nAfter closing his eyes, Aster entered the mind space to pay a visit to a certain sword girl, he was welcomed by the eternal starry sky, as well as Hyperion floating there like always, he gazed at his soul avatar which looked more detailed and solid since he drank, the nectar of the twins.

n‘I wonder what’s their reaction going to be when I tell them about that’, he thought as he flew towards the highest point of Hyperion.

nOnce he reached their bedroom, he saw Rya laying down on the bed reading some kind of book.

nAster smirked and then landed on the bed, making Rya bounce so that he could spoon with her, before he whispered at her.

n“Since when my cute Rya is interested in other things besides cultivation?”.

n“Mm~”, Rya let out a cute sound feeling Aster gently nibbling on her ear.

n“My knowledge about the world is… outdated, and since my lover has promised to take me out soon, then I want to update myself even if it’s just the basics~”.

nAster smiled, he pecked Rya’s cheek and then they talked about random things, just cuddling on the bed, before they naturally fell asleep.

n…

nThe night went on uneventful, for the first six or so hours at least, when the clock hit the fifth hour past midnight, Aster suddenly opened his eyes in the outside world, even before the person at the other side of the door of the room knocked, he gently placed Kana next to him and got up the bed, making sure she stayed asleep.

nMylene and Camila on the other hand woke up almost at the same time as him, and they were already fully dressed and holding their respective weapons, a halberd and a spear to be more accurate.

n“You two also felt that?”, asked Aster as he put his clothes too.

n“Mm”.

n“Yes, it seems the heavens had decided to do me a favor by taking the culprit of what happened to the moon of this place, all the way here~”.

nAster chuckled seeing Mylene ready to rain hell down whoever messed up with the moon of the secret realm, he walked towards the door and opened revealing Ixas who was standing outside of the room.

n“Sorry to… interrupt your sleep, but we have a small trouble in our hands, some of those guys have somehow tracked down this area, but in an ironic twist they were followed and now a three-way battle is breaking loose above us, stirring up chaos”.

n“We are officially in an alliance so I wanted to listen to your opinion about how to react, from my point of view we should fight them as the Emerald Whirlwind won’t take in anyone who cowers, or runs from fights on a regular basis”.

nAster looked at the roof of the underground village, his eyes glowed with golden light as he used his updated spirit sense, to bypass Ixas’s spirit formations, reaching the surface in a couple of seconds.

nThere he saw three different parties engaging in a battle, all of them consisted in two people, a Mortal Transcending realm and a Genesis Manifestation each.

nThat being said, the Genesis Manifestation cultivators stayed out of the quarrel, which consisted in three flashes of light of different colors clashing against each other.

n“Why the hell are you two crazy bitches getting in my way!”, the first flash of light had a lime yellow tone, which faded to reveal a girl in her middle twenties with light yellow

/green hair, and a white long dress, her skin was incredibly pale too, having an unhealthy tone added to it, similar to what Vivian had before Aster treated her with Rigel’s flames.

n“Piss off, weren’t you so fixated in getting the Emerald Whirlwind, then why are you following my pretty ass all the way here?” the second flash had a bright orange glow with some yellow tones here and there, which illuminated the night, when the glow faded it revealed a girl in her 18’s, long red hair with orange strands mixed, she was wearing a red and black top and a skirt over spats.

n“Humph, you vulgar women”, the third and last, was a woman wearing a blue dress with white feathers decorating some parts of it, she had blond hair and had her eyes closed, besides that she seemed to be in her early twenties, older than the second one but younger the first one.

nThe first of the three felt a vein popping on her neck, as she said.

n“We agreed to not cross each other’s territory, this is a family feud, so go play rivals somewhere else!”.

n“I don’t want to, what are you going to do about it, you should fix that short temper of yours, if you don’t want to end up like an old bitter spinster~”, the redhead girl stuck her tongue at the green haired one and mocked her.

n“Annoying”, the third girl softly snorted.

nAster raised an eyebrow at this “battle” that kept ongoing for the next ten minutes, before the three women started physically fighting again, but it wasn’t the clever comebacks of the redhead girl, or the cold attitude of the blind girl what got his attention, it was the first girl the one that caught him of guard.

nBut not for a good reason, but because she had a certain resemblance… to Sarina.

n“So, it wasn’t a soul constitution bearer, the question now is mother’ side or father’s side, Aurelian came from a Heavenly Quadrant which mom haven’t heard about, so I would say it comes from that side”, mumbled Aster.

nBut Mylene who heard him, doubted for a split of a second before saying.

n“That woman isn’t from a mortal realm, in fact none of the three, I can tell just by looking, it’s just that she is too young and her realm is pretty low”.

nIxas was first surprised seeing that Aster was able to sense what was happening outside, but he shrugged it of remembering how he was leading such an incredible group.

n‘It would be weird if he isn’t capable of at least this I guess’, he thought before saying.𝑜𝚟𝑙𝐞xt.𝔠𝑜𝑀

n“The one with green hair is none other than the white witch, as for the other two this might be the first time I see them, but I can tell they were the ones that corrupted the sun and the moon of this secret realm”.

nMylene softly gritted her teeth, with an annoyed expression on her face.

n“It was that bratty girl the one that messed up with the moon”, she mumbled.

nAster chuckled, before he got serious, they know the overall place where we are, so it would only be a pain in the ass if thy gets trapped.

n“Ixas, can you hold more than one of those guys?”, asked Aster, on paper Ixas was really strong, especially since he wasn’t cultivating right now, but instead was recovering what he had once.

n“Yeah, in fact I can take the three of them alone, do you have a plan?”.

nAster nodded.

n“Yes, you distract the Genesis Manifestation cultivators, what I want is to have little “chat” with that green haired woman, since she seemed to somehow be related to Sarina.

n“You two can handle those two girls, right?”.

n“Mm”, both Mylene and Camila nodded, and they prepared to join the battle, before they all flew towards the roof of the underground city, followed by Ixas.

nAster waved his hand and a golden light cladded Kana and the whole room in general, although the underground village had a decent protection, one can never be too cautious, and he didn’t want to wake her up, since she was pretty tired after the whole travel and her cultivation session.

nAfter doing that he also flew towards the roof and Ixas used his authority over this piece of land, to open up a path for them.

nA piece of the rock formation opened and they came out of it, only then the three women who were still arguing and fighting with each other stopped in cold.

nThe green haired woman was the first one to react, she pointed at Aster before saying.

n“So, you were hiding here indeed, mortal, hurry up and hand over that little bastard girl, descendant of the traitor!”.

nAster frowned, if that woman was related to Sarina, she didn’t appear to be so, but then it was good for him.

n‘My Sarina is unique’, he thought as he craned his neck, the golden armor of the paragon body cladded him, giving him a majestic aura.

nThe green haired woman coldly snorted; her body lit up in green light as she became a flash of light that shot towards Aster.

n“Booom!”, both a green flash and a golden flash clashed in the air, creating a huge shockwave and illuminating the sky due to their impact.

nThe eyes of the redhead girl had a strange glow flashing on them, as she looked at the now golden cladded Aster, but before she could do whatever she was about to do, Mylene appeared in front of her.

n“Interfering in other people’s fights it’s quite rude, let me teach you a little lesson in your parent’s stead little girl”.

nThe redhead girl giggled, as she put on a pair of black and red gloves.

n“Why are you acting all upright when you haven’t had a boyfriend yet miss, besides some years added, you aren’t more mature than me~”.

nMylene nearly choked, her cheeks were a little flustered as she let out her divine pressure leak out of her body.

nOrange flames covered the body of the redhead girl as she stuck her tongue at Mylene, as a pendant hanging on her neck lit up, cancelling Mylene’s pressure.

n“I’m also from a higher firmament miss, bullying me isn’t so easy”.

nWhile Mylene was having a hard time trying not to go all out against a girl that clearly didn’t want to cause any harm, based on what she knew at least, Camila was actually in a real fight against the blond girl.

nHer silver and golden spear clashed against a black and blue scythe, but the latter didn’t stay in that form and instead flowed, before changing its shape to another weapon like a warhammer.

n“Humph”, the blond woman saw the weapon of native from a mortal plane, resisting the corrosive effect of her black water and she snorted, as she stole a gaze at the moon.

n‘If only that annoying brat didn’t mess up with the moon, my strength wouldn’t have reduced so much’, she thought a she kept clashing with Camila.

nCamila on the other hand was surprised to see how easy it was for her to follow up with the blond woman, although the both of them were early-stage Mortal Transcending cultivators, she could tell the other party broke through a long time ago.

nShe saw the silver spear radiating a mix of silver and golden light that covered her, giving her a soothing comfortable feeling.

n‘It’s as if you were fighting by my side the whole time’, she thought before her eyes became serious, the spear then shone and with a thrust she was able to disperse the black water weapon completely.

n“Don’t underestimate mortals”, mumbled Camila, before they continued with their fight.
