The World Serpent

Chapter 142 - 142-The Great Ruler Of Azathoth

Aurora found herself staring at the Black Metallic Hangar of the Fortress Bastion. It was one of the many Hangars within the Fortress, but Aurora was sure it was the biggest One. She carefully looked around with her Silver-colored Eyes and slowly exited the Bestia Transport Ship. The Crew of the Transport Ship started doing their work while multiple Soldiers got out of the Transport Ship along with Aurora. 

As Aurora stepped onto the Dark Concrete Ground of the Hangar, She finally had a good look at the Hangar. The Red Crimson Neon Lights that illuminate and guide everything. There were also Dozen Drones scattered all over the Hangar. But that wasn't the only thing Aurora had seen. She noticed numerous Transport Ships that weren't from the Nation of Bestia. She furrowed her eyebrows after seeing it aa thought to herself.

'It seems that I'm not the only diplomat here.' Such thought passed through Aurora's mind as the Beast Soldiers around her gazed around the Hangar with Cold Expressions. They were the Best and Elite Force of the Nation of Bestia. Entering through a New Foreign Territory was Friday for them. They didn't think that much about the Hangar, though the Transport Ships within the Hangar took their attention. 

"It seems that we aren't the only One visiting the Nation of Azathoth. I want you to be careful when taking action." Aurora warned as the Soldiers nodded without any questions. They already got used to such warnings. They understood that such words were appropriate for diplomats. The image of the Nation Bestia was important for Diplomacy. It was Normal to ask the Soldiers not to tarnish its image. 

The Transport Ships around them started opening their doors and ramps, which signified that they had arrived at the same time as Bestia. The nearest Transport Ship was the Transport Ship of Elda, The Elven Nation of the Great Forest. As its doors opened, a Beautiful Elf revealed herself. She had Purple Hair and Pink Eyes. Her Skin was Pale as her Beauty was Seductive. She was the Diplomat of Elda, Sella.

As the doors of the Elda Transport Ship opened, Sella finally saw the Hangar of the Fortress Bastion. She took a look at her surroundings and instantly noticed Aurora. Sella had a face of surprise though it got replaced with a smirk. She then smiled towards Aurora and winked towards her. 

The two of them had known each other as Normal Diplomats. The Cold Aurora and the Seductive Sella were the opposites of each other though they got along without any problems. Well, that was a long time ago before Aurora got the job of being the Secretary of Kitsune. 

'Why does it have to be her?' Aurora sighed and thought to herself. How unlucky was she? Such a question echoed through her mind as Aurora shook her head. As the Diplomat of Elda revealed herself, The Diplomat of Dwarven had also left his Transport Ship. It was one of the Forge Hammers of the Dwarven Nation. 

He was a Handsome Dwarf Man. The Diplomat was known as the Youngest Forge Hammers of the Dwarven Nation. He was also the Guardian of the Northern Borders in the Northern Mountain Ranges. The Young Dwarf Man was Malgon. 

Malgon got out of his Transport Ship and noticed the Beast Lady and the Elven Lady. He smiled towards them and walked in their direction along with his guards. Though, Malgon wasn't the last Diplomat planning to meat the Great Ruler of Azathoth. There was the Last Diplomat, From the Spirt Nation of Astra. 

The doors of the Astra Transport Ship as a Beautiful Lady with Dark Blue Hair revealed herself. Her Pitch-Black Eyes gazed upon the Hangar as she noticed the Three Diplomats. The Spirit Lady was the Diplomat of Astra, or she was known as the Space Spirit of Astra. Such Spirits were rare, and they were also Powerful. She wasn't supposed to be the Diplomat, but she heard rumors about one of the Demons able to manipulate Space. 

Her name was Sirius. The Spirit of Space.

She walked out of the Astra Transport Ship and met with the Three Diplomats. Sirius looked at them as if she was looking at children, which was understandable as Sirius was extremely old. The Diplomats in front of her represented the Young Generation of Warriors. Along with the New Demon Race, It seems that the Great Forest has reached its Golden Age. 

The Four Diplomats looked at each other as an Inquisitor finally arrived to pick them up. They turned their heads towards a Certain Direction. They then saw a Beautiful Lady with Silver Hair and Purple Amethyst Eyes. She was one of the Three Governing Inquisitors in the Inquisition.

During the creation of the Fortress Bastion, The Great Ruler of the Nation Azathoth decided to place an Ordinance about Ranking. It was a Ranking based on Merit, and it was also something that created the Three Governing Inquisitors of the Inquisition. It was the Famous Trio, Luna, Max, and Capita. The Strongest Inquisitors and the Famous Captains. 

"It is nice to meet you, Diplomats of the Four Nations. The Great Rulers of your Respective Nations had already told my Master of your Arrival. Follow me." Luna said with a Cold and Monotone Voice. She then walked back to the Metallic Door, which leads deep within the Fortress Bastion. The Diplomats looked at each other as they followed Luna without any resistance. 

They looked at the Beautiful Demon in front of them had numerous thoughts passing through their minds. Though, while the Diplomats walked in the Metallic and Futuristic Hallway, The Diplomats had one opinion that resembled each other. It passed through Three of the Diplomats except for the Spirit Lady. 'So this is a Demon.' Such thought passed through their minds as they couldn't help but find Luna beautiful. 

'She is powerful and a beauty at that. I heard that most Inquisitors in the Nation of Azathoth are females.' Malgon thought to himself as he gazed upon Luna. 'Maybe, that rumor is correct.' Such a thought passed through his mind as he continued walking along with the Diplomats. 

'The Nation of Azathoth, The New Demon Nation of the Great Forest, Owner of the Occidental Region, and the Fifth Power of the Pentagon Union. Despite having low numbers, Each of their members is Higher in terms of Quality. Not only that, but they solved their Population Problems by using Golems as a temporary solution.' Sella thought as she looked at Luna. 

'I heard that the previous evolution of the Demons was a Wolf Species known as Silver Wolves. They evolved into a New Species of Wolf and slowly turned into its Demonic Counter Part. If not for the Demonic Influence, They might get considered as Members of the Beastfolk Species.' Aurora thought to herself. Though, she understood it would be impossible to remove Demonic Influence. 

Not only that, Aurora was sure that the Demonic Influence wasn't harming them, but instead, it was making them evolve into a higher species, which explains their High Quality. So simply speaking. There was no need to take out their Demonic Influence. It would also be an act of war which would be foolish. 

As they walked through the Metallic and Futuristic Hallway, The Diplomats and Luna arrived at a Metallic Gate, which led to the Giant Elevator. They entered through the Metallic Gate and met with a Dozen of Drones and a Single Inquisitor. "Governor Luna." The Inquisitor lightly bowed as Luna looked at her with a smile and nodded. 

The Inquisitor silently gazed upon the Diplomats with a Cold Expression. The Diplomats could feel her stare as they noticed that her strength wasn't something to get underestimated. As the Elevator stopped pulling itself onto the top, The Inquisitor quietly exited the Elevator along with the Drones.

The Diplomats found themselves in silence as the Elevator continued going upwards. It took a while, but the Elevator finally arrived at the Most top Floor of the Fortress Bastion. Luna exited the Elevator first as the Diplomats followed her. The Diplomat Soldiers didn't follow them during the entire journey as only Diplomats got allowed to enter the Fortress Bastion. 

The Diplomats, once again, walked in a Metallic and Futuristic Hallway, though the Current Hallway was different. It was Gigantic compared to the Last One. It also resembled a Fantasy Demon King Hallway. Which was irking for the Diplomats as the Pressure within the Hallway got stronger and stronger as they continued walking through it. Though, unfortunately, as Diplomats, they have to continue smiling. 

The Diplomats arrived at the Gigantic Door leading to the Throne Room. Luna stood idly in front of the Door as Gears started echoing within the Gigantic Door. The Doors slowly opened as Luna entered along with the Diplomats. The Diplomats saw Gigantic Tall Dark Pillars with Numerous Runes plastered upon them. They also noticed the Dark Miasma covering the Throne Room, though that wasn't the most surprising thing. 

The Diplomats gazed upon the Demonic Throne as they saw a Young Girl with Silver White Hair and Golden Amber Eyes. She wasn't scary, nor was she cold. But the Pressure escaping from her body was enough to weaken the Diplomats. They were sure that the Young Girl in front of them was the Great Ruler of Azathoth, Persia. 

"Kneel upon the Lord of Azathoth..." A Voice echoed as Luna kneeled.. The Diplomats followed her as the meeting between the Diplomats and Persia finally began.
