The Central Domain Great World was bustling with people and in utter chaos. Many powerful figures seemed to have returned, something that had never happened before in a world that had enjoyed peace for countless dimensional years.
Mino surveyed everything around him curiously. He saw many people like Orumba, all Liberators, as well as others whose bodies contained even greater power. Like him, they were Controllers, though they were keeping their power restrained.
Yet all these people were hurrying about with grim expressions. Clearly, something major had happened in the Central Domain Great World.
Merlin took Mino straight to the Central Domain Controller Alliance. The place, usually sparsely populated, was now crowded, so Merlin, Orumba, and the others attracted no attention when they entered.
"I'd like to turn in a mission."
Merlin spoke directly to an elder of the Controller Alliance. After learning the details, the elder summoned Mino and used several methods to verify that the mission had truly been completed.
Finally, the elder gave Merlin a strange look before saying, "Please wait a moment. For a reward of one Dimensional World, we need to notify Lord Dillon."
He had barely finished speaking when he seemed to hear something. His expression shifted slightly, and he turned to Merlin with a solemn look. "Controller Merlin, Lord Dillon wishes to see you!"
Nothing within the Central Domain Great World could escape Dillon's notice. He had known the moment Merlin entered.
Clearly, Dillon had something to discuss with Merlin but did not want to reveal his identity publicly. He was using Merlin's mission submission as a pretext to meet him.
Merlin understood. He gave Mino a few instructions and asked Orumba to explain the basics to him, then followed the Controller Alliance elder to where Dillon was waiting.
