After hearing from Vicente about the need for Lina to return as soon as possible, Nova tried to understand what was worrying her husband the most.
Vicente didn't tell her the most important thing, waiting to tell Nova and Layla concurrently.
While they waited for Layla's return, they talked about smaller things, like his visit to the capital of the Chutha Dynasty and to Grandis, where he had already seen Nina and Lauren, helped them recover and prepared them for the future.
"... Anyway, I'll stay in the city for a while. But it won't be for long. Maybe we'll be together for a month or a year. I don't know. It depends a lot on how the enemies behave.
But in the anti, I intend to stay here and help strengthen the defenses of our territory, with new armor and updated versions of the old robotic armor". He finished telling Nova.
The beautiful blue-haired woman understood the situation, already expecting that Vicente had failed to solve the disaster. From the look on his face, she had known since she had seen him in the garden a few minutes ago that he would still have to fight dangerous battles to solve the situation on the continent.
But she was happy to hear that Lauren could see now, and that she had fully regained her mories. That was a relief to her. The fact that Nina could hear again also cheered her up, as Nina was a sweet girl who deserved to be 'whole' again.
Not long after he had finished talking, and she had described a little of what Annie's years in his absence had been like, Layla rushed into the living room, grinning from ear to ear.
"Vicente!" She said when she saw him, running over to him and imdiately hugging and kissing him, even though she was in front of Nova.
None of Vicente's wives shared intimate monts with him in front of each other. But Nova was empathetic and didn't mind seeing him kiss another woman in front of her.
Layla didn't even realize what she had done when she parted her lips with Vicente's and looked into her husband's eyes, longing for his touch.
"It's good to see you too, Layla." He smiled at his gray-haired wife before motioning for her to sit next to Nova.
With the two sitting in front of him, Vicente let out a long sigh and explained the situation.
He explained about his powers, what happened to those who reached the Indigo grade or the Magus level, as well as the fact that he probably wouldn't be able to eliminate all the strongest enemies before he was no longer available to the continent's forces.
It wasn't impossible for him to eliminate Demien and deal with the 6th stage vampires before his ti on the continent was up. But the odds were not in his favor.
His pentagrams were too close to evolving even without him absorbing a new essence!
The re act of cultivating could qualitatively elevate him to the next grade!
After a few minutes of his explanations, the two of them just listening to him the whole ti, they both understood what was troubling Vicente.
They both felt sad at the thought of not seeing him for a long ti. Nova felt even worse, sad for herself, but also for Annie, who had little ti left with her father!
However, she comprehended Vicente's predicant. His strength need to improve, and he faced the threat of expulsion from the continent because of his needs.
This drastic asure was essential to eliminate so of the most troubleso adversaries and secure the long-term survival of humanity.
If he simply gave up cultivating to stay at his family's side, he would probably die along with them.
Neither Nova nor Layla wanted to end everything just to be away from him. They would rather he was forced to go to the Supre Continent and they and he would have the chance to et again one day!
"Sigh... So here we are." Layla closed her eyes as she turned her face to the ceiling, feeling an unprecedented tightness in her heart, her thoughts disappearing from her mind as she felt as if ti had stopped.
The surrounding sounds faded away and for a mont only Vicente and Nova were with her, everything around her losing its glow.
He sighed and shook his head. "It's terrible, but there is no alternative. Let's prepare for the worst, but it's possible that this will only be a short interval in which we won't be able to reach each other."
"What are you talking about?" Nova asked him, wiping away her tears with a white handkerchief.
He said. "The Supre Continent is a place where there are not only indigo essences, but also violet ones. I don't know how strong a 7th-stage expert is, but there are certainly 8th-stage magicians. Can you imagine what that ans?"
The two were silent, too sad to use their interpreting skills at the mont.
He answered his own question. "If there are stronger magicians there, then the mana on the Supre Continent is denser than in Polaris Realm. There must be more resources to increase one's power, which ans I'll be able to grow faster when I get there.
If what Tenglin told really happens, I'll reach the Supre Continent with 12 pentagrams and Beginner Archmage cultivation. For the strength of this continent, the influence Archmages have on Polaris Realm should be like what Earth Sovereigns or High-level Mages have there. If that's the case, I'll probably beco a high-level Magus quickly."
At this point, they thought about what he had in mind and understood what he ant.
"Do you think you can grow up quickly and try to change this connection between Polaris Realm and the Supre Continent?" Layla asked, with an unsure look on her face.
"Yes. I beca an Archmage in the Polaris Realm in just over 17 years of cultivation. So how long will it take to beco an 8th or 9th stage magician on the Supre Continent?" He looked at her optimistically.
But Nova wasn't so sure. "Maybe you'll progress faster there than here. But what if that ans that a journey of thousands of years will only take centuries? That would be fast by cultivation standards, but not to solve our problems."
"You're right. However, don't forget that I have two magical forms. One magical form can drive the other, and I have many pentagrams that can develop without limits." He smiled at her, using this trump card to his advantage.
It wouldn't be easy to reach the highest levels of the Supre Continent. But did he have to do that to get what he needed to change things for his family?
The two won couldn't disagree. They really saw sense in Vincent's words. He could go to the Supre Continent as only a Beginner Archmage, whereas it would normally take soone at Magus level to do so. So why not think that he might be right?
