"Humanity finally has another King!!!"
Watching the figure high in the sky, like a "God", the Gray Wizard, Gandalf, sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Mike's current achievements, aside from not personally killing Sauron, are no less than those of Isildur, the Human King of the Second Age.
And after this battle, Mordor's forces have been severely weakened, and Middle-earth will enjoy a long period of peace thereafter.
"Yes, he is truly an extraordinary young man. Having him here is a blessing for all of us..." Elven King Thranduil also praised.
This Sinda King, to be precise, was not skilled in battle, as he couldn't even defeat Smaug, the evil dragon.
Now, with Mike, a strong ally, as a neighbor stationed at Lonely Mountain, Thranduil felt incredibly relieved.
Then, as Mike slowly descended after retracting his flame power, Gandalf, Thranduil, Aragorn, and others all enthusiastically gathered to welcome him.
The surrounding Human warriors, Elves warriors, and even the Dwarves warriors from Iron Hills, all looked with eager eyes at the most dazzling Human in the crowd.
Among them was no lack of admiration...
"Have all those invading Orc armies been eliminated by you?" Gandalf looked at Mike after he landed, asking the question that concerned everyone.
"More or less. At most, a few very lucky Orcs might have escaped the calamity," Mike replied calmly.
His flame domain had only covered about ten kilometers, so if any of the scattered Orc army ran fast enough, they might have saved their lives.
"Only a few out of tens of thousands of Orcs could survive?" The situation was even better than Gandalf had imagined, and he exclaimed again, "It seems we still underestimated you. If Queen Galadriel hadn't intervened at Dol Guldur last time, perhaps you could have directly eliminated Sauron."
Of course, Queen Galadriel couldn't be blamed for being meddlesome that time, as no one could have imagined Mike's abilities would be far stronger than anticipated.
In terms of destructive power alone, he had already surpassed the Dark Lord.
"Perhaps, who knows," Mike smiled, not giving a definite answer.
After all, his goal had always been to collect as much Power Of Faith as possible. If he defeated the final boss in one go, how could he demonstrate his importance?
"Mike, I've already decided. I choose to take back the Arkenstone and lead the Dwarves to develop in Moria." Amidst the praises, Thorin, with an unreadable expression, came before Mike.
Although Mike was present in this battle, it was still very brutal.
Especially the Dwarves from Iron Hills, who launched several charges, suffered a reduction of almost more than a third of their forces.
Bard's River Valley Kingdom Guard also lost more than a dozen men. Only the Lonely Mountain Ranger team and Elves warriors, with their excellent equipment and strict discipline, did not suffer any casualties.
This also made Thorin see the gap between himself and Mike, and he wisely chose to yield.
"I will give you the Arkenstone later," Mike approved Thorin's choice and then said, "But before that, let's all rest in Lonely Mountain Castle first."
The Dwarves contributed a lot to this great war, so Mike naturally wouldn't be so heartless as to immediately drive them away.
Next, it was time for everyone to enjoy the victory.
As Mike generously distributed gold coins, the residents of the River Valley Kingdom sent large amounts of meat to Lonely Mountain, supplemented by fruits, vegetables, and fine wine brought by the Sinda Elves.
A lively celebration feast lasted for three days and three nights.
During this time, Thorin, who had lowered his stance, even sat and drank with Elven King Thranduil for a while.
It seemed that the two races were showing signs of reconciliation.
In the following days, after everyone had rested well, with the help of the Dwarves and the River Valley Kingdom people, the battlefield in front of Lonely Mountain was cleaned up.
The Orcs' remaining half-armor and weapons, while of no value to Mike, were a considerable income for the newly established River Valley Kingdom and the Dwarves who needed resources.
Another week passed, and Thorin, who had received the Arkenstone, led the Dwarves away from Lonely Mountain, heading to Moria to live as agreed.
On the other side, Dáin, the Iron Hills Dwarf King, also led his clansmen back to Iron Hills, preparing to join Thorin.
According to the Arkenstone agreement, the other six Dwarf clans would gradually be summoned by Thorin to develop in Moria.
Thus, another month passed.
During this time, Mike's "feat" at Lonely Mountain was spread throughout Middle-earth by the Elves Bards and rangers.
Mike thus solidified his title as the "Human King," harvesting waves of Power Of Faith.
Finally, one day, more than a month later, his life level once again made a leap.

Having reached the Creation Level, Mike now possessed an Immortal Body, as eternal as the heavens and earth, immortal and indestructible.
At the same time, he also gained the ability to create simple life forms, although his current ability would consume a lot of energy.
"Has your strength improved recently?" Gandalf, who was preparing to bid farewell and leave Lonely Mountain that day, asked the question in his heart.
Mike now had a sense of returning to simplicity. Ordinary people would only see him as a handsome, unremarkable ordinary person.
But Gandalf, the Gray Wizard who had seen Iluvatar, the Creator God, felt a similar aura from Mike.
This discovery even startled Gandalf himself.
"Recently, I've had some insights, and my strength has indeed improved a little bit." Mike smiled and made a gesture of a finger-tip universe.
The purpose of this dimension-crossing journey had been largely achieved, making him feel very relaxed at this moment.
"Well, no matter what, your strength improvement is a good thing for Middle-earth." Gandalf saw that Mike didn't want to talk much about this issue and didn't delve deeper, then said, "I came to say goodbye to you. Lonely Mountain here has stabilized, so I should go to other places to wander around."
Since the great battle a month ago, Mordor's dark forces had been severely weakened, and the Orcs no longer dared to approach within a hundred miles of Lonely Mountain.
This made the Lonely Mountain area the safest place in Middle-earth today.
Gandalf, who had always been dedicated to fighting the dark forces, naturally had no need to stay here any longer.
He was planning to first visit Tom in the Old Forest, then visit Queen Galadriel in the Golden Forest.
Finally, he would likely go to the Northern Highlands, as there were still many evil creatures like Trolls and Giant Spiders remaining there.
"Alright, I wish you a safe journey," Mike roughly knew the Wizard's future plans, but Mike, who also wanted to return to his own world, did not try to keep the other party or go with him.
"Then, see you next time," Gandalf looked deeply at Mike again, then turned and left without delay.
