Chapter 98: Future Guardian Deity
After having a good night with Veronica and finally adding another race to his dual cultivation group, Minato headed straight to his world.
Here, the frost dwarves' representative, Eldric, had been patiently waiting for his master.
The moment Minato appeared, his eyes gleamed in anticipation, and he bowed with the utmost respect!
"Welcome back, Master! Congratulations on your victory over the empire and conquering the Volcano Lizards! May the glory follow you, and those lizards serve you passionately!" Eldric had been thinking about the words toward his master since the battle had ended.
That was what he came up with.
Minato chuckled, "It was not conquering since they waited for me. But, out of all races, Volcano Lizards left an excellent impression indeed on me. I didn't expect them to catch the dungeon raiders, the royalties, and other fleeing people like that.
And... Their bodies are enticing and fun," Minato added honestly as it was just him and Eldric.
He lacked male buddies, so those male representatives unknowingly grew closer to him. Of course, the fact that they were treated more than friends less than servants had eluded most of those male leaders.
Whether they knew or not didn't really matter.
If they knew, they would be just overjoyed. Their attitudes wouldn't change due to them being hard-working and diligent fellows.
Eldric nodded with a smile, "We aren't fond of warmth, but that kind of warmth pleases even us." His eyebrows sprang.
Minato burst out laughing, then patted the guy's hair, "Well then. Gather your Frost Dwarves. I have Ingrid call other races, then I will officially pass you one of my mecha armors."
"Yes! Yes, Master!" Eldric clenched his fists.
He spun around to convey the message to all his races.
Alas, Minato stopped him, just for a second.
"Nurture your cooperation with Ice Trolls. I find it impossible for your two races to copulate, but friendship is as valuable as it. I was really excited when I heard about your teamwork, you know?" The Overlord genuinely smiled, leaving the Frost Dwarf dazed.
No words came from Eldric despite his mouth wide open, and he just stared at Minato with big eyes. Soon, he broke into a genuine smile as well, "We will do, Master. May I inquire with you about your next plan?"
"Hmm... Do you have anything in mind?" Minato curiously asked.
Besides the Ice Fortress out of the vast river, Minato planned to pass the empire's territories for Julia and her mother. That would help them grow faster in strength and regain confidence.
After all, other royalties had their minds tampered with. They believed the Empire failed their attack at them and that they alone fended off all enemies. Leaving only Julia and her mother aware of the truth, Minato aimed to steel their hearts and let them rule for as long as he lived.
Eldric and Minato shared the same ideas. They casually talked, and Eldric exposed all details about his cooperation with the Ice Trolls.
Minato gave him a free hand and surely would soon request the Ice Trolls to pass their techniques to the ice royalties.
At last, all races had gathered.
They gathered around Minato's Overlord Pillar. However, their master liked the world tree and already had his podium here, so he just stood here instead of using his powerful existence.
Still, these two towering treasures were in one view.
Next, Minato had Ingrid while Aya casually looked over all races from his left side. She couldn't grasp all those races in one shot as their numbers grew too high! It wasn't just five races now, but many more as Minato was close to completing his dungeon tour in the Hard Steel Empire.
Elves took the front and were in the middle. However, today's show belonged to the race next to them, obviously the Frost Dwarves.
However, the surprise was that the Volcano Lizards were also next to the nature races. That was undoubtedly due to the dual cultivation with their master.
Many eyes often went through Veronica's curves.
She just lifted her chin, held her hand on her waist, and drew even more attention with her beautiful body bare.
Well, that was indeed their usual attire!
"Frost Dwarves won yesterday's battle. They gathered the most achievements and made us proud. Today, all of you shall witness the mecha armor entering their lands!" Minato declared, lifting his hand up.
One of the mecha armors, who stood motionless around the Overlord Pillar, trembled. Its body rose on two feet, then it stomped heavily toward the frost dwarves' representative.
Eldric raised his eyes. Following his gaze, all his people did the same, and they stared at the mecha armor who would become their guardian deity in the future.
Their right hands clenched, struck their left palms powerfully, then all bowed in reverence, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing us with your weapon!"
"Rise," Minato said without feeling any cringe emotions.
How could he feel weird with so many people genuinely fueling his power with respect and affection? He stood like the Overlord he was, then shifted his eyes to Ingrid, "I am mostly interested in their armors. Have Volcano Lizards scour the whole empire's castle and try to reproduce them. The rest of the loot shall be distributed based on the achievements in the battle. Keep an eye on watch shifts in both worlds."
"Yes, Minato," the elven queen bowed, dropping those lovely peaks down.
Minato lifted her chin and caressed her cheek with his bent finger, "Sorry, Ingrid. I know your feelings, and I am willing to reciprocate them, but you are the only one I can leave it to."
"I like to work, Minato! It's more comfortable than before, and I wake up every day with a serene heart. It's all thanks to you," Ingrid sweetly smiled, making other elves grin from ear to ear.
Even though the new race appeared, no one would beat their cute elven queen!
Minato chuckled, "I will meet you later in your garden. Show me how you've developed those Earth's flowers."
"I will wait for you!" Ingrid's whole expression lit up, and she was more eager to work than before!
Minato left the world and went to take care of his responsibilities.
