With Aster Grant's return, everyone felt as if they had finally seen their backbone.
After a round of greetings, Zane Drake laid out before Aster the greatest problem currently facing the Human Race that they had just been discussing.
"Aster, now that you've taken control of the Divine Pattern, do you have any way to let us old guys..."
"Comprehend it faster!"
"The Human Race is beset by crises right now; we can't place the entire burden of our people on your shoulders alone!"
Hearing Zane Drake's words, Aster was stunned for a moment. He pondered, then slowly spoke:
"Drake, I actually planned to deal with this in a while, but since you've brought it up..."
Aster's gaze fell on Zane Drake, Cavan Vero, and the Queen of the Holy See.
At present, only these three within the Human Race had reached the Half-step Totem Level.
However...
Now Abel Vance and the others were only a single step away from the Half-step Totem Level.
