Arthur stood in his place watching his other self pausing in midair. He knew it was the moment when he considered his next move against such a gigantic enemy... That cloud!
Then portals appeared and the group of thousand mechas appeared next. They were supposed to be the ones to test the cloud and give him insights of what was going on there.
Then the leader appeared and shouted, challenging him to enter the cloud.
"It's time!" Arthur clenched his fists while watching two silhouettes appearing before they were thrown in the middle of the cloud.
"Now!"
Arthur didn't hesitate to shout at Gege. He knew for sure she was now watching and paying attention just like him. Yet he wasn't that calm to watch without saying anything.
The two bodies vanished inside the cloud, making his heart clench out of stress.
"Gege... Tell me you got them!"
Gege took a few moments before she answered him. For Arthur these seconds seemed like a century out of his anxiety.
'They are rescued,' she finally said the good news, 'but...'
"But what?" Arthur didn't hesitate to fly as fast as he could out of here. He flew directly towards his garden world. "Why are they?" he said, yet Gege seemed a bit hesitant to say.
'This... There is something you need to know first,' she said after a long pause.
"Not now!" Arthur didn't wait for her to tell him. He closed his eyes and started scanning the entire garden looking for them.
And he finally found the two.
"This..." yet he slowly opened his eyes while a cold flash of blue light appeared from his eyes. "I can't believe they dare to play me for a fool there!"
He clenched his fists and even roared out of anger. The two girls who were thrown in the middle of the cloud weren't his.
They were simply two normal mages from the higher realm.
'I'll take them to prison,' Gege slowly said.
"I wanna know everything they know," Arthur ruthlessly said, "use every means you have... I want them to confess everything."
'Leave this to me,' Gege said.
"Also that b*tch... torture her until she confesses," Arthur was so enraged that he didn't care about anything for now. He decided to torture Mera, the silver dragonair he had since long time ago. "I want everything she knows... Everything!"
Gege knew he was so enraged at the moment so she spared herself any useless argument. 'Alright,' she simply said despite lacking any intention of doing what he wanted.
"What about that army?" Arthur asked before he turned around and instantly flew back inside the tree world.
The screen there was still lit up and showed the scenes happening outside. Arthur was now fighting against those flying mages and monsters before he got engulfed by the cloud.
He saw himself entering the cloud with high hopes of finding Iman and Noura. Yet he knew now this was only a foolish dream of his.
He wouldn't find them anywhere there, and that was because they never left this world to begin with.
"Aemie... I owe you one," he slowly said while watching the leader of the enemy forces leading his men towards the gigantic cloud.
Then the entire cloud started to fade away like it wasn't there in the first place.
If not for Aemie's unexpected help with this time travel thing he would end up regretting losing his two girls.
And now he got a chance to repay what he faced double, or even triple.
"Take me out," he didn't hesitate to waste anymore time standing here. The cloud was gone by now alongside all the enemies who came securing it.
And now all that remained was the massive ground army marching at the sect by now, besides the traitor inside the sect.
"Jim... just wait," Arthur appeared in midair before he turned around. He felt so bitter about what happened to him here. "I swear to get you back," he clenched his fists and then started to fly towards the direction of the sect.
"Bring me Doaf and Amera now," as he started flying his mind kept itself busy thinking about the next step.
And no matter how he thought about it, he just wanted to go directly towards the sect and exterminate that traitor leader of it in front of everyone.
He was very angry, and yet he still knew this would be a bad move.
The traitor he found was the leader of the sect, someone everyone respected and never doubted.
He didn't know how Jim kept himself aloof from suspicion all this time, but that also meant he wasn't an easy man to handle.
The only way to get rid of him was to use this war and expose him. Yet that also meant he had to risk losing all the defenses of the sect for a period of time.
And that was when Doaf and Amera's role came to picture.
"What happened?"
The moment the two appeared, Amera turned around and asked with interest. She seemed to know something, or felt what Aemie did.
"We are back, right?" Doaf also seemed a bit skeptical as he first turned around and made sure this was the same low world he was in before leaving.
"Aemie gave us a hand," Arthur said before shortly explaining everything to the two.
"Damn!" Amera couldn't help but curse out loud, "why didn't you call all of us out? We could have killed them by our new forces."
Arthur gave her a deep look before asking:
"Do you trust these forces?"
His sudden question startled Amera for a brief moment. "Plus we can't risk changing anything from the past," he added before she could speak and say anything in defense.
In fact he didn't care about Aemie's motive right now. All he wanted was to get his revenge over those bastards before wrecking the entire world upside down and look for his missing girls.
He also planned to annex this world for himself for good. He knew the main battle wasn't here, but up there at the highest worlds.
To get there he needed ten worlds to be under his control, plus his academy.
