Out of Customs

Swain didn't know the disturbance and changes he had caused outside, his all focus was on planting the branch of world tree. In the midst of it, he lost the track of time and everything related.

....

A period of time later, a person in deep focus opened his eyes. He landed on the ground from air and stood up. Swain looked around and saw no one was around him. His eyes fell on a dark brown illusionary branch on the ground and he smiled. He could feel himself connected to the Vanaheim, and his powers here were close to infinite. Even away from it, he's much stronger than before. Now he doesn't need to depend on Rubik cube to increase his divine power, it will continue to increase at much faster pace all the time.

But the most important and unexpected gain was the direct connection with the world tree he established. Although the process of this fusion is very long, and it may even take many centuries, but it has started. With a thought, he teleported and disappeared.

In the Royal Court, Nezit was handling the documented matters as usual. With the recovery of divine power, Vanaheim has truly started to change. Although there is not much the bloodline of original Warner people left, but there are still quite a few people. Many races have started to recover. The Earth gaints which only could use a litttle power of Earth in the past as a symbol, have now truly started to manifest their powers like frost and flame gaints. Most of the water species which were only left in the name in the past have started to reappear.

At this pace, there may even be someone who might awaken divinity in the future, although the chances are close to none and it might even take thousand of years, if there is an element of luck involved. Because even in Asgard, the awakening of divine power is not easy and only a few people would awaken in centuries.

Suddenly a blue teleportation circle appeared. The guards were alerted and even Nezit took out his weapon, but the person who came out of the circle was Swain. Swain appeared and saw that everyone was alert, he then remembered that he usually doesn't use teleportation in the court, so that's why they must be alert, But he still said with smile.

"You have forgotten even your King already."

Nezit saw that it was Swain who appeared, he immediately placed back his weapon and bowed with the rest of the guards, "Your Highness, I am sorry for the disrespect. You haven't come out for quite a time now, so we thought it was someone else."

Swain who was in a happy mood was suddenly stunned and a word caught his attention, he looked at Nezit sternly:

"For how much time was I absent?"

"Your highness hasn't left the the palace in last 9 years."

"So its nine years.." Swain thought about the time he told to his friend, and there was a sense of urgency now. For him, nine years may not matter, but on Earth, it is a person's one tenth of lifespan. He was a little guilty thinking about the promise he made. He said Nezit:

"I am going for something important. We will talk later."

Nezit was confused, his Majesty was going away again when he just came back. So he asked:

"If his Majesty doesn't mind, then may I ask how long will it take?"

"Don't worry, I am just going out for a few days this time." saying that, Swain teleported to the location of spatial caves connecting the nine relams. Although he can now perform ultra long teleportation, but it take quite a long time and he also doesn't want to alert the supreme mage. He is now not afraid of Supreme mage, but it is still very difficult to play against someone who uses time stone. So he used his previous easy and crude method. Looking at the space cracks in front of him connecting the nine relams, he entered Atrium.

...

In a quiet and peaceful lake, a person appeared suddenly. Swain looked at the place where he always meets with Liam, he smiled. The place is same as in the past and not much has changed.
