NovelEnglishChapter 1450 New World [1]
The original goal was to stop the spread of corruption into the Heavenly World.
Tiamat and the rest did their jobs perfectly. They eliminated the incoming threat with speed and precision so that the corruption didn't get further than they wanted it to.
But they couldn't stop it completely.
The corruption began spreading the instant the Foreign Races' vanguard entered the world. There was no way to stop that.
By the time the battle ended, an area the size roughly a hundred square feet in size was left rotted. In the pure white scenery of the principality, it stood out quite severely.
When Damien came back, it was the first thing he saw.
The people who'd come to deal with the crack had already retreated to recuperate.
Tiamat and the rest were the same. They were waiting for Damien to return while entertaining those who tried to make connections with them.
It was good practice for Dominic and Darius, who were part of the ruling clan of Void Palace, but they didn't have the eyes necessary to know how to treat each and every person.
Luckily, Tiamat was different.
She could judge people well with her years of life experience, and she'd been taking time throughout the battle to see how everyone else was doing, so she knew better than anyone who to associate with and who to shun.
With her help, the two gained social skills they never thought they'd need, and even the belligerent Darius learned how to be eloquent when he needed to.

Damien saw them second, but seeing how his brothers were acting, he decided to leave them alone for a bit and study the corruption.
'It's gross.'
The ground was reddish black and flaking like polluted skin.
It had a disgusting mushy texture, and as Damien stood on it, he could feel himself being subtly affected by its aura.
'I see. Even this is an offensive tactic.'
They weren't just claiming land, they were creating traps for their enemies.
'Thinking about how many of these corrupted patches exist in the world makes me want to gag.'
Foreign Territories weren't as rare as they needed to be. It was a real concern.
Damien knelt down, putting his hand to the ground.
'Can I purify it?'
He closed his eyes and felt the world.
'I…am not sure.'
Damien could definitely do it. If he could purify the chaos in Alex's body, there was no question about whether or not he could purify such a small Foreign Territory.
This trip meant more to her than it did to anyone else, so she was definitely coming.
Of his two brothers, Damien didn't know who would be more suited for a trip like this, but…
'...Darius will probably grow more.'
His power source was a Heavenly Flame. Heavenly Flames were extremely adaptable, and even if put in a situation where the Universal Law or Heavenly Order was completely reversed, they'd be able to maintain their power.
It wasn't the same for Dominic. He'd be essentially crippled until he learned how to maneuver around the new laws.
'Alright.'
Damien just had to break the news to his brother now.
He really expected it to be a huge argument.
Surprisingly, though, Dominic was quite receptive.
He pretty much understood Damien's reasoning. He was a smart man. His intellect was one of his specialities.
Since he knew why he wasn't chosen and knew what role he was necessary for in the Heavenly World, he readily accepted Damien's plans, promising to hold down the fort while the expedition team took care of business.
With everything settled, Damien approached the crack with Darius and Tiamat.

It was dark and malevolent.
But it was also something unique.
This kind of aura just couldn't be found in the Heavenly World. Not because the Heavenly World was all righteous, but because it simply couldn't configure its laws in such a way to create it.
They stood there in silence. They weren't hesitating. They were taking a moment to digest the weight of their actions.
It had been done before.
Cracks were entered all the time.
But not in this manner.
And not with Damien heading the expedition.
This would not be something normal.
They would likely see many jaw-dropping things from this point forth.
For that, they needed to mentally prepare.
A minute passed as those who would remain in the Heavenly World watched them.
Damien looked between Darius and Tiamat, seeing them nod back at him.
With his eyes wide open in search of something amazing, he took his first step forward.
To enter the homeworld of the Foreign Races.
