Emperor's Reckoning

The juniors of the sect and clans looked in horror against the sky as their seniors tumbling down without a fidget on their bodies. Their mouth gaped then froze as even air felt heavy to breathe in. They thought that they would have the upper hand by the surmounting quantity, however, the fluttering white cloak above proved otherwise. 

The quick attack was unbelievable even from the old master's eyes to observe. The speed and the execution, he didn't even let out a single breath before it was over. He clicked his tongue before shaking his head. 

"This generation, or the earlier generation, it looks like I have no say for the matter."

He smiled wryly as he looked at the beautiful woman with auburn hair. Her tall figure, her lean defined muscle, she was the epitome of a woman. There was nothing that could beat that physique. 

"You!"

The old patriarch couldn't believe that the empress would make such a rash decision. They were surrounded in all directions, her own army had betrayed her. There was no way to run besides compromising with the deal. However, what made him taken back was the cultivation level she had. It was beyond ridiculous for such a figure to have that kind of level yet destroyed their senior students who had reached Godhood Realm. 

"Heh, you look so surprised, do you think just because you attained Godhood Realm I can't kill you? Please, Godhood Realm is the very base of becoming a god. It won't take that much to kill a youngling such as yourself."

Cecile smirked as she turned around. The surviving seniors of their sects were glaring at the women. However, the hinge of fear that was foreshadowing them made them hesitate to do anything. 

"Don't get caught up!"

The old patriarch immediately warned the other sect masters and elders along with the remaining seniors of their clan. Even though their enemy was only a peak Divine Realm, not only her tremendous battle power that they should watch but her status as well. The old patriarch certainly didn't want to deal with her parents. 

"But!"

"Wait for it."

The old patriarch didn't turn his glance even when his allies spoke. His main concern was the empress and how to deal with the woman. He suddenly smiled as a flash of thought entered his mind.

"If you think that you can stop us, all by yourself. Then you can try! However, I wonder what would happen to the rest of the onlookers below."

"Hahaha!"

The onlookers didn't even react before the empress herself let out a hearty laugh. The bitterness on the old patriarch's face turned him ugly. He never thought that the empress would react like this. 

"A Godhood Realm such as yourself, against me, a mere Divine Realm, yet you use such tactic to overcome me? Hahaha, how pathetic, and you call yourself a patriarch?"

The empress shook her head with a condescending smirk. She didn't even need to use an army to exert her dominance to the world while the latter need the whole school. The contrast of their quality was vast.

The old patriarch furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't need to look around him to know that they were looking at him differently. However, the army had been formed, their attacking power had surely overcome lone strength. It was the face of shame that he had to wore, regardless, the goal was much more important. The entire World of Blue would prove beneficial toward the battle of inheritance if he were to acquire it.

The loss of his son meant nothing compared to the benign of winning the grand battle. He saw the bigger picture rather than the short fringe of vengeance for his pleasure. 

"You have a sharp tongue Empress. Students! All of you stay back, surround the others! She has proven her worthiness in battle. You guys stood no chance! Let us old folks deal with her."

The old patriarch and the other sect leaders immediately confronted the empress before surrounding her in a spread-out eight directions. The surviving seniors immediately scattered away as the treason army immediately acted and assisted them. 

"You are all out of option now, empress."

"Then all I have to do is make them. Hmph! the strongest amongst you eight is you yourself, a level seven Godhood Realm. Pretty pathetic if you look that old with cultivation that shallow."

"What?!"

He couldn't believe the empress would insult them even at this point. Not to mention the shamelessness in her words, it was as if she was above them in terms of the realm.

"Keep talking big, empress, we are only here to hold you down. Beating you would prove detrimental. I don't want your parents to involve themself in the inheritance battle."

"My parents? Heh, what makes you think they would do a lot more than I am? I don't even pay my respect to the dying old bones that could only sit on his throne. I only kneel to my parents for gifting birth to me and to my dearest husband whom I will share my whole life ONCE AGAIN!"

"Ho ho ho~"

The voice that entered their ears spiked their instinct to the fullest. The old patriarch immediately opened his eyes wide. He knew whose voice it belonged to. (This voice! It can't be! How come he is here?!) thought the old patriarch before he glanced down.

The very same old man that carried the rest of the group was smiling till his eyes turned into a straight line. 

"No... that's impossible... what are the chances of him being here."

"This is bad..."

"We need to retreat and reform!"

"Wait!"

The old patriarch immediately took over the atmosphere with a stretch of his hand to stop them from leaving. The timing was immaculate, he couldn't believe that things went south in a blink of an eye. The presence of the old man alone caused the morals of the former generations to diminish. 

Cecile took a glance at the old man before she let out a sigh and annulled her own transformation. The auburn beauty immediately descended down without care of the onlookers. She landed with both of her bare feet, looking at the old man that was shorter than him she let out a sigh once more.

The old man opened his mouth only for the auburn beauty to walked past him. The old man didn't mind as his mouth pointed upward while Cecile did the same without glancing back. A flutter of the wind slightly swayed her dragon-waterfall braid hair before her nape was revealed.

A tattoo that was so beautiful was engraved on it. Black ten swords embedded to the ground was the image that made Kyoko noticed it had her pupils shrunk in disbelief. 

(I know she is powerful, I thought she was a half-race, a half-giant. Having ridiculous strength and haughtiness. However, she was even scarier than I thought) Kyoko smiled.

"You guys have no chance against that woman. Not a single female in this world can, not to mention her secret relationship, oops, it's not a secret anymore now is it."

Luna heard Kyoko's opinion and she had not a single word to refute it, Just her presence alone could make someone like her that was a princess felt inadequate. 

"Sophi, give me."

"Y... Yes..!!"

Sophie immediately rushed toward the empress with Lyon in her arms. The injured youth was smiling all the time even when he passed out. Was it because of the one who held him or was it because of the kiss that still left the blood mark on Cecile's beautiful face? Not even the gods knew.

The empress willingly opened her arms and took the young man without hesitation. Her figure may have been built for war, but her eyes were that of a lover. She didn't care that the thoughts of others, only herself and only him were what matter. 

"I will go back to the Center City, it's peaceful now that the rats are already out of the place."

She didn't hesitate to insult the captain and the rest of the army before slowly floating in the air.

"Do what I've told you to do before, I will wait for you there."

"Empress!" the old patriarch tried to reach out his arm as he moved toward her before a voice froze his spine.

"Ho~ you want something from my daughter? Do you know how hard it was to find someone suitable for her? I thought she would never get married you know, but heck, she is already married behind my back? But it's alright, I approved the boy! Hahaha!"

"Now then, do you want to continue to the path of no reincarnation or go back home?" the old man smiled.
