In the Quiet Chamber of the Deep Blue Residence, Allen sat cross-legged on his Meditation mat.
When he first submitted his application to become the Deputy Minister of the Anomaly Threat Response Department, he requested a five-year buffer period.
The reason he gave was very official: his cultivation realm was unstable and needed consolidation.
Five years sounded like a long time, but for a Morning Star Wizard, it was merely the blink of an eye.
His real reason was that while he now possessed the realm of a Dawn Star Level, his actual combat power was likely at the very bottom of his peers.
Housed in a temporary Alchemy Puppet, he had nowhere to channel his immense power. He felt like a max-level player in a top-tier game who was still stuck wearing beginner's cloth armor.
But that didn't matter. As a Wizard of the Alchemy School, Allen's greatest strength had never been the size of his Golem Legion, but rather his financial power!
