In the Litiria clan.
In a secret underground base under the Litiria clan grand hall.
"How are you all so incompetent, how could you all have lost her traces just like that, how is the search in the chaos realm where she was last detested?" Patriarch James shout at the top of his lungs at the two other subordinate in the room with him for the unknown times since the day the track end, the two subordinate in the room are two leaders among the six corps of the greater god associate.
Their eyes clearly show their dissatisfaction with how things have been going on lately, especially with the way James has been treating them, he seem to have forgotten that while three of the leader of the six corps are his subordinate, these two here in this room right now are not, so the mistakes of his subordinate should not have been their concern right, but no, here they are try answering questions they have no answers for.
It's been a year and half now since the goddess of life disappeared from their radar totally, something that should have been impossible by the method they are using to track her.
But here they are, a year and half and they have absolutely nothing to show for all they efforts and meticulous planning, James is reminded again that nothing is absolute in these world, they are always bigger mountains out there, because you have not seen it, does not means it does not exist, you just have to find it.
He will be lying to himself if he said his subordinates haven't try all they could do and everything they know, but still yet, goddess of life seems so have disappear from both the land of the living and of the dead, is just unimaginable to them, they could have sense her even if she was dead, which do not seems to be the case, what they are sure of right now is that she is either in a realm that is cut off completely from their plane of existence or she sealed in a formation the cut of the connection to this existence.
It was fun when they have her on their radar and watching her run around like a rat catch in a trap but now they exhausted, extremely.
James sigh as he did not received any tangible reply from anyone, but truthful what reply can he expect from them, how are they to suddenly produce something he himself could not find, he too has been to the last place the tracker place her, in the chaos realm, nothing was there, absolutely nothing.
In fact in has lost a good junk of powerful elders of his clan in that section of chaos realm, the chaos beast there just seem more active nowadays that it has become dangerous to ventures deep or even reach that location anymore.
To add salt to the open wound of the Litiria clan, the higher human have start their retaliations the moment they notice the disappearance of their princess, her life lamp is still burning, which means she's still alive, they are only attacking them more actively and openly now because they believe the Litiria clan as captured their princess.
Had it been that her life lamp as gone off, the Litiria clan will have been facing the full power of the higher human by now, not these small scale battles between the younger generations.
They only thought she was captured and since the Litiria clan as been the one who were harassing the higher human to provided their princess and few of the elders also know what the Litiria clan as done to the princess son, it become so hard now for them to explain that they don't have their princess or has hand in her disappearance, they are not even given any chance to explain, but even if they were given one, they have no evidence to back up their claim of not having their princess.
The Litiria clan is been reminded why no other major power ever try to pick a fight with the higher humans, the total population of these special kind of human is not even up to a thousand, they are not even populated enough to be called a race of people, they are more like an over extended family because everyone practically knows everyone and every single one of them is born with an aspect of the first higher human power, the first progenitor was like a child between a human father and a ***** mother, the gene of the father was strong enough that the child takes the form of human but the power aspect was from his mother side of the gene.
Yet everyone knows that every other born higher human are special enough that they deserve the acknowledgement of every other race in this every existence because just like how the first ever higher human was a nightmare for the *****, his descendant have also become the nightmare of all the major powers, well that's for the major power that choose to antagonize them anyways, that's why the higher human have been left to their own device since they don't fight for any resource or try to antagonize anyone of the other power or even participate in any organize competition among the major power.
But the Litiria clan and their other two associate have disturb the hornet nest, and now it payback time, the Litiria major world that was famed as the center of commerce, as now become so empty, no business can run because of the continuous assault of the higher humans, the clans that owns part of this major world as become more reserve in their movement nowadays, in fact there are rumor going around already about the betrayal of some clans with the smallest shares in the greater god association because of the damage the higher human has cause them already.
