Chapter 618: Chapter 614: How Is It You?! Chapter 618: Chapter 614: How Is It You?! Seventh Princess Gladys saw an extraordinarily strange scene. After the projections or avatars of those great nobles were crushed by Mureya’s might, a series of space teleportation waves emanated throughout the Imperial Palace.

Their real bodies arrived one after another, which was the only privilege they had. When the emperor wanted to summon them for important events, they must appear in person, but at times like this, when they were welcoming a triumphant victor, the rules were more relaxed, they could choose freely – usually an avatar or a projection, but now, they were forced by Mureya to have to show up in person.

Naturally, only at this moment could they teleport directly into the imperial palace. Normally, they wouldn’t dare dream of entering the palace, even if the emperor allowed it, they could only appear in predetermined locations.

“Ahem!”

Sitting on the imperial throne, Emperor Sandra couldn’t help but cough dryly as he saw Mureya turning his gaze over. Although seeing these great nobles embarrassed is a pleasing matter, one still needs to be mindful of the measure.

As the 154th emperor of the empire, Sandra possesses the supreme power. However, his reign hasn’t been very smooth. After all, the empire has existed for too long, and the tangled interests among various nobles and military powers are mind-boggling. There are so many restrictions and worries he has to consider, so now when he sees Mureya crushing everything, his mood is naturally delighted.

“What a pity!” Mureya found that these guys react truly swiftly. Their real bodies all teleported over after he crushed the projections of about thirty or so great nobles.

“Mureya Iapertos Eronsalas, sees Emperor Sandra!” Mureya looked up at the throne above in the palace, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant, he only gave a slight nod, an equal attitude. He did not feel the need to bow or kneel down in salute when meeting the most powerful person in the world.

This scene made those great nobles whose real bodies had teleported over have flickering eyes, even those marquis-level nobles whose projections had been crushed by Mureya choked back their anger because Mureya’s identity seemed rather terrifying.

“Congratulations on your triumph, and for defeating the little princess, the descendant of the Titan and the Dragon King, Mureya!” Sandra didn’t mind Mureya’s somewhat disrespectful and even somewhat arrogant attitude, as there was no point in minding it.

“The rumors are true!”

The emperor spoke out and personally confirmed Mureya’s identity, letting the great nobles of the empire understand what kind of existence was standing before them now. Hence all the great nobles, regardless of what they thought inside, regardless of whether they were willing, all had to wear a friendly mask to face Mureya. This is a political attitude.

They wouldn’t dare to show the slightest bit of hostility or evil intentions to Mureya. Even if the emperor ordered them to, their clan could be wiped out entirely, and they deserved it. No force would help them because this is an empire controlled by the royal family with the Titan bloodline. Anyone who dares to oppose the Titan must die.

“Thank you! It was your aid that helped me win this battle!” Mureya displayed uncommon humility, indeed, without the emperor issuing secret orders, he wouldn’t have even been able to reach the world of Solos. Moreover, he was able to return only through the star gate controlled by the royal family. The Chris royal family really treated him wholeheartedly.

Mureya would naturally remember all of this and give back more in the future. His present strength and influence were far too small compared to the size of the Uranos Empire, but in the future, Mureya is confident that the Chris royal family will know that all their current efforts are more than worth it.

Afterward, there was a pointless mutual flattery session, led by the current Emperor Sandra, along with a group of great nobles who had conveniently forgotten all that had just happened. The polite and face-saving fawning over Mureya made him feel lightheaded and somewhat confused, almost causing him to lose himself until Gladys reminded him, and Mureya fawned right back.

After all, he had once served as a grand duke himself, he just needed to slightly modify the flattering phrases that the nobles of the Lockman Kingdom used to praise him, then recite them.

Upon completing this pleasant mutual admiration session, Emperor Sandra, at his own expense and with his own people, held a grand celebration under his name. The opulence of the banquet and the laborer force involved gave Mureya a good glimpse of the seductive lure of the empire.

Then, at the moment the banquet ended, Mureya set off on his journey back to Xena Pus with his fleet, using the channel of the Deep Blue Commerce Association.

Mureya doesn’t avoid enjoyment, but he refuses to indulge in it, occasional relaxation is sufficient.

“Mureya!” Just as Mureya’s fleet was moving through the spatial rift, a snow-white big cat found Mureya.

“Hmm, Troy, what’s up?” Mureya reached out to rub its head, as satisfying as always.

“I can’t catch up to you anymore!” The pure white big cat, with its green pupils, looked at Mureya, unhidden loss in its eyes. In Mureya’s forces, Soul Intent level beings were an important pillar, yet they were insufficient.

It was Mureya’s contracted companion, but in battle, it could only watch Mureya take other creatures into the battlefield while it waited quietly in the back for the result. Nothing hurt its pride more than this.

It was a white tiger with a legendary bloodline, the king of all beasts by nature. It wasn’t a pet white cat raised by humans. Mureya played with it like a pet, but it was mainly jokes. He didn’t bring it on the battlefield simply because it wasn’t strong enough.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Mureya tousled all the fur on the white tiger’s back, then smoothed it back out, “Just wait a few more decades, and you’ll naturally become a legend. What’s this about not being able to catch up?”

“But by that time, what level will you have advanced to? The gap has already begun to form, and in the future, it’ll only grow greater.”

“Stupid cat, what kind of gap? I just ate and merged with divinity to advance, that’s all,” Mureya chuckled as he rubbed its head, scratching its chin, “If I had the ability, I’d get a line of divinity for you to eat too.”

“By the time you have the ability, I would have already advanced to the level of a legend!” Troy hummed in contentment.

“That’s exactly it,” Muria laughed, “Do you know what my plans and arrangements are for the future?”

“What are you planning to do next?”

“Conquer all Frost Giant Tribes, unify them, and assist Clodia to become the true Frost Queen, so her title truly fits her!” Muria’s eyes shone with a golden light. He planned to seize every chance to expand his power. “So, there will be many wars in the following period.”

“Are you going to help that white dragon again? And assist her in expanding her power.” Troy squinted his tiger eyes in dissatisfaction.

“Helping her means helping myself,” Muria explained patiently. “No matter how much she develops, she will obey my commands. What’s hers is mine, and what’s mine is still mine.”

“I understand.”

…

“Alert! Detecting dense spatial fluctuation. A large number of high-energy unidentified beings are about to break through the spatial lock of Xena Pus!”

“Detected the presence of the Lord of Xena Pus, Mureya. Comparing it with the remaining presence… 100% match confirmed. The master is returning!”

“Detecting the presence of Mels from the Central Intelligence Agency of Xena Pus… Comparing…”

…

“Confirmation that the first Void Expedition Fleet of Xena Pus broke the spatial lock. Alert terminated. Welcome back, master and warriors of Xena Pus!”

A series of urgent warnings resounded in Mia’s ears while she was busy handling the chores of Xena Pus. It was the first time she had heard such alerts since the magic-aided intelligence system of Xena Pus was set up. Mia looked surprised at first, but her face lit up in a joyous smile when she heard Muria’s name.

Hitching up her long dress, the dragonborn maid sprinted out of the central castle, while issuing various commands to prepare a welcome for Muria’s return…

“Mia, you’ve worked hard!” Upon stepping off the Void Battleship, Muria said comforting words to the golden-haired girl waiting for him, his tone slightly apologetic.

Within Xena Pus, the Chief Steward Mia could handle almost anything but had limited authority.

When Muria took all the legends of Xena Pus on expeditions to different worlds, all matters of Xena Pus had rested on her shoulders. It was evident that this dragon-like girl was truly tired. Muria could see the fatigue she couldn’t hide.

“It’s my duty, Sir Muria!” Mia responded in a dignified manner.

As Muria was about to say something, a strange throbbing pulse entered his chest. He looked up at the sky, and a few beats later, all the legendary figures who had just disembarked from the Void Battleship — Fiona, Frost Feather, and others — lifted their heads to gaze upward, leaving the giant and Five Colored Dragons perplexed.

However, since all the legendary figures were looking up, it was the right thing to “follow suit”. With this idea, Giants, Five Colored Dragons, and the residents of Xena Pus who had come to meet them also raised their heads to the sky.

And then, they saw it. The sky had collapsed!

Or rather, it wasn’t accurate to say that. Above the sky, beyond the void, there was an enormous construct breaking through the World Barrier and descending into the Erathia World. The landing point was “conveniently” Xena Pus, where Muria was currently.

Endless flame covered this neatly edged construct. It grew larger and larger in the eyes of the residents of Xena Pus, bringing intense oppressive pressure and an increasing burning sensation, like a falling sun.

“Cloud City!” Muria exclaimed in delight, recognising the name of this miraculous falling spectacle.

“Muria!” A furious roar resonated in the sky. A crimson streak broke away from the inconceivably large Cloud City and sped straight towards Muria.

Upon hearing the familiar male voice, Muria’s smile froze. “Brother-in-law? Why are you here?!”
