Jibril charged straight at him. Looking at the Ren Isana she hadn't seen for thousands of years, she shouted angrily, "Where are my magic books!!!"
This damn guy had just run off. She had waited for five thousand years! She had already flipped through the magic books Ren Isana left behind so many times they were practically falling apart. Even though those Elves had managed to derive a fair amount of magic from them...
It was nowhere near as exciting as the contents of Ren Isana's personal library. His collection contained magic from other worlds — completely different systems! She had missed them for five millennia.
To Ren Isana, it had only been a few minutes, but she had lived through five thousand years. Do you have any idea how she spent those five millennia?
Seeing Jibril's fierce expression, Ren Isana rubbed his chin and said, "You've recovered, I see. And it looks like you've managed to tinker around and produce quite a bit from the magic I left for you?"
Ren Isana could sense many interesting things coming from Jibril. It seemed that over these five thousand years, the magic he left behind had been developed quite well. This was truly interesting.
"Of course! I've derived many powerful spells based on the magic systems you left behind. It's just a pity that those scraps of metal refuse to teach me the [Holy Spear]. Otherwise, I definitely could have created something even stronger than [Heaven's Strike]!" She spoke with great pride when mentioning this.
She had been researching for several thousand years. The Elves were also researching, and with the mindset of not wanting to be outdone, she had put in a lot of effort. Since they could no longer fight whenever they wanted, this was the only way she could compete with them.
They had even placed countless bets. However, ever since Think Nirvalen went into slumber, not a single one of the Elves was a match for her. That woman was still hoping to see Ren Isana again.
After Ren Isana and the others disappeared for a century, many Elves entered a self-imposed slumber, all for the sake of waiting for his return to witness the magic of a new world.
While the two were talking, other Flügel began to arrive one after another. Azriel, leading the group, saw Ren Isana standing with Jibril. A complicated look flashed in her eyes, and after a sigh, she stepped forward and knelt on one knee. "Master, all Flügel follow your command."
Ren Isana was somewhat surprised by this scene. These Flügel had actually come around? It looked like they intended to acknowledge him as their master. This meant he had effectively gained a powerful army in this other world, didn't it?
Thinking of the things the God of War had handed over to him, it was no stretch to say he was now the second-generation God of War. Artosh had likely given the Flügel some final command before the end.
"Rise. You should continue doing whatever you usually do. Once my world is integrated with this one, you can go over there and take a look. I won't restrict your daily lives," Ren Isana said, understanding their thoughts about acknowledging him.
Upon hearing his words, the Flügel stood up one after another. Jibril reached out her hand again and demanded, "Give me the magic books! More advanced magic books! You've already made me wait for five thousand years!!"
Ren Isana rolled his eyes at her demand but didn't refuse. He reached into his Spatial Ring, took out several magic books, and handed them to her.
Jibril was instantly excited as she took the books. Several other Flügel crowded around, preparing to study them together. After all, the Flügel now spent most of their time researching magic.
Their endless lifespans made their daily lives quite boring. It could be said that this group was essentially a collection of top-tier researchers. Looking at the excited Flügel, Ren Isana couldn't help but fall into thought.
Should he take these girls back with him when he returned in a few days? On second thought, he decided against it for now. After all, they were created for the purpose of war.
Even if they hadn't fought for thousands of years, that battle-maniac nature was still there. Ren Isana worried that if he let them loose in a world without restraints, they would go completely wild. He would bring them along later if he encountered a world where their skills were needed.
Having made his decision, Ren Isana spoke up, "Let's go. We're headed to Avant Heim. I'll set up a library for you there and give you a copy of Beatrice's magic books!"
At those words, Jibril's eyes lit up. She hurriedly said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go right now!!"
If that was the case, it would be wonderful! she thought. She was looking forward to it immensely. With so many Flügel, they could copy all the magic books in no time if they each took one!
Surrounded by the crowd of Flügel, Ren Isana headed toward the location of Avant Heim. The Phantasm was still floating ten thousand meters in the air. Upon arriving at this city in the sky, Ren Isana couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.
If this thing existed in his world, it would surely be popular, wouldn't it? He imagined many people would be willing to live there.
As soon as they arrived, Ren Isana was pressed to bring out the magic books. He didn't refuse, directly opening a channel and having Beatrice cooperate with them to lend the books.
Although Beatrice was quite annoyed, she didn't refuse because she could also obtain the magic books collected by the Flügel. This was a fair exchange of resources.
Not long after Ren Isana left, Riku finished his discussion with Schwi and headed toward the palace of the Imanity Federation, as Corone was currently slumbering there.
However, the current Imanity Federation was a bit chaotic. He had heard that a pair of siblings had become the new king and queen, which piqued Riku's interest. They had won the throne through games, and... they were very similar to him and Schwi, except they were actually siblings.
With Tet's help, Riku and Schwi easily reached the place in the palace where Corone was sleeping. However, as soon as they appeared, they encountered three people. Both sides were momentarily stunned by the meeting.
"Who are you!!" A red-haired girl instantly bristled. This was the most important place in the palace! How could anyone dare to break in? One had to remember that their forefathers were slumbering here.
She had brought Sora and Shiro here specifically to see the forefathers of the Imanity Federation. Generally, outsiders were not allowed in, and they shouldn't even be able to enter given the powerful magic protections.
"Another Nii and Shiro?" Shiro was stunned when she saw Riku and Schwi. She looked completely dazed. Aside from the different hair colors, Riku looked exactly like her brother, and the robot girl looked just like her.
"No way, clones?" Sora was also dumbfounded. He hadn't expected to find people who looked so much like them. What was going on?
Stephanie slowly snapped out of it after hearing Shiro's words. She was equally confused. And that girl... "An Ex-Machina?"
If she wasn't mistaken, the girl was an Ex-Machina. Although the relationship between the Ex-Machina and humans had always been quite good, an Ex-Machina wouldn't normally just show up here.
"I am not a clone. We are from five thousand years ago!" Riku said, a strange look flashing in his eyes as he looked at the two. What a coincidence — was this another version of himself? He could feel that Sora was the same kind of person as him.
"Five thousand years ago?" Stephanie cried out in shock. At the same time, a legend that circulated among the Imanity came to mind. When the One True God was born, there was a pair of Ex-Machina spouses...
They were also among the ancestors of humanity. Originally, it wasn't Lady Corone who obtained the humanity piece, but her younger brother. However, her brother had been forced to leave due to certain events.
"Um... excuse me... are you Lady Corone's younger brother?" Stephanie asked hesitantly, her heart racing with tension.
If it was truly as she thought, the world of the Imanity was about to be turned upside down. Their ancestor had returned! And they were here to wake Lady Corone, weren't they?
"That's right!" Riku nodded without denial. His gaze turned to Sora and Shiro, and he beckoned with his hand. In the next instant, the Humanity Piece flew out from Sora's person and landed in his hand.
"This piece... I was the one who handed it to Corone back then." Five thousand years... to him, it felt like only a few minutes, but Corone must have waited for a very long time.
This move immediately made the three believe Riku's words. Sora and Shiro, in particular, knew very well what that piece represented. Without its recognition, no one else could take it.
Now that it was confirmed, things became much simpler. It didn't take long for Riku to see the slumbering Corone. He looked at her as she lay quietly in a crystal coffin, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Corone's appearance hadn't changed at all, she even looked younger, and her clothes were more beautiful. However, Riku could see the signs of hardship on her face.
Back then, for the sake of humanity, Corone must have done a great deal. Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt at peace enough to sleep. Thinking this, Riku couldn't help but ask, "Did the Elves say how to wake her?"
Corone was in a deep sleep, but Riku honestly didn't know how to wake her. He had to ask the person who looked somewhat similar to Corone.
In response to Riku's inquiry, Stephanie hurriedly said, "Lord Think said that if we want to wake Lady Corone, we need the Founder of Magic himself to come and undo the spell..."
Riku was momentarily stunned by those words. He turned his gaze to Schwi and said, "Schwi, help me check if this crystal coffin is connected to anything. I suspect Think's coffin is also connected here. If this place is unlocked, she will also wake up over there..."
Riku strongly suspected that Think Nirvalen had done exactly that, with the goal of waking up at the same time Corone was revived. Because... this whole setup was a trap to catch Ren Isana, used to confirm his return.
Hearing this, Schwi began her scan. In a short while, she obtained the answer she was looking for. "Riku, your guess was correct. Furthermore, there is a teleportation spell here. If activated, whatever is connected on the other side will be teleported here immediately."
Having obtained the answer he wanted, the corners of Riku's mouth curled up slightly. As expected, the Elves were still thinking of Ren Isana. With that thought, Riku used his bracelet to contact Ren Isana. It was better to let him handle this kind of thing!
