While Evan went to the island to perform a Soul Search on the individuals who came out of the portals, Valery also sought out Leon and spoke with him about what had happened in Antarctica.
She made the excuse that they had gone to Antarctica for a friendly sparring match and it was nothing serious. As for why she had instructed the hunters not to go near the portals that appeared across the Earth, she simply told him to meet with Evan the following day.
Of course, even with Valery's warning, it was impossible for the Federation to ignore the portals that had appeared all over the Earth. So, once the shadow undeads captured the people who emerged from the portals and left, some high-level hunters went there to investigate.
Due to satellite images, even though no hunters were near the portals when they opened, the high-level hunters still saw the Glacifern people with pale blue skin who came out of the portals and how they were captured by terrifying-looking black monsters.
The hunters wanted to track where these black monsters took the people with pale blue skin, but the chaotic energy around the black creatures disrupted the mana in their surroundings, preventing the hunters from determining the destination through the satellite.
Valery was aware that even with her warning, the Federation wouldn't ignore the portals.
Unlike her, who knew Evan and was aware that he was telling them not to go near the portal for their own good, the Federation had no knowledge of him and couldn't dismiss a potential threat just because he said so.
Valery was somewhat helpless regarding this matter, but she didn't care much. If the hunters chose to remain near the portals despite her warnings, then she couldn't be bothered with their fate. She wasn't familiar with most of the hunters in the Federation as she had only recently joined, and much of her time was spent searching for a solution to the soul strand residing in her core, limiting her interaction with the other hunters.
Remembering the aura she felt when the portal opened in Antarctica, Valery shook her head and sighed.
'If more people like those emerge from the portals, the hunters staying around the portals won't even get a chance to escape.'She had been close to the portal when Shaldik emerged, so she knew how terrifying the individuals coming through the portals were. She was certain that if a few more individuals like Shaldik came through, they might even destroy the entire Earth.
Earth was very different from the Arora World, which was hundreds of times larger than the Earth.
Even when millions of demons were summoned by the Dark Guild there, the world remained unaffected due to its large size. However, Earth was much smaller and couldn't handle high-end battles involving people like Shaldik and the others.
"Just who are these people?" Valery muttered with a sigh as she walked toward Evan's house after talking to Leon.
She wanted to ask Evan who these people were and what was going on, but since he had left immediately after bringing her back to Base City Five, she hadn't had a chance to ask anything.
When she arrived at the house where Evan was staying, she saw him sitting on the roof.
Seeing that he had returned, she flew up to the roof and landed beside him.
"I just spoke to Leon and mentioned that you wanted to meet the high-level officials of the Federation. After what happened earlier, it turns out they also want to meet you, so you can meet them tomorrow," Valery said as she landed next to him.
"Good," Evan nodded lightly, looking at the sky while deep in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Valery asked curiously when she saw him lost in thought.
Evan sighed at her question and rubbed his eyebrows. "I am just thinking about how I should return after dealing with everything here."
When Evan used his title, The Owner of Eldoria City, he wasn't sent to the World Domain; instead, for some reason, he was sent to Earth.
However, even though he wasn't sent to the World Domain, his title still entered a cooldown state.
Now, if he wanted to use it again, he would have to wait for one year and it was obvious that he couldn't stay on Earth for such a long time.
Even though the time ratio between Earth and Utopia was different, he didn't want to stay on Earth for long because he couldn't increase his strength while remaining there.
Currently, his core was at the peak of Rank Two and he needed to deepen his understanding of the conceptual energy of the void to become a Rank Three Core Evolver.
However, when he tried to increase his understanding of void energy, he found that progress was very slow. It was as if there was something on Earth that made it difficult for him to advance his comprehension of void energy. Even if he stayed on earth for two years, he felt he might not be able to increase his understanding of void energy to 75%.
When Valery heard Evan talking about how to return, her curiosity was piqued.
"You said you were sent to a different world, right? Tell me something about it."
Evan glanced at Valery from the corner of his eyes and suddenly remembered how she had tried to find the Ice Monarch after arriving on Earth to take away his source and his lips arched upwards slightly.
'Let's see if she will still think about taking away his source after knowing what kind of big boss that guy is...' He thought to himself and began to tell Valery about Utopia.
While Evan was telling Valery about Utopia, somewhere in an office room, a tall, bulky man, nearly two and a half meters tall was looking at a message he had just received. The message was about the meeting between the high officials of the Federation and Evan. The man had a rough-looking face, brown eyes and his head was completely sunshine with no sign of hair.
After reading the message, the bulky man closed the holographic screen and sighed.
"So it's about to begin, huh..." The man muttered in a low voice before suddenly disappearing from the room.
In an underground corridor, the surrounding air vibrated and the bulky man reappeared there. Looking down the underground corridor, the man took a deep breath and walked deeper, soon reaching the end of the corridor and stopping in front of a portal. He stared at the portal for a moment before stepping forward and entering it.
Upon entering the portal, the man found himself in a small room with various types of runes engraved on the walls.
He glanced at the runes, their faint glow illuminating the dim space and then turned his head toward one of the corners of the room. In that corner, he saw a figure completely shrouded in black mist sitting silently.
Seeing the figure, the man hesitated for a moment, but soon, he took a deep breath and continued walking toward the shadowy presence. He stopped a few meters away from the figure and spoke in a low voice.
"I think the person you were waiting for is here."
