Dante himself flew into action leaving a lasso floating there. He drew a small bird cage out of his pendant and threw it through the air. Mid air it twirled and expanded countless times before trapping the twins within it.
Even the connection to the Lasso ended as it fell limply on the floor, absent of a majority of previous light. As for the hurricane that had previously surrounded the girls, it had flickered out as soon as the Ancients attacked.
As a final resort the girls tried to smash the large swords in their hands towards the metal bars surrounding them. But the swords couldn't even damage the lasso, let alone a spiritual weapon that could nullify the lasso.
And as expected the swords clashed against the metals without leaving a dent. The twins' faces immediately opened in panic, their actions started to become flurried but it was useless.
The four ancients in the room had already retrieved the cage with the two girls and brought it to Dante. Dante himself sat back on the throne as two ancients subdued one of the now powerless girls and brought her towards Dante.
Dante elegantly pushed his hands towards the twins head and pressed down on her forehead. His powerful spiritual force pierced into her body, but this was the strongest resistance Dante had faced.
Like an unending war Dantes energy pushed against the defending golden glow. The other twin sat in the cage, baffled by the scene in front of her. Two incredibly powerful auras even bypassing the Ancients clashed.
In her mind she couldn't help but pray for Hamilton to come save her. Unfortunately that wouldn't happen. Before Dante had even started he commanded Dean Maste to call Hamilton in for a meeting.
After a gruelling hour of work Dante finally pierced the girl's consciousness, officially making her into one of his puppets. The refreshing feeling brought on by the Aura of Heaven soon followed.
This time the volume was much higher than the others. All around Dantes Plane the subordinates knelt in thanks as they felt their strength increase. Many puppets at the peak of the fairy state were pushed up to the Spirit State and there were even 3 peak spirit states who were raised to the Ancient.
Surprisingly Dante noticed something that was happening in the Plane. The puppets clearly realised that Dante was absorbing the spiritual energy which would provide many benefits to them.
Dante realised that many of the families were creating puppets out of incredibly low level plants and wildlife. Many of the creatures don't even have much intelligence but they still made them into puppets.
But the surprising part is that even those weak plants that shouldn't pass the body tempering realm were slowly increasing in strength and fortitude. Surrounding large villas and family compounds many vines shot up covering the walls.
Huge ancient trees rose up making forests around each villa, even fruit tree beasts sprouted up. Below them tracked many wild beast puppets forming organised patrols and building small communities.
Even if the cultivation isn't high it can't stand against the incredibly high quantity. Unlike buying human slaves it is so much easier to buy plants with slight cultivation and spirituality. Not to mention beasts that wander around. It wouldn't be uncommon for a single kingdom to have billions of livestock inside. And they are cheap, all that livestock could be bought for a couple of heavenly notes.
Many of the beasts lacked the ability to cultivate themselves, but with the help of the Aura of Heaven many unlocked more and more intelligence and some even had rising talents. This initiative surprised Dante, the puppets quickly found out the uses of the Golden aura already.
Of course Dante wouldn't prevent this he had no reason to. This would create good protection for the families when Dante inevitably starts invading other people's planes. There's no guarantee that some Antiques won't invade him, so billions of body refining and bone refining creatures would be extremely useful.
And as there is more and more Aura of Heaven and Earth it is likely that these creatures would unlock their full intelligence and have the ability to cultivate themselves. And this was shown when Dante finally forced the second twin to become his puppet.
A similar scene happened as the trees grew many meters more and Dante could see a wisps of golden aura occasionally radiating off them. He was sure even if these creatures were placed on the normal continent they wouldn't be killed immediately.
The benefits of the Aura of Heaven on his puppets were far from just strength and talent after all. The puppets had more luck than an average person. This was already starting to show with some of the warriors sent out to the continent.
They might accidentally run into a leftover inheritance, or kill a creature that had hidden some incredibly rare pills in its lair. There was even a family that suddenly rose when they found a pool of spiritual water.
Spiritual water, as its name suggests, is water that has been bathed in spiritual energy for many years. The longer it was bathed in spiritual energy the more potent it was. It is able to increase the talent of a cultivator and increases speed of cultivation if drunk.
The pool that was found was pretty large, and the family that found it was part of the Rabbit Demi-human clan. Rather than using it to forcibly increase their combat power, they let their descendants increase their talent with it.
But it wasn't that valuable to Dante, it was only a hundred or two years old. So Dante didn't need to swipe it off of them.
Looking at the twins standing next to him Dante had a satisfied smile on his face. No matter how much they loved Hamilton they are now standing next to Dante obediently. Dante also took this chance to ask them about their special skills.
