Max was different from others that Micheal had ever faced.

In response to Micheal telling him that he did not respect Max, he replied by saying that it did not matter as he did not respect Micheal either.

Max showed absolutely no mercy to Micheal as he further reinforced his point by saying that Micheal will have to obey him even if he did not respect him as although it's was just fear, Micheal had to obey Max because if he did not then the queen would kill him for sure.

" D-do you have no shame? How can you say such words as a warrior?" Micheal asked as he could not fathom how Max could have no pride in his skills as a warrior but Max remained unfazed.

" Queen, I think the angel monarch has gone deaf, please pluck out all his chicken feathers out of his wings one by one and let me enjoy his hurtful screams" Max ordered as instead of bantering with Micheal, Max pushed down on him with his authority as the queen jumped into action after getting her instructions.

Micheal naturally tried to resist, however, his pride as a warrior would not let him call for help, nor scream and be portrayed as a powerless victim, and hence when the queen overpowered him and began plucking his feathers, all that Micheal could do was stare into Max's eyes in defiance and ensure that he did not scream in pain for Max's enjoyment.

" TYRANT! LET GO OF MY BROTHER-" Sariel said as he launched an attack upon Max, but the queen blocked it effortlessly.

" Show him the same fate" Max said, as Sariel also joined Micheal in the feather plucking session with Raphael joining soon after.

It was a complete clown show that displayed the absolute strength of the queen and the cruel nature of Max's personality as the supreme lord.

Not a single monarch stepped in to help the angels as this went on, nor did anyone oppose Max as they feared what Max would pluck from their bodies which did not even have feathers if they defied him.

It was only a full five minutes later, when the silent pain caught up to the angels and they began watering from their eyes that Hazriel intervened and begged for Max's mercy.

" Please supreme lord Max, forgive my brother's, I beg you-" Hazriel eventually said as she fell on her knees and began begging Max for forgiveness as it was only at this moment that Max's eyes softened.

Max owed a lot to Hazriel and while he did not care about the three angel brothers, he did care about Hazriel and stuff that hurt her feelings.

" Very well" Max said as he ordered the queen to stop hurting the angels and letting them go as once the torture session was over, the angels were missing 10% of their total HP and a heck lot of their wings.

" Do you see this Hazriel? Do you really want to marry this tyrant who hides behind his servant to bully honourable warriors!You asked me as to why I don't bless your union, today you get to see the answer as to why I don't" Micheal said, as the second he was released from the queen's clutches he began enacting the plan given to him by his master Odin to bait Max into a fight.

" Don't do this brother, I don't think you are in your senses to see it clearly, but I can...he's stronger than you" Hazriel warned as Micheal chuckled at her warning and spat to the side.

" This coward is stronger than me? What a joke" Micheal said as Max could not help but pinch the top of his nose in disappointment

He wondered if Micheal was secretly a masochist and was behaving in such a brain-dead fashion just to be punished even more?

" I will never approve of your wedding with this man Hazriel, I will never let him marry into our family.

If he wants to win my approval after this humiliation today, he needs to challenge all three of us brothers to a duel and beat us down without relying on the queen.

Only if he does so, will I acknowledge his position as the supreme lord and him to be worthy of your hand in marriage" Micheal said as although Max did not ask for his approval, Micheal laid out his play for Max making every other monarch in the room shake their head from side to side.

It was only today that everyone realised how terribly weak the angels were at setting someone up and scheming against them as looking at Micheal they realised that a toddler could probably scheme better than he did.

What was this straightforward way of telling their opponents about their play?

Who in their right minds would fall for something so stupid?

Max, who also saw through these schemes thought the same things, however, as he glanced into Hazriel's eyes he could see that they were desperate for gaining the approval of her brother, as Max realised that judging by Michael's words, Hazriel had been pressuring her brothers to let her marry Max.

Recently, Max had realised that he did not show much dedication to his women and that he needed to improve in this aspect.

Mira, Anna, Asiva loved him to the death and Max could not reciprocate even a fraction of their feelings.

Technically, he had no need to accept Michael's challenge and beat down the three angel brothers, however, if doing that helped Hazriel be happy, then Max wondered if it was worth a shot?

" Do you love me?" Max directly asked Hazriel as the suddenness of this question caught her off-guard making her face flush red.

" That-, I, Yes" Hazriel said, as in the most awkward way and in the most non-romantic setting she confessed how she truly felt about Max, giving the new supreme lord something funny to rejoice about.

" He's not worthy of you!" Micheal shouted from the background, as at this point Max really felt itching to give Micheal a good beating.

" Very well, if you love me, then I'll prove myself against your brothers and take you with me tonight" Max said with a charming smile on his face as Hazriel's blush only deepened.

" Fat chance of that happening! We refuse to fight you unless you put the ownership of the universal queen up as collateral!" Micheal demanded as Max began to laugh at his foolish demands.

" Hey, Micheal…." Max said very calmly as he slowly got up from his chair and started to unflur his aura.

" I'm only doing this for Hazriel, but let me teach you something here.

Firstly, you can choose not to fight me, I don't give a fuck, I'll just kill you-

Secondly, No you spoiled brat the universe doesn't dance at your fingertips it dances on mine.

If I throw you three into prison and have Hazriel to myself, there is not a darn entity in this universe that can oppose me.

Finally and most importantly, DON'T EVER PROVOKE A RAJPUT, I could kill you three without blinking an eye if I was tier7, but now…." Max said as he did not complete his sentence but rather just smiled the most bone chilling smile as his suppressive aura reached maximum effect.

" Aura of the monarch! Max has already reached tier8!!!" Dragon queen Rhea exclaimed as the entire council was stunned to silence.

It was common knowledge that it had not even been a full two decades since Max Rajput had ascended to tier7, yet through some ridiculous pacing he became tier8 in under 15 years?

Such a pace of progression was unheard of!

Going from tier7 to tier8 even for the MOST talented geniuses took at least 300-400 years, yet Max did it 20 times faster as if it were nothing.

" Has the Rajput clan figured out a secret way to increase one's tier fast? How can both Rudra and Max be such monsters if not?" Wondered beast King Omar as everyone tried to rack their brains over how Max became a monarch in such a short time span. action

However, while they discussed this, Max took this opportunity to unleash hell on the three angel brothers as he blasted them through the council walls and into the open stage of the Rajput capital, as he engaged with them in a bare fist-fight.

" Max Rajput! I shall kill you in your own capital today" Micheal declared as Max chuckled at his foolishness.

He did not wish to show the universe what he was truly capable of, however, Micheal had managed to annoy him to such a degree today that his restraints naturally wore off.

With him not holding back his strength, what was to follow was probably going to go down as the most one-sided beatdown of monarch's by a fellow monarch in the history of the universe.
