Chapter 1023: Two days

After the “Reset” in Limbo, it became known that the remaining two Temples probably appeared in two Forbidden Zones: The River Maze and the Ice Caves.

Elira, pleased that the Temple did not appear in the Lava Lake, collected 9790 System Points worth of candies for the baby dragon’s parents and, taking four new subordinates, flew away.

As a result, Arabel spent 13,790 System Points.

She did not regret the expense, realizing that she would receive much more in return.

As for Elira’s subordinates, they were the four Fire Creatures who had ambushed Idan earlier and were captured.

From the day they were captured, Prina had time to carefully study their memories. After that, Elira, the Flaming Crane of the Diamond Rank, invited them to join her, promising to take them to an amazing place that does not exist either on Earth or in their own world.

For Platinum-ranked creatures, Elira’s words were like a temptation, and all four of them eventually agreed.

The Fire creatures captured after the attack on the Kingdom were still languishing in the cramped cells of the Kingdom Prison, which was getting bigger every day. As the number of prisoners increased, at Sierra’s request, the Doppelgangers tirelessly expanded the prison grounds, going deeper underground.

With the expansion of the prison, Sierra and Prina needed helpers, and they became trapped Creatures of Darkness.

Since these creatures were previously enemies, they were only allowed to stay in and around the prison as a probation period.

The prison’s owner, Sierra, did not worry that her new subordinates might rebel or harm the prisoners. Her eyes were everywhere, and three loyal partners besides herself were watching over everyone, inspiring fear and awe.

But the prisoners were waiting for their turn, when Prina’s four little hands and her desire to dig into their memories would get to them. At the same time, the Kingdom’s knowledge of all five elemental worlds and information about the current situation of the other three continents expanded.

Most of the survivors of Rezkar’s ambush have already recovered.

However, the situation with Nathan, Hazel and Hayley remains unclear. None of them have woken up yet.

After learning about the waves of beasts, Rachel, leaving her husband in charge of the Kingdom, took her Guild members with her and left him to join Idan and the others in defending the cities.

Arabel did not try to stop her, realizing that she was following her principles and chosen path, although it was still hard for her to leave her husband. Making Arabel think about what she would do in her place.

Arabel decisively stopped her guild members from joining the defense of the cities. Idan and the others were successfully completing this task, and besides, there was a danger of another ambush on the guild members.

Arabel had been watching Irene and her condition especially closely these days. According to her observations, Irene was almost back to normal, although Arabel noticed some changes in her behavior compared to how she was before the ascension test began.

Irene used to be cold, single-minded, and power hungry. She rarely smiled. Now she smiled more often and spent more time with her son. From time to time, she looked around as if she was looking for or waiting for someone.

“Is she really looking for Arslan and waiting for him?” — this question often arose in Arabel’s mind as she watched Irene.

Outside the center of the kingdom, where most people lived, the beasts that managed to obtain the seeds of law began to consume them. The Kingdom itself, which has the sources of all the elements, provided them with support, supplying them with energy.

The beasts that were unlucky enough to obtain the seeds of law gathered around these beasts, attracted by the fluctuations of law and the abundance of the elements in the area.

“I wonder how the absorption of the seeds of the law will affect them,” Arabel mused as she approached Geminia’s “strange” house.

The door creaked open, welcoming her. Inside, she found Geminia, who had managed to settle into a new place these days and began to go out often.

“Arabel, have you come?” — Geminia greeted her with a smile.

“Have a seat,” she suggested, pouring tea into a second serving. Besides tea, there were snacks on the table prepared by Sofia, which Arabel had heard Geminia liked.

Yes, Arabel was here for a reason. She received a message from one of her Doppelgangers saying Geminia wanted to meet and talk to her.

“How’s Bera?” — Geminia asked, holding out a cup of tea.

“She has learned to control her desires more or less, and although I have been using my Avatar ability too often lately, her consciousness is gradually strengthening,” Arabel shared her observations.

This was partly due to her other versions, who, as promised, took care of Bera’s mind while she used her ability. They didn’t let her personality dissolve and disappear.

Instead, Bera’s consciousness even grew a little, and she became very attached to Pink, Black, and Silver Arabel.

“I also notice how Bera is changing and moving further and further away from her kin, like Ned,” Geminia agreed.

“Dan accepted Ned as his little brother and even gave him our last name,” Arabel shared with a smile, recalling how happy Ned was about this.

Geminia always smiled when it came to Ned. For her, Ned was the first of many who gained independence and was still developing.

If the others were something like a copy of her that appeared as a result of division, then she began to perceive Ned as her first real son.

She was looking forward to seeing what other surprises he would bring her.

After a short conversation about Ned and Bera, Geminia finally decided to voice the reason why she had called Arabel.

“I invited you here to inform you that besides Bera, there are several more descendants who have awakened the instincts of the formless race to procreate. Interestingly, they all signed contracts, and this happened thanks to the direct actions of those with whom they signed these contracts.”𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Arabel blinked in disbelief, not understanding the meaning of Geminia’s words.

Seeing that Arabel didn’t understand, Geminia decided to explain directly.

“Some people started using my descendants for their sexual interests, which awakened the instincts of the shapeless race in them.”

“What? Are you saying that someone is fucking with Doppelgangers?” Arabel blurted out, unable to hide her amazement at this absurd news.
