Chapter 950 Sadness

950 Sadness

Michael left the Nest behind. He activated the Runic Gate and carried Alice Zenovia through it to return to the Origin Expanse.

He brought his lover to his room in the wooden manor and put her on his bed. Alice was still in an artificial coma and she would probably stay like this for...a while.

'I should try curing her in the same way I've taken care of Zeke and Kaleb. That should work.'

Michael tilted his head and thought about the options for a moment before he gave in. It worked with Kaleb and Zeke, so it shouldn't be much different with Alice either. The only difference was probably the difficulty level.

"Alice!!" A voice thundered through the wooden manor less than five minutes after Michael returned with Alice Zenovia. Footsteps resounded in the hallway and it wasn't long before the door to Michael's room was smashed open. Too much force was applied to the door and it was ripped out of its hinges. Michael scowled at Kaleb Zenovia, Zeke, Hiraku, and Frederik as they charged into his room, but he knew better than to cuss them out.

Kaleb's eyes were wet and the dam broke, unleashing torrents of tears, when his eyes landed on his sister.

He charged to the bed and bent down next to it. His hands were about to pass through the advanced healing serum to reach for Alice Zenovia when Michael slapped the back of his hands.

"Don't even think about it. You will break the artificial coma. Alice's Blood Incursion is much worse than yours. I don't want to risk her hurting herself once the Blood Incursion realizes that I forcefully signed a Link of Loyalty with her." Michael explained to Kaleb, who looked at his friend as if he had been beaten into a pulp. Kaleb's puppy eyes pierced deep into Michael's soul but he didn't budge. There was no need to take any risks. It would be the best if they didn't have to wake up Alice before the Blood Incursion had been removed entirely. Everything else would be dangerous and possibly worse than leaving her like this.

"You found her." Kaleb mumbled once he got back to his senses. Tears trickled down his cheeks while his focus was entirely on his sister's sleeping figure. "She looks so peaceful."

He swallowed hard and glanced at Michael, "Do you know...what she had to go through in the last few years?" Kaleb was hesitant but he had to know how his sister had been doing in the last few years.

"It's not...your fault. You know that. The Supreme Human Alliance is at fault. They're the cancer of the cosmos..." Zeke cursed while tears continued trickling down his cheeks.

Michael didn't know what to respond. It was true that the SHA was the origin of most of their problems. The Tritan Alliance wouldn't have anymore issues if not for the Supreme Human Alliance, and the Descendants wouldn't have been kidnapped, brainwashed, and forced to undergo a Blood Incursion that changed everything. "Can I take Lincoln with me?" Zeke asked. He swallowed hard but got his act together. He got up from the ground and looked at his friend, new tears pouring from his eyes, "I...need to tell his family..."

"Of course," Michael nodded, "Do whatever you think you have to do. I won't hold you back. Talk to his family, or travel back to the Tritan Alliance if you want to."

Traveling back to the Tritan Alliance without the resources and bridges fo the Nest was a little difficult but it wasn't impossible. All Michael had to do was to purchase some one-time use Artifacts in the Cosmic Shop. They were a little bit more expensive, but Michael didn't think about the costs right now.

"I don't know. I think I need some...time..." Zeke responded weakly. He stored Lincoln's corpse absentmindedly and left the room. Kaleb looked at his sister's sleeping figure and pressed his lips together.

"Make sure you heal her. Please..." Kaleb said to Michael before turning to the door, "In the meantime, I'm going to help Zeke. He might not want to see me but I think he needs someone."

Michael nodded, "I will make sure to rescue Alice. I will give my best. Take care of Zeke in the meantime."

Frederik and Hiraku looked at each others and looked seriously at Michael.

"We can take care of your territories. Focus on Alice and tell us whenever you need something. Alice should be your main priority right now."

"I will take care of her," Michael declared, "Don't worry. I will rescue her. Even if we have to start all over from scratch again."
