Michael didn't rush to establish a Link of Loyalty with everyone. He finished the Link, asked them how they felt, and provided them with the Soultrait Symbols as requested.
So Divine Lifeforms were impatient, but Michael ignored them. Nobody was allowed to disturb him as he slowed down deliberately whenever soone spoke up or bothered him. Once everyone realized what Michael was doing, they stopped moving and waited impatiently for their turn.
Michael had no idea how much ti passed, but all 600ish Links of Loyalty had been ford at so point. The Links weren't strong or anything, but that wasn't needed. The Divine Lifeforms didn't trust Michael and forced themselves to sign the Link of Loyalty – so at least – while waiting for the Heads to kill Michael and end their suffering by returning their freedom. Michael was fine with that thought, though he wouldn't allow anyone to kill him.
"I am do–..." Even before Michael could finish the sentence, one of the Heads appeared before him. He shot across the open space of the Floating Union, unsheathed a sword, and slashed at Michael, ready to kill him on the spot.
Michael would have used Slipstream to escape the Head's attack under normal circumstances, but he knew what awaited him. The Floating Union's spatial distortion relic had been activated to prevent his spatial movents. Therefore, Michael used the Power Authority with Curse Fusion used on Jormungandr. All Serpent Seals activated while the blackish serpent scales grew from his body. A massive tail jut from his tailbone, and his pupils distorted, transforming into serpentine slits. Simultaneously, Michael unleashed Primordial Vessel's Perfect Soul Technique to unleash as much power as possible, combined with Unlimited Enhancent. Maybe the latter wasn't required, but Michael didn't plan to hold back. The Power Authority pushed his physical statistics to another level. He, Michael Fang, was now a Demi-God. One of the ordinary Heads couldn't kill him. Michael conjured a shield from Aethyr and used his Divinity on it. The shield blocked the incoming slash, and Michael's hand, two large fangs jutting from his knuckles shooting out of them, slashed back. The Head had been certain to kill Michael with the first attack. He'd expected to take Michael by surprise, after all. But that wasn't the case. Instead, the Head's throat was slashed. He tried to escape and pull back, triggering his great regeneration, but Michael's serpent tail had already coiled around his legs. Michael attacked again, thrusting the serpent fangs, alongside Jormungandr's poison, into the man's chest. His heart was pierced and rusted from God Curse poison, killing the Head in the next few seconds.
Michael turned around with a smile. The other Heads, most of them, were ready to attack. Even the Top Head had noticed sothing was wrong. He'd reacted too late, though. "Did you expect our betrayal?" The Top Head asked a tinge of curiosity in his voice.
"The Heads betrayed , not the Elders." Michael responded, which was enough for Top Head to turn to the Elders, "You discovered my plan and betrayed us…for him?" The Elders were shocked to the core, not only at the discovery but also at Top Head's accusation. "They don't know anything. They were oblivious to your plan. But you've exposed yourself now. I wonder if the Elders and Heads will keep working together. What will happen to the Altors Union after today?"
Top Head shrugged while trying to digest what had just happened, "I can kill the Elders after eliminating you. As long as everyone reports your betrayal, we can say you killed them."
"Is that so?" Michael asked, tilting his head with a knowing smile.
Top Head didn't like the way Michael looked at him. Sothing about it told Top Head how little control he had over the situation. He…had never been in charge of the situation. That was unexpected and unpleasant.
The Elders didn't attack the Heads for their betrayal. They stared at them in a mixture of surprise and shock and studied them. A glint of sothing flashed through their eyes, yet Michael ignored it. There was no need to pay any attention to the Elders. Still, it was clear that the trust between the two factions was broken. That wasn't great, as the timing was the worst possible. The Supre Human Alliance was their enemy. They weren't supposed to be hunting and betraying each other. That also ant nobody should have betrayed or attacked Michael.
"I think we're done here. You betrayed . Thus, you terminated our contract. I will take your lovely Divine Lifeforms with instead of keeping them here to help you out."
Michael didn't plan to take them away but wanted to use them as bait to lure the SHA to a different location. If all 600 Divine Lifeforms of the Altors Union learned how to fight Tier-8 powerhouses, Michael could conquer entire Galaxies using their prowess. The prowess to do so was certainly enough to attract so attention. They could distract the Super Awakened and Michael as they executed a bunch of other plans.
"I don't think you're going to leave anywhere. Not with an intact body, let alone MY Divine Lifeforms!" Top Head roared, but sothing unexpected happened as his voice resounded.
The Floating Union, a massive floating island – spanning more than a kiloter in radius – made of Void Ingots, disappeared with a snap.
Michael snapped his fingers once and combined Swallow Domain with the True Extraction Essence inserted into the Floating Union for the last two months.
The Floating Union disappeared, leaving 600ish powerhouses floating in the wide-open space. But that was not all. Removing the Floating Union might have been Michael's priority, but the spatial distortion device installed in the Floating Union was just as important. Or, at least, removing it was.
Swallow Domain consud the spatial distortion device as well. Therefore, Michael had an easy ti using Slipstream to escape. He transford a tiny amount of the Void Ingots, maybe one one-hundred-thousandth, and sucked its energy dry. The energy fueled his body and empowered his Energy Vortex, but more importantly was the energy infusing into Slipstream.
Top Head noticed Michael's action and charged ahead, but the Imperial Barrier used at its full power was enough to block the powerhouse for a quarter of a second. That was enough to envelop his Divine Lifeform Subordinates into Slipstream and activate the Soultrait Symbol.
Michael teleported out of the Altors Union with his Subordinates at once. They reappeared sowhere in the Novix Galaxy, where the 600ish Divine Lifeforms looked at each other in terror. "That was not what you all expected, didn't you?" Michael asked without a trace of joy, "That's what you get for trying to betray . I don't care about who you guys are or what you've been thinking. The mont you started scheming my death, you were dead to as well. The only reason you guys are alive is that I need your power. You need to kill enough enemies to make up my investnt, gain enough interest, and die a painful death."
Their future was bleak, and their deaths were bound to be painful. Michael was going to make sure of that. He would throw them from one battlefield onto the next.
"Prepare yourself!"
