Undying Warlord

"How can I help you?"

Dilan smiled when he saw the attitude of the Queen's Image, but he felt a little bit weird as well. After the Queen of Immortality had beaten the shit out of him for thousands of years in the City of Trials, another Image of hers bowed her head in front of him.

It was a sign of utmost respect that was worth much more than the Ascenders in the emergency room could fathom.

For most of them, the Image was just a Fragmented Divinity, the Administrator of the flying island. While that was already something of high value for the Ascenders, the Queen's Image was not just that.

The Image was the Queen of Immortality, though only a fraction of her, she was a True God. As if that was not enough, the Queen of Immortality was considered one of the oldest True Gods. Even the Great Wise, who was considered old man by everyone was just a kid in the eyes of the Queen of Immortality.

Thus, the fact that she paid her respect to him was not something Dilan could digest properly, and it was exactly the same for everyone else, though for a reason that was not exactly that noteworthy, in Dilan's opinion at least.

"Did the Divinity just bow toward Dilan?" Williams asked. He was flustered, and he was not the only one.

"Yes, it looks like that." Yvonne nodded her head.

"What the hell am I missing out here?!?" Kathrine roared out before a miserable "Ouch!" followed suit as she attempted to move up from her bed.

"They're acquaintances if you want to put it like that," Siegfried explained shortly before he began to laugh out loud. He felt really good despite the exhaustion that spread through his entire body. A bright smile forced itself on his face and he couldn't hide it anymore.

His Uncle was just too amazing…how was he supposed not to brag about him?!

Siegfried was glared at by his mother and Marie, but he could just smile weakly.

At that moment, a batch of four Ascenders charged inside the room. A slightly older middle-aged couple and two younger Ascenders had barged into the emergency room.

Their eyes were fixated on the Queen's Image for a moment before they saw Siegfried laughing inside his bed.

"This rascal…" The younger man of the group of four grumble loudly before he started to move toward the bed of his son.

"Long time no see, Clark. Are you just going to ignore me?" Dilan asked lightly as he saw the complete batch of the Mekaz family for the first time since he had returned to Milarn.

Lara had always been with Marie and her Son, which had confused Dilan quite a bit. However, looking at Clark Mekaz's appearance and the fluctuations of his mana, it was quite obvious that he had gone through a lot in the last few days, or maybe even weeks.

'Looks like he changed quite a bit. Is he a proper fighter now?'

Clark turned his head when he heard the familiar voice and his eyes widened.

"You really came back...was about time, don't you think so? Leaving all that hard work to take care of everything for us!?!" Clark started complaining while he walked over to his son's bed. He looked at his son and tried to figure out what Siegfried was missing when he noticed that Siegfried stared at him in all seriousness.

There was no laughter left in his expression.

"Don't treat my Uncle like that. He had it much harder than the things we faced…" Siegfried said while staring straight into his father's eyes.

Clark was astonished about his son's sudden rebellion and he was momentarily stunned. But Clark was not the only one. His sister and parents were also a little astonished about Siegfried's behavior.

"Eh…okay, I understand…" Clark said, unsure what else he was supposed to say.

It was also only at this moment that he realized something his entire family had ignored when they barged in the emergency room.

There were a total of 20 Demi Gods looking at them with squinted eyes…and the Divinity looking at Dilan, waiting to hear his command.

It looked like the Demi Gods cursed at them at this very moment and Lara had to pull Clark aside to inform him what was going on.

"HUH?!" Clark exclaimed loudly, his eyes wide open.

Clark looked at Dilan, the returnee after more than two decades, but Dilan had already averted his attention.

There were more important things to do than looking at Clark.

"Can you have the Simulation room function?" He finally asked the Queen's Image.

The Simulation room function was basically what the name suggested. It was the function to create a room where something would be simulated.

"The function is currently deactivated, but it should be possible to activate it as long as I re-..." The Queen's Image was not even allowed to finish speaking when exactly 112 huge Essence crystals landed in front of her.

All of them were large in size, but 12 were even bigger than a human's head. The Queen's image looked at Dilan for a moment before she scanned through the Essence crystals.

"I can activate five Basic Simulation rooms for a year." She added and Dilan nodded his head.

"You can also activate more simulation rooms for a shorter period. What's the limit of room you can activate at once?"

"I do not have a limit" The Queen's Image answered.

A smile crept up Dilan's mouth and his eyes began to gleam brightly.

If the Demi Gods didn't know better, they would imagine that Dilan was evil and that he had finally found his pray…or was that actually the case?

However, what the Demi Gods were more focused on than Dilan's creepy grin were the Essence crystals that had appeared in front of Dilan.

"How large…are all of those Tier-5 Essence crystals…no that cannot be…but why are they so large?"

"More importantly…why does he have those Essence crystals? He is only a fourth Tier Ascender!"

"..."

More and more questions appeared in the room and none of the Undying Group's members were able to hide their smiles anymore.

Even Ben and the other newcomers began to smile at the other Demi Gods' reactions.

If they only knew…
