Chapter 1549: Blood Supreme
The entire process lasted for six hours. When it finally came to an end, everyone could only watch Queenie with horrified eyes.
First of all, the aura surrounding her as she stood at the Peak of the Supreme stage made even King Alric, who was already a Celestial, feel small before her.
She was now seated upon a blood-red throne, a red-bladed sword hovering before her. Behind her stood two humanoids, each devoid of emotion. Even Klaus could not sense anything from them.
Away from that, her red hair was now longer than even her body. More chillingly, as the crimson strands flowed behind her, they danced in the air as though they possessed lives of their own.
Two red horns could now be seen on her forehead, and her Dual Pupils, one red and the other black, felt like swords stabbing into the hearts of anyone who met her gaze.
She was clad in red leather armor that covered her all the way up to her neck. Her slender legs were covered by black leather trousers, while her boots were laced all the way to her knees.
She sat with her legs crossed, her right fist supporting her chin as she scanned Klaus and everyone inside the Puppet Workshop.
Behind her hovered a massive five-layered ring. It oozed the power of blood, yet there was something soul-related hidden within it.
Klaus remained standing at the side with his arms crossed over his chest as he watched his wife go through her changes for another thirty minutes before she finally sighed.
She stood up, and the throne and sword vanished. Her armor also transformed into a red cloak adorned with countless ornaments and runes.
The humanoids vanished as well.
"Thank you, Klaus," Queenie said, planting a kiss on Klaus’s lips.
"How do you feel?"
"Powerful," she answered with a proud smile.
Klaus smiled as well. "So on a scale of one to ten, if you were to face 100,000 Supremes, how long would it take you to dispose of them?"
Queenie smirked and replied, "Provided I don’t use [Blood Manipulation], [Wailing Blood Domain], and [Sword of Death], then thirty minutes would be more than enough."
Klaus laughed and turned to face the old man, who looked as though his no-good son was about to conspire against him. "How long would it take you to claim his life?"
"Klaus!" Queenie grabbed his ear, clearly having no intention of answering his question.
Seeing this, King Alric smiled and gave Queenie a thumbs-up in his heart while cursing the brat who used him as a measuring stick.
If only the poor man knew Queenie could put him down in less than ten minutes, perhaps he wouldn’t have given his daughter-in-law that thumbs-up.
"I am glad you are now stronger than ever." Klaus was genuinely pleased. With Queenie’s strength now, unless someone stronger than a Celestial appeared, she could roam freely throughout this universe.
"What were the two humanoids that stood behind you?"
"They are my Blood Guards. They grow with me and die with me."
Klaus didn’t ask much since he had seen something like that before. It was said that when one had more than enough energy in their core, some of it would manifest into weapons, armor, skills, or, in some cases, guards.
These guards wouldn’t possess the natural instincts humans did. No matter how sneaky an attack was, they would always be able to protect their master.
In other words, Queenie would now have to die three times before actually dying. That was a bonus in Klaus’s opinion.
"So what next?" Klaus asked after they stepped down from the platform.
"I will first wait for Tifa, Ohema, Asha, Nadia, and big sister Lunara to become Supremes too. Then I will find the three people I hid the key to the miniature universe within.
"Once I get them, I will head to the Chaos Cave with them to open the miniature universe. So depending on how fast you can make them Supremes, in a year or two, the Asura Race will return to this universe."
"Why not take all your sisters along? You know, the more the merrier."
"That would depend on whether or not you can make all of us Supremes within a year."
Klaus furrowed his brows. "Why the rush? Or is there something I am missing?"
Queenie gave Klaus a long and hard look before smiling.
"It seems you still don’t have all your memories back, or maybe they are incomplete. In any case, two years from now, the seal I used to imprison the Chaos Beasts will come undone, and they will attack this universe again."
"Huh? This wasn’t part of the futures I saw."
"Because this isn’t part of your destiny. Or have you forgotten who led the charge against the Chaos Race?" Queenie wanted to tease Klaus, but she decided to let him rest for now. "The point is, this is my destiny, and so I need the Asura Race to complete what we started.
"Of course, my sisters and I, alongside the legion, can handle this threat. However, I want to redeem the Asura Race’s name by finally putting an end to the threat of the Chaos Beasts."
"I understand. I will do my best to make the majority of you Supremes within a year."
"Thank you."
Klaus walked her back to the side and turned to Vida, who was next on his list.

Meanwhile, far away in a miniature universe, a lady with flowing white hair stood atop a tower, gazing over the vast expanse of a crimson world.
Studying her aura, one could tell she had long reached the Celestial stage and even surpassed it. However, if someone met her on the road, they would think she was the most harmless person in the entire universe.
Many years ago, she foresaw the attack on the Asura Race, and with her help, every last Asura-born was saved. Her name was Sisna, the Blood Seer, and the only Asura with white hair.
Suddenly, another lady appeared on the roof and stood beside her. The new arrival had red hair and looked more mature and stronger than even Sisna.
"Mom, what are you doing here? Aren’t you part of the warriors going to attack the dungeon?"
The redhead, who went by Zila and happened to be Sisna’s mother, smirked. "Who said I have to be there to fight? With my strength, I can be in a thousand places while spending time with my favorite daughter."
Sisna smirked. "You are only saying that because big sister Siena isn’t here."
Lady Zila blushed. "I love you just as much. I love all my daughters equally."
"Oh, so Mom doesn’t love her sons?" Suddenly, two handsome redheads appeared and pouted. Looking at their uncanny resemblance, it was clear they were twins.
Jace and Jett were born in this miniature universe, so they had no idea who the Asura Queen, whom they learned was their sister, truly was. However, they trusted and believed she was an amazing person.
Sisna and Lady Zila stopped their small banter and hugged the two brothers.
"Mom, when can we leave this place? I want to see the world outside," Jett said, sounding a bit spoiled, thanks to all the pampering he had received.
Sisna turned to her mother and gave her a small nod.
"It won’t be long now, Jett. Your big sister is on her way to come get us."
