Emperor's Retaliation

While Humans were happy with what transpired, Abyssals weren't. Their plan was thwarted and it all amounted to nothing.

The eight abysses were in a state of gloom. Their rulers weren't in a mood to lift the morale when they themselves were crestfallen.

Their rage was bottled up and they were ready to start a war in the blink of an eye. But the Emperor's orders were inviolable and they had to suppress their urges.

Of course, the most disappointed and the most enraged of all was the Abyss Emperor himself.

But unlike the Abyss Rulers who turned to train madly or indulging in one thing or another to pick themselves up, he did something entirely different.

He ordered the think tanks to study all the reports and give him the crucial information.

The reports were comprehensive and included all recent developments in the cluster cities and all recent major events in the federation.
