Nick looked around his floating base from where he was standing before deciding that the coast was clear before walking towards the building a short distance away. ironically no sooner than he took a step forward he felt a pair of thin arms wrap around him from behind as well as the squishy and soft mountains pressing onto his back. nick froze from the sudden contact but he stopped himself from lashing out violently like his body wanted to since he had a pretty good idea of who it was hugging him from behind. "you are finally back." a familiar voice spoke softly from over his shoulder. nick grabbed the arms wrapped around his c.h.e.s.t and pulled them off of him freeing himself before he turned around to look at the person the arms belonged to. of course the goddess in question didn't pay his stern gaze any heed since she was simply thrilled she got to hold nick even if briefly. "you could have greeted me normally you know." nick said to the goddess sternly. she paused for a moment in her self delight and looked at nick with a huge grin. "but then i would have missed out on such a golden opportunity." she said unapologetically.

"As true as that may be you know that i prefer to take things slowly ." nick said acting upset even though it truly didn't bother him that much since it was the goddess who had done it. the goddess shrugged her shoulders at nicks acting since after having spent a good amount of time near him she could read him pretty well. "i'm not sorry." she said with a giggle. nick shrugged "i figured , so what has happened since i left?" he asked while enjoying the paradise like environment that his purification array produced in this failed pill land he lived on. the goddess thought for a moment before answering "well that old monkey sun showed up a few times below a day after you left trying to figure out where you had vanished to before i told him that this floating base was in a secret location and that you went to some inheritance land and he left and hasn't been back since." she paused "also the demons have settled a medium sized kingdom near the coast so most of the remaining humans are trying to fix the damage done to the areas that the demons abandoned after their rampage."

Nick was surprised that the situation with the demons had settled down in the time he was gone since he assumed it might take a few years. "ah , right i almost forgot but there was a group of students who had came into the swamp below apparently looking for you or rather the array you used to change the environment into a cultivation holy land according to their conversation." the goddess said seriously.
