Chapter 883: Chapter 883: Everything Is Disappearing
Two months later.
Draconic Heaven.
"GET OUT!"
*BAM!*
A chair flew out of the Imperial Palace of the Emperor.
The chair smashed through the walls and windows, seemingly very durable as it flew out faster than the speed of light.
Around the palace, multiple Creation Dragons coiled and swirled as they patrolled the vicinity.
A few of the serpent-like dragons immediately landed on the ground as they sensed something.
They curled their long serpentine bodies and their antlers glowed with the light of different powers.
All of a sudden, a violent visible wave of Creation Essence surged out from the center of the Imperial Palace, lighting up all the windows and literally making all the walls transparent.
The power wave was so violent that when the creation essence calmed down, all that could be seen was the lower two levels of the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace was formerly ten Levels tall.
Now, those dragon guards who had shot to the ground found themselves to be extremely lucky, having survived such an ordeal.
As for the source of that violent wave of power, it was none other than the Creation Dragon Primordial.
"ALL OF YOU! I SAID....GET OUT!"
Emperor Zain bellowed at the top of his voice, his chest filled with anger.
He hovered in the air space that the ninth level of the Imperial Palace had been and brimmed with power in his humanoid form.
Silver energy constantly flowed out from his mouth, nose, and eyes, causing him to look like an angelic demon that had just escaped from a million-year-old seal.
His chest rose and fell without rhythm and his face was squeezed into an ugly grimace.
Not daring to disobey the Emperor’s orders, the dragon guards all hopped into the air and flew away.
Soon, Emperor Zain was the only one left on his Imperial Island.
"How," the Emperor muttered after calming himself down and looking around at what he had done.
He slowly descended to the ground and brushed his sleeves away.
"How did she do it?" Emperor Zain asked himself. His tone was still filled with a mix of despair, confusion, and anger.
One could only wonder who it had been to make him so angry.
Emperor Zain who was usually calm and almost no one had ever seen him angry in that last one hundred thousand years.
But that record had been broken by someone. She had pushed him to a state where he really wanted to just rip out his beard and hair.
This was the type of anger creators had when they watched their precious structures and creations crumble before their eyes.
It was the despair of seeing so many errors in one’s system and not being able to fix them.
It was the confusion that came when he didn’t even know what exactly he was supposed to do.
And, there was a little flame of fear that blossomed in his heart that made him rethink every decision he had made so far.
Emperor Zain’s eyes fell to the floor and he thought to himself and asked where he had gone wrong.
He had always imagined that after not listening to the demands of the All-King, he should expect a heavenly invasion.
After all, it wasn’t like invading heaven was a new concept. Sekan, Ibadon, and even Noel had done it.
They just hadn’t done it with the intention of Conquering and permanently occupying the heavenly realm.
So even though Emperor Zain knew that Kael could attempt what he did with Hive Heaven, he was not fearful.
He had been preparing for such and had even been secretly training as many immortal-level dragons as he could.
Of course, his biggest source of confidence was the immortals who had left Original Heaven and had come to help him out.
Although these dragons were not many and there were fewer than a thousand of them with only one being at the Supreme Level Immortal tier, it should have been more than enough.
There was also the fact that Emperor Zain already planned on seeking the assistance of the Feline Council as they shared a common enemy in the lions.
Although they weren’t world conquerors, the dragons were civilized and had their own Vassals in the form of Wyverns, Drakes, Wyrms, and some dragon-related creatures.
So, the Vassals of the Lion Hegemony did not scare the Creation Dragons.
They continued hunting the Destruction Dragons and continued keeping the Horses as captives.
The Creation Dragons were so bold that they even hunted the remnants of the Destruction Dragon race until they entered the territories of the lions and their vassals.
Now, most of the lions maintained whatever territories they had in the main universe through their vassals. But they had also begun a massive migration at some point and were moving entire planets into the Alphaverse.
This was a development that was noticed by everyone keeping an eye on the lions and there was not much that could be done against it other than to fight back.
Back to the Creation Dragons. After they thought that they could continue their ways without facing consequences from the lions, they were finally struck by misfortune.
Emperor Zain and his imperial ministers failed to be apprehensive. They shouldn’t have let their guards down.
They had expected that Kael would just lead his army of lions and vassals to invade Draconic Heaven.
He should have investigated the reason why Kael did not end up doing that, because that was really what Kale wanted to do.
Alas, Katari had awoken at the right time and held him back.
That was why the Creation Dragons assumed that they could get away with ignoring the lion’s demands.
There was a delay but the deathly scythes of the lions came down swift and without mercy.
At first, it started like a dream. One fleet of arkships disappeared when they were chasing after some Destruction Dragons.
It was weird.
How did it even happen?
Both the Destruction Dragons and the arkships and the Creation Dragons were gone, as though they had never existed.
When the place they were last seen was investigated, all the searchers could find was a mass of spatial storms.
What had happened there?
That was just the first of a few more strange occurrences.
Things started to disappear.
Officials started to disappear.
Arkships started to disappear.
At some point, it became such a big issue because one out of every ten Creation Dragons in the Empire could argue that they had a relative who had disappeared.
That was a staggering number as that would mean that at least thirty billion Creation Dragons in total had vanished without a trace.
How could that have happened?
Emperor Zain was smart, he could obviously connect dots fast and knew about Kael.
But he couldn’t for the sake of his life think of where all those Dragons had gone to. He had even called Power Space Dragons to clear out the Spatial Storms but nothing could still be found.
It wasn’t until they started noticing that the territories of the lions and their vassals were also vanishing that they began to realise that the dragons may have been moved to the Alphaverse.
What kind of battle was this?
Was this even a fight?
Emperor Zain was losing his sanity trying to understand how he could go about fighting the mysterious enemy.
All the Heavenly Beacons for Leonine that the Creation Dragons had before were now ownerless and useless.
Despite that, the lions could still open portals into Draconic Heaven.
There seemed to be some sort of connection between the Alphaverse and the main Universe, making others understand that there might be some kind of loophole a back door to getting in but that was easier said than done.
Besides, only a suicidal fool would actually try to enter the Alphaverse without permission.
The All-King would instantly sniff the intruder out and they would be dead before they could move a few inches.
If the All-King happens to not have the energy to handle them, then the users of the system would just deal with it.
So, Emperor Zain wanted to fight the Lion Hegemony, he really did.
He had all his big guns and allies ready. He had all his trip cards set on the table.
But he couldn’t even point out where to fire the first shot.
However, that was not the main reason why he was angry.
The cause of his anger was actually a recent event.
As Emperor Zain thought of it, veins bulged on his forehead and neck.
"Fucking tyrants!" He shouted and stomped his feet on the ground in anger.
Just today, he had received news that some foreign entities had managed to sneak into Draconic Heaven without anyone noticing.
Emperor Zain did not even have time to rest or assemble a search party when he received another piece of news.
Two sections of the Creation Dragons’ empire had been raided.
The Old Horse Prison, which served as the general prison camp for all the remnants of the Horse Race.
And one of the five Imperial Nurses that was used to house the eggs of the Creation Dragons.
Both locations had been raided and swept clean with nothing left behind.
