Chapter 478: Discussion For Havoc
Hearing Kael’s words, Exalon’s eyes gleamed with the light of wickedness.
Just as he expected, Kael didn’t disappoint him, going straight to action.
"You’ll need to settle down first, the others will operate with more vigor now that they know you are here.
I expect more Lion Kings to eventually show up at this place after the news spreads.
Ma’abu might show himself, he’s very determined to kill you..."
" So am I," Kael stated, he stepped forward with authority, knowing that many eyes were on him.
"But I’ll take that offer to settle down first," Kael stated. Some plans were better made in the shadows, he needed to get away from the eyes of so many.
Their awareness of his presence in heaven was to serve a goal, a form of morale boosting and assurance that their Primordial was aligned with what they were doing.
Now that that had been achieved, Kael had many more objectives to attend to.
"The arkship..." Exalon said. When he mentioned this, some other elderly lion kings were making their way over and some of them had been close enough to hear Exalon.
"I killed some dragons and took their arkship," Kael said plainly. He didn’t see the need to overexplain.
Exalon nodded his head, but he felt that Kael was very dominating.
To the lion kings, Exalon included, Kael was making a statement. He had walked into heaven with a dragon arkship of all arkships, knowing fully well that there was bad blood between the lions and the dragons.
It was like Kael telling them that he hadn’t been idle either, he had been busy slaying dragons, even before he came to heaven.
All this happened under the looming threat of Ibadon.
It was a really bold and effective move, it created a scene that would be talked about for a long time in the various group chats of the lions.
That the first time the Primordial Lion ascended to heaven, he did so with an arkship belonging to the Dragon Empire, possibly wresting the vessel from the cold corpse of an Imperial Official.
As Kael and Exalon dived down from the sky to the pyramid, the dragon arkship behind them vibrated.
The low sounds of various hatches opening up attracted the attention of the various Lion Kings watching the arkship.
Thousands of hatches opened and the first few to come out were ten lionesses.
These lionesses immediately caught the attention of the masses as they rushed after Kael and Exalon.
Diane, Priya, Eidel, Ruda, N’bayé, Katari, Nalii, Zabita, Olivia, and Chloe.
N’bayé and Katari were the fastest, with Katari instantly arriving beside Kael and Exalon and silently following them from behind.
The slowest to descend was Chloe who took some time to look around. She was born in heaven and had lived here all her life before the expedition to Eridoria.
To be back here again and to see the familiar multicolored sky after six years was significant for her.
But she didn’t linger too much though. As her hazel eyes scanned the ring of lion kings around the massive black pyramid, her black wings flapped majestically and she flew after Kael.
While Kael’s consorts tailed Exalon and Kael, the arkship continued spewing more entities.
Right after the consorts left the hatches, thousands of magic shuttles droned out of the arkship.
Each hatch was big enough to fit a small mountain so it was enough for one or two shuttles to come out at once.
Each arkship had lions and lionesses of different tiers within them.
Those lions who could fly comfortably without the shuttles did so, tailing their companions near the exteriors of the vessels.
These were the lions and lionesses of Eridoria, the missing link.
They amounted to more than a million. Compared to the overall supposed population of all lions in the whole universe, this number was very insignificant.
But it was good. Many of the lion kings here could find Princes and Lords for their clans.
As for pride leaders of Eridoria, most of them would probably try to establish their own clan and those who couldn’t would look for clans to join as Lords.
Either way, Kael had delivered them to the promise land. Kael never saw himself as having any obligations to the lions of Eridoria, but if he did, it ended here.
Now, Kael would be focused on a much bigger stage with higher stakes and more terrifying players.

Inside Exalon’s black pyramid. Exalon had personally led Kael to one of the very luxurious rooms of the resting level.
This was a level reserved for every important visitor, neither the lion kings nor Exalon’s clan members came here to rest.
In this level, there were only six suites and Kael was to occupy one of them.
Kael, walked into the suite one paw at a time with a stern expression.
Behind him, Exalon followed, with Kael’s consorts behind them.
Although Exalon had his eyes on Kael’s back, his senses were also on the lionesses.
Exalon was curious to know those who had been accompanying the Primordial Lion during his time.
Out of all of them, his senses lingered on Diane because she was a War Lioness. He was naturally interested in those who shared the same powers with him.
But the one who piqued his curiosity the most was Katari.
Right from the moment this lioness showed herself, she had maintained the same measurement of distance between her and Kael.
The space between her and Kael didn’t grow wider or smaller, it was maintained perfectly.
Exalon also noticed that Katari’s facial expression had not changed one bit. Whereas the others looked around with curiosity while following after Kael, Katari’s eyes had remained on Kael all through.
He could see the vigilance in her eyes when he turned around to see her.
It was as if she would spring to action and decimate any threat that dared to show itself in front of Kael.
Exalon could not accurately tell what tier she was, there was a spatial distortion constantly around her that prevented even him from seeing the depths of her power.
He could see the others’ power level and could understand that N’bayé was the strongest, but he couldn’t read anything from Katari.
Katari naturally noticed Exalon’s observation but she didn’t care. She was hyper vigilant and had already thought of what to do in case Exalon suddenly attacked Kael.
She didn’t trust anyone and wasn’t going to show any mercy when it was time to strike.
Unfortunately or fortunately, Exalon had no intention of causing harm to Kael and he had made a lot of preparations to secure the whole place.
At least, Exalon’s pyramid would be safe...for now.
"Nice place," Kael said, his body shifting and changing as he resumed his humanoid form.
A black leather trench coat materialized over his body, amplifying the broadness of his shoulders and the darkness of his heart.
The consorts did so as well, changing into their humanoid forms and donning various attire.
Kael, Exalon, and Diane towered over everyone with Kael and Diane being seven feet tall and Exalon being taller than that.
Kael looked around the room he had walked into, the place was luxurious and he could see the scales of frost dragons decorating the walls.
The ground was timed but gave the feeling that it was carved from the bones of a certain behemoth.
Even some decorations seemed like they had come from the body of one creature or the other.
A Phoenix blood lamp was placed at the center of the sitting area and gave the whole place a warm orange glow.
Even the pillow seats at different corners were covered in clean white fur. Kael couldn’t tell which creature it was but he guessed they were fur from possibly wolves or bears.
All the pillow seats were white which meant the maker had specifically hunted down white furred creatures to make them.
Brutal and luxurious. This whole room was a symbol of the true lion culture.
Dominating, tyrannical, unafraid to enjoy the luxuries of the world if it meant the death of millions of innocents.
The true villains of the universe indeed.
After some time, Kael and his consorts settled in. This would be their temporary residence and they could leave at any time.
Knowing the amount of havoc he intended to bring to heaven, Kael doubted if this place would remain safe for long.
N’bayé and the others all found rooms to stay in or went out to hang around.
N’bayé personally went back to retrieve some important info orbs with a spatial storage device Exalon had gifted her.
Besides the spatial storage necklace that Exalon had given as a gift, many other gifts were sure to come from every corner soon.
And while some things were happening, Katari turned invisible and stayed close to Kael.
Meanwhile, Kael and Exalon sat comfortably in the sitting area of the luxurious suite and were discussing.
Exalon had proven to be very useful and Kael could only trust him for now with the plans he had.
"...And I want the whole of heaven under my control as soon as possible," Kael said, sitting cross-legged on his white-furred pillow seat.
"That’s bold, I like it. How soon?" Exalon asked.
Kael smiled, "As soon as we finish purging out the enemies. I need to know my allies and my obstacles. All those fence sitters, I need information on them.
I also want to meet the tier 7 lions and lionesses of our civilization, is that possible?" He asked.
Exalon nodded, "That can be arranged,"
