Arthur didn't return to Nienope, but instead went to the planet of the godslayer-dragons at the far edge of the Orithyia Galaxy, one of the 19 planets that had recently come under his dominion.
Upon arriving there, he found Aleksas, the person he'd come looking for, along with someone else he wasn't surprised to see accompanying him.
"Hello, Aleksas. Hello, Quinn," Arthur said, waving lightly at the two Progenitors.
"Arthur! I see you've been involved in some rather interesting things in this universe. You beat back Alexia's poor father."
Hearing Quinn's words, Arthur chuckled lightly and replied, "He came after me first. I simply retaliated. And I was victorious."
"Well, good for you," she said, appearing beside him and ruffling his hair.
"Your body's gotten a bit stronger, too. The imbalance isn't as severe anymore," she continued, noticing the increase in his physical body's capabilities.
