Chapter 168: Guardians of the Divine Castles
As the castles of Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin began to take shape, Sung Jin-Woo and Sung Su-Ho, both understanding the importance of ensuring their children's realms remained safe and orderly, crafted special guardians and servants to assist them. These divine creations would be entrusted with the duty of maintaining their castles and protecting their domains from any intruders or threats.

1. The Butler and Assistants for Sung Ye-Rin
Sung Jin-Woo, God of Shadows and Life, knowing the importance of elegance and precision, fashioned a butler and his three assistants for his granddaughter, Sung Ye-Rin. The butler and assistants were sculpted from the rarest of ores — silver ore, symbolizing purity and grace. These beings were not simply servants but embodiments of Sung Ye-Rin's lineage and legacy, and they were bound to serve her with absolute loyalty and precision.
Appearance:
The butler had a refined, dignified appearance, with elegant armor forged from silver, engraved with intricate patterns that shone brightly with the soft light of the moon. His eyes were pools of shimmering silver, reflecting the beauty of the realm he was bound to protect. His attire was impeccably crafted, with flowing silver robes that allowed him to move silently, like a shadow. His assistants, equally elegant, were smaller in stature but equally skilled in their duties. They had smaller, more specialized pieces of silver armor, each designed for particular tasks — from organizing the castle's treasures to preparing the finest meals for their mistress.
Their tasks were many: maintaining the tranquility of Lunaris Citadel, ensuring that the celestial gardens flourished, assisting with diplomacy, and most importantly, keeping the castle safe from any unforeseen danger. The butler was the leader of the group, while the assistants handled more specific duties, such as overseeing the moonstone forges and monitoring the celestial magic that protected the castle.

2. The Butler and Assistants for Sung Ye-Jun
Sung Su-Ho, Absolute Dragonic Being, with his deep understanding of fire and strength, crafted a butler and his three assistants from dark crimson obsidian ore for his son, Sung Ye-Jun. These beings were made from the very essence of the dragon's might, symbolizing power, resilience, and strength. Unlike Sung Ye-Rin's silver creations, these guardians were more imposing and fiercely protective, perfectly reflecting the essence of Sung Ye-Jun's dragon form.
Appearance:
The butler was a towering figure, forged from dark crimson obsidian that shimmered with an inner fire. His body was covered in armor that seemed to be made from molten rock, constantly shifting and pulsating with energy. His eyes glowed with an intense crimson light, a reflection of the fire that burned within him. The assistants, smaller in size but equally formidable, were crafted to serve as both warriors and caretakers of the castle. Their armor had sharper, more angular designs, reminiscent of draconic features, with crimson flames licking at the edges of their attire.
These guardians had a singular purpose: to ensure that Inferna Draconis remained an impenetrable fortress. The butler led his assistants with a sense of duty, ensuring that the castle's defenses were always active, and that its fires burned eternal. The assistants maintained the internal and external areas of the castle, ensuring that every inch of the fortress was well-kept and ready for battle.

3. The Castle Guardians
To further ensure the safety of the two castles, Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin each had eight Castle Guardians — four placed outside their castles and four within. These Castle Guardians were divine beings forged from celestial materials, designed to defend their respective castles from any external or internal threats.
External Guardians:
The external guardians were massive, towering statues of pure divine essence, their forms carved to resemble ancient dragon warriors and celestial knights. They stood at the gates of the castles, watching over the realms with unwavering vigilance. Each guardian had immense power, capable of reshaping the landscape with a mere gesture, ensuring that no intruder could breach the castle's walls without a fight.
Internal Guardians:
The internal guardians were more intricate, designed to blend in with the interior of the castles. These guardians patrolled the inner chambers, ensuring the sanctity and security of the castles' most sacred rooms. They were capable of using both offensive and defensive magic, protecting the castle from any spiritual or magical intrusion.

4. The Statues-Golems as Standby Guardians
Lastly, each castle was bestowed with 42 statues-golems as standby guardians. These statues, once dormant, could be activated with a command from either Sung Ye-Jun or Sung Ye-Rin or any member of the Divine Triad. The statues were forged from the finest divine materials — celestial stones, obsidian, and moonstone — and were infused with the spirits of ancient guardians, capable of transforming into massive, powerful golems.
Each statue-golem was imbued with powerful magic, granting it the ability to withstand even the fiercest of attacks. These golems served as the last line of defense for both castles, able to take on any number of enemies with their sheer strength and invulnerability.

With the arrival of these divine servants, guardians, and statues-golems, the castles of Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin were fortified beyond any threat. The castles stood as bastions of power, grace, and strength, ready to uphold the will of the Divine Triad and ensure that their reign would last for millennia to come. Each creation, from the butlers and assistants to the statues-golems, was a reflection of the divine legacy passed down through the Sung Dynasty, a dynasty that now stood at the forefront of the multiverse.
