"Looks like we are done here," Almond said as he looked around before pausing on the Regalons.
Lily locked her arms with his. "Let's go home then."
The cat avatar appeared before Almond and Lily.
"Would you like to say a few words to anyone before leaving?"
Lily blinked and turned to Almond. "You want to say anything, darling?"
"To the folks in Arcadia Spectrum, we will be there in three years," Almond said.
"Alright, we are leaving now." He grinned. "Hope you all had fun as we had."
After that, Almond waved his hand, and all Regalons and Krala felt a sweep before everyone vanished.
Only Big D and Kexell remained, who looked around to find no one except for Joran and others fifty kilometers away.
[ Damn, they are gone? ]
[ I wonder when we will see them again? ]
[ Three years later, for sure. ]
"Wait, why did he leave you here?" Big D asked Kexell.
Kexell scratched his head before his eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh yeah, my plan was to follow Almond's suggestion. I want to go to a place where there are dragons. It's good if it's dangerous is good, but I'm also going to chill and have fun, as that's the main aim. Almond and Lily said I need to chill and fuck with other Dragons."
Everyone returned to Earth with Almond's long-range teleport.
As his Space elemental mastery reached the Ascent-rank, and even gained a strong variant version of Space of Oscillation Echo, there was no stopping him anymore.
The first thing Almond and Lily did after returning was hold a meeting.
Earth had to start operations again to maintain itself, but there were people for it, and the leaders of the respective divisions didn't have to oversee because Astra AI managed everything with her super advanced intelligent computing cores that Krala and Neo had designed. Astral AI had her own soul with Almond's Spirit Animation, so she was uber-capable in management.
Almond's orders were clear. Everyone was to use the resources they gained and fully focus on getting stronger by training and periodically visiting the academy to use their facilities and participate in monthly missions of the Mad Nuts Faction.
After the meeting, the long training montage began for all the top Regalons.
Krala also decided to become Regalon as he had finished thinking, so Almond gave him a seed, which soon weaved a cocoon around Krala as he entered his metamorphosis state of turning into a Regalon.
Regalons were semi-physical human-evolved meta-lifeforms, allowing them to convert everything they touch, fight, and extract into memories—Spirit, and use them flexibly with their Bloodline abilities.
Regalon themselves were convertible, but only for Almond, though eventually stronger Regalons would be able to convert weaker Regalons.
Almond still had to develop the Bloodline further, and that would only happen with his own progress.
Once he broke through to Immortal Emperor and developed his Bloodline into a proper Geneline, it would be finally complete.
And the three years were for him and as many Regalons as possible to reach Immortal Emperors.
Big D was going to give full support, so it was time. Six months had passed since Earth arrived on the second layer, and everyone was used to this world, and Almond and Lily had also properly developed enough to gain an alliance from multiple parties for a sufficient flow of resources.
Six days later, when Krala fully turned into a Regalon, he went on to make his Regalon Spirit Armament, and that marked the beginning of the insane development of Earth.
His armament weapon was a Staff, and it was more of a manipulation type, and he created new assets to use his Terranova Element along with the interesting applications of using powers of Spirits, which belonged to the monsters he killed, allowing him to create better structures, devices, and various other stuff.
As he was already a powerful Supreme Emperor with not much to improve upon, Krala joined the R&D Division to develop magitech and planet Earth, while also handling other matters.
This gave other Regalons full-time to just focus on training and getting powerful.
The Regalons who were more driven and burning to get strong were the old monsters, Grim Breakers, former guild folks, and other powerhouses from the various families, and some other folks rising for power and prestige of the House of Regalons.
Big D was already all in on the House of Regalon.
The main aim was to make the House of Regalon an ultimate force, the strongest one so far, and trample all over the existing order of the second layer!
And without the insane drive and thirst that Almond and Lily's influence brought along with their supreme potential, the creation of such a force was impossible. For origınal chapters go to NoveI★Fire.net
Admiral Rudra was another pillar, as Big D knew that without him, the ultimate force wouldn't form.
Looking at all the Regalons training at various facilities, dimensions, and on Earth, Big D grinned. "One year, and such progress. Two more years, and we are going to dance over Big Ten's graves."
"I knew that old guy was going to be insane with his strong foundation, but now that he combined an elemental into an Exotic one and learned to wield his Intents better, he is giving good exercise to Almond and Lily."
At the moment, Almond, Lily, and Admiral Rudra were fighting against one another in a chaotic battle, going all out without holding back.
Unfortunately, Almond was dominating the field as always. Lily and Admiral Rudra attacked him more. They had to.
"That goddamn soul trait is breaking scary limits for him," Big D wryly smiled. "To create such non-elemental assets...Geez, it's kind of frustrating to think that I could actually lose if I fought that brat now."
"Come on, Master. That's joyous news, isn't it?" Madam Ruby said as she arrived in her long-noble dress and a hand fan in hand. Looking at the fight through the big screen, she weakly smiled. "Monsters. Especially, lord Almond."
Almond was purely overpowered. His Arcane Constitution itself had reached 17k, while Lily and Admiral Rudra around around 12k.
The difference of 5k was too massive to overcome.
Even Madam Ruby had her Arcane Constitution at 13k.
Big D had his Arcane Constitution at 19k, and that was considered super peak. Like only a few Supreme Emperors, fewer than ten currently, had Arcane Constitution around that number.
But Almond was progressing at a scary speed, understanding many fundamental arcane concepts and breaking limits to comprehend fast as he created tons of assets and reached 17k Arcane Constitution from 11k in a year.
Although Almond, Lily, and Admiral Rudra were still at Immortal King rank, their Body, Soul, and Mental constitution had reached 4000, the peak of Immortal King rank.
Meanwhile, most of the top Regalons had broken through to Immortal-King rank.
All old monsters, most of the Grim Breakers, and former guild folks were at Immortal-King. And those who were not were about to break through soon.
The resources from that chaotic dimension helped a lot in such fast progress.
And Big D had also kept two more such chaotic dimensions for the Regalons. They were super rare, but he had kept them hidden for personal use so that the Big Ten won't demand those dimensions to be handed over.
"How is the preparation on your end?" Big D asked as he looked at Madam Ruby.
"Everyone is excited about the Regalons. The long wait is worth it," Madam Ruby smiled.
"Patience is good," Big D grinned. "Let the Regalons blend into one of the Big Ten. I suppose it would take one year at most after they finalize their choice in Arcadia Spectrum."
"And then we will strike and ascend," Madam Ruby's fists clenched.
"Master," she blinked and asked. "What about the things on your end? Did you find more information? All those threats of Big Ten can't be empty after all, right?"
