Thus far all the enemies Senani and company had seen were Tier 1. According to what Azriel had told Senani about this planet they went up to Tier 3. Senani was excited to get to the higher Tier creatures. First he needed to look through the spirts they had gained. He called for La toot toot and the two of them moved to the armory console. Once there, La toot toot was excited to see the number of spirits that they had claimed. Never in a million years had she imagined that they would be able to claim so many. They had hundreds of them. From the boars they received a few hundred burning spears. From the wolves a few hundred lightning swords. They even received an epic lightning sword from the alpha wolf. Then they had the gains from the armory console of the two groups they had killed. There were hundreds of various spirits. There were armors with resistance to each element, bows, swords, even a few arrows and bolts. All Tier 1, the highest grade was epic. La toot toot quickly pulled the arrows out. They would do well in her quiver. Senani took out the epic lightning sword as well as an epic fire sword.
Senani had an idea for the spirit weapons. He wondered if they could be combined with the swords he currently used. With that thought in mind he teleported to his palace to see the dwarven blacksmith. When he arrived, he tried to summon the lightning sword to show the blacksmith. To his surprise it could not be pulled out. Apparently, it only worked on a Sanctuary Planet. Senani contemplated this for awhile and went to the treasury. He then went back to the blacksmith and asked him to come with him to planet sanctuary. The blacksmith accepted and Senani teleported all the blacksmiths equipment along with himself and the blacksmith back to planet Sanctuary. Once there, Senani attempted to bind the epic lightning sword with a small diamond. It proved unsuccessful. Senani chose a ring sized diamond. This time it succeeded. He then bound the epic fire sword to a ruby of the same size. Senani pulled out his sword and went to the blacksmith. Senani spoke, "Master blacksmith, I have yet to know your name. I am Senani and I am grateful for the work you are doing for House Sloth. I have a favor to request. It may prove to be unsuccessful. If so, I will not blame you. I will appreciate the effort. I would like you to try to embed these two gems into the hilt of my sword. I want to see if the weapons that exist within them can be merged into my sword."
The blacksmith responded, "It has been so long since I have been called by name that I truly do not remember it. If you feel the need to call me something, then call me Master Smith. That is what my students have called me for centuries. I will do as you request. This will take some time. I will need to awaken the spirits within the gems. I do not want to know what manner of magic you had to use to trap them within these gems."
Senani then spoke to La toot toot. He asked if she wanted to show him the ranking system. It could be a fun thing to try.
La toot toot responded, "Your Tier 2 and I am Tier 1. I don't think we can go together. If you want, I can take some of your other Tier 1's. That would be ever so fun. A lot of the battles there are done in group battles. Id really be taken more seriously if I had some of your people with me. Can I take them with me Senani? You have so many Tier 1 and Tier 2's. Can I take 20 or so? I promise I will get some really good stuff for House Sloth if you let me. Even if you just let me take wolves and boars, I will do well. Can I Senani? It would surprise the spirits that made fun of me. No one has ever seen a beast with a soul stone. This will make House Sloth famous."
Senani replied, "You can take all of the lightning wolves and the fire boars. You may also take any 10 of my troops you wish. If you're going to go in to fight a group battle you deserve to have a proper army go in with you."
La toot toot was ecstatic. She moved over to the throne and tapped the soul stones of all the creatures she wished to take with her then touched the rank system console. One she did, she and all the beings she chose were instantly teleported into another world. Upon seeing La toot toot many sprits began to laugh. They did not expect any guild to allow her to join. She would make any city weaker. That was the common opinion of all the spirits that had previously met her. One had been extremely mean to La toot toot. She had called her useless and a waste of space. La toot toot wanted to challenge her first. That was why she wanted the army. If she made a bet with Veronica, she knew she would have to bet some strong soul stones. After flying through the area for a while, Veronica came to La toot toot.
She said, "I did not know they let trash in the ranking system these days. What do you intend to accomplish? Why not challenge me? I bet you my soul stone and all my spirits that you can't beat me. Heck, if you win, I will even be your slave for all of eternity. What do you have to bet against that?"
La toot toot responded, "I bet the entire army behind me. I do, I do, but the wager you place is not enough. You control a city and a guild. When I beat you, the guild will join House Sloth. And the city and all its inhabitants and treasures will belong to me. You made me suffer, I will surely show you that you were wrong. Just you wait. I will teach a lesson you won't forget."
Veronica replied, "The entire army behind you? Your master will be so angry when you lose. 50 fire boars, 30 lightning wolves, 10 various other creatures. None of which should have soul stones. That army is priceless. Far more valuable than my entire city and all my treasures. I can not wait to see the look on his face when I come to collect."
La toot toot replied, "Then take the bet you will, you will. I can not wait to make you eat the dust."
Veronica agreed to the duel. Once she agreed a fighting ring was instantly placed around them. La toot toot pulled out her bow. Veronica laughed hysterically. After all Veronica had just seen La toot toot a few days ago. She was a common grade. There was no way her arrows would even touch Veronica. Veronica was a Tier 1 artifact grade spirit. La toot toot knocked an arrow and drew back. Veronica chose to stand still. This arrow would not even be able to penetrate her armor after all. La toot toot released the arrow, and before Veronica could even blink the arrow went through her and her heart. Her body fell and she was regenerating at the throne in what was her city.
La toot toot smiled. Since this was done in the ranking system, La toot toot had a notification pop up as soon as the arrow went through. All the spirits in the armory of the other city had been transferred into her mind. Ownership of the city had as well. La toot toot mentally disbanded the guild that existed there and created a guild hall for House Sloth. She then continued to look for the spirits that had been bullying her. None of them had watched the battle between La toot toot and Veronica. She was able to claim 4 more cities before anyone realized that La toot toot had increased in ranking. She now ranked in the top 50. None of the cities were large, however, La toot toot had gained more beasts for the army and now had 6 total cities under her control. House Sloth had a foothold in this city. La toot toot had accomplished the goal she set for herself. She left the ranking system.
She then spoke to Senani. "Senani guess what, guess what? I did something for you. I did, I did. We have 6 cities now. I made a guild hall in each. You made a portal here; can you make a portal in them too? They are nothing compared to this one, but it means we control all the small cities in this area. Senani did I do good? I think I did, did I? Let me show you Senani, come make the portals. Let me show you our new cities. I got the spirits from the armories too. I will put them in ours so you can look through them. Senani we are gonna be the strongest guild on the planet. We will, we will."
Senani replied, "You were only gone for a short while. You managed to gain 5 cities in that short a time? That is remarkable. I have never even heard of such a thing. You took their spirits too? That is amazing. Did you think we could take the empty gems from the cities?" Senani then summoned Zorin. He would have her create the portals in each guild hall. Fortunately, this planet was in Senani's land grant. With them having a guild hall and members of the guild, Senani could teleport to them. After he explained what he wanted to Zorin, he La toot toot and Zorin teleported from one guild hall to the other. While Zorin made the portals, Senani and La toot toot visited the throne rooms. Senani made soul stones for all of the beasts and placed them in the thrones in each city. The influx of new soul stones made each city level up. While none were near the level of Eternia, they all reached rare status. This amazed and confused each of the beings in each town. Senani commanded all the creatures to travel to Eternia to meet their new leaders at noon on the following day.
After they completed their tasks at each city, Senani spoke to La toot toot and Ilromy, "Tomorrow you both will be introduced to the beings of all of the cities. I will introduce you as the Empress of House Sloth on planet Sanctuary. You can ride Bitey out on stage if you desire. There are even fire element boars in the dungeon if you wish to feed some to her. She will then be able to breathe fire. I will have Red and the whelps fly through the sky to show the power of House Sloth. The werewolves will guard the doors. The Knight Templars will surround the stairs to the palace. You will have an honor guard and will be shown to be the strongest being in this area."
La toot toot could not believe what she had just heard. She fully expected Senani to introduce himself and to be in the crowd. She did not think Senani would grant her such a title. Senani had a few fire boars brought out to Bitey per La toot toot's request. Bitey gladly chowed down and ate them all. As Overlord, Senani bestowed the title of Empress of Sanctuary on La toot toot. Her power grew even more significantly. He then bestowed the title of Empress of House Sloth on Ilromy. Her power also grew significantly. La toot toot then went to the armory console and placed all the new spirits they had gained into it. By then they all went to bed to await the big announcement the next day.
The following morning, Senani had a wonderful idea. Instead of just having the knights templar defend the palace, he summoned Maximus, Dmitri, and the entire house guard to surround the palace and the stage. The house guard members that were on the stage would take a knee in front of the stage. Maximus and Dmitri would stand on stage, one next to each Empress. Senani would also summon the entire House Sloth army and the leaders of each kingdom to stand in the crowd. Senani would show the might of House Sloth. He chose not to inform the girls of the change. They would realize once they came out on stage for the introductions.
Finally, the time came. Every creature from the cities had entered Eternia. They were dumbfounded by the number of beings that were in the crowd. The dragons overhead created a feeling of awe and respect for the might of House Sloth. Every creature was proud to be part of it. They then saw the House guard and Knight Templars file out of the palace and surround the stage. Each of the guards exhibited their full auras. The goal was to have every creature in complete awe of the might of House Sloth. They wanted the name to be spread far and wide. Once every guard was in place, the main doors to the palace opened. First came Senani, then Maximus and Ilromy followed by Dmitri and La toot toot. The jaws of every spirit in the crowd hit the ground. La toot toot was the last creature they expected to be up on the stage. Many in the crowd had bullied and degraded her. They all refused to allow her to join their guilds. Now she was standing on stage, part of the most powerful guild they had ever heard of.
Senani stood out front with Ilromy on one side and La toot toot on the other. Then he spoke, "Welcome to Eternia members of House Sloth. As many of you are new, I thought it would be a perfect time to bring the might of our armies together for an introduction. I am Overlord Senani. I am the Head of House Sloth. The Lovely lady on my right is Ilromy. She is now the Empress of House Sloth. Under me she is the de facto leader for all guild related concerns. The lovely lady on my left is Empress La toot toot. She is the de facto leader of the planet Sanctuary that we now stand on. Any issues on Sanctuary will go through her. If she can not handle it, it will be brought to Ilromy. The man beside Ilromy is General Maximus. He is the trainer and leader of all the armies in the courtyard. When times of war are called, or battle is joined, he is the man in charge. The man beside La toot toot, is Emperor Dmitri. He is the de facto leader of the planet Reisa. Just as La toot toot controls Sanctuary, he controls Reisa. If an issue can is not solved by him, he will bring it to Ilromy. If Ilromy is unable to solve the issue, it will be brought to me. For military matters, they will bring it to General Maximus. He and Ilromy are equals in terms of power. Now that the introductions have been completed if you belong to planet Reisa and you do not have a soul stone. Come see me today before returning to your kingdom. This goes for all members of House Sloth. If you are from planet Sanctuary and you do not have a spirit stone, come see me tomorrow. You will each be expected to stay until your soul stone is placed in the throne of one of the cities on Sanctuary. With that said, each of you have a wonderful day. You are all dismissed."
A line of troops from Reisa began to form leading up to the palace. Senani created a soul stone for each and placed it in his throne. When he completed this task, over 73,000 soul stones were placed in the throne. 5 minutes after they were all entered, the ground began to shake again. The city grew again. It became a Tier 2, Ultimate God City. The throne expanded and had a hierarchy scale to the right-hand side. It had writing and resembled what Senani had just stipulated. Senani moved around the soul stones to their rightful places. Dmitri as Emperor or Reisa, La toot toot as Empress of Sanctuary, Maximus and General of the armies, Ilromy as Empress of House Sloth, and Senani as Overlord. It also showed each city or kingdom under the planets. Senani placed the soul stone of the leader of each in their rightful places for planet Reisa. The ones for Sanctuary were already there as the cities had their own thrones. The throne surprisingly had a spot for the third planet Senani had seen as well. It apparently picked up everything in Senani's land grant. Once all the stones were placed, each of the leaders experienced a massive power surge. La toot toot and Ilromy entered cocoons. They were ready to evolve. As did the Lightning wolves and the fire boars.
