In Blackmoon Castle's conference room at the highest level of Mount Creation.
After Watson defeated King Landhar III, he used the fusion system to rebuild Mount Creation into something even more majestic than before. At that moment, in the conference room, Watson gathered the ministers of the former Holy Dragon Kingdom, the higher-ups of the Elven Kingdom and the Winter Nation, and his family and friends. He was prepared to distribute the rewards there.
"Mount Creation has become the capital, and Blackmoon Castle is where the Holy Dragon Kingdom's future royal palace will be located. Should the Saint Laurent family move here?"
The Saint Laurent's family head looked around at the splendid furnishings in the room and asked with slight emotion.
Ten Saint Laurent family members stood behind her. Nia was with them, and she stood behind a middle-aged man, who asked, "Nia, were you injured in the battle? Are you tired? Why aren't you saying anything? Do you want to sit down?"
The middle-aged man was Nia's father, Gabrielle. He was also Watson's father's biological brother.
"Father, it's a meeting. Only the leaders from prominent families and those who can make decisions can sit down. I'm just part of the Saint Laurent family. I don't have the right to sit down. I am also Young Master Watson's attendant, so I don't have the right to sit down."
"Who said that you don't have the right? You're my daughter. The dignified princess of the Saint Laurent family does have the right to sit here. The Saint Laurent family has blood relations with Watson. Furthermore, Watson defeated King Landhar III because of the Saint Laurent family's contribution."
Gabriel snorted coldly. On the surface, he was speaking to Nia, but in fact, his gaze had already drifted in the direction of Watson.
Watson sat at the head of the long conference table. On his left and right were his parents and brothers. His siblings frowned when they heard Gabriel's words, but Edward did not seem to hear them. He carefully poked baby Jeanne in Catherine's arms with his finger, making Jeanne's pouty little mouth appear very unhappy.
Gabriel's words represented the feelings of most of the Saint Laurent family members. When their family head wanted to help Watson oppose King Landhar III, they had been unwilling. However, they were glad that they had listened to their family head's orders at that time. Otherwise, they would be like the Ptolemy and Campbell family members, standing outside the conference table without a place to sit.
Watson's father was originally a member of the Saint Laurent family. In addition, they had helped Watson. As long as Watson acknowledged their family status, the Saint Laurent family would become part of the new royal family. Just thinking about it made them excited.
Some people had such thoughts. They had chosen to help Watson not only because they could not withstand the oppression of King Landhar but also because they wanted to gain benefits from Watson.
Watson sat at the head of the table and saw the expressions of those people. His fingers lightly tapped on the table.
The sound was not loud, but it made everyone hold their breaths and cast their gazes on him.
"I feel like everyone can't wait any longer, so I won't be too long-winded. Let's start with the people who contributed to the battle. Blackmoon Knights' Captain Allen, please step forward."
"I am here."
Allen stood up and came in front of Watson. He respectfully knelt on one knee, and his usual cynical look disappeared from his face as he suppressed his excitement.
"In the battle against King Landhar III, you led the Blackmoon Knights to a fight to the death and did not retreat. You have done meritorious service in protecting the people of Mount Creation. I will confer the title of General of the Kingdom of Kings and continue to command the Blackmoon Knights. Are you willing to do so?"
"I am ashamed to take this reward. Because of my poor command, many Mount Creation residents were killed in the battle. I deserve punishment instead."
After King Landhar III fused with the Primordial Demoness's power and transformed into a powerful monster, many Blackmoon Knights were crushed by his mighty strength. Many of Mount Creation's residents had also suffered. Those people were all resurrected by Watson after the battle ended. Even though no one died, Allen still felt guilty about it.
No one died because Watson was powerful. Allen was not capable enough to protect the residents. When Watson created the Blackmoon Knights, he said that the Blackmoon Knights were Mount Creation's line of defense. They must not let the enemy get past them.
"What you said is not unreasonable. In that case, what punishment do you want?"
The corner of Watson's mouth rose. He had an expression that was not a smile.
"I think the reason I can't lead the Blackmoon Knights to protect everyone is that I am too weak now. If I can improve my tier and advance to the starlight tier, I will definitely do better than before. Young Master, just punish me and let me advance to the starlight tier! Of course, if Young Master Watson feels that the punishment is too severe, you can reward me with a few starlight-tier weapons as compensation."ƒ𝘳𝑒𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝑛ov𝘦l - 🅽🅽novel
He wanted a starlight-tier weapon? He wanted to advance to the starlight tier?
Everyone shook their heads after hearing Allen's words. They had a feeling that Allen was dreaming. The starlight tier was the godly tier. Many people would never be able to reach it in their entire lives. That was not a punishment; that was a huge reward. They thought Watson would be angry when he heard that. What surprised them was that Watson nodded.
"That punishment is very suitable for you. I'll let you get to the starlight tier temporarily! If you make such a mistake again in the future, you'll lose your position as a general."
As he spoke, Watson reached out with his hand toward Allen. The fused human moon chess piece appeared on his chest. A ray of white and green light poured into Allen's body from the chess piece. Allen closed his eyes and revealed a look of enjoyment. The aura emitted from his body increased dozens of times, and soon, he broke through from the diamond tier to the starlight tier.
A blue kingdom surrounded by the blue sea descended into the meeting room. What appeared in the meeting room was just a corner of the kingdom. Its main body floated in the meeting room in an illusory form. The rolling blue sea gave people the feeling of being in a stormy sea. Many people in the meeting room covered their mouths and noses, unable to breathe. Some of those who were not strong enough even began to tremble. They felt an instinctive suppression from a higher life form from Allen's body.
As his aura became stronger, Allen's appearance also changed. His eyes became azure blue, emitting divine light. Streams of blue divine power formed mysterious runes on his skin, making him look like a sea god.
Allen had become a starlight-tier elite with just a tiny amount of energy. That came from Watson's ability after fusing the race chess pieces—supernatural acceleration.
The molecular acceleration was a skill to transfer energy to other people's bodies, while supernatural evolution had the effect of allowing creatures to evolve. The combined effect allowed Watson to inject unlimited energy into other people's bodies. Without the help of the fusion system, Watson could only inject energy comparable to starlight-tier magical sources into other people's bodies. He had just created a starlight-tier water-elemental magical source in Allen's body.
At that moment, everyone was shocked after seeing Allen's transformation. Did Watson really fulfill Allen's request?
Allen heaved a sigh of relief after feeling the surging water-elemental fluctuations in his body. The power contained in his body was equivalent to the power of a planet made of water elements. That was undoubtedly the embodiment of the divine realm, and he felt different from before. He immediately knelt and bowed respectfully to Watson."Thank you for showing me mercy, Young Master Watson."
Watson waved his hand and looked around."I've already punished Allen. Who's next?"
"Me! It's my turn!"
"Let me go first!"
"I'll have to trouble Young Master Watson to punish me as well."
As soon as he said that, the meeting room was filled with people. Many people rushed to raise their hands.. They would rather get a more severe punishment if that were one.
