Chapter 962 Wiped
Michael wouldn't have any problems attaining godhood as long as he worked with the God Curses. The three God Curses had verified that with him a few times already. It would take a while and some resources, and he would have to upgrade his Soultrait Symbols quite a bit if he wanted to attain godhood or become a Demi-God, but it was feasible.
Michael was happy about that because he needed as much power as possible, but it also showed him how much the God Curses were willing to invest in him. They were in dire need of him...after he attained godhood. There was something he would have to do, and Michael was fairly sure it would be dangerous.
He had to prepare for it.
The pressure on Michael increased steadily, but his time with Alice and Lucia was destressing. The same could be said about the events happening to the people in his territory. They were quite interesting and definitely unexpected.
Kaleb Zenovia had been single all his life, and not even Alice expected him to fall in love anytime soon, but the youngest of the Zenovia household fell in love...with a Princess.
Kaleb was in love with Tiara from the Silverfang Tigerfolk, but she rejected him several times already. She didn't even pay much attention to him over the years, whereas Kaleb Zenovia fell hard. Her behavior and how she kept a distance from him must have pulled some strings, striking him square in the chest.
Michael was unsure what exactly had happened between them, but he knew Kaleb was madly in love. He was loyal and persistent. Tiara rejected him for now, yet Michael could tell that her adamant nature crumbled slowly. It might take a few more years, but if Kaleb managed to break through her barriers, they would become a happy couple.
Unfortunately, the Silverfang Tigerfolk were busy with their own things. Tiara and Caesus told Michael about their plans, forcing Michael to decide what they were going to do. Even though the Silverfang Tigerfolk were primarily bound to their Princess and Crown Prince, Michael was still in full control of them. The Links of Loyalty were still with him.
"What happened to you and the others?" Michael asked while flooding her system with nature-attributed energy, lifeforce, and advanced healing serum.
Hesta groaned in pain, "These bastards have been focusing on us for the last few months. We managed to take down several forts and Selena alongside the Nest Elders conquered a few planets but...the situation isn't looking all that great."
Michael couldn't make use of Hesta's intel. He had already known about the Supreme Human Alliance's actions and that the Nest managed to reclaim some of the Altors Union's planets. The Supreme Human Alliance didn't defend them well enough and continued attacking. But something must have changed.
"Wait. You're saying the Supreme Human Alliance is focusing on the Nest? Why would they do that? The Altors Union has far more powerhouses. Curse Users are dangerous to the SHA and their Blood Incursion, but there are not many."
Hesta shrugged in pain.
"I think they changed their priorities after suffering too many casualties. Our sudden power-up must have shocked them. They took a while to adjust their tactics and devise a proper tactic to deal with us...but they did it."
Michael frowned deeply.
"How many did we lose?" At that moment, Selena entered the infirmary. She'd been informed about the sudden use of energy in the infirmary and recognized Michael's energy fluctuations.
"Half of the Nest's forces were wiped out," She announced solemnly, "And the rest you can see here...
