Chapter 877: Chapter 865: When It’s Safe, Dad is Most Dangerous Chapter 877: Chapter 865: When It’s Safe, Dad is Most Dangerous Thus, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, starves his body and skin, leaves his body empty and worn… Muria inexplicably remembered an article he had memorized in his past life, and then, his gaze towards his son became even gentler.

“Child, don’t blame your father for being harsh, since you are destined to become an emperor, then you must become a great one, one of noble character—a sage king. But with your current identity, this will be difficult.”

“What are you thinking of doing?” Michaela sensed that Muria seemed intent on doing something questionable and stepped forward, intending to take her son out of Muria’s hands.

“I just want him to become a great emperor!”

“So?” Michaela looked at Muria.

“I believe that the existing education of the Dragon Race, Blazing Sky God Race, or Titan Tribe, none are suitable for Aeolus.”

Muria laid out his thoughts to Michaela, he had to persuade his wife if he wanted to carry out the education he had in mind for his son; otherwise, Muria had no doubts that his wife would resort to physical confrontation…

“This is my plan.” Looking at Aeolus who had eaten his fill and fallen into a deep sleep, Muria described to Michaela in detail the future plans he had for their eldest son.

“He is your son!” After hearing Muria’s plan, Michaela looked at him, and if not for the extremely similar auras between Muria and Aeolus, she would have doubted whether Aeolus was Muria’s biological son. What kind of father treats his son this way? Neither the Dragon Race nor the Titan Tribe had ever heard of such a thing.

“I know, and because he is my son, that’s why I have such strict requirements for him. I wouldn’t bother investing so many resources in anyone else,” Muria replied.

Muria looked at his son, who had drifted off into a deep sleep, his gaze peculiar, like that of a big kid who had received a new toy.

Michaela frowned, she hadn’t imagined that her husband would contrive such a vast and mad plan for their son, “Fine, but you must not allow any accidents that could endanger his life.”

“Experience comes with its risks, and he will face some dangers, but I will certainly ensure they do not harm his life, I swear,” Muria vowed to his wife.

“I agree!” Michaela nodded somewhat helplessly, she knew that neither the traditional education of the Titan Tribe nor the teachings of the Blazing Sky God Race were suitable for a king. It had to be as Muria conceived, though it meant Aeolus would have a somewhat miserable childhood, his future would undoubtedly be bright.

…

In the Senapus Subcontinent, on the Demon-binding Plain.

Under a gray sky, above a deserted city, a space rift slowly appeared from nowhere, and an old but robust and rosy-cheeked Dragon Person stepped out first, followed by a dozen or so Dragon People with horns on their foreheads.

“Such a fine city, to be sunk just like that, truly is a pity!” The elder who stepped out first looked down at the already empty city below with a hint of regret in his eyes.

It was a city constructed and planned with great precision—Lord’s Mansion, residential area, business district, barracks, city walls, watchtowers…Everything a large city should have, this city had it all. The facilities were relatively well-preserved, with not much damage, and it would be no problem to make some repairs and settle a hundred thousand humans.

“To think such a good city has to be submerged underground, what on earth were the brains at the United War Department thinking?” Hearing the old Dragon’s sigh, a Dragon Person following behind also spoke out in agreement, eyes full of regret when looking at the city below.

“Quit the useless talk. This is an order from the United War Department, and they are absolutely infallible. Since they’ve issued such an order, there must be sound reasoning behind it. Our job is simply to follow orders.”

“What kind of thinking is that? Just because the United War Department issues orders, it means they’re correct? The United War Department is also made up of elites chosen from various races. They are living beings and can make mistakes statistically just like anyone else!”

“The United War Department can indeed make mistakes, but those are only in situations with insufficient information. When has the United War Department ever been wrong when data is plentiful? You could pick any Gnome from their ranks, and they would surpass you in intelligence.”

“You…” Being told that even a Gnome would outsmart him in intelligence, the Dragon Person was immediately enraged.

“Do you wish to be punished? Xena Pus has already issued explicit regulations forbidding any discrimination against races born with defects. Gnomes may find it difficult to give birth to powerful extraordinary individuals, but gnomes are naturally intelligent scholars!”

“Such an inferior race…” A Dragon Person sneered disdainfully, for to them, gnomes could only be considered expendable slaves. However, in Xena Pus, some gnomes had appeared within the ranks of management, their status even surpassing that of the majority of dragons.

“Enough, since the mission has been accepted, it must be carried out honestly!” Hearing the Dragon People behind him start to argue incessantly about the decrees of Xena Pus, the Old Dragon Person turned back somewhat helplessly to rebuke them.

“Quiet down, everyone, start the mission! If such a mission fails, you might even be scolded by a gnome!”

Under the command of the leading Old Dragon, the dozen or so Dragon People who had come with him quieted down and began to cast spells, mysterious incantations that harnessed extraordinary powers, then pierced through time and space, connecting the semi-plane and different space derived from the Erathia World.

One Space Gate after another appeared in the sky above this slightly dilapidated city, and then hordes of demonic monsters swarmed out of these Space Gates. These Dragon mage waved their Magic Staves, driving all the monsters into the city.

When the city had been completely overtaken by monsters from the Different Plane, the Dragon mages dispersed, standing around the city, forming a perfect circle. Then, under the guidance of the dragons, they began to establish a huge Magic Array, completely sealing off the entire city, isolating it from the outside world.

“The next step is the last one!” Looking at the city that had become a monster’s nest with tens of thousands of monsters sealed within, the Dragon mage waved his Magic Staff and then chanted a spell, invoking the Earth elements within the ground to become active.

As the Old Dragon swung his Magic Staff, the ground of this region began to tremble slightly, and a large crack appeared along the boundary of the city, encircling it in a very regular manner, completely severing it from the surrounding land.

Then, with a rumbling sound, the sealed city began to sink into the ground, and endless rubble fell, burying the entire city within it.

“The mission is completed!” Watching the monster’s nest completely sink underground, the Old Dragon nodded in satisfaction.

Regarding this mission, he had many doubts, such as why a well-preserved city needed to be buried underground, why summon so many monsters and seal them within, and moreover, the sealing Magic Array clearly had significant issues.

However, the Old Dragon knew that it was not his place to probe further. The spells to summon monsters and the Magic Array to seal the city were all dispatched along with the mission, which was also an Arrangement of the United War Department.

Some things you are not meant to know, you shouldn’t seek the reasons, otherwise it would be very unpleasant to be invited over for tea by those fellows from the Demonic Abyss (Xena Pus’s intelligence department).

“Let’s move on to the next location!” Pulling out his pocket watch to check the time and seeing that the mission had been completed on schedule, the Old Dragon nodded satisfactorily, then swung his Magic Staff to tear through space, leading his group of newly graduated academy mages to carry out the next mission.

Not long after these Dragon mages had left, another team of mages, shrouded in the light of Elements, tore through space and arrived. They looked at the freshly turned ground, exchanged glances, then efficiently constructed another Teleportation Array, stepping consecutively into it, which could only be maintained for a quarter of an hour, and disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, buried underground, alongside the tens of thousands of monsters that had been sealed with it, this pair of mages appeared in the city. As they did so, dozens of glowing beastly eyes looked towards them, and then, all the demonic monsters ran away in terror.

“We’ve done it once already, let’s be quick the second time, quickly settle these monsters, and assign them their own territory and dens!”

The leading mage stood on the rooftop of a residential building, issuing orders calmly.

Their mission was to enter the sealed city and properly arrange the summoned monsters by category. The summoned monsters had all been calculated.

From the lowest Earth-eating Rats to the highest Explosive Flame Earth Dragons, they would perfectly construct a small ecological cycle that could last a long time.

The monsters were summoned here to be directly crammed into this city. After a period of mutual slaughter, they would naturally form an ecosystem. However, it seemed Xena Pus did not want to wait so long. They wanted an immediately formed, experiment-ready ecosystem.

They would plant fern-like plants that could grow in the darkness, absorbing stray elements, in every corner of this city, providing the most basic food source for the low-level monsters living in the city.
