Over 24 hours had passed since Jason had arrived in the first capital and he was overly exhausted as he had finally reached the last capital that was at the most rural.
The capital he had visited prior was near the coast, while the first one he had visited was partially surrounded by a huge mountain.
Yet, every single time, Jason flew to a capital, his eyes were burning, while his gut feeling was chaotic, seemingly trying to tell him that something was going to happen.
But nothing occurred all three times he felt something, and Jason began to wonder if his gut feeling was wrong.
This would be the first time that would have happened which caused him to believe that it was unlikely for his gut feeling to be mistaken about something.
It was only when Jason left the rurally located capital that the mana stored in his mana eyes' storage was rapidly consumed without him doing something.
His golden-silverish eyes began to glow brightly, enhancing his eyesight and perception of mana fluctuations drastically.
Even if his eyesight had already been exceptional, allowing him to see something more than a kilometer away with great details, right now, his current state allowed him to see much farther than he ever did before.
He was able to see the outlines of the Low- and Mid Lique stage battlefield too!
However, contrary to his expectations that the current state was stagnating as it did before, Jason's eyes widened in terror.
A moment later Artemis' wings in the largest form of more than a dozen meters spread out from his back, consuming a large amount of nutrition as he soared into the sky with a breathtaking speed.
Within the next few seconds, the unstable and chaotic mana that was caused by several million living beings passively replenishing their mana while releasing huge amounts of transmuted mana at the same moment came to a halt.
The stored mana within Jason's eyes had been consumed giving him the ability to see a tremendous amount of mana fluctuations gathering in three different places that were in fact the three battlefields of the Great Argos war's last battle!
Under normal circumstances, the huge accumulated amount of dense and pure mana nearby the battlefields wouldn't worry Jason, but there was something worrisome about it!
The entire stream of mana belonged to only three beings that didn't belong to either of the two fighting alliances!
Furthermore, two out of three mana fluctuations his mana eyes perceived were unfamiliar, yet, Jason could tell who, or rather what the last, familiar mana fluctuations were.
Right in front of him, on the Low- and Mid- Lique stage battlefield, the Owl-bear, he had encountered during his primal bloodline awakening, was wreaking havoc, destroying both fighting sites mercilessly.
Jason could tell that it would only be a matter of time before the battlefield would turn into a puddle of blood, organs, and dead carcasses, which caused him to stiffen.
His mana eyes also perceived that huge torrents of water transmuted mana were released at the Late- and Peak Lique stage battlefield, while the same occurred on the Prismar stage battlefield, only that the mana there belonged to a searing hot fire affinity, burning the cloud above the battlefield.
"The beast at the peak Lique stage battlefield...could it be the beast in the ocean?? Did we enrage, or wake them up from hibernating...That can't be it, the Owl-bear was not hibernating anymore after all!"
He had no idea what was going on, but it was obvious that something huge was bound to happen.
At that moment, Jason saw that the mana fluctuations from both beasts on the two battlefields that were further away had been compressed, which made it possible for Jason to see their outlines.
'A crow...and a whale...no that's not a whale...what kind of beasts are they?'
He didn't know the other beasts' mana core ranks and how strong they truly were.
But considering that the Owl-bear had already created one large, rotating crystal around three out of the nine solidified prismarine crystals it had created, the other two beasts should be even stronger!
The mana fluctuation and transmuted mana overflowing the area far in the distance was also an indicator for this assumption.
"Are those the strongest beasts of Argos?... Argos' real overlords?" This was not a certain fact, but it was not unlikely to be the case and Jason couldn't help but gulp before he bit his lower lip nervously.
Right now, what he witnessed meant that all three battlefields, both the Argos- and Drake alliance would be annihilated, if nothing were to change!!
This was something that shouldn't happen, and Jason began to worry about the situation that unfolded far away from him.
Yet, before he could see what was going on, his eyesight worsened as the entire mana inserted into his mana eyes had been consumed.
Right now, Jason could not even see something properly because his eyesight was blurry, which was something that hadn't happened for a long time.
'Since when do I have to rely on mana to see something?' He thought inwardly, yet, before he continued with his train of thoughts, his eyesight returned as his passive mana gathering had replenished a fraction of the used up mana.
It was also at that moment that a searing hot heatwave reached Jason, while small streams of water began to cover the ground in front of him.
The heat increased at a steady pace, while the small water streams began to turn into rivers.
Suddenly, Jason saw humans being swept away by the floods of water, pushed under which caused him to frown deeply.
However, at the same time, a huge tempest manifested in front of him, at the exact location at which the Low and Mid Lique stage battlefield should be.
At this moment, his worry about the possible outcome of the Great Argos had been washed away.
Instead, Jason was not even sure whether a single being that had participated in the war would be able to survive this day, let alone months, or he coming years!
The current situation seemed to be extremely bad, yet, without any warnings, the flood of water, the heatwave, and the tempest vanished into thin air.
Yet, instead of being able to relax, Jason tensed up as the Owl-bear seemed to turn in his direction!
Only a moment later a spatial portal manifested next to him out of which the large Owl-bear emerged.
It looked exactly as it did before, with the physique of a bear and the appearance of an owl.
There was only one thing that had changed, with was the Owl-bear's aura!
Jason didn't even have time to think about what he should do, and it was only his stigma and the Celestia aura he had instinctively released as the Owl-bear released a thin thread of mana that shot towards him.
Instincitvely, Jason accepted the thread of mana because he felt that the Owl-bear didn't release any killing intent anymore.
It was still angry about something, but that was everything Jason could feel.
After the mana thread had reached Jason, he sensed several emotions, pictures, and other means to describe something.
This allowed Jason to understand the current situation better than before, even if it was extremely confusing.
Just like that, the Owl-bear vanished and everything seemed to come to a standstill.
"Is that how the Great Argos war ends? Without a winning side, at a tie?" He mumbled while looking at the chaos of the closest battlefield.
Apparently, the three beasts that were in fact the Owl-bear, a Crimson three-legged crow, and a Niuy mosasaurs gave the Argos and Drake alliance a simple, yet, impactful warning.
Jason was unable to comprehend what had enraged the three Overlords, but there seemed to be something important on Argos that had to be protected.
Something that was worth intervening in a war of common and higher races that might return in the future, to take revenge.
As such, the three Overlords intervened in the Great Argos war, forcefully ending it as it disrupted their own interests.
Their warning killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions of living beings, but the final message was clear.
[Stop the war, or there will be no tomorrow for anyone!]
