While Corey remained in the Evolution Center, nurous events had occurred in the Underworld, and majority of these events were related to Corey.
The first major event that occurred was the abrupt end of the Shattered Dinsion of the Old Ones. This was due to Corey's actions on the Stairs of Ascension.
Due to him removing the Omni-Weapon Infinity Crystal which was actually the core of the Stairs of Ascension, the Stairs of Ascension was destroyed and this shook the entire Shattered Dinsion and even the hearts and minds of those watching in the Underworld.
Because the Stairs of Ascension crumbled, a lot of things occurred. The first was that the Throne ran mad and lost control, and this made it possible for Eryndor Castiel and the remaining Chosens to kill the Throne because it acted more on its rage and emotions.
After the death of the Throne, the Shattered Dinsion beca engulfed in darkness because the source of light that had shone on every corner of the Shattered Dinsion was the Stairs of Ascension.
The Shattered Dinsion was already a chaotic place, but with the destruction of the Stairs of Ascension, the abominations beca more powerful and they began rampaging around, causing countless deaths of both Tainted and Chosen.
A major issue that occurred after the destruction of the Stairs of Ascension was that there was no easy access to the portal that led outside the Shattered Dinsion.
Although Corey had unknowingly destroyed the Stairs of Ascension, what had not been destroyed was the portal that led outside the Shattered Dinsion. However, reaching the portal without the Stairs of Ascension was not easy at all.
The portal remained in the sky like a swirling black hole that threatened to devour the entire Shattered Dinsion. To reach the portal, one would have to fly towards it but the closer a person got to the portal, the greater the resistance one would face.
It was much easier climbing the Stairs of Ascension compared to flying towards the portal. Because of this, the number of Chosens and Underworld prisoners that were able to escape the Shattered Dinsion after the death of the Throne were fewer than expected.
The elders and guardians of Chosens who struggled to reach the portal were outraged and they tried to force the Underworld officials and the Clown to rescue their Chosens from the Shattered Dinsion, but the Clown's response to their threats and fury was just a laugh and a few mocking words.
"Isn't this more fun to watch?"
So elders and guardians tried to force their way into Shattered Dinsion but they were ruthlessly beaten to the point of death by the Clown, which left the Chosens in the Shattered Dinsion stranded.
Because of this, nurous Chosens and Underworld residents died and failed the Battle of Chosens, causing most Chosens to feel imnse resentnt and fury towards Corey after they learnt of his actions from their elders and guardians.
anwhile, Corey did not know this, but his instincts which warned him that things were no longer going to be peaceful for him once he left the Evolution Center was very correct.
In fact, at this mont, nurous elders and guardians of the Chosens were observing and waiting for Corey's return from the Evolution Center.
----In a certain room in the Amphitheatre, two n sat across one another with a table in between them. If Corey were here, he would recognize one of the n as Ryan Houtz, as for the other man, he's an elder of the Supre Sword Sect.
"Are you certain that you'll be able to convince him to join us?"
"Compared to the others, the chances are not too low, Elder Finn." Ryan Houtz replied while tapping his finger on the armrest of his chair with a deep frown on his face.
"How high would you say the chances are?"
"Forty percent if I'm being optimistic, twenty-five percent if I'm being realistic."
Elder Finn sighed when he heard this. He held the topmost part of his nose, and then he spoke, "That's not high enough."
"Well, I'm just saying. Yes, we fought together and all, but he did not strike as a good person. If anything, whenever I looked at him, it felt like I was looking a machine... A person without emotions and feelings... A heartless person."
"His eyes were way too calm and indifferent for him to be a human. Even his Intent felt... Emotionless."
Elder Finn raised his brows, "I thought you said his intent was Axe Intent? How did it feel emotionless?"
Ryan Houtz rubbed the back of his head while furrowing his brows, "Well, I shouldn't say his Intent felt emotionless... It just felt... bland."
"Bland?"
"Yes, bland. It felt like he didn't understand his Intent or what path he wanted it to take. It felt just like him."
Elder Finn stroked his hairy chin and then he released a sigh, " Well, from the looks of it, it's most likely that he'll choose to stay with the Heir of the House of Divine... The heir outsmarted all of us by choosing to co here as a prisoner, the information he has on the Underworld is more than ours and the people he has in his group are extrely talented and unique individuals."
Ryan Houtz furrowed his brows slightly, "But the House of Divine isn't here, which ans that they can't purchase him from the Underworld."
"Even if the mbers of Divine's group wishes to join his family, the House of Divine needs to purchase them from the Underworld or they'd be forced to join another organization no matter what."
Elder Finn shook his head lightly, "Divine is the heir of the House of Divine, he can represent the House of Divine and if he has the money, he can buy all of his team mbers... And maybe even himself."
Ryan Houtz's eyes widened slightly, "Surely the House of Divine wouldn't be so stupid to give Divine so much wealth? What if he died or he lost the wealth?"
Elder Finn shrugged, "You might not know, but it's said that Divine is the most talented kid to have ever been produced in their family. They say his affinity and talent for fla and ice magic is above all. Not only that, they also say he's comprehensive abilities is extrely high and so is his tactical acun."
"A nobody cannot just be given the na, Divine, in the House of Divine... He's also the reason the House of Hellfire and so other hidden organizations have not been able to destroy the House of Divine."
"Basically, they trust him... Maybe even with their lives."
Ryan Houtz remained silent for a long while as he stared at the table before him, "So, should Smile Reaper still remain our top priority? Or we should focus on another individual?"
"We should, but if his price becos ridiculously high, then we should shift our focus to another target. A target that is not known by most organizations."
Ryan Houtz raised his brows, "Ohh, who?"
"A young boy nad Kiefer. I heard that he's a subordinate of Smile Reaper, and I also heard that the Supre God Empire is interested in purchasing him."
