Archduke Astralia seems to ponder a bit but eventually answered.
"If that were to be case then...."
He pause but then smiled as he continue.
"According to the Association they will try to track the souls of each deceased enemies since most of them are still stuck at the world tree, they haven't enter the cycle yet so its easy to take them out though by doing so we will do so risky choices, choices that we wont hesitate to do so"
A sudden mory ca to Apollo since he once did what the archduke ntioned.
"Wasn't there a ti fra were such spell can be used?"
"Was there? I am not an expert but according to I heard from the president and from the head of the tower,they will extract the soul of anyone as long as they haven't cross yet"
Lucius looked confident, unbothered by the possibility of failing.
"Please do not give that look demon, although I am not knowledgeable enough if your existed is possible, the power of the empire is out sothing you should underestimate. We have the history of thousands of years. That alone is already testant on how powerful we have beco now. So cast your doubts and kust observe the result that is about to co"

Back on the dorm Alicia told Apollo that she would et with the emperor.
"You should et your grandpa, he should provide you with the information that you wanted"
Apollo just nodded however before he could even call he received a ssages from the mages of the tower and from his grandfather Alger.
[It seems you don't need to ask for it, Creator]
'Yeeah it does seems to"
In one of the notifications he have a two line ssage attracted his attention.
{We received orders, its interesting co to the tower. If you want I am not forcing you.
-Grandpa Alger}
Apollo couldn't help but shake his head finding it troubleso how his grandpa constructed his ssage.
"He is still bad at ssaging" he mutters as he read more of his notification but as he stroll down he noticed a certain soone.
"Old man just ssaged , that's odd did sothing happen in the imperial palace"
Alard that imprisonnt of Nero gone wrong he imdiately opened his ssage.
{When you encounter Nero what did he say to you, or does he looked at you weirdly?}
"What? That was unexpected"
Without much thought he reply.
{He said sothing about a teacher or more like that}
{Teacher?}
{Yes, he thought I was his teacher and he greeted with quite affection}
{Okay I will report this, make sure not to leave the academy}
Apollo didn't reply imdiately since he already plans to head to the tower.
{Can't do on my way to the tower}
{Okay report to if things didnt go well}
"Affirmative"
He replied after that he recheck his notification if ever he miss any ssages once he does he command the authority of space to take him to the tower.

''You are here already" Alger welco Apollo with a smile along with a warm hug accompany by a forehead kiss. Apollo welco it happily sine he had miss the warmth of the person who stood as his grandfather
"So what kind of research are we dealing now?" The boy asked despite already knowing the contents of thier study.
"Well co here child I will tell you" Alger beckon Apollo to approach him, the boy nodded and imdiately took his hand that lead him to the underground research facility of the tower, and there he saw the largest scale experintation ead by the two prominent figures in magic, the Association and the Tower.
"Now then Apollo let us start, I can rely on you right?"
A smile form on the boy's lips as he answer, "Of course!"
In a blink of an eye days went by and Nero's execution was announced, and right in front of the people he was killed.
"He is very calm"
"Are you worried?"
Alicia asked knowing the aning of Apollo's expression.
"I am worried"
"But you are prepared after all you have analyze the thod Nero was trying to do to reincarnate, and if you want to you can pay a visit to him in the world tree"
"The world tree....." Apollo suddenly mutters as if he is thinking of sothing.
"Everything goes and enters the cycle, they enter the world tree...it ans everyone is a reincarnatior since all of us enters the cycle of reincarnation. Then what makes the reincarnator different?"Apollo suddenly has a question sothing he should have thought before.
"Its mories"
"What?"
"Its the mory that makes the difference, just like you said Apollo everyone enters the cycle but all of those souls lose their mories as an act of cleansing. This cleaning is one of the few things that is required for the souls to be rid of all thier negative energy that they have accumulated from thier life. It is also a way to cut off thier connection to thier previous life since they are about to live another one"
"Wait so you are telling now that the reincarnator may actually be soone who could bypass the cleansing process or..." Apollo went silent not liking his late realization.
"or he never need to go to the world tree to begin with" Alicia continue looking nonchalant as ever.
"And you just telling this now!"
"Hmm?....you are the one who told there is nothing for help with since the Tower had enough knowledge and equipnt for the research. I thought you already know this"
"I didn't! Our findings were all based on the world tree. If the reincarnator is indeed not needing to the enter world tree to enter the cycle then we wont be able to track down whoever this reincarnator!"
"Be cal Apollo no need to panic"
"Why not! And why are you so calm about this!"
"Because Nero is the reincarnator"
"And if he is?"
"If he is then we can find him"
"How?"
This ti Alicia looked at Apollo as if he is stupid.
"What?"
[Creator] Jeremiah suddenly spoke earning Apollo's attention.
"Yes Jeremiah"
[Creator you might forgotten sothing]
"And that is?"
[The tracker]
"Your tracker Apollo"
Then suddenly it hit him, "Ah right"
"Right"
[Right]
Apollo couldn't help but face palm. Due to the research he conducted in the tower he had forgotten that he once put a tracker on Nero.
"Right I put it in his soul"
Alicia just nodded, Apollo once about to asked her sothing when suddenly Apollo's communicator vibrateed.
"Let answer this first"
Alicia just nodded again watching the end of the execution in the intercom, along with the other seniors.
Apollo who imdiately left the dorm stood on one of the trees in the forest and look at one of the ssages.
{Little sun return here imdiately so changes are happening at the clones made by Nero} Gavin ssage hurriedly Apollo teleported away to see what is happening at the tower.
As soon as he arrived the glass cylinders that is embedded with a magic circle glow as well as the liquid in it.
Apollo worried imdiately ask Jeremiah.
"Tell where is Nero"
[He is... floating]
"Floating? Coordinates where is he?"
[Creator he is floating among the other souls that is headed to the world tree]
"Wait he is? Then does that an Alicia was wrong a while ago? But she never been wrong before" Apollo was making speculation but knowing Nero he must have plan sothing ahead if he ever lets himself be caught.
"We should observe first, Jeremiah update of Nero's location. I want to know if he ever crossses normally or he does sothing strange"
[Affirmative Creator]
The lab was filled with light as Nero's glass tanks bath in strange light.
"This is one of the phenonon we have recorded, once the magic circle activited it ans that the reincarnator will descent from one of the bodies we have here" Gavin said as he prepared to manipulate the body that will serve as a vessel.
"Was Nero really the one we are looking for" Apollo kept on thinking until the light disappear from the tanks and everything suddenly went to normal.
"Wha the hell did sothing go wrong?"
Liam and the rest of the mages from different towers arrived.
"Did sothing failed?" Sonya wonder, since she is more verse in offensive and black magic she had no idea of what's happening. Magical technology is the mastery of the Blue moon tower.
"Hey Carlo what's going on?'"
"I will check sir Arthur please wait a mont"
The mages of the Association were also confused but amongst them only Apollo was calm.
"No souls are approaching right? Or forming in any kind of connection to the tanks"
[None has of this mont]
"Keep an eye on all the bodies, I want to know if very a soul tries to approach or make a connection"
[I will Creator]
After giving all those commands Apollo decided to leave, he first told the mages of the Tower that he is retuning to the academy they all happily wave to say goodbye.
"We will give so updates later on" Gavin just said and Apollo smiled back to him before finally summoning the authority of space to return to the academy.
