Final purge

Sander didn't answer her, but asked her a question in return.

"You know why the Cosmic Limit increased from one to two, right? And what happened due to it?"

Melissa nodded seriously.

"It was a person from Earth who broke through to the second realm, the Cosmic Limit immediately increased after that."

That meant when the Cosmic Limit was at one, it was a person from the Earth who broke through to the second realm in their power system which caused the Cosmic Limit to increase to level two. 

At least that was what the Federation had concluded.

No one knew why the Cosmic Limit increased from zero to one, but if the reason behind its increase from one to two was indeed as they had assumed, then there was a possibility the Cosmic Limit would increase the same way in the future.

Sander continued instead of her, stating what happened when the Cosmic Limit went from one to two.

"Commander Elise, who had reached the Infernal Acolyte realm of the Demon power system, purged some people of the Human Federation who didn't have the corresponding power to protect themselves."

Melissa brows wrinkled. 

"I have a doubt. Shouldn't the Eight Outer Domains help those people increase their realm since the Outer Domains would benefit the most from it? 

They already have people at higher realms after all, it's only the Cosmic Limit which restricts them."

He chuckled.

"Good observation. The Human Federation should be making sure no one breaks through to level three of their power system so that their hold on the Earth doesn't slip away even faster.

"But in a way it depends on who breaks through first because that side will hold the initiative. That is also why they don't want to see the emergence of talents.

"Anyway, we're doing it one final time, because the purge last time was incomplete, the Federation is in a serious need of cleansing right now. After this we'll be doing what you suggested.

"By the way, I have the support from a few of the top ranking members including Dr. Kirchoff for the purge this time."

Melissa's brows suddenly wrinkled in confusion.

"Wait what? You have support? For what? Wait what's going on?"

Sander feigned arrogance as he revealed a bit of his aura.

Pressure slammed down on Melissa, her widening in surprise as she gazed at her brother with happiness.

"You? When? Wait, weren't you injured?"

Sander laid back, content with his sister's expression.

"I'll just say I didn't give a full report of my mission. I was injured, yes. They also cut off my supplies and every other chance to earn enough resources.

"But what I gained from the mission was also far more than that. I am at the peak of Infernal Acolyte realm now. A few more weeks of preparation is all I need to break through to the Fiend realm.

"If the Cosmic Limit increases, that would validate the Federation's guess, and I'll purge the Organization. If it doesn't, the Federation has measures to save me since my breakthrough would have failed."

Melissa was still worried though.

"What if there was a traitor among the people who are supporting you in the purge?"

He shook his head.

"There's very little chance of that happening. Dr. Kirchoff is among the people who are supporting me.

"It was his disciple Commander Elise who carried out the purge back then. Sadly, the news was leaked in advance, some people managed to run away and find refuge in the Outer Domains.

"If he made the same mistake once again, that too for the final purge, then the Federation should just pack up and disband."

Everyone knew that it was Dr. Kirchoff who founded the Human Federation along with few others. 

Just the fact that Sanders was getting his support brought a sense of safety to both the siblings.

He shrugged, and added.

"If the Cosmic Limit increases to 3, the Federation has decided to give up a few of its territories and focus their manpower on the remaining land under their control.

"Honestly, even I think it's worth it to exchange a few territories for completely cleansing the Human Federation."

"It's like betraying our people though. Leaving them to the whims of the Eight Outer Domains would create doubts among the rest of the population about our capability."

Melissa added with a thoughtful expression.

"Nope, if you've noticed, we've already sneakily begun migrating the population away. 

"And even if they stayed back, it won't be a problem, the land will belong to one of our allies anyway."

Melissa was surprised.

"We have allies among the Eight Outer Domains?"

He smirked. 

"None of the eight are of the same mind, why would we not want a few allies? The Federation is developing."

Sander stood up, and patted his butt.

"Alright, that's all I wanted to notify you about. Explain it to Eryndor so he doesn't jump out later like an idiot. Although given his intellect, I doubt he would."

*****

Eryndor woke up after a delightful sleep in a long time. The stretching almost felt orgasmic as his body loosened up.

"This feels good."

He sighed, the weight of his stress and hard work melting away, making the bliss he felt even more satisfying.

He had a nice breakfast with his teammates down at the restaurant, then went back up to pack his bag.

After finishing up, Eryndor was spending time with his group at their shared apartment when professor Melissa walked in a

The air in the room shifted as they gazed at her.

She first had a look at everyone, then her eyes finally settled upon Eryndor.

"I'll be reducing your contributions, making it stand out less than before."

Drakarion already displayed signs of anger, but Melissa continued.

"It's for your own good. The Human Federation isn't actually full of good people. Some people don't want to see a talent rising because of some incidents in the past.

"Instead, I'll compensate you from my side for your contributions. Have you thought of anything?"

Suddenly at that point, Eryndor thought of another thing which was a better reward than plain resources, something which could give him information about himself.

He nodded at her.

"I do have a request."
