Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist



The emergence of the Elven Race onto the continent after a long period had shattered the delicate balance between the various races. As they allied with the Dwarven Race, the combined might of the Elves and Dwarves proved overwhelming for the Giant Race, who were ultimately driven to retreat from the Northern Region back to the Western Deserts.

With the Giant Race in retreat, the focus of the Dwarves and Elves naturally turned to the only Human Empire in the Northern States—the Verzen Empire. This empire had anticipated the combined assault of the Dwarven and Elven experts and had prepared its people for war.

This unfolding scenario was precisely as Wang Jian had instructed Empress Isabella of the Verzen Empire. He had directed her to aid the Giant Race in their attack on the Dwarven Powered Immortal Dominion and, if possible, to take control of it. In case of failure, he had ordered her to prepare the entire empire for war.

However, the arrival of the Elven Race had caught Wang Jian by surprise. His calculations had been based on the assumption that, with Emperor Realm experts at the helm, the Verzen Empire could potentially fend off the Dwarven Race. But the addition of the Elven Race had shifted the odds significantly against the human empire.

Amid this rapidly evolving situation, Wang Jian issued orders to the Sect Leaders of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, the Spirit Affinity Sect, and the Wind Cloud House of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion. He called upon them to lend their forces and support the Verzen Empire in the Northern States, ensuring its survival in the face of this formidable alliance.

The Sect Leaders swiftly mobilized their disciples, marshaling their resources and martial prowess to reinforce the Verzen Empire. Wang Jian knew that if they failed to act decisively, the Verzen Empire would be overwhelmed by the united might of the Dwarves, Elves, and any remnants of the Giant Race.

In response to Wang Jian's command, Sect Leader Fairy Qian Shui of the Heavenly Lotus Sect gathered his disciples—a formidable group of female cultivators skilled in myriad techniques. They were known for their ability to manipulate qi in all its forms, from gentle rains to raging torrents. The Heavenly Lotus Sect had always been a stalwart ally of the Everlasting Mystical Empire, and Sect Leader Liang was determined to live up to that legacy.

Over at the Spirit Affinity Sect, Sect Leader Fairy Ming Lan rallied her disciples, who possessed an innate connection to the spirits of the natural world. They were adept at harnessing the energy of the environment to bolster their strength, making them formidable allies in the upcoming conflict. Sect Leader Xue shared Wang Jian's commitment to preserving the Verzen Empire's existence.

Meanwhile, the Wind Cloud House, under the leadership of Sect Leader Xue Yi, prepared their disciples for the journey to the Northern States. The Wind Cloud House was renowned for their mastery of wind-based techniques, allowing them to move with incredible speed and precision. Their assistance was crucial in ensuring swift and effective support for the Verzen Empire.

As the disciples of these three sects assembled, their leaders shared Wang Jian's vision of safeguarding the human empire in the Northern States. They knew that the outcome of this conflict would shape the future of the region and, perhaps, the entire continent.

The forces of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Spirit Affinity Sect, and Wind Cloud House, bolstered by their unique talents and unwavering determination, were prepared to stand alongside the Verzen Empire in a battle that would determine the fate of the Northern States.

Empress Isabella of the Verzen Empire had prepared extensively for the impending clash with the combined might of the Dwarven and Elven Races. She understood that the survival of her empire depended on her ability to hold her ground against these formidable adversaries. Her preparations encompassed a wide array of defensive, offensive, killing, and suppressive arrays, each designed to thwart the advancing forces of the Dwarves and Elves.

The first of her arrays was the "Heaven's Shield Array." This defensive formation created an invisible barrier around her army, capable of deflecting attacks and spells directed at them. Its purpose was to provide cover for her troops while they executed their maneuvers.

For offense, Isabella had implemented the "Dragon's Fury Array." This formation channeled the collective power of her warriors into concentrated blasts of energy that could obliterate enemy positions. It was a fearsome array meant to counter the might of the Dwarves and Elves.

To deal with the elite forces of her adversaries, she had crafted the "Soulhunter Array." This deadly formation was designed to target and weaken the spiritual essence of enemy experts, leaving them vulnerable to attacks. It was a weapon of psychological warfare as much as a tactical one.

Lastly, the "Silent Night Array" was her suppressive formation. It cloaked her troops in an eerie silence, making their movements nearly impossible to detect. This array aimed to disorient the enemy and disrupt their coordination on the battlefield.

In addition to these arrays, Isabella had provided her warriors with a stockpile of rare and potent pellets to enhance their combat abilities. Each of these forbidden pellets bore a four-word name, denoting its unique properties.

The "Vitality Elixir Pellet" granted a surge of energy and healing capabilities to the one who consumed it, allowing for quicker recovery during battles.

The "Elemental Surge Pellet" temporarily enhanced the user's affinity with a specific element, empowering their elemental attacks to unparalleled levels.

The "Phantom Step Pellet" bestowed the gift of incredible speed and agility, enabling warriors to outmaneuver their foes and strike with precision.

The "Berserker's Might Pellet" induced a controlled state of frenzy, amplifying physical strength and resilience in combat.

As the stage was set, the Verzen Empire and its allies faced off against the Dwarven and Elven Races. The war that ensued was a symphony of chaos, with arrays clashing against arrays, weapons piercing the air, and magic rending the sky.

The Dwarven warriors wielded unique weapons, their craftsmanship legendary. Gleaming spears with runic inscriptions could pierce through thick armor, while enchanted cannons could unleash explosive volleys of destruction. Their efforts were concentrated on breaking through the Verzen Empire's formidable arrays.

On the other side, the Elven archers showcased their proficiency in launching arrays as arrows. They launched "Vine Snare Arrows," which rapidly grew into ensnaring vines, immobilizing enemy forces. "Metalstorm Arrows" unleashed torrents of metal fragments, devastating enemy formations. "Toxic Haze Arrows" released deadly poisons that corroded armor and incapacitated foes.

The battlefield became a dynamic tableau, with Empress Isabella at its heart. Her swordsmanship was unparalleled, as she deftly parried attacks, her movements graceful yet lethal. She faced the Elves with their eldritch plant-based abilities and the Dwarves with their unmatched craftsmanship. But her determination and resolve were unwavering.

As the battle raged on, Empress Isabella's leadership and strategic brilliance shone through. She adjusted her arrays in response to enemy tactics, and her forces fought with unwavering courage and unity. The Verzen Empire was holding its ground against the combined onslaught of the Dwarven and Elven Races.

The absence of the Elf Queen and Dwarven Monarch had created a noticeable void on the battlefield. Their presence could have tipped the balance decisively. However, the conflict raged on without their direct involvement.

The Verzen Empire, led by Empress Isabella, had held its ground against the combined forces of the Dwarven and Elven Races, but the losses on both sides were considerable. The conflict had reached a deadly stalemate. The Verzen Empire knew that they needed reinforcements to tip the scales in their favor.

Their salvation arrived with the arrival of the three Great Sects of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion from the Central Region. Their forces were a formidable addition, and their martial strength was undeniable. Upon their arrival, the Dwarven and Elven Races had no choice but to withdraw, their losses too substantial to continue the assault.

The Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion's sects, with their expertise and numbers, had effectively turned the tide. Empress Isabella felt a surge of relief as the enemies withdrew, the threat to her empire diminishing.

As the Dwarves and Elves retreated, Empress Isabella ordered her troops to secure their territory. They needed to regroup, replenish their supplies, and fortify their defenses in case the Dwarven and Elven Races returned with a new strategy. Their survival in the Northern States depended on their ability to remain vigilant.

Meanwhile, across the continent, the response to these events was swift and varied. The Barbarian Race, often known for their impulsive actions, seized the opportunity created by the chaos. They launched an attack on the weakened Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion, capitalizing on their precarious situation.

However, the three Great Sects of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion had anticipated such a move. Having previously dealt with other threats like the Devil Race, the Sea Monster Race, and the smaller human sects that had attempted to target them, they had prepared for this very scenario. They knew it would be either the Barbarian Race or the emerging Beast Race led by the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon that would strike next.

Their preparedness was evident as they coordinated their efforts to fend off the Barbarian Race's assault.

In the Wind Cloud House region of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion, experts from all corners of the Southern Region, who had pledged their loyalty to Wang Jian's Everlasting Mystical Empire, had gathered. These seasoned warriors shared a common cause, and they were determined to stand in defense of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion against the Barbarian Race.
