Floating Island - Triple S Talent

At 7 AM on Lein's island.

As usual, Lein and Nita were sitting on the balcony, enjoying the bright and beautiful morning. Lein's island had grown considerably, now spanning almost 4000 x 4000 meters.

The city had undergone significant improvements. Defense towers had been added, troop barracks built, production buildings increased, and support areas such as playgrounds, hotels, restaurants, and even educational facilities were established.

They planned to officially announce the establishment of the World Market Alliance and inform all sovereign's in regional #2344 that Lein's island was open to the public.

"Brother, they will arrive in an hour," Nita said while sipping her tea.

By "they," she meant the members of the group (Princess Nita) who had agreed to join Lein's island. Their islands would also merge with Lein's island.

"Yes, we should get ready then," Lein replied calmly.

Outside the walls of Life City (the name of Lein's city), 1200 soldiers were lined up neatly, fully armed. The weapons they used were provided by Lein for free, obtained from opening silver chests.

In order to create 1200 level 20 troops, Lein spent a total of 2000 energy crystals per level. 1200 troops cost a total of 24,000,000 energy crystals. And as usual, Lein didn't need all the energy crystals, he had an almost unlimited amount by selling discarded items on the system market.

Lein intentionally stationed them outside the city to show those coming to Life City not to act recklessly. With the strength of 1200 level 20 soldiers, only a fool would cause trouble. Additionally, more than 200 sturdy defense towers were erected inside and outside the city.

...

There were a total of 5 towers on Lein's island, all the best he could obtain. However, he couldn't compete with the top alliance towers, who had probably opened countless golden chests.

In their free time, Lein and Nita spent their time opening chests, forging weapons, planting flowers, building territorial structures, and many other activities to enhance the island and its equipment.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Lein and Nita were waiting leisurely at the front of the main city, welcoming several islands approaching.

From afar, ten islands of various sizes were approaching. The largest measured 15,000 x 15,000 meters, two others were over 10,000, and the rest ranged from 5,000 to 10,000 meters.

Lein hadn't expected the recruits to have islands larger than his own. Of course, these individuals wouldn't come without benefits. Lein had promised them all that if they joined his territory, he would provide them with a full set of elite level 20 equipment (green equipment or +10 refine), 10 Blessing Potions (100 empty attribute, max 5 times), and a high position in the World Market Alliance.

Lein, of course, wouldn't give them benefits without expecting something in return. His first requirement was an S-rank or unique A-rank talent.

As the island with 10-meter high stone walls merged with Lein's island, several dozen people and over 100 soldiers stood ready outside the walls.

Lein saw the leader, an old man in a pristine white robe with a long white beard, and deep, calm eyes. Lein guessed that this old man was a scholar back on Earth.

The old man led his people towards Lein's island.

After a moment, the two groups met, and Lein spoke first, raising his right hand.

"Welcome, Mr. Haikal. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The old man laughed warmly and shook Lein's hand.

"It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Lein."

Mr. Haikal then introduced several people behind him, all of whom were part of his extended family. He had three children, all of whom were married. Since the system gathered people with blood relations in the nearest area during the first teleportation, they all joined together, with Mr. Haikal as the leader.

Lein then checked Mr. Haikal's panel.

[STATUS]

- Name: Haikal Emanuel

- Level: 12

- Class: Magic

Lein was quite surprised to see Mr. Haikal's level of 12. He was curious about Mr. Haikal's attribute values, but the system didn't display other sovereign's attributes on the information panel.

Mr. Haikal was an S-rank talent sovereign, so Lein valued the old man highly. Lein didn't know the specifics of Mr. Haikal's S-rank talent, but during the contract signing, Mr. Haikal had provided information about his talent level and capabilities.

Not long after Mr. Haikal arrived, other islands began to appear. The last island to arrive was the largest, measuring 15,000 x 15,000 meters. This island radiated a sacred aura, even more so than Lein's holy sword aura. Additionally, a 100-meter high white wall blocked the view of the city inside.
