Even if his cultivation base was low, his combat strength was almost at par with someone at the Prismar stage.
Using his curses, the Emperor Eyes' abyssal effect, and killing intent to merge everything together, even those at the lower ranks of the Prismar stage's first threshold wouldn't pose him much of a problem as long as it remains a one on one battle!
Thus, Jason thought that he should no longer be restricted by Argos' scarce mana.
'I only have to save the Flers, question Nathan about what happened to my family, and then I'll destroy a few world bridges before bidding farewell to everything… Anna should be able to take care of herself, right? She has a new family after all!'
What Jason perceived as 'only' would cause a headache to others, but he could only smile lightly.
He had won the last two rounds of the liberation tournament much more easily than he had expected.
As such, he would receive the crystal of a lesser origin flame soon, and it was possible for him and Wisse to leave after the celebration was over.
Now that everything was over, Jason was told to change into formal clothes instead of the combat suit he had been wearing during the last few days.
After only a short lunch break, the human embassy and the authorities of the Olympus federation started a meeting to discuss the exact clauses of their agreements.
In the end, the most important was the peace agreement and the sharing and distribution of world bridges.
Mankind might be weaker right now, but they could be nurtured quickly and turned into a batch of helping hands that would allow the Olympus federation to increase the resources they could procure from other world bridges.
As such, there shouldn't be many problems.

It was a seemingly ordinary black suit with a long jacket that was embroidered with several badges, giving Jason the status of a temporary higher echelon of the human race's government.
This was pretty interesting, but not enough to bother him anymore as his mind was already fully set on his adventure to other planets!
There was so much he could see, and according to Wisse, the Ascendion stage was considered to be a stage every common race could reach.
Only then it would become slightly more difficult for the races with a weak mana aptitude to increase their rank and stage. It would serve as the starting line to differentiate the races according to the ranking Jason had heard of.
Initially, he thought that the ranking was mostly based on the ranks the different manuals a race possessed.
However, that was obviously not the case because a race's mana aptitude, overall strength, the amount of land they had claimed, and so on were other important factors that contributed to the deciding factors too.
Jason's knowledge was limited because mankind couldn't teach him a lot about the vast universe.
Rather, Jason had taught them everything he knew instead!
Other than that, the only vast stream of information he had received came from the library in Janur, where he'd spent more than a month, reading and absorbing knowledge like a sponge.
This had allowed Jason to learn a bunch of interesting facts that made him more knowledgeable than mankind.
Unfortunately, this was not enough to be even close to the knowledge of beings like Wisse, who were taught since their youth; knowledge Jason could only dream of.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})The lack of knowledge might bother others, but Jason saw this as an opportunity to bridge the knowledge gap and procure everything others had already learned.
Acquiring knowledge was something Jason liked to do, thus, instead of feeling discouraged, Jason's determination grew stronger.
As such, he was deep in thought and didn't even bother that Merl Arths was ascending in the air, pulling him with them, where they approached a small, yet extremely exquisite looking building.
Only when Jason looked at it did he regain his senses as he blurted out.
"An underground shelter?"
His Emperor Eyes perceived everything through energy fluctuations and the mana radiating from the surrounding building complex was negligible in comparison to what he saw under the ground.
Along with the authorities of the Olympus federation, his eyes scanned the surroundings to take in the view greeting him. Jason couldn't help but feel astonished after estimating the defensive capabilities of the materials used to build the underground shelter in addition to the profound runes that had been inscribed.
'The Overlords at the 2nd threshold of the Prismar stage would have problems breaking through these walls...Maybe, even Wisse with his dragon fire!'
After this, his mind went on alert mode, and they entered the exquisite building that was protected by tens of Prismar stage guardians, in addition to traps that would be activated if invaders were to infiltrate the building.
'Aren't they a little bit too scared of being attacked?' Jason wondered, only to remind himself that the majority of races belonging to the Olympus federation had been migrating races and that they had fled from something.
As such, the wounds of their past might have healed but left behind ugly scars as memories. Thus, he refrained from commenting anything for the fear of coming across as an impolite brat.
Passing the guards, the human embassy, including the God's children, and Jason entered the elevator that was the only object inside the entire building complex.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})The elevator descended into the ground and it took them less than half a minute before the elevator's doors opened once again, revealing a ginormous shelter, filled with the Olympus federation's government.
This astonished the others, while Jason, who had been aware of this was able to retain his calm.
Looking around, he scanned the mana cores of everyone around him thoroughly before he turned towards the secretary who rushed towards them.
'A secretary at the peak of the Lique stage...not bad!'
"Esteemed human embassy, I'm sorry for being late. I was told that your group would arrive later.
I'm your assigned guide, and I am responsible for explaining the most important aspects about the universal mannerisms and code of conduct one has to follow in order to not be rude!"
When Jason heard this, he was immediately interested, only for Betty to tuck on his jacket.
"Translate please!"
Only then did Jason look up to notice that the others looked at him with a confused expression, which caused him to smile dryly as he translated everything perfectly.
Because the universal language had many words that could be interpreted in several ways depending on the situation, Jason only translated the context without bothering about a word-to-word translation.
This made everything easier for both sides, and the guide turned around once he had explained the basic etiquettes the human embassy had to pay attention to in order to not come across as rude.
With the basics having been explained, the guide walked towards the direction in which Jason perceived hundreds of mana cores, including the mana cores of the higher echelons of the Olympus federation.
At that moment, Jason had a premonition, making him pray in his mind. 'Please don't let it be boring…'
