.5 years later as Max emerged from his isolation, he had finally become the ultimate warrior.

new moves mastered and having reached the pinnacle of tier8, his journey of improvement was finally complete as the only steps remaining now between his ascension and challenging the perfect warrior were forming a dual core, choosing his soulmancers and handing over the reigns of the Rajput family to one of the kids.

Over the last 7.5 years, the singular task that Max performed was to endlessly hone his battle instincts day-in and day-out as he slaughtered endless hordes of monsters.

Not only did he learn more about the utilisation of the power of the seeds, but he also managed to evolve his fighting style to a point where he felt satisfied with his preparation and growth.

The intensity of his training was such that upon reentering the world, Max found himself yearning for a brief respite with his family—a desire that stood in stark contrast to his initial, all-consuming commitment to training.

" It feels good to be back…. " Max said letting out a deep sigh as he stepped out of the levelling pagoda and into the universal warehouse, where he was greeted by the Universal Queen's avatar "Greetings, Supreme Lord, we have awaited your return," she said as Max nodded at her in acknowledgement.

Max, curious about the world he had left behind, promptly requested an update on recent events. "How have things been?" he inquired, eager to hear the queen's report.

Last time when he came out, he was surprised to see a new baby, and to avoid such shocks he decided to get a status update before walking out this time around.

The queen provided him with a detailed report of how things were in the universe, starting from the vampire society where Max had become an individual who was akin to a deity.While the effects of his economic reforms and progressive thinking were not evident at first, now many years later, the average vampire was much wealthier and everyone praised his foresight.

Being a part of the quadra-alliance, trade was booming and security was better than ever as the past decade had arguably been the most peaceful one that the vampires had ever experienced.

With absolutely no external or internal threats, life thrived and the common people thanked their monarch for it.

The family heads that were displaced saw more competent leaders take over their post and even such clans now felt indebted to Max virtually wiping any opposition to his rule to near0 as the Aurelius clan was the last standing opposer.

Through sheer hard work, Felix Aurelius had managed to raise his clans ranking to 7 from the ruins that it was in and was ambitiously looking to bring it even higher in the coming years.

With Max being absent from the political scene, the internal politics were more stable than ever as the council of lord's kept each other in balance and prevented anyone from disrupting trade and peace by the slightest.

Many preferred this absence of the king as without him they had a chance to put forward their views and exercise their democracy while with Max around they had no choice but to heed his command.

The primordial vampires also now had representation at the council of lord's as Asiva granted them the official status of a clan, however, while the ruling Bloodfall clan did not discriminate, the others were still not welcoming of primordial vampires and the social stigma remained strong.lightsmagic

In-turn the primordial vampires ended up feeling indebted to the ruling clan and promised to support them through thick and thin as Max not only spared them, improved their lives but was now also supporting them to become productive citizens of vampire society.

Of all the clans, it could be argued that pro-king sentiments were strongest amongst the primordial vampires as for them Max was god.

Apart from it, the council of monarchs was stable as well.

Judas's birth thawed the animosity that Micheal held towards Hazriel and Max as the child brought Micheal, Sariel and Raphael closer to the Rajput Capital.

Secretly, Micheal hoped to raise Judas into the next Supreme Lord and once again placing the angels as the supreme race, however, hiding that ambition deep within, on the surface he acted as if he had forgiven and forgotten all past discretions.

As a result, Hazriel was happier than ever having regained a loving family which was united in the face of adversity.

With Micheal once again falling in line at the council of monarchs, the other meetings were mostly constructive as the rest of the council was in support of Max anyways as things seemed to be stable once more.

Under the current environment, it would not be too difficult for Max to hand over the reigns of the Rajput family to Jake and the Vampire throne to Kremeth as he did not expect much opposition considering the stable political environment.

Overall it was good news all around as the time truly seemed ripe for him to emerge from his isolation.

( Meanwhile Mira )

Mira knew that Max would be coming out of his long drawn isolation today and she had already gathered the family for his reception.

Because of the soul-bond that she shared with Max, she could see the level that Max was currently at and once he reached the pinnacle of tier8, Mira knew it was time for him to emerge out of his isolation as she gathered the family to give him a surprise.

Of all four wives, Mira probably loved Max the most as her affection for him was boundless and insatiable.

As Max walked out of the universal warehouse, she was the first one to rush up to him and give him a bear hug, as Max caught her in his arms and hugged her back tightly in a feel good emotional moment.

The rest of the family watched on in smiles as Max and Mira shared a passionate kiss as they knew just how much she missed him these past few years.
