Before Minx was brought to et the Ineffable Pantheon, the others took her on a tour to explore and take in all of Pantheos.
As before, they were simply trying to keep her distracted without revealing anything too extraordinary.
anwhile, back in what would soon beco the Veloran Empire, Ash and Elysia were cozily snuggled against a tree, gazing at his status screen.

The adow around them felt peaceful once more, the grass swaying gently as if in quiet agreent with his decision.
Ash closed the status, leaning back against the tree as he processed everything.
His reddish-purple eyes glimred with quiet calculation.
"The next steps forward..." he murmured.
"Nia and Ouroboros are already taking care of the last remaining Realities. With Kagami and Kaguya preparing the Pri Expanse, my only focus now is to fully traverse the ta Road."
And that ant he had to cultivate each of the ten boundless stars to completion.
Many assud he could manage it with the snap of his fingers... and, truthfully, he could. But where would the fun be in that?
First, though, there were a few pawns who had finally outlived their usefulness, and he intended to deal with them before moving on.
He raised his hand, sending a silent ssage through the bond to Klaus, who had been trailing Male and the rchant since the Grand Ball.
"Eliminate them both the mont the little tournant ends."
The ssage was simple, cold, and final.
The rchant was only alive because of her connection to Male, soone Ash only kept around until he spilled information about the Father.
Ash didn’t care about the idea of him being a counterpart or anything else.
In the end, though, he learned more about both the Mother and the Father than he ever did through Male.
So, there was no reason to let the guy live any longer. If he didn’t die now, he’d inevitably be swept away by the chain of events that were bound to co.
Ash then stood up, brushing off his clothes as he approached Emma, who was steadily climbing the fourth and final level of her trials.
The young world weaver was focused, her hands weaving new things into the floating platforms as she pushed herself to the limit.
Sweat glistened on her brow, but her eyes burned with determination.
Ash stopped at the base of the final level, looking up at her with a small, approving smile.
"You’re doing better than I thought," he called out, his voice calm and encouraging.
"Once you finish with the level.... the true training begins."

Deep within the Layers of existence, hidden in a self-created void of pure white silence, Klaus waited.
Much like his mother, Raven, he now bore pure white hair and eyes to match, their depths holding an endless, patient calm.
As the God of Eternal Voids, his presence was almost imperceptible — flawlessly hidden, rging seamlessly with the very fabric of the void he had crafted for himself.
Since the Grand Ball, he had been shadowing Male and the rchant, never once losing track of them, even as they journeyed deep into the heart of Nonexistence.
Currently, they were in the Coliseum — the grand arena beyond the True Realities where the final selection would take place.
The massive structure floated in the void, its stands filled with powerful beings from both sides, all waiting for the last champions to arrive.
Klaus watched every movent with laidback patience, his white eyes tracking Male and the rchant as they stood among the other participants.
He completely tuned out Nihil, the one who had accompanied them, treating the ancient entity as little more than background noise.
A ssage from Ash appeared in his mind — clear and final.
"Eliminate them both the mont the little tournant ends."
Klaus nodded once, a faint, relaxed smile touching his lips.
"Finally," he murmured to himself, his voice soft and almost bored. "I was starting to get bored."
His gaze then shifted toward the Watchers — the ancient guardians of the boundary.
One was the familiar snowy-white owl Ash and the Pantheon knew well.
The other was starkly different — a darker, more ominous owl with feathers that seed to absorb light, its eyes glowing with a colder, more primal intelligence.
Klaus tilted his head slightly, his voice calm and unhurried as he mused aloud.
He hadn’t spent much ti in the coliseum, just a month or so, yet the Watchers had shown up not long after his arrival.
"Should I go over and say hello? It’s been a while since I last saw the old bird... and the new one certainly seems intriguing."
Truthfully, he had no idea what Ash’s plan was after disposing of Male and the rchant, and he was nothing like his brothers.
He had no interest in causing chaos or chasing after countless won.
Still, he was Ash’s son, after all... And really, how boring would it be to just trail soone without doing anything else?
"Hmm, a simple hello won’t ruin anything," he murmured, and in the next mont, he vanished.
