Hercule, Dietz, Izanami and Nephthys walked in the ship as the door closed off.
As soon as Dietz reached the cockpit, the Absalon began taking off and flew into the sky, much faster than it was before.

Later, at night.
At the Kingdom of Majesty.
The griffin gathered around in the village with a pile of bodies sitting in the center of the place with Caspar's remains added to the pile with the three priests, Lut, Hud and Nuh standing around it as Lut held a lit torch and Hud was holding the eulogy. Even the villagers who were sick were there as they were cured along with the knights.
Balthazar and Melchior were standing in front of the castle with Mekat, Hatan and Sekhem standing nearby.
"Tonight, we gather to say goodbye to our beloved people who died fighting to keep us safe. Brave warriors, they were, to the very end, their duty to serve, over, it is. And forever, we will hold them to our hearts and join Horus in Aaru." Hud said.
Lut walked to the pile and lit it with fire, the bodies began burning with smoke reaching the sky.
The families of those knights were crying while the knights bowed to the dead, paying their respects.
Hatan placed her hand on Sekhem's shoulder who was staring at the burning, it was unknown what he was thinking right now.
Balthazar and Melchior looked equally sad.
"...Sorry, I truly am." Balthazar muttered.
"...Had a feeling that Caspar din't make it. Accept it, I just couldn't...now that we know, free from torturing ourselves about his whereabouts, we are, atleast." Melchior sighed.
"A lot of damage has been made, repair what's been broken, we shall. Melchior, when will our war against the dead end? Is there any hope?" Balthazar asked.
"...For the longest time, the answer, I din't know." Melchior said.
He looked up at the sky, looking at a distant star that was flying away from the hope.
"...But, after today, perhaps some hope, there is." Melchior said.

Somewhere in space.
Cyndass flew past a rather small planet as he let out some coughing noises and spat out the orb from Gryphon and tossed it into Cleopatra's grasp.
She removed the saliva and looked at the shining orb.
"...Finally, I managed to get one. All that remains is to recover the one those bastards from Universe 2 stole from us and gather up the rest. We'll be heading to Uraeus to pick up the next orb." Cleopatra said.
Cyndass, for some reason, was silent, getting Cleopatra's attention.
"Is there something wrong? Are you still exhausted from that battle?" Cleopatra asked.
"...I...I have second thoughts when it comes to my home planet, it's been so long since I left that place...I'm not sure if I could be able to face the dragons again, not after what happened." Cyndass said.
"We will not be there for a reunion, we will find where the orb and get out as fast as we can. Is that what you are worried about?" Cleopatra asked.
"...Perhaps." Cyndass said, sounding uncertain.
"...You don't sound sure." Cleopatra frowned.
"I'll be fine." Cyndass said.
He turned his head to Cleopatra.
"As long as you are safe, that's what matters and we will get your family back, I promise." Cyndass said.
Cleopatra smiled slightly as she nodded in response.
"Right." Cleopatra said.
"Get some rest, it will be some time before we arrive on my home planet." Cyndass said.
Cleopatra nodded again as she put the orb in her dress's pocket and rested her head against his warm back as Cyndass went back to contemplating his own thoughts, feeling something in his gut.
"...What is this feeling? Why do I feel a sense of danger when I think about Uraeus? Could it be my guardian instinct trying to warn me about something?" Cyndass asked to himself.

In Universe 5.
In the Augustus continent, inside a familiar hotel.
The Omnipotent of Artefacts, Ali, was inside a hotel room, looking out the window, holding a cup of juice as he looked at the sky, noticing a few dark clouds despite the nice weather outside while there was a negation crest connected to the room and outside, there were two ISP agents standing close to the door to keep an eye on him in case any of the pirates or the assassins from 2 would appear to pick him up.
"...Eugh, can't believe I have to be confined in this dump being watched over by those dullards in blue while all those groups are out there hunting down accursed artefacts, just having to stay here and pray to the Gods for things to be better hasn't helped me at all and why should I start now?" Ali grimaced.
With his attention to the window, he accidently spilled his drink into a vase with a rose inside it, accidently ruining a good flower which had a listening device on the back so the agents can hear what he is saying, frying the device, whether this was intentional or not it was unknown.
"...Well, looks like I'll have to fill up my cup again and pay for the rose." Ali sighed.
He placed the cup down, taking off his jacket and threw it on his bed as he walked to a mirror and looked at himself, placing his hand on his chin.
"...There is no way I can just stay on Earth after everything that happened, especially when I have a prize on my head and when everyone will eventually learn of my power, a lot of thugs will be after me, trying to use my talents for their own purposes. Nah, once this mess is over with, I'll need to move into a new world entirely, perhaps partner myself with a person or two and maybe make some fortune by selling cheap artefacts to a few markets in a few worlds...hopefully if there will be any worlds left if those goons get their hands on those orbs first." Ali sighed as he walked away from the mirror and decided to get some sleep.

And now, back in the Absalon, a few minutes after it left Gryphon.
Everyone was inside the cockpit with Dietz behind the wheel.
"Man, it feels good to be back in this ship again, it almost feels like home." Dietz said.
As soon as Dietz reached the cockpit, the Absalon began taking off and flew into the sky, much faster than it was before.
