Another chapter and I'm trying to tone the training chapter. I hope you guys enjoy this day chapter.
_______________________________
Few hours have passed since I had told my lovers about the truth of my origin. They asked many all sorts of things about my world and replied honestly but our conversations had come to end as Charlotte needed to go back to her squad with sapphire and Rebecca needed to go to work despite telling her she doesn't need to.
I was currently alone within my room as the doctor had already check my vitality and told me that I just needed to rest then I could return to the base.
Charlotte already told her report, so I didn't need to meet the wizard king today. I stood up from my bed and could feel the imbalance of my body as the muscle ache in pain. The sensation was not physical but spiritual as my soul and mana were overused resulting in some of my soul cracking but thankfully I was able to heal it thanks to my [soul creation].
"Cereza how are you with my soul repair?"
["Its currently 60% repaired as some area are severely damaged, you were extremely lucky not dying at that moment"]
"What can I say I'm The King of humanity!"
["More like The king of plot armor"]
"ha ha ha funny…anyways can I used my skills?"
["Yes you can but it still wouldn't be it's fullest power and become downgraded."]
"It's fine, I could always train rather quickly. Now then!"
Suddenly a portal opens revealing a vast beautiful lake as it reflects the azure sky while being surrounded by verdant grass and tall trees whose leaves dances with the wind. This was [Midgard] the first inner world from the [Nine realms of Yggdrasil] skill.
I step inside the portal and was greeted by a fresh breeze that cleanses my lungs with unique fragrant. It was silent as I was the only one who was on this vast plain, I was planning to stay in this place until I get at least 80% of my full strength and try to strengthen my army.
My moment of bliss was interrupted by the sudden screaming of a female voice, I turn to see the enormous bird whose wingspan created a hurricane of wind yet it did not push me this time.
"Human release me this instance or else I shall obliterate your flesh!"
This was of course the woman I fought that resulted in crippling me. She was in her bird form yet she had an omega symbol on her forehead. This was my slave mark.
"Are you a fool or have our battle resulted crippling your mind into an insignificant creature!?"
"Insignificant! You human dare call this empress insignificant!"
She suddenly tried to attack me but it was in vain as she screams in pain because of her slave mark, furthermore, she currently couldn't exert her power and only her physical one.
"AHH!!!"
"Enough your futile attempt and accept thy fate."
"I'd rather die than serve a weak human!"
"Ha suit thyself but this one shall ask thee a question."
"Even if you defile my body I will never back down!"
'Jeez is all of the cultivator this prideful? I couldn't help but question the "sever your attachment crap" yet they really attach in their pride huh?"
"What are you thinking human!"
"Nothing, now then I want you to tell me everything you know."
"D-dammit….ahh!!"
She tried her best to resist my slave mark it was futile as it was no ordinary slave mark. After a few attempts, she finally gave in and told everything.
According to her, she was from the realm [Myriad saint] and she rules ten thousand planets with her empire the [Great Ashura king]. The woman was part of the top ten strongest within those realms and the top one was from the human race.
She told me that one of her clansmen had discovered a powerful crystal that contains the purest element in the whole realm, which was the [Origin fragment]. What surprises me was that the woman was crippled when she fought me, making her rank lower than it should be.
Her rank should have been a spiritual ancestor but was crippled when she was forced to escape from another clan because someone had tipped the others and it end up in a bloodbath. She was extremely fortunate or unfortunate that she managed to arrive here alive thanks to the fragment but was distraught that she lost it.
I pity her for being met with misfortunes but I couldn't care less about her clansmen as they should have seen it coming. If I was her I should have let the other clan fight over the fragment while the other clan is extremely weakened then I would seize the fragment killing dozen of birds with one stone.
They were blinded by the greed of power that they didn't plan ahead. Perhaps the one who tip the other clan, plans to steal it but ended up empty-handed as this woman escape.
"Last question, what's your name woman?"
"Huh, this magnificence empress is called Zihao Yu!"
"Sure…."
Since I already got everything I needed from her, I began to focus on other things.
"Cereza can I used the [Time manipulation] in this place?"
["Of course darling but that depends on your control."]
"What is this creature!?"
"This 'creature' is my lover Cereza."
I released my bloodlust at Yu and made her sweat as for some reason my bloodlust was much more powerful than before. I could guess that it from that dream.
"Tch this human dare make me shiver! The audacity!"
"….I'll just be going to ignore her muttering."
I began to used my skill to change the time here and the outside like the hyperbolic time chamber. After trying multiple times my max was 1:30 day time difference, a day outside is a month here which was enough for me to adapt.
I began to test my physical prowess and the result was still the same as before I got the other skill, I was please enough that nothing happened to my physical body.
I then test my magical power and the result was shocking as I couldn't fully control my magic molding. My magic was wild rejecting my will and not doing what I wanted it to do. I attempted to summon my shadow army but to no avail.
"Hahaha serve you right for fighting this empress."
"I had Enough your mumbling, this one shall punish you."
"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!"
Gradually her enormous body became small and small becoming her human form. She was shocked that her form forcibly changed then her gaze shifted to me.
"Don't you dare come near me!"
"I don't need to."
I then used [mandala] then raise my hand and.
SLAP!
"Ahh!! You fiend!!"
"Shut up!"
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
I proceeded to slap her ass until it became red as her scarlet hair. She was extremely mad that her face also went red.
"B-Bastard! You m-men are fiend that defile a woman's body! Argh!"
Without her power, she was completely hopeless. In the end, she ended up fainting from all the punishment I gave.
"Now then let us what's my new crown looks like"
I began to summon the crown that I gain from that strange dream. Gradually a white halo-like crown floated around my head. I used appraisal to see it's power.
[The crown of the Great sage.
The crown wore by a mysterious and powerful being that could destroy countless worlds with a single blade slash. It is one of the heavenly artifacts created by the [True gods] by sacrificing its life to create it.
Affects: the user would have unfathomable comprehension and clarity when worn and could defeat anyone one major realm above them. Below their power would be in the user's full control. ]
This was an extremely powerful artifact a is could already see and understand everything as if I was using my [mind palace] and [Parallel thought processing].
I could understand everything and begin to use my magic again, the result was astonishing as I didn't even need to mold it. My shadow just instantly changes into the things I thought.
After trying different things I found myself started to feel a piercing headache. The crown slowly shrunk down, crushing my skull. I immediately unsummon it and vanished in thin air.
"Damn that was painful…I need more control over that crown. Now then.."
I began to test the new abilities that I bought from the shop. My [Seven elements of creation] was magic that allows controlling Fire, lightning, water, Ice, wind, Earth, and metal. It does not only create the element but also manipulate it like an avatar.
After testing it, I began using my [Abyssal Nidhogg bloodline] my body gradually grew in size and dark scales started to appear. I saw Yu woke up and her gaze widen as saw my changing body.
"What are you really!! A human should not able to change their form!!"
I did not respond as I was too busy with my changing body. A minute passed as my form was fully shown. My body was elongated like an eastern dragon but had dark obsidian scales that released misty smoke.
This was my full [Dragon form] and my power increase 100x than my base form or my Dragonoid form which could increase by 50x. I tried using my dragon breath and…
BOOM!!
It destroyed miles of lands beyond the horizon. It shows that I could have defeated the woman in many ways but the risk of affecting the villagers held me back.
"Hey, this empress is asking you!!"
"Silent woman, you do not have the right to ask questions."
She couldn't respond as the slave mark had affected her. I began to change back into my human form as I needed to train to regain my true power.
"This will take me a week or so…"
_______________________________
It's been a week or so and I was not only able to regain my power but also increase everything. I manage to incorporate the [Seven elements of creation] with other fighting styles that I called [The Great Sage Emperor Art].
This ended up fusing them in my stat which led to increasing the overall control. My control over the crown had proven much more difficult than imagine as it wasn't part of my body that it didn't affect by the adaptability of my body. It was like my [robe of the sage] a sentient object that was extremely stubborn.
As for my shadow army, I manage to make all of them a general rank while igriss and co was marshal rank because I added soul into them making them more alive than before.
I also created bellion and because I'm not restricted like jin woo I created the monarch adding mana core and power into them. It was rather easy and cheap as had so many SP.
When I was doing all of this, Yu had grown a bit with my presence slowly showing restraint from her tone. I don't know if this was real trust or a plan to gain my trust for now I'll see.
"Let us go back."
A hundred thousand of shadow was behind me while the monarch and my general was in front of them. All of them were absorbed into my shadows.
I plan to come back here when I return to the base. I wasn't able to create houses for people to live in when I created my kingdom but I didn't have to worry as it's still from the future.
