Chapter 1213  Divine Medallion Of Sovereign Accord

Even Iris and Fifi, listening attentively from their seats in the distance, stared at Orion in shock, gulping audibly. Soon, a wave of excitement washed over them, just like the others, as they realised that with the Supreme Leader's ascension to godhood, Paradise had also risen in power.

Fifi had been worried that with three additional divine beings in Paradise, Orion might be overshadowed despite his authority. Aurora alone wouldn't be enough to protect him. However, it seemed her worries were unfounded. With his status as a divine anomaly, even the gods would grant him the respect he deserved.

'As expected of my husband,' Fifi thought, smiling.

'The Supreme Leader is amazing,' Iris thought, her fists clenched, her burning gaze fixed on Orion. As a divine apostle who could grow stronger by devouring spirit beasts, she felt a fierce drive to catch up, eager to join missions like this that would benefit Paradise.

"Can we see a demonstration of your power, Supreme Leader?" High King Kael asked.

Orion nodded and released his aura in the hall. A wave of overbearing divine pressure descended upon their souls, and they found themselves rooted to their seats, unable to move. Then, without letting the aura linger for more than a moment, he swiftly withdrew it.

Sweat poured down their foreheads as they all took deep breaths, exhaling heavily, their chests rising and falling rapidly.

Brane and Zara looked at Orion with complex expressions of awe and defeat, realising they wouldn't have had the chance to ascend to godhood even if they had been by his side. Orion's transformation was something he had achieved through his own accomplishments. Nonetheless, they were happy, as this gave them hope to ascend to godhood through a different path from the conventional one.

Zara placed her hand over Brane's under the table, sighing softly, hoping they would soon uncover their own path.

Only Ilse seemed unaffected by the display of power.

Orion then began to speak about the Vylkr energy-based techniques.

"As for the techniques, you will have to wait until Goddess Aurora awakens, and we revise them to ensure they don't cause any harm to our warriors. I will establish a facility and personally train those interested in learning how to manufacture the Condensed Vylkr Essence Nourishing Elixir so it can be swiftly distributed for everyone in Paradise to use," Orion said. The key leaders nodded in understanding, eager to test the elixir's effects. They were confident that mastering the Vylkr energy would soon be within their grasp. Although they had concerns about Zera, especially given the identities of the two goddesses within her, they trusted Orion to make the best decisions for all of them.

"Lastly, I will be giving this to each of you," Orion continued as the medallion draped over his shoulders became visible. With a wave of his hand, worn stone bracelets engraved with mysterious inscriptions and tied with vibrant starlight strings appeared before them.

They examined the mysterious bracelets curiously, but their attention soon returned to the glowing medallion Orion wore around his neck, and they waited for his explanation.

Only Ilse continued to gaze at Orion in disbelief, doubting the sight before her.

Orion presented the divine mandate as a powerful artefact that he had acquired, thanks to the aid of Divine Mysteries, as an investment in their future. The information about the divine mandate was too sensitive to share with them until they grew more powerful to protect the truth. "I am giving you these to help you manage Paradise," Orion said, explaining that one of the functions of his divine mandate was the ability to split itself into countless parts for his subordinates to use. Each fragment retained the full capabilities of the original, including tracking and categorising all resources within the force—from weapons, food, and armour to other necessities. It catalogued the skills and abilities of every member, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. It could also store the wisdom, techniques, tactics, will, personality, and plans of fallen members—their legacy if they wished—allowing their knowledge to guide future generations. Furthermore, it enabled warriors and other members to easily trade for what they needed, as long as they had permission and authority. Additionally, it tracked the culture and traditions of the various races within Paradise, making it easier for one race to integrate with another, thereby fostering unity and understanding. There was even a system that allowed for analysing individuals' behaviours within the force, providing predictive insights into their future actions, morale, and potential betrayal.

However, considering the crucial nature of the task, Orion planned to grant such permissions only to Commander Seth, Zogar, and Anara. He wanted to test the waters first. As long as it concerned managing his force and ensuring its safety and stability, the divine mandate could accomplish it by offering various systems he could implement to achieve the desired results.

In simpler terms, the divine mandate was a tool possessing its own intelligence, given its ability to create and handle so many systems at once. Orion had learnt from Aerialia that artefacts possessing their own intelligence were rare, so he wasn't surprised by this revelation. Orion was simply astonished by the management capabilities of his divine mandate. As Supreme Leader, he alone could grant or reduce the level of permission each individual deemed necessary. The best part was that he didn't have to expend energy to use it. The divine mandate was a gift directly from the Divine Mysteries. As long as they existed, it would continue to work effortlessly. He didn't have to worry about the growing population straining him.

This was fortunate, considering he couldn't utilise divine energy and that the divine mandate might be damaged if he attempted to use Vylkr energy through it.

The entire hall was silent when Orion finished explaining the functions of the divine mandate fragments.

"This…" Brane attempted to speak but was at a loss for words. "What is the name of this powerful artefact?" he composed himself and asked.

"It's called the Divine Medallion of Sovereign Accord," Orion responded. This was the name of the divine mandate the Will of the Divine Mysteries granted to him.

"All of our weapon catalogues and resources will be moved within it. Later, I will adapt the point system created for Paradise's representatives when they were sent to the Runaway Cities. Other rules will also be implemented to prevent abuse. This way, we can connect Paradise through trade and communication," he added. He didn't speak about much more, as they would naturally gain all the necessary information once they bonded with the fragment of Divine Medallion of Sovereign Accord. Orion then talked about the Divine Mysteries' assistance in restoring the pocket dimension to normal so they could stay within it. With this, they were certain that Paradise's growth would skyrocket, both in terms of development and economics.

"Does this mean we will no longer have to fear an invasion from other forces?" Zogar swiftly asked, his tone filled with excitement.

The key leaders present were also filled with anticipation and excitement as they listened to Orion's words.

"Yes. However, only those with unwavering loyalty to Paradise can reside within the pocket dimension. The others will continue to stay outside, serving as a false camp. This way, we can continue to mine the Vylkr ores while quickly detecting anyone infiltrating or attempting to stir trouble."

"We don't have to worry about anyone waging war unless they possess capabilities comparable to a divine being. Even then, they would sense something is amiss and choose not to act rashly until they discover what it is," Orion said.

Now that they could block anyone from casually monitoring them, and with many Vylkr spawns and Divine Corps members having died within their territory, their enemies were unlikely to act rashly unless they were foolish, hotheaded warlords. They would wait until they uncovered Paradise's true strength and intentions.

With him, Ilse, Aurora, Aerilaia, who would soon reform her body after she awakens, Zera, the two goddesses within her, the demigoddess water nymph and the residents of the pocket dimension's technological improvements protecting them, they were well-secured against anyone seeking trouble.

"Are there any more questions?" Orion asked.

The Key Leaders all shook their heads.

Orion nodded, deciding to display the power of the Divine Medallion of Sovereign Accord. He utilised it to send them to their residences. To their surprise, the Key Leaders observed as their bodies scattered into countless specks of light, one by one. They immediately understood what was happening and bowed towards Orion before vanishing into thin air. Only Ilse, Fifi, and Iris, who had yet to receive the mandate, remained in the meeting hall.

Ilse immediately approached Orion. "Is that a divine mandate?" she asked, her firm gaze fixed on him, trying to uncover any lies. She shielded their conversation from the others present.

Orion didn't plan to lie to her, so he nodded. "Yes, it is."

Ilse didn't ask why Orion hadn't mentioned the divine mandate earlier; she understood his reasoning. "Follow me," she said, enveloping him with her divine power. Without hesitation, they vanished from the room.
