any foundation—everything here feels strangely familiar."
Aiwass remarked wryly.
