Chapter 887 Millions

887 Millions

Unleashing the full force of True Extraction – augmented by Soul Tear – on more than 500,000 Summons, of which most were only at the 1st Tier, with only 50,000 Tier-2 Summons and 5,439 Awakened generated generous loot to plunder.

First of all, Michael was surprised that there were almost a dozen Tier-5 powerhouses, including the Blaze Lord, with fragile foundations, while 25% of the remaining Awakened were Higher Lifeforms at the 4th Tier. The rest were Tier-3 Awakened, who had been trained very well by the Blaze household. For the Tritan Alliance's standards of Subordinates, they weren't weak. However, it was unfortunate that they weren't strong enough to fight Michael's Untamed Awakened and his Untamed Army. Well, it was only unfortunate for them. Michael was glad.

The 500,000 Summon bodies were looted, generating 16,500,000 Summoning Scroll Fragments, 38,500 Summoning Scrolls, 32,000 blueprints, and more than 4,000 Artifacts. Michael had forgotten for how long Summons had dropped Scroll Fragments and complete Scrolls, but he knew True Extraction with Soul Tear increased the drop rate quite a bit.

The loot acquired from the Summons was great. If he sold everything on the market, he would procure a decent fortune, especially for the Artifacts. By combining them, Michael could transform the piles of useless Artifacts into Tierless and Tier-1 Legendary Artifacts. Legendary Artifacts, whether natural or crafted, were valuable even in the Cosmic Shop, Michael could use the high demand to increase his shop's reputation and level quickly – even faster than he was already doing.

His Cosmic Shop was already doing well enough with the Soultrait Symbols he had sold. The Legendary Artifacts and some other loot, potentially Legendary Scrolls, Mythical Scrolls, and Named Scrolls of high star-rating, were only an appetizer, as well as the biggest margin of profit because it would be a rare occasion for him to sell Soultrait Symbols in the Cosmic Shop. Michael wasn't going to transform his Soultrait Symbols into a piggy bank. He didn't have enough to do so. His territories and people would profit more by acquiring the Soultrait Symbols and Soultrait Upgrades instead of giving them to others.

Whereas the pile of loot from the Summons was simple and straightforward, the gains made from 5,439 Awakened were a little bit more complex. First and foremost, Michael procured more than 10,000 Memory Orbs. He wouldn't consume all of them. In fact, only the memories of the Tier-5 powerhouses and the members of the Blaze household were valuable to Michael at this point. He could sell the rest in the Jungle Shop alongside the open opportunity to use the Needle of the Lost Memories if they were unwilling to keep all memories within the Memory Orb in their minds. The only memories they truly needed were about the Awakened's martial arts experience, his combat experience, tips, and tricks related to fighting, meditating, refining the body, mind, and soul to accelerate their progress, and so forth. Michael decided to experiment with the Memory Orbs, hoping his subjects would be able to use them to their advantage.

Besides the Memory Orbs, Michael procured blueprints and similar common loot from the Will. Instead, he dismissed them and focused on the portions of the deceased Awakened's War Rune storages. Most didn't have many valuable things other than some energy stones and ordinary techniques, but even those things were better than nothing. Michael procured everything and hoarded it to offer them for sale in the Jungle Shop. He didn't need most things from the Blaze household's Lords and settlements. That excluded the most important pieces of loot, of course.

Michael acquired 601 Soultrait Symbols and 2,978,000 SoulStar Fragments.

He couldn't believe it when he realized how many SoulStar Fragments he'd procured, but it was a fact. The dozen Tier-5 powerhouses created only a small portion of 50,000 SoulStar Fragments, whereas the remaining 1,600 Higher Lifeforms amassed a small fortune of close to 1.7 million SoulStar Fragments. Since the remaining Awakened had either been at the Late ranks or Peak of the 3rd Tier, they created the missing portion to amass almost three million Soul Star Fragments.

In fact, combined with the remaining fortune in his War Rune, Michael had accumulated more than three million SoulStar Fragments!

He offered Frederik and the others some Soultrait Upgrades when he realized how many SoulStar Fragments he'd procured, but Tiara and Hiraku stepped in long before Frederik could go into Michael's arms like a young maiden.

"You need as much power as possible to fight the Blaze Patriarch. We know he's weaker than ever, but that man is still a Tier-6 powerhouse who'd turned the Tritan Alliance upside down. Everyone would be happy about procuring and upgrading more Soultrait Symbols, but they will be useless if everyone dies fighting the Blaze Patriarch." Hiraku said, taking Michael by surprise. However, Michael wasn't surprised by the obvious points Hiraku had mentioned. "You're finally accepting my Soultrait Symbols?" He asked Hiraku, whose nose scrunched before his eyes narrowed into tiny slits.

"That is not the point, is it?"

"But you do want my Soultrait Symbols?"

Michael nodded curtly and turned away from Tiara. He didn't grace her with another glance. The Silverfang Princess winced while Master Tigris sighed deeply. Even though their Princess had been with Michael Fang from the beginning, it was a fact that Michael gained a lot less from their relationship than Tiara and the Silverfang Tigerfolk. The Lord didn't lose out in their relationship, but the Silverfang Princess gained many benefits compared to her Lord. However, it seemed like Tiara had forgotten about that. She had also forgotten that Michael was their Lord and that he was responsible for his subjects of several races. Tiara was already stirring problems because of the Silverfangs now that her brother had returned. If everyone acted as pompous as the young Silverfang, Michael would have difficulty ruling his territory. He had to intercept her behavior and discipline her.

Master Tigris understood that point, but it was unfortunate. Caesus wasn't as long in Michael's territory as Tiara, yet the princess seemed to lose his favor while Caesus attracted Michael's attention. "You are the Silverfang Princess. Please, Your Worship, act like that!" Master Tigris hissed into her ears.

Michael heard Master Tigris and shrugged. He didn't think much about Tiara's behavior. The sibling problem was something they could solve on their own. The council meeting wasn't intended for such a thing.

He turned to Caesus and nodded, "I'll upgrade your Soultrait to 4-Star. You might not have enough Jungle Points, but that doesn't matter. The remaining Jungle Points can be acquired in the battle against the Blaze Patriarch and his people." "Though, I don't think it will be as difficult as everyone presumed," Michael shrugged, his eyes trailing the Starheaven Pharaoh, who nodded subtly. Everything was going according to plan.

"Still...can you use the SoulStar Fragments on yourself, please? To ensure to everyone that everything will be alright?" Lilica asked.

Michael thought about it for a second. He retrieved 400 SoulStar Fragments and handed them to Caesus before flashing a vibrant smile at the Forest Elf.

"That shouldn't be a problem. I can do that."
