Chapter 1114: A Task Like No Other, Housewarming Festivities



"We have information about the Drayal Alliance, who are plotting an ambush on the Runaway Cities here. If Paradise provides us with aid, we can dismantle the alliance and make them submit themselves to Paradise. One Stowaway might not be enough to offer any value, but more than three hundred more should suffice," Iyalis responded, her teeth clenched as she awaited his response.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Orion raised a brow at her words. "And you can do that yourself?" He asked.

Iyalis nodded hesitantly, responding, "It might be a bit difficult, but it's not impossible. With enough time, we can definitely complete the task."

Orion pondered for a moment before responding, "Alright, if you can achieve something like that, I will accept the Stone Fang Stowaway's allegiance, and your status will be no less than that of the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise and Trekking Flamingo Runaway Cities."

Iyalis's eyes gleamed at his words. "Thank you, Supreme Leader," she replied, her voice tinged with excitement. She quickly suppressed her emotions and recomposed herself. With the Supreme Leader's agreement, her mind and body relaxed.

"One more thing..." Orion added. He stepped forward, stretching a finger toward Iyalis. Iyalis quivered, shutting her eyes tightly, not daring to open them.

"This is the only help Paradise will provide to you," Orion said, placing his index finger on Iyalis's forehead.

The One-winged mark appeared, radiating an intense light.

Iyalis felt her body heat up as a sudden surge of unfamiliar power erupted from her forehead, spreading to every fibre of her being. Her muscles twitched and contorted, causing sharp flares of pain to surge through her.

It felt like her body was breaking down and reconstructing at an atomic level. Even the lingering Vylkr energy within her, which had granted her a terrifying constitution as a gods' chosen, was torn apart easily. Her entire body was being rebuilt to withstand the immense Celestial energy flowing into her from the environment.

"Ah!" Iyalis moaned in pain, alerting the Stone Fang Stowaway leaders and gods' chosens behind her.

Before they could react, Orion exerted an overwhelming pressure, rendering them immobile. It was done effortlessly, with the immense Celestial energy swirling in the air.

Feeling the immense weight pressing down on them, they gritted their teeth in fear and frustration, choosing not to struggle. They wondered if they had done something to anger the powerful individual before them.

Then...

Suddenly, multiple vibrant golden chains burst from the centre of the rune on Iyalis's forehead, wrapping around her body and restraining her.

BOOM!!

A wave of celestial energy exploded from Iyalis's body, shaking even those from the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City.

Stunned, the leaders and gods' chosens of the Stone Fang Stowaway could only watch the scene unfold in shock, while those from the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City observed with interest.

Meanwhile, Orion continued to observe as Iyalis's BEM rose sharply.

[ Energy Level - 507 BEM.]

[ Energy Level - 1022 BEM. ]

It was time for the Four-Eared Elves' new residence opening celebration.

Orion stood with Paradise's key leaders beside him, observing as Patriarch Rylan concluded

his heartfelt speech.

"For this moment, I will be stepping down from my role as Patriarch to give the next

generation a chance to prove they are capable of handling leadership," Patriarch Rylan

announced.

He gestured for Lyndon, who stood below the stage with the Four-Eared Elves' gods' chosens beside him, to come forward.

"He will be the new Patriarch of the Four-Eared Elf race!" Former Patriarch Rylan declared, clasping his right hand on his son's shoulder.

Lyndon stepped forward and began delivering the speech he had prepared beforehand.

Orion was aware that Isadora had been intended to be the next in line to handle the position of female patriarch. However, Lyndon was chosen as the successor due to her current position

and unique situation.

His partner was Leona, a gods' chosen, who would help him consolidate his authority among the Four-Eared Elves and manage their remaining gods' chosens alongside the future

generation.

Due to the Vylkr energy's effect on Leona's fertility, conceiving an offspring would be

difficult. Yet, Former Patriarch Rylan was determined to ensure they overcome this challenge. After all, if they continued trying for a few decades, Leona would eventually become pregnant

and conceive an heir.

Once the speeches were done, they descended from the stage and led the way toward a red cloth stretched between two trees.

On the other side of the trees stood many wooden buildings spread across the ground and among the trees. The new city did not have gates.

The homes resembled those of the Pixies, which was understandable since they had helped design the layout, given their experience building such structures. However, instead of being built into the vegetation, these homes were constructed with wood and metal, making them easier to renovate and offering additional advantages.

Lyndon handed Orion a sizable pair of scissors. "Please, Supreme Leader, do us the honour of opening the gates to our new home," Lyndon said with a smile.

Orion accepted the large scissors and nodded. He gestured for Reena to join him as he walked forward, choosing to perform the task as the Supreme Leader and Village Chief. Former Patriarch Rylan, Lyndon, Isadora, and several other Four-Eared Elves understood what was happening, broad smiles blossoming on their faces. As Supreme Leader, Orion treated every race and authority impartially, regardless of who they were.

However, as Village Chief, his judgments could sway either way, depending on his discretion. Receiving such acknowledgement before the other key leaders and influential figures within Paradise subtly showed his support.
