Aleron looked at the upgraded system and wondered, 'So that 4th function finally revealed its name. Origin Forge, eh? What does it do?'
[Gachapi: No idea. That's something the system created based on you, so it's for you to find out, master.]
'Interesting. Then that aside, I got a good thing,' Aleron grinned as he looked at the Banner Renewal. 'Now I can renew a limited banner without spending 10k Gacha points. It's either Job class or Zords for sure. I also want a bloodline though...hmmm, I'll decide later. It can be used according to the situation.'
Looking at the points Aleron wryly smiled, 'I need to gamble and gather points too. How much does the next upgrade cost?'
[Gachpi: 100k.]
'Alright. Well, I have an idea to gamble well, so I'll do that later. For now, let's finish the matter here.'
Aleron teleported and arrived at the location that Arran'tel told him.
Raqian Wilderness, the central part of the Northern Star Continent where no civilization of beastfolks was established due to the high number of powerful monsters and beasts there.
It was also the perfect place to hold the challenge.
Aleron arrived there first along with over 400 million Beastfolks imprisoned in his forcefield above him.
He sat on his Arcana throne leisurely and started preparation, setting up the screens all over the Nothern Star continent, at every place where beastfolks were located so that would be able to see the known big shots of their world getting punished and submitting.
The beastfolk all over the continent were already in uproar because many Beastfolks had vanished suddenly. They were surprised to see big screens appearing out of nowhere, but their surprise turned into shock when the screen showed the 400 million beastfolks trapped in the sky.
At Beast Empire Wildroar's Royal Palace, the Beast Emperor Raghara looked at the huge screen in the sky with narrowed eyes, "That area is Raqian Wilderness according to the stars."
He was a black tiger beastfolk with golden patterned fur, possessing a powerful Primeval- rank bloodline.
"Didn't Arran give us an invitation to go there just now? Seems to be related," Beast Empress Tilani frowned, her white tiger ears with black stripes twitched.
"The people were suddenly teleported away, but only that Primeval-rank Silverwing Hawk who lives in Raqian Wilderness has space powers. Even so, this scale of teleportation shouldn't be possible for that monster," Beast Emperor felt doubtful.
Silverwing Hawk was a powerful Primveal-rank monster living in the wilderness, but it just lived its life, eating and sleeping daily without bothering others since there was nothing else to do and no usable resources present to get more powerful except for the passing of time. "That invitation could be a trap, humph. No need to go there. I'll contact that bitch Nerathi and see what is her man up to with this invitation provoking us for a challenge," Beast Empress Tilani snorted.
...
Aleron had only targeted Beastfolks below Exceed-rank, so a small amount of red and black marks were still present on the map.
It was also not the case that all Exceed-rank and Primeval-rank were red or black marks. He saw a couple of very powerful auras having yellow marks.
After all, simply killing others wouldn't warrant them a red mark, but only if they killed someone innocent. And in this path to power where the strong clashed against the strong for resources and competition, death was normal.
But if they spread suffering and despair to innocents, who didn't do anything bad to them, then their mark would turn red.
Beastfolks worshipped power, so dying in a fair fight and competition was justified for them, just like the monsters in the jungle who fought against each other for territories and resources all the time, but still continued to live. Revenge was a notion to monsters, albeit a distant and ethereal one because their present life and peace were more important due to their wild
nature.
"Master, I am here."
Soon, Arran'tel arrived and floated before Aleron and bowed. "I've sent invites to all and worded the message in a way that would provoke them, thus making haste to arrive here."
He looked above and blinked his black oval pearly eyes filled.
"I'm sending you the memory of everything that happened so far, digest it first," Aleron said with a chuckle and sent memories and information of everything that had happened so far. 'Gachapi, start the memory extraction program of those four hundred million beastfolks using my Monitor Dome. I'll gather the people here since they seem slow,' Aleron said as he looked at the map and saw none of the powerful auras moving.
He was getting impatient as he had other things to do, but most importantly, he wanted to become a Warlord and gain some kind of new access to the cosmos only exclusive to Warlords from the will of this cosmos.
Arran'tel had sent invites to all of them to arrive at the Raqian Wilderness region, but it
wasn't like they were moving right away after getting the invite.
As such, Aleron decided to bring all of them here. He selected all Exceed-rank and Primvela- rank beastfolks in his radar before forcefully teleporting them in front of him.
The number of Exceed-rank powerhouses was 68, all beastfolks.
The number of Primeval-rank powerhouses totaled 8, among which seven were beastfolks
and one was a human.
Startled, all the powerhouses were immediately wary and distanced away from each other before looking at the imprisoned Beastfolks.
'What the fuck?!' the Human primeval-rank powerhouses started sweating buckets. He had been hiding here for three decades as he had arrived here when he was Exceed-rank.
He also became Primeval-rank after stumbling upon a secret realm that manifested at the right time a decade ago at the far east of the continent, allowing him to become a Primeval-
rank powerhouse.
Nobody knew about him and he roamed beast folk's cities disguised as a beastfolk while the secret realm's entrance was also aptly hidden by him, but now, he was suddenly teleported here when he was not in his disguised form and was meditating at his place...
'It seems everyone's focus is on them,' Varhen thought as he looked at Aleron and Arran'tel. 'Damn it, will they notice me if I suddenly put on my disguise beastfolks now?'
"Your powers truly know no bounds, my lord," Arran'tel said with amazement washing over
his eyes as he got to know everything.
"Arran? What's going on?"
Monster Head Nerathi, the beautiful serpent lady and Arran'tel darling, asked with confusion.
"Is he the lord you talked about?"
The other big shots warily looked at Aleron and Arran'tel.
'His aura is that of early-stage Primeval rank. He can't be Arran's lord, right?' Nerathi
thought.
"The challenge you all received from Arran was from me," Aleron faintly smiled as he faced
them, and rested his elbow on the Arcana throne's armrest while resting his chin on his
balled-up fist.
All the screens all over the continent showed Aleron and the big shots in wide-angle, allowing everyone to see both parties before Aleron dropped his statement.
"Let me begin by saying that the Light dusk Continent and Demonic Continent are completely
under my rule at the moment."
"And from now on, this Northern Star Continent will be under my rule, in which everyone will flourish and thrive."
The big-shot beastfolks were shocked and dumbfounded at his statements.
"A mere early-stage Primeval-rank dares to boast such claims?" Beast Head Alysia snorted.
She was a blue-skinned beautiful and busty beastfolk woman with six eyes like a spider and the rest of the body like a human.
Aleron's eyes flashed and he isolated the space around everyone before him, including the
human.
"Try to break free, but don't struggle too much to waste your energy or you won't be able to fight later on."
At the moment, all Primeval-rank and Exceed-ranks showed utter shock in their eyes as they were completely bound, suspended in the air as if the space itself as constrained them.
While they began to try to break free, Aleron glanced at eleven powerhouses among them who
had yellow marks.
Those two Primeval ranks and nine Exceed-rank powerhouses disappeared and found themselves appearing before Aleron just two meters away from him.
The two Primeval ranks were Monster Head Nerathi, the leader of Monster Paradise Guild. She
had established a guild for beastfolks and intelligent monsters who could shapeshift all over
the continent who were discriminated against and subjected to violence by other pure lineages of Beastfolks.
She was a good ruler who didn't spread suffering to the weak and innocent.
Aleron smiled. Aleron finished reading Nerathi's memories in a jiffy and understood everything about her.
'It's good that I don't have to punish Arran'tel's wife, hahaha.'
The other primeval rank was the human and he was finally in the spotlight as the beastfolks
were confused as to why such a powerful human was here in the Northern Star Continent.
'Varhen Blake, what a lucky guy,' Aleron internally chuckled as he finished reading Varhen's memories.
Nerathi and Varhen both felt something fleeting but didn't know it was Aleron reading their memories.
'I guess only Ascension-rank can isolate and defend their souls from getting scouted or that these Primeval-rank haven't learned how to isolate their souls,' Aleron thought.
Of course, if his Soul potency was weaker, then he wouldn't be able to enter their soul sea even
if they didn't isolate their souls.
"The eleven of you are spectators, not participants," Aleron said to the seven of them with a
faint smile. "I am going to free you, so don't try to escape or do anything foolish because it is
futile."
"Nera, listen to him, please," Arran said with a serious expression.
Nerathi pouted at him before turning to Aleron with a confused expression, "So you are his
Master, eh?...why are you weak, yet so strong?"
"You will know later," Aleron chuckled and freed all of them.
