It took over a month for the cocoons to break. When Ilromy and La toot toot came out, they aura they exhibited were significantly stronger than they had been. The two possessed amazing power in their bodies. Otherwise, there were no changes. The lightning wolves and the fire boars evolved into were beasts. The wolves continued to be under the command of Drizzt, the boars were under the command of wolf.
During the month, word of what had been seen at Eternia travelled far and wide. No one could believe a guild of such strength had came from nowhere. Nor could they believe that a city no one even knew existed had already achieved Ultimate God status. This was the first on the entire planet to achieve that grade. Beings were in and out of the city constantly. Everyone wanted to see what an Ultimate God city looked like. Fortunately, this also meant increased trade. Senani had the Armory console setup for access from one of the vendor terminals. Beings were buying and selling spirits left and right.
Dwarf Master had also managed to complete the sword. He brought it to Senani to try out. Senani picked up the sword. As soon as his hand touched the hilt, fire and lightning expanded up the blade. Senani could feel the power of the elements. Senani looked forward to seeing if it would function on planet Reisa. Senani teleported to the palace there to try it. Once he arrived, he immediately pulled out the sword. It again burst into life. Maximus saw Senani pull out the sword. He was amazed by the elements flowing from the blade. Senani handed Maximus the sword to try it out. When Maximus touched the hilt, it again burst into life. Lightning and fire all around. Maximus returned it to Senani and Senani put it in the scabbard. Senani told Maximus that he would enhance his sword as well once he received some higher-grade spirits. Maximus was dumbfounded. He did not expect to be considered for such a gift. Senani teleported back to Eternia before anything more could be said.
Shortly after Ilromy and La toot toot had come out of their cocoons, word was sent to the palace that guests would soon be arriving. The leader and high-ranking members of one of the Tier 3 guilds by the name of Skammlauss would be there at some point the next day. As House Sloth had few members that were Tier 3, this was a surprise for Senani. He was unsure of what they desired. Senani decided it would be best to have Azriel, Maximus, Dmitri, the house guard, and the Knights Templar available just in case of conflict. Senani also decided to utilize the 200% buff for being in his land grant for all of House Sloth. If it came to conflict. Senani intended to win.
The following day the visitors arrived at House Sloth. There were 20 Tier 3 spirits as well as 2,000 Tier 3 beasts of all shapes and sizes. The spirits ordered the beasts to surround the city. They clearly intended to intimidate Senani. Senani moved to the armory console and retrieved all the spirits loaded into it. He then moved to the chests full of empty soul stones and teleported them to his treasury in the palace in his primary portion of the land grant. Senani then teleported the throne to his palace as well. Senani was careful to keep it bound to Eternia. He did not wish for the city to change. He merely wanted to ensure that all the soul stones remained safe. He then gathered with Maximus, Azriel, and Dmitri with the Knights Templar and the house guard following to meet the new arrivals. Senani spoke first. "Welcome to Eternia, I am Senani Overlord of House Sloth. What brings you here?"
One of the guild members stepped forward. Senani could not tell if it were a male or a female. It was covered entirely in shadows. Senani could not even tell what species it belonged to. It spoke, "I am Void. Leader of Skammlauss. We have come to conquer Eternia. You are currently surrounded by 2,000 tier 3 beasts. We are 20 Tier 3 spirits, all ranking in the top 100 on the ranking system. We do however have a request for you. You have no chance. In return for creating soul stones for each of our beasts, we will allow you and all your guild to live. You will be slaves of Skammlauss."
Upon hearing this, Senani smirked. After all, when he created a soul stone for a creature and held it in his hand, it became bound to him. Senani replied, "Send your creatures in one by one. I only have the bag on my side of empty soul stones. It will take some time to create one for each creature. I will return to the palace, send them to me one by one. I will place the stones in the throne for you. Did you bring your soul stone to add to the throne and claim the city?"
Void was rather surprised that Senani was giving in so easily. He replied, "If you try to trick me, I will kill you. I do have my soul stone with me. I know I will need it to claim Eternia for my own. Eternia will be my capital. After I claim it, I will conquer the entire planet."
Senani returned to the throne room and brought back the throne and the chest of empty soul stones with a single thought. He ordered Maximus, Dmitri, Azriel, The Knights Templar, and the House Guard to return home. He would no longer need them. He then waited on the first beast to come in. Senani created the soul stone and put it in the throne. He did the same for each one of the 2,000 creatures. He had placed every stone into the throne binding each being to House Sloth. He ordered all the Tier 3 beings to surround the 20 sprits from Skammlauss. He then went to discuss things with Void. Upon Senani's arrival Void noticed that the beasts had moved in to surround them. While surprised he did not think much of it.
Void spoke, "Is it done? Are all of the spirit stones in the throne waiting for me to claim the town?"
Senani laughed and replied, "Every stone for the beasts is in the throne. They are now bound to House Sloth. If you move, they will kill each of you where you stand. You will now throw me your soul stones. Or do I need to prove the truth of my words?"
Void replied, "The throne binds creatures to a city not a guild or a master. They will not answer to you and they fear me too much to attack. Every beast fears the wrath of Void."
When void finished speaking all the beasts rushed in and attacked the 20 members of Skammlauss. They were slain within seconds. To Senani's surprise, Void was the only one that brought his soul stone. His body began to regenerate beside his corpse. While he regenerated, Senani teleported his and the other members bodies to the dungeon. He would examine them later. Senani the picked up the soul stone of void. With it in his possession, Void could cause no harm to Senani or any portion of House Sloth.
Void spoke, "You may have killed me, but the others will be back in Skammlauss. They will return with the entirety of our army. They will not allow me to stay a captive."
Senani smiled and held up his hands. When he did, the scenery around the entire city changed. Senani teleported the entire city to his primary land grant. He had kept it attached, so only a ghostly outline stayed on Sanctuary. As this city still partially resided on Sanctuary, all the spirits were accessible inside the walls of Eternia. Once one left the city, they would no longer be able to use them unless they were bound to a soul stone.
Void became very frightened. He had never seen such power.
Senani said, "Welcome to my home Void. You will now place all your spirits in the armory console of House Sloth. If you do, I promise I will not destroy your soul stone. I still have not decided what to do with you however. You did say you would make me your slave and you tried to steal my city from me. I shall have to think of a fitting punishment."
Void did as he was told. He had a vast number of spirits with him as he intended Eternia to be his home and the seat of his power. If one did not bring spirits, they could not create trade.
Senani now began to interrogate Void. He wanted to know how many beasts and spirits lived in Skammlauss. He also needed to know what the most powerful creatures were. Void told him everything. There were approximately 5,000 Tier 3 beasts left in the city. Aside from that there were also 100 Tier 3 spirits. Skammlauss did not bother with creatures that were less than Tier 3.
After much contemplation, Senani decided to create a second soul stone for Void. Senani would hold one, and he would send Void with the other back to Skammlauss. Void would place his stone back in the throne of Skammlauss and gain control of the city. Once this was accomplished. Senani would teleport to the city and take the soul stones of the spirits and bring them back to Eternia. Senani had been spending a great amount of time with the throne in Eternia, he wanted to test a theory, and the spirits from Skammlauss would be the perfect ones to test it on. Void agreed to do as Senani said. He believed he would be able to get free when he arrived in Skammlauss. He would then bring back his army and take Eternia by force.
Senani teleported the city back to Sanctuary. He had only moved it as a show of power. He then sent Void on his way with the 2,000 Tier 3 beasts. The trip took 3 days. The trip was peaceful. No beings dared to get close to the 2,000 creatures. When Void arrived, the spirits were rather surprised. When he showed them, he had his spirit stone, they were confused. Why would Senani let him go and return all the beasts with them. Void told them that Senani feared a war with Skammlauss. He said Senani released him and returned the beasts to avoid a war. The spirits believed him. The story made to much sense not to.
Void then went to the throne and placed his stone back in its usual place, claiming Skammlauss for his own. He then removed each of the 100 spirits stones for Senani. Void notified Senani. To his surprise, Senani instantly appeared in front of him and took the stones. Senani returned to House Sloth and went to the throne. The city of Skammlauss had appeared. Senani placed each of the 100 spirit stones under the icon for Skammlauss. He then teleported back to Void to look at the throne in Skammlauss. When he did, a ghostly image of the 100 spirits stones all appeared on the throne. He could place all the stones into the throne at Eternia and they would appear in the city in which he placed them. This was wonderful news. It meant that unless Eternia was captured, all the beings under his command would be able to respawn in Eternia at any time. Even if the other cities were captured, no one could actual take any of the beings as the soul stones were not there.
Senani told La toot toot to move the Tier 3 beasts under Skammlauss. He explained to her how the system worked and had her get each of the other cities to bring their soul stones to Eternia to be placed under their city. Senani ordered Void to create a House Sloth guild hall here and then he created soul stones for each of the 5,000 beasts and returned to Eternia. All 5,000 stones were placed under Skammlauss.
