Almond looked at Supreme Emperor Yezewan and flatly said, “Lily weakened the Hollow Defiler significantly, by 58% to be exact, and absorbed its power to empower herself and kill it.”
“So what’s wrong with taking the opportunity to deal damage to it when it was weakened?!” another Supreme Emperor who was fighting the second Hollow Defiler said.
“Is that so?” Almond narrowed his eyes. “Then there’s nothing wrong with me canceling your attacks to make sure this opportunity stays with us.”
“It was our effort that weakened it, and our kill! Your attacks would have killed the weakened Hollow Defiler, so I canceled them. Simple as that.”
Almond’s aura surged, his eyes radiating killing intent. “If you have a problem with that, we can settle it in a simple manner.”
The Supreme Emperors who were antagonizing Almond flinched while others were stupefied.
Settle it in a simple manner?
He just defeating a freaking Hollow Defiler alone! Erased it! And then his wife did the same with a bit of his help!
Settle what?!
Nobody at the frontlines wanted to mess with them.
“Alright, I understand the situation, and there’s no need to create a dispute over it,” Emperor Yezewan said.
Lily also arrived at this time, confused by the vibe in the area.
‘What happened, Almond? Looks like some problem.’
‘Nah, just some silly stuff. As he said, no need to create a dispute over it.’
“The tide’s coming. Let’s get into our position,” Almond said as he smiled. “I can’t wait to get rewards.”
The other Supreme Emperors internally rolled their eyes while the Gogejar and other Supreme Emperors could only show frustration and leave.
They contributed by keeping the Hollow Defiler occupied with them alongside Lily until Almond arrived and then Lily and Almond made their moves, so they would get whatever they deserved.
All of them saw the power of these abnormal Immortals, and they together created a terror in them.
After all, two Hollow Defilers were killed by these two! Despite finding it absurd, everyone had accept it and move on because it happened right in front of them.
As everyone returned to their areas to meditate and recover to clash against the incoming tide, the battlefield’s voice lowered, and peace descended.
The front liners were constantly at work, so they needed to rest and meditate.
Meanwhile, those at the back in the hundred channels were having fun with sparring and training, or doing other activities.
The latest news was also that the majority of Griminions in the incoming tide were Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, and that the tide was also smaller.
Of course, even though the tide was smaller, the Griminions in this tide were also more powerful.
Almond also knew that he wouldn’t get a chance like this again—to kill these many Griminion Emperors, devour them, and turn them into true spirits.
Moreover, he no longer had Spirit Pocket. Instead, he had Spirit Realm, which was half the size of planet Earth and was very beautifully constructed by him with mountains, rivers, forests, tundras, scorched lands, and various types of biomes for his Spirit Lords.
Both the normal spirits and true spirits would automatically fly toward the biomes they liked. There were already hundreds of thousands of spirits in this spirit realm.
In short, he no longer had to worry about storage.
Almond counted Griminion Emperor spirits, and they reached a whopping 483,992.
Over half of them were his kills and were True Spirits.
These spirits were raw resources for him. He could turn them into weapons and give them as rewards to other Regalons as rewards for their contribution, performance, and how much they improved.
He could use them to create more Spirit Lords, which he planned to do as he had eight Spirit Lords, and could still create two more.
…
While frontliners were resting, the news about the frontlines was also spread everywhere along with video of the fight against Hollow Defilers.
“Holy crap! Who was that guy?!”
“What the fuck just happened? Did he kill that monster instantly?”
“So even the Hyper Plane Motion Corder can’t record the full action…”
“These Hollow Defilers surpassed the ceiling of second layer in terms of power, which is why Grimworld made a move, so what the fuck is wrong with those two?”
“I heard those two are leaders of the House of Regalon.”
“House of Regalon, eh? They are absurd.”
“I guess we’ll see them soon live on Cosmic Arcadia Channels because there’s no way these two aren’t going to Arcadia Spectrum soon.”
Everyone was rattled as the powerhouses they had never heard of showed power beyond their comprehension.
As time passed, several minutes later, Almond suddenly got Alfred’s message.
‘Master, I have finished my training. I can join you in battle.’
‘Great. Come on out.’
Almond summoned Alfred.
“Oh, brother Alfred is here? Haha, it will be more of a fun fight now,” Galvaren laughed. “I’ll leave the coordination to you.”
Alfred nodded, “I shall skillfully use my Warchess Fabelum innate talent.”

Alfred had very powerful field-type skills that could inflict buffs and debuffs based on the unique field he applied in an area using Warchess Fabelum.
His ability tree’s powers supplemented this innate talent’s effect, making him a formidable opponent as long as Alfred was with someone.
In terms of overall ability power, Alfred was ranked 3rd among his Spirit Lords, but in terms of offense and defense,, he was ranked 7th.
But that also meant his support powers were top-notch. He wasn’t healing or defensive support like Sylvia, but in terms of movement controls, strategic actions, buffs on allies, and debuffs on enemies, Alfred was top.
“How’s it going regarding Intents?” Almond asked.
“I feel like I should be able to awaken one soon,” Alfred said with a nod.
“I am also trying,” Galvaren said. “But I can’t feel getting close to it or anything like that.”
Almond rubbed his chin as if thinking of something before nodding at them. “Keep it up. Intents are important assets, and everyone needs at least one to make their combat power a notch higher.”
Suddenly, a loud horn rang.
Almond, Lily, and Admiral Rudra also received messages in the soul network.
“The tide is here. Let’s go.”
“Alfred, you’re done training? Wonderful,” Admiral Rudra grinned. “I guess it’ll be the three of us.”
“And me too,” Sylvia created a humanoid physique made of exotic floral wood, a cheeky smile on her face. “There’s no need for this Warden Grove anymore, and we need as many kills as possible, right? I’ll join now.”
“I can buff Miss Sylvia’s Floralings as well and they can support us with sufficient heals and defense,” Alfred nodded.
“No, Sylvia. Keep up the Warden Grove,” Almond said as he shook his head. “This tide is going to be more dangerous, so it’s better you have this defensive area active.”
“Oh, alright then. I’ll keep it active and just send Floralings to Alfred.”
“Yeah, that’s better.”
…
Lily and Almond went to the very front of the frontlines alongside the Supreme Emperors this time.
Nobody could question them anymore. Nobody dared to. The news of their achievements was already spread by the monitoring headquarters to all people.
Yesterday, only a few forces knew about them, but now there was no one who didn’t know the name—House of Regalon.
