The journey back to the Star King World took far less time than Caelus expected.
Their return trip was smoother than before, although the starry sky still gave them plenty of opportunities to test their growing strength. Along the way, they encountered three more Space Worms, each roughly as powerful as the one they had fought earlier.
With their increasing familiarity with Spatial Flight and their seamless teamwork, none of the battles lasted long.
Each Space Worm gave them another 50 Combat Score through extraction.
By the time they returned, Caelus had reached 375 Combat Score while Sylvia had reached 370. Both of them had crossed far beyond ordinary Origin Lord territory and were now aiming toward the realm above it.
Lesser God.
Caelus looked forward to that step more than anything else.
