On the other side, Athena, Aeolus, and Artemis had already received the news of Apollo winning the war and the Chaosians' betrayal by Artemis' sources.
'How useless, they didn't buy us even a day's worth of time.' Aeolus cursed.
'Complaining won't help us with anything.' Athena narrowed her eyes, 'I am certain he will be arriving at the empire as soon as possible. We have to figure out how to deal with him.'
'I am starting to think that the paragon hasn't been hidden in the empire's grounds.' Aeolus remarked, 'How about we leave him to waste his time and resources searching for him? Even if he finds him, we will try to snatch him back.'
'That works too.' Artemis agreed.
They knew that Apollo's army had limited longevity due to its need for a constant supply of dark energy. The Vibronoxiuan Empire was extremely far from the ruins and it would take him months to arrive.
