"Once this topic was brought up, it was natural that Garrison would join Geralt, but after the death of Lithlen, your father was distraught and took it upon himself to act like a guard of sorts for the two, joining them on their journey out of Valor City."
Jessup's voice echoed throughout the training room, causing Cinyah to clasp her hands and place them against her chest in worry.
After Lithlen's death, sothing changed in Rikard, and he shut her out entirely as if he had made a difficult decision without asking for her input.
Noticing the change in Cinyah's body language, Jessup decided not to speak about the reason Rikard had given him before leaving, as the man first had to convince him why he should be allowed to leave.
Unlike Geralt and Garrison, who had a school to run, Rikard only had personal reasons for leaving everyone behind. However, once Jessup heard Rikard's explanation and understood the seriousness of the matter at hand, he reluctantly allowed the man to go with the other two against his better judgnt.
"They left not long after Brance finished healing the Governess, and outside communication is completely moot with the current state of Valor City. Due to the interference of the abundant Divine Particles, there is no way for electronics to receive a signal, and even the other non-electronic ans of communication have been rendered useless."
"As it stands, the only information I can give is that the three of them made it to the security checkpoint in one piece, but outside of that, I have no idea what has happened, and without leaving the Mansion grounds, which isn't possible if I wish to keep the barrier established, I have no plausible way of finding out what has happened." Finishing his statent by shooting Cynrik, Selene, and Brance a pensive gaze, Jessup exhaled slowly, almost sighing.
"Initially, I had planned on asking you to go out in your unique Realm to gather information for , but now, I feel like you would only end up drawing unnecessary attention since I don't doubt that you wouldn't be able to hold yourself back from acting on those annoying invasive and intrusive thoughts you seem to form constantly."
"Heh, I an, you ain't wrong there. I don't see myself NOT popping into reality and dealing with so undesirable Military personnel." Shrugging his shoulders and accepting the statent from Jessup as a complint, Cynrik thought about the wasted XP that could have been consud if he chose to attack the forces put in place by those old fogeys who attempted to ambush him during the Gala.

For so ti after Jessup finished filling Cynrik in on what had transpired in his absence, idle small talk spread around the room as MyrkLys moved forward to congratulate Cynrik and Selene before it was ti to head back upstairs.
Like this, the potential tragedy that failed to co about passed, and since ti waits for no one, the days ticked by, turning into weeks.
The first change to occur was that Selene was now allowed to share a bedroom with Cynrik; however, all of the adults made it abundantly clear that so long as they lived under the Mansion's roof, there would be no… extracurricular activities allowed in the house, causing the newlyweds to seek alternative ans to relieve themselves, IE, escaping to the Shadow Realm where they could fuck like rabbits in heat.
The Second change, albeit most important to Cynrik and Selene, was that Cynrik was actively on the prowl regarding Maeve. Although he had cornered her several tis and teased her slightly, leaving her flustered and confused each ti, he never made any REAL moves and would simply walk away with a knowing smirk, leaving Maeve hot and bothered.
The third change was that, like Cynrik and Selene, Brance successfully capped his Divine Force Accumulation at 50% shortly after the Married Couple's return, and the three began training under Jessup.
This was the most significant change to occur within the Mansion in months, as one day, Jessup got fed up with constantly being forced to shield the radioactive particles emitted naturally from the three young adult's bodies from corrupting everyone living in the Mansion.
On a whim, the old man took it upon himself to teach the three, in the most brutal manner, how to contain the Divine Particles without leaking them like a cracked oil pipeline, a task which by no ans was easy for the three Peak Tier-3 individuals, as the technique he taught them, was ant to be used at Tier-6.
Conceptually, this ancient yet practical technique was used by anyone working toward breaking through to Tier-7, and as such, it was not ant for those with weaker constitutions.
However, after a lot of tweaking and so expert manipulation on Cynrik's part, a suitable version of the technique, [Internal Divine Shielding], was established and implented.
The technique was relatively simple in theory and acted like a light switch that effectively turned off their Divine Particles by storing them away from the world within the depths of their Codex.
By using the organ as a specialized bank vault, there would no longer be a risk of leakage; as such, no one would be the wiser that Three Peak-Tier-3 kids had obtained sothing that, until they ca around, was considered impossible.
But don't let the simplicity of the explanation fool you into thinking that learning and utilizing the [Internal Divine Shielding] technique was easy.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that the trio were put through hellacious training, which saw their bodies nearly breaking down or exploding regularly.
Frequently, when night rolled around, Cynrik, Selene, and Brance could be found unconscious on the ground of the training room, covered in blood and sweat.
But as the saying goes, no pain, no gain, and in the case of the married Æsir couple, their bodies continuously grew at an astronomical rate, with their Mana bodies, Codexes, and Mana Veins surging in strength to Peak-Tier-4.
The sa could be said for Brance, but the changes he underwent were a different story entirely.
As soone who had a natural "Divine" bloodline, instead of abusing the rapid deconstruction and subsequent reconstruction of his body, the biggest takeaway from the training under Jessup wasn't in the form of an increase to his body or Codex, but instead in the form of a newfound talent at manipulating Divine Particles.
From temporarily boosting his stats to increasing his damage output or defense, Brance naturally manipulated the particles. To him, it felt natural, increasing his lethality in battle.
So while the two Æsir got stronger bodies, Brance actually BECA stronger, as Cynrik and Selene still found themselves unable to cause the Divine particles to wiggle slightly even after three months of training.
In contrast, Brance could coat his body in the form of Divine Particle armor, but he could also wrap every single one of his skills in the strange and mythical Particle, utilizing it to attack with them.
Cynrik had even gone so far as to call his brother Divinity's fuckbuddy, since it was clear to him that as a Dark Varient Mana wielder, it would be a difficult task to coax the Divine particles into bending to his will.

Finally, after six months of being trapped in Valor City, the first signs of weakening ca from the bubble of Divine Particles surrounding the territory. Still, unfortunately, it was negligible at best, and in the end, the DPZ only ended up contracting a total of 30 ters from where it originally sat.
