The chaotic energy of the darkness faded, leaving a heavy, expectant silence in the underground nursery. Mirabella held the ethereal pill in her palm, its surface swirling with cosmic runes that defied standard appraisal.

​"Heaven Pill? It can also activate a bloodline?" Mirabella stared at the pill in confusion, her draconic eyes narrowing as she analyzed the profound, primordial aura radiating from the small sphere.

​"I can feel the dense energy in it. Will it be safe to eat it like this?"

​{Yes Host.}

​Hearing the System’s absolute, mechanical reply, Mirabella took a deep breath, suppressing her inherent caution. She opened her mouth and threw the pill inside. Instead of a physical object sliding down her throat, it instantly dissolved into water, flooding her meridians with a cool, pure essence that bypassed her physical body and directly nourished her soul.

​"I didn’t feel anything, I just know it’s refreshing." She said, her tensed muscles relaxing.

​{Congratulations, Host Awakened a new Bloodline: Beast Empress.}

​"Huh?" Mirabella was stunned. Given her reincarnated knowledge of Galaxy Fall’s brutal progression mechanics, she was expecting agonizing pain, a violent energy explosion, or at least a localized elemental phenomenon. But she got nothing—just a seamless, quiet integration of supreme authority.

​"Ok, what’s this new Bloodline and its abilities?" She asked, pivoting on her heel and turning her gaze to the glowing jade Cocoons where the captives were suspended in bio-stasis.

​{Beast Empress: One of the Sun family’s bloodlines. Host gained the ability to tame and understand all monsters, no matter their stages and levels.}

​{Note: Tamed Beast will be 100% loyal to Host, and will never betray Host.}

​{Note: Host can tame unlimited number of Beast, as long Host’s mental strength is stronger.}

​{Beast Empress First ability: +1,000,000 in all stats. Unlocked.}

​{Beast Empress Second Ability: Can share the abilities, health and energy of all tamed Beasts. Unlocked.}

​{Beast Empress Third Ability: 50% reduction in all Monsters’ attacks. Unlocked.}

​Mirabella’s breath hitched as she read the system prompts. A flat +1,000,000 to all stats was a shattering boost, but the absolute suppression and infinite taming potential broke the very laws of the universe, even the eagle empire royal family can’t accomplish this.

​"How many bloodlines does the Sun family possess? I am starting to believe they are the first force in Galaxy Fall." She said, realizing the true depths of the ancient bloodline hierarchies she was tapping into. Pushing the implications aside for now, she began walking towards the Cocoons, her footsteps echoing in the cavern, and stopped before Grace’s sister.

​"Here goes everything." She placed her palm on the Cocoon. The jade-like surface, sensing the touch of a sovereign, trembled for a moment, and deep, splintering creaks appeared on the surface as the seal broke.

​[Golden Palace.]

​The catastrophic warzone of Queens was instantly replaced by a realm of profound, suffocating majesty. The sky was an endless tapestry of golden light, and the ground beneath their feet was paved with flawless, spirit-infused jade. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

​"Where the hell are we?" Rose asked, her voice trembling as she moved her gaze on the vast, pristine courtyard, then at the huge golden palace before them, its spires piercing the heavens.

​"How would we know that? This must be the Captain’s special space." Austin said, rubbing his neck, still phantom-aching from his brutal execution and subsequent resurrection.

​Hitachi slowly nodded his head, his celestial eyes analyzing the atmospheric density and spatial coordinates. "The signature here. This is the same space we had our training, the one-year training." He said, feeling the dense, almost liquid amount of spirit energy hanging heavy in the air.

​"Gosh! This place is so good! I can upgrade my Level just by cultivating here, I don’t even need Monster cards." Precious said in sheer disbelief, moving her hand on the air, watching the golden energy passively swirl around her fingertips.

​"You all shouldn’t forget Big Sister is out there with that monster!!" Carl yelled, his features twisted in anxiety, shattering their momentary awe. He gripped his Supreme Class dagger tightly, and turned to Grace, guilt flashing in his eyes:

​"Sorry if I called your mother a monster, but--"

​"--No worries." Grace interrupted, her voice hollow but steady. She gave a small force smiled, a tragic acceptance settling over her face. The apocalypse had forced her to mature in minutes.

​"I know my Mother is gone, she is just a monster’s Host now... If killing her is the only way to set her free, I am okay with it." She said, clenching her fists.

​The group looked at her in somber silence, the weight of her sacrifice pressing down on them, none knowing what to say or do to comfort such a profound loss.

​Nearby, Cupcake sat on her haunches, moving her gaze on the students, and raised her massive head to the golden clouds.

​’Adira has been summoned?! Why didn’t Master summon me, am I too weak to fight?’ She thought, a pang of inferiority striking her heart. The gap between a supreme fairy’s utility and her brute strength was becoming painfully apparent.

​"Alright, then let’s think of a way to get out of here!" Carl said, refusing to be a passive bystander. His golden aura flared violently into the air as he prepared to attack the spatial barrier, but the next moment, the golden Palace’s automated defense protocols engaged, and it effortlessly absorbed everything.

​"Huh?" Carl was stunned, his knees buckling as half of his total spirit energy was just sucked away without even him knowing, vanishing into the courtyard’s floorboards.

​"Forget it." Cupcake said, letting out a heavy, rumbling sigh and lying flat on the jade ground:

​"My Master placed you here, if she wants you to stay here, you can never leave. If you try to force your way out, your energy will simply get drained." She explained, stunning the group into submission. A Supreme Class artifact was an absolute prison to those lacking the master’s authority.

​They all moved their gazes around the place, the terrifying reality of their captain’s power sinking in.

​’But... Where the hell are we?’

​They thought in unison, realizing Mirabella possessed artifacts that outscaled the entire world.

​Rose held her jaw, lost in thought, the gears of her mind turning as she clearly remembering Mirabella’s last words before they were teleported into this zone:

​["You guys just saw what happened, so I can’t let you continue this fight... Promise me, whatever you saw today, you will take it to your grave, can you promise me that?"]

​’She is planning on keeping this a secret, well, we promised, and we won’t go back on it...’ She thought, sealing that vow into her very soul. But the implications of the battle were too massive to ignore. She turned to the others:

​"What do you guys think about the Prophecy that monster mentioned?" She asked, her sharp tone instantly drawing all their attention.

​"Such a monster won’t kid around with such things; meaning Mirabella is actually a child of prophecy, it also explains why she is so powerful." She said, piecing together the fragmented truths.

​The group looked at one another in stunned silence. Although none of them fully understood what the primordial monster was saying, it had unequivocally called Mirabella the child of prophecy, elevating her existence from a talented prodigy to a cosmic keystone.

​"This Greatest Evil... It seems the demon emperor isn’t the main threat to our world, there is something much more terrifying out there, and Mirabella is the blade, who will cut down this thing. But, can she complete this alone?" David asked, his voice barely a whisper. His question hung heavy in the golden air, silencing everyone as they stared at the impregnable walls of their sanctuary, realizing the true war hadn’t even begun.
