After Nathan absorbed the stone, the army began their retreat toward the military base.

With the absence of the green light, the vegetation has become completely harmless, allowing the army to travel through the jungle harmlessly and faster than the last time.

While walking back, Nathan explained to his men his experiences with the breakthrough and how he felt right now. They heard attentively to every word that came out of Nathan's mouth, not wanting to miss anything,

Every phrase could be the key to reaching a cultivation level even higher than Nathan's, so everyone stood quiet and patiently listened until he finished.

After that, he answered some of their questions and exchanged theories with them.

There wasn't anyone close to his cultivation yet, so it would have to pass some time before he could compare with other people, but the ideas from people with lower cultivation could still be helpful for him.

While he was talking, he realized his senses had become much sharper. His capacity to feel energy had significantly increased, so it felt as natural as hearing noises or seeing things for him.

After the tree's destruction and the green light's disappearance, other energies still flowed on land and in the air.

After walking to return to the military base, they were now near it, but they decided to rest until they partially recovered from the battle. This was because they didn't want to risk being caught by surprise by an aggressive reaction from the military.

It was true that they had helped each other and that the army had destroyed the tree creating problems for them. Still, if they appeared in front of the door while being weak and vulnerable, asking for rewards, the military may take that opportunity to finish them off and save the payment.

Because of this, they camped for a few hours, so everyone got a chance to rest for a while.

Even if they still had to finish their mission, the atmosphere at the camp was joyful and festive. Once they got their hands in whatever was inside the military, they would leave the rift, returning to their own worlds where they would hail them as heroes.

After a few hours, they continued with their journey. They weren't far from the base, so they arrived in less than an hour.

Near the base, they used the same tactic as the last time; those capable of using shields and barriers would position themselves in front and at the sides of the army so they could protect the rest from any possible attack from the camp.

Once again, Azrael, the leader of the angels, took responsibility for the communications with the military using his mental powers. For a few minutes, he stood still while looking at the base.

"They said they are thankful that we have helped them get rid of that stone and will reward us with anything they could offer," Azrael said inside the heads of everyone present.

"Great, ask them what the most valuable thing they have there is. What they show you should be what we are looking for; if it isn't, ask for the second most valuable thing." Jason explained.

Azrael looked over the base again, and a few minutes later, he talked again.

"They said they have some unique and very important airship," Azrael explained.

"Is it one of those ships we saw dropping bombs?" Nathan asked.

"It doesn't seem the case. According to what they have told me, it looks like this ship is not theirs, but something found abandoned a few years ago." Azrael explained before the doors of the base's wall opened.

From it came out a truck carrying a strange object.

It was a twenty meters radius and five meters tall disk. It was made entirely of metal, and its surface was so smooth that everything reflected on it.

"That's the thing," Jason said with a smile.

Without losing even a second, he neared the ufo and swung his weapon towards it. After the first hit, the ship broke into small pieces, which turned into light particles before entering Jason's body.

After seeing that, Nathan closed his eyes, feeling his surroundings.

"It seems like we have everything we were looking for," Nathan said.

"Maybe it is time to return," Travis replied.

With that, the army began to advance toward the area of the tunnels.

Once they arrived there, each one said goodbye to the rest.

"It's been a pleasure to work with you guys. I hope everything goes great within your world." Jason said.

"Me too. Take care." Travis replied.

"I liked fighting alongside you. Maybe we will meet again in the future. Until then." Azrael said

"I hope so," Nathan said.

With that, each army entered its tunnel and left the rift, never to come again.
