Noah reappeared in one of the central islands of the Coral archipelago after the teleportation.
Many years had passed since his last time in that area, and he could see how the growth of the Hive had modified the entirety of the archipelago.
Luxurious and tall buildings could be seen everywhere, even on the outer islands.
Some of the larger islands had been emptied to create training spots that made use of the copying technique, but the scenery as a whole began to resemble that of Elbas city.
The Hive was striving to become the fourth big nation, it was evident that the territories under its domain would see improvements as its growth continued.
Elder Bruce and Elder Roy quickly came to greet him when the news of the arrival of the Demon Prince spread through the archipelago.
Noah noticed how both of them had managed to improve slightly, especially Bruce, but their advance couldn't be compared to Noah's.
