Shadowslash knew that he might take a bit of time to return back to Gaia if he ever went through his plan, he could only try to make some backup plan in case if the other powers would have a hard time dealing with the outer world creatures.
Returning back to Gaia, he gathers the energy towards him, he then summoned one hundred thousand clones, all of them radiates Saint Rank aura, after doing this, Shadowslash felt lightheaded.
He nearly falls down, it's because he wasn't absorbing any energy, he directed them all to his clones, after doing this, Shadowslash heaved a sigh of relief before telling Leafinia and the rest of the Hope Family members currently on Gaia about his plan.
Of course such reckless action caused his family members to become worried about him, he had to pacify them multiple times and assuring them that he would return back to Gaia after the event passes by.
