The moment he\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>closed the distance, that same easy warmth resurfaced without restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Mic, you've arrived,\" Renn said, stopping a step away, his eyes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>carrying genuine excitement rather than the reserved politeness most nobles defaulted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael inclined his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's great to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up close, the difference in Renn became clearer. It was not just posture or attire. It was refinement in presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael had heard of his connection to Grand Knight Veren, the same man who first taught him the classification of weapon skills. The one who explained that once a weapon user reached Advanced Mastery, they could begin touching reflective weapon Qi, the threshold where technique transformed into force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Renn had become that man's direct disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael felt quiet satisfaction at the thought. For someone like Renn, that path could only bring benefits. And he was not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Michael did not know was how much Renn's status had changed because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Noah family, once a minor baron house, had undergone a quiet but monumental transformation. They now held three viscount titles. One for Renn's father. One for his elder brother. And the third for Renn himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not just rank. It was influence. Standing. Political voice. All of it had shifted the moment Renn became the disciple of one of the kingdom's peak powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a minor baron house to a rising viscount family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All because one son caught the eye of a legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uga's grin widened as he stepped closer, eyes scanning Michael like a beast judging prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty boy,\" he said loudly, \"I can sense it. You stronger now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael's expression did not change, though the corner of his mouth lifted faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uga jabbed a thumb at his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renn's smile faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uga...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Uga ignored him, leaning forward with bright, uncomplicated intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might lose once,\" he declared. \"But Uga no lose second time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael could only smile helplessly and turn his head away, ignoring the invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uga blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael could tell he had grown stronger. Like Renn, far stronger than months ago. But Michael had not been stagnant either. He had gone even farther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Uga could not beat him back then, there was no chance now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arianne had been beside Michael the entire time atop her Flame Lion, silently watching the three men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Michael not existed, one of the two before her might have been her fiancé by now, assuming her father approved. Fortunately, that was no longer the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uga was self explanatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renn was different. Refined. Well raised. Handsome in the way nobles admired. The kind of presence that would draw glances across the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to Michael...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze shifted briefly to the man in black armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not realize she had watched too long until Renn's eyes flicked\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>toward her. He paused, then smiled politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lady, pardon my manners,\" he said warmly. \"Sir Mic, won't you introduce your friend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word felt strange to Arianne. Not unwelcome, just distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael glanced at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Arianne Evermoon. Duke Evermoon's daughter. She's part of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the expedition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renn bowed deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An honor. I've heard of your talent with beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're Renn Noah,\" she replied evenly. \"Grand Knight Veren's\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of pride crossed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's true. I'm still learning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uga had already lost interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Michael for two breaths, then clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stomped off, dropped near a wall, and leaned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A palace attendant flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renn stared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uga... what are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uga did not open his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only came because you said pretty boy coming. Don't even know\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what gathering is. Sister said stay, so I stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned slightly toward Michael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also... pretty boy fight me later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael looked at him, then away with a helpless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arianne's lips twitched faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael was happy to see them. Yet beneath that satisfaction,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>something quieter surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because they had changed. But because he was beginning to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>understand something deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you became too much for others, everything shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the relationship began pure. Even if both sides tried their best,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the gap could not be unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes drifted briefly to Arianne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still beside him. But the stiffness was there. The hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The measured distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not her fault. Nor his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply what power did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization settled in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been circling an idea for a while. Now it felt inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Land of Origin was vast, far too vast for him to confine himself to one corner forever. He wanted what it offered. Its resources. Its\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>systems. Its people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could not abandon what he had built here either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The solution had always existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genesis Body. A skill he gained from his last evolution. It allowed him to create true\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>clones, bodies that could carry his will and exist in different places at\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Michael could remain here, guarding his foundation. Another could walk the Land of Origin freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even if he wanted to do this, Michael's current goal was to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>advance first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a palace steward entered the gathering grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arrival was quiet, but it immediately shifted the atmosphere. The nobles who had been sneaking glances at Michael and his group\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>since their arrival turned their attention toward the newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward walked with practiced composure, stopping where all\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>participants could see him clearly. He bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young lords and ladies,\" he began, voice clear but courteous, \"your\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>transport to the ruins is ready. We will be using an airship, so please be assured the journey will not take long.\" Excitement surfaced among the nobles gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward straightened and gestured politely toward the outer\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you would all please follow me, we will depart shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1004,"2026-05-28T17:47:55.579Z","2026-06-01T04:28:28.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","80da8414331e4ed3bf0669c9c7f8ad6c54b88c58f27035e98d8b16434020250f","evolving-my-undead-legion-in-a-game-like-world-chapter-838","evolving-my-undead-legion-in-a-game-like-world-chapter-836",970,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolving-my-undead-legion-in-a-game-like-world-cover.jpg"]
