Chapter 968 A celestial gathering
( The celestial realm, Rudra )
" oooooo! Hotdamn-" Enel said as he took a bite of the steamy fried rice that Rudra had just cooked for his first celestial hosting event.
Today, Rudra was hosting 6 celestials in a friendly get-together as they watched the council of monarchs meeting, however, never in their wildest dreams did the celestials imagine that the council of monarchs meeting would turn into such an entertaining event.
There was constant live commentary and grading of dialogues that were said as well as introspection about how it could have been done better as even Rudra had to admit that doing so was pointless but fun.
The celestials gathered mocked Micheal, they mocked Hazriel and they even mocked Drax, however everyone seemed to be more or less impressed by Max and wanted him to be more assertive.
Most who had ascended had developed an alpha male complex as they could not tolerate even the slightest of insults from lesser beings and hence when Micheal slandered Max for relying on the queen to do his bidding there was public outrage.
" You fool, he has more talent in his pinky than you have in your body" Celestial Jasmine said as she took a bite of the fried rice.
" Absolutely delicious, this rice, but that angel ruins the taste in my mouth, I wish I could go back down and give him a pounding" Junfred said as Rudra nodded vigorously.
" Look at that evil bitch Beniogre, she's having fun" Celestial Dorian said as he took a bite of the popcorn and chewed it angrily.
It was like watching a reality entertainment show with friends and although it was Rudra's first time participating in such a thing, he realised that there were not much forms of entertainment in the celestial realm so watching mortal affairs was how they passed the time.
Thankfully, things took a turn for the best and as Max crushed his opponents balls one after another loud cheers broke out in the celestial realm as lots of food was devoured and lots of wine drunk.
The crowd was already pro-Max from the start, however, after his extremely entertaining performance, his fan-base only reached a fever pitch as the celestials began demanding a worthy climax where Max claimed Micheal's head for his insolence.
" While I'd like to enjoy watching that as well, I don't think my brother will want to kill Micheal, I think he likes that woman Hazriel and hence he won't kill her brother" Rudra shared as loud Boos erupted from the crowd.
They wanted to see blood being shed, but unfortunately that was not going to happen today.

( Meanwhile Max )
After he beat down all three angels, he locked them up using [ Divine Concealment ] as he wanted to take this opportunity to drive the point home that he was not to be trifled with in the future.
" Micheal, let this be the end of our feud and a lesson for you to understand that you are not my opponent.
Not only can my bodyguard kill you, so can the queen and these are actually the better scenarios for you rather than facing me directly.
So don't cross me again, else you will only cause pain and suffering to your loved ones" Max said as he pointed towards Raphael and Sariel who were rolling on the ground too.
" You evil bastard, you fight so dirty! Attacking a man's manhood, disgraceful! I'll never forgive you, I'll never bow before you, I'll neve-"
" Queen, mute him, and keep him here locked up forever" Max said as he lost interest in Micheal once he started to chant gibberish as the queen sound isolated Micheal and immediately everything went quiet.
Calmly walking over to the other monarchs, Max walked back through the hole he had made as everyone subconsciously gave him space and did not block his way.
" Anyone else wish to test me? Or have problems with my position as the supreme lord?" Max asked as immediately the entire council bowed their heads and replied in unison " We greet the supreme lord" as Max nodded his head in acknowledgement.
This was the same level of respect that he commanded in the vampire council as well where although he wasn't the best liked, his decision was supreme because he was the undisputed strongest.
To be fair, Max wanted to be civil and did not feel any satisfaction in making people bend to his whims, however, he also understood that sometimes it was necessary.
Once everyone fell into line it was easier to get things done and be productive, however, for everyone to fall in line an initial shock was necessary.
" I'm sorry Hazriel, I tried my best to show your brother that I'm worthy of you and my position at the head of this table, but he won't listen" Max said with a sigh as he apologised to Hazriel for all the trouble.
However, Hazriel brushed it off as she said " no, you tried to warn him, so did I, but I guess he did not listen. It's okay, I think he will come around once his anger subsides and he realises that his dreams to have this council under him won't come true"
Max nodded once again as he looked at her and pointed her to take the seat of the Angel monarch on behalf of Micheal.
" Please love, join us-" Max said teasingly as Hazriel chuckled before sitting on Micheal's seat as the discussion on the biannual council of monarchs meeting finally started.
A variety of issues from the future of universal trade to the problem of space pirates were discussed.
Questions about whether the queen should be used to eliminate them were raised as well as the importance of such entities in society was debated, but in the end it was decided to let them be, as only when there were outlaws did there need to be law and order as the monarchs deemed them as a necessary evil for society to function smoothly.
