Heaven, Earth, Me

The Word Lord and everyone in his room were stunned. When the group arrived, they were prepared to welcome a group of beauties. The World Lord’s assistant had warned them not to be disrespectful. Still, no one was expecting an unrealistic being such as Yasenia to appear.

Even the right-hand woman of the World Lord, usually arrogant and confident in her beauty and strength, couldn’t help but feel inferior. A bitter feeling sprouted in her heart. With the other girls, she felt lacking but never by too much. So, while she was annoyed, she didn’t feel a sense of absolute defeat. However, the dragon woman’s beauty could be only described as unparalleled.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she looked sideways toward her lord. Her face twisted slightly when she saw the usually cold-faced man looking on with widened eyes. His eyes were clearly locked onto the woman at the front, failing to react until Yasenia blew one of their guards to fine particles.

The strength of that attack was out of his comprehension, making his face gain a touch of seriousness. He commented, ignoring his earlier infatuation. “She is strong. Can we see what happened with the super slow-motion cameras?”

The right-hand woman’s teeth almost made a cracking sound because of how tightly she was biting down to avoid spewing barbarities. 

Meanwhile, the other subordinates in the room sent the file to Velamir’s computer screen after slowing it down and cutting it. They played it very slowly, frame by frame, and they saw what happened quite choppily. In one frame, the massive metallic humanoid armor was standing perfectly fine. Then, they saw Yasenia looking at it, starting what they could only describe as an “erasure.” During the following frames, the body of the mecha rapidly compressed into nothing, the remnants being blown away by the same force that made it disappear.

Everyone’s hearts cooled down. 

“What was that!?”

“Are you asking what? I would prefer to hear HOW!?”

“This… Isn’t it impossible for this to happen? Those armors were the latest design, solid enough to even stay unscathed after a spaceship's destruction! Only energy cannons can damage them!”

“Not only that. Even the deepest parts of the ocean can’t dent the surface of the Valiant Model V7, and our oceans reach around 15 kilometers deep! This is ridiculous!”

The World Lord looked at the woman by his side and asked. “What do you think about it?”

The woman frowned. “While I can face those mechas easily as well, can My Lord compress them with your Soul Pressure that violently?”

Velamir shook his head. “Impossible. I can flatten them but not… erase them.” His tone was complicated. Clearly, this dragon woman’s strength was unfathomable, perhaps even higher than his.

Knock. Knock.

“My Lord, the guests have arrived.”

Velamir snapped out of his shock and cleared his throat. First, he warned everyone in the room. “Don’t provoke our guests.” Then, not waiting for an answer, he commented loudly. “Come inside.”

The doors opened, and Yasenia appeared in front of everyone. 

Silence. 

When Yasenia appeared, no one could bring themselves to make a single sound as their eyes were fixed on the dragon woman. Her gaze swept everyone icily, showing no kind of recognition for the World Lord’s status. The pressure of her gaze felt like a thousand tons were weighing on their shoulders. 

Then, she lifted her right foot and walked forward, her embroidery shoe making a gentle sound with her step. Behind her, the other girls followed in silence, leaving the stage entirely to Yasenia. 

When Yasenia reached the middle of the room where the guest chairs were located, a frown appeared on her usually indifferent face. When that frown appeared, everyone on the World Lord’s side felt their hearts inexplicably skip a beat. Her charming but cold voice broke the stillness of the room. “Knowing that we would come, and yet you prepared no chairs for beast humans. What is the meaning of this, World Lord? Are you insinuating that only humans are worthy of sitting in front of you?”

Naturally, everyone in the room knew that was not the case. It was probably a simple mistake. However, with Yasenia’s words, a big label was suddenly slammed on Velamir’s head, giving her a complete advantage in the conversation. Usually, a few words would be enough to resolve the “misunderstanding,” but Yasenia was not someone who would allow that to happen.

At first, Velamir wanted to not appear weak in front of Yasenia. Therefore, he had steeled his mind and soul, aiming to show off his soul pressure. However, all that preparation was for naught as the second Yasenia stepped into the room, her sheer presence took over the place.

She was the powerful one in this room. She was the monarch and everyone else, her subjects. Regardless of how much others wanted to lie to themselves, that was the truth. 

Velamir felt strangely anxious when Yasenia asked her question. It was clear that unlike Tatyana and the others, who showed a hint of decorum, Yasenia had come here to act like a tyrant. If he left her to take this advantage, things could turn ugly at any second. Feeling helplessly suppressed by the imperial might of the dragon, he took a few seconds to react and speak. “This…”

However, those seconds of hesitation were what Yasenia wanted, and like a predator who had seen a weakness, she latched onto the neck of her prey. Yasenia cut him off ruthlessly. “Your excuses don’t matter.” She waved her hand, storing all the furniture prepared for them in her ring, and summoned her own set so that they could sit. After sitting down on her chair and pushing her long and gorgeous tail through the hole, she spoke again. “I will forgive it this once, but I don’t want to be disrespected in this manner again.”

This way, the World Lord now “owed” Yasenia due to her “favor.” He could only show an ugly smile and answer. “Thank you very much, Lady Yasenia.” 

The World Lord’s right-hand woman frowned deeply at Yasenia’s attitude, finding it sickeningly disrespectful. Then, when she thought that Velamir would stand up for himself, she heard a weak answer that clearly showed inferiority, making her open her eyes wide. ‘Huh?’

Instead of understanding that Velamir wanted to avoid escalating the situation, anger rushed to her head. She didn’t notice that Kali was moving her fingers, making an odorless and colorless gas hover around her nose. This medicine was one that destabilized emotions and allowed the hidden feelings to come out much easier. 

Yasenia saw the woman about to burst, making her eyes flash coldly. However, before she spoke up, the World Lord grabbed her hand under the table, stopping her. Our girls were slightly surprised, but they didn’t react much other than that. The woman wanted to complain, her head somewhat muddled. Still, her struggle died instantly as Velamir’s hands were soaked in cold sweat. ‘My Lord is… fearful?’ 

Outwardly, he didn’t look much different than usual. However, internally, he was terrified. He had not even caught a glimpse of how Yasenia changed the furniture of the entire room in the blink of an eye. Not only that, he noticed a strange glow in some of Yasenia’s eyes when his right-hand woman was about to speak. His powerful soul strength gave him an edge when analyzing the emotions of those around him, making it much easier to see through people’s intentions. Regardless, Yasenia was still an enigma he could see nothing about. She was like a frosty veil of mystery.

Yasenia didn’t mind that her first plan failed. It was something she planned to have an absolute advantage in the conversation and force them to do as she pleased. Without it, she could have done the same but with a bit of resistance from the opposite party. Therefore, she went straight to the point. 

Usually, she didn’t like pleasantries, and now that she was in her current emotionless state, she disregarded them even more. “I’ve heard from Tatyana that there is some sort of spring event in the near future. I want you to bring us along and give us all your enlightenment manuals. I won’t take a no for an answer.”

Everyone from the World Lord’s side jumped in fright. ‘Arrogant! Does she think that she owns the place or something!? If she steals those manuals, it won’t be just our Lord, but all of them who will fight her! Does she think that she can strut around the place unchallenged because she is slightly stronger than our Lord?’

Adding Kali’s medicine and her disrespectful words, the woman by the World Lord’s side saw red and could not hold it anymore, so she scolded. “Arrogant Vixen! Do you think that you can order a World Lord around as you please!? Know your place before speaking out loud!” 

The World Lord’s face turned slightly pale. ‘W-What has come over her!? She is usually much calmer even if she is arrogant!’

For her to become his right-hand woman, her ability was genuine. Still, this time around, the enemy was just too strong. 

Yasenia turned her gaze toward the woman, her gaze colder than the ice on the Moon. “A mere fourth realm junior dares to speak like this? You should know when to stay silent in your next life.”

She raised her hand slowly as her spiritual pressure burst out violently. Her sublime control allowed her to avoid killing anyone while also making their organs twist painfully under the pressure. Everyone on the opposite side felt the threat of death loom over them as if it were an unavoidable fate. Moreover, the momentum of her aura was suffocating to a degree that even the World Lord felt his breath hitching. ‘W-What is this strength!? I have never felt this… oppressed!’

Seeing her movements, his face contorted slightly as he tried to free himself from Yasenia’s absolute suppression to shout for her to stop. However, he was using all of his will to keep himself from bowing down to Yasenia’s raw aura. A hint of resentment sprouted in his heart. ‘Didn’t I tell her to stay silent!? This useless woman! I’ve been deceived and should’ve sent her ass away a long time ago!’

The second Yasenia was going to strike, Cecile and Soluna grabbed one arm each. Cecile spoke softly first, different from her usual self. “My love, relax. She is ignorant, but she doesn’t deserve death. How about you lower her punishment? At the end of the day, she is just an ignorant junior.”

Solana also spoke softly and coquettishly, wanting to pacify the dragoness. “Right, right! Why would you stain your hands with her filthy blood? Forgive her~, forgive her~.”

Yasenia looked at them and hummed, her aura calming down slightly. “Sure.”

Everyone from the World Lord’s side felt their shoulders relaxing. However, the World Lord saw that Yasenia had not lowered her arm. Before he could react, he saw Yasenia clenching her hand into a fist. 

“AHHH!!!!”

A bloodcurdling scream escaped the woman’s mouth before she fainted. Velamir looked at her and saw that blood was seeping from her seven orifices, and she was as pale as a sheet of paper. ‘A terrifying aura has impacted her… I couldn’t even stop it. No, I couldn’t even see it! What kind of strength does this woman have!?” 

Swallowing his thoughts, he asked formally. “Lady Yasenia, may I ask what you did to her? She is, after all, my right-hand woman. I want to know her state.”

Yasenia answered indifferently. “I was merciful and just exploded her meridians. She will survive and maintain her cultivation realm and lifespan. However, she will never be able to advance again. Her ability to exert strength is also crippled beyond saving. She could be considered a mortal with a very long lifespan.”

Everyone sucked in a deep breath, their faces paling at her brutal punishment. ‘Is this really considered merciful? I don’t want to imagine what her ruthless punishment is!’

Yasenia looked at the World Lord and asked. “Now. Will you accept my demands or not?”
