A familiar sight greeted Dyon as he witnessed the ma.s.sive world tree-like Earth Tower for the second time in his life .

An uncontrollable grin spread across his lips, his blood pumping with vigour he hadn't felt in ages . The events that seemed like such a distance pa.s.s had stolen two years of his life from him, and although most of those who were responsible had paid, Dyon still felt like it wasn't enough . He wouldn't feel better until he could truly stretch out his wings .

"Shouldn't we be rus.h.i.+ng to the Epistemic Tower?" Zabia asked . He had little understanding of situation, but everyone did seem much too relaxed to him .

Technically speaking, if they managed to get to the tower first this time, wouldn't this all be over?

Ri shook her head, "We tried this during the second campaign . But, it seemed they were willing to weather the danger of the gate's closure in order to make sure they had a leg up on us . "

Zabia nodded in acknowledgement . It wasn't exactly common knowledge that it was possible to survive in the gates while they were closed, but Zabia was a very straight forward kind of person . Since Ri said it, and she had no reason to lie to him, he would accept it .

That said, it was common knowledge to Ri . After all, Alidor and his sister did this very thing in order to survive the destruction of their clan . Of course, that was mostly due to Alidor's intelligence and array alchemy specialty, but the Uidah weren't ones to care about casualties of their lesser clan members .

All this to say, staying in the gates during their 'maintenance' periods was difficult, especially in large numbers, but not impossible .

The group stepped off of the large boat to walk along the dock . Much like the last time Dyon campaigned, there were already hundreds of thousands, if not millions of youths here already . The number was likely even higher than in the past considering only Earth Tower was left under their control . However, Dyon hardly cared about that .

"We can head to the Epistemic Tower directly . I can teleport us there in a few moments using the key . " Dyon stated nonchalantly . He hadn't really explained to anyone just what his plan was, so no one understood just what the Epistemic Tower Key could do . So, when they heard his words, shock was clearly evident .

Only Alidor, who was quiet as usual, didn't react . He had already a.s.sumed much of the possible functions of the key . After all, much like Dyon, he had figured out the special nature of the tower without anyone needing to tell him . The only thing he had been brooding over as of late was his disbelief that his soul strength still hadn't caught up to Dyon's .

Alidor, although he hadn't told anyone, had already resigned himself to following Dyon, not because he liked playing second fiddle, but because anything was a secondary matter to him if it meant he would be able to destroy the Uidah . He was smart enough to understand that Dyon was his best chance at this, in addition to his best path toward a bright future .

However, that didn't mean he wasn't depressed about the fact Dyon's seal on him was still going strong even after his two year coma .

Alidor knew, much like Dyon did, that as long as his soul strength surpa.s.sed Dyon's, the seal would become ineffective . He also knew that his soul talent in through the universes was matched by only a handful of people . In fact, before Clara came into the mix, he would bet that only Dyon could compare to him in terms of age and talent .

But, Dyon had clearly not cultivated in two years . And that was all on top of the fact his soul was damaged! So, how was it still stronger than his?!

This feeling of frustration was unfamiliar territory for Alidor . He was currently stuck at the peak of the 6th stage, unwilling to be a mad man to soar into sainthood without a strong enough body .

Maybe if he knew Dyon technically had 6 months training in a time locked s.p.a.ce he'd feel better . But, not by much .

Hearing Dyon's words, though, Ava was the very first to complain, even under the bitter smile of her elder brother . "Why couldn't you tell us these things before? You're always going off and doing your own thing . Tsk . "

Dyon laughed, "I would have, but I'm not a fan of authority . Plus, I was on vacation . "

"Psh," Ava was about to say more, but when she noticed the entourage of people approaching from the distance, she changed her next thought, "Speaking of authority . "

Dyon turned toward where Ava was referring to, and sure enough, a familiar figure with purple hair and a red and blue eye was approaching .

Much like in previous campaigns, the Belmonts always took charge of Earth Tower . It was the last line of defense, so as the Royal G.o.d Clan, this made perfect sense .

Unlike what one might think, Elwing, and not Lionel, had always been the head of this specific operation . This was because Lionel was often increasing his stock and rank . Staying here was mostly administrative work, which was exactly why Elwing never ranked despite being a prince .

This may seem useless, but it allowed Elwing in ingratiate himself with the lesser known clans . Clans that weren't quite G.o.d Clans, but were on the cusp . After all, between the hierarchy of places like Focus Academy and the G.o.d Clans, there were many in between clans as well . For example, Madeleine's step mother was from one such clan . A Sapientia branch that was higher than her father's, but lower than the main branch .

Meaning… If Elwing wanted to cause trouble, he could very well make use of these eager youths who were just waiting in the wing to replace the fallen G.o.d Clans of Earth . And considering the look in his eye, he may just do so .
