The battle in Australia was terrifying. Technologies that were not revealed appeared. Hybrid techs surfaced, and a loud announcement challenging the Lost Primordial echoed out throughout the city.
Aside from this, a Pioneer was targeted, and even though the Pioneer requested to be rescued, he was ignored. And to the Aragarians, this incident should have been something that would demand two or more Presiders to investigate.
But none of these happened. As Seeker predicted, the Aragarian's was alarmed by another incident and immediately shuffled to fix the damage. Pridgeon, who was in Australia, had no choice but to leave the country and move in haste to the Middle Eastern region.
The Presiders ignored various events, and Australia wasn't the only country to have this treatment. Battles and skirmishes all over the world were ignored because a more incredible and shocking change occurred in the Caliphates.
I was supposed to dive right into what Lowengren was up to but realized that most of you would have probably forgotten the events and backgrounds of this chapter. And I wasn't very clear on what was happening so I decided to do a bit of a summary of what happened.
After all, these chapters were way back in chapters 168-185. Which is nearly a HUNDRED chapters back.
So this serves as a recap, a 'behind-the-scenes look' at what was happening, a way to answer all things implied but not explained in chapters 168-185, and to further I emphasized Alean's progression in her Skill.
The last part of this chapter actually uses the dialogues in the second half of Chapter 171.
I admit that I messed up with the flow of information on Lowengren's side of this story. So I am making up with the scattered plots with this chapter.
