Location: Thunder Realm - Blood Realm Connection Portal
Focus: Trinity Network completion phase
With the Thunder Realm fully restored and humming with perfectly synchronized electrical energy, Jin Ho stood before the portal that connected this dimension to the Blood Demon Realm. But now, instead of just maintaining a simple doorway between realms, he had something far more ambitious in mind.
"The Trinity Network," he murmured, studying the portal's electrical patterns with his enhanced perception. "If I can establish the Thunder Realm as the central hub, we could create instantaneous travel and resource sharing between all three realms."
"Ambitious," Blood Heaven Great Emperor observed with approval. "And strategically sound. The Blood Realm provides raw power, the Thunder Realm offers connectivity, and the Ice Soul Realm will contribute temporal stability. Together, they could form a defensive network that even the Void Overlord would struggle to penetrate."
"Plus," Thunder Lightning King added excitedly, "imagine the amplification possibilities! If we can create stable connections between realms, Jin Ho might be able to access multiple territorial bonuses simultaneously!"
Jin Ho raised the Blood Thunder God Spear-Sword and began channeling the Thunder Realm's 3x amplification into the existing portal. Instead of simply maintaining the dimensional gateway, he started weaving additional electrical pathways around it, creating a complex network hub that could support multiple connections.
The work was intricate and demanding. Each electrical thread had to be precisely calibrated to match the dimensional frequencies of the target realm while maintaining stability within the Thunder Realm's own space. Too much variance, and the portal would collapse. Too little, and the connection would be too weak to support the network's advanced functions.

As Jin Ho worked, he could feel the Blood Demon Realm's energy flowing more freely through the enhanced connection. The portal, which had previously been a simple doorway, was now becoming a sophisticated dimensional bridge that allowed the two realms to share not just physical access but also energy, information, and amplification effects.
"The connection is stabilizing," Jin Ho reported as golden lightning threads wove themselves into a complex pattern around the portal. "I can already feel some of the Blood Realm's amplification bleeding through. It's not full 5x power, but there's definitely enhancement beyond the base 3x."
"Excellent," Blood Heaven Great Emperor said with satisfaction. "Now for the difficult part—establishing the connection to the Ice Soul Realm."
Jin Ho turned his attention to creating an entirely new portal. Unlike the Blood Realm connection, which had been established through Seol Hwa-rin's sacrifice, this one would need to be built from scratch using only the Thunder Realm's electrical properties.
The challenge was that the Ice Soul Realm operated on completely different dimensional principles. Where the Thunder Realm was all about dynamic energy and constant motion, the Ice Soul Realm was based on crystalline structure and temporal manipulation. Finding common ground between electricity and time-ice would require unprecedented precision.
"Ice and lightning aren't natural enemies," Thunder Lightning King mused as Jin Ho began the delicate work. "In fact, both involve precise timing and crystalline structures. Lightning follows precise paths, and ice forms in precise patterns. We just need to find the resonance frequency."
Jin Ho extended electrical tendrils outward from the Thunder Realm, probing the dimensional boundaries for any trace of the Ice Soul Realm's unique temporal-crystalline energy signature. The process was like trying to tune a radio to a station that existed outside normal space-time.
Then, suddenly, he felt it—a cold, precise touch that made his consciousness briefly experience time from multiple perspectives simultaneously.
"There!" Jin Ho gasped, quickly stabilizing the contact with additional electrical support. "I can feel the Ice Soul Realm's temporal field. It's... it's beautiful. Like frozen time given crystalline form."
The new portal began to take shape, wreathed in electricity that sparked with frost and occasionally flickered between present and past states. Through the growing dimensional gateway, Jin Ho could glimpse the Ice Soul Realm—endless crystal palaces suspended in aurora-filled skies, where time moved in visible streams and past, present, and future coexisted in perfect harmony.

With all three connections stable, Jin Ho felt a rush of unprecedented power flow through the network. He was still primarily drawing on the Thunder Realm's 3x amplification, but echoes of the Blood Realm's raw power and hints of the Ice Soul Realm's temporal mastery were now accessible through the Trinity Network.
"It's working," he said in amazement. "I can access abilities from all three realms simultaneously. Not full amplification from each, but enough to create combination techniques that shouldn't be possible!"
To test the network, Jin Ho raised his weapon and channeled energy from all three connected realms. Blood energy flowed through the Thunder Realm's electrical pathways while temporal frost from the Ice Soul Realm crystallized around the lightning arcs. The result was a weapon technique that existed in multiple time states simultaneously while conducting life force through electrical current.
"Magnificent!" both Demon Lords declared in unison. "This network will revolutionize how we approach the coming battles!"
But even as Jin Ho marveled at the Trinity Network's capabilities, his enhanced perception picked up something troubling from the Ice Soul Realm connection.
