"Hmph, show off."
Ophelia snorted when she saw this grand entrance. With a sigh, she slowly got up and stood on her legs.
Although the pressure wasn't directed towards her or any of his other women, it was still uncomfortable.
Malrik's eyes followed him. With a single step, Rahu sat on the throne. Beside him, another throne materialized, and Yveline lowered herself onto that throne, glancing down below.
"Rise"
A single word echoed, forcing the present cultivators to snap out of their dreamy state.
Looking up, they finally saw the man's face.
"In the name of the celestial spirits, what is that divine face?"
The Apsara beauty muttered under her breath, enamored by Rahu's face.
The rest of the House Leaders too stood in silence, waiting for Rahu to speak.
"Mhm, good thing everyone is gathered here. Ophelia, sweetheart, is someone missing on the list?"
Rahu turned towards Ophelia and questioned. Hearing this, Ophelia shook her head.
"Everybody you ordered is here, from the lowest lords to the highest authorities."
Rahu nodded when he heard those words, turning towards the crowd. He opened his mouth to speak.
"I am sure you are aware of why you are here?"
He spoke with a smile on his face. Hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment before the Asura House Leader opened his mouth.
"My Lord, you summoned us for your announcement of the creation of a unified empire."
He said with his head down, no, it wasn't because he wanted to, but he was forced to do so.
Behind him, the Ashenveil House Leader nodded, agreeing with him.
"Mhm, not bad. It is indeed the truth, but that's not the entire reason I have summoned all of you."
Rahu spoke, confusing everyone present. Ignoring them, he continued his words, leaning on the throne.
"From this moment on, the three worlds are under my dominion."
His voice wasn't loud, but it reverberated through every single cultivator present.
"All the previous Houses, Sects, and mid-level powers are therefore abolished."
A faint smirk tugged on the corner of his lips as he spoke those words. But their reactions were entirely different.
"WHAT!!?"
"THIS! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!"
"INDEED! ABOLISHING OUR HOUSE NAMES!!? NO WAY"
Their reaction was immediate, and honestly, nobody could blame them. The houses of Solterra and Yvaris have existed for a long time; their far ancestors were basically the forefathers of their respective worlds. How could they abolish them entirely?
Not to mention the problems that would follow from doing this.
It wasn't just the House Asura Leader who was against this. The Ashenveil Leader and the Nocthen Ancestor also voiced strong opposition.
From the side of Solterra, although it wasn't as great as the opposition, the Yaksha House Leader and the Elyra House Leader both stood up in shock, their heads tilting towards their fellow members.
A wave of unrest ripped through the vast hall, breaking the fragile silence that was teetering on the brink of the cliff.
Malrik remained silent when he saw this. Although he thought it was too much, it would be far more foolish to speak out against Rahu at this moment.
And it wasn't just him; Lucy's mother also stayed quiet, observing the situation. Looking up, she still saw him smiling.
A chill ran through her spine when she saw this, "T-These fools! Do they not realise who is sitting in front of them?"
Despite that, she hurriedly backed off and glared at her House Elders, who were about to speak their thoughts about dissatisfaction.
Hearing those voices, Rahu's smile widened. Raising his hand, he silenced every single voice in the hall.
"Those who are dissatisfied with my decision can come forward and stand together."
The moment the cultivators heard his voice, they gulped collectively. The group of men who had opposed Rahu earlier suddenly found themselves in a pinch.
But men, especially men with immense power and authority, were always drunk.
Drunk in their planetary-sized ego, and when someone strikes their dignity by stepping on their pride, the ego awakens.
And that is exactly what happened next: ego won, and logic lost. The men who had earlier spoken against him stepped forward with a few of their staunch supporters.
They were the Asuras, the Ashenveils, the Yakshas, and finally House Elyra. All of them stood together.
"Heh, good. At least you have some courage."
Rahu nodded in appreciation before waving his hand. In an instant, all of their heads burst open! The blood and gore stained the floor.
Hissss!!!
The present cultivators couldn't help but take a step back in horror when they saw this scene. Their knees weakened as they saw how he killed them with a wave of his hand.
Eryx's pupils trembled violently; his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.
No warning, no techniques, just death.
He still had PTSD from the inheritance realm, where he saw him slaughtering millions and millions of cultivators.
Malrik clenched his fists as his breath became uneven.
No one dared speak a word.
"Not bad"
Rahu nodded again, with yet another wave of his hand, a wave of Death and Dimensional energy left his hand, merging with their bodies.
And under the horrifying eyes of every present cultivator, the heads, which had burst open earlier, suddenly moved!
Within a second, their muscles twitched, their blood reversed, and their heads regrew!
But the next second, their skin became incredibly pale.
"My…fucking…god"
Malrik staggered back when he saw the scene before him. It was simply a nightmare, a cosmic nightmare.
The Asura House Leader's body extended, becoming 280 meters tall!
His face twitched and slowly shifted, becoming symmetrical and perfect.
His skin was no longer brown and rough; it transformed into a pale void, which wasn't quite white but felt slightly empty.
But his eyes were pure black with faint, rotating, dimensional rings. It was as if there was no depth inside them.
Their hair was a mixture of void black and silver-white, occasionally shifting colours. Their mere presence distorted the space around them.
And in that moment, a cold realization struck Malrik straight in the face. These beings were no longer human. They had become something else entirely!
Sculpted from The Death itself and stitched with the mysterious dimensions. These beings…they just felt wrong.
