Chapter 556 Figure

"You're not going to see that little monster?"

Avalon stopped laughing, his expression becoming a little somber. A small smile marred his face as he turned and gazed at the Aegis airship.

"I'll see him after one year."

Avalon fixed his gaze on the ship for a few seconds without saying anything, with Sirius leaving him alone to his thoughts.

"We should head back; Lyanna must be furious," Avalon removed his gaze from the ship and turned towards Sirius, who shuddered at Avalon's words, remembering Lyanna.

Ae'ark turned his gaze upwards upon hearing Ae'zard's question. Their ship had already taken off, and they were both sitting on a comfy semi-circular chair inside the ship's control room.

While it had some similarities with the Aegis airship, one glance would tell most people that it was far more advanced and superior. In fact, there were no crew members present!

Ae'zard's hand was placed on top of a circular orb, a larger size than what Ae'ark had given to Magnus. Streams of mana flowed into it and the other parts of the airship smoothly.

"You mean Atticus?" Ae'ark responded.

"I see you remember the human's name," Ae'zard smiled.

"Wouldn't you? Especially after everything that had just happened,"

Ae'ark rested his back against the couch, his mind racing through everything that had occurred today.

'To think there was another one of us amongst the humans, just what is that being planning?'

Usually, each race would strive to wager something worthless that wouldn't be missed. At the end of the day, there was only one race that could win.

Just what was giving each of them this confidence?

Ae'ark didn't say anything more. If he had to be honest, he had an idea why they were each so confident. And it was this same reason he had added to the information artifact he had given to Magnus for Atticus.

The sound of the door parting open caught their attention, and both Ae'zard and Ae'ark turned to see a petite girl with chubby cheeks clad in black pajamas filled with cartoon characters walking in.

Ae'na rubbed her eyes with her tiny right hand, her left clutching a small teddy bear.

The expressions on Ae'ark and Ae'zard's faces softened, replaced by warm smiles.

...

The Aegis ship was enveloped in a tense silence. Each of the crew members went about their normal activities, but the excitement in the air was palpable.

They had each wondered who the winner was before, but now, it didn't matter. None of them needed to be told what the implications were. As soon as they saw Atticus's strength, they had reached a similar consensus: they finally had an Apex! And it was from their family!

Smiles appeared on each crew member's face, each of them already anticipating the future and their roles in it.

However, the one who was the cause of all this ruckus was sound asleep, already in dreamland.

Atticus found himself in pitch darkness, a sense of déjà vu washing over him.

He knew exactly what was about to happen. He had experienced it back during the leader's summit when he had used up his will.

This time around, Atticus could feel that something was different. It felt more dangerous.

Atticus simply stood there and waited, but no scenes were shown to him like before.

However, as time passed, countless seconds, the figure of an individual with the same identical features as him appeared, but this time enveloped in a black exosuit, a gleaming katana in its hand.
