## Incidents Relating to The Amulet

### Incident of the 31st (January 31st, 2021)

During this incident, which occurred on January 31st of 2021, a portal powered by a generator that ran on end crystals spontaneously materialized on a residential street in Noop City, very close to Noopa Mall X. It is unknown how the generator materialized like this.

The Noopian Armed Forces assembled a squad of 5 to investigate the appearance of this generator. When they arrived, the street was empty and a residental house was transformed into a section of the Void.

From a portal powered by the generator came undead Oofians and Wekonic scorch servants, lead by the General of the 1st Army of The Underworld, Gragnarock The Destroyer. It was revealed here that Oofla has been working with The Devil to retrieve the amulet. Gragnarock the Destroyer also cloned himself on multiple occasions using his supernatural powers.

Once all hostiles were defeated, the Noopian soldiers destroyed the generator and took fallen End crystal samples. The residential house returned to its normal state after Gragnarock The Destroyer left.
