"This is ridiculous! How do you expect the transitional spatial runes to synch with the original and the replicas without the support of the core?" Havek complained back to Romario.

Romario grew angry as he repeated himself. "As I said, they had their own flow of Divine Energy. They don't need to connect to the core to acquire their energy. They only need to communicate, even if it isn't a perfect synch."

"Preposterous!" Havek didn't seem to care. "You simply wanna bet that everything will be fine like this. You should connect to the core for energy, too!"

"And I already said it is not necessary. Besides, we don't have time. Such a change will delay the project several months again," Romario struck back. "Did you forget we have a war on our hands? We need to swap the realms as soon as possible."
