As one can imagine, the elder Devils of the various main powers of the Underworld received the messages. The Underworld immediately fell into chaos as several leaders of the higher realm rushed to the Swamp's locations.
As several Spatial Gates were being opened by the Devils from all regions, the twins' group was still experiencing everything from the inside. "Should we stay here much longer? I don't think the Swamp will stay quiet for much longer," said Roan with a dark expression.
Gem looked at Sesame before asking him directly. "Sesame, although you can't live out of this place forever, you should have no trouble leaving in it for a few hours or so. Use your strength to bring everyone away."
Sesame nodded. "No problem. However, we need to first gather everyone and bring them away. I wasn't expecting that you were going to take the fragment straight away, so I didn't gather the people and demon beasts living here."
Only now did Rean and the others remember that. "Right! How long will it take for you to get them to us?"
Sesame immediately opened a Spatial Gate and grabbed everyone before jumping into it. "Let's go back to my village first. I need to talk with the people there."
Somewhere else in the Swamp of no Return, there was an old Devil being served by several others with lower cultivation. Luman's settlement wasn't the only one created in this Swamp, obviously. This was one more of those. However, this settlement had one thing that others didn't. It was the only place in the Swamp of No Return that had an Elder Devil as a leader.
Rean and Roan's group had heard from the Light Devil clan that everyone gets lost in the Swamp of No Return, no exception. There was even an Elder Devil that never came back, and this was the one and the same. He had been here for countless years without being able to find a way out. He was Elder Devil Frulos Trus.
Frulos was even faster in noticing the changes in the Swamp of no Return, so he had already ordered everyone to gather close to him. Yet, he had no intention of taking that chance to escape the Swamp. Instead, he was planning to go to the Center. "Is everyone here?"
The subordinate on his side quickly shook his head. "We are not sure. We don't keep track of everyone since we have been here for too long. Perhaps there are a few that were far from the settlement."
Frulos shook his head. "Then they can go and try their luck on their own." Frulos then looked at the Devils gathered near him and announced. "I'm leaving now. However, since we have been together during all this time, I'll give you one chance. You can join my Trus Clan as I rebuild it in the Underworld. If you want it, I'll put you in my Dimensional Realm. If not, I'll simply leave you here."
Although Frulos seemed to care about them, everyone knew that it was not the case. After so long, they knew that Frulos' Clan probably disappeared already since they didn't have an Elder Devil in charge anymore. The Devils here have high-level cultivations, so they would make good subordinates.
Frulos only gave them one minute to decide. Devils normally don't trust each other, just like any cultivator in the Realm of Gods. That said, less than half of those Frulos asked decided to follow him. Frulos couldn't care less, though. With his cultivation as an Elder Devil, he knew he would be able to find more useful subordinates sooner or later. He quickly put those who decided to follow him inside his Pocket Dimensional Realm and disappeared inside a Spatial Gate.
His Spatial Gate obviously wasn't taking them outside of the Swamp. Even if he wanted to do that, it wouldn't work since the Devils' Formation around the Swamp was still working. It's just that it was swelling rapidly due to the Concentrated Dark Element trying to escape. Instead, Frulos could finally tell which direction the Center of the Swamp was located and immediately opened a path leading there.
Luman's group was different. The first thing Luman did was to bring everyone to the border of the Swamp of No Return. If this event that allowed them to move into the Swamp wasn't going to last, he definitely didn't want to be here when everyone inside got lost and trapped in the Swamp again. Of course, only Luman appeared, as everyone else was inside his Dimensional Realm. "This... So much Dark Element. This formation won't hold for much longer. Once it reaches its breaking point, the region around the Swamp will be struck by quite a calamity."
He was right. The Dark Element and energy trying to escape were building up even more pressure. The Swamp was enormous to start with, so one could imagine what an explosion of Dark Element and Devilish Energy caused by such a huge place would cause.
Meanwhile, Spatial Gates began to open around the border of the Swamp of No Return nonstop. The Elder Devils, obviously, gathered together to assess the situation. Rui was also there and looked at the Swamp in the Distance with a pensive expression. The Swamp's time was over twenty times faster, so it didn't really be that long since he parted ways with the twins at the Swamp's borders. A little more than a decade was all. 'Could it have something to do with those two?'
Meanwhile, back in the twins' location, Sesame used his Divine Sense to explain the whole situation to the humans of his village. "That's about it. I don't have time to answer your questions, so you will have to trust me. Rean and Roan's group will bring you all to the Realm of Gods. From there onwards, you will have to take care of yourselves." he quickly turned around, preparing to leave. "I need to gather the Demon Beasts, so you can talk to the twins' group while I arrange the rest." Finally, he left to grab all the Demon Beasts."
Gem looked at the humans of the village and didn't feel like dealing with it. "Alright, I'm going back to hibernation. Only call me if it is extremely necessary." Right after, he disappeared inside the Soul Gem Orb without a trace.
Rean sighed before paying attention to the curious and concerned eyes of the people around. "Well, I'm sending you all and your houses into the Dimensional Realm. Don't resist."
*Vup, vup, vup, vup...*
Just like that, all the humans disappeared as well.
