Ariella was still young, and her skills still had room for improvement, but she was determined to become the best in her field. But like any other preteen, there were so many distractions and temptations that could derail her focus and determination. Despite this, after hearing and seeing her older brother excel in his own pursuits, she was inspired to work even harder to achieve her goals. She knew that with dedication and perseverance, she could overcome any obstacles in her path and reach the level of success she aspired to.
She smiled and openly accepted the information her brother shared with her , knowing that it would only help her grow and improve. She was grateful for his guidance and support, and she was ready to put in the hard work necessary to reach her full potential while stuffing her mouth with pastries Grandma Mao and her mother created.
It was a wonderful day, Ramiel was able to gain more than just a casual get together, learning something from other people's points of view was very fulfilling, both intellectually and emotionally. She felt a sense of connection and understanding that left her feeling inspired and motivated to continue pursuing her goals.
The collective was now eager to see what their masters next plan was. They wanted to join the festivities, but their massive combined energy would be a huge issue, They know they need to evolve as fast as they can or learn to suppress and control their mana , and as they already obtained the plan to become members of the Ramiels earth guild, Ramiel saw them as companions and not summoned beings. Ramiel recognized their potential and was eager to see how they would grow and contribute to the guild. Ramiel values their individuality and strengths.
Beta graciously excited the room to discreetly enters he void, as Ramiel mentally told her to prepare the Hell knights commanding officers , she just bow her head and effortlessly went out without nobody noticing her, but Grandma Mao saw saw but did not reacted as she knew her grandsons companions were somewhat connected to him as their raw energy signature were similar. Beta was sure her movements were able to elude the rest but four of those who were inside the office saw her , her ghost like skill were seen without any effort. Grandma Mao simply smiled knowingly, understanding the bond between Beta and her grandson. As Beta slipped away undetected, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her ability to move with such stealth and grace.
meanwhile as The dimensional rifts were still randomly appearing all over the world but because he was able to quickly establish that his constant traveling in and out of the other realm was the reason the dimensions were opening with higher levels of monsters pouring out, within a few weeks he noticed the decrease of high level rifts, confirming his theory to be right; he was indeed the reason for the increased rift activity. With this realization, Ramiel made a conscious effort to temporarily stop his travels between realms, ultimately leading to a significant decrease in high-level rifts and monster invasions. But without sacrifices,
especially what happened to Hilas and the condition of Irles pregnancy , Ramiel knew that the peace he had achieved may not last long. He understood that the consequences of his actions were not without cost, and he would need to find a way to balance his responsibilities in both realms to prevent further chaos. Everything scenario and situation is branching out into different possible futures; the burden was getting to him.
Even the collective was worried that he could be everywhere at the same time. Gaining the power to freely travel to different realms has a huge cost, and Ramiel was beginning to feel the weight of that burden on his shoulders. He knew that he would need to make difficult decisions in order to maintain order and protect those he cared about. Protecting the people in Arcane was much easier because they all knew what kind of life they chose to live in, but on earth, he still needs to determine the worth of each individual's safety and well-being. Not everything he sees and feels is real and true; each living sentient human being has an internal struggle that he must consider.
Ramiel understood the gravity of his role as a leader, a position he openly accepted based on his actions and the outcome of his decisions. He expected this much the moment he extended his hand toward the tribe of war orcs from the mountain troll many months ago, knowing that his choices would impact the lives of many. He must now handle the complexities of human nature and discern the genuine from the deceitful in order to fulfill his duty effectively. h
Humans, unlike any other race, have every known characteristic of emotion and motive that can be found within them. There were no clear rules on how to comprehend the intricate web of human interactions and their freedom to act unpredictably and irrationally, adding an extra layer of challenge to his already difficult task. It was like walking on thin ice. Each human being can be your worst enemy and best ally, depending on the situation at hand, making it essential for him to navigate these relationships with caution and precision. The delicate balance between trust and skepticism was crucial , nothing was definite.
That is why he implemented the insignia mark of loyalty on the Arcanian people, he knew trust was not absolute and wanted a visible symbol of allegiance. This way, he could easily identify who was truly loyal to him and who might pose a threat to the safety of Arcane. The mark of loyalty also served as a reminder to his people that trust must be earned and not taken for granted.
But here on earth, he can never do that; the vast complications of the human mind are much more multilayered than a simple mark could determine. There are so many factors to consider when determining someone's loyalty, such as personal beliefs, motivations, and past actions. Ultimately, he realized that true trust could only be built through genuine connections and consistent behavior over time. Despite his efforts, there were still those who deceived him and threatened the security of Arcane. This realization only fueled his drive to find new ways to protect everyone who needs protection.
So creating a symbol that could unite mankind is what he plans to do. And he must quickly advance toward this plan, considering how many uncontrollable events might occur. The four puppet guardian commanders that were manipulating Queen Sheaira Liluth Demiurgos will finally make their move.
The Sarthrellith clan is the only thing that is keeping the four from implementing their plans to expand. The question was were and who were they going to invade, earth, the ninth realm? He needs to gain these answers as fast as he can. Placing the Hellmane clan at the very forefront of this dispute was crucial for the safety of all realms involved. But leaving everything to chance was not something he tends to leave to chance. He must act swiftly to gather intelligence and strategize before Queen Sheaira Liluth Demiurgos makes her move. The fate of Earth and the ninth realm hangs in the balance, and he cannot afford to leave anything to chance.
Ramiel's mind was constantly running with possibilities and scenarios, he has been like this, the burden was too much for an ordinary person to bear. The weight of responsibility pressed heavily on his shoulders, but he knew that failure was not an option, which is why he casually did these things to make him look and feel normal, such as taking long walks in the surrounding area, reading a book, or spending time with his family when even he could Despite the facade of normalcy, Ramiel knew that the fate of both realms rested on his ability to outwit fate and destiny.
The room was filled with laughter., and as he respected and loved those there, he missed seeing his second family and all of the Arcanians he swore to protect. He couldn't let them down, no matter how heavy the burden of responsibility felt on his shoulders. As he mingled with his loved ones, he made a silent vow to himself to do whatever it takes to ensure their safety and success in the upcoming struggle.
Ramiel asked his father, Guan Yu, if he could any secured facility near or inside.
Fu Xi Shi Corporation to answer his companions request; hearing this from Ramiel made the Homunculus Imperial Force shout with joy, eager to stand beside their master once more. Guan Yu nodded in approval, proud of his son's willingness to take on such a crucial role in protecting what is important to him.
Guan Yu personally took Ramiel toward the sub-basement, and while going down inside a private elevator, Guan Yu was contemplating what he should tell his son. They do have a certain connection between words and action, and even when he was still a young boy, Guan Yu finds Ramiels vast sense of maturity to be a blessing. Talking to him directly without any filters or barriers was something he liked. As they descended further into the sub-basement, Guan Yu decided it was time to share some valuable wisdom or casual talk with Ramiel, knowing that their bond would only strengthen as they faced the challenges ahead together.
Ramiel smiled and knew already what his adoptive father was thinking, As soon as he woke up from the coma, Guan Yu never wasted time and filled the void for Ramiels adoption. Being his stepfather might be lacking in some way, but to show he truly adored this young man, he legally adopted him. Ramiel thanked his father and told him he truly understood what he was feeling,
" Father is different from Grandpa Tang, your quiet demeanor and unwavering support have made all the difference in my life."
Guan Yu nodded, touched by Ramiel's words, and knew that their bond would only continue to grow stronger with time. As they shared a warm embrace, Guan Yu felt a sense of fulfillment, knowing that he had made a positive impact on Ramiel's life. Moving forward, they both looked forward to creating more memories together as father and son.
When the private elevator stopped at the lowest sublevel, Guan Yu expressed his excitement to see what Ramiel planned to do. The sublevel was supported by many enormous pillars that spanned five feet in diameter and had an inch of steel plate covering them all the way up to the very ceiling. However, Guan Yu informed Ramiel that this area did not contain the main support beam of the Fu Xi Shi Corporation, which is located at the very center of the extended wing. As a result, whatever happens here will not affect the building's infrastructure, so he can enjoy the space worry-free.
" Father, i would like to introduce my companions in war, Ramiel opened the void gate"
