Rewards must come with achievements, punishments with faults. Conversely, there should be no reward without achievement, no punishment without fault. This is something that a top-tier manager must understand.
Whether it's indiscriminate rewarding or whimsical punishing, both can dissolve the cohesion of one's subordinates. Muria knew this, so every Giant Dragon that underwent his divine power refinement signed a contract (a debt acknowledgment).
Transforming his subordinates into dragons capable of wielding divine power was an emergency measure, but he still needed to ensure they were not devoid of the motivation to strive upwards.
And the Legendary Ancient Dragons that received his infusion of divine power, although their strength did not reach the level of deities, merely possessed deity-level divine power. Beyond that, everything else remained unchanged.
