"Well, preparations are necessary," Almond replied with a chuckle.
"Indeed, and you didn't say you had another Immortal Emperor summon," Simon wryly smiled.
"I never said I only had one," Almond faintly smiled.
"You got me," Simon laughed.
The other three people with Simon looked young, in their thirties. Naturally, their real age was much higher than their appearance, and this applied to basically all Immortal Emperors.
These three powerhouses, two grandsons and one granddaughter, were also Immortal Emperors, albeit early-stage ones.
Looking at Almond, Admiral Rudra, and Lily's presence in the grove, they frowned.
'Why are they in the Hyper Speed 2 field?' Follow current novᴇls on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
'Grandpa, what's going on?'
'They look human but don't feel exactly human…'
'But why are these Immortals here?'
The trio spoke in the soul network, informing or rather, inquiring of Simon, who was their grandfather.
"It seems that my descendants here have some doubts about your position," Simon grinned. "Say, how about you show me your combat power a bit and spar with these three?"
"Of course, it's not just for them, but I got many calls about you three even though your position is assigned here, so showing your combat power would clear the doubts from everyone here."
Almond could indeed feel many eyes on them.
"What?! You want three of us to fight against him together?" the long-wavy, purple-haired woman with a busty figure exclaimed, feeling indigent.
"Grandpa, are you looking down on us or overestimating him? You didn't see his power yet, and you still gave them position here?" a strong-jawed man with blond hair said, frowning.
The third one, who had pale skin with purple eyes, messy purple hair, and a deadpan expression, said, "Sick joke, gramps."
His eyes formed intricate, complex patterns as he scanned Almond.
— Body Constitution: 2452
— Mental Constitution: 2842
— Soul Constitution: 2898
— Arcane Constitution: 8-
Before he could see his full Arcane Constitution, his power was blocked, but seeing 8 as the first number of Almond's Arcane Constitution made the guy's eyes tremble.
At that time, Admiral Rudra turned around with a carefree gait and said as he waved his hand, "You handle them, Almond. I am going to meditate."
"Sure, I can show them a move or two," Almond smiled, his eyes narrowing.
'Jessica, Kai, he got his Arcane Constitution at fucking eight-thousand plus, but his other stats are so-so. If he hits us, we'll be fucked, but if we hit him, he's fucked.'
'Humph, so he is one of those geniuses of the arcane. Gramps is really looking down on us then.'
"You three. No need to hold back, alright?" Simon turned to the trio and said with a grin.
"Let's go up," Almond smiled and vanished before appearing five kilometers above in the sky.
They were already one kilometer off the ground, but fighting at this altitude would disturb other Immortal Emperors since many were meditating, so it was better to fight high up.
Jessica, Kai, and Andrew looked up before shooting up like beams and floating across to Almond fifty meters away.
Simon and other Immortal Emperors also had their attention there while they were talking in the soul network to each other, with Simon clarifying the situation to everyone.
Above, Almond manifested his Regalon Spirit Armament in semi-form as his aura suddenly surged.
Many Immortal Emperors and even the five Supreme Emperors were watching. Those with powerful will and abilities measured Almond's stats accurately and were surprised.
Almond also looked at his own stats and internally nodded. 'Semi-Form is good enough against these three. My stats are close to theirs now.'

"So what if you reached the same stats as us?" Jessica snorted as a spiked, neon-gleaming whip shimmering orange and pink patterns cracked the air as she whipped it. "If you have anything more to bring out, do it now."
Kai frowned upon seeing that Almond was bare-handed and said, "Why don't you take out a weapon?"
"My weapon?" Almond dryly chuckled. "Bringing it out would be overkill. But I have a suggestion: why don't you put away those armors?"
"They give a defense, but that's meaningless before me." Almond looked at the armor they wore. "They are quite valuable, so I don't want to break them."
Unlike the items that increased the stats of people in the first layer, which were only due to the laws of Grimworld and how leveling and sources were established for people to help get strong, the items and equipment never gave stats to the people here.
Sure, wearing armor with special effects could buff them and do many other things on top of providing various types of defenses, but no longer did one have their stats increased just by wearing the equipment.
So hearing that Almond would shatter those three Immortal Emperor-rank Armors made many feel ridiculous.
"Anyway, let's start, shall we?" Almond smiled as he gestured with his hand after stretching his arm, beckoning them. "Come on, make your moves."
Seeing an Immortal look down on three Immortal Emperors was something they hadn't seen before.
Andrew's aura burst instantly as he turned into a sharp light like an arrow, straight towards Almond, his speed entering Hyper Speed 2.
But to Almond, Andrew might as well have stopped moving. Almond's body and mind only needed a single instant to enter Hyper Speed 3.
Blinking once, Almond saw Andrew's spear just a few inches away from his head. Leisurely floating beside Andrew, Almond looked back and saw Andrew's bottom half was still in an energy form of his Prime energy.
'Not bad. I rate this Prime Energy six out of ten.'
Prime Energies were produced from Prime Energy Sigils. Basically, Prime Energy was an amalgamation of specific attributes of one's every arsenal of power to execute a broad number of moves of a certain type.
Various attributes from elements, Intent-based attributes, and Conceptual Powers' attributes are imbued into a single place. Taking wind's speeding attribute, metal's sharpness, and fire's combustion into a single energy would make it suitable for offensive projectile skills.
Just like that, these Prime Energies were complex structures of energies used to execute suitable moves. Since they were interchangeable and ever-changing by the user, powerhouses would refine their combat arsenals regularly upon improving in some areas.
Andrew's attack was directly aimed at finishing him off with that offensive Prime Energy-based attack, but of course, Almond would show mercy.
