<h4>Chapter 2167 Back to the Empire?</h4>


    After leaving Aurae and the other elves, Minos returned to the city where the Continental Tournament had taken ce.


    After months, his party was still waiting for him, so it was time for him to reunite with his children and wives and finally return to the ck in Empire.


    It would only take him a few minutes to cross the area between his current location and the city where his family still resided.


    Arriving there, he went to the building that had been assigned to his group. He noticed that the surrounding area was tranquil.


    But that was to be expected. After all, the tournament had been over for months, and almost all of the participating groups had already returned to their states to make final preparations for the arrival of the aliens.


    Even some who had been interested to see what Minos would do after receiving his prize gave up after the second month, feeling that something was wrong and that it might not be worth the wait.


    Only Julian and Callie had stayed with the group that hade with Minos from the ck in Empire.


    ...


    Arriving at the ce where his family was, Minos found Julian and Callie waiting for him.


    "You''re still here, huh?" He said, surprising the two, who were already starting to worry.


    Callie looked at Minos, and a smile broke out on her face. "So?" She asked with great trepidation, wondering if she would really get the chance to reach level 100.


    Julian looked at Minos silently and gave the young man room to speak.


    Minos said. "You will apany me to the ck in Empire. I''ll see what I can do, and if I seed, I''ll give you the chance to do what we agreed."


    "If you seed?" Julian wondered what kind of problems Minos had in mind.


    In other situations, there would be a lot ofpetition against Minos for this prize, and there would definitely be high-profile fights.


    But in the middle of the Ice Age, with the day of the aliens'' arrival drawing nearer, few would risk themselves against him. So maybe Minos had another problem in mind, something that worried Julian.


    Minos smiled. "Yes, my vision was a bitplicated. That''s why it took so long. But there is a chance. I will try it soon after I pass through my state, so it would be best if she came with my group.


    If I''m sessful, she could go into seclusion in a few months to move up a level."


    Callie didn''t care if there was a risk of this going wrong. At least she had a chance, so she quickly agreed. "All right. I''m ready to leave with your group whenever you want."


    Minos looked at Julian and asked. "Will youe with us?"


    "No, I''m going to join the Council Elders to make our final preparations for the war." Julian sighed.


    "Then this is goodbye for now. I hope to see you on the battlefield." Minos said as he shook hands with such a man.


    "Me too. I hope you seed and Callie gets the chance. That would be worth a lot to the Spiritual World."


    With that, Julian soon left while Minos and Callie made their way to the ck in Empire''s spaceship, which his group quickly boarded to continue their journey home.


    Seeing his family again, Minos reassured everyone of his dy before giving his soldiers permission to fly the ship back to Dry City.


    ...


    A few weekster...


    After a long journey, Minos'' party finallynded at the army headquarters in Dry City!


    The journey back from Elves Ind had been a little more dangerous than the journey out, which was natural, considering that the chaotic phenomena caused by the Ice Age were getting worse by the day.


    When their partynded in Dry City, the Stuart family was fully reunited, with Minos reuniting with Gloria and Abby after months apart.


    "Congrattions on your victory. That will give us even better options for starting the war of worlds." Abby told her husband as she hugged him.


    "Yes, of course." Minos looked at her. "Anyway, let''s meet back at our house. I need to talk to you about a few things before I leave to take care of some business."


    "Oh? All right." Abby said as she made room for Gloria while she went to talk to her son, Kendrick, who had taken a chance and had a lot of fun at the Continental Tournament.


    Gloria had already congratted Sarah on her aplishments in thatpetition, while the rest of the family who had remained in the ck in Empire took the opportunity to talk to the two young people.


    Everyone was very proud of Sarah and Kendrick''s performance.


    Many had doubted Minos'' words decades ago when he said he wouldn''t enter the Continental Tournament as apetitor because he wanted to be a gamble and train his children topete.


    But his words proved more urate than even the most optimistic of his men at the time hoped.


    With that in mind, some of the top men couldn''t help but see Kendrick and Sarah differently, while they even saw Hollie, Rowan, and Lily differently.


    ''Hollie has the same ability as His Imperial Majesty and His Highness. She''ll probably be as strong as them in the future.'' Dillian thought, imagining that the Stuart family would have another member capable of using the ck hole and Minos'' techniques on the same level as him.


    Hollie had an innate ability simr to her father''s, even morepatible with Minos than Kendrick.


    As for Lily and Rowan, Lily had the most different innate power of anyone in her family, ming Titan, a variant ability derived from the powers of Minos and Isabe.


    Rowan had inherited the ability that was a mixture of Ruth''s and Maisie''s abilities. This ability made his body so strong that his mere presence was enough to intimidate people of his level, and a look from him could knock out weak-minded people. His regeneration was as fast as his mother''s, which made him a born warrior.


    Maisie and Oswald looked at Rowan and saw the heir to their abilities in this young man.


    ''Unfortunately, this young man won''t be able to fight in theing war. He could make a great difference on the battlefield if he were already a Spiritual Sage.'' Oswald thought to himself, aware of the power of an heir to his abilities.


    Cases like Rowan''s were not umon. Children could often inherit the powers of anyone in the family.


    Anyway, soon, all the crew members of the empire spaceship went their separate ways. Callie was led to where she could wait for Minos, and he went to his pce to talk to the most important people.


    He wanted to talk to the core of his family about all that had happened, get some rest, go to the Spatial Kingdom to analyze his people''s progress, and then search for what he felt was his calling.


    He only intended to deliver Callie''s Divine Medicine after all that to disguise the fact that it came from his Spatial Kingdom.


    Anyway, he would soon continue with these ns and let his family know what had happened in thest few months and what he intended to do from now on.


    Now, there wasn''t much time left, and it was time for all the specialists of the empire to concentrate on getting as strong as possible for the arrival of the aliens!
