~as (there is) some plot to free themselves from his grip
Golgoth rules the world - or does he? The armored despot thinks he controls most of the populated Earth, ruling through military might and fear. But he can't even trust his own super-powered staff as some plot to free themselves from his grip. It's a tumultuous time as the balance of power begins to shift.
I'd like to know whether "there is" has been omitted after "as." and if so, "there is" can be omitted also in an adverbial clause not being a concessive clause("although~/though").
Thank you in advance for your help.
