"Good luck!" Danny said when Michael departed.

His expression turned sour as he saw Michael's fleeting back and he was at a sudden loss.

"If you die, I will come and find you in hell. So don't even think about it!!!" Danny shouted, his voice echoing loudly through the hallway.

Michael's entire body shook when he heard his brother's words, but he didn't turn around.

He knew that his resolve would crumble and he would dissolve in tears if he turned back to see Danny one more time before departing, and he didn't want to cry.

'It's only a few years. That's nothing.' Michael told himself.

'Just call him every now and then, and it will be fine. Nothing much will change compared to the last few years.' He reassured himself before he slapped his cheeks hard.

'Don't be a crybaby and get your act together!'

Michael reached the ground floor, entered the shuttle he had hailed, and they departed.

Overwhelmed by his emotions, Michael kept staring out of the window for the next two hours. The shuttle left the city in ten minutes and began to accelerate until it reached a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour.

Michael didn't want to dwell too much on his departure from home. Thus, he focused more on what to do next once he stepped inside his territory.

The territory expanded fast, and the Bilrox younglings had fully matured by now. The Bilrox ranch had been expanded as well, and it was about time to make use of it.

For now, Michael didn't want to conquer other territories or wreak havoc in the Untamed Jungle. Instead, he believed that it was far more important to create an indomitable foundation just like his brother did.

Contrary to Danny, Michael was in possession of the Extraction Soultrait. This provided various benefits, including a vast influx of Summoning Scrolls, blueprints, the ability to dissect corpses perfectly and harvest a huge pile of resources in no time.

Michael's foundation would be different from the indomitable foundation Danny had built up over the course of several years. Of course, that didn't mean his foundation would be worse.

In fact, Michael was certain that he had the means to build an even stronger foundation than his brother!

The only issue was that Michael hadn't heard any news of the powerhouse backing the Lionhearts so far. Most people believed that no news was good news. However, Michael would rather be up-to-date and informed about his opponents than stay an ignorant fool – unprepared and standing on the edge of a cliff without even realizing it.

'It's about time that I travel to Xiltra,' Michael told himself in the shuttle.

Lilica was the only one who might know something about the person backing the Lionheart Adventurer Team, and her EmeraldLeaf Adventurer team was stationed in Xiltra.

'But let's settle down in the spaceship first.' Michael reminded himself as a ginormous construction entered his sight far away at the horizon.

The immense structure of Elyra's spaceship harbor was situated within a colossal, domed structure spanning several square kilometers.

The dome was constructed using advanced, translucent materials, allowing natural light to filter through. The exterior looked sleek and streamlined, which was different from the huge metal pipes and rough structure Michael had expected to see.

As the shuttle approached the spaceship harbor, Michael realized many things.

The interior was designed to maximize the usable space, with support beams seamlessly integrated into the structure. There was more than enough space for dozens of shuttles to pass through the entrance simultaneously.

The shuttle slowed down upon entering the perimeter of the spaceship harbor. Security drones appeared around the shuttle, requesting Michael to identify himself and state his reason for arrival.

Michael wasn't surprised by this. He had already been given the Security and Defense protocol document which included a list of rules, and documents one had to bring to be allowed to leave the planet.

Michael had prepared everything, so he quickly passed through the identification with his Lord ID, travel documents, biometric scanners, and so on. It might seem like a hassle to some, but it was actually convenient. He didn't even have to leave the shuttle.

Once he passed through the security check, Michael's gaze took in the spaceship harbor and he looked around with wide eyes. It was truly fascinating.

Not only was the defense system of Elyra's spaceship harbor one of the most advanced autonomic defensive systems created by mankind, but the spaceship harbor was also one of the safest in the solar system.

Energy shields capable of blocking psionic beams and attacks of planetary-level powerhouses were installed, and a highly trained security force to maintain order was also present to act swiftly in case of an emergency.

Michael felt safe and sound as the spaceship made it inside the spaceship harbor, which boasted of a futuristic aesthetic just like one would imagine. Sleek lines, polished surfaces, and minimalist design. Holographic displays and interactive interfaces were integrated into the walls and walkways next to the shuttle hallway, providing real-time information and navigation assistance.

Overall, Michael felt as if he had been transported to a different world.

Laki was already one of the most modern cities on Elyra, and the spaceship harbor was on a completely different level.

The entire ambiance exuded a sense of the extraterrestrial – or how Michael imagined outer space to be like. It made his heart beat faster and ignited the excitement of exploring outer space.historical

"Amazing!" He blurted out in awe as the shuttle took a turn to the right, where his destination was waiting for Michael.

He was greeted by an array of docking bays, each capable of accommodating multiple spaceships simultaneously. The bays were spacious, one bigger than the other, with towering walls and a high ceiling.

'None of those spaceships is for us..just how big will our spaceship be?' Michael wondered as he looked at the serial number of the spaceships they passed by, wondering which one was theirs. One was bigger than the other, yet none of the serial numbers corresponded to their spaceship.

Only a few spaceships were left at the docking bay, and they were the biggest. The spaceship they would use to travel to Kelta had to be the size of a small town!

Michael's heart skipped a beat when he thought about traveling in a town-sized spaceship. It had always been one of his goals to travel to space, and he was finally about to achieve one of his bigger goals.

It felt like a dream came true. He was excited like a little child, grinning from ear to ear at the sight of the humongous spaceships.

Meanwhile, the shuttle continued to fly through the humongous spaceship harbor, looking like a tiny ant.

After a few minutes, they reached the end of the docking bays. The shuttle stopped and descended to the ground.

Michael stepped out of the shuttle where he was greeted by a crowd of people exuding terrifying pressure, and a large group of serious-looking young men and women.

'So it's already starting?' He mused to himself.

Michael swallowed his saliva sensing the seriousness hanging in the air.
