"I'm coming right away!" Despite being interrupted, Muria still showed a look of joy. He grabbed Mikaela's hand. "Mika, come with me. I have a gift for you."
"What?" The girl was a bit puzzled but did not resist. She was led by Muria to stand before two seraphim and two epic titans, with three dragon kings joining in the fun on the side.
"Muria, state your request!" Oswald pointed at Seraphim Samuel with a smile. "Don't hold back. Asking for too little would be an insult to this seraphim."
"Hmph!" Samuel snorted coldly but said nothing. This time, he had to bleed a bit. After all, a being like the Ten Supreme Lords had emerged.
"Mika, is your Cloud City completed?" Muria did not immediately make his request but instead looked at the seraphim girl beside him. He knew that every seraphim descendant, upon advancing to the legend rank, would have their own Cloud City to house their angelic legion. The specifications of these Cloud Cities varied. For example, Mikaela's Cloud City had been under construction for over fifty years.
"You don't need to worry about that. Mika's Cloud City is almost finished," answered Seraphim Aludiba, looking at Muria a bit more favorably. "And it's of the highest specification."
"Highest specification?" Muria looked puzzled, not knowing the specific classifications of the seraphim's Cloud Cities.
"Let's not talk about the various defense arrays and basic facilities. Mikaela's Cloud City is equipped with one super-large and six large angel rebirth pools, capable of nurturing 2,800 angels simultaneously. It also has twenty-seven semi-planes of varying sizes, capable of housing a total of 3.6 million angels."
Muria's mouth twitched slightly, his grip on Mikaela's hand tightening. She truly was the epitome of a favored noble, making him feel like a pauper in comparison.
"What are your conditions? Speak freely," Mikaela's grandfather smiled at Muria, seeing through his intentions to curry favor with his granddaughter. Since it benefited his granddaughter, he had no reservations.
"Can Mikaela's Cloud City be equipped with more angel rebirth pools or semi-planes?" Muria gritted his teeth, suppressing the pain in his heart as he asked.
"This Cloud City is already sufficient for Mika to use for a long time." Seraphim Aludiba looked at Muria with increasing favor. "You should know, an ordinary two-winged seraphim descendant, upon advancing to the legend rank, only gets a Cloud City with one small angel rebirth pool and one medium semi-plane. Allocating more resources to Mika will raise many objections. The resources assigned to her are already ample."
"This is the seraphim clan's compensation to me. I'm passing it to Mikaela. Who would dare object?" Muria's eyebrows raised, lightning flashing in his eyes. "Let them come to me!"
"So, what compensation do you want?" asked the Starshine Dragon King from the side, watching with a toothache. This little guy was really something, going so far to curry favor.
"I want twelve Cloud Cities!" Muria thought for a moment and then stated his "reasonable" request. "At least as per the specifications for a two-winged seraphim descendant."
"Impossible! What do you need so many Cloud Cities for?" Seraphim Samuel refused without hesitation. "These are exclusive war fortresses of the seraphim clan. You wouldn't be able to utilize them to their full potential!"
"I want to give them to Mika as subordinate fortresses to her Cloud City." Muria looked at Samuel with a firm attitude, not budging an inch. "Twelve, not one less."
"My clansmen only get one upon advancing to legend, and you ask for twelve right off the bat. Impossible, at most..."
"Ahem, Samuel, let me speak fairly." Aludiba cleared his throat. "As a seraphim, interfering in the battle of allied juniors is indeed inappropriate. Twelve Cloud Cities is not too much."
"Ha, fair talk!" Samuel sneered, looking at the surrounding two titans and three dragon kings. His expression gradually calmed. "Fine, twelve Cloud Cities it is. I'll compensate!"
After speaking, he grabbed the equally furious Elish beside him and tore the space to leave.
"This is your mistake. You'll dismantle your Cloud City for compensation. You're a waste who doesn't need it anyway."
"No, ancestor, I will work hard in the future." Elish panicked instantly. Without a Cloud City, what would he be? How could he rise as a seraphim?
"Don't worry, I'll exile you to the frontier of the world cluster. If you don't work hard, you'll die there, sparing our Raphael line the embarrassment."
"Ancestor, without a Cloud City, I'll die!"
"I'll just dismantle all the small angel rebirth pools and medium semi-planes from your Cloud City. Why panic?"
...
"I'm preparing to return to the Uranus Empire now. Will you leave with the Ten Supreme Lords or with me?" Seeing Seraphim Samuel leave in a huff, Emperor Oswald asked Muria. He hadn't forgotten that he was the one who brought Muria here.
"I'll leave with you. Please wait a moment, Emperor!" Muria remembered the six young dragons he had captured, as well as the seventh princess Gladys and Dragon Princess Felicia. He had unfinished business.
Seeing Muria choose to leave with the Emperor, the Ten Supreme Lords smiled warmly at the three dragon kings and invited them: "Let's return to Erathia together. I have some matters to discuss with you."
The three dragon kings looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Although the three of them combined couldn't match the Ten Supreme Lords, they had no reason to fear Sayanod.
"Mika, come with me to the Prime Material Plane. Endless battles await you there." Watching the departure of the Ten Supreme Lords and the dragon kings, Muria looked at Mikaela, trying to lure her to the material world with an irresistible offer, at least in his opinion. But reality often defied expectations.
"I don't want to go to the material world now," Mikaela shook her head.
"Why? You can come back for your Cloud City after it's completed," Muria asked in confusion. Compared to the constant conflicts and bloodshed in the Prime Material Plane, the celestial realm was too peaceful. With Mikaela's temperament, it didn't suit her.
