…!

The body of Stephon slumped to the ground as the Entangling Vines receded from him, multiple Resplendent Heals descending unto him a second later as his mutilated body began to twitch and heal.

Noah watched the scene calmly as he waved his hands to bring forth a Mana Potion and drink it, his eyes turning to the GOLD Commander known as the Red Berserker!

"You...Argh!"

Every time he tried to muster any words or strength, the scorching rays of light called down by the Conflagrant Pegasus would smash into him as there didn't seem to be a bone in his body that wasn't broken.

Noah came towards the remaining GOLD Blessed as the tens of Silver Blessed in the surroundings hid the scene within the crater, making sure that no beings would bear witness to the events occurring at this moment.

"Thank you for waiting."

Noah came in front of the Red Berserker with cold eyes as after refilling his mana reserves, he repeated exactly what he had done with Stephon!

This juncture was the first time that Noah began to feel his head pounding from immense pain as he took over the minds of 2 Blessed a Rank higher than him, feeling like his brain was splitting apart in the process as he persevered.

Less than a minute later, the body of another GOLD Blessed slumped to the ground as Resplendent Heals washed over his body!

"..."

Noah stared at this scene silently as at this moment, he had successfully managed to achieve his goal, and two of the most powerful combatants of the City lay before him...as beings he could freely command!

He rubbed his aching temples as a sense of profound accomplishment washed over him, but still keeping his vigilance until this night fully ended as he began to give out commands.

"Clear the scenes of battle and don't let anyone near. The excuse will be rebelling Blessed that will be taken care of!"

RUMBLE!

His shocking commands reached the minds of the many silver blessed as they began to move out in the dark of the night.

Within the crater, a few remained behind as Noah squatted down while looking at the two GOLD Blessed painfully healing on the ground.

"So, let's see your memories, shall we?"

…!

The shocking explosions and terrifying aura that appeared within City 8 disappeared just as quickly as they came.

The Bronze Blessed from the Dark and Wild Continents that had woken to see what was wrong were held back by the SILVER Superiors, nobody being able to grasp what exactly had happened in the block where the Golden Phoenix Auction House was!

The walls of the City were reinforced as not a single being was let in or out, a tight lock down being put in place upon the city as the Silver Blessed moving about told those below them that some beings had tried to rebel, the whole City needing to be placed on lockdown until they were all caught.

This would be the truth that many beings would know and believe for some time!

But Noah had managed to achieve his goals as he was able to Subjugate 2 GOLD Blessed under him and keep all the information about it hidden from others, nobody being the wiser on who was truly standing atop this City at this moment.

It actually was not under the influence of any of the warring Continents...a new being rising up as he now held an entire city beneath his feet, controlling all the powerful Blessed within it!

What a wondrous feat to achieve in a matter of days!

Hours passed as the chaos receded and calmness descended, a lot of activity still occurring throughout the city as Squadrons of Silver Blessed moved while leading Bronze teams in the night.

In the block where the Golden Phoenix Auction House was, the area that was entirely blocked off from the gazes of any Blessed- Noah was sitting on a couch within the first floor of the empty Auction House as he stared at the kneeling figures of two Gold Blessed.

"The Dark King…"

He uttered out the name of the powerful being whose authority was used to take over the past Academy City and start the war, the memories he gained about this being and the secrets about the upper ranks of Blessed from the two Continents being extremely bountiful and shocking!

Using [Mind Connection], Noah was able to learn a great deal of information that he knew he would need days to simply isolate all of and plan accordingly.

It was information about the shocking Ruler that found out about the death of the Ethereal Emperor, the information of the being that created the armies that were coming to ravage the Light Continent at this moment...information from Commanders of this army that would prove extremely deadly for the days to come!

"Master, the other subjugated Cities are…"

Stephon talked freely as Noah listened, Annalise and Rose behind him taking notes as they learned exactly what was going on in the darkness of the Ethereal Realm.

After some time, Noah waved his hands and gave tasks for what the two Gold Rank experts needed to do for the next few hours, remaining with Annalise and Rose as he looked towards them with shining eyes!

Annalise was looking towards her brother with pride as Rose looked on with a sense of wonder.

"We have powerful enemies around us and the Imperial Capital in front of us, you two are ready for what is to come?"

Noah spoke calmly while gazing at the girls that adopted strong expressions while nodding! Rose was the first to speak up as the regality of a princess showed itself on her face. Her silver hair was not dyed anymore as it fell down her shoulders, many of the fears she had being wiped away with today's events!

"We have already started on the path, so we will continue. I know you have a lot of things on your plate with the dangerous Rifts only you can access...so I ask that you please let us be of use in managing this City."

Rose had a firm expression as she said this, Annalise nodding by her side as she spoke out as well.

"Don't put everything on your shoulders brother, let us help!"

The two girls saw how much time and effort Noah was putting in as they wanted to be of help! At this scene, Noah felt his heart warm up as he nodded while replying lightly.

"We'll need to oversee the status of the city, the transfer of Rift Resources that they were sending back to their continents...and lock down any knowledge of ourselves as we won't step onto the stage for now. I'll have to leave you guys with a lot of work!"

Noah was planning many things in his mind as he sorted out the clusters of information, knowing that rising in power in the shadows was a must for him at this moment as he couldn't just come out and start declaring that he had retaken Academy City.

This was because they were effectively in the middle of enemy territory, one of the more terrifying things he had found out being the fact that multiple battalions from the Dark and Wild Continent had already gone past the 10 Subjugated Cities of the Light Continent, their blades aimed deeper into the Light Continent as they wanted to expand!

"Even as we rise while surrounded by enemies...it does mean we cannot stop! The goal will now be to create a thorough base of information in this city as we find out all we can about the forces around us and the other subjugated Cities. We'll make our way towards them as we retake them from the enemies until we can finally point our swords to...the Dark and Wild Continents!"

RUMBLE!

Noah's eyes glowed brightly as for him, the battle of dominion had just begun!

Far away from the Academy City, within the Imperial Capital.

The being that had centralized his power after the passing of his father for so many years was situated upon a luminous and extravagant throne as he listened to the information of multiple Gold Blessed bowing respectfully towards him.

"Sire, we have affirmed that some of the forces of the Wild Continent are colluding with the Dark King, with many airships and battalions spotted moving past the outer perimeters of the Continent. The 10 fallen Cities...can now be considered part of the Dark Continent."

…!

A shocking reality was affirmed as the former Crown Prince nodded.

With a gaze filled with regality and majesty, he spoke out.

"Move out the prepared battalions. Show these fools that they cannot make another step into this Continent."

THRUM!

Energy fluctuations erupted with his words as the Golden Commanders in front of him nodded, the tides of war in full swing as after a few days, a bloody battle between the three Continents was about to erupt.

Neither of the powerful moving forces knew that in an insignificant City, yet another contender for the Dimensional Rifts and influence they were fighting for had risen!
