Nial was fine leaving the Arcadia Realm when the Ancient Gate manifested behind him. It sucked him inside without leaving enough time to retrieve the darkness sphere that had formed from his ever-expanding darkness domain.
This was a big waste because the darkness sphere would have been exceptionally useful to cultivate in the future.
But some things couldn't be changed and crying behind the past was not something Nial did usually. He emerged on the other side of the Ancient Gate not long after he was sucked into it.
His range of perception detected the Grand Elder almost immediately and Nial appeared next to him in an instant.
"How was the last decade without me? I bet my two little Devils stirred some trouble, didn't they?" Nial teased lightly, just to receive a deadly glare.
The Grand Elder's feelings were mixed. He couldn't detect the cultivation rank of the young man anymore. That either meant Nial was able to conceal his cultivation rank perfectly, or that Nial's strength was equal, if not higher than his.
'Just how much did he progress in ten years?" The Grand Elder wondered. His frown deepened the longer he looked at Nial. He clearly recalled that Nial had only three pleted Mana Temple when he entered the Arcadia Realm. He also recalled that Nial's darkness shroud around the spaceship had been extremely good for absorbing Mana.
That was also why the Grand Elder had been pretty sure that Nial would be able to create two more, at most three new Mana Temples.
This was already very generous because most Originals required 50 years to create a single Darkness Temple. Nial was not normal. In fact, he was the least ordinary person the Grand Elder had ever seen. His Blazing Ruby Orbs were forces that had to be acknowledged as exceptionally powerful.
Millions of Beasts had attempted to destroy various Spaceships and newly constructed settlements in the Meteorfield but none of them survived the onslaught of the pyromantic blasts released from the Blazing Ruby Orbs. Even the beasts at the Trixor rank didn't dare to e too close after facing more than then pyromantic blasts in short succession.
That meant Nial's creations were even more valuable than the Grand Elder had presumed in the first place, and he was pretty sure that nobody his age was able to create such treasures no matter where one looked.
Nial never showed off that he was talented. He just demonstrated his power and talent when his persona was requested. That made it more difficult for the Grand Elder to analyze the type of person behind Nial and to find out how much of a threat the other side of the Meteorfield might bee in the future.
Since Nial had reached the other side, even if it was by accident, he was bound to find a way back home. The Grand Elder was also pretty sure that Nial would e back in the future after he returned home. After all, Nial had said himself that the Meteorfield was a treasure trove, a land of dangers and opportunities. He also said that the Demihumans' hieroglyphs and resources were valuable and things he may need in the future.
"Your 'little' Devils? They left to the Meteorfield and only e back to drain my wallet by eating WAY too much…" The Grand Elder grumbled, satisfied with the gains he made from the Blazing Ruby Orb, but still in pain because the price he had to pay was simply too expensive for him to feel calm and posed.
"It looks like they're ing back now," Nial just mumbled moving over to a different place where he wouldn't bother the Demihumans and others.
Nial was intrigued about Shadow's size and the full extent of his power. He had to find out how much more time he had to spend in this part of the Universe before Shadow could teleport him across the Meteorfield.
Nial was ready to spend a bunch of years researching the hieroglyphs of the Demihumans and get to know the other races in this part of the Universe. Meeting the other races was necessary because they might be in possession of knowledge, hieroglyphs, and resources the Demihumans didn't have.
Traveling around with Shadow would be easy and certainly faster than wasting years traveling through space with the Spaceships. That was something Nial understood the moment Shadow's humongous body appeared in front of him seemingly out of nowhere.
The Mutated Origin Leviathan youngling had teleported through space with the Devil Roc to appear in front of him. The Devil Roc shot straight at Nial, turning into darkness that infiltrated his body before it stayed inside the Heart of Darkness where he felt the most fortable.
Nial didn't expect the Devil Roc to have missed the Heart of Darkness that much. However, it made things a lot easier for the future sake.
"Looks like you've grown a bit, Shadow," He said, smiling lightly as he perceived the 25 kilometer long body of his most recently devilized Devil.
Shadow had always been humongous but Nial was pretty sure that the Devil's size would sooner or later turn into a problem. Yet, even if they were to turn into problems, Nial was actually looking forward to them.
It was an interesting change from the usual.
Shadow roared out loudly while bumping gently into Nial. This looked hilarious as Shadow's nostrils were already manyfold taller than Nial. It was near impossible for Shadow to fortably bump his head against Nial.
At least that was what Nial expected as he accepted his fate of getting flung through the surrounding area.
However, none of that happened as a small head began to rub against his cheeks.
Visualizing Shadow, the Origin Leviathan had turned into a tiny serpent that was not even three-meter-long
'Looks like you learned something from the Devil Roc…that makes things easier!'
