As cool as it would be to see Edvard join the mission to help/rescue, I think that the Dragon Armor would be better in Ray's hands, but Ray can't be found, then Edvard would probably be the best person to use it because he has experience with it, plus his Luck will probably help get everyone through some tough situations.
I think that after taking on the Dalki still out there, Ray got powerful enough he felt he could be as strong without it as he was with it. I think that if Ray learns Quinn went into Immortui's universe to kill him, he will definitely want to be a part of that since it caused him so much trouble in the past. If he doesn't make it to the team in time, I can see Bliss opening a portal. I still think if Layla goes, Minnie and Galen will follow her in. there is no one truly strong enough to stop them.
