Irving sighed as he looked at the spot where the Chaos Entity had just been. "It seems my only option is to collaborate with them if I want to gather more information about the chaotic powers. I truly have no alternatives left; my companions should understand my decision."
Irving muttered this to himself, fully aware that his collaboration with the Chaos Entity and Elder Astra would likely face resistance from his allies. Aron and Anna had a deep-seated hatred for both Astra and the Chaos Entity. There was no way they would agree to work with them. James might be more open to cooperation, but the assistance he could offer was limited.
After pondering for a while, Irving decided to head to the Ocean Group headquarters first. He hoped to inform Vicky about the situation. In his eyes, Vicky was the least likely to oppose him. No matter what decisions he made, she had always been supportive.
