After Samshiel had revived Loyce to calm the citizen down. The people were surprise to see their queen alive and it made them relieved that their suffering was finally over.

Samshiel made sure to lock the whole kingdom in a sub-dimension where time flow differently. He would then stay in the kingdom a whole year, helping in restoring the place.

Loyce was a competent woman able to work in helping her citizens despite what she experienced. Samshiel also knew her feelings for him but decided to take it slow as he dislikes the idea of her liking him just because he helped her and not knowing him more.

Currently he was inside his kamui dimension as he sat in lotus position. Inside his mindscape was four new energies moving around.

They were the rewards for saving the kingdom. The energies were Moon, Sun, Star and Creation. All were powerful as Samshiel could feel they was nurturing his body.

He began to circulate the energies inside his dantian and felt his body was reaching his bottleneck but couldn't breakthrough because of the world.

Inside inner world countless stars, moons, sun and planets were being created becoming comparable to about ten percent of The Milky Way galaxy.

He could feel his veins were becoming thicker than before and his world energy seed growing more, sprouting dozens of roots. Samshiel took this opportunity to also nourish his Divine Tree who began to sprout a young fruit.

Samshiel still couldn't eat it because it lacked nourishment. He knew this fruit would be a massive boost to his body when it fully matures.

After finishing, he used the energies to strengthen his inner world, he started to solidify his mindscape trying to shape his sea of consciousness and thankfully there was progress but it was far from forming a real sea of consciousness.

Samshiel opened his eyes revealing a galaxy like eyeball but it quickly disappeared returning to how it was.

After a few days of cultivating Samshiel had reached the bottleneck of each task. Samshiel knew that one flick of his fingers could destroy the whole continent therefore he lowered his power output.

"Now that's done let me try using this creation energy."

The creation energy had a similar effect as his dream energy but much weaker and less chaotic to used. It wasn't useful for battle but it was overpowered when cultivating as Samshiel could make it act as a catalyst to any energy.

Samshiel finally decided to stop training and went to visit Loyce outside his kamui dimension. Seeing Samshiel arrive made her smile while blushing.

She went to more private places to discuss the recent events and things needed. Samshiel made sure to make anyone not leak information about what had conspired.

Finishing her report, Samshiel decided to walk around the city with her which made her extremely happy to have a date with him.

He had already told the rest of his harem about another addition which they approved. Samshiel will spend time with them after returning.

It would be a nice vacation to travel around the world with his family. The people were busily restoring their kingdom and gave a smile to their queen and new ruler(saint). Loyce was taking the liberty to hold Samshiel arms.

"So how does it feel being called a saint by people?"

Loyce teased Samshiel when they were walking.Hearing her he just smiled wryly.

Since he wanted to heal his mother with the best possible way, he spent his days in The Spades Kingdom spamming his Angel's Embrace skill, maxing it's level, but during this period he gained the title of a saint from the people he had healed.

Inside The Clover Kingdom people are busy having festival where many assortment of vendors and entertainment were lined up.

Samshiel was currently with Sapphire and Vanessa having a date alongside Asta and Noelle. He was amazed at how breathtaking the festival was because of how many people are gathered be it nobles or commoners.

While walking around Samshiel and his group met with Kahono and Kiato from the water temple. All of them went and enjoyed their time while Samshiel was waiting for his other lovers to arrive.

"I should have invited Tiamat next time but I think nothing would interest her unless it has a connection to treasures…"

Samshiel has already trained with her a few times making him reach yet another bottleneck. He needs to find another world to break through.

He then saw Zihao Yu, Charlotte and Acier dressed in a beautiful dress while Mereleona wore her usual clothing. Samshiel gave each woman their respective kiss even Mereleona who after their lips separated was panting heavily.

Samshiel wasn't disappointed with Mereleona not wearing a dress because he doesn't want to force her to wear one.

After half a minute everyone took the time to enjoy the festival and everything went as the canon. He bought each of his woman jewelry including Mereleona.

Samshiel made sure to mark their body with his dragon mark indicating they were his. Everyone started gathering as The Wizard King made his appearances.

He began to announce the recent events and started to introduce the magic knight captains excluding Charlotte. People were stunned that the Black Bulls was first place due to Samshiel doing missions flawlessly.

The noble started gossiping among themselves which pissed Samshiel off so he released his draconic aura. This made Mereleona grin, because of how overwhelming his power was.

"Oi! You lot better shut up because we worked hard for it!"

He began to create shadow wings flying to the stadium while Asta was thrown by Yami. Samshiel stood there releasing his charisma of an emperor making everyone watch in awe.

(A/N: my dude mad flexing.)

"Everyone in the ranks of a magic knight there is no difference between a noble or a commoner as in order to reach the top one must have the conviction to face every obstacle regardless of how many times you lose but you must stand up. This one here does not have and magic but…"

Samshiel turned to face Asta creating a massive dragon shaped shadow demise magic blasting it towards Asta who used his devil form just to slice it. Everyone shielded their eyes as the aftershock was immense.

'Shit I forgot that my power has increased.."

Samshiel couldn't help but have his sweat dropping because it was one in hundred thousand of his power output. He didn't expect it to this much power.

"Shit! I miscalculated my power…"

"You bastard I almost died!!???"

"Oh don't be a baby, it won't kill you…probably."

"Probably!?"

"Oh look at the time The Wizard King is about announce the arrival of the king."

He ignored Asta while the spectators' sweat dropped seeing Samshiel's antics. Everyone looked in awe at the king….just kidding.

The King started to rant about his uselessness being noble which made Samshiel heart of the emperor act up. Releasing his overwhelming charisma.

"You may be the king but the one working hard to make this kingdom great and try to improve the people's lives is The Wizard King and the magic knights. A true king serves his citizens while the citizens serve their king. Listen well nobles, the time will come when your status will not hold any meaning without the help of the magic knights or the people below."

Everyone was listening intently to Samshiel while the king couldn't utter a single word because The Wizard King was calming him down.

"Anyways forgive me for taking your time."

The cocky bastard coughed while smirking as the idiot revealed the plan to the public about raiding the hideout of the enemy terrorists. Samshiel wanted to laugh so hard from his desperate seek for attention.

After finishing his speech, everyone went back then got down while he met Mereleona and her two brothers. She was scolding them intensely.

"You bastards! How can you let this bunch of idiots have such a low rank!!!??? What have you been doing, you idiot of a brother!!"

"I have been training them appropriately but it seems that we have been lacking this year."

"Tch your like little girl whining about the what if!! Show me what your training hold for!!"

Mereleona then engulfed her fist with flames same as Fugeleon and before their fists collided, a dark portal was created in front of their fists.

"Jeez you two are causing a ruckus. Hey Mereleona, chill. If it makes you happy let's make them go to the hot springs."

"Brat! Why did you interfere?!"

Samshiel didn't say anything and bit on her ear making her calm down. She hnow has very sensitive ears because of her lioness bloodline.

Everyone breathed out heavily as the monster woman was tamed but their faces soon turned pale as Samshiel spoke.

"Now then! All of you maggots will be coming with us to the hot springs. Including you two!"

He stared at both Asta and Yuno making both of them shudder. One by one he picked them up and went to the hot springs. The volcanic grand mana zone.

"Hahaha this takes me back when I was training!"

"indeed its been a long time since we met here. YOU MOGRELS FOLLOW ME!"

"Hey Leona, want to have a spar while going to the peak."

"You read my mind brat!"

Both monsters moved in an unbelievable speed appearing and disappearing as they both engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

"Noelle let's go make sure do what I trained you in."

"Yes mot- I mean Anne(Acier)."

Both women wore Valkyrie outfits as they dashed to the peak. Charlotte, Vanessa and Sapphire followed them. Unlike in the original, Asta was able to control his devil form.

Everyone met up in the peak where boiling water was being produces. Samshiel decided to have his solo hot spring where the temperature is the highest. He was a dragon therefore high temperature was comfortable for him.

He was with Vanessa, Sapphire, Charlotte, Mereleona, Acier and Zihao Yu. Samshiel brought out his [Ambrossia], passing a cup to Mereleona.

Samshiel made sure to lock the space to make sure no one was going to peek on his private time with his harem. He took a chug of the alcohol and felt someone sitting on his lap and thought it was Vanessa but was shocked seeing that it was Mereleona who was breathing roughly.

"What happened, Leona?"

"Y-you brat did you…ha…know how long I have been holding back…"

Samshiel instantly knew what's going on, as he remembered the past when he narrowly escaped her grasps.

"You're in heat?"

"Shut up brat!"

She said as their lips collided battling for dominance. Samshiel groped her nice ass making her squeal a bit, making him grin.

"I did not expect for you to make such a sound?"

"Samshiel…."

He stopped teasing her as it was one of the few times, she had called him by his name. It was going to be a very long night.
