On Treasure Island...
Odin was inside the pool, his eyes closed, but he was not oblivious to what was happening.
He could feel everything going on with the mysterious figure, the Emperor, and Forn through his spear, Gungnir, which was now with the mysterious figure.
Through the bond between him and his spear, Odin was able to follow what was happening as if he were watching the events from afar.
But...
The moment Forn suddenly appeared in the events, Odin was shocked.
He did not understand at first how his wife appeared there, and why she suddenly became a part of this confrontation.
He was slightly confused and kept thinking about it for a few moments.
Then he said to himself in annoyance:
"Why didn't you stay in Asgard, Forn?"
Odin sighed inwardly, then continued to himself:
"You cause trouble all the time... Can't you just stay where you are?"
It was clear that Forn's appearance was not something Odin wanted at this moment.
However...
He did not move.
He did not try to intervene in what was happening.
For he felt that the time for the birth of his new eye was approaching, and that he had to stay in his place until things were completed.
As for the continent of Mira...
Ull, Nott, and Yord had already crossed almost half the way.
The three of them were walking swiftly through the tunnel that led them away from the Dark Elf kingdom, and all that occupied their minds now was leaving the continent as quickly as possible.
They feared the revenge of the Dark Elves.
After all that had happened inside the city, and after stealing the seed and destroying the palace, they knew the elves would not easily ignore what had occurred.
But...
There was something they did not know.
The Saintess was not looking for them in the first place.
Nor was she pursuing them.
In fact, she did not even know of their existence.
For the Saintess was still in the middle of her destroyed palace, trying to figure out what happened to the seed, while in front of her were several captive groups.
Those groups included people of different races.
Among them were demi-humans, dwarves, and humans, in addition to various other groups sent by some high nobles from the continent of Mira.
The Saintess stood before them, looking at them coldly.
She did not care about those trivial groups.
She did not want to know who sent them or why they came, for she already knew.
All that occupied her mind now was one question:
Is there an elf among them?
The Saintess began to search among them carefully, using her power and aura to ensure that no individual of the elven race was hiding among them.
But...
No matter how much she searched, she did not find a single elf.
There was no one.
The Saintess's features gradually changed.
Then, anger ignited in her eyes.
She had expected to find a clue leading her to the seed, but she found nothing.
And suddenly...
She waved her hand forcefully.
And her power shot towards the captives.
Everything happened quickly, without the Saintess caring about their pleas or wailing.
Her anger had completely taken control of her.
Then she stood in the middle of the destroyed palace, her eyes holding intense anger.
She was still thinking about the seed.
She did not know that Nott had already managed to take it.
As for Nott, Ull, and Yord...
They were getting further and further away from the Dark Elf kingdom, carrying the seed with them.
And the distance between them and the Dark Elf kingdom was increasing with every step.
