After the supply problem was solved, they sailed without any obstacles until they successfully passed the estuary, and entered the sea area."... So~ Now we are here, where should we go?" Ask Taufik.
"I don't know, We've been sailing the seas around here, we've visited several kingdoms over the years, and been involved in several events that will probably go down in history, come to think of it, there's never been a place we've visited where we haven't been involved in something, and my only purpose in sailing the seas was to find a way to get back to- No, there's no need to think about it"
Marzuki said but stopped when he talked about his goal of finding a way home, but Taufik didn't have a problem with it and didn't want to question it.
Although Taufik's initial goal in the past was to bring his father, Marzuki back to the future, and now that he has met Marzuki, Taufik does not want to go back just like that, all because of Aksara's presence, if it was only Gaia, then Taufik would have no problem going back to the future because Gaia would understand, but Aksara is different, if Taufik goes straight to the future, Aksara will spend hundreds of years without the presence and memories with Taufik, his father, and that is something Taufik wants to avoid, so in the two years of his remaining time, Taufik wants to travel the world with Aksara as much as possible, at least Aksara has meaningful memories with Taufik.
"... Is there any city or kingdom that you guys haven't visited around here?" Taufik asks again.
"There's one, but, that kingdom it's, how I said it, The kingdom is full of fanatics"
Hearing this, Taufik immediately understood the kingdom that Marzuki meant. Saranjana, who has almost all the information about the world, and Taufik, as the King of the Saranjana Kingdom, of course, know the hot news that is happening in the world. Moreover, with news such as the news of the formation of the New Kingdom, like the kingdom referred to by Marzuki.
This kingdom is still relatively new, but its growth is very rapid, even beating the Saranjana Kingdom, but only in terms of population growth, being called a Kingdom may be a little inaccurate, because the power of the Kingdom is divided into twelve even though it is still in one Kingdom, the twelve leaders are not referred to as a King, but as a 'Messenger' and his people are not referred to as 'residents' but as believers.
The kingdom did not have a definite name, but people called it the 'Holy Kingdom' or the Kingdom of the Gods, and many more, but the one most often used by people was the Olympus Kingdom.
Yes, the Kingdom is a Kingdom formed by the twelve Main Gods of Olympus, as a representation of Mount Olympus on Earth, Since Gaia released the barrier that protected the Earth from outside beings, and with Gaia's presence on Earth, the Mana on earth has improved, but it also poses a danger, namely the increasing frequency of cracks opening, and also making the Earth a habitat that can be inhabited by 'creatures' other than Humans, basically, the Earth is slowly returning to the state when the Earth was first created, where the Earth was the center of the universe, but that also holds its own dangers.
Back to the Olympus Kingdom, the Kingdom was formed three years ago, right where Mount Olympus is, at first, there was nothing there, but three years ago, right below the foot of Mount Olympus a magnificent staircase rose high into the sky right above the peak of Mount Olympus, since then, people who called themselves 'messengers' began to appear, they gathered 'followers' by spreading teachings and showing miracles, and gave what is now called 'God's Blessings' which allows the Humans who receive it to gain great power, when the news spread, what started out as just an association became a Kingdom with a very rapid population growth in just three years.
The formation of the kingdom was a bit problematic because the area was still part of the Eastern Roman Empire, but somehow, perhaps because of fear, because after all their opponent was a god, not just any god but the King of the Gods, Basil, the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire at that time, gave the area around Mount Olympus to them in the name of an 'Offering' to Zeus himself.
The Olympus Kingdom is not the only one like that; on other continents, the same thing also happened; the point is that the current growth of the earth is heading towards unknown possibilities; it could be a blessing, but it could also be a curse.

"Ohh~ You mean that 'Holy kingdom'?"
"Yeah~ I don't know why, but somehow, I don't want to get involved with that Kingdom"
"... Why?"
"I don't know, hunch maybe? My gut feeling tells me that if I go there something very troublesome will happen, something that involves me and... My family? That's it, it's not just my gut feeling, something inside me tells me that I shouldn't go there, it just appeared like that without a reason, even though the Kingdom is newly formed"
Hearing Marzuki's words, Taufik was curious about why his father could have the hunch.
'... Does it have something to do with me, do the Olympian gods know that he is my father? But why did he have that feeling? Does it have something to do with 'Will'? Did he do something? But 'Will' disappeared when I fell into a coma, or maybe it was just my father that strong hunch, I don't know...'
"... Well~ That sounds interesting, should we stop by there?"
"What? Didn't you hear what I just said?"
Marzuki said, hearing this, Taufik shrugged his shoulders and then said.
"... Hunch could be wrong, and I like interesting things, and I also have a 'little' business with Zeus"
"SAY WHAT? YOU HAVE A 'BUSINESS' WITH WHOM?"
Marzuki asked in a loud voice, making the entire crew's eyes turn towards them.
"... Zeus?"
"..."
Hearing that, Marzuki fell silent. He thought what Taufik said could be a lie, but even so, it was still a shocking thing: who doesn't know Zeus? The King of the Gods and the Ruler of the sky, Zeus, even though what Taufik said could be a lie, still, it wasn't a funny thing.
"... It's not funny even for a joke, Ranjana"
"It's up to you if you want to believe it or not, I will follow you wherever you go, I just suggested" Read new chapters at mvl
"..."
Hearing this, Marzuki fell silent again, and after a while, Marzuki called one of his crew.
"Aren, come here"
Marzuki called his crew, who were currently controlling the ship, and the crew, Aren, who heard Marzuki's call, then gave control to his other colleagues and then went down to meet Marzuki.
"Yes, Boss? What do you need me for?"
"Ranjana, This person here is our Navigator, Aren, and Aren you already know who is this person, so there's no need for a further Introduction"
"Well, isn't it already too late for an Introduction?" Aren ask.
"Yeah~ Whatever, I just want to ask you, It is possible for us to go to the Holy Kingdom?"
"What? Do you want to go to the Holy Kingdom now? I thought you were avoiding the Kingdom?"
"Not now"
"..."
Hearing this, Aren fell silent before sighing and finally saying.
"...
*Sigh*
You can be so absurd sometimes, Capt, you know that?"
"Yeah~ Yeah~ Just answers my questions already"
"
*Sigh*
Wait, I'll go take the map"
Said Aren, who then walked into the dam cabin a few minutes later, he returned with a map in his hand.
"... Let's see"
Said Aren after spreading the map on a table.
"We are now in the Celtic Sea, and the Holy Kingdom is here... Well~ It will be a very long journey, I'm afraid our supplies are enough to get there, Boss, we have to stop several times before passing through the Strait of Gibraltar and that's not even half the journey"
Aren explained it clearly to Taufik and Marzuki.
"You don't have to worry about supplies, I have Planty with me"
Said Taufik, who immediately resolved the supply problem; this made Marzuki a little uncomfortable, but they had no other choice, so he could only remain silent.
"... If Mr. Ranjana has said so, then we can go straight to cross the Strait of Gibraltar; from there, the situation will be a little better; so, Capt, Is our destination definitely the Holy Kingdom?"
"Yeah~ I also want to confirm why my Hunch told me to stay away from that Kingdom"
"Alright"
Said Aren, who then closed the map again.
"... Guys, We already have a destination where we are going next, Raise all the sails of the ship and go full speed"
Marzuki ordered his crew, and after that, the sails of all the ships were raised, and the ships that were initially moving at a moderate speed were now sailing at full speed.
"... Papa, where are we going?"
