Re:Immortal

-Back in the mortal realm.-

Three streams of light were cutting through the skies illuminating them as they passed. Dina was in the lead with a serious expression on her face, while Silas was to her right following closely behind, Mace was to her left with a drunken look as usual.

"We are almost there." Said Silas.

"En." Dina simply nodded in reply.

The trio was heading towards the mountain of the beginning, where the giant array that connected the mortal plane to the heavenly realm's Gate was situated.

After Omis 'cleansed' the gate, its function was now back to normal. Though only celestials are able to freely use its functions to travel between both realms while mortals can not.

As the group made their way towards the mountain, they were surprised to see it empty with no cultivator waiting there. It was strange indeed especially since Omis first made his public appearance there, add to that the frequent sightings of Immortals.

A lot of the mortal cultivators ended up setting their camps on the mountain as they offered their prayers to the heavens in hopes for guidance from the celestials.

"It seems they are still nervous about war." Said Silas.

"That makes sense." Answered Dina with a nod. Although the fight was over, the mortal cultivators did not know the details, hence almost all of them remained holed in their sects and clans in fear.

"Whew, they sure we're flashy." Chuckled Mace as he glanced at the giant statue of Omis and Addi that was erected in their honor.

"Omis is after all the Immortal Mentor." Replied Silas with a shake of his head, this much was only normal.

Soon, the group found themselves standing at the peak of the mountain, the teleportation force surrounded them causing their figures to blur as their visions swam.

A pillar of light seemed to descend from the heavens gently touching the peak and shrouding them all within it. A few moments later, the trio's blurry figures reappeared within the heavenly realm.

"Halt!" They were quickly greeted by a few 'Hive' soldiers who were left to guard the gate.

"Identify yourself, and state your business!" Yelled one of the soldiers, his voice carrying a hint of nervousness.

Before the group could say anything, one of the soldiers frowned as he glanced at Silas before his eyes widened. "Master Silas?!"

"En." Silas nodded in surprise, he didn't think he would be able to recognize him, yet thinking about it he had fought alongside several 'Hive' members in the previous battler so it wasn't impossible for someone to identify him.

"Forgive us for our rudeness!" Saluted the soldier, he was one of the many who were present in the battle against the 'outsiders' though his battlefield was different from that of Silas, he was still able to recognize him from when he flew alongside his lord and master Omis.

"No matter, we have urgent news to report to the heads of the factions." Calmly said, Silas.

The soldier bowed respectfully, his companions following suit after him. "Safe flight master Silas."

"En, we'll be taking out leave." With that, Silas alongside Dina and Mace turned into three streams of light that shot towards the capital.

-Back in the Divine Capital-

Omis, Krano, and the rest of the group were seated around a round table in an isolated meeting room. While Rolus, the monster butler was respectfully standing behind Krano's chair, Lacess with his giant body on the other hand was resting on the floor instead of the chairs, his eyes were closed as he appeared to be sleeping.

Addi had a frown on his face as he spoke. "I still don't understand what's the problem? I said i'll do it." He spoke in a serious tone.

"You are too hasty, that's exactly the problem." Replied Tizzy with a shake of his head.

"Too hasty?" Addi's frown deepened.

"Basically means he is afraid you'll end up accidentally killing them and we can't afford that since we only have those two." Answered Omis as he tapped Addi's shoulder trying to comfort him.

"Hmph." Addi simply harrumphed annoyed at the entire ordeal and refrained from speaking any further.

"But then again if not master Addi then who will be in charge? None of us is a master of extracting information." Sighed Beri.

The situation was more than a little bit special, they had to tread carefully. The news of the two outsiders being captured had remained confidential and the group planned to keep It that way for the time being.

The people present at this table after all were considered the leaders of the two factions. Although each and every one of their cultivation bases was unfathomable, none of them was a professional when It came to the 'art' of extraction information, hence their current dilemma.

As the group's discussion continued further, a sudden knock on the door made them pause. Krano frowned, he was sure that he instructed them that they were to not be bothered.

"My lord! Master Silas and the 'Alchemist' request audience." Came the voice of a soldier from behind the door.

Krano turned to glance at Omis and the rest who then resolutely nodded, "They are to be trusted."

With a wave of his hand, the doors suddenly opened as Silas alongside Dina and Mace stepped inside the room.

They gave a respectful bow, even Mace who usually always had a drunken look on his face seemed to sober up. Everyone present here was a God-ranked cultivator, and although they might be close to some, respect was still only proper due to their difference in strength.

"Greetings master Krano." Dina was the one that took the lead this time and greeted Krano before turning towards the other 'Hive' members and giving a swift but respectful nod.

"Please." Krano ushered them over towards the empty seats around the giant round table.

"I carry urgent news..." Said Dina as she glanced at Omis before looking around the room.

"Don't worry, no one can spy on this room. It just so happens that we have an urgent problem that needs to be taken care of as well." Chuckled Omis.

To that, Dina smiled before nodding, she then stepped forward and summoned a corpse of a dead master 'Hunter' on top of the large table.

"Well then if you'll excuse my rudeness, I shall try and keep it brief." She said.
