"As always" Okeanos stood at the very forefront of the nition in hih Volantis did stand next to Okeanos and, notably, the Geist did too

"It is time, no? For us to conquer the world!" said Volantis with boo excitement

The horde had been made well aware that it was soon tiain Back out in the real world For in just eight hours, Aldrich would get shi+pped on a plane out to the hearing

"Gehgeh! (All the flowers are here! I got theh of eyeflowers The eye shaped flowerheads blinked as they listlessly stared at Aldrich, a bough of defor as a present were it not for the Geist's childlike earnestness

"Thanks, I'll ood use of this," said Aldrich He put the eyeflowers away into his inventory This was the final ingredient for Fler'Gan to create hispotion "Now then-,"

Aldrich directed his gaze over all the horde, looking down at them atop the upraised platform that held his crystal throne "I told you that the one who collected the most floould become the leader of this horde The Geist has all ten Tell me, all of you in the back, why did you fail?"

Aldrich's words reached Crab, Meriant ht flower pickers"

Crab clicked his pincers in agreeruffly responded "Gorok-Hara Morlo-Rish (I am unfit for such lowly labor My fishmen failed me) He waved histheir heads in shath Or, in Merman's case, backseat leadershi+p that basically amounts to laziness," said Aldrich

"Gorok-Vim…(I do not move unless needed…)" said Mere your personality But I a you that because of that, the Geist won I want you all to acknowledge that despite being weaker than any of you, the Geist gets a seat as the leader of this horde along with Okeanos," said Aldrich

"That's fine Try to see if you can use ic later on" Soon, Aldrich estier Hopefully, the Geist could use the Dark Wisdoh that was not guaranteed

"You're already way too strong And you get stronger by yourself You don't need ive you power," explained Aldrich

"I see" Okeanos hung his head down in disappointment

"Raise your heard, hordeleader!" Volantis slapped Okeanos's back "Itto be ashamed of!"

Okeanos nodded, heartened by Volantis's words

"The genie is trying her best to restore her wishes She says it will take a hundred years at least She coet rid of her," said Okeanos
