I open my eyes to see myself in a totally dark place.
I look around me searching for anything.
"Where is this place?"
I ask myself.
But before I get an answer, I wake up.
"Huh?"
I look at the three women sleeping besides me.
"So it was a dream... A strange one, but whatever"
I brush it off as a dream.
After all, what's the use of pondering over something so little?
Oh, poor shadow. He doesn't know how wrong he was.
I stay in my place for a while, enjoying the presence of my 'wife'.
But alas, there is no time for this.
"Hey girls? "
I shake Anna and Alice.
"Ru?"
Unlike the other two, Xiao ru wake up after the call.
She rubs her eyes.
"Yawn, what time is it?"
She asks a bit sleepy.
"I don't know, but we have a lot to do, wife"
I say the last part with a lot of possessiveness that Ru shivers.
"O-ok"
She stutters before getting up.
Some time later the other two wake up and we get ready.
You may ask, what are we getting ready for?
The plan.
For the plan we have to be ready for any mishaps and that means training.
Yes, training not cultivating.
What's the difference? You will know eventually.
"Everyone ready?"
I ask as I look at the three women opposite me.
"Yes!"
They answer simultaneously.
"Then let's go!"

In the same old dark Hall, the seven figures where sitting.
"Why did you call for us today, Ir-ka?"
The strong figure asks the question on everyone's head.
Ir-ka states at him for a moment before sharing the plan.
....
...
..
.
An hour passed since he started explaining.
"That's a good plan, but why did you call us is still a question"
The strong figure speaks.
"For insurance"
Ir-ka says calmly.
"Insurance?"
This time another figure speaks.
"Yes, I need the seven races to gather their strong ones to protect the young Lord during negotiations, but not all fighting forces. We don't want to provoke a full scale war."
The white tiger Lord explains patiently.
"That makes sense, but we can also let him die"
All the hall looks at the figure who spoke with various reactions.
"Explain what you mean"
Ir-ka demands with an angry tone.
That's his young lord!
"If he is killed by humans that will bring the wrath of his parents and family and they must be strong due to their bloodline. we will suffer minimal punishments not deserving death because we weren't the actual culprits"
The figure explains his point of view.
Some others in the hall nod, that seems like the easiest option.
Ir-ka falls into contemplation.
'This is not good, I must use that'
"Well, your plane is plausible , but he isn't a normal descendant"
Ir-ka says as he rests his head on his hand.
"What do you mean?"
They figures asks with puzzled looks.
"He is the direct heir"
As if a bomb have fallen, everyone falls silent for a long time.
After three whole minutes of silence, finally a figure speaks.
"Bullishit! How can the direct son come to such a planet and agree to help us?!?"
He bursts out.
"I checked it myself, do you dare question me?"
Ir-ka narrows his eyes.
The figure that spoke gulps and shakes his head.
Ir-ka stands up and turns to leave.
"If no one is helping then screw it, I am doing it alone"
"Wait"
The strong figure suddenly speaks.
Actually, their doubts were not exactly wrong.
Let me explain them to you in a better way.
The president's son comes to your humble town and you ask him to help you carry some groceries to the top floor and he agries to help you.
Hard to believe right?
Now imagine it on a cosmic scale, the son of th ice tige king coming to a humble planet and helps their people.
"Tell us what you need"
The figure says with a new glow in his eyes.

Back to our dear shadow, he was in a flat ice grounds.
Shadow looks at his hands.
"I must make use of this power"
He clenched his fist with determination.
Shadow discovered a very bad flaw in himself.
He isn't practical in using his powers.
Yes he is strong, yes you is a higher level than him.
But if you can't use that power properly and he can, you are doomed.
"Let's start"
Shadow raises his hand and an ice ball is created out of thin air.
He clenches his hand slightly before opening it.
Spikes!
Spikes come out of the ice ball.
"Wait... Manipulating ice consumes less energy than making it"
He suddenly realizes.
He looks at the ice around him and raises his other hand, extracting ice from the ground and forming it into a ball.
"I was right!"
He says excitedly.
He keeps making ice structures and trying new moves before stopping.
An idea pops into his mind.
"What if..."
He looks at his hand and imagines an ice sword and the next instant, a sword is created.
"Hmm it is sharp but... "
He puts some pressure over the sword and it breaks.
"Fragile... "
He keeps trying different things but to no avail.
"Tsk, I failed again. Where does it go wrong?"
He tries making a sword again but this time more slowly trying to understand.
"The ice gathers making the sword and it is done. Sharp but fragile"
He analyzes.
"Maybe if I... "
Shadow throws the sword away and focusses on making a new sword.
Instead of making it sharp he tries to make it thick.
It works but it can no longer cut anything losing its sharpness.
After some tries he tries to do something new.
He applies thickness to the sword while controlling its sharpness.
And the result...
It works!
"Finally!"
Shadow swings the sword around joyfully.
"I think this is a 2nd tier sword?"
He examines his creation.
Just then he summons the spear from the system.
"And this spear is a 3rd tier ,huh? It can no longer help me"
He puts he spear and the sword back in his storage place.
