As Rex and his group entered the Stairway. The Maintainer's presence loomed over the children. A simple gesture of what not to do in the future.
"He was about to enter the Stairway when we could actually try and talk to him." A Maintainer's masculine voice echoed.
"He should be returning to my Realm shortly. I will speak to him." The Sixth Realm Maintainer replied.
Of course it was more for his purpose than the opposite.
The others agreed. A silence fell upon them. The only one truly worried about the present timing of Rex was the Sixth Realm Maintainer. The Ninth Realm Maintainer was not even the first to complain. He honestly did not have a reason to care about what happened there.
Inside the Stairway
Memories flashed through Rex's mind. The times of hardship and torture that made him strong enough to endure the painful attempts of cultivation during his first attempt.
"No matter how strong or how willful I was. I never could break free." Rex thought.
When he fought the Dragon who was a clone of Mera in the Fourth Realm and got to redo the path of cultivation. His joy back was more than anything else he could imagine.
"That was embarrassing." Rex thought.
Even meeting the baby wyvern who he was going to transform into a full grown Adult Dragon. It is hard but he already knows of the secrets to unlock them.
To the Spider Queen who he will help in the Heavenly Realm. Her knowledge and skills helpful to the greatest of scholars and grandmasters of any time.
He had not really had a good time to use his Heavenly Vampiric Bat. Since he was about to start some dangerous missions that he knew of. Any and all information that he could gather was important. Thankfully, his Vampiric Bat had grown to be able to fly all day and night while cultivating Rex's Qi. More than that, what he truly needed was the pieces to make his baby wyvern into a full grown dragon.
There are pieces in the Sixth Realm and above to do so but they are pretty pricey to come across. Since Rex could effectively use what he needed to. He did not want the consequences falling on anyone else.
"I have to make sure that he knows what I am about to do." Rex thought.
He was thinking of the Sixth Realm Maintainer. He had already gotten all the people and creatures into the Third Realm to help them grow and mature. To strengthen their cultivation and be able to fight against all others in the heat of battle.
"This last step will be the step that brings me back to the current me."
As soon as the step was taken. A flash of light appeared around them. Rex was in the middle of the bathtub while his Soul Mate were blinking while showcasing their naked bodies.
"Good evening." Rex said has he got slapped by Violet.
"WHO SAID YOU COULD ENTER THE TUB WITH US?!" She screamed.
The others laughed but knew that they too would have to do that eventually unless they were married at the time.
The door opened up and Georgiana and Zahida came in naked. War God behind them also stripping of her clothes.
"Why did we come back together this time?" Rex thought.
"Greetings, how was the treasure visit inside the wash tub?" The Sixth Realm Maintainer's voice echoed through the room.
"Depends what you want to say." Rex replied.
Since everyone heard the Sixth Realm Maintainer, Rex was more open to answer him.
"I heard you caused a mass amount of trouble within the First Realm. Would you like to know what happened?"
"Sure." Rex did not much care but decided it was worth a shot.
"Those two children actually caused the Cultivation Storm in the First Realm."
Georgiana and Zahida became scared. The original girls confused. War God was under a simple mindset of 'I belong to Rex'. Rex was worried that the children would be hurt or worst for it.
"What was decision on it?" Rex asked.
"Nothing much just the other Maintainers wanted to know your response to it. Truthfully speaking, I will lie to them. Even if I get struck, you will provide for my daughter."
Rex gently smiled.
"So, let me hear the famous words before I lie to them."
"The children did do bad but they were trying their best to help out. We have a war coming, those people either would have died tragically or watched their families be screwed over.
This at least helps the War out. If anyone wants to punish them, let them try. I will come back there if I have to." Rex finished in his Demonic Qi filled voice.
"Wow. Much better than what I was expecting." The Sixth Realm Maintainer did not tell them that those words echoed through the other Realm Maintainers.
Fear seeped into them. The children proud to have Rex on their side. The Ninth Realm Maintainer not caring in the least.
"I vow to make this a better place. I cannot do that if people are either dumb enough not to cultivate or try to even cultivate. For those would naturally could not cultivate, their joy was overwhelming when that storm came through.
Even the greatest of people would say that blessings come in different versions. A storm a thing that can bring disaster or harmony how in the balance across the realms. Even demons would love to have that happen.
A strong physical body is nice. Strong weapons with strong physical bodies is better. Cultivating and being able to properly stand beside your friends and neighbors with the same intent to destroy the enemy is all that matters.
Let those who blame the children come find me or speak up now. I will not allow those two to get any blame nor take any punishment. I will personally visit and knock some brains around!"
The end of the speech echoed and the children were dancing with each other in so much joy that neither one could contain it. The other Maintainers now feared the bad side of Rex and his destructive powers.
Even a good man can become an enemy when faced against many better people.
