?

It would be too much work to design all of them similarly, which is why they were plain. Nonetheless, they could receive customisation according to their wishes if they achieved enough contribution points.

And strapped behind their backs was their Gear Devourer, which Seraphina and the others had designed to expand to its standard size when in use and shrink back to its dormant state when it was not.

"That's how the contribution point system will work. It will have its guild to track points, maintain a leaderboard, ensure transparency, conduct audits, and enforce penalties. That's all. Are there any questions?" Orion asked.

He had just finished explaining the contribution point system to ensure they wouldn't become complacent or act like they couldn't be replaced. He needed them to understand that all their actions within the Runaway Cities would be monitored and recorded.

They all nodded in understanding. As leaders in their clans and people, they immediately grasped the concept after Orion's detailed explanation of the contribution point system.

"Alright. Let's be on our way," Orion said, gesturing for the shape-shifting warrior beside him to transform into his beast form.

He needed to accompany them to ensure their status as representatives of Paradise would be respected and to deter anyone with ill intentions.

The warrior nodded and activated his gift. However, just as he was about to transform, Orion halted, standing rooted to the spot with wide eyes.

'She's awake,' Orion thought. He immediately gestured for the warrior to stop his transformation.

The prismerions, pixies, and warriors before them frowned, wondering what was happening. They all knew that only a few things could move the Village Chief in such a way.

Orion quickly recovered his composure and addressed the group. "Our departure will be postponed for now. I need to deal with something very important. Once I'm done, I'll summon you so we can begin the relocation," he said, his tone serious.

He then turned to the warrior beside him. "Inform the Sleeping Fox Runaway City and the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City that I've decided to postpone today's arrival to handle some urgent matters."

They all nodded in understanding. None of them had any reason to refute the Village Chief's words or inquire further, as they understood that if he postponed something this significant, it must be for an extremely important reason.

They all began to return with their luggage, one by one. They were slightly happy because they could use this opportunity to explain the contribution point system to their families.

Without hesitation, Orion scattered into countless streaks of fierce bluish lightning and vanished into the sky.

...

As he arrived at the edge of the floating island, Orion ordered the warriors to leave the area. The morphic puppet had informed him that goddess Ilse was awake, and he feared she might begin to stir up trouble again. If that happened, he doubted the warriors would be much help, so the fewer people around, the better.

Fortunately, he was relieved that goddess Ilse hadn't started attacking upon waking up. It proved that she still had some reasoning, at least.

As Orion walked into the room, he saw Greta standing behind the Morphic Puppet, her expression frightened. The moment she noticed his arrival, she immediately rushed toward him.

"Orion!" Greta exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him. She had been afraid to move after the goddess suddenly awoke, so she felt relieved upon seeing Orion's presence.

Orion held her to calm her down. He observed as she settled, then stood beside him. The only thing that had changed about Greta was the light blue Vylkr Fusion Bracelet on her wrist.

After the Vylkr Fusion Armlet entered production, he and Seraphina ensured that Greta received her own Vylkr Fusion Armlet due to her invaluable gift, transforming her into a one- star warrior.

Now, she no longer needed to exert herself in caring for injuries on two-star and three-star warriors or those of the same rank. He determined that as her energy grew and broke through the 101 BEM threshold, she would easily heal two-star warriors and below, requiring less effort to heal three-star and four-star warriors and above.

The rest of the family was getting ready to acquire their own Vylkr Fusion Armlets. Meanwhile, Crystalia, Merida, and the others would first need to undergo a Vylkr energy compatibility test to determine if they could also have one.

Though uncertain of what lay ahead, this was their sole path to becoming stronger, compelling Orion to seize this opportunity tightly.

As for Greta's presence, she was responsible for studying goddess Ilse's body. Despite their lack of understanding of its workings, Greta's role involved meticulously documenting everything she could discern about Ilse's new form.

Greta was exceptionally suited for the job with her gift and decades of experience studying various anatomies.

"She woke up while I was using my gift on her, staring at me curiously. So, out of fear, I stood up and ran behind Morphic Puppet. I would have fled, but I was worried she might pursue me and provoke a confrontation with Morphic Puppet. That's why I stayed put until you got the message and came," Greta recounted the entire situation to Orion, her heart still racing-not from fear alone, but from being in the presence of a goddess, a divine being said to have met Naka and held a position directly under him.

Orion nodded in understanding. "You can take your things and return to the factory so I can speak with her," he responded.

Contrary to his expectations, Greta shook her head. "I want to stay and watch. I don't think she'll do something dangerous like before. If she wanted to harm me and leave, she would have done so immediately upon waking up, not waited to look around curiously," she responded.

She recognised that curious gaze from many past encounters, especially with Orion, which stood out the most in her memory. The difference this time was that her eyes showed more curiosity than confusion, leading her to wonder if the goddess was merely curious about her current location or had forgotten a part of herself.
