Miko was in the middle of his training with Momo when he had a sudden visitor.

“Yo, Miko.”

It was Raven.

He walked with his mother following behind him.

“Raven, it’s been a long time.”

Miko said.

“It’s been long for you but for me who has lived for countless years it was like we last met yesterday.”

Raven replied with a smile.

“What made you come all the way here, Raven?”

Momo asked.

“There’s an emergency meeting among the top members of Primus Branch. I’m here to call you two over.”

“An emergency meeting?”

Miko asked.

Raven nodded.

“The Tertitus, Quartus, and Quintus Branch have all made landfall on this continent.”

Miko and Momo followed Raven and Gallu and went back to the Xia Palace.

When they got there the throne room was filled with members of the Dragna Clan.

There was Nero, Ravel, Falcon, his children Verde and Chika, Rihan, Aeon, Sasha, and even Kimiko was there as well as Leon and the twins.

Kroc was still out searching for Momo's mother.

“Oh, Grams you’re back.”

Miko said as he walked in.

“Yeah, I just came back. You look good.”

Kimiko responded with a smile.

“Miko!”

Ravel ran up to him and hugged him. She started to throw him in the air like he was a doll.

“I missed you! No one really wanted to play with me!”

“Well, considering that you might accidentally kill them I kind of understand.”

Miko said while being treated like a doll.

He looked over at Rihan who was watching him with amusement.

“You’ve finally decided to return to the Primus World, Uncle.”

Rihan chuckled.

“I had some business to take care of, so I couldn’t return home right away.”

“Is that so? And you, Father?”

Miko looked at Leon.

“Were you helping him out?”

“That’s right.”

“I see.”

Miko took note of where his father allegiance laid.

“Well, I heard that the other branches are approaching?”

He asked.

“That’s right and that’s why we need to prepare.”

Nero answered.

“For what?”

“War.”

“What?”

“You see the Five Branches have never really been on friendly terms since 10,000 years ago. In fact the relationship among us got worse over time. There are countless incidents where we killed each other. That includes the leaders of the branches as well.”

Nero explained.

“If I remember correctly you killed the last Secundus leader, Gamiko.”

Said Raven.

“Yup. He deserved it but it’s because of incidents like this that we must prepare for a possible war.”

“I will not tolerate a war.”

Tiamat suddenly appeared and said.

“Grandmother.”

With Tia’s appearance everyone was put on edge.

“Grandma!”

Ravel leaped towards Tia and started to rub her face in Tia’s chest while she hugged her.

Tia patted Ravel’s head while she kept a serious face.

“I will not tolerate another foolish war among my grandchildren. If you all still decide to go to war with each other, I’ll destroy all Five Branches indiscriminately.”

“?!”

Her words shocked everyone present.

These weren’t a request, this was an order from their progenitor.

If they went to war then the Dragna Clan would be no more.

“Hmm…..Destroying all Five Branches would put me in a dilemma, Tia.”

Said Miko.

“I invited the other branches to make the Clan whole again, I want to use them to solidify the empire once I build it after all.”

He lifted a finger.

“How about this? Whether the branches have clashes here and there or not, I’ll be the one who decides their fate.”

“….Why?”

“Because the more pawns I have at my disposal the better. If you destroy them I’ll run out of pawns before you know it.”

“Are you calling my descendants pawns?”

Tia asked with an upset tone.

Miko nodded without fear.

“However if they’re nothing but idiots who can’t see the benefits of coming together, then they’re not even worthy to be called pawns.”

A cold look appeared in Miko’s eyes.

“At that time, you can just eradicate their blood traits.”

“Oh? That’s a pretty interesting suggestion.”

Tia replied.

What Miko suggested in away was more cruel than killing them.

If she eradicate their bloodline they would lose all of their powers that had to do with their genetics. For most of the clan that would mean losing most of their strength.

And the ones who would be effected in the biggest way would be the current branch leaders because of their pure blood.

They would lose their strength and had to start from the beginning again after thousands of years.

“However, don’t do it unless I give the okay, got it? It’s okay if they fight a little bit, there are family after all. Which family doesn’t fight every now again? Only when I’ve determined that they’re a lost cause you should erase their blood traits.”

Tia nodded.

“Okay, I'll work off your judgement.”

‘Hm….?’

Rihan silently observed the way Miko and Tia interacted with each other.

He noted their expressions, the tone of their voice, and their body language. After some thought he came to a conclusion.

‘I see….So that’s how it is.’

He smirked.

‘They’re in love with each other. This is quite interesting.’

A malicious light flashed in his eyes.

“I could use this in the future.”

He mumbled.

“Gamiko.”

Falcon suddenly spoke.

“Who are the current head’s of the Branches?”

He asked.

“Alexus, Echo, and Andreas.”

Nero answered.

“I see. Then conflict is unavoidable.”

Falcon said with a sigh.

“You and Andreas can’t get along, while Rouge and Alexus are always at each other’s neck. As for Echo….She’s a free spirit who can annoy anyone.”

“Then what’s the plan?”

Kimiko asked.

“Hmm….well preparing for war might not be a good idea anymore. So let’s just wing it.”

Nero answered.

“There’s no point stressing over the inevitable. We’ll just adapt as the situation develops.”

“Well, that fits our style more than anything.”

Said Rihan.

“Then it’s decided. The Primus branch will just go with the flow.”

Nero declared.

*Boom!*

At that moment the Primus World suddenly started shaking.

“Looks like they’re here.”

Said Nero.

In the Secundus world, everything was being shook vigorously.

“The idiots are here.”

Rouge said with a scrawl.

Celina appeared beside him.

“Lets go.”

The Primus and Secundus worlds weren't the only thing that was experiencing powerful tremors, the Dragna kingdom was feeling it even harder.

“What’s happening?!”

The citizens immediately started to panic when the country was plunged into chaos.

Miko and the rest of the Primus branch appeared on the capital city walls and stared off into the distance.

“Seriously, can’t the people in this clan learn how to be subtle?”

Rouge appeared on the city walls as well with the rest of Secundus Branch.

Even Alisa, who was nova’s wife was there with her two sons Christian and Kouta.

“Subtle? I don’t think anyone in this clan knows what that means.”

Nero joked.

“This isn’t a laughing matter, Gamiko. This place could be a battlefield soon.”

Said Rouge.

“You say that but you look ready to crush them with everything you have.”

Nero pointed at his mouth.

“Don’t tell you didn’t notice the battle crazed look in your eyes along with that devilish smirk on your face.”

“I can say the same about you. You already have your Qi Artifact on your waist.”

Rouge pointed at the jet black sword that was on Nero’s hip.

“Hahaha. Insurance. This is just insurance, nothing more.”

Nero laughed as he tapped the sword on his waist with his hand.

“But, I can’t say I wouldn’t like to settle some old scores.”

He muttered with a low voice.

“They’re here.”

Said Kimiko.

Miko looked and saw something approaching in the distance.

“A giant dragon? No, it’s mechanical. A robot?”

The dragon quickly approached and stopped just above the capital city.

“Wha?!”

This naturally caused the unknowing citizens to panic.

“This is the Tertitus Branch’s base, Drogon. The Tertitus Branch are famous for breeding countless genius alchemists and inventors. It’s a branch of scientists.”

Rihan appeared next to Miko and explained to him.

Miko looked at him and frowned.

“What? I thought that you would be curious about the other branches.”

Said Rihan.

“Well, thanks for that. Then I’ll make full use of your knowledge.”

“No problem.”

Miko stared at the dragon robot that was flying in circles over the kingdom.

That’s when he noticed that the noise in the city was increasing.

“Gallu.”

“Yes.”

Gallu appeared and placed her hand on Miko’s shoulder.

“People of the Dragna Clan, there’s no need to fear! These people aren’t our enemies, they’re returning members of the Dragna Clan! You may experience some shocking developments today, but I urge you to remain calm!”

Miko’s voiced echoed to every corner of the kingdom as he made his announcement.

It was only after they heard the voice of their king that the people started to compose themselves.

“Oh?”

Inside Drogon, Alexus looked at Miko with surprise.

“Just him talking was enough to calm the people. This boy seems to have the whole kingdom in his palms.”

“He’s as interesting as I told you right?”

Alec said with a satisfied smile.

“True. But I don’t get why are you so obsess with him. You’re not someone to hold others in regard after all.”

“That’s a secret.”

Alec said in a playful tone.

Miko sensed something and looked in the opposite direction.

There he saw a bright pink light heading towards them.

“A pink shooting star?”

“That’s the base of the Quartus Branch. It’s piloted by their guardian beast Lahmu’s Proxy. By the way, the quartus Branch doubles as a vigilante organization called Star Rose. They operate mainly on the God Continent, but they have members scattered all across the world trying to help as much people as possible. Because they’ve saved countless people they have an immense amount of allies who would come running to help them if they’re in trouble.”

Rihan explained.

“Vigilante? They’re the opposite of us who making a living assassinating people.”

Said Miko.

The star paused in front of the capital.

“Oh! Look! The walls are so beautiful!”

Echo who was at the tip of the star said with sparkling eyes.

Miko then saw a giant ship approaching from the horizon.

“That’s the Quintus battleship Hell Blaze. The Quintus Branch doubles as a famous Militia that rampaged through the Beast Continent. They’re known for their 100% accuracy when it came to completing the jobs assigned to them. They complete them using any method at their disposal no matter how heartless it is. Hiring them is like hiring a group of demonic beasts to fight your battles.”

Rihan explained.

Miko could see Andreas cooly staring down on the kingdom.

He glared at him in return.

Rihan saw this and smirked.

“With this, all the actors have assembled. I wonder what kind show will you all show me?”
