Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1200. Miscalculation On All Sides.
Chapter 1200 - 1200. Miscalculation On All Sides.
The location Emperor Long chose was a rather common meeting room. The chairs were a beautiful wood color and had wine red cushions. Meanwhile, the tables were adorned with stained glass panels and stunning marble surrounding those panels. The table was big enough for the four leaders to sit, while the rest stood against the walls behind each of their emperors' leaders.
There were ten people behind each Emperor, and among them, Yasenia was present.
Emperor Guo began speaking, his tone clearly skeptical. "The way you are speaking about that threat is not something easy to believe. Your strength is known throughout the entire world, and you are firmly sitting at the top of the world as the Dragon Emperor. Now, you are saying that there is a threat not even you or your empire can handle. Forgive my bluntness, but it feels like you are trying to use your influence to force our powers to clean something that's bothering your Long Empire."
The Fiery Empress spoke, her bright red hair elegantly gathered in a low-hanging ponytail. "Not only that, you have this new advisor who seems rather knowledgeable regarding schemes, as you've put it previously. How can we be sure that this is not part of that person's plan?"
Emperor Long looked at them and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Emperor Vali and asked. "Anything you want to say, Emperor Vali?"
Vali crossed his arms and spoke. "Our Empire has never been in true conflict with yours, Emperor Long. If this is truly a scheme to weaken us by using our armies to deal with one of your Empire's problems, then I am sorry to say that our cooperation will start to deteriorate quickly."
Yasenia heard their words and didn't interrupt. If an Emperor couldn't deal with this little bit of political power, then he wouldn't have held onto his power so firmly. She had not seen a trace of traitorous thoughts or factions during her stay in the Empire. This meant that the vast majority supported Emperor Long as the ruler.
'Still...' Yasenia couldn't help but give Empress Long a look. 'Having such a husband, and she is playing with me. I don't know what she is thinking.'
Empress Long moved her violet eyes, glancing at Yasenia, and she smiled seductively. 'Do you miss Mother~? Don't worry, I will satiate you later~.'
Yasenia showed a small blush and looked ahead. Inside, she was sighing endlessly. 'It has been a while since I've dual cultivated, and her actions are just accelerating my yin and yang reserves without providing a way to satiate myself... Soon, I'll be forced to Dual Cultivate. I hope I can deal with this and go to Soluna before that happens.'
After all, Empress Long had been stimulating her, but normal release could not satiate the dragoness's hunger. It was similar to giving her a whiff of something delicious without allowing her to eat. Eventually, her hunger would overtake her reason regardless of how much she resisted. 'Mom warned me that my lust during this stage will soar ridiculously, but I really didn't expect to struggle this much. There were times that I almost pushed Empress Long down before I knew what was happening.'
"... Emperor Long. Your words are too hard to believe. We really can't decide to lend you our strength based on that."
Yasenia blinked, realizing that the discussion had advanced quite a bit while she was distracted. 'Ugh. Focus! Think with your upper head, not the lower one!'
She saw Emperor Long frown faintly and then spoke. "Are you really going to put your own benefits over the safety of the world? Each second we delay speaking nonsense here, the [True Abyss] will continue to advance and devour more land. Each passing second is making our mission more dangerous. Each second we delay, more people are at risk of dying. I've set up a few people to avoid those beings from having contact with any creature. However, that will only last for so long as far as their territory keeps expanding."
Yasenia shook her head. 'Those righteous words could work if the other side wasn't planning on dealing with the Long Empire beforehand. They are enemies trying to deal with us, so the way to convince them to help us is faulty. Should I interrupt soon...?'
Yasenia muttered in her heart when Emperor Long suddenly sighed annoyingly. "I was trying to do it in a way that made our alliance a bit more solid. That's why I've been somewhat soft with all three of you. However, I feel as if my words are being thrown against a solid wall of stupidity." Emperor Long stood up, making the other three look at him with wariness. The Fiery Empress spoke rather nervously. "Emperor Long. Remember that if you dare to go wild here, all three of our empires will become your enemies! Be careful with what you do."
Emperor Long nodded. "I know. That's why I won't negotiate with all of you anymore. If you want the world to end while being arrogant, so be it. I've lived long enough."
He then turned around and spoke. "Let's return. Also, tell those people guarding the area to leave and let the [True Abyss] spread. Whatever happens from here on out, all the responsibility will fall onto the two human empires and the one beast-human empire. Our Long Empire will be on the defensive and protect only ourselves."
The three leaders looked at Emperor Long, and the Fiery Empress spoke solemnly. "Are you trying to use these bluffs to make us act? Do you think we are children?"
Emperor Long looked back and sneered. "I, Emperor of the Long Empire, hereby swear that I won't intervene with the [True Abyss] and will only defend our territory. Whatever the [True Abyss] does when spreading to any place outside the Long Empire has nothing to do with us, and no Dragon will move to aid the suffering people."
Yasenia's eyes widened, and her heart sank. 'No, while I understand that you are annoyed, that's not good! I need you to help me deal with that so that I can pass the trial!'
Her head became somewhat messy. She had not expected Emperor Long to be such a person. This was a big miscalculation.
She quickly tried to think of ways to remedy this. However, she didn't have enough influence. Not after Emperor Long swore that oath. After all, an Emperor's promise was something that could not be questioned!
Seeing everyone leaving, Yasenia looked at Emperor Long, and to her surprise, she saw him looking at her with interest. His eyes were basically saying. 'What will you do next?'
Yasenia's facial expression almost crumpled. 'You stupid Dragon! Are you still doubting my loyalty because I've been too forward? Is this what all of this is about!? Ahhh, I want to give you two loud slaps!'
She took a deep breath and spoke aloud. "Lords and Ladies, wait."
Emperor Long's eyes flashed with interest, and he raised one of his hands. The other three leaders looked at Yasenia, and their eyes lit up when they saw such a beautiful dragon. After all, while Yasenia had explosive curves like most dragons, they were at the edge of being too ridiculous. She had the perfect "seductive" form from the perspective of almost all races.
Emperor Vali, the leader of the Beast Human empire, asked confusedly. "What is a Beast Human Dragon doing in the Long Empire? Have you betrayed your people?"
Yasenia glanced at him, feeling annoyed inside. However, she clarified it easily. "I am not a Beast Human, Emperor Vali. I am a pure Dragon."
Fiery Empress laughed once, her cold face showing a mocking look. "It seems that you can't accept your true heritage. If you are a True Dragon, how about transforming into your dragon form?"
Emperor Long spoke with a smile. "Actually, that's not a bad idea. Your aura, bloodline pressure, and everything else, makes you quite similar to dragons. However, no dragon I know has its tail outside while in its human form. You are the first and only dragon with that peculiarity I've ever met."
Yasenia rolled her eyes. "Transforming here is impossible. My Dragon form is too gigantic for this place."
This time, everyone looked at Yasenia with doubt. A Dragon on Emperor Long's side spoke with a smile. "How big can a mortal dragon be? At most, you'll be around 400 meters long, right? Even if you are on the bigger side, you will be 600 meters tops. This city is not that big, but a dragon of that size won't cause a commotion."
Yasenia spoke patiently. "I am ten times your estimated size in my smallest form. Please, general, don't group me with an average dragon when you've seen my strength firsthand."
She had wanted to remain in the dark to deal with the other empires more easily. However, since Emperor Long wanted her to be in the spotlight, she would become a star so bright no one would be able to ignore her!
Yasenia saw Emperor Vali wanting to speak again, but she instantly unleashed her Dragon Aura. [Cosmos Dragon Imperial Suppression] exploded from her body like a storm, engulfing everyone in the room like a hurricane. The faces of everyone present changed slightly. Even the Dragons from the Long Empire, who had seen her release her aura before, couldn't help but flinch.
Yasenia's voice was low and imposing. "Since you want to see my Dragon form so eagerly, I'll show you."
Yasenia not only circulated her normal energy, but Cosmic Energy also flowed through her meridians. The usually violent energy that could not be easily controlled flowed as smoothly as a tamed pet thanks to her [Celestial Yin and Yang Body].
She stepped outside of the meeting and flew skyward. Everyone else also moved out, looking up with interest. Empress Long's eyes were shining full of curiosity and eagerness. 'This is my first time seeing Yasenia in her dragon form!'
"[Empyrean Cosmos Dragon Transformation]."
ROAR!
A sky-shaking roar exploded from beyond the clouds, and Yasenia transformed into her gargantuan form. No one could see her due to the violent energies surging all around, and the clouds were blocking their view as well.
Then, the Celestial Dragon descended.
From the clouds, the head of a gargantuan dragon that put mountains to shame showed up, followed by her gorgeous, long neck adorned with a blue crystal mane. The majestic golden eyes and horns shone with incredible pressure, making all the Dragons present want to bow down to the majestic being.
"What...?"
Yasenia's body crossed the clouds, her massive wings spreading to maintain the body weighing millions of tons in the air. As she looked down on the world, the world became dark. Everywhere one looked in the sky, Yasenia's draconic body would cover it.
"Now. Can we talk?"
Yasenia's voice echoed with the world itself, embedding into everyone's souls with the presence of a Queen.
