Chapter 1393 Preparation [2]

Chapter 1393 Preparation [2]

The secret realm expedition wasn't too crazy of an event.

Well, depending on who one talked to.

Perhaps the Veritas Clan would have plenty of stories to tell. The Kyushu Federation also had a lot of new things to discover from the samples they collected in the uncharted territory.

The Vega Clan spent the secret realm this time relatively the same as every other time, and Damien...well, Damien wasn't one to overhype his achievements.

He definitely did a lot. He killed a God, albeit by cheating a bit, and he discovered a hidden piece he never expected to find.

However, this was just one step of many.

Since it was ending, he needed to collect himself and get ready for what came next.

Though, he first needed to wait for the secret realm to actually open. From the day he first sensed the fluctuations in space, it took roughly two weeks for the secret realm to actually decide on closing and send them out.

Afterwards, there was naturally a huge show.

The Straea Clan raged. Not a single person from the tens of those they sent into the realm returned, whether it was those who entered legally or illegally.

And who were they going to blame?

Naturally, it was the Veritas Clan.

Who else could they drag into this mess?

They'd lost two Gods and several Demigods in a plan to destroy the Veritas group, but the Veritas Clan members came back only missing a single Elder: Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

If they weren't infuriated, they were stupid. No, either way, they were stupid, since they were placed in the same position they expected their enemies to be in at this very moment.

Nevertheless, what could they do but make a scene?

They had no just cause to blame Veritas, and even if they did, it'd only reveal the fact that they attacked first, that too using underhanded means.

The Straea Clan couldn't be the one injured by this incident, especially now that they'd already taken hits, therefore, after a few back and forths with the Veritas Clan group where quite the harsh words were spit from both sides, they had to gnash their teeth and retreat.

Damien watched from the side with a smile on his face. It was great seeing Straea struggle.

And once the commotion died down, after the Grand Elders had some brief conversation with the Vega Clan group, they returned to their spirit ship, headed straight to the Veritas Estate.

'Regardless, it was a good trip.' Damien thought, looking out of one of the spirit ship's windows.

He improved unexpectedly, he got to take action against his enemies, though the level was negligible in the grand scheme, and he was able to find talents worth raising.

Overall, he gained a lot more than he ever thought he would from a simple protection mission.

The time had come for his relationship with the Veritas Clan to change.

It would no longer be one of client and mercenary, one of leader and subordinate,

"Then, I'll graciously accept your aid."

Damien smiled as he shook Julian's hand.

The terms weren't so simple. When they first made the agreement, Damien made sure they couldn't half-ass their assistance in any way.

Whether it be military or financial support, Veritas would provide it as long as it was within reasonable bounds.

They were not becoming subordinates, but it wasn't wrong to say this was the moment Veritas truly became a sister sect with Void Palace.

From this point forth, they would be two peas in a pod, two influences who stood together in victory and defeat.

Negotiations continued from there and didn't stop until a day had passed and both sides reached a satisfying conclusion.

With their business finished and the details sorted out, Damien once again shook Julian's hand before leaving alongside Yulia.

"Do you plan to return immediately?" Yulia asked, glancing at him in intrigue.

What was his next step?

He could very well head to Vega territory and gather even more supporters, but how much time had passed?

Back then, Yulia gave Void Palace a decade before it collapsed.

Though her judgement wasn't completely accurate, over half that time already passed since then. Damien couldn't delay any longer.

"Yeah. It's time for me to see it."

His words were said without much hesitation.

He looked out at the horizon.

His disguise melted away, revealing the amethyst-purple eyes and chiseled features he'd kept hidden for the past six or so years.

"I'd like to see how great my birthright really is."

Yulia smiled.

Damien was great fun to be acquainted with. He didn't seem to realize himself, but even when he tried to hide his true worth, he shined like the brightest of diamonds.

He had accomplished a lot of unexpected feats in the time they knew each other. She never told him outright, of course, but he really did perform feats above what even those eternally blessed by heaven could pull off.

So she'd been waiting for this moment.

"I'll prepare the portal," she said.

She could sense it. She'd been sensing it from the start, and when Julian finally met Damien, he sensed it as well.

The moment Damien Void returned to Void Palace, the landscape of the Heavenly World would change.

And both of them were absolutely sure they wouldn't regret the decisions they made here today.
