After falling for what felt like an eternity, Lux found himself suddenly appearing in the skies of Elysium.

The Fox Lady, Hana, suddenly appeared beside him and held him tightly.

She then made several short teleportations in rapid succession before landing softly on the ground, still holding the Half-Elf in a princess carry.

"Thank you, Hana," Lux said.

"You're welcome," Hana replied as she helped her Master stand up properly. "Did you find the answers that you were looking for, Master?"

"Weren't you there with me?" Lux asked back. "Didn't you hear Thirteen's words?"

Hana shook her head. "The moment we appeared in that world, we couldn't see what was happening outside. For some reason, we also can't materialize beside you. "Our vision only returned a moment ago when you started falling from the sky, Master. Because of this, I took the initiative to bring you safely to the ground because I thought that you lacked the power to land by yourself."

Lux smiled and nodded his head.

Although he could have landed safely and broken free from Hana's hold, he allowed himself to be taken care of by his companion. Thirteen's words had resonated in his heart, and he finally understood something that he had been taking for granted all along.

'Yes, I am not alone,' Lux thought. 'I've been fighting with everyone from the start. Also, there are others like Keoza, who will always lend me their hand when I need them.'

He then remembered Thirteen's snarky comment about him being a side character and the mount of a Baby Slime, who was the true protagonist of his story if his life were in the world of a novel.

"What a funny guy," Lux thought. "How can I be the side character of my own story? Isn't that a joke?"

Shaking his head, Lux teleported to his Guild Headquarters in order to see how everyone was doing.

Currently, the Alliance was rushing back toward the Kingdom of Espoir Frieden after they received word that Nyarlathotep had suddenly appeared there, bringing its horde of Golden Abominations with it.

They knew that no matter how fast they wanted to go, things would have already concluded the moment they arrived.

Fortunately, Hereswith had informed them through the Guild Chat of Heaven's Gate that everything had already been dealt with.

Despite countless deaths and damage received by the Elven Kingdom, Nyarlathotep was finally defeated, which made the entire Alliance rejoice.

Even so, that didn't stop them from moving at full speed back to the Elven Kingdom to reunite with their loved ones, while hoping that their families weren't among those who had died due to the Outer God's invasion.

Lux, who suddenly appeared in the Floating Island of Edea, found himself facing two Dragon Kings, who had sensed his arrival.

"So you've finally shown yourself, you brat." King Azza pressed his hand over Lux's shoulder and held it in a vice grip. "We have many things to talk about. But first, tell me, how would you like to die? You can choose the method. I don't particularly mind. However, I highly recommend that you choose the slow and painful way to die."

The corner of Lux's lips twitched when his father-in-law stopped talking. Clearly, the Dragon King wasn't too thrilled about the news of his precious and beautiful daughter suddenly being pregnant without his knowledge.

"Father…" Lux said, but before he could finish saying the rest of what he planned to say, King Azza grabbed his robe and raised him up, making the Half-Elf look at the Dragon King eye-to-eye.

"Don't call me Father, brat." King Azza growled. "You have the guts to do that to my daughter. Do you know how much I'm tempted to rip you to shreds right now? The only reason why you're still alive is because you dealt with that bastard Nyarlathotep, who is only a little less scummy than you."

Lux didn't know what to say after being compared to the Outer God, who had almost destroyed the World Tree and turned everyone in Espoir Frieden into Golden Abominations, which would serve as its personal army.

"Dad…" Lux said, which made the Dragon King raise his hand to smack him.

Fortunately, Keoza held onto the Dragon King's wrist and prevented him from hurting the Half-Elf, whom he was also very tempted to smack for getting Aurelia pregnant.

The worst part of it all was that he was almost forced to watch the process. Fortunately, at the last second, he managed to split his spirit from the Dragon Token to appear in Karshvar Draconis.

That was when he told the Dragon King that he would join him the next time King Azza went fishing.

"Don't tease him too much, Lux," Keoza stated. "First, tell us everything that happened. Hereswith has already told us how the event unfolded, but we want to hear your version of it."

King Azza snorted, but he still released the Half-Elf so that the latter could talk.

After fixing his robe, Lux told the two Dragon Kings everything from start to finish. He told them about going to the Abyss to save Aurora and his near brush with Daniel.

When he came to the part when he finally arrived in Elysium, the two Dragon Kings' expressions became solemn.

The Half-Elf told them that Blackfire informed him that Hereswith was in danger, and the Kingdom of Espoir Frieden was under attack by Nyarlathotep.

Because of this, he had hurriedly gone there to fight against the Outer God and prevent him from destroying the World Tree, as well as hurting his lovers, who were all living near the tree itself.

When he told them that the Golden Scales didn't appear even after he destroyed Nyarlathotep's soul, the expressions of the two Dragon Kings' became even more grim.

Lux even mentioned the part when he saw Daniel breaking the seal that Antero had placed to prevent anyone from reaching the Thirteenth Floor.

King Azza, as well as Keoza, were dumbfounded when Lux admitted that the Succubus Queen had given birth to his daughter.

But that was not all.

His daughter possessed the Pillar of Hope within her soul, which was now also in Daniel's possession, making the Pseudo-God the owner of the three Pillars of Eternity.

"So, you and Eiko are in possession of two of the Pillars. The Pillar of Love and Pillar of Stability, which are the Golden Locket and the Golden Anchor," Keoza said. "Only by gathering all five will you be able to save Solais. "On the other hand, if Daniel succeeds in acquiring all of them, he will not only hold power over both Elysium and Solais, but he will also finally ascend into Godhood."

The Crystal Dragon sighed before looking at Lux with the most serious expression he had made in his life.

"So, have you found a way to defeat him?" Keoza asked.

Even King Azza, who was still mad at Lux, held his tongue and waited for the Half-Elf's answer.

"Yes and no," Lux replied. "I think I understand how to defeat him, but until I put it into practice, I will not know whether I am right or wrong."

"So when do you plan to put this to the test?" King Azza inquired.

Lux didn't say anything. Instead, he pointed towards the Heavens, making both Dragon King's frown.

"We can't let Daniel reach Elysium and Solais and make these worlds our battleground," Lux stated. "We won't wait until he brings the fight to our doorsteps. We will bring the fight to him and hit him with everything we have or die trying."

King Azza and Keoza glanced at each other before looking at the Half-Elf with smiles on their faces.

They were done being messed around with by the invaders from the Abyss.

If a fight is what the Pseudo-God wanted, a fight he would get.

But this time, they would be the ones knocking on Daniel's doorstep in order to give him a piece of their mind.
