The sweep continued for several days, and Divine King became a streak of golden light cutting through the deathly silent world.
Protected by Psychokinesis, he flew close to the barren ground, skimmed over deep rifts, and passed through storm zones filled with howling metal fragments.
He encountered many Sheathkin settlements along the way.
Clearly, to better control the Sheathkin, the Divine Artifact Clan had scattered the entire race and forbidden Sheathkin from different settlements from meeting one another.
