Chapter 522: Dwarf vs small yellow cat
The golden giant wasted no time and immediately issued a series of precise commands. Thousands of Xaos soldiers marched into the city with synchronized steps, their movements disciplined yet no longer oppressive.
To reassure the people, they removed their helmets, revealing friendly smiles and approachable demeanors. The message was clear: the people of the Strong Hammer Kingdom were now part of the Xaos Civilization, and the soldiers were honor-bound to protect.
No one obstructed their advance. Soon, the soldiers reached the city’s central square, where they began unloading a series of containers from their space rings. These containers were filled with cubes of monster meat—powerful energy-rich sustenance—and others contained red pills designed to heal the sick and elderly, curing ailments and restoring vitality.
The citizens of the Strong Hammer Kingdom were initially hesitant and nervous about this sudden change in their lives. But Torin’s reassurances had instilled trust, and at his signal, the civilians emerged from their shelters.
Slowly, they began accepting the food and medicine being distributed. Awe and disbelief spread across the faces of the people as they tasted the cubes of meat—the finest, most nourishing food they had ever eaten—and watched the red pills work miraculous changes in the weak and infirm.

Hours passed, and the atmosphere in the city shifted dramatically. A jubilant mood began to permeate the streets. Children wandered wide-eyed, staring in awe at the towering Xaos soldiers while eagerly devouring cubes of monster meat. Hundreds of Xaos medics moved through the crowds, using healing alchemy to treat the wounded and ill.
In the heart of the city, a massive structure was being erected—a communications tower forged with precision by Xaos engineers. Once operational, this tower would allow Overlord to monitor and guide every single person within the city, ensuring order and efficiency.
Torin observed these changes from a distance. A wide smile spread across his face as he saw everything proceeding smoothly. The sight of his people smiling and well-fed reaffirmed his belief that he had made the right decision. But his introspection was suddenly interrupted.
