Across the Milky Way, in a religious building that had turned quite silent to this point, Aderlard appeared, gasping for breath.
This location was none other than the abandoned Shrine of the Evergreen Religion and had once been their main base of operations. Ieme, in all his ambitions, had chosen to uproot them completely and move everything to EarthX1.
If the bet worked out, there was no doubt that there would be a great boon to take advantage of. However, even Arderlard couldn't have imagined that the Earthlings would be so powerful. At first, he thought that the only anomaly was Leonel, but he realized that without showing his hidden trump cards, he had no chance to defeat Arnold either.
He realized then that he had made a grave mistake. He had been so worried about the other religions come to encroach of the Evergreen Goddess' territory that he hadn't even considered the idea that Earth would fight back.
