Chapter 357. Lightning Descends, the Empress' Retaliation. (Patreon)

After a sigh, the silence was broken by an elegant and beautiful voice. "Finally, I'm back~."

Andrea said with pure disbelief, "She- That body. No way she materialized here."

Yasenia didn't know, but she felt her heart pounding excitedly.

Although she didn't show it, the moment she realized they weren't in the Sky Continent, Yasenia's heart became heavy, thinking she wouldn't be able to see her most loved person for much longer.

Nevertheless, the perfect female figure of the floating woman, that long black hair that reached below her perfect soft butt, and that pair of red eyes confirmed everything she needed to know.

The floating naked woman was Tatyana, without a doubt!

Yasenia felt so excited that her four limbs were tapping the ground as her tail wagged very quickly. The others couldn't help but find Yasenia's actions endearing; she really looked like a puppy that saw its owner and wanted to go forward but couldn't.

Hmm... Maybe that's a bad way to put it, but she really looked cute like that.

Nevertheless, the powerful [World Ending Heavenly Lightning] 's presence still deterred the dragoness enough from pouncing on the gorgeous woman.

However, Valeria's words made Yasenia's excitement stop. "Yasenia, I don't want to cut your happiness short, but that body is very weak to be Tatyana's. I can sense that although its current strength is tremendously high, its actual strength is much lower."

Yasenia wanted to refute and insist that it was indeed Tatyana, but when she focused, she could feel that the body was, as Valeria stated, in the first level of the Unification Realm. 'W-What's wrong?'

*RUMBLE!*

The thundering sound created by lightning burst out, stealing their attention from the naked Tatyana.

The Death Empress frowned and looked to the sky. When she saw the kilometric dragon made out of [World Ending Heavenly Lightning], she snorted. "What, you don't like my presence here? Too bad, if you think you can stop me, you are really delusional. I know that releasing that dragon to kill this body will hurt you badly, so you better stop it before it is too late, Heavens."

*ROAR!*

The floating dragon suddenly roared, carrying a powerful wrath with it.

Tatyana's red eyes turned cold.

She waved her hand and created a beautiful black dress with a generous cleavage showing off her perfectly sized and mouthwatering breasts and curves.

As the storm raged, Tatyana's voice sounded regal and imposing. "I won't repeat myself. Heavens, retreat. You can't win against me."

Our girls below gulped. The image was truly awe-inspiring.

The dragon that could literally destroy a world was being scolded by some with the bearing of an Empress.

The picture really fueled their drive to become strong enough to look like her one day.

Although they knew that Tatyana was not normal and had some problems, especially in the mental area, that didn't mean they didn't respect her. Quite the opposite.

Her strength, resources, intelligence, and experience were things our girls looked up to and wanted to one day be able to match.

They looked at the dragon in the sky, and as expected, the Heavens didn't retreat. With the resonant sound of a thousand claps of thunder, the dragon began its descent.

Its aura was gigantic and made our girls feel as if a mountain was pressing on their shoulders, making their legs bend involuntarily. The momentum it carried seemed able to sink islands and continents or destroy worlds as it approached the small creature below it.

Tatyana's face lost any expression as her eyes shone with a bloody light. "You left me with no choice."

Then, time seemed to slow down as Tatyana chanted aloud, her voice echoing louder than any thunderclap!

"The world, my enemy." All the death aura previously gathered spiraled behind Tatyana.

"Thus, I throw my worldly identity." Tatyana's aura became elusive as if she had really cut her connection with Fate.

"Thus, I gain Hegemony." The Death aura gathered into a red sphere as big as the descending dragon.

"I rebel and challenge the Heavens!" The red aura was stained by a black color, slowly taking the shape of a weapon.

"With my defiance, I'll gain serenity." The turbulent weather around Tatyana stopped, the time around Tatyana stopped, and the World around Tatyana stopped.

Even then, Yasenia and the others could still see Tatyana moving, as if everything had fallen into her control.

Then, the red sphere behind Tatyana unfolded and transformed.

In what seemed an instant, a Grim Reaper as big as the descending dragon manifested. It had a long red robe that covered its whole body and held a bulky black scythe as big as himself.

With its summoning, an eerie cackle filled the surroundings.

Mirrory's and Valeria's expressions changed at once. 'True aura? Impossible! She should only be able to manifest it after reaching the half-step Demigoddess realm! This must be another skill...'

However, Tatyana's final chant made them realize the Death Empress was not a cultivator measured by common sense.

"[True Aura Manifestation: Heaven's Demise]!"

With an upward hand motion, the red reaper moved.

With extreme ease, it flew upward and swung its black scythe in a rising circular motion. Then, that black scythe moved at extreme speed, leaving a black trail wherever it passed as space appeared to be ripped open by its strength.

*SLASH!*

Yasenia's and the other's expressions changed as the Lightning dragon, clouds, and the sky was literally sliced into two by an immeasurable red line.

Next, an inhuman sound filled the whole world as the sky cracked in many places.

Even a commoner would be able to tell that it was a scream full of pain.

Valeria said with a stutter. "S-She made the Heavens of this World scream in pain."

Their mouths fell open. 'She did what!?'

Tatyana waved her sleeve and commanded with a regal tone. "Disperse."

Before their shock-filled eyes, everything in the sky was swept away by an uncontrollable force, showing a clear night sky one more time and dispersing everything else.

It was as if the absurd events that just happened had never occurred.

Nevertheless, the dead forest and the floating Tatyana made it clear enough that they didn't imagine all of that.

Tatyana sighed and thought. 'Well, there goes most of the strength I accumulated for emergencies. What a bother. Why were the Heavens so whiny? I didn't want to hurt anything. Now I only have Unification Realm strength... Moreover, I was forced to hurt the Heavens of this World. Well, whatever, it's not like they can do something now that I'm here in flesh and bones!'

Tatyana turned her head from the clear sky and looked toward the people gathered there. A smirk spread on her lips as she saw the stunned look of her little treasure. 'Her dragon form is so cute~. Hmm, I want to cuddle a lot with her... Hm?'

Tatyana frowned, feeling something strange with her soul. However, she couldn't put her finger around it. 'I'll have to ask if something important happened. Anyway, let's land and greet her; she must miss me after three months~.'

With that in mind, Tatyana silently floated down toward Yasenia's group with a smile.

Angel's eyes almost took a heart shape after her show of strength. "So cool~." The others couldn't deny it even if they wanted.

Tatyana landed before the dazed dragoness and looked at her with a tender smile. "I've missed you, little treasure."

That sentence was like a switch flipped inside Yasenia as she jumped toward Tatyana, not caring about any more details.

Yasenia could feel that this person was indeed her mother, and she wanted to fall into her mother's arms and be pampered.

Emotions flooded the dragoness as she tackled Tatyana to the ground, her eyes becoming misty. "Mom, I missed you!"

Tatyana hugged the scaly creature above her, not caring at all about the changes she already knew about her daughter. Not only did she not mind, but she was also happy about them. Her dear daughter had finally been freed from shackles and now was walking her own path.

As her mother, how could Tatyana not feel happy that her dearest has escaped the Fate predestined by the Heavens? That meant that Yasenia would reach as far as her talent, wit, and strength carried her.

Moreover, Yasenia was her little treasure, and that wouldn't change no matter what shape or form she took.

Tatyana's heart could beat faster because she was attracted to Yasenia's beautiful soul. The body that held the soul was a container that she would love as long as it was her dear daughter's.

The others tactfully waited as the two exchanged greetings, and Tatyana slowly calmed down the excited dragoness.

Yasenia rubbed her body on Tatyana, licked her, spread her scent all over Tatyana, used her large wings to cocoon her, and coiled her tail around her without showing any kind of restraint.

Her show of affection was frantic and full of emotions. "Shh, little treasure. Don't worry. I'm here with you now."

Yasenia licked her mouth, eyes, nose, and ears, and Tatyana chuckled. "Yes, yes, I also love you the most." Then, the red-eyed woman scratched the back of Yasenia's skull and her wings.

Yasenia squinted and purred with delight. Even the girls standing far away could hear her lovely and deep growls of pure happiness.

They couldn't help but look at Tatyana.

This peerless expert was smiling tenderly, laughing heartily, and playing around with the dragoness. When a person such as Tatyana showed real joyful emotions, it gave her a charm that was hard to ignore.

It made the people looking want to have those smiles, tender words, and pampering caresses directed at them. As if they would have everything in the world as long as this person smiled genuinely at them.

It really looked as if the previous Cultivation Monster that made the Heavens scream in pain had disappeared, leaving behind a very loving and caring mother.

Slowly, Yasenia's frantic show of affection slowed down to tender and soft movements.

They really wanted to tell them that they should move and leave because people might be approaching soon. However, who could interrupt this meeting?

Even a normal person would be able to feel how emotional Yasenia was while cuddling with Tatyana.

Kali looked at Valeria and whispered. "Valeria, can you look for trouble? I don't want to interrupt them unless it is urgent."

Valeria nodded and was about to sit cross-legged when Tatyana's voice interrupted. "You don't have to. Let's move."

They looked back at them and saw Tatyana lifting the dragoness and moving around. You have to remember that her size was similar to a tiger, so it looked really funny. Some chuckles escaped their mouth, and then they moved to the distance.

Two hours later, many powerful auras approached the place at very high speeds. During the next three hours, a large variety of creatures appeared together with many beast humans.

In total, there were almost one hundred people. However, these individuals had extremely profound strength.

One of them, a middle-aged man with luxurious robes and golden Dragon Horns, asked aloud. "What happened here?

A silver-feathered harpy snorted and said. "What kind of stupid question is that? It is clear that someone went through tribulation, and when fighting back, it even hurt the Heavens!"

A golden-winged garuda, the male part of the Harpy population, said. "The real question is, where is the expert that made this event? Did they perish when making that attack?"

A wolf-man with black ears and a tail said. "It's not impossible. Look at the amount of Death energy in the surroundings. I've never seen something like this. Only the death of a powerful creature can create something like this."

One old man in white stepped forward and said. "I propose to make a stop in our small altercations until we know what happened. We, the nine sects, will step forward to be the first to agree."

Another old man with a black robe snorted. "Remember that you can't speak for all of us. However, I still agree with you."

The Dragon Horned man said solemnly. "The three Empires will also abide by this treaty."

The harpy and the garuda looked around, and many people nodded toward them. Then, the silver-winged harpy said. "We, the thirty-three clans, also agree."

With that, all of the powerhouses gathered in that place shot around, scanning the surroundings for the tracks of someone. However, our girls were already too far away.
