At an empty and unfamiliar room somewhere in the Academy, A Stargate was lit up.

Athan and Senior Rishen stood in front of the Stargate.

Senior Rishen looked at Athan and said with a smile, " Go and relax for however long you want. I will handle your Academic matters. When you feel like coming back, Use this. "

He then handed Athan a ring that had dark silver inscribed patterns.

" This ring can open a mini wormhole with its other end opening at my place. It is a one-time use item, so it will disappear after you open the mini wormhole, and it will only stay open for 1 minute. "

Athan took the ring and thanked him before entering inside the stargate that Senior Rishen prepared for him.

...

After a brief moment, Athan arrived at a familiar.

It was the same cave, and there were not any changes as everything was the same. The Stargate was activated constantly until now because it was built upon a space source.

After exiting the cave and passing through the chaotic space storm around the mountain, He sensed several presences and saw people in front of him.

But he didn't let them sense him as he simply disappeared.

More specifically, He teleported away some distance away and up in the sky before taking a deep breath.

" Huuu.....I wonder how Mike and others are doing? "

He flew towards the Thunder-Fire Valley direction, and it didn't take him long to reach there.

The place was completely different as two more floating islands beside the main floating island. It seems that there was a big renovation on the main floating island as A giant palace that was similar to Thousand Deity hall was build there.

He just stood there and watched in a daze as he remembered his days here.

The patrolling guards noticed his presence as they flew towards Athan and asked with a grim voice, " Who are you? This is the Core Thunder-Fire Valley. You can't just barge in here. "

Athan looked at the guards but didn't say anything and just disappeared.

The guards were sweating buckets when they felt Athan's gaze on them. They felt like they were standing against an Ancient deadly beast that could kill them within a second.

...

Athan disappeared from the Thunder-Fire valley, and soon he arrived at his town.

The town didn't change much, but he noticed that The orphanage had a full renovation and seemed to be a lot bigger than before.

He descended there and was surprised to notice two presence.

One was extremely familiar, while the other presence seemed a bit weird and...powerful.

' Who could it be? '

Athan frowned a bit as he was worried.

He descended and saw some familiar kids who brought a smile to his face.

" Hey...it's Athan Woahhhh.."

" What really? Athan is here, hahaha. Everyone, today is a lucky day. Both Athan and mike are here. "

...

Hearing the commotion, three people came out from the Orphanage.

" BROO!!! "

Mike dashed towards Athan after spotting him and gave him a bear hug before saying with a grin, " Damn, I didn't expect that you would come so soon. Surprise huh? Well, it's a delightful surprise, hahaha. "

He then turned back and introduced a person with a cheeky grin, " She is my wife, Qerin. She is not any less beautiful than Tiana."

Qerin smiled towards Athan and said, " Hello. Mike told me a lot of things about you, Mostly praises. "

Athan nodded with a smile before he walked towards Mrs.Ralph, who was already tearing up.

" Mr.s Ralph, I'm back. "

She gently hugged him and said, " I am glad you are safe, Athan. " After that, she asked with a doubt, " By the way, I don't see Tiana? Isn't she with you? "

Athan's expression turned unnatural, but he smiled shortly and said, " She is safe. It's just that she is at another place but don't worry; she will be with me soon. "

Mrs. Ralph spoke in a scolding tone, " You better take care of her, ok? She is such a precious. I have heard about what she did for you from Mike. Although she was rash, she truly loves you.

Athan nodded with a smile, hearing that as Mrs. Ralph once again said with a smile, " You two can go and catch up with each other while Qerin and I prepare for dinner. we will prepare a feast since you are all gathered today. "

Qerin also grinned and said, " I've been learning a lot from Mrs. Ralph, so expect some good dishes from me, Mike. "

Mike put up a pondering expression and said doubtfully, " Hmmm...Are you sure? Last time you burned the whole dish to crip---"

Seeing Qerin's glare, Mike shut up and said lovingly, " Ok ok queen, Whatever you make will be delicious, and I'll eat it gladly. "

Qerin smiled sweetly and said, " Good, But I am serious ok? I've improved a lot. "

After that, Mrs. Ralph and Qerin entered the orphanage to prepare while Mike and Athan accompanied the kids.

After talking with the kids, They both flew up as Mike told Athan to follow him.

He led Athan and arrived on a mountain top.

" Brother...What happened? You can't hide anything from me. I can already tell from your eyes and expression that something happened. "

Mike said with a grim face to Athan while grabbing his shoulder.

Athan avoided his eyes from the mike, but mike persisted and wouldn't give up, so he told him about things that happened recently with red eyes.

He also told mike about other things that happened after arriving at the Myriad Stars Academy.

...

Inside the Black whirlpool.

Tiana caressed Mimi's sleeping head with a worried face, Mimi looked fatigued and ill, and her sleeping expression had frowned, and it seems as if she was experiencing some pain.

" You worked hard, Mimi. "

She then looked in a certain direction at the top where Athan's giant soul was slumbering and sighed.

...

After listening to everything, Mike gave a bear hug to Athan, " Don't be sad, bro. Avelia wouldn't want to see you like this.....sigh. You've been through a lot. "

He then separated and said with an awkward face, " Although I don't understand your thought process of not accepting her even at the end. But you must have your own thoughts regarding this. "

Athan shook his head and said as he wiped his face, " I was a fool, I felt her sincere love and her resolve at the end, but I stayed stubborn like an idiot. If I accepted her, then she would at least feel happiness before...."

He didn't continue and took a deep breath and said, " But I will fulfill her task and wish when I get strong. That's my promise. "

Mike smiled as he punched Athan below his right shoulder and said, " That's my bro! Use those emotions to get strong. That's the only thing we can do. "

Athan nodded with a sad smile before his face turned into a frown and said, " But your...wife. I feel like there is something wrong with her. I feel like she is very powerful as I felt a bit threatened. How did you meet her? "

Mike turned silent for a brief moment before he smiled and said, " I met her at Dark Swamp when I went there to train. More specifically, I found her fainted there. But no beast could do anything to her as a golden barrier was surrounding her.

But the barrier had cracks and seemed on the verge of breaking, so I saved her. She seemed to have lost her memories, so she doesn't remember anything regarding what happened to her, but I took care of her, and we fell in love with each other as we lived together for some time.

And I also know she is very powerful, but we....truly love each other now. "

Athan looked at Mike and said with a smile, " Alright. It's your choice, bro, and I support you. "

Mike grinned and said, " Hey, She is really good to me and everyone. She also teaches the kids, and thanks to her, I also reached Origin Intent Plane and even comprehended Advanced Level of space Intent. "

And We'll go together with you when you return to the Myriad Stars Academy. I hope I can pass their examination. As for Qerin, I think she will be able to pass it easily, hahaha."

Athan nodded while thinking, ' Hmmm, it's a good idea. Senior Rishen might be able to see what's the deal with Qerin. '

Afterward, Both of them returned to the orphanage.

...

In the Legendary Sector.

A meeting was being held inside the big palace hall between peak-level figures of the Human race.

Rath Blighton, who looked like an elderly man, spoke in a cold voice, " I've already told you about the deeds of Rotal. I am trying to find him for hours now, but it seems like...He got someone's help and has hidden somewhere. "

" If any of you know about it, Then don't hide it from me. This matter is a serious one. "

Hearing about this, Other peak-level figures stayed silent for a while.

But the silence was soon shattered by someone.

" Senior Rath, You are one of the three Pillars of our human race, and you always make the best decisions for the human race. Especially the recent Intent you comprehended, The Profound Impartation Intent. But right now, Roumbra Blood War is coming, and Senior Fang chose Rotal as one of the three participants for the Roumbra Race from us. "

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man that had blond hair and a thin figure.

The others were also surprised and shocked by what he said as it seems that they were not aware of this development.

So They raised objections.

" What do you mean by that, Yojas? We haven't held the meeting on who to choose as participants of the Roumbra Blood War yet. "

" Indeed. How can it be decided alone by Senior Fang? "

" Yes. We nee- "

...

Senior Rath looked at this scene with a furious and sad expression, ' Sigh...Everyone only has Roumbra Blood War in mind, and no one is giving a damn about laws. '

A terrifying pressure exploded from him along shining golden light.

" SHUT UP "

*silence*

Everyone shut their mouth and as they looked at the furious expression of Senior Rath.
