"Lord Middle, I come to bring you the mission report."

Middle, one of the Order members, occupied a small mansion on a small island floating from nowhere.

"..."

After a brief silence, a male voice roared in the mansion.

"I'm listening to you." He ordered.

-Gulp!

The messenger kneeling in front of the door has chilled after hearing the static voice of her superior.

She's a demon with a look similar to Sofia's; she has two small horns on her temples, blood-red eyes, and two draconian wings on her back.

The mansion where she was currently was occupied by one of the highest-ranking members of the Supreme Council, Senior Middle.

Apart from him, three other members left as a sequel, Thumb, Index, and Ring.

Pinky was none other than Feyre, but since she abandoned her position to pursue her path of knowledge, her position is still vacant.

And apart from them, they have their supreme leader who represents the Hand.

"Do I have to repeat myself?" Middle’s monotonous voice awakened his subordinate, who had a sweaty body, despite being an intermediate transcendent of the same rank as Yasmine (Rennia) and Reha.

"The troops you had sent to exterminate Kayre's subordinates were exterminated, leaving only one survivor, the commander." She stammered this sentence.

But against all odds, Middle was silent as he slightly chuckled as if he expected a similar result.

The girl did not dare to interrupt him; she remained on her kneel even though three minutes had passed since she delivered the message.

To each their own way of establishing the hierarchy, the head members of the order are five, and each pillar represents a finger. Thumb being the strongest and the Pinky the weakest.

That being said, Feyre's power is not negligible since she is a high-ranking transcendent. And just like Feyre, they have their names.

After ten minutes of listening to the unpleasant laughter of her superior, the demon girl sighed with relief when she heard his next order.

"Leave." He whispers coldly as his aura makes the whole island tremble as if it were to collapse on him.

The girl did not spend a second longer on the island before her silhouette vanished.

After an additional minute of silence, Middle spoke in a static voice,

"What's on your side, Thumb?"

The interior of the small mansion turned out to be as large as the castle of Alvine on the planet of Faydja.

But the most remarkable thing was to see the holograms of the people who were with him in his lonely castle.

The three of the four golden crystals around the round table displayed the other council members' silhouettes.

It was evident that the others heard the demon girl's report, hence their silence.

And since they all wore masks with numbers ranging from one to four, it was easy to identify their ranks.

The question that Middle had just asked Thumb remained temporarily unanswered.

"Shall I understand that you also failed in the mission?" Middle asked in a suspicious voice.

Even if his face was not visible under a mask that had two black features in the middle of the golden sun, his light golden eyes shone with a strange excitement in them.

Seeing his impatience, the man with two features on his mask giggled strangely but did not comment.

"Index! Do you think it's funny!?" Ring growled with warm blood.

Her three thin horns and her soft voice, despite her frustration, said everything about her sex.

And just like her, Thumb, silent from the beginning, didn't need to express herself to understand that she was also a woman.

The two balloons inflated on her chest were more than enough proof.

After Ring's rage, Thumb scraped her throat and spoke disdainfully.

"You're wrong to underestimate this guy. Even though my subordinate had my tiara with him, his prey could still escape from my prison." She explains briefly.

-!

And unlike her, the others were not as calm as she was.

Index, which found his two colleagues' failure funny, stopped laughing, and his golden pupils became cold.

He was not the only one to have this golden glow in his eyes; all four had golden pupils, to wonder if it was natural or due to their powers.

"Is your information correct?" The suspicion was perceptible in the tone of the Index when he asked Thumb this question.

The latter remained silent before her eyes became cold under her mask.

"Are you insinuating that I'm lying?" Her voice also became cold without losing its nobility.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Middle's castle became electrifying.

"Ahem, it's not the time to debate this subject; I doubt Senior Thumb will lie to us since she has nothing to draw from it." Middle intervenes to soothe their anger.

He then continued after seeing the two gradually calm down. "It leads me to ask one thing, does this guy restore his powers?"

"I don't know. According to what my subordinate told me, he would be possessed by one of his monarchs. These bloodthirsty beings that we had sealed to stop the chaos they sowed in their passages." Thumb explains briefly.

But Middle and the others were not convinced by this version.

"What did you conclude? You believe that such a powerful entity may be able to be influenced by--

Before Index finished his sentence, he was interrupted by Thumb. "I don't think so. He may be weakened, but his soul remains what it was. Just like me, you felt the familiar energy that we had not felt since his disappearance; even if it's weak, it's still present. That leads me to say he's probably awake but no more."

"..."

After a minute of silence to allow everyone to organize their ideas, Ring scraped her throat and looked at everyone in turn.

"Should we warn Hand?" She asked in a dull voice.

"No, the situation is not as urgent. He was stronger than us then, but thousands of centuries have passed since then. And unlike him, we're no longer what we were then. Even if he's at the maximum level of his strength, he can no longer do anything against all of us together, not to mention that we have ten times more subordinates than before." Middle answers in a stoic voice.

But unlike him, Thumb did not have the same certainty.

"You're wrong; unlike you, I directly faced this bastard in a real battle. And the result was disappointing." She thought out loud.

The others looked at her, waiting for explanations from her even if they had heard her report at the time.

"...While I was fighting with all my being, attacking him with all my power, he had not suffered a single scratch, although he did nothing to counter my attacks, not even a simple shield to protect himself." She continued feeling the ghost of the past haunt her again.

'Even with time, I still can't control my fear. He's one of the worst monsters!' She murmured herself, unconsciously shivering as she recalled a distant past.

Seeing her overwhelmed by her past, the others sighed when they saw the strongest being after their supreme leader. Index then spoke: "...It's not that we don't believe you, but if his power was so imposing, how did you survive?" He frowns under a mask with a skeptical tone.

"I couldn't flee; he disinterested me after noticing my power, which he had described as insignificant." She retorted in an unworthy and hateful voice.

While everyone remained speechless in the face of Thumb's unexpected answer, she immersed herself in her thoughts.

'This son of a bitch had chased me no matter where I went; he was like my shadow that followed me everywhere. It was so natural for him that I had finally been desperate to save my skin. And it was by seeing that I gave up all hope that he left me behind like garbage that didn't deserve to be killed by him. I wouldn't erase this shame until I had his head!' She clenches her fists to the point the others can hear her bones crack through transmission.

"So...Ahem, I think this guy's threat is not negligible. Let us get involved now before he becomes more powerful than he's now." Middle whispered these words with a restless heart.

"...U-Um, we were waiting for him to be powerful enough to capture him and research the evolutionary seeds that he's the only one, to our knowledge, able to create them. But currently, his power is more than enough to do it." Index also changes his mind with worrying eyes.

"Indeed, I have nothing against this proposal." Ring dared not protest when she noticed Thumb's gaze on her.

'She's scary. What kind of monster is this Kayre to scare such a monster? He's a threat beyond our estimates that must never reach the thresholds of his power. I would make sure to prevent it at all costs!' She then murmured.

'Despite thousands of years, Thumb has not regressed from her rank, proving her power is colossal. I don't even need our leader's order to know that she's stronger than me. And seeing this serious look on her face, this guy mustn't be imprisoned but exterminated. I should have captured him instead of hiding that I had discovered his existence rather than expected.' Index also had his dark thoughts.

The exact reflection took place in Middle's head during that time.

--

'It's crazy how motivated they are. It's the first time I've seen them so energetic.' Meanwhile, Alvine, who had just completed the distribution of tasks, was not aware of the threat that was about to follow him even in the depths of the abyss.

After dictating Greed and Heepha's role, he gave tasks to Luna and the others.

Darka and Luna will assist in training the generals, who will temporarily form a squad guided by them to gain experience on the ground.

Thus, The generals (Britannia, Fyora, Barade, and Myulan) and Henia left with Luna and Darka to the forest to learn more about the creatures that inhabited the place while taking advantage of this outing to strengthen their powers.

And given the dangerousness of the planet and the lack of information that Alvine and the others had, he ordered Linn and Assiaphir to accompany them just in case they encountered creatures beyond their powers.

'With Linn's spatial power and Assiaphir's spiritual power, they shouldn't have problems. In addition, Assiaphir must train to progress and understand more what she's capable of since she became primordial.' Alvine murmured, frowning slightly towards them.

After that, he focused on Shadow,

"Shadow, your role will be to help your subordinates regain their dating powers." He explains briefly.

Now that Heepha was no longer there, Shadow didn't try to play his cool.

"My lord, I and my subordinates can regain our full power; but we must--

"I know what you're talking about, but we don't have enough time to take such measures." Alvine interrupts him before he finishes his sentence.

'Currently, I have five evolutionary seeds that the ring's spirit had kept in the ring dimension. But it's too less to help everyone. In addition, I must also reach at least the transcendent rank to be able to revoke the twins' seal. And even if I reach this rank by absorbing the energy of these seeds, I don't know in what state these troublemakers will be. But there's more urgency.' He focused on Zakiel with complex eyes.

'Among all the others, he's the only one who regressed the most. I knew he was special, but now it's the biggest news I expected.'

"Zakiel, take this and wait for me in the throne room; I will assist you afterward so that you regain your rank as general-in-chief."
