Heaven, Earth, Me

Yasenia stood at the front of her flying ship, looking down at the Shadow Deer City. She was thinking about how to start the all-out attack on the Continental Shadows on land to kill the most people possible. 'Once I start this all-out attack, the Continental Shadows will probably target Underwater powers like the mermaids and other allies we have there, like the lobsters.'

The dragoness hummed. She was angry, but her anger was rational. It was like an ocean that wanted to swallow everything. 'After failing to bring down my Astral Sky Abyss Sect while attacking for almost three years straight, they must know that my defenses are too much for them. Hence, instead of killing me, boxing me in a single corner of the ocean while they dominate the rest is the next best option.'

Tengliu approached and commented. "Yasenia, are you sure you want to come here?"

Looking at the silver-feathered harpy, Yasenia smiled. "How is everything going, Aunty Tengliu?"

Tengliu grinned as she spun once, showing off the beautiful white clothes covering her body. "Thanks to Evelyn, I am finding it quite nice to wear different outfits. They are still revealing and can't cover as much. However, Evelyn's breakthrough had given plenty of ideas to my race's tailors. Many have managed to create their own versions of Harpy Clothes." 

The dragoness laughed. "I was thinking that you would never wear the clothes. You were quite proud of showing your body to everyone."

Tengliu nodded. "I am proud of my body. However, since it is considered proper to wear clothes outside Distancia, I am trying to get used to it."

"And, how is it going?"

"Fantastic!" Tengliu laughed. "I am enjoying it more than expected." 

Tengliu blinked. "Even though we can take the rest of the continent by ourselves? The only ones getting in the way are the Demons, to be honest." 

The dragoness hummed. "The Demons have Level 8 Intents at least. One of them can sweep the floor with other peak levels. Moreover, they have 3 Arch-Duke Demons, similar to peak-level Epoch Cores or Half-Step Dantian Spiritualization Cultivators. A Level 7 or 8 Duke Demon can already fight against a peak-level Epoch Core; those Arch Dukes are almost impossible to kill for the people in Distancia." 

Tengliu shrugged. "Touché, I guess. Why haven't you gone and eliminated them? If you go with your fifty maids, it should be possible to kill them quickly, right?"

Yasenia commented. "Well, the reason I could deal with the Divines was because I played dirty. They were trapped in my formation, thinking they could escape with the treasures they had. However, my main sect's formation is well above whatever they had in mind. They could do nothing, like fish trapped in a net." 

The dragoness sighed. "I am not so sure about being able to do the same to the Demons. Even assassination is not a sure-fire way. There are treasures that can be activated even when you are not aware." 

Tengliu nodded. "I see. How about forcing them to use their things?"

Yasenia tilted her head. "To be honest. If Valeria, Tatyana, or Mirrory would help, perhaps it is possible to just smash them. But if they use something that triggers with their deaths to summon a Demon Monarch, we lose everything."

Tengliu blinked. "One Demon Monarch is enough to dominate everything?"

Yasenia commented. "You fighting a Demon Monarch is how a Unification Realm Expert feels fighting you. Do you think that a bunch of Unification Realm experts can beat you?"

Tengliu shook her head. "I can stomp many before my energy runs out. And then, I can flee and recover."

The dragoness nodded. "That's right. If you go to a place where people are stuck at the peak of the Fourth realm, you alone can probably dominate most of that place. Your reach, though, is less than a Demon Monarch." 

Tengliu titled her head. "Meaning?"

Yasenia commented. "A Demon Monarch's spiritual sense can expand for thousands of kilometers. They can search an entire World in a matter of hours. Their strength is enough to split continents. Their range of attack is several times ours." 

Tengliu exclaimed. "No wonder, no wonder. Even your maids would have trouble beating one, right?"

Yasenia muttered. "They've done Anti-Transcendent fighting. However, it has its limits. While they probably can hold off a Transcendent Level cultivator, they won't be able to land a killing blow. Sealing them is the most they can do if everything goes well." 

Tengliu blinked. "Sealing, huh… Do you think there are sealed cultivators in Distancia?"

Yasenia tilted her head. "Unless they were sealed by Distancia, I don't think so. Formations to seal someone are quite… complex. It is a spatial formation that boasts sturdiness. Of course, it cannot use space as a way of sealing, but… Those are rare." 

Tengliu hummed. "So… What are your plans?"

The dragoness hummed. "I am not sure. I want to kill every single person that forms part of the Continental Shadows. However, that chance is really messing up my plans."

Tengliu laughed. "Yasenia, aren't you giving those Demons too much credit?"

The dragoness looked at Tengliu, and the silver-feathered harpy smirked. "If they had something like that, wouldn't they have used it already?"

Yasenia blinked. "Hm? Hmmm… Hmhm~." 

Tengliu burst into laughter. "What are those sounds?" 

The dragoness snorted with a smile. "I am thinking." 

"Sure, sure. Think more, you sound adorable."

The dragoness commented. "I guess. I'll just do it. There really is not enough planning to do against something like that. If a Demon Monarch descends… Well, I'll just give up on our Alliance's victory and vanish from this World."

Tengliu asked, incredulous. "That easy? You will leave behind everything you've built?"

Yasenia shrugged. "As long as my family and those close to me are okay, there are no problems." 

Tengliu blinked prettily. "Am I one of those close people?"

Yasenia lifted an eyebrow and smiled. "After I give you a beating, I'll accept you." 

Tengliu opened her arm-wings playfully. "Come on! My body is yours to do as you please."

After rolling her eyes, the dragoness said aloud. "Destroy the city with the Secondary Cannon! I don't want to create too much destruction."

Alaia used around 500 Purple crystals, and the stealth surrounding the boat was destroyed, revealing the massive ship flying above the city. 

Yasenia shouted. "If you survive, blame your leaders for attacking my lovers while they were giving birth! That was something I told everyone not to do since the beginning, and I will not accept pardons for those who offend. This injustice is nothing more than the wrath of a dragon mother."

The people below were confused, and the leaders in the city quickly went outside to look upward. Seeing Yasenia, they were startled. "Yasenia Dravory, what's the meaning of this!" 

The dragoness said coldly. "Ask your leader. Fire the [Secondary Skeletal World Cannon]!"

Everyone in the city saw a second and brighter Sun appear in the sky, followed by the sensation of their bodies flying.

However, this sensation only lasted for a moment as a terrifying energy shockwave razed everything to the ground. 

In an instant, around 400 square kilometers were flattened. The entire city disappeared from the ground.

Tengliu's face was constantly twitching. "Since when did you have this?"

"Since the start." Yasenia answered flatly as her eyes took in the death of almost 3 billion people. 

Inside of her, she was always wondering if this was right. However, she didn't mind if it wasn't the morally right move. The dragoness saw several people appearing around her.

Most of them consisted of the leaders of several powers, including Dyrathos. The leader of the Shadow Running Deer Clan shouted. "YASENIA DRAVORY! WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!?"

Yasenia turned toward him and said. "Who did you send around a week ago, and to do what? That's your answer and the reason for…" The dragoness looked down at the vast expanse of destruction and signaled at it. "...this." 

"DID YOU NEED TO KILL SO MANY PEOPLE FOR SUCH A SMALL OFFENSE!?"

Yasenia's lips arched coldly. "Small?" The dragoness laughed chillingly. "Small offense?" 

The dragoness stepped out of the protection of her ship fearlessly and used her speed to appear one meter away from the Shadow Running Deer Leader. 

Such courage made everyone hold their breath. 

Yasenia looked at the man, eye to eye, and stated clearly. "I told you, the Continental Shadows, to keep this war from those close to me, right? I told you that if you manage to kill me, then whatever. I am trying to do the same, so there is no resentment in me about your attempts."

Her tone became laced with a dragon growl. "However, I told you not to touch my children." Yasenia approached further, allowing the Shadow Deer Leader to feel her breath on his face. "But you did. Now, feel the consequences of your actions." 

The dragoness looked around coldly. "If you don't stomp on my bottom line, I might assimilate your races and give them a future. However, know that what will happen to the Shadow Deer Running Clan is the fate of those who dare to have an attempt on my children's life!" 

Then, with a wave of her hand, the dragoness returned to the ship, and no one attempted to attack Yasenia while she was "vulnerable."

This situation was like a slap to the face of all Yasenia's enemies. She had just metaphorically entered their house, slapped their friend, and walked out while giving them an undefended back.

Yet, no one acted.

At this exact moment, everyone knew. Everyone felt it.

They feared her. 

Yasenia Dravory's presence had grown so large lately that even when they had a chance to act, they didn't. They were utterly and hopelessly intimidated. 

After returning to the ship, she ordered Alaia in a loud but merciless tone. "Next, <!-- --><Shadow Village City><!-- -->." 

This day was remembered as one of the most impactful in history. 

In a single week, the Shadow Running Deer Clan had disappeared from the face of Distancia. Then, during the next two weeks, several powers flipped their allegiance and left the Continental Shadow Group.

By the end of the third week, the only power that was not part of the Astral Sky Alliance inland was the Demons. 

Yasenia looked at the Demon's palace from a distance. Behind her, a terrifyingly large army had gathered. More than 10,000 High-Level Epoch Cores, more than 500,000 Mid-level Epoch Cores, and more than 5,000,000 Low-Level Epoch Cores.

Then, around 200 Peak-level cultivators, without counting the 50 maids, stood by her side. 

Yasenia saw the eight demons floating out of their castle, looking at the army with a relatively relaxed expression. Kyril spoke. "Yasenia Dravory, you have half the World. Do you need to kill us as well? We won't go down without a fight." 

Yasenia stated, "Kyril, you are an intelligent woman. Demons are a race of conquest. They can't live with other races without destroying their culture. You steal, conquer, and spread. While you probably have a trump card, it's not enough. If you don't resist, I might consider having you trapped in my dungeon and promise not to torture you. I also want to avoid as many deaths as possible. However, I can't be at ease knowing that you eight are with the Ocean Chasm Empire." 

Kyril shook her head. "That's a shame. Activate the formation."

Yasenia shouted right after. "Attack!"
