what is more

Beyond that point

What is more introduces an additional point that strengthens or extends what was just said—a rhetorical intensifier meaning "furthermore" or "and additionally": The plan is expensive and, what is more, unlikely to work.

It signals that the speaker is about to add something even more significant or surprising than what preceded it.
