( Two days before the banquet )
The envoys had returned successfully and all 4 kings were strong armed into coming to the banquet by the representatives sent by the Hazelgroove Empire.
While Neatwit and SMG had a smooth path , Karna actually had to kill two tier 4 generals to assert his dominance on the king to accept the proposal.
Nonetheless, nobody wanted to risk a war with Hazelgroove Empire backed by Cervantez hence although they did not like the suppressive attitude of the envoys they had no choice but to let them leave with respect from their kingdoms.
Naturally once the envoys left and the news travelled the 4 kings met in secret with one another to discuss a potential alliance should the Hazelgroove Empire chose to invade , however at this point in time the kings did not have a true idea about the strength of the True Elites Kingdom, they felt that Cervantez was just using King Shakuni as a pawn for his schemes and were in for a big surprise.
The four kingdoms had a terrain advantage that made it easy to defend against large armies as they had the cover of the mountain ranges. However such physical domains meant nothing to tier 5 powerhouses who could crush the mountains alongwith the cities inside with no problem at all.
The defense of the mountains then became a liability, which was why the four kingdoms needed to band together to stop such a powerful foe.
Understanding that their survival was on the line , the four kings banded together putting aside their personal differences as they headed towards the banquet together.

( Meanwhile in real life )
One of the most remarkable changes occured to Rudra’s physical body once he exited the gaming pod as he noticed that his skin was covered in glowing runic tattoos.
Rudra had a much tougher skin that broke steel knives upon impact as if it was rock and it was covered in light red runic tattoos all over which gave him a slightly alien look compared to a normal human.
He was covered in tattoos uptil his neck while his face remained untouched. Coupled with his already mystic eyes Rudra now looked more like a god from the myths as he had an omnipotent aura around him.
Rudra now felt like he was a part of the world’s mana stream itself as he felt an endless amount of energy flowing from inside him.
He no longer needed to bathe , eat or even sleep as he found that his energy levels remained high regardless of what he did.
He could keep himself clean by just willing all odor on his body to die , while he could keep his bodily functions regulated by converting all the waste in his body to microscopic excretions from his skin that would then be evaporated by body heat leaving him odorless once more.
The only physical need Rudra had anymore was for fluids as he still needed water although in much lesser amounts than a normal human as his body seemed to recycle water much better with his urine frequency becoming as low as 1 ce a week.
The changes to his strength were significant as well as he literally had the strength to demolish buildings now with a punch.
His comprehension towards nature increased as well as he started to view the world in a completely new light of laws.
Looking at the vast ground below from the top of the elites tower , Rudra now realised how tiny the land was compared to the giants he had seen in his vision in the universe that were land beasts much larger than earth as a planet.
Compared to that the physical act of owning a small plot on a small planet like Earth seemed to be pointless to Rudra now.
His interest in materialistic things seemed to have died down instantly as he did not seem to care about things that money could buy anymore as all the money on earth was practically useless when compared to the wide universe.
Once Rudra realised this fact , he understood that amassing wealth was no longer going to be of any use to him and that it was best to give it all back to the masses to gain good Karma.
Keeping aside only 1 trillion dollars for the safety of his family and his future generations , Rudra decided to give everything else he owned away as he tried to trade everything for food and rations for Japan.
Rudra’s emotions also became much more stable and consistent as nothing seemed to startle or shock him anymore as his very view of the problems on earth seemed to have been elevated to a larger scale.
It was like he was a member of a household before , trying to figure out a way to save the electronics in his house when heavy rains had flooded his house . However now he was a mayor looking over his city as he saw the city drown under heavy rains.
Compared to the grander scale of the city being submerged , he no longer cared about the electronics in one house which was going to be damaged , as if he started to worry about such small things then the real issues would be left unsolved.
Having dealt with his heart demon , Rudra understood that he needed to keep moving forward and keep getting more and more powerful for him ever being in a position of power to save his people and his Race.
The law of the jungle was not just on planet earth but the whole of universe and nature only selected the strongest to live on.
Although Rudra did not understand the origins or the meaning behind his newfound power , but coupled with his stable mindset and the newly developed aloofness , he realised that the petty things on earth that he was holding onto dearly were worth nothing at all.
The only thing that he needed to hold onto was his power and his goodness of heart , it was time to expand his view from caring about just one guild to the entire human race , as he understood now that he had already become the strongest guildmaster for the one guild in humanity , however in the wide universe the entire planet earth was like a small guild itself , and it was now his turn to become the guildmaster of this small planet and take it to the very top!
