Kyle and Sebastian caught up with each other, talking about what they had been through.
Apparently, from what Kyle heard, Sebastian's life was just as crazy as his. The fact that he was still alive was unbelievable.
Yet, the most surprising thing was that Sebastian managed to become this powerful while only relying on one Element. He was still only focusing on lightning.
Usually, Seekers focused on two or three Elements to create more powerful Complex Laws. After all, there was only one Level Four Law for Lightning. If one wanted to condense a Complex Level Five Law, one would either need three Level Four Laws from different Elements or all of the Laws from two Elements.
However, the way Sebastian used to condense his Complex Law was as simple as it was crazy.
He just spent an ungodly amount of resources, time, and effort on comprehending the Level Five Law of Spacetime Lightning.
Then, he infused the Essence of that Law into his Center, creating a Level Five Infused Center Law. The Level One to Level Four Lightning Laws were fused into a Level 4.5 External Complex Law.
While Kyle was an all-rounder, Sebastian was a specialist. His body was weak. He barely used his Soul. His abilities were not varied. He was not very adaptable.
Yet, he was extremely fast and had an extremely powerful offense.
Even without his Elemental, if he were still a Unique Crusher, Sebastian would be more powerful than all the other Unique Crushers in the Secondary Sector.
With only a single Element, Sebastian had become that powerful.
Kyle also learned that Sebastian had the job of Parasite as well, but it was a bit different for him. For example, he didn't have one of the Blessings. Instead, he was using the Red Witch to communicate with the Cult.
Sadly, that cover got blown. After all, the Chief Overseer had also thrown Sebastian out of the Array of Stars.
"Anyway, are you up for going to a Primary World?" Sebastian asked.
"A Primary World?" Kyle asked in surprise. He hadn't even thought about going to a Primary World, but as he considered it, he realized how going to one would solve almost all of their issues.
'That's genius! Nobody knows us there! The Peak Organizations can't get involved! Even more, if we manage to ascend, we will already be Immortals, and our auras would have changed so much that nobody could recognize us! With the two of us, we could also do much more than by ourselves!'
At that moment, Kyle remembered his other friends. At the same time, he also remembered what he had thought when the Investigator had been about to kill him.
'I really should spend more time with my friends. It's just… can I even? They're members of the Array of Stars. I'm not sure if they would be willing to follow someone from the Cult.'
'I have no idea how they will react if they learn about my allegiance with the Cult.'
Kyle imagined himself meeting his friends and them calling him a monster and maybe even attacking him.
He couldn't imagine any of them following him.
'However, I should still try. Even if I get rejected, they still deserve to know the truth. Although I know how it will go down, they still deserve to make the decision for themselves.'
"I think that's a good idea," Kyle said. "Going to a Primary World would solve almost all of our issues. It's just that I have to do some things before we leave."
"You want to ask your group of friends?" Sebastian asked.
Kyle nodded. "Yep. Even though they will most likely refuse me, I still want to give them the option."
Sebastian shrugged. "If you think so. Also, who knows? Maybe some of them will agree to join us. Would be cool to have more people."
"I'm going to contact the Lord," Kyle said. "I have no idea where we are, and I also need to plan some things."
"Lord is the title for a Seeker in the Void Realm, right?" Sebastian asked. "Isn't it weird to refer to someone specific with their Realm? It's like saying, I'm going to contact the Primal."
Kyle shrugged. "He never introduced himself. Anyway, I need to focus."
"Sure," Sebastian said.
Kyle sat down, and after some time, he managed to trigger the Blessing of the Lord.
The Lord appeared in front of him and glanced at Sebastian before looking back. "I've already heard about what happened. What do you need?"
"I'm supposed to be a Parasite, and I can't be a Parasite right now," Kyle said. "Not sure if that may cause some issues."
"There are no issues," the Lord answered. "You've given us more than we have given you. Even though you might not be able to continue working in your current position, I'm sure we can find something fitting for someone with your skillset, assuming you're willing."
Kyle sighed in relief when he heard that there were no issues. 'Every time I give the Cult some bad news, they take it in stride and say that it's fine. Seriously, why are the antagonists so nice to their members?'
"We've already come up with an idea," Kyle said, gesturing to Sebastian. "By the way, do you two know each other?"
Sebastian just shook his head.
"No," the Lord answered. "He's under someone else."
"Okay, anyway, is it possible for us to go to a Primary World?" Kyle asked.
"As long as you and your friend are still within the First Refinement, yes," the Lord said. "We have the power to send people into Primary Worlds, but the prerequisites change based on what world you want to go to and what goals you're chasing."
"Sending someone to a Primary World takes a lot of Energy. The defenses of a Primary World hold significant power. You have contributed enough to get a trip to a Primary World, but I don't know your friend's situation. The price is also different based on which world you want to visit."
"For example, if you want to visit a Primary World under the management of a Peak Organization, the price would be unaffordable for you unless you agree to fulfill a certain mission of ours in that world, like becoming the Overseer and handing the world to us."
"Okay," Kyle said, "just to make sure, when you say that you're giving us a trip, you mean sending us to a world without a goal in mind, right? As in, it's completely fine if we go there and don't do anything for the Cult."
The Lord nodded. "If you're entering a world for a mission, you naturally wouldn't need to pay. You only have to pay if you want to go there without any constraints."
"Sounds good," Kyle said. "And I have enough Contribution Points to ask for a trip to an unaffiliated Primary World, right?"
"Depending on the world, you can either go alone or take up to two additional people with you."
'So, I only have enough for Sebastian and me,' Kyle thought. 'Even if some of my friends agree to come with me, they probably won't agree if our goal is to destroy that world. They might be fine with the Cult sponsoring our trip, but they won't work for them.'
The Lord looked at Kyle and could tell what he was thinking about. "You seem worried. Have you not realized by now that we can always negotiate to find a solution we're both happy with?"
Kyle looked with surprise and a bit of guilt at the Lord.
'It might be worth a shot.'
"Is there a way I can contact my friends and take them with me, assuming they accept?"
