Heaven, Earth, Me

Back on the surface of the planet, the governments were in complete disarray. Because of technological advancements and the development of powerful and extremely long-range weapons, any power that was situated in a large patch of land had space-detector measures. All high-energy signals were instantly captured by the several satellites and sensors scattered around both the land and space.

When our girls moved out into outer space, their terrifying energy signals alerted almost all sensors in the surroundings. Hence, many observation centers pointed their telescopes toward that location. At first, they barely saw the ship floating there. However, as they were about to zoom in, a massive dragon manifested from nothing.

The shock that most people received was such that they actually froze. Only those quick on their feet reacted and sent instant emergency messages to their superiors while activating the recording functions.

At first, no one believed the messages. A Continental Lord looked at it and had a weird expression. “A dragon is fighting in outer space against another dragon and a horse-dragon-like creature? What, is someone messing with me?”

The Continental Lord saw that the observatory was requesting permission to stream what they were observing. She became doubtful. After all, this could be a trap or someone trying to hack into her main computer. Still, the Continental Lord’s curiosity won over safety. ‘Well… If there is someone who is asking for death, I’ll just search for them and kill them.’

So, she clicked on the video. The second the image of Yasenia fighting Vairon and Fylia entered her eyes, the Continental Lord’s eyes widened to such an extent that one would fear that their eyeballs would pop out. “W-What!?”

Suddenly, she remembered what she had heard from her recent informants. ‘Wasn’t there a group of alien creatures that had landed on that Regional Lord’s territory?’ Her face became thoughtful as she looked at the fight on her monitor.

Suddenly, chains appeared out of nowhere and coiled around the rampaging dragon, stopping its movements. ‘Oh? They have a way to control this massive beast?’

She stood up and hummed. ‘I need to go and check it out personally.’ She thought for a second, and recalling the brutal fight, she commanded. “Prepare the main fleet. We are departing in twenty minutes.”

Similar to her, other Lords also decided to go and check the situation.

Meanwhile, in outer space, Tatyana and the other girls suddenly frowned. Their Spiritual Sense was stretched out, covering the outer layer of the world to check for approaching dangers. Thanks to the void of Space, spreading it enough to cover the entire planet’s outer atmosphere was not much of a problem.

Cecile picked her bow and looked around coldly. “Why are so many of those metal ships coming our way?”

Kali looked at the details, and she spoke, her soft and glossy lips moving gently. “I think that many powers have noticed Yasenia’s fight with Vairon and Fylia. Taking into account what Tatyana told us about the arrogance of the Continental Lords, I wouldn’t be surprised if they came to check.”

Evelyn agreed. “That’s the most probable scenario. Yasenia is still out of it, so should we warn them not to approach? Their weapons are not that strong, but an ant colony can topple down an elephant.”

Vairon had transformed back into his human form already, standing by Andrea’s side. His tall and muscular body had a few wounds caused by Yasenia’s attack, but they only made him look more manly and handsome. “While an ant colony can topple an elephant, a dragon is another matter altogether.”

Evelyn rolled her eyes. “It’s a way of speaking. Also, they are not ants.”

Vairon snorted. “How are they not ants? A group of mortals is nothing but a bunch of ants.”

Andrea raised her gloved hand and descended it on Vairon’s head.

CONG!

“Don’t underestimate them. Their weapons are not so weak that we can ignore them all.”

Vairon turned his head and nodded. “Understood.”

Looking at his nonchalant position, the girl’s eyebrows twitch. ‘Did he not feel that strike? How tough is he!?’

Some of the maids returned to the ship and activated the battle formations, bringing all the weapons online. Meanwhile, the rest moved and surrounded the chained dragoness. Tatyana looked at Valeria and spoke. “If they look like they are about to fire at us, summon a bunch of creatures to tank their attacks. We can overwhelm them with numbers.”

A few thousand ships suddenly appeared around them, standing around 10,000 kilometers away from them. In outer space, this kind of distance was not too much, and the girls could easily see them.

The ships belonged to eight different armies. Two of them were very powerful Regional Lords, five of them were Continental Lords, and the last one was the most impressive, being the one and only World Lord.

The World Lord’s army was visually more imposing than any other of the fleets, and even the threat they possessed was enough to make our girls raise an eyebrow. Alaia commented. “Lady Tatyana, a few of those ships are emitting quite potent energy signals.”

Tatyana nodded and rubbed her chin. “A few of their weapons might be able to pose a threat to us. Of course, that’s if they are able to hit, which I find quite impossible. Still, we should keep an eye on them.”

Finally, the deep voice of a man spread around them. “Welcome from afar. I’ve delayed it for a while, but now that you’ve created this kind of commotion, you left me with no other choice but to come here.”

Tatyana took the leadership position of the group and looked toward the ship that spread that message. She was curious about the technology that allowed them to communicate, but she didn’t poke into it. “How about presenting yourself before acting as you are? Quite an arrogant tone you are using in front of us. Aren’t you afraid that your entire fleet will explode into pretty fireworks?”

Everyone from the Human Empire’s side sucked in a cold breath, not expecting this person to be so arrogant even in front of the World Lord!

“Is she crazy? Doesn’t she understand what kind of might a World Lord possesses?”

“Tsk. They think that just because they’ve come from afar, they have the advantage. Just a bunch of ignorant people.”

“Shut up.” The Lords of the ships where that kind of discourse started angrily stopped them. “Can’t you see where we are and where they are?”

The people frowned before their neurons finally made a useful electrical spark. “Huh? Aren’t they in outer space? How can they be standing there without suits, wearing just a few dresses and robes?”

Meanwhile, the World Lord sitting on his ship’s chair squinted. He asked around. “What kind of strength do you think they have?”

A beautiful woman at the side spoke coldly. “Our technology can’t read their energy signals. We are unable to perceive the energy signals of the giant dragon as well. However, I doubt there is someone as strong as you, My Lord.”

The World Lord hummed and glanced at the woman. “Aren’t there other World Lords? Or did that fact just go over your head? Not to mention our Supreme Lord’s strength is unfathomable.”

The woman shook her head. “How could they compare? My Lord is a mystical mix of unparalleled strength, talent, and coincidence. Only the Supreme Lord is stronger due to their peerless strength. Even other World Lords fall short in comparison to you, My Lord.” She looked at Tatyana’s group with disdain and snorted. “These people are just frogs at the bottom of a well.”

The World Lord listened but refrained from making any comments. Instead, he spoke into the microphone to communicate back with the group. “I am Velamir, Feldur World’s World Lord. Name yourselves.”

Tatyana’s eyebrow raised, and a sneer appeared on her lips. “You are arrogant to dare order me around.”

The girls also wore cold expressions, not happy that this man was ordering Tatyana around. Who was Tatyana? A supreme powerhouse that could probably snap her fingers and make this world disappear if she were here with her main body. Still, Tatyana thought of the spring that she wanted to investigate and stopped herself from teaching him a lesson.

Instead, she spoke back indifferently. “I am the Death Empress. I rule over several worlds and have conquered creatures with might you can’t even fathom. Now, I won’t get angry at your rude attitude. However, I expect some respect after I’ve explained myself this once. If you don’t, I might become annoyed and eliminate a part of your army to quell my annoyance.”

The World Lord blinked a few times and then heard laughter bursting around him. “This woman is insane, no?”

“She probably has gone crazy with arrogance.”

“How can someone lie so well and appear so imposing at the same time? Ridiculous, does she think she is a goddess or something?”

However, the World Lord didn’t dismiss her words completely. ‘Death Empress… Such a title is not gained doing righteous actions. Hm… I need to be careful and not offend this person.’

Velamir hummed and answered. “Lady Tatyana speaks as such, I will take it into account. However, you speak grandly, and it is hard to believe. I hope you don’t mind my skepticism toward your claims.”

Tatyana snorted. “Oh, but I do. If this eminence speaks, you shall believe it. If not, only dire consequences await. For example, do you think you could stop this being by my side with your measly army?” Tatyana’s lips arched ever so faintly as she commented. “If your answer is yes, I could let her loose and see how good you all do against her. After all, she is a bit angry and needs to vent.”

Everyone from the opposite side became silent as they moved their gaze toward the gargantuan dragon. The red eyes full of bloodlust and wrath made their hearts shudder with fear. Moreover, most of the Lords have already seen the battle of that dragon and the other creatures. Hence, they also knew that her might was not something they could take lightly.

Velamir answered. “We don’t want conflict with that creature. The fact that you’ve captured it and not killed it means that its existence is of value to you. We wouldn’t want to kill it by accident and strangle our relationship.”

“Kill it?” Tatyana and the other girls burst into laughter. If they truly thought that they could kill Yasenia after seeing her fight, they could only label them as brainless. Still, since the other party has taken a step back, although for the wrong reasons, Tatyana decided to give them leeway. “Lord Velamir, speak. For what reason have you come here with such a large army by your side?”

Velamir spoke at this time. “As I said, I am presenting myself and letting you know of my existence. I would also like to chat with you if you don’t mind. The army is just a backup in case that dragon escapes the chains around it.”

“Fine.” Tatyana nodded. “We’ll go once we deal with our matters. We want to pacify her, if not, disaster might fall on your World.”

Velamir didn’t have a problem with that. Still, he added. “We’ll leave some ships to keep an eye out, in case she escapes. I hope you understand.”

Tatyana waved her hand. “Whatever.”
