Her eyes became cold the next second as she glared at Lilith and others. "I may have lost, but that doesn't mean I am going to surrender." 'I am not going to give up on everything just like this. I have made countless sacrifices for my dream. I may have failed now, but there is no way that I will give up after coming here.' Luna and the Sky Serpent made contact and then slightly nodded their heads. This did not go unnoticed by others. "If you're thinking of escaping, I suggest you stop...!!" Lilith commented with a smirk. There was no need for her to personally stop Luna and the Sky Serpent. There was someone else who was better suited for this job. "Hmph.....!! One day, I am going to have my revenge on you." Luna glared at Lilith and said. Luna really hated Lilith since even though she wasn't a Goddess, she was more like a Goddess than her. If not for this woman, then no one would have been able to stop her. Even without the support of the Homunculus, without Lilith's interference, Luna would have been able to take control of her enemies and turn them into her puppets. She wouldn't have been exposed in front of the whole world like this. "I am going to humiliate you."
"Yeah.....!! Yeah...!!" Lilith waved at her dismissively. She wasn't interested in talking with this woman anymore. Lilith wanted to go home and tease Aditya. The last few weeks, Lilith hasn't been able to spend much time with Aditya due to everything that this woman and her partner have been doing from the shadows. Seeing Lilith's careless attitude, Luna was even more offended by this. 'One day...! I will take away everything that you love.' Luna tried to cast a small distraction illusion magic and flee from this place. But...
Before Luna and Sky Serpent could act together, suddenly, green elastic veins came out beneath them and wrapped around their bodies, preventing them from moving at all. "What are these things?" Luna struggled to free herself. But even with her 5th-order cultivation strength, she couldn't even move an inch. The most dangerous part about these green veins was their ability to absorb her Mana. These veins were absorbing her mana at a rapid speed. Roar.....!!!
The Sky Serpent roared as it tried to free itself, but no matter what it did, it was never able to free itself from the bindings of the green elastic veins. And the worse thing was, the Sky Serpent could feel that his mana was rapidly being sucked out of him by these green veins. "You two are not leaving after what you two have done." Riya wasn't going to allow them to leave like this. Riya then looked at Spencer and nodded. This nod signaled him to announce the end of this war. This wasn't really a war since two people manipulated the Istarin Empire's allies for their own motives. Spencer stepped forward. Everyone stared at him and waited for his words. "Everyone, as you all have seen and heard, this all was manipulated by this woman Luna and her partner Felix." Hearing this, Luna and the Sky Serpent widened their eyes in a mix of shock and surprise.
Luna finally understood why all the Homunculus suddenly disappeared. 'But how did they know the truth?' No matter how much she asked herself, she could not guess or even think of any possibility that could have given away Felix's name in this. Spencer then turned to the four Rulers on the battlefield and addressed them. "It's not up to me to decide the status of our Alliance. It's up to His Majesty. Whatever His Majesty decides, the Istarin Empire will follow it." This was Spencer's way of letting the Three Kings and One Empress know that the Istarin Empire was very dissatisfied with them. They were dissatisfied with the fact the an unknown woman was able to control them and nearly caused a war between them. Daxton looked like he wanted to some something. But after thinking for a bit, Daxton simply nodded his head. "I will be waiting for His Majesty. The doors of the Echo Dominion Empire for the Istarin Empire will always be open." Daxton was indirectly hinting at Spencer that his Echo Dominion Empire will always be open to reforging their severed relationship. Daxton was willing to talk and resolve this matter. "But there is one more thing that I would like to request," Daxton asked in a humble tone. "As long as it's within my power and does not contradict the interests of the Istarin Empire, I will endeavor to fulfill your request, Your Majesty."
"We would like to use your Empire's teleportation arrays to teleport back to our Empire. Don't worry, once we return, I shall pay the cost of teleportation in lumpsum." Hearing this, Spencer nodded his head. If Spencer did not agree, then Daxton and his troops would have no choice but to return to the Echo Dominion Empire on their foot. The whole journey is going to take at least half a month. Not every Kingdom might allow such a large number of troops to enter their territories, meaning they would need to take a lot of detours. "Everyone, we are heading back to the Echo Dominion Empire." Aidan, King Ren, and the Empress of the Storm Isle Dynasty also chose to return with their troops using teleportation arrays and promised to pay the cost of using their teleportation arrays once they had returned to their territories. The payment can be made in gold coins, based on the current market price of Mana Stones in the Istarin Empire, or using Mana Stones directly.
"Alright, let's head back." "Nathan, I want you to take this woman to the deepest level of the prison. As for this giant snake, I will let Lady Riya handle him." Riya nodded his head and then stepped forward. Riya stared at the Sky Serpent who also has been silently staring at Riya. She could feel that the snake was very angry with her. But she did not care. Although this snake is a tough cake, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for her to kill it. Watching, Luna being taken away by Nathan, Lilith waved at her with a dazzling smile and said in a loud tone. "Don't give up on your dream. You can continue to pursue your dreams in the deepest level of prison." Lilith purposely said this loudly so that everyone could hear her. She wanted to embarrass Luna. As expected, Luna coldly glared at Lilith but was unable to say anything as her mouth was sealed with an artifact. "Now, what's with that look?" Lilith smiled and curled up, seeing Luna's reaction. "If you're dissatisfied with my suggestion, then I can make arrangements for you to stay with a group of young Orcs." Hearing this, Luna's face turned pale. Her body whole shivered just at the thought of having to stay in the same cell as a bunch of young Orcs. Orcs are ugly lustful creatures. Especially, male Orcs have no restraint on their lust. Some male Orcs' thirst for sex and pleasure can even match that of an Incubus. "You're so cruel, Lilith...!!" Amelia commented while watching Luna shakily standing on the teleportation array. "Compared to all the things that she did, this is nothing. Besides, it's not like I am going to capture a bunch of young Orcs from the forest and send them to Luna as a gift."
"Hehe!! She is cute. Maybe I will visit her in the prison once every few days." Amelia shook her head feeling pity for Luna. "Let's head back to the Dragon Palace," Julia suggested. "I am afraid I will need to head back to the Celestial Terrain with my troops. Tell Aditya, that I will return tomorrow." Amelia watched as everyone stood at the teleportation array. A few seconds later, everyone had returned to the Dragon Palace.

Scene Change_____
While enjoying strawberry cake, Felix returned to the large underground room where the Rune Array was built. But as he stepped in, he froze when he noticed a figure sitting on his throne at the center of the array. "Took you long enough!!" Aditya waved at Felix with a smile. "That's a nice place you here." Shatter....!!
Felix dropped the glass plate from his hands while staring at Aditya in absolute shock and disbelief. For a moment, Felix's mind had completely stopped processing. He just froze while staring at Aditya. Seeing him staring without even blinking, Aditya waved his hand with a small smile. "Are you there?" He asked. "How you're here?" "How am I here? It's a long story." Aditya replied with a smile. "But it all starts with a prisoner named Silas." ----------------
