Cristian's lips curved into a self-assured smirk as he stood, arms crossed, eagerly anticipating the emergence of the being before him.
This instance marked his first time undertaking such an endeavor. In the past, he had trodden safer paths, aligning with his previous life's choices. However, this time, he chose to replicate what he had done when he first acquired his powers.
Back then, it was about testing his abilities, but now, his goal was to forge a powerful ally, one who would endure the trials of time, etching his name alongside Cristian and, his companion and his harem in the annals of history.
He understood that the measure of greatness often rested in the caliber of those mentored by a leader.
A single formidable general might not empower an army, but a coalition of robust centurions rendered it an efficient, fearsome force, capable of grinding through battles, commanding respect even from the proudest adversaries.
Boom!
