Chapter 148: Back To Martial Sanctuary
The next day, Igaris and Shirley returned to the Martial Sanctuary.
On the other hand, Evernight remained behind to oversee and defend the Overlord’s territory during his absence. She was not alone, however. Alongside her stood a formidable force of 6000 Acquisition troops and 5000 newly subdued World Divers, now bound in loyalty to Igaris.
Shirley, standing beside Igaris as they before a Dimensional gate, found herself once again stunned.
"So You’re saying that you can move between Dungeon Worlds freely now?" she asked, blinking charmingly.
Igaris gave her a sideways glance and a small smirk. "More or less. It’s a new ability... and it’s made things easier."
Shirley didn’t respond immediately. Her heart was already accustomed to racing whenever she was around him, but now it seemed she needed to build an entirely new threshold for shock.
As their feet crossed the Dimensional gate to the Martial Sanctuary, Igaris and Shirley instantly synchronized with their surrogate bodies—Yuhan and Tian Yue.
A faint ripple of soul resonance passed through the realm as Igaris’s essence reclaimed the warrior frame of Yuhan, while Shirley’s consciousness flowed smoothly into Tian Yue.
The world had changed since their last descent. The atmosphere seemed heavier, more watchful, as if aware of the one who dared to defy fate and return.
And yet, neither of them hesitated.
They had come back not just as challengers, but as Sovereigns bearing a new purpose.
