After 200 years of living in their own bubble, humanity was finally dragged back to Yamani due to their own negligence. Without their knowing, they are returned to the order of life of their ancestors. Humans are back to being slaves who can be enjoyed by all kinds of creatures. One year later, they realized that they were a small part of the humans who lived in that layer of soil, while the rest were still living safely on Earth. The announcement from the Queen awakens the fighting spirit of the old soldiers who want to return to their sins and save humanity. Without being able to realize that all of that is part of the great destruction that will come to them. The battle within the seven layers of hell has finally begun.
This is already the third day Kintan has been waiting at the Green Waters. After arriving in the area, she quickly searched for the latest news to gather information, and finally found several events that had been missed since she was unconscious.
Kintan finally knows that it was Arta who saved her. The circumstances that were spread through the news were truly appalling. Apart from having her naked body shackled to the Pole of Sharing, she was also made a spectacle for countless creatures, and luckily, Arta's rain of blood saved her. If it was even a little late, maybe she had already been eaten alive by those creatures.
She finally fully realized that her vague memories were not dreams, but real events. She began to remember that her body at that time was completely limp. It seemed that if she was eaten alive there, she would only be able to feel all the pain in silence, without being able to scream, without being able to call for help.
A few days after the incident, the latest news came out about the chaos that occurred in the Rose Garden. A human fugitive was caught by Lingga, Candrassa's subordinate, at the night festival that was taking place on the roof of the Rose Garden. The human is then thrown into the Lake of the Stars and is considered dead now.
She clearly knew who the human fugitive was. The news about Jane being caught didn't come as a surprise to her, but the possibility that she had died from being caught directly by Lingga and thrown into the Star Lake could be true.
Even though she still couldn't believe it.
Kintan was silent, reading all the news. That means, in the past few days, crazy things have happened to fugitives like her. Maybe she wasn't the only one who panicked because of the announcement from the Hindia, maybe some of the old fighters felt the same way. No one can be sure that they are really alive or dead. After all, all this time, Kintan has never believed such news, unless they livestream the deaths of her comrades.
Well, Jane isn't dead. It is possible that she who was saved will not be able to survive and die. No one could have guessed that.
In any world, the media do like to make blaring news even though, in reality, what is happening is not that big.
Realizing that Putra had not returned since she came here, Kintan finally decided to send her crystal butterfly. She ordered the butterfly to spread to all corners of the soil layer and find Putra. The butterfly might not be able to send messages quickly, but usually it already knew who Kintan wanted to send a message to, and it could easily find the figure, as long as he was still on the touchable layer of soil.
If Putra is in the forbidden earth layer, it is in the bottom three. Kintan probably won't be able to find it. They had lived in this layer of soil for a year, and had been trying to develop their strength in order to sneak into the lower layers of the soil.
But everything seemed so impossible.
She didn't know how to enter it.
"Finally found!" Kintan muttered excitedly while putting on a bright smile.
They finally get to meet too.
In a different area, Putra and Clarissa are still walking around on L-07. This time they were desperate. The search to find Jane on L-07 was to no avail. They couldn't find Jane at all in any of the corners of the subsoil. Apart from the fact that the two people did not have any clues, now Jane is also equipped with the ability to see the portals of the visible world. She knew when Putra and Clarissa were coming to look for her, and she could immediately hide.
After all, Jane and Renik also knew this wilderness much better than anyone else. They know where to find the safe holes that used to be nests of snakes, caves that are often used for asceticism, trees, shrubs, and rocks that sometimes hold a little puddle that can hide their slender bodies.
The wilderness on L-07 is too wide. Not many creatures were able to get around there without getting lost, the only way out was to fly if they didn't know where to go. Jane and Renik, have memorized the route in the forest very well. The wilderness was like a playground for them.
Give up on not being able to find Jane either. The two people finally arrived at the gate of the portal that divides between another layer of soil to another layer. They decided to go out through the normal path, no longer using Clarissa's portal to move around because it took a lot of energy. They may need a little rest to get their strength back, and then they can get back to thinking about their next plan.
"What would we do without Jane?" Clarissa finally asked Putra.
He said in the past, the only way was through Jane if they couldn't find Kintan. Then if Jane, who is only human, is so hard to find, what other ways can they do to meet Dirga?
"We should probably look for it ourselves."
"Do you have any idea where we should look for it?"
Putra chuckled upon hearing that, "Obviously not." Clarissa sighed softly at the reply.
When Putra and Clarissa were about to enter one of the portals, suddenly a crystal clear butterfly approached Putra, making the young man's smile widen when he realized whose butterfly it was. He thought he would never be able to see Kintan again, but he found the girl again.
Arta seems to have let go of Kintan. Or maybe now he could just meet Arta and Kintan? Putra suddenly became very excited after seeing the butterfly. They had hope. At least they had a much better hope of knowing Dirga's location.
"Kintan…" Putra mumbled, smiling brightly at Clarissa, "There's Kintan in Green Waters!"
Clarissa, who heard those words, immediately put on a big smile. She never thought that luck could come this fast when she really needed it. At least she didn't have to look around for someone she didn't even want to meet. This time, she could talk directly and get more information about Dirga.
She really hoped that maybe this could bring her to Dirga again.
Without waiting any longer, the two of them immediately headed straight for the Green Waters. Sure enough, Kintan was indeed there. The girl was first surprised by Clarissa's presence, but Putra quickly explained who Clarissa was and informed the girl that Clarissa was on their side.
The three, finally began to negotiate together.
