The Scarlet King returned to Evernight after leaving everything in order with Dark Hand. Now that he controlled a Tier 1 Dark Faction, finding information about intercontinental teleportation formations to return to Gaia would be much easier.
Returning directly to his home was the primary path the Scarlet King wanted to take, but another option involved crossing the Narrow Sea to reach the Hyperion Continent, home of the Deus Bahamut Race.
If the Scarlet King reached the Deus Bahamut Race, he would not have to hide his identity and could request help from the Bahamut Titans. From there, getting to Gaia would be easier.
Unfortunately, movement across the Kronos Continent wasn't simple. While he could leave Evernight whenever he wanted, the same couldn't be said about the Saturn Sector, as the borders of this one were highly regulated.
