Before the representative from the Array of Stars could make his offer, Kyle told him one sentence.
"Inner World will contact the Array of Stars," Kyle transmitted.
This confused the representative. Why would Inner World contact them for this unaffiliated Seeker?
"I don't see how that's relevant," the representative transmitted.
"It is relevant. I can't give you any details. I can only tell you that Inner World will contact the Array of Stars," Kyle answered.
"Are you a member of Inner World?" he asked.
"I don't want to talk about my status," Kyle answered.
The representative felt like he had hit a wall. "Don't you want to listen to our offer first?"
"My current status makes any offers irrelevant, no matter how good they are," Kyle answered. "I can only tell you that Inner World will contact the Array of Stars."
The representative remained silent for a while. "Fine, I will inform my superiors."
"Thank you," Kyle transmitted back.
The representative went back to the other representatives. "We're done."
The representative from the Contrast Empire felt the negotiations hadn't gone as planned, but they hadn't failed either.
While he didn't know what Azure Comet had discussed with the other representatives, he could make some guesses based on how long each conversation had lasted.
The longest conversation had been with the Grand Exchange. However, it was almost certain that Azure Comet hadn't joined the Grand Exchange. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given them so many valuables.
The second-longest conversation had been with Inner World. There was a big chance that Inner World had recruited Azure Comet.
The shortest one had been with the Array of Stars, which meant that this conversation couldn't have gone anywhere. Naturally, the Contrast Empire was more than fine with that.
"Then, the negotiations are over," the representative from the Contrast Empire said. "Thank you for your time, Azure Comet."
"Thank you as well," Kyle answered.
The representatives said their goodbyes and left.
When Kyle was alone again, he sighed.
"This was tough, but I think I succeeded. The Array of Stars knows my value, and they will probably give Inner World enough Energy Stones to support me during my remaining time in the Secondary Sector. The Grand Exchange will also abstain from any votes."
"The only party that truly wants me gone is the Contrast Empire, but it won't be easy."
"I just hope I finally won enough time to comprehend my Complex Law."
Kyle returned to studying his Law, hoping everything would work out.
While Kyle was focusing on his Laws, the Contrast Empire started to become active.
First, it wanted to know if any of the other Organizations had recruited Azure Comet. While it really wanted Azure Comet gone from the Secondary Sector, it also had to be mindful of the other powerful Organizations.
The Grand Exchange gave a quick answer, saying that it hadn't recruited Azure Comet.
Inner World and the Array of Stars needed a couple of years to answer, but when their answers came, the Contrast Empire proverbially furrowed its brows.
Azure Comet hadn't accepted any of their recruitment offers?
This was unexpected. Which Seeker didn't want to join one of these amazing Organizations? The resources and opportunities available to members of these Organizations were crazy. No sane Seeker would refuse to join them.
As soon as the Contrast Empire got its answer, it proposed a rule change.
Due to Azure Comet's damaging nature to the Secondary Sector, he would be banned from participating in it. The current Organizations would get to keep their Planets, while new Planets would be pushed into the Secondary Sector to fill the void Azure Comet had left behind.
In essence, this would upgrade the Secondary Sector, as about 20% more Planets would be available than before. Azure Comet's Planet would also be kept as a sort of throne for the overlord, strengthening their authority and impact.
The Contrast Empire assumed that the other Organizations would be fine with it, except for maybe the Grand Exchange. Their representative had traded something with Azure Comet, and there was a chance that Azure Comet had gained their support.
As expected, the Grand Exchange said it liked the current Secondary Sector, but also said it would leave for now, which was quite contradictory. If they liked it so much, why were they leaving?
Shortly after the Grand Exchange gave its answer, Goldfire underwent a massive change. Golden Ember left, leaving an empty throne.
Before the other big Organizations could give their answer, the Four Dragons also underwent a huge change, which seemingly came out of nowhere.
Three of their leaders left the Secondary Sector, leaving only their Head, Star Genesis.
While the Contrast Empire didn't know the reason why the Four Dragons had restructured, Kyle knew.
Just before Swamp Dragon, Manny, and Fierce Breaker left, they visited Kyle to say goodbye.
They had actually planned to move out of the Secondary Sector quite some time ago, but they wanted to wait until Kyle was safe.
They wanted to be available for Kyle in case he needed help. After all, there were plenty of ways the Contrast Empire could mess with Kyle without breaking or changing the rules.
For example, the Contrast Empire could send a team of three Unique Crushers to the Secondary Sector. These three Unique Crushers would quickly create an Organization, send some declarations of battle, gain some Karmic Luck, and attack Azure Comet.
Luckily, the Array of Stars had told them that the Secondary Sector would be stable for a long while and that the group of friends could focus on their own power.
There was only space for one Overlord per Secondary Sector, and since all four of them wanted to become Legendary Crushers, they decided to split up.
Star Genesis would remain here. When Kyle became a Legendary Crusher, he would naturally leave, and Star Genesis would use that opportunity to become the new overlord.
The other three would go to different Secondary Sectors, which were in different periods.
Fierce Breaker would join an already established Organization in a different Secondary Sector. The Organization belonged to the Array of Stars, and its current leader was about to become a Legendary Crusher. Naturally, the leader would leave soon, and their Organization would split up. Fierce Breaker would be the leader of one of these new branches.
Manny would create his own Organization in a Secondary Sector that was in the late stages of the Chaotic Period. If everything worked out, he would become a Legendary Crusher in a couple of millennia. Sadly, time was tight, and he would need to be rather quick.
Swamp Dragon had the most difficult task. He would enter a Secondary Sector that was in the middle of the Elite Period, and he would create his own Organization. This meant that he had to carry the majority of the burden during the battles. The Organization would rise and fall with his personal power.
The five friends swore that they would form a team again as soon as they all became Legendary Crushers and split.
With Goldfire, Voidwave, and the Four Dragons losing their leaders, the Secondary Sector underwent another upheaval.
The big Organizations were assailable!
All the smaller Organizations finally had an opportunity to become one of the leaders of the Secondary Sector!
