Souta rolled the 6 random cards that he got from the bonus rewards. He focused his attention on the six cards that appeared in his vision.

*Ding!*

Drawing completed!

You've got 2 Level-up cards, 1 Blank skill card, 1 One million exp card, and 2 Skill level-up cards!

It's not that bad. At least he got himself some good cards except for the exp card. A million exp could only raise his exp bar by a little amount. It's not enough for his current level.

He had three Level-up cards and this was enough for him. He also got himself two Skill level-up cards which were enough for him to level up his Night Overlord's Aura to level 10. Then, the Blank skill card. He would use it if he met a powerful person that has a lot of high-grade skills. Just like what he did when the Underground King appeared in the Ladros City.

The skill that he got from the Underground Skill was Monster's Force and Burrow. He didn't like Burrow but what could he do about it? He could only accept it as him being unlucky in drawing abilities from that monster lord.

He just hoped that he could get some powerful skills for himself. This time his leveling speed will increase. The fact that his strength was enough to complete a high-level quest will make a huge difference in his growth rate.

"It's time...

"

Souta chuckled as he stood up and called everyone. After a few minutes, Alice, Lydia, Jamine, Isabella, Torkez, Franklin, and the dragon were in front of him. He didn't include the leaders of the various organizations that supported them. Those guys were nothing that just hid in the dark and they didn't even personally appear in the war.

If he wanted he could just annihilate those people to decrease the power struggle of the new nation.

He had to explain his plan to them.

"Why are you calling us after the meeting ends?

" Jamine asked with a curious expression. Everyone nodded at her question and they were curious too.

"I'm going to tell you that I don't have a plan on staying here for too long,

" Souta said as he looked at their expression.

Just like what he expected, they were confused at his words. The only one who was calm was Alice and Isabella. They knew that they would go to the Great World Imperium. That's Souta's plan from the beginning and nothing changed about it.

"Do you mean...?

" Lydia recalled what Souta said to her before. Souta told her that he came from the Great World Imperium with Alice and Yuko.

"Lydia, do you know something about it?

" Jamine asked as she turned to her friend.

Torkez and Franklin also looked at her waiting for her to explain what's happening.

"Um... How should I start...

"

Lydia then explained to the rest about the Great World Imperium. She also said that Souta, Yuko, and Alice came from that world where god lives. That world was dozen times stronger than any of the worlds that they knew of.

"Yes, Lydia is right. The Great World Imperium is my homeworld.

" Souta nodded.

This information shocked everyone in the room. This was too much for them to handle. Everyone thought that the Great Astley Empire was already strong but from Lydia's words, it seems that doesn't mean anything.

It's hard to believe it but this was Souta. Souta wouldn't lie without any reason to them. He couldn't get anything from lying at them.

"So I will be leaving this place soon with Alice, Yuko, and Isabella. Of course, I would bring Yenxa with me.

" Souta said to them.

Jamine, Lydia, and Torkez didn't know what to say. They worked very hard just to destroy the empire and Souta would leave them after he accomplished his goals.

Franklin looked at them and he slowly opened his mouth,

"Do you still have a slot? Great World Imperium seems interesting. I'll follow you if you don't have a problem with it.

"

Since the empire was gone, he found this place boring. Nothing piqued his interest and he thought that he would spend his life on these boring planets. Then, he heard the state of the Imperium. Living gods? Demons? Deities? And divine beasts were all real. All of these could be found in that world and according to them, Souta's power level wasn't at the peak. He was only a mid-tier combatant in that world and yet, Souta could already dominate several planets with his strength alone.

Then, how many strong creatures could be found in that place? It was countless.

Just by thinking about it, Franklin couldn't help but tremble in excitement. Finally, he would be able to escape this boring life.

Souta glanced at Franklin and pondered if he should bring this insane person with him. But he couldn't deny that Franklin was a powerful person. He was a legitimate A-rank that already liquefied his mana.

Speaking of liquefying one's mana. He asked Saya if he could liquefy his best feram but she said that it was close to impossible. It was one of the two densest energy in the whole universe.

'Did you hear what the god of hunt said? The normal form of mana is a gaseous state. If you condense it you would have a liquefied mana in your mana pool. Then, if you condense it further you will get the solid-state. But then, according to him the next stage of the solid state are the spirit energy or best feram. So if you condense mana to the limit you would only get the best feram and spirit energy.'

That's what Saya said to him. Maybe, this was the reason why when the moment that a monster gained the best feram, they would become an unstoppable force below S-rank.

Just like him, an A-rank couldn't hope to kill him. The gap between second evolution and third evolution was huge.

"If you're going to leave then I'm coming too. You're the one who freed me and accomplished my dream of taking down the empire. That is if you're fine with me coming with you.

" Torkez said.

"Me too... I thought all along that dragons are the strongest creature. I didn't even think that there are stronger than us. It's true that the empire is strong but they couldn't bring out someone who could fight us equally.

" The dragon said using the monster language. His thoughts were transmitted to the people in this room.

Souta looked at them and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Suit yourself. I'm going to warn you that the Great World Imperium is very different from the rest of the planets out there. It's very dangerous and my power level isn't that high there.

"

"That's even better.

" Franklin grinned widely.

"W-Wait!!

" Jamine said hurriedly as she looked at them and said,

"If you're all going to follow Souta then who's going to manage the new country.

"

"That's why I called all of you here,

" Souta said as he glanced at Jamine.

"You're just an ordinary person and you will be a burden if you follow me so I'm going to leave the new country in your hands. Don't worry I will not leave without making a proper arrangement. This planet will be under my protection after all.

"

"Can you explain everything?

"

Jamine wasn't flustered when Souta saw that she will become a burden if she followed him. She knew that she was just an ordinary person and being a princess has nothing to do with that. In their eyes, the status of a princess was nothing. Just like what happened to the royal family of the Great Astley Empire, they couldn't even do a thing in front of Souta.

Among the people that were present in this room, she's the only one that didn't have high combat ability. Even Isabella could easily defeat her in just one hand. A peak C-rank could easily become a captain of a whole squad in the empire's army.

Souta slowly explained what he planned to do in the new country that he will establish, the Astros. The plan was to let Jamine managed the nation as his representative. He will only take one guardian fortress and the rest will be passed to her so that she will have a power in her hands.

Each Guardian Fortress was armed with more than two hundred Mana Convergent Bomb. It was fearsome in sub-worlds but in Imperium, this type of bomb wouldn't work at all. Even Souta who was a third evolution monster could block it with a level 10 Gravitational Spell.

It will only become a weapon for low-tier combatants. He will also give the weapons that they took from the empire's factory to her.

He also advised her to train her power level as he will leave ten parasitic essence eater eggs in her hands. She will take one for herself and gave the rest to the people that she could trust.

Souta didn't have to worry about betrayal. He had the parasite queen in his body and he could use it to control the other parasites.

In short, he was going to leave everything that wasn't useful for him but useful in sub-worlds to Jamine.
