In the meeting room, Admiral Rudra talked with the Division Heads, Vice-heads, and Krala.
The other who were chosen to participate were also sitting around the table at various distances.
“Do you think there’s a chance they are plotting something against us?” Admiral Rudra asked as he glanced at the fingers.
“My guts tell me they do have some other motive aside from just sharing this opportunity with us,” Liam Sunbreak said as he narrowed his eyes. “But should we confirm if such a chaotic dimension really exists?”
“Yeah, I planned to do that first,” Admiral Rudra nodded and took out a crystal resembling a cat’s paw.
“Big Dean, can we get a confirmation on the existence of the deal that was brought to us by the Trelfjor clan?”
From the crystal, Big D’s voice rang out, clear and crisp. “Yes, it does exist, and he also didn’t hide anything regarding the governing laws.”
“However, I can tell you with certainty that they do have less than good intentions for this collab. Whether you guys are up to the fight or not depends on you.”
“If you guys go, the resources would be worth it for sure, but death won’t be a dream anymore now that Almond is not present to revive anyone.”
Silence ensued briefly before Arjun said, “What do you think would Almond and Lily do? It’s not really a question. They’d grab this opportunity and win it over.”
“They work hardest and progress fastest. Their drive is otherworldly. They are the backbones of the House of Regalon,” Arjun’s eyes blazed. “So we must also show the spirit of Regalon. The opportunity is there, the resources are waiting, and the laws are clear.”
“We can play and win. Or we can give up and lose.”
Suddenly, everyone on the top floor of the tower saw a powerful presence coming.
Shortly, a blob of darkness entered the hall before transforming into a mini black dragon.
“I just found out about this and came here. Y’all can’t stop me from entering this juicy expedition. Count me in, babies! Bwahahaha.”
“Mhmm, your addition will strengthen us more,” Krala nodded with a faint smile.
Kexell snorted at Krala. “I will defeat you eventually, just wait.”
“Good luck,” Krala chuckled.
“Well, it looks like there’s no need to dwell on this further,” Bianca said with a sharp smile. “House of Regalon will go and win what’s theirs.”
“That’s given,” Liang said with a grin. “Anyone who loses the fight and shit on the face that House of Regalon had acquired thanks to Almond and Lily is not fit to be a Regalon.”
“Choose your battles and if the Trelfjor clan really have a scheme, we don’t need to risk our lives. They might have a way to boost individual prowess that could surpass ours. In that case, you don’t need to court death, but don’t give up until you have exhausted all means and possibilities of turning the tables,” Arjun said.
The High-mortals and other Regalons nodded.
Natalia and the five others who had reached Immortal-rank looked at each other.
‘We have to fucking train. The resources of the chaotic dimension can help us improve, so we will fight, improve, and continue. If Almond and Lily can train fast, we should also push ourselves and reach the peak of Immortal in that dimension since we are getting enough resources to do it,’ Kira said with blazing determination. ‘We have to win all fights!’
‘Humph, I am going to kill anyone who loses,’ Natalia snorted.
‘And I will kill you if you lose,’ Marcus snickered.
‘Sure. But I am not going to give up. We even have a second Bloodline ability that’s powerful, and we can also ramp up our Regalon Spirit Armament there while all of us still have big stock thanks to the Griminion Tide. If we lose against people of the same rank, while Almond and Lily beat the shit of the top Emperors, we should just die.’
‘Nat is fired up.’ Maya smiled, relaying to the rest of the Grim Breakers. ‘You all are listening, right? Prepare to die if you lose.’
…
Regalons were ready and raring. While the few Regalons checked up on the defense and the other workings of Earth that Astra Ai and Neo would have to handle while they were gone, the other Regalons didn’t even waste time and were either sparring or training after the meeting in the top floor of the tower.
Of course, there wasn’t any need for defense in the first place. Nobody was stupid enough to mess with their Planets anymore. If they did, everyone knew what would the result be.
This also applied to the top clans. Having enmity of those two prodigious powerhouses was signing their death warrant.
What they wanted was to put the House of Regalon under them, not against them.
And in the coming expedition into the chaotic dimension in 48th Cosmos, whether the scheme and preparation of the Trelfjor clan would succeed in causing justified deaths to as many Regalons as possible or the fighting spirit of Regalon would drive them to break all the schemes and achieve dominant victory, only the future would tell.
As the night went by, and day arrived, sixteen hours passed.
There wasn’t any need to delay anymore, so the Regalons departed.
And when they departed, the Trelfjor clan dropped a drop.
“One more thing,” Jonar said with a smile. “I don’t think you’d have any problem with this considering the message Almond and Lily sent by making an example of the Darton Blaze clan.”
“What is it?” Admiral Rudra asked calmly.
“We will have one person from Arcadia Spectrum coming with us as we have given her one slot. She will be an observer for the live streams that all over the second layer will spread for a bit of entertainment and bets.”
“Of course, we will be able to see the live-stream interface and betting amount, with the winner taking 10% of the betting amount with them.”
“Well, no harm in getting free Arcane Crystals,” Zauna said as she smiled.
Admiral Rudra internally snorted. ‘Let’s show the world that the House of Regalon is more than just Almond and Lily. If they think that, they are in for a world of pain.’
…
With the spaceship moving through portals, they arrived at the 48th Cosmos—Sandstorm Arterum.
This cosmos had strange sand that produced lightning, creating exotic storms of sand that crackled with colorful lightning.
But more often than not, these storms would gather together to become a focal point, creating a tear to summon an exotic phenomenon like a dungeon.
And in rare cases, it would also give an entrance to a chaotic dimension.
Big D could sweep almost all chaotic dimension entrances, even those from the top 10 cosmoses, but there were some cosmoses where he couldn’t sweep them.
48th cosmos was one of those, making them 3rd distributor of chaotic dimensions after Starry Horizon Academy and the ruling forces of the 15th cosmos, another cosmos out of Big D’s reach due to their cosmic laws interfering with his powers.
The top-class chaotic dimensions were those with governing laws, as they usually had high difficulty, rich resources, and strong Monsters.
But such chaotic dimensions were rare, and on top of each of them having a limited number of entries and one-time exploration, they were an invaluable commodity.
Big D had given Almond and Lily two entries to such chaotic dimensions, but he had a bound contract to mainly distribute those to the Big Ten clans while having his own quota to distribute according to his desire, which he usually gave to Almond and Lily along with other powerhouses who were his allies in the upcoming secret scheme he had been preparing.
‘Good luck, Regalons.’ Big D thought as he watched Regalons arrive at the phenomenon and enter the chaotic dimension’s entrance.
‘Now, let’s see just how far and schemy they’ve decided to get to teach Regalons a lesson,’ Big D’s eyes glinted.
Big D knew there was a scheme. Everyone knew, including Regalons. They just didn’t know what it was.
But the chaotic dimension was fair, with absolute obedience to its law. So it was purely a matter of individual combat power in this one.
As the Regalons and Trelfjor clan entered together in a smaller ship, the live screens spread by the media organizations lit up across the second layer as well as Arcadia Spectrum.
The user interface also appeared in everyone’s mind once they perceived the conceptual signal from the screens relayed by the top Supreme Emperor who had entered inside as an observer.
Naturally, the user interface was empty at the moment as no duels had started yet.
“So this is it, eh? Great,” Natalia said as she looked at the vast horizon of space floating with exotic bubbles of varying size, each one displaying hazy sceneries of different ruins.
Some looked highly advanced ruins, some exuded terrifying eerie vibes with some dark ritual-style ruins, some looked ancient, some looked scholarly, and there was also a twisted forest.
[Welcome to the Chaotic Dimension of Myriad Ruins.]
Everyone heard the will of the chaotic dimension as they entered.
[This is the first layer of the dimension. Once these seven ruins are cleared, with the clear condition being acquiring the Apex Sigil present in each ruin, everyone will move to the second layer to explore the single Apex Ruins for the extraordinary resources found inside. All the best.]
“The ruins are quite big, and all of us will enter into one and clear it first,” Joran said as he looked at the Regalons.
Behind him, the Trelfjor clan had people not just from their own clan, but also from others as they had people of multiple races, but some of them had particularly powerful auras and dangerous vibes.
Interestingly, Jonar was the only Immortal Emperor from the Trelfjor clan.
“Alright, which one are we entering first?” Admiral Rudra asked.
“Let’s enter that one first,” Jonar said as he pointed at a bubble, looking at the symbol texts above it that relayed the name to anyone who scanned it to perceive the intent.
“Ruins of the Fallen Aeon Stars.”
