Chapter 919 - Prima Guardian Preparations
🕑 Added 2024-05-22 10:44:00 +0000 UTC”How the hell am I supposed to say hi to someone for you if you don’t tell me who…” Jake grumbled as the damn birdbrain didn’t make any sense at all. He genuinely had no idea who she was even talking about… it could be so many. Maybe another Primordial, seeing as Jake had met, like, half of them during Nevermore? Some Void God was also entirely possible… or maybe Artemis? It could even be that Wintermaul elemental, in case the one who’d blessed that guy was closely related to Stormild. Wait, it could definitely also be Minaga. Both Minaga and Stormild were chaotic as fuck.
Shaking the thought away as it really wasn’t worth dedicating any brainpower to, he turned his attention to Sylphie, who looked curiously at him. ”Ree?”
”No, just Stormild messing with me,” Jake sighed. Yeah, that was his conclusion, even if the Primordial could have actually meant something with her words. He really wasn’t a fan of people acting mysterious just for the sake of acting mysterious.
”Ree,” Sylphie responded.
”Yeah, not surprising an elemental spirit likes to mess with people,” he just agreed. Jake also took a moment to really feel the Union Oath once more. It was odd. When it disappeared, Jake hadn’t really missed it overly much, likely because he still always had the Golden Mark of the Fallen King to find and contact Sylphie quickly.
Then, after Nevermore, they quite frankly all could do with a bit of time apart to do their own thing. Now, it felt oddly comforting to have it back, though. Sylphie also seemed happy, which made Jake happy in return.
”So, what are your plans now? Gonna continue to help Whaleman?” Jake asked the hawk.
”Ree, ree, ree,” Sylphie confirmed. She also told him some interesting details he hadn’t heard before. Sylphie had recently adopted the role of primarily hunting elementals and given them stern talking-tos. Elementals tended to not be very good at listening, and even if they were intelligent, they were more akin to children than adults.
Some more adult-like elementals - such as the water elemental at the harbor town Jake, Carmen, and Sylphie had stopped by on their way to Paradise - were already working on taming the elementals close to human land. At the very least, the elementals were trying to eliminate them as threats to humanity.
Elementals trying to control other elementals was a lot easier than beasts trying to control other beasts, primarily due to their lower level of intellect. If a smart and powerful water elemental entered a group of dumb water elementals, these other water elementals would instinctively begin to follow the smart one.
Sylphie was this concept taken to the extreme. Other wind elementals practically worshipped her. She even told him of the time she went to the cloud islands that had drifted away from hanging above Haven a while ago. All the Cloud Elementals, Storm Elementals, and other variants were incredibly subservient to Sylphie without her even needing to do anything.
Maybe it has something to do with that Authority skill, too? Jake questioned himself without having any means to confirm. Sylphie also had no idea when he tried asking her, either.
”Seems like you got a quest ahead of you,” Jake smiled, happy Sylphie had something to do.
”Ree?”
”I’ll just stay here, I reckon,” Jake said. ”Gonna do some alchemy and be available for when people start returning to Earth. Jacob, Casper, Eron, and many others will make their way back for the Prima Guardian event, and I want to be ready for when that happens. Or, at the very least, be within quick flight distance to help Miranda when the time arrives.”
“Ree,” Sylphie nodded in understanding before waving her goodbyes… but not before flying by and stealing one of Jake’s time bananas.
Speaking of the time banana musa. It had grown a little, so that was great. Not much else had changed, though. Truthfully, it would have been weird if the musa had experienced any great changes in less than a year, as these things tended to take their time growing.
Anyway, with Sylphie gone, Jake returned back to his laboratory beneath the lodge as he didn’t have any more obligations for now. With Miranda back, he also felt a lot more assured that things would be handled elsewhere, and he also trusted that there wasn’t really anyone capable of making trouble for her. At least not anyone where Jake’s skill set of beating people up could help, as he trusted she could do that herself. She had genuinely impressed him with her progress, but not as much as Lillian.
Both of them had grown strong. They still weren’t absolute top-level geniuses, but Jake could see Miranda reach a level where pretty much no one her level stood a chance if they entered her domain. He recalled the Dark Witch and her simple domain that already made her a lot stronger and more difficult to deal with. Adding someone with actual intellect and cunning to control such a domain was just straight-up a nightmare.
Lillian was a far more classical mage, but she still gave off an odd aura and was far from actually being a normal mage. Both of them were the kind of mages that didn’t really fight people straight-up but did weird shit to win. To be clear, Jake was totally okay with that, as long as they weren’t his enemies, because damn did he hate fighting super-tricky opponents. To date, Valdemar had still been the best kind of foe there was: just a dude with an axe who’s really strong.
Inside the laboratory, Jake refocused and went back to his acid project again. He did plan on spending the last half a year or so specializing in creating his most powerful iteration of Heartrot Poison yet. While he didn’t know for sure the Prima Guardian would be a flesh and blood Vitality-based lifeform, Jake heavily assumed it was based on how most of the Primas had been beasts. It really wouldn’t make much sense for a big robot to suddenly appear… but if it was a robot, then hey, he had something to test his acids on.
With a loose plan in mind, Jake delved into his alchemy once more, as there really was little more to do now than wait for the system event that would decide the fate of the planet. Oh, and greet his acquaintances and friends as they returned to the planet.
--
As Earth was making its own preparations for the Prima Guardian to arrive, so were all the other planets in the ninety-third universe. The ones that had enlightened ones who successfully united under one banner anyway. Planets like the one Draskil came from had effectively fallen already and were now ruled solely by beasts.
Many other planets that had technically united still faced huge challenges, as even if the World Congress had elected a World Leader, that didn’t mean all civil unrest was addressed.
Especially not when one introduced the powderkeg that was people returning from Nevermore. People, more powerful than ever, some of whom had finally hit their stride, were not satisfied with their stations and were now grasping for organizational power. Many changes of leadership happened across the multiverse, and multiple factions appeared, battling it out even if they were meant to work together in preparation for the system event.
For the smaller planets, with less area unexplored, they could perhaps make do even if there was internal chaos. However, for others, this led to their chances of handling the Prima Guardian significantly falling.
As per the system message during the final mandatory World Congress, the power of the Prima Guardian also scaled with how many Primas had been killed and the overall performance of the people on the planet during the initiation. So, when some people had to abandon the planet – not unlike how the Holy Church and Risen had left Earth – after having killed some Primas, it could cause an imbalance between what the planet looked capable of beating and what they could actually beat.
This method of scaling was also a boon to some – assuming the goal was just to beat the Guardian - if a lot of people from their planet had left to become more powerful with divine factions, having thus killed fewer Primas. This was naturally with the expectation they would return.
Of course, the power of every individual planet wasn’t necessarily the only deciding factor. There was also the entire Prima Guardian Alliance – an aspect of the upcoming event Earth had voted not to take part in. At the cost of splitting rewards, this would allow several planets to band together and assist one another. Meanwhile, Earth would not be able to interact with this alliance before they had killed their own Prima Guardian.
All in all, there was a lot going on with this event, but at its essence, it was pretty simplistic:
A powerful boss would appear, and the people on the planet have to defeat this boss along with an army of undefeated regular Primas who had grown more powerful while away. More beasts would likely join them, making it only reasonable to prepare by ensuring that not too many or too powerful beasts would join the Primas. This entire army and the Prima Guardian must be defeated within five years, or the Guardian will claim the Planetary Pylon.
Should the Prima Guardian take over, no one truly knew what the result would be. Perhaps they would enslave the enlightened races, kill them all, or become some sort of benevolent leader, meaning having the Prima win was actually the best outcome imaginable. Or, you know, it could just make the planet go boom.
The point is, no one knew. Not even the gods.
All of these system events during the initiation of a new universe were unique. They did share some similarities here and there, allowing some of the oldest and most knowledgeable gods to theorize, but having a reasonable theory was far from the same as actually knowing.
This Prima Guardian event also being linked to a World Wonder, was something never seen before during any initiations, adding even more interest. As hinted at already, chances are individuals could take control of parts of the World Wonder. With time, perhaps even the entire World Wonder. WIth how things were playing out currently, it was reasonable to assume one potential method to take control was through these system events during the initiation. That was an utterly massive incentive to get involved, even for the largest of factions, as controlling a World Wonder was simply invaluable.
Yet even with this divine influence, the chances weren’t good for some planets across the Milky Way… at least it didn’t look like it was initially. But they all had one hope. The most powerful of planets tended to vote for dealing with the Prima Guardian themselves to get the most rewards, just as Earth had. However, there was one exception to this. One pinnacle planet that had voted to join the Prima Guardian Alliance and become their leader and symbol of hope:
Ell’Hakan.
Despite his homeworld being more than fit to solo the Prima Guardian, he had joined the alliance. After he returned from Nevermore, the belief in his skills had grown to newfound heights, as they placed all their trust in him. While he hadn’t beaten the Chosen of the Malefic Viper, he had proven himself second of the entire multiverse this generation. He had proven himself more than capable.
Of the planets across the Milky Way that had joined the alliance created by the system, nearly five hundred were now already under his banner. A massive coalition, controlled by the Chosen of Yip of Yore, with many of the gods supporting Yip, having blessed people on the many planets, as it quickly became clear this alliance was morphing into something more than simply a temporary alliance to defeat the Prima Guardian.
It was Ell’Hakan laying the groundwork for the eventual galactic politics related to the Seat of the Exalted Prima… and who knows, there might even be a Galactic Congress in the future.
--
Months passed, and Earth only continued to improve. People were also still coming back from Nevermore throughout this time, but there was no turmoil or anything caused by their return. Even people who had left to be with their divine factions in other universes began to make their way back to participate in the upcoming system event.
Their return was once more partly due to the lack of information. Nobody knew what the rewards for this event would be, and no one dared risk missing out on something that could be significant and reward great Records. It was entirely possible that merely participating – no matter how minor your role – would earn you a title or something like that. Many even hoped they could ride on the coattails of the ridiculously powerful people on the planet and get partial credit for defeating a Prima Guardian that was definitely close to the highest difficulty one would find in the ninety-third universe.
While many relatively unknown people returned, many known figures also began to make their way back, or at least been polite, and announced their return to Miranda. Casper had contacted her and given an actual estimated time of arrival, where he also explained it wouldn’t just be him coming.
Tens of thousands of Risen would return to Earth in what had to be a massive undertaking. But, not knowing if the rewards would be worth it, it was something they chose to do.
It was also hinted that the group was as big as it was because they wanted to set up a permanent outpost on Earth should they succeed against the Prima Guardian. Even before they officially proposed this as an option, the World Council was in tentative agreement it should be allowed, even if their presence didn’t come without… let’s just say, challenges.
Miranda was already stressing a bit as there really weren’t many Risen on Earth after Casper and the others left. There were only a scarce few, and there were no whole towns or anything like that with only Risen. She had also spent a lot of resources dealing with all the damn xenophobia of both the Earthlings and many of the freed slaves, and having Risen to now also deal with was an entire thing. They were a far more unpopular race across the multiverse than nearly any other race, besides maybe ectognamorphs.
The Risen were not as hated as the damn vampires they already had plenty of, though. A race the Risen also historically didn’t like.
Oh, and then, to make matters even worse, Jacob applied to return together with a group from the Holy Church. It was the kind of request that was overly polite from their end, promising gifts and compensation for allowing their visit, making any form of rejection an obvious “fuck you” to the largest faction in the entire multiverse. Something that Jake would have been fine doing, but Miranda had enough diplomatic sense to know there was nothing to be gained from offending them needlessly, so she accepted their application. Though, contrary to the Risen, she had no plans of offering them the possibility of having an outpost after the event was done.
So, to summarize, there would be Risen, vampires, and people from the Holy Church - all supposed to be together, fighting the Prima Guardian. This was despite the Holy Church and Risen both having standing kill orders should one spot any vampires. Yeah, Miranda definitely had her work cut out for her, but hey, dealing with all this was great for her level. Not as great for her general stress level, but the levels made it worth it, right?
Other less controversial individuals and factions also announced their return. Eron would return with only a dozen or so people who belonged to the Dao Sect. They were people Miranda hadn’t even known were originally from Earth, and quite frankly, it didn’t matter much. The Dao Sect was perhaps the most neutral faction in the entire multiverse, never really getting involved in anything big or causing any trouble.
All in all, this system event would be a massive reunion of everyone from Earth. The ridiculous fighting power they would display was also almost comical, and Miranda genuinely looked forward to seeing what the event could possibly throw at them that Earth couldn’t handle.
She assumed the answer was that they could handle the Guardian… which was why she was already looking ahead and making plans. But all of that was for after their own Prima Guardian was confirmed dead. For now, the most immediate thing was making sure all the people who would visit for the event didn’t end up killing each other before the boss even arrived.
However, while they waited for many of those who had announced they could come, the first to arrive was someone Miranda hadn’t even really considered, and someone Jake wasn’t even sure would come. No, someone he wasn’t even sure could come.
It was still a bit less than half a year till the Prima Guardian, and Jake had just begun his Heartrot improvement spree when he was contacted by Miranda. However, even before she contacted him, Jake had this weird itch that was explained when he heard the message:
“Sandy has returned to Earth… bringing along a certain Vespernat Hive Queen.”
That’s right, Vesperia had finally come to Earth.

Bee Queen! Bee Queen! Bee Queen! Yes I know shes a wasp, but "Wasp Queen" doesn't roll of the tongue as well. So glad my favortite character us back, even if for only a little.

Thx for the chapter

Thanks for the chapter!

I have a feeling one day jake;s opinion on fighting simple enemies will change. Tricky is just another way of saying exciting to some people.

Why does he know so much about phobias? Seriously I had to search up all the phobias this guy mentions.

i love this author 10/10 in all categories. waking up and starting my day with reading is god tier
Chloe
I like the Jake's alliance out numbers EHs by the end. Just for appearances sake.
Chloe
He went to Nevermore in D grade. He may go back but... only if it's in the rules
Chloe
Yes but in preps they had only sorted the top 4 or 5 levels. So they don't want ants suprise attacking when the prima shows
TimeDrawsNigh
Typo: curtails -> coattails
Kelarys
Bit extreme there, I'd say the only requirement is for this person to have not competed on the nevermore leader boards. Just because Jake doesn't know about them doesnt mean the gods don't and just didn't talk them in his presence. He literally wasn't told about EH until after the guy antagonized him and Villy already knew they were on a collision course
Ty Cooper
I thought that was only if you joined the group prima battle version. Jake is done after earth's prima I thought. That's why EH is messing with the other world leaders already.
JJB4345_80_815
The Metal Mage, William, was planning on leaving Ell'hakan's world before the orange menace returned to it. The method of his departure was a transport coin to Nevermore, where he wouldn't be able to compete in the Leaderboards BUT he could still gain levels. He will probably try to arrive right before the Prima Guardian event and then return back to Nevermore to finish his 50-year run. Of course, if there is an unknown variable, William's actual plans might be different.
Justus Saucedo
BOOO! She's a wasp bad pun

No one knows yet, but its safe to assume that he's making heretics.

Well this is gonna b an interestin family dinner
JJB4345_80_815
I think after the Prima Guardian is defeated on Earth that Sandy is going to be crucial to get Jake (& company) from world to world defeating even MORE Prima Guardians. I can just see Jake enjoying the fight so much that he'll want rounds 2 & 3 &...
JJB4345_80_815
The Automata legion, like every other group/Pantheon/faction/legion et al, is constrained by the system regulated rules preventing others from entering the 93rd universe. With the 93rd universe being so new, it would be highly unlikely that the Automata legion has a super powerful member within striking distance of Earth.
Arieh Sochaczevski
Jake wants less help, not more. He’d fight the Prima Guardian and all the other beasts solo if he had the choice.
Hayden Leech
WOO! Vesperia is my current fav character power wise
Martín Ballesteros Arias
Oh that's right, well maybe he went back there? I just hope that little twerp learned his lesson and is trying to be of some use
Cory Sauls
That could be correct. I haven’t been able to locate the chapter where Vesperia states she wants to go to Earth to verify myself.
Lonnie Sizemore
This just illustrates the abnormalities that are occurring with Jake's earth. C grades are supposed to be the elites troops of a normal planet. B grades being generals, A grades rulers, S grades more like guardians against other factions and a god or two. Almost all his core people will be A or S grade, if not gods in their own right.
Unnskyld
I could be remembering the discussion incorrectly, but I believe vesperia said something along the lines of leaving the first universe in around five years. If Jake was in nevermore for three and then he did alchemy for one and a half years we get pretty close to when she said she would come.
KenTX325
At some point I’d like to see Draskil work with Jake.
ChRiAn
Let's say 600 to 700 hundred planets with enlighten races in control, to satisfy the vast majority. You are aware we are only talking about the milky way. That is still a shit load of inhabitated planets, especially when you add the purely monster housing ones, for just the milky way.
ChRiAn
EH and Jake are just contesting for the Milkyway seat of the Prima, not the whole universe one. So we still have some space gof the other universe era characters to enter.
ChRiAn
The Endless Empire already offered to "take care" of the underground insects, as it seems most of them are blessed. He refused, wanting to keep the hunting grounds.
Daniel
It would have to be some crazy super-genius who somehow didn't goto nevermore, didn't get found by a god and hasn't killed anyone associated with gods to be known of. I could see that happening with a beast but not a human.
Jeff McCulley
He was only going to be on Ell’Hakan’s planet a little longer, then go to Nevermore.
Jeff McCulley
That’s just the planets that wanted help.

EH still has to defeat 500 prima bosses to build his empire. I think he may have some issues.
Decibel790
VESPY, LETS GO!!
Grine
Just a friendly reminder that there is somewhere between 200 billion and 2 trillion galaxies just in the observable universe. So those 500 or so planets in the Milky Way are nothing more than a grain of sands in the Sahara.
Blank
He publicly apologized to Jake at the end of nevermore. If he then turns around and attacks Jake with 500 odd planets of fighters. I think it'd look very bad for him and his "story"
Razeel Nightfall
Just send Will over to break all the bindings to free the karma like he did on EH s home world.
Razeel Nightfall
More importantly they bring huney that Jake wanted.
C. Adkins
And remember, this is solely the Milky Way. We know nothing of the other galaxies in the 93rd universe (which begs the question, would anyone in the 93rd universe know another being from the 93rd is in the same galaxy or not in Nevermore? Special events seem to be galaxy focused, but Nevermore is total universe.
Dominick Gelardi
Maybe, but he also mentioned that we are talking about the Milky Way Galaxy, not the entire 93rd universe. That seems fairly reasonable considering how many planets could support enlightened before the system
Robert Warner
Feel free to correct me or point me to a specific chapter that may contradict this. If I remember correctly, it was said that C grade is when most would first experience leaving their own world. I don't recall it saying that the method they used was flying into slave directly using their own body. In fact, we see plenty of examples of people leaving in C grade through some form of teleportation, convention travel in a spaceship, or even types of protection. I never saw an instance where a character broke from this mold. So when Zog mentions that B grade is when folks can start exploring space using solely their bodies, I don't see a contradiction or some form of plot hole. Additionally, EH having a vast majority of planets in his coalition, means that there are roughly 600 or so planets in the newly initiated 93rd universe that have lifeforms capable of participating in the prima event. That seems to me to be a respectable amount. From a story standpoint, what difference is it, whether it's 600 or 6000?
Austibobo
What happened to the golden retriever?
Mohammed Sheekh
what's the conclusion with William in el' hakans home world?
Darshar Griffonmane
I think he is just mentioning planets that have a possible future bearing on Earth and its role in galaxy. I am pretty sure there are many many more planets of interest (enlightened and not) just in the Milky way galaxy, much less the rest of the 93rd Universe.
donvitogonzalle
Does anybody else feel that things are getting scaled down quite a bit? Just recently is has been changed that you can only explore space while in B grade, before that it was C grade. And C grade was once called "higher grade", like humans on average can get 10k years old, but without outside help they can never leave their planet? lol thats whack af. And now the "vast majority" of planets with enlightened is just 500, that feels like a very very low number. Edit: Nah it was definitely once said that you start exploring in C grade and then it was later changed to B grade. It was never mentioned that C grades only explore with space ships or teleporters (do even most planets have teleporters to other planets? Or people who are able to build space ships like Arnold? I doubt it.) C grade just seems weak AF and 93rd universe is now super small with just a bit over 500 planets, most of them filled with nobodys who cant even fight the prima alone
donvitogonzalle
It literally says: "The VAST MAJORITY of planets across the Milky Way had joined this alliance, with nearly five hundred planets total part of it. "
JJB4345_80_815
Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!
Max
I don’t think they have.
Chloe
Vesperia yay! If the only part of earth they didn't have a good control of was the insect tunnels... problem solved. The alliance for the Cheeto 500 planets strong may be a challenge to overcome after earth's prima is defeated. Jake gets the planetary Pylon. Cheeto realizes the metal mage messed up his power base. Earth elites help planets out of kindness not out of pursuit of power. Narrative changes for yip. Boom. Somewhere here Miranda, perhaps with our favorite wasp, gets Jake to sort his inventory or empty it and let her sort it for him. Tyftc
ChRiAn
He still hasn't introduced Sylphie, despite bring ordered to. And did Jake's family ever visit Haven?
Ryan Ulrich
My money is on a third party alliance from the unknown reaches of the 93rd universe being a big player in the Prima Event. I’m happy to see Jake vs EH but I like to think the 93rd has more to offer than just those two.
ChRiAn
Mistress, not Miss.
ChRiAn
Perfect set up for William's redemption via triggering karmic payback of epic proportions.
ChRiAn
Meh, all wind elemental and wasp prima will be fine, they can surrender and become friends. Jake is good at making friends, especially for someone proclaimed socially inept.
ChRiAn
I think he can still do his 50 C-Grade years, he just is blocked from the leader boards because he already was there before.
ChRiAn
Draskil is enlightened, not a monster, unless I am completely mistaken. So valid idea. The question is if he is from the milky-way and could help Jake go hunt on his old planet, assuming that's one of those fallen to monsters.
ChRiAn
Nah, main hero will be Sandy. Wiggling from prima to prima, throwing out the pokemen, I mean fighters, in his stomach and clearing Earth up in record time.
ChRiAn
Jake turns Jacob into a heretic during the event, which causes Jacob to seek asylum on Earth. And gives Jake the last few levels he needs to trigger the Sage meet.
ChRiAn
Just had a thought that could be hilarious: what if Jake and crew go to help other planets after dealing with their Prima and run across a Prima that's a wasp?
ChRiAn
Did you even read the chapter? The power level and the advantages and disadvantages of the planets are clearly stated there. The big unknown is what being the Prima is and what happens if it wins.
ChRiAn
Given the power level of EH and his cronies, I don't really see a way how the alliance could struggle. But I agree that, given William mentioned a lot of corrupted karma on EH's planet, there will be a time for operation "Bitch slap of karmic retribution" where William triggers the karma to wake everyone up from the bloodline. The mentioned galaxy congress, or better the build up, seems like a prime moment.
Martín Ballesteros Arias
Well, he could be down in Ell'Hakan's planet, he was studying there and improving his control over karma and all that, maybe he could start there the event, and right when it matters he could break that karma spell woven by that emotional bloodline, that way they may fall bc of all the bullsh*t going on xD then he would be able to go back to earth as a great contributor to the cause
Scion
Jake at the same time trying to encourage veperia getting pissed because he didn't get a fight
Juozapas
Vesperia heyyy 🤩
Jeff McCulley
Just ran across this, rereading: “This is a token specifically crafted for you, and I would hope for you to Soulbind it as soon as possible for safety reasons. A paired token will be given to Vesperia, and you two will be able to communicate through it.” Jake forgot after he got back home, didn’t he?
Jeff McCulley
That’s just the ones who asked for help.
Archmage37
I would love that. A top genius jumping in just to spar with Jake in the middle of the chaos
Archmage37
I would assume there is a significant number that were over run by beasts, collapsed due to in fighting, or are to disorganized to form an alliance which is where I think Team Earth will swoop in and save many and end up with a larger portion of the alliance than EHs portion stymieing his attempts at becoming galactic ruler. That's my working theory at least.
SinCinnamon
Bees! Bees everywhere!
joel southard
Nice thank you for the chapter
John Looney
I wonder if this has to do with the conversation vesp had with minage
Jay tolley
My bet is their alliance struggles. It was said earth could help other planets once their prima guardian is dead which means Jake can screw Ellhakan more and earth can save the 93rd universe.
ItWasIDIO!!
Ye!! Versperia almost forgot & also William stop messing around you done missed too many events get your ass over here
Logan
Preciate your writing
Jeff McCulley
Pretty sure that Ell’Hakan’s world is ABOUT TO have a whole bunch more disorder. William: “Evidence he needed to find to use against Ell’Hakan when the time was right.” Well, doesn’t it seem like “the time is right” is fast approaching?
Jeff McCulley
Jake isn’t going to do Jack shit to Jacob. (I really, really enjoyed writing that sentence) At some point Jacob is going to turn his back and walk away from the Church. Maybe shortly. Miranda could use him to ease tensions. That might even be Jacob’s whole plan in coming.
Jeff McCulley
Going by Miranda’s list, the Automata legion doesn’t have an “in” on Earth. Unless that starship they gave Jake suddenly does an Optimus Prime act—and I think Arnold would have noticed.
donvitogonzalle
Only 500 planets? Kind of a low number, I thought there were like hundreds of thousands of planets with enlightened. Edit: It literally says: "The VAST MAJORITY of planets across the Milky Way had joined this alliance, with nearly five hundred planets total part of it. "
SciFi Fan
Welcome Back Vespy! Hopefully you bring tons of goodies with you!
Chase Koehn
Came to comment this and it’s the first one I saw instead🤗 Super glad to have Vesperia back in the chapters
Jeff McCulley
A. Scarlett wouldn’t be able to participate. Pretty sure she ate treasures. Most high level beasts on Earth did. Sylphie just happened to be born in a way and time that she didn’t have to. B. I suspect that Ell’Hakan’s little alliance isn’t going to be the problem it looks like right now. After all, when William was on Cheeto’s home planet, he thought this: “Evidence he needed to find to use against Ell’Hakan when the time was right.” What time would be better than when Jake is facing off against Ell’Hakan on one of the other Prima Guardian planets?
Jeff McCulley
That was for the first Prima event. The one where he met Ell’Hakan, and picked up Alt Jake.
Jeff McCulley
This caught my eye: “Eron would return with only a dozen or so people who belonged to the Dao Sect. They were people Miranda hadn’t even known were originally from Earth…” Hmm. Do you suppose that somehow, this sentence: Turning toward Jake, the Disciple of the Daolord smiled and bowed as she finally spoke. ”Let us meet again.” …altered fate enough that she could come to Earth for the Prima Guardian event?
Hayden Leech
Vesperia woooooo!
Michael
Jake's primeval origins family is back
SwiftVogel
I was legit just thinking about when Zogarth would bring back Vesperia 😭 TFTC
Aerlevsedi
If I recall correctly, metal dude (William) was as others have said exploring the creepy karma of the cheeto's homeworld. More importantly I don't think he can go to Nevermore until later grades because Smiley sent him to Nevermore early. It came up when Jake was convincing him Smiley was being a manipulative dick with the dreams and bad advice.
KipBR
Jacob is the reasonable pacifist one, Jacob himself doesn't mind the risen or any vampires. It's just his organization that does - and he isn't fully indoctrinated. There shouldn't be any problems with him.
Chase Burton

Can someone remind, did Jake ever get the 3 keys you need for the prima event? Or am I miss remembering things
Aidan
It says in the chapter it is based on how many primas were killed before the event
Clint
I love this idea. Suddenly, Jake’s team includes a B-grade Wasp queen Prima that’s groveling to Vesperia, and no one gets to fight anything until they start helping other planets.

Holy Church already 'chose' Yip of Yores' side. That Nevermore Party proved that. The HC probably sent Jacob with a bunch of spies for El'Hakken's future attack DURING the Prima Guardian Event. But I do agree that Jacob will be 'sacrificed' by the end of this Event. Im sure the HC is fully aware of his internal conflicts, and decided to make one last use of him.

Jake primal family reunion!
RonGAR
Now we just need Scarlett from the Mangrove. But she is probably a Low 'B' right now. As for what Jakes Rival El'Hakken is doing... smh. I think that 500 planet union is going to be a massive problem. El'Hakken could 'come to an understanding' with the Prima, then turn that force as well as his 500 Planet Union faction towards earth. Jake better be ready to call in all his favors. #justsaying.

Tftc! My theory is the event is going to be scaled based on the average power level of those defending.
Jeff McCulley
Just found this: “But all of that was for after their own Prima Guardian was confirmed dead.” That said, there’s something to be said for it turning out to be a wind elemental and… “REE!” “Yes Miss Sylphie, whatever you say, Miss Sylphie.”

Well if Vesperia is returning, then we have the potential of seeing some interference or interaction with the Automata faction at some point during or after the Guardian event. No way would they let an opportunity to take out a Royal that is outside the Endless Empire pass them by. The fun part will be to see if they are willing to cross Jake/Villy. If they are, that could potentially expand the Villy-Yip conflict to more Primordial gods. So exciting to see what happens! tftc!
Steven Myer
It's going to be heart breaking when Jake has to kill Jacob over his brother or the vampires. I feel this will be a turning point or his first mistake that opens the holy church on the side of yip yore's chosen. I feel the choosen might even dedicate the 500 planets to the Holy Mother. Obviouly I have no idea where the plot will go but I feel like Viper vs the Holy Mother would be something scary.
Jeff McCulley
All he was going to do is report back to whoever hired him on Earth on what he’d found.
Jeff McCulley
He probably consumed natural treasures.
Pablo Barbatto
Not I want the Prima Guardian to be a B grade blue mushroom
Rui
my guess is that the was only "allowed" to return once Jake was in the planet itself to ensure her safety.
Ty Cooper
Would Miranda be able to make the holy church and risen sign an agreement before they came that protected to other participants such as vampires and the other factions? Lol and man oh man Vesperia is going to have a pocket army of the best buggy warrior variants. I feel the hardest part of the Prima Gaurdian event will be making everyone play nice. I was really hoping EH's world would have been in even more disorder than it sounds like.
Jeff McCulley
Gosh, maybe Stormild met Vesperia in her previous incarnation?
Jeff McCulley
Family reunion time!
KenTX325
Draskil is from 93rd universe. Jake should invite him.
Jeff McCulley
Like, if Jake “defeats” it by offering to fix its bloodline or something, and it immediately surrenders? Sure! 😂
Jeff McCulley
Heh. First thing waiting when I wake up!
Jeff McCulley
Well…she’s gonna be to *someone*.
Alan Lint
Metal Dude is William I believe. Last we heard on him he was investigating EH's home planet while he was off in Nevermore, really looking forward to seeing what he did with all that twisted karma.
Jeff McCulley
Yeah, but if they beat it in like ten minutes, they can join the Prima Alliance and go mess with Ell’Hakan’s plans. I’m down with that!
KenTX325
Gotta say, I really like the idea of having an army of super hornet warriors. Even better is sandy spitting them out in the enemy’s face.
Jeff McCulley
William is probably already there. Though I think maybe he was going to Nevermore after scouting Ell’Hakan’s planet? For whoever on Earth he was scouting it for. My money is still on either Miranda or the SS—though the Fallen King did meet him with Jake.
Jeff McCulley
Would be HILARIOUS if it turned out to be…a wasp! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
George Campbell
Vespy!!! Sandy!!!! TFTC!
Clint
Vesperia!! Also, looks like Jake will have his work cut out for him post-Prima, with EH building a massive alliance of worlds. Excited to see what kind of being Earth’s Prima turns out to be.

And it is not even Friday!

Typo ride on the curtails -> ride on the coattails
Cory Sauls
Strange. I had assumed way back in the Nevermore arc that Vesperia was already on Earth considering the conversation she had with the other Hive Queen with the third eye. Glad she is coming now though. Look forward to the reunion with her and Jake
DirePants
I thought that metal dude was going to come back. Forget his name. I’m excited for this event. Jake gets to hunt his heart out. I wonder how will it be set up? So far it’s been very party or solo types. I think there was something like a battle in that place where he got the curse branch and vampire juice lol but this might be more like a war maybe 🤔
Naotsugu97
Thanks for the chapter.
Valhazstromoz
YAY VESPY!!
Stevean Bozek
I honestly feel really bad for the Primas heading towards Earth. I did before, but with everyone coming back to join in on the fun? Yeah, they're gonna have a really bad time
Joseph Dizdar
That or change "before" to "until"
Lizy Flore
Yeah ! Vesperia incoming :))) also, can I say I despise EH ? Really, great job with this antagonist, I just had to imagine how he manipulated his way to reigning over the Alliance, and I was fuming. Anyway, thanks for the chapter! Looking forward to their reunion 😄
MrCynical
Yay. I missed Vesperia.
Tyler S.
Oh boy, Zog pulling back the hammer. As he gets ready to drop a mid class early B grade guardian on them as readers anticipate/hope for. Miranda setting those karma flags as Eversmile laughs. Either way to see how this fight sets the stage for the Prima WW.
Tommy
Tftc!
Phallusar
Vesperia is quite the surprise
Strato Junon
Oh vespie! Tyfc
Andrew Lavoie
Nothing like a chapter before I go to bed lol
Jana
I noticed that it only says the Prima needs to be defeated, not necessarily killed. Not that killing something stoped Jake from befriending it but it certainly makes things easier. There is room for creative solutions for Jake and Team Earth.
Tristan
Oh hell yeah the records for this fight are going to be hot
Zogarth
fix
Phasmatic7
Thankies for the chapie zogie
T
That’s a nice chapter a bit of overview and exposition hints what others are up to and Jake Sylphie sandy and vesper are getting a get together is nice
Tim Schillinger
Tftc! Let's goooo Vesperia!

Thanks for the chapter!

Can’t wait for Vesperia to meet Jake’s family 😂.

"Meanwhile, Earth would not be able to interact with this alliance before after they had killed their own Prima Guardian." There's an extra "after" here I believe.
