Upon their return to their howorld, the heroes found themselves in an extrely foreign yet futuristic environnt.
They thought that it might not be Earth, or perhaps, their journey to the otherworld might take a different tiline than Earth. They were sure it hadn't even been six months since they were summoned to the otherworld. Still, their howorld had already beco so futuristic with many high-tech robots and chs everywhere.
Unfortunately, their suspicions turned out to be wrong. When Cube Island's AI, the Cube, popped out of nowhere to inspect the newly arrived foreign entities, it imdiately shared the information these heroes needed.
The system initially detected the disturbance and prepared to obliterate the intruders, but upon noticing the familiar divine energy registered as the master's divine authority, all obliteration chanisms were retracted as it was still the master's will. These people were heroes sent by the master, not the intruders.
Unfortunately, the six heroes were so clueless that they were nearly wiped out right after their return. They innocently fiddled with the virtual screen before them to update the recent information about the Earth.
"This is unbelievable. The Cube Island and the Guardian of Dream... are they related to the Sacred Sakura Goddess?" Mashiro gasped in shock after reading so shocking information.
"The world gained peace under the Cube Island's sovereignty. The Guardian of Dream who backed this force is truly powerful. The humanity forces and monsters alike bowed under its power."
"But, isn't this getting a bit dangerous? What if the Cube Island and the Guardian of Dream turned their backs? This peace is only temporary..."
"No peace will last for eternity. This is the best decision to handle the current situation, considering that over 70% of humanity has been wiped out by the monster invasion. Really, I want to know where those monsters ca from."
"They might be from the otherworld. The Cube Island and the Guardian of Dream handled the situation very well to prevent further massive damage. Although humanity and monsters are still hostile, they wouldn't dare to cross the line."
"But, if it's like this, I feel like our return is a bit aningless..."
Richard sighed, and it soon weighed in the minds of the others. They insisted on returning not only to their rightful holand but also because they wanted to protect their world and loved ones from monster invasions.
"Cube Island only monitors the major forces across the world. The small and dium-scale battles of the unregistered factions are still happening. The great apocalypse has been stopped, but the extinction of humanity is inevitable." The Cube responded with its robotic voice.
"Huh?! What do I an by that?" Ash widened his eyes, shocked by such a statent.
"Humanity will gradually decline and slowly beco an inferior race to the monster race. According to the data, Earth will beco the world of monsters in two hundred years, and humanity will have no choice but to move to Mars." The Cube showed the large-scale civilization developnt on Mars.
Not only that, humanity, under Cube Island's sponsorship and Minamoto Group's funding, was currently building space technology, the spaceships, to transport humanity to outer space.
"This can't be, right..." Katsue covered her mouth in shock.
"So, humanity will eventually lose and be driven out of our holand, huh..." Richard gritted his teeth.
"Well, that's in a hundred years, and we won't live that long. Also, if Cube Island and the Guardian of Dream are backed up by the Sacred Sakura Goddess, then she's helped Earth a lot. She even went as far as to create a new civilization on Mars for humanity's future generations." Mashiro raised his hand to pacify his comrades because it didn't sound so terrible to him.
"You say it like you're okay with this... So, if what you're saying is true, the Sacred Sakura Goddess probably doesn't favor humanity that much. She is just a selfish-" Harriet snorted in dissatisfaction.
However, she couldn't finish her sentence because a revolver got shoved into her mouth.
"Ungrateful lowly humans, know your place! Don't you dare to badmouth the Supre Will. Her Divine Grace is already so kind to bless this world from its inevitable total destruction." The Cube took the offense seriously.
At the sa ti, countless lasers aid at the heroes, making everyone break in cold sweat.
Nyla gulped her saliva and imdiately stepped forward to explain the situation and reconcile the situation. "Please forgive my comrade for speaking her mind out without restraint. I'm sure she didn't an it. She was just shocked."
"We won't tolerate the second ti. Her Divine Grace might not care, but we won't allow kind of you to ntion one of Her Divine Grace's divine titles with malice." The Cube threw its warning with an all-red code.
After that, it retracted the weapons of destruction and vanished, leaving only one red notification behind.
[Recover your power on the lowest floor, and then scram from the Cube Island's facility. The ships of various nations are docked at the Phylum Island below. You may return to your holand with your designated nation's ships.]
"Phew... Harriet, you almost got us killed." Nyla let out a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, I didn't an it. Who would have thought that robot took it seriously. But, we can be sure that the Cube Island and the Guardian of Dream are created by the Sacred Sakura Goddess." Harriet rubbed her jaw and mouth with a pale expression.
"Alright, let's recover so of our power with the resources given by Her Divine Grace and leave this place." Katsue urged it as she didn't dare to stay there for long.
It was like they were being watched completely, and could be killed at will just because the previous Cube Hologram wished to do so.
With that said, they rushed to the lower floor, but they had no idea of the direction. When they were lost, a lifelike humanoid robotic girl ca to them and guided them to their designated room on the lowest floor.
After several hours of recovery that consud at least a third of the given spirit stones, they imdiately got off the floating Cube Island, and landed on the Phylum Island below, heading to the harbor directly.
Many massive warships from various nations were docked there. They were initially worried because the deep sea already beco a nest to extrely dangerous monsters, and the sea route had been cut off since the monster invasion. However, they pushed their worries aside because these ships could arrive on this island safely, so everything would be fine.
"Let's stick together until we reach the nearest civilization. Based on the information I got, we are in the Pacific Ocean, a bit south. So, I think, Japan is the safest, shortest path for us. What do you think?" Mashiro proposed the idea.
"That's a good thing. It will minimize the risk. You and Katsue have the sa citizenship, so the Japanese warship won't deny us, right?" Harriet tapped her chin.
"I'll take care of it. I'll ensure they'll let us board their ship." Nyla replied with a thumbs-up.
She went to the Japanese warship with her comrades, t the nearby soldiers, and soon talked to the person in charge.
After getting permission from the commander, they boarded the ship under supervision for security reasons. However, they still had to wait for a day because the Japanese elite force had not finished their business on Cube Island.

anwhile, Elysia left Phylum Tower after picking up Ophelia, the Multiform Jelly Queen, and Althea, practically her half-incarnation and baby. This blessed mother-daughter would rule over the monster race on Earth under their command.
Upon her return to Earth, Althea was the first to notice and greet her arrival even though she hid her presence well. This adorable future queen of the monster race was just that sharp, or maybe, it was because of their spiritual bond.
Althea reached out her tiny arms, and her purple eyes shimred with pure joy. With a giggle, she clung to Elysia, nestling into the warm embrace like a cherished child reuniting with a beloved family mber.
They just went to visit several overlord monsters to 'greet' them, but the other overlords were terrified by them. Therefore, after scaring the other overlords across the Pacific Ocean, they went directly to the mainland.
Elysia drove the car, but the sleeping Althea clung to her so tightly, not wanting to let go.
By her side, Ophelia looked at her with a gentle smile, filled with warmth. "It has been a long ti, My God."
Elysia reached out, gently caressing Althea's fluffy little ears before smiling. "Not too long, but long enough to miss this little one."
"Goddess Ely, papa..." Althea mumbled softly in her sleep, rubbing her cheek on Elysia's shoulder.
"E-eh? I'm a papa now?" Elysia blinked her eyes in surprise. She glanced to the side, wondering what Ophelia had taught Althea.
"!~" Ophelia only responded with an innocent smile, pretending not to know. It was purely spoken by Althea, and she never taught anything about father figures to her precious baby because she was all her baby needs, and their God too.
"Hehe~ That's because mama took the role of papa on Earth with the identity of Young Master El." Miko couldn't help but laugh in amusent.
"Hmm, is that so?" Ai recalled about it, but she was sure Elysia never appeared as Young Master El before Althea.
"Hmm..." Elysia also recalled about it, but she didn't bother with it.
