Standing before Ares' IOU, Mike nodded slowly.
"Good stuff," he muttered, then set to work dismantling the wall.
Once the entire wall was separated and stored in his private space, Mike called the others inside. "Take up the floor tiles too, and don't leave the ceiling untouched!" Mike declared with confidence.
From his perspective, the angel race had spent all their savings on a sacrifice to summon dragons to try and eliminate him. They were at war, after all. And in war, raiding the enemy's treasury seemed perfectly reasonable, right?
Walking through the second treasury, Mike couldn't help but marvel, "Ares borrowed quite a lot back in the day!" This treasury was more than ten times larger than the one outside, yet it had been completely emptied...
Mike recalled hearing from a sage in the Core City of Truth that Ares had borrowed items from all over the Temple of Truth. It was a tough time for humanity back then.
