Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 377 - The First And Strongest Wife

The sudden image of the Devil Ape and True Dragon was like a flash before they were gone. For the slight second that it did, quantity didn't matter at all as all of them gulped. 

The old patriarch was taken back before he forced a smile on his gaping mouth. There was visible sweat on his forehead as he tried to overcome the ridiculous pressure.

"I see... I SEE... so that's how it is huh? What a huge scandal this is?! The Empress is actually married in private and to add to that, it was from a younger generation?! A nobody?!"

He tried to swoon the onlookers by revealing the obvious. He tried to win support whenever the opportunity raised. However, how could he knew that the latter didn't care a single bit about the public's opinion?

"I think our feud shouldn't inflict the empress."

The old patriarch furrowed his eyebrows as he saw the ones speaking. It was none other than the girl under the opponent's banner. The Alrude side of the family, Sophia.

(Of course, you don't want to tangle the empress into this, however, this momentum belongs to me!) thought the old patriarch from Loh Sect as he chuckled inside. 

"How did you could ever mutter such a thing, I'm not planning to fit the Empress into this matter. She already..." he smirked, "have a loving husband... oh how lucky the bastard is."

"Lucky?"

"NGH!"

The soft voice choked his throat as his wrinkled eyes opened wide in horror. There was not a single shred of mercy despite only a glare was all he received. The empress slightly descended down under his watchful eyes before she turned around.

"Take care of him and his group, those dears to him and those he dears. Go, all of you."

"But..."

The words stuck inside Sophia's throat as she saw the sharp eyes that the untouchable empress exuded. She had never seen her so serious her entire life, in fact, the entire world had not. The matter of the world didn't phase her one bit, either they were domestic or non-domestic. Any rebellions under her rule were quelled by a mutter of her name as even the rats of her own empire could only hiss.

"What?! Heh, are you really that confident that they could get away? I'm afraid you are mistaken, for you see..." The old patriarch smiled as he saw the floating army coming to East City from the west.

The empress furrowed her eyebrows as she saw a swarm of metals coming directly to them. Sophie raised her eyebrows before she turned around, her eyes opened wide in anger as she saw who they were. 

"Sorry, miss Sophia, but we are switching sides."

The captain that once laughed at Lyon smiled eerily as he led his troops. The shiny metals on their body were the product of their insatiable desire. The army had clearly been swoon by the enemy.

"Bah! Your royalty is more shallow than the water inside a seated toilet!"

However, the words didn't come out of Sophia's own mouth. It didn't come out from the empress either. It was someone else, someone unruly that they would have never thought would bet his thin life against the conflict of the giants.

"Who said that?!"

"ME!"

The shout didn't come from the one floating in the sky, it was from below, where most of the later generations were. Standing with his bow on his back, the handsome young man with blonde hair had his eyes sharp before putting a small book inside his pocket. The legendary limited edition book that could make people puked blood with just any verse inside. 

"Jugen!"

The young man proudly revealed his name to the sky where every single one of them could end him with just a finger. Karina could only shake her head both in shame and pride, she was definitely having mixed feelings toward this younger brother of her.

"Hahahaha! Kid, I couldn't even dare to fully gauge your low cultivation level, yet you dare speak ill of me? What's makes you so stupid?"

"Stupid? Maybe, but brave? Definitely, for I'm big bro's younger brother! Lyon's younger brother!"

The revelation caught them by surprise as they opened their eyes wide. Even the empress herself was unprepared for this. She would have never thought that his dearest would have a younger brother, tho, by their features, they were definitely different from one another. She suddenly let out a laugh as Yunesia's eyes were glimmering seeing the brazen youth facing the surmounting gods above.

"Oh my, oh my, he has a younger brother?" the purple lips puckered up a smile before her wais were suddenly tugged.

"Older sister, stop it."

Madoku was right beside her before Yunesia blinked twice, "Oh! Madoku and Madoka! How I've missed you! I'm proud of both of you."

Yunesia didn't spare anytime before she hugged her beloved sister before rubbing her head afterward. Though the latter didn't know if she meant it or not, her cheeks turned a red hue as her personality was interchanging with each rub.

"What? Who is Lyon?" asked the captain.

Sophia smiled, "It seems like you needed an update, Lyon. The Young Emperor, Lyon Torga, is none other than the husband of."

"Me..."

The empress smiled against the bewildered captain. There was no way they could have anticipated such sudden news. However, even so, the balance of power was still the same. There was no way that fact alone could get them out of trouble. They were sure that they couldn't handle the Empress but the rest was pretty much easier.

"Heh, congratulation Empress, but I'm afraid that you need to do what the patriarch of Loh sect said if you want them out of harm."

The guard smiled. With the backing from the enemy, he dared himself to speak up against the powerful presence of the Empress. There was no way for him to dare do that otherwise. 

"I refuse."

"What?!"

"Sophia, do what I told you to do, let him rest on a comfy bed, no physician nor alchemist allowed to enter the room."

The empress gave her her beloved without a shred of worry. The young man was still bleeding from his orifices with no signs of waking up anytime soon. Sophia was doubting the empress's decision before remembering Lyon's godly vitality.

"Jugen, I'm sure that he is proud of you."

Jugen was surprised as praise came from the auburn beauty before the latter slowly rose up facing the grimaced patriarch without fear.

"Let me remind you before you do anything rash, you are not making the wise decision here, Empress."

"Wise? Who said that I was?"

Suddenly the atmosphere turned to choke as the incredible pressure was exuded outright from her being. The old master opened his eyes wide looking above, the lady with the auburn hair had a crazy battle aura that even he couldn't hope to achieve in his entire lifespan. 

"This is..." he muttered.

Sophia nodded, "She is getting serious, the world is about to see the wrath of the empress herself."

She turned around before quickly descending down to which a knight quickly intercepted before a mantra suddenly exploded the latter's heart.

"Die."

The body splurted out blood from all of his orifices before he fell down as a corpse. The captain had his eyes stretched wide as he saw one of his men died without a single finger was lifted.

(This woman...) the old patriarch immediately had worries on his face as he stood before the goddess of battle herself. 

"Hmm?? Heh, hahahaha!!"

The old patriarch suddenly laughed under the tension, " I was afraid to offend you before, but now after I probe your cultivation level, you are no different than your husband! A weakling peak Divine Realm!"

"I don't mind you insulting me and you were lucky to incite my wrath instead of his. However, I will not tolerate an insult toward my dearest. You pushed me too far, old thing."

"What?"

"Hmph!"

Cecile crossed her arms like a certain someone before she spoke, "You think you have a higher winning chance since you have your army? Since your cultivation level is higher than mine? Then let me show you... the power that Lyon's first and strongest wife has!"

Her eyes immediately turned jade green as a tattoo formed on her beautiful back. The onlookers couldn't read it before the woman brutally disappeared from their sight. Not even a motion of acceleration was seen nor heard, only a speck of jade-ish mana was seen.

"True Dragon Art: Wave of Shattering World!"

The image of a true dragon swept past the unprepared students before they turned into a fountain of blood that adorned the sky. The old patriarch and the other patriarchs that were plotting against the empress had their mouths gape before they saw the fluttering white cloak that had not a single speck of blood glanced over with a glare.. The balance of power immediately shifted as their students tumbling down with no pupils present in their eyeballs.
