Fifteen years later.
In only one-seventh of the original time, Green arrived in the vast, boundless void between World Clusters, near a teleportation array node secretly established by the Corruptor Civilization close to the Ironblood Galaxy World Cluster.
Perhaps the vast void between different World Clusters was simply too immense, or perhaps Green had become too powerful by now. Along the way, he encountered neither the super void storms Little Eight had described nor super void creatures comparable to several vast Great Worlds. He flew all the way here in relative peace.
The colossal void entities that had once seemed immense and vast to Green were now like the World Tree avatar of old. He could simply crash straight through them without a care.

"Have we arrived?!"
With a whoosh, Green appeared in midair. One head of the tens-of-thousands-of-meters-long Flame-Soul Myriad-Headed Bird that stretched across the void voluntarily extended beneath his feet, then lifted high, allowing Green to stand atop the countless Flame-Soul Myriad-Headed Birds.
The six Corruptor scarecrows brought out from the Ironblood Cage Trial Grounds, along with the several dozen Corruptor scarecrows who had followed the Nethersecret Corruptor, were lifted and protected by Green's elemental power as they stood behind him.
As they waited quietly, a phantom appeared in the distant void.
