A crown flickered to life above Sylas' head.
Before it could properly form, it vanished and another took its place, then another after that, one crown cycling into the next so quickly that their shapes began to blur together.
Sylas recognized them. He had worn these crowns before, manifestations born from the various Titles he accumulated throughout his path, but all of them should have disappeared when the Grim Reaper Title formed.
At the time, the system had been quite clear that the others were stripped away, their separate existences lost beneath the new Title. Yet as one crown after another flickered above him, Sylas realized that hadn't been entirely true.
They hadn't disappeared. They had been swallowed, their power and meaning folded into something greater even if the system itself hadn't seemed willing to acknowledge it that way. Or maybe it had simply been wishful thinking on its part.
The flickering finally stopped.
A sleek black band settled around Sylas' forehead, so simple that compared to the crowns that came before it, it almost looked ordinary. There were no towering points, no jewels, no complicated markings, only a thin circle of black wrapped around his head. But the moment it appeared, the Legendary City Stele pulsed in response.

Sylas' gaze lingered on the error for only a moment before another notification appeared.
[Warning: Territory boundaries have been restrained by the existence of foreign territories.] [Clear competing territorial authorities to restore the full range and functions of Sky Roaming.] [Until territorial restrictions are removed, several abilities of Sky Roaming will remain limited.] That was expected enough. Sky Roaming had only just manifested into the outside world, while the Galaxy of the Grimblades alone already littered with old territorial claims, newly evolved foundations, and powers that had existed long before Sylas arrived.
His ownership of the galaxy thankfully made all of that irrelevant. They had already been cleared. But he had no control over the bounds that existed beyond the Galaxy of the Grimblades, unfortunately.
Before he could focus on the matter any further, though, another notification descended.
