Heaven, Earth, Me

Yasenia felt placid as they traveled toward the World Lord’s manor. There was not a single ripple in her heart, which was strange. The dragoness had not lost her memories, so she clearly remembered that her love for her dears must be incomparable to everything. ‘And yet… when I look at them, I feel nothing.’

Tatyana and the others had explained to her that she had received heavy soul damage, leading to the current situation. ‘It is plausible.’ She trusted them because she trusted her memories. However, a hint of confusion flickered in her mind. ‘Are my memories even true? What if what I think is real has been implanted in me…? I mean, they are too relaxed around me even when I’ve lost all feelings. Shouldn’t they feel hurt? Sigh… so complicated.’

Her intelligence made it so that she looked at the situation from all angles. She was certain that they were not, and such a thought was nothing but fleeting. Still, it passed through her mind for a little while. After all, regardless of how much she wanted to doubt, every single signal pointed at their words being the truth. Doubting was not wrong, but ignoring clear signs was also not a clever thing to do. ‘Well… time will tell if what they said is correct. More importantly, it seems that I have broken through into the peak of the fifth realm.’

She analyzed her strength for a little while and observed how the [Black Hole Energy Core] constantly absorbed the energy. “I see.” She muttered rather flatly. Then, she called out loud. “Soluna.”

The Contracted spirit appeared in front of her with a tired face. “Yes, Yasenia?”

Looking at the contracted spirit, Yasenia nodded and asked aloofly. “How are you feeling?”

Soluna blinked twice and rubbed her eyes, clearing the sleepiness away. Then, she looked at Yasenia’s cold face with interest. “Huh. You’ve hurt your soul this much, eh?” Soluna harrumphed. “This will teach you not to be so reckless! If it weren't because we all worked together with Celestial Energy Star, you’d be dead!”

Hearing the scolding, Yasenia nodded and accepted it. “You are right.”

Soluna was stumped. “Even if you admit it, with that iceberg face you currently have, it feels that you are mocking me.” 

Yasenia said seriously. “I am not mocking you.”

Soluna’s eyebrow twitched. “So strange… I never realized how awkward apologies sound when speaking without feelings. Even if they are true, they feel fake.”

Yasenia hummed. “I see.”

This answer left the spirit speechless for a few seconds. Then, she sighed and commented. “Well, to answer all those questions that are roaming your mind. Yes, the energy purity is not only good for you, but we, the treasures, are benefiting big time. Even before you’ve reached the Sixth Realm, Dramel and Draheart are showing signs of a breakthrough. The purity of your energy is so ridiculous that I have already reached the peak of the fifth realm myself!”

Yasenia nodded. “That’s good.”

Ignoring the blockhead dragon’s insipid response, Soluna commented. “Speaking of that, your current strength should be terrifying. So, when fighting against people, you should be careful.”

Yasenia tilted her head. “Why? If they offend me, I’ll just kill them.”

“Offend you?” Soluna asked, speechless. “How can they offend a blockhead like you?”

Yasenia blinked and answered. “I don’t know.”

“IT WAS NOT AN ACTUAL QUESTION!”

Soluna pointed at Yasenia’s nose and then sighed. “Well, whatever. I’ll just tell you when you are going overboard. You must listen when I tell you to stop, okay?”

Yasenia nodded. “Okay.” Then, she added. “However, I have not lost my memories. I know how to deal with trouble.”

“That’s the problem!” Soluna complained, poking at one of Yasenia’s breasts. “You know how to solve problems far too well! Without emotions to stop your problem-solving, this entire world might end in disaster! Karmic ties are a real thing, and destroying a world with so many mortals and barely any cultivators will come back biting you in that pretty big ass that you have!”

Yasenia hummed. “Noted. This world doesn’t have a Heaven, though. Does it even matter if it is destroyed?”

Soluna nodded. “It does! As I said, karmic ties! Don’t underestimate them; many peerless experts thought of themselves as invincible until karma caught them lacking!” 

Yasenia searched her memories and found something odd. She asked Soluna, wanting to clarify this doubt. “Why are you so knowledgeable all of a sudden? Haven’t you always been a pampered and adorable spirit?”

Soluna rolled her exotic Moon and Sun pupiled eyes and asked. “Have you forgotten that I have several thousand years behind my back and that I was the princess of an entire World? I naturally learned many things during all those years.” 

“Fair enough.” Yasenia nodded and then looked toward the side. “We are here.” 

Tatyana approached with a smile and answered. “Indeed. We are already here. What’s your plan?”

“Make them speak all we need to know,” Yasenia answered indifferently. 

Tatyana raised her eyebrow and chuckled. “Sure. We’ll go with that. We are prepared, Little Treasure.”

Yasenia nodded. “Then, let’s go.”

The World Lord had been attentive, so there was a large group of armored vehicles and other weapons pointed at the location where they landed. Yasenia looked around and asked. “Are any of their weapons threatening to you? I feel no threat.”

The girls shook their heads, and Evelyn answered. “I think that only those main cannons of the spatial ships can damage us or be a threat to us. They are also very fast, approaching light-speed.”

“Fast indeed,” Yasenia asked. “What happens if such a cannon slams against this world?”

Evelyn looked at Alaia since the maids had done some calculations. Alaia answered faithfully. “Young Miss, the cannon would create a semi-cataclysmic event. The strike would be powerful enough to chain-erupt most volcanoes in the world and create world quakes. While it won’t end all life on the planet, around ninety-five percent of all life would be erased.”

Yasenia listened and hummed. “A World without a heaven is too fragile.”

Then, Yasenia jumped down with the rest. The second Yasenia appeared, all the voices from the other side suddenly stopped. 

“Hm? Delta, why are you not answering? Continue to describe the situation!”

However, that man who was using binoculars to look in the distance had basically turned into stone. Yasenia’s beauty was not much higher than the other girls. However, while the others were peerlessly beautiful, like goddesses that one didn’t dare touch or sully, Yasenia’s charm was carnal and soul-snaring.

A single look could make almost anyone feel the heat rising in their core, and a desire to possess her would appear in their heart. 

Yasenia walked forward without caring about anything, and nothing seemed to move other than her and the girls. It was as if Yasenia’s presence had put a pause to everything.

She advanced until reaching the doors that were blocked by two large humanoid mechanic armors. Looking upward at them, she asked aloud, her mellow and attractive voice spreading in the silent area. “I’ve come here to look for your World Lord. Move.”

The pilots in the mecha and everyone else somewhat came out of the spell after she spoke. That frigid and emotionless tone was much too threatening to keep themselves lost in fantasies.

One of the pilots of the giant armored humanoid vehicles pointed a cannon at Yasenia and spoke through the microphone. “Identify yourself. Until now, we’ve been speaking with Tatyana Dravory. Your presence is something we don’t know about.”

Yasenia looked at the circular empty thing pointing at her and asked. “Is that a weapon?”

The humanoid robot pilot answered, quite arrogant. “That’s right. This weapon is-”

However, before he finished his words, the robot disappeared. 

Almost everyone was speechless. They didn’t know what happened. One second, the giant seven-meter robot was there. The next one, there was an empty space.

Yasenia looked at the other robot and spoke again, her face indifferent. “I want to speak with your World Lord. Open the doors.”

The other humanoid robot pilot looked between the place where his companion was and Yasenia and asked aggressively, his heart beating quickly. “Y-You! What did you do!? Where is my companion!?”

Yasenia looked at the giant robot and answered as lightly as if someone was speaking about the weather. “I evaporated him and that pile of metal. Now that I’ve answered, will you move or will you get evaporated as well? I can walk inside without your permission, but I am trying to be courteous since this person seems important.”

The girls started sweating coldly. While the rest could not see it clearly, our girls caught what happened. Yasenia had not used any technique. Instead, she concentrated her spiritual pressure and blasted it against the mecha. When her spiritual pressure slammed against the mecha, it literally disintegrated. The particles left behind were instantly blown out by Yasenia herself, leaving nothing behind in a time frame that was too short even for our girls.

The mecha pilot was scared to the point that he didn’t know what to do. However, as Yasenia’s patience started to run low and she was about to move again, a voice spread outside from the side of the gates. “Let them enter.”

Yasenia focused and saw a strange black panel with wires and other items inside. She stepped forward, disappearing and appearing by the panel's side in less than an instant. “Hm. You can talk through this device. What an odd thing.”

While she was not really curious, this was something that she didn’t know anything about, making her want to take a look. “Hahaha, this is called a speaker. Well, there are many more functions to this small panel, but the one I am using now is that one. Anyway, you can enter, but please, don’t kill my people.”

The dragoness spoke indifferently. “As long as they don’t bother me, I will not lower myself enough to kill mortals.”

She ignored the black panel and walked forward. The pilot blurted. “The gate-”

BANG!

“Ah.”

With the gate now gone, the girls walked behind Yasenia. They couldn’t help but throw glances at the cold and domineering dragoness. ‘So cool~.’

While they were swooning, Yasenia spread her spiritual sense and frowned. “Two kilometers until the entrance? Let’s appear there.”

Yasenia took a step forward and used her top speed, instantly reaching that location. The rest of the girls followed closely. 

The servants who were working in the manor almost had heart attacks when they appeared out of nowhere. Still, being professional, the head steward bowed and welcomed them. “The World Lord Manor is delighted to take your group in. We will-”

“Enough.” Yasenia stopped him and looked down at him coldly. “Lead me to the World Lord. I don’t have time to chat.”

Everyone started sweating coldly. How could there be someone who spoke to the World Lord in this manner? Did she not want her own life anymore? However, they knew that this person was not someone they could offend. After all, she popped one of the gate guards out of existence, and the World Lord didn’t get angry. For them, Velamir would care even less.
