If there was one thing that was working out well for the Dombivili lordship, it was the sheer amount of gold and loot that they had managed to plunder from the ice dungeon.
Although the death of Lucius Aurelius was a big blow for Max who had big contracts with the guy, he was also lucky enough to have the money to bankroll the projects without Lucius as well.
Whether it was re-fitting the army with better gear, or procuring new battleships and defence systems, Max spared no expense in the military department.
Week on week as patrol guards within the city walked with new shiny armour on the streets and as new air defence systems were installed in every sector, the commoners once again began believing that their lord was working in their best interest and that everything might turn out to be okay.
Morale was a complex emotion.
It was easy to plummet morale, however it was extremely difficult to uplift it, but through Max's consistent effort it did improve slightly with every peaceful day that passed.
To create such a stable world, Max's daily routine became extremely jam-packed.
As a god he did not need to eat or sleep too much, but just for his own mental health he slept once in every 72 hours for a short 2 hour duration.
For the days that he was not sleeping, his routine looked something like this -
The first thing in the morning was administrative duties which included budget approvals, progress reviews and meetings with ministers.
Then he would spend a few hours of quality time with Asiva and Kremeth Jr, uptil afternoon.
Once it was afternoon, Max would embark on his levelling endeavours within his new divine treasure, fighting bloody battles against monsters and improving his EXP at a rapid pace.
Then, around night-time he would exit the pagoda and fight against himself within the mirror realm, where he and grandpa Drax would reflect upon his weaknesses and shortcomings.
Finally, he would spend some alone time with Asiva to end his day only to repeat the process all over again the next morning.
It was a continuous cycle of work, family, fight and repeat for Max that would have driven any sane individual crazy, yet for a determined individual like Max who was burning with a desire for revenge and a thirst for success, it was no trouble at all.
It only took Kremeth Jr, a total of five days to become absolutely everyone's favourite within the dombivli palace.
Sebastian, Severus, Anna and pretty much every minister in Max's lordship was obsessed over the cute and beautiful looking baby as with an amiable temper and cute baby noises he had won over the hearts of everyone he came in contact with.
The very same day as he was born, his uncle Sebastian who would not stop crying ever since he found out that Max named him Kremeth, gifted him a small bracelet that was one of Kremeth's prized possessions that helped protect him from all inspection spells under tier6.
It was a very necessary accessory for the baby as although he was not the dreaded primordial vampire, his race could still cause an uproar if revealed and Max did not want that until Kremeth could fend off for himself.
Anna, who was completely obsessed over the baby's milky white skin, gifted him with a royal gem of the light elves that was a 5 billion gold coin worth rare vitality gem that would help in him growing big and strong.
Severus, the Godfather of the baby's mother also brought out the big guns to spoil the baby rotten, as he gifted Kremeth Jr a protective anklet that not only made tingling noises whenever the baby moved it's feet as a cute accessory, but also blocked any lethal attacks incoming towards the child by automatically deploying a protective barrier.
Gifts also poured in from the other ministers and also the rest of the universe, including from 7 official monarchies, which just went to show how much political clout Max really held on a universal stage.
But naturally the best gift of them all was delivered to the dombivili palace anonymously, at what Max believed could only be the work of his brother and sisters in law.
In a large box, the baby was gifted with a total of 101 divine grade items whose combined worth probably exceeded the value of all the gold present in the dombivili royal treasury as some of the artefacts inside were borderline ridiculous.
From divine baby clothes that were made from tier6 spider silk that could swat out tier4 fire spells as if it were nothing, to divine baby toys that could increase the child's strength and provide them with stat points just to play with them were gifted to Kremeth Jr by his true uncle.
Other than clothes and toys that were probably the choice of his sister in law, there was a set of 13 divine weapons that included a bow and arrow set, dagger set, short sword, long sword, curved sword, spear, trishul, axe, scythe, club, sceptre, staff and knuckles.
It was Rudra's way of showing that he supported whatever sort of warrior his nephew wanted to be and gifted him a divine weapon of each kind.
But not only that, Rudra even gifted Kremeth Jr with the extremely valuable treasure the ' Maya Astra ' which he had procured during the Dimensional War.
Just like how Rudra had learnt everything that the Indra-Astra had to offer after using it for a while, he had also learnt all the secrets of the Maya-Astra and no longer needed to rely on the artefact to cast the spells.
Hence, in a generous move he gifted it to his nephew in hopes that he would one day put it to good use.
It was absolutely ridiculous as to how much wealth the kid owned at age 0, but it seemed to be just another perk of being born a Rajput.
