His words caused a milky white light to explode from all of the Diamond Experts as they looked carefully towards Noah's party, the Crown Prince locking eyes with his sister at this shocking situation as Noah waved his hands.

With a single wave, 10 of the Subjugated Diamond Commanders from the Dark and Wild Continents appeared behind the party of the Dimensional Rift Bosses as Noah pointed to them.

"The ones from the Dark and Wild Continent have already fallen. Now, it is time for those in the Light Continent."

…!

BOOM!

His words caused an explosive white light to be released from the Diamond experts of the light continent to erupt even higher, the Crown Prince looking towards the Ethereal princess who should have been dead as he called out while looking warily towards the shocking being on top of a Dragon!

"Rose, what is this?! Why would you ally yourself with an enemy in bringing right to our doors?!"

At this bellow, Rose only shook her head slightly as she didn't even bother to speak. She remained on top of the Luminous Unicorn along with Annalise as their heir bodies were brimming with manna at the gold rank. The battle about to occur wasn't one that could yet help in, and they were here to observe the shocking actions in front of them!

As the seconds passed, many of the experts that had been spread out across the periphery of the imperial city to prepare their Legions to advance...all of these experts now made their way to the skies where horrendous auras were wildly erupting out.

They all rushed out as soon enough, the full number of Diamond experts that stood opposite to Noah and the two girls after a few seconds were seventeen.

Seventeen DIAMOND Blessed!

Such a number would have made it tough for the forces of the Dark and Wild continent to pierce through the defenses of, especially when these beings were the ones that were regularly clearing the only diamond rank dimensional rift within the entire Ethereal Realm!

But even with all of this considered, when putting into account the rows of Dimensional rift bosses...what exactly could they do?

Against 8 Rift bosses that were the equivalent of 80 Diamond Blessed, the answer was the same shocking result that occurred when Noah faced the Dark King and Alexander with all of their forces.

A scene very similar to what occurred just hours prior began to play out in front of the Crown Prince as the enemy displayed the shocking power of his Rift Bosses against 17 Diamond Experts!

---

"...!"

It felt like time was moving in slow motion before the eyes of the Crown Prince.

Aside from him, not a single being in the battlefield on the skies knew that the current him they were seeing was actually just Clone.

None of them knew that the Crown Prince's main body was back in the imperial castle as his expression became grimmer and grimmer when he began to see the battle power that the terrifying Aether Dragons displayed, along with the instantaneous movements of the Luminous Unicorns and the horrendous support abilities of the Paladins of Light paired up with their deadly Hammers of Glory that scorched the skies and caused any Diamond expert contained within their blast to lose nearly all of their defenses with a single attack.

Within the imperial castle, the crown prince truly did not know what to make of this shocking development of this new and overly powerful enemy rising out of nowhere as he now floated in the skies of the imperial capital and he defeated powerful beings left and right!

At the end of this battle, this random being that he had never met would most likely be the winner of this battle as he would stand upon the same throne that he had obtained after so much hard work!

This random being that returned with his own little sister that he had discarded long ago to initiate the war that would help him solidify his reign...

He clenched his fists as he continued to see through the eyes of his clone the ridiculous power that the calm being standing on top of a purple colored Dragon continued to display.

'Why?'

Why!

This question repeated over and over again in his mind at this moment!

All that he wanted to do was to be like his father, to look over the entire realm as the Ethereal Emperor, to know that there were no enemies in one continent or another that opposed him.

He wanted to win this war with strength and dignity as he brought the forces of the dark and the wild continent to his side!

With this he could have repeated what his father did tens of years ago- he could have formed multiple teams powerful enough to clear that dimensional rift within the city many times as they increased the chances of obtaining the rare treasure that only his father received. The rare treasure that let him touch the ranks of Platinum as he became the Ethereal Emperor...

This was what he wanted!

Just to make all the experts within the realm bend to him as they explored the dimensional rift over and over again until another Platinum Ranked expert rose!

But...

The situation before him told him that he would not have it.? As his clone gazed upon the ten diamond ranked experts that came from the Dark and Wild continents, he was able to recognize their faces...but not the expression within their eyes that was simply blank.

As time passed, the terrifying being standing atop the dragon merely waved his hands as the tattered bodies of his own people, the tattered body of even Protector Chen uncontrollably flew towards him and he made these powerful experts kneel before him, a bright blue light erupting out before seconds later...these same beings stood up and bowed towards him as if he was their new master!

A shocking scene!

A terrifying development!

It was a scene that someone who had been working behind the scenes to make things happen for so long could not bear! As the crown prince saw the increasingly deteriorating situation, as he saw his own sister standing calmly as expert after expert from the light continent fell to the hands of the enemy that she brought here...his emotions became twisted as an intense light bloomed from his eyes.

His body within the Imperial Castle disappeared deeper into this exquisite structure.? He made his way across the castle as he appeared in a small room that very few beings had entered in the past tense of years.

It was the study that his father commonly used to use, the study where nearly all of his personal belongings were left in when they found out that he had perished!

The day that his Father had perished...he remembered it as if it was yesterday.

When the Ethereal Emperor left to go explore the vast stars, he left behind a single Communications Medallion that he would routinely send news through or talk to his family. The Crown Prince held this medallion and was among the few people that had access to it!

On the day that the Ethereal Emperor perished, this medallion had blazed with intense light as his father had been able to leave one last message before he perished!

The Crown Prince went on the table of the study as he grabbed a crystal that held a unique recording function, putting mana into it as a recording that was taken a long time ago played once more.

"Aldrin! Oh and the little Rose! Everyone else that I left behind...I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I never thought things would turn out this way. I never thought how vast the gulf of power could be outside our realm!"

RUMBLE!

"I? never thought how chaotic the starry stars could be, and I never would have expected how vile people could be! I...I offended a force that I shouldn't have, and their people are currently chasing after me.? If I don't make it back, if you don't hear from me again...consider me dead! If it is not my voice that comes through from this medallion when it is activated again...do not reply. Please...do not reply. Otherwise, they will even find my home...they can't-"

…!

That was it!

The last moment that his father spoke, and the last words that the Crown Prince and the Diamond experts of the Light Continent had been able to hear.

It wasn't too long after that. Merely minutes had passed since his Father's message when the Communication Medallion activated yet again, a voice coming out of it. But this time, it wasn't his father. It was a cold voice filled with calm and regality, a voice that seemed to consider everything below it to be less than nothing as it came out calmly!

"Hello."

THRUM!

"I've got the body and limbs of a so-called Emperor here in my hands if anybody wants to recover them."

…!

"Hello?"

A dreadfully playful voice that caused chills to all who heard it, causing the Crown Prince and many others to clench their fists in anger and grief as they heeded the words of the Ethereal Emperor!

That was...until today.

Until at this time point when the Crown Prince caused mana fluctuations to erupt out as a certain medallion came to float beside him!

His expression...was that of grim resolve as his mana moved forward!
