Describe a tense scene of a dystopian, futuristic, ritualistic gathering of hooded and masked individuals discussing the evolving threat of intelligent machines.

### Response:
In a dimly lit, futuristic circular room with a concrete table in the center, a group of masked individuals wearing robes with the high council members are standing around a large circular table on an elevated platform conferring. The members are wearing hooded cloaks and various masks, such as skull masks, Kitsune masks, and demon masks. The atmosphere is mysterious and tense as the council members lead the discussion. At the head of the table, a woman named Quo is standing and addressing the group, while several male and female masked elders listen intently.

In the background, thousands of other masked individuals fill the auditorium, adding to the chaotic atmosphere of the gathering. Quo is passionately making a point about the threat posed by evolving machines, while one of the masked elders is seen leaning in and expressing concern. The scene is filled with tension and emotion, with everyone engaged in a heated argument about the future of their realm and the role of divine strength versus technology.
