Chapter 844 Civil War

Chapter 844 Civil War

Michael told Daniel about the Tritan Alliance and its problems. He explained to his brother that he had to go there and take care of all the issues. Daniel told him that he would help, but Michael reassured his brother that everything would be fine. He told him to focus on his body and advance slowly while focusing on his foundation for the time being.

"I will take care of the mess in the Tritan Alliance!"

On his way back to Arx, where he wanted to manifest the Runic Gate, Michael encountered Frederik. They didn't talk much, but Frederik told Michael enough about the situation in the Tritan Alliance to make it clear that it was worse than expected. A civil war broke out, Descendants disappeared, and many died...too many.

The fights of Awakened were one big issue, but a lot worse were the spaceships and the sudden appearance of the traitor organizations such as Dark Heavens.

Dark Heavens had been silent for a long time, only to suddenly return stronger than ever. Frederik told him about a few rumors and news, saying that Dark Heavens kidnapped Descendants and Awakened with useful Soultraits. Many people disappeared, and too many civilians died during the last few weeks.

The tension in the Tritan Alliance was skyrocketing, and it was only a matter of time before the civil war would transform into an all-out war.

The Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs were already in a fury. They were under constant attacks and fought back as well as possible. However, it was also a matter of fact that not all humans were against them. If anything, more humans sided with the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs because they couldn't agree with the Blaze Patriarch's bloody actions.

Everyone knew that the Blaze Patriarch sacrificed an entire city to summon two Divine Lifeforms, which ended up killing themselves by exploding their bodies. This obliterated several provinces, killing hundreds of millions in the process.

If that wasn't bad enough, recordings showing the subordinates of the Blaze Patriarch kidnap children from months ago. After the first video surfaced, more people dared to reveal the dark truth: The Blaze Patriarch had kidnapped close to a million innocent children. Nobody knew what had happened to them, but the families who had lost their children had a bad feeling. They knew that their children had been killed but couldn't comprehend the situation at all. It didn't make sense to them.

Why would the Blaze Patriarch kill their children? WHY?!

Michael knew that Frederik was a good guy and would leave the Origin Expanse sooner than he'd mentioned. Frederik was not someone who could stay behind and do nothing.

He smiled at his friend and patted his shoulder, "We will see each other outside the Origin Expanse soon. Prepare the list, please, and don't die out there. Jacqueline would be sad."

Michael's smile widened, "I would be sad as well. So don't die, okay?"

Frederik smiled back at Michael. Even if his smile was forced, Frederik experienced a bit better.

"You can spar with my brother if you want. He's got a powerful Soultrait, and he has a lot of combat experience from before. Maybe a little spar will help you organize your thoughts and help you decide what to do."

That being said, Michael manifested the Runic Gate and disappeared.

He emerged back in the Nest Leader's room. It was empty, as expected, but that was for the best. Michael didn't want to talk to his sister or his parents right now. He had better things to do.

He rushed to the bridge, accessed the complex overlapped runic array, and experienced the world around him twist when a massive surge of energy emerged from all sides.

One moment, he was in the teleportation chamber of the Nest, and the next, Michael was in the open space. His body was coated in thick layers of fire-attributed energy. His energy was drained rapidly to keep his body warm and cozy. Others would have panicked in that situation, especially since he was a Higher Lifeform in the middle of nowhere. Still, Michael smiled lightly as he retrieved the Relic the Nest Leader had given him before.

It was a golden compass, a Relic that pointed toward his desired destination. But pointing toward the desired destination was not all it could do. The Compass Relic was also filled with highly compact energy storage and a series of miniature runic arrays.

Michael could move through entire stellar systems using the Compass Relic.
