Cranky was sleeping in his usual spot-right beside the Statue of Zion and his comrades in the Valbarra Archipelago.

After accompanying the teenage boy on his journey, as well as helping Camazotz overcome his challenge, the Honey Badger asked Thirteen to take him back to the Valbarra Archipelago.

Two months had passed since Cranky entered hibernation.

When Camazotz had triggered the lightning tribulation, it had also increased Cranky's strength and so the latter was, yet again, going through another mutation.

After eating the Majin King's Core and undergoing the tribulation, Cranky's Rank had reached the Peak of the Archon Rank.

The Death Bat, on the other hand, had reached the Peak-Rank of the Majin Prince.

A Peak-Ranked Archon and a Peak-Ranked Majin Prince were of the same Rank.

Similar to Cranky, the Death Bat had also undergone a mutation and had gone into secluded cultivation.

The Honey Badger was now a Savage Lightning Emperor.

Just as the name implied, Cranky could now use the power of lightning, increasing his overall combat prowess.

The Honey Badger was the Apex Monster of the Valbarra Archipelago, and the people treated him as their Guardian Deity.

Since then, Cranky no longer attacked the Barbarians, the Tigerkins, the Trolls, Orcs, and Ogres.

In return, they offered sacrifices to Cranky on the altar they built a few meters away from Zion's statue.

Actually, this idea was proposed by Thirteen.

The teenage boy wanted Cranky to gain the power of Faith, which would give him a different kind of power close to that of divinity.

Since the Fiend, Forneus, who once protected the Valbarra Archipelago was no longer around, Cranky took its place.

"Hey, Cranky. Are you awake?" Thirteen poked the sleeping Honey Badger's nose, in the hope that it would wake up.

Unfortunately, the Honey Badger was in deep sleep as its body spent most of its energy digesting the remainder of the Majin King's Core, as well as the power of the golden lightning that had now fused with its body.

'I guess he will only wake up once his life is threatened,' Thirteen thought.

The thought of forcefully waking the Honey Badger crossed his mind, but he tossed it aside after a few seconds.

He already woke up Cranky when he was on the 12th Floor of the Trial of Courage out of desperation.

Because of this, the Honey Badger wasn't able to properly digest the Majin King's Core, which made him very cranky.

Thirteen had no intention of disturbing his friend's sleep a second time, so he decided to return to the Order of the Apocalypse to see if Camazotz was around.

Unfortunately, the Death Bat was still in seclusion, making Thirteen sigh in his heart.

"Looking for Camazotz?" Kamrusepa asked with a smile.

"Yes," Thirteen replied. "Have you seen him?"

"I haven't seen him since his fight against Paimon."

"I see."

Paimon, who had heard her name, glanced in Thirteen's direction with a frown.

She had already been kicked by her former faction and had no choice but to join the teenage boy's group since only Kamrusepa extended an invitation.

"You look troubled," Kamrusepa said, pulling Thirteen to sit beside her. "Do you have some kind of problem? Maybe I can help."

Thirteen pondered for a while before asking the Majin Princess a question that had long been on his mind.

"The Dimensional Gates that appear in my world are either connected to Solterra or the Jinn's home world, Gomorra," Thirteen stated. "One of the continents in my world is about to face a Jinn invasion.

"What I want to know is whether any of you know who is the Leader of the Jinn Army that will appear in my world within two years. Do you have any idea who it is?"

Kamrusepa pondered a bit before shaking her head.

"There are dozens of Majin Princes and Princesses in Solterra," Kamrusepa explained. "Aside from the members of the Order of the Apocalypse, they can be considered as our rivals or

enemies.

"As you may already know, Camazotz's domain is sandwiched between three Majin Princes. Fortunately, after getting that armor from the Artemians in the battle of the Arcadia Archipelago, he managed to break the stalemate by defeating one of the Majin Princes, intimidating the other two.

"Unless he shows signs of weakness, he will be safe. Camazotz's domain is also very stable. Even now that he went into secluded cultivation, the other two Majin Princes wouldn't dare to invade his domain in fear of facing his wrath."

Thirteen nodded in understanding before asking another question.

"Kamrusepa, tell me. Have you tried to conquer my homeworld of Pangea before?" Ethan inquired.

Instead of answering, Kamrusepa only smiled at the teenage boy, making the latter roll his eyes.

"Fine. If you don't want to answer, then don't answer." Thirteen shook his head helplessly. "But help me do a divination. Since the members of the Order are not allowed to fight against each other, I need to know if the invaders this time came from our organization."

Thirteen glanced at the other members of the Order of the Apocalypse inside the room.

Since he didn't bother to lower his voice, he was certain that everyone present was able to hear them.

Some of them were even giving the teenage boy a mischievous smile as if telling him that his guess was right on the mark.

"I don't mind, but it is very hard to see glimpses of the future concerning the members of our organization," Kamrusepa said in a serious tone. "But I am willing to do it if you give me something of equivalent value."

Thirteen pondered a bit before agreeing to Kamrusepa's proposal.

"What do you want?" Thirteen asked.

"Give me the coordinates of your world," Kamrusepa replied.

This time, it was Thirteen who gave Kamrusepa a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Do you even need to ask the coordinates of my world?" Thirteen asked through telepathy.

"I'm sure that you know of it already."

The Ring of the Apocalypse had this function, enabling the members to talk in private.

There were matters that shouldn't be heard by others, or else, Pangea might encounter the descent of several Majin Princes and Princesses, which would spell its doom.
