In the central area of the Ruel Beast Den of Old Dimension, there was a magnificent city built with three-hundred-meter-tall steel walls, and the walls were weaponized with magic cannons and magic turrets.
In this city center was a beautiful mansion called the Lord Mansion by the denizens, and right under this lord mansion was a massive underground plaza, and many small rooms were built in rows around a single glowing object.
It was a diamond-shaped platinum color crystal, and it emitted powerful undulation and rich energy into the atmosphere, making this place heaven for cultivators.
All those rooms around it were built probably because of this exact reason. That platinum crystal was none other than the Platinum Dimension Core of Ruel Beast Den of Old Dimension.
At this moment, the core suddenly trembled violently, emitting strong platinum waves as if it was agitating.
Thereupon, an enthralling figure appeared right beside the dimension core like a ghost and looked at the trembling dimension core with her icy snake pupils in security. She was 2'1-meter-tall, with pale white skin, and there were triangular scales like jade were present on her skin and around her long slender neck, and some of them were right under her snake eyes, giving her perfectly shaped face a venomous charm. Lastly, there were two small black horns growing above her inky head, and she wore ancient-style robes which fully showcased her slim figure.
She suddenly moved her slender hand and touched the dimension core with a faint frown, and the next moment, her snake eyes widened with shock because she suddenly heard a sharp voice ringing in her head.
"[K-kill…de…devour… t-the… stig-ma…]"
A broken string of words rang in her mind as if it was the first time someone was trying to speak, and she couldn't hide her shock because those voices were coming from the dimension core, which shouldn't be possible.
However, she was now the master of this core after she killed its previous owner, and she could sense the dimension core was agitated and even excited, but a dimension core speaking was a first for her.
As someone who had conquered multiple dimensions before, she knew how absurd it was.
Nevertheless, she focused and listened as those broken words got clearer and clearer by the second, and finally, they became fully comprehensible.
"[Kill the Invader… h-help me devour the o-ori…gn… follow the Stigma!]
"[M-must win… there w-ill be… rewards…many… unimaginable…r-rewards!]"
"Kill the invader? Do you want me to kill those primitive magic beasts? I can't understand the rest. What stigma and what rewards? Tell me more!" She tried to communicate with it as she clearly didn't understand the rest of its words.
It was an extremely strange turn of events which seemed to be something amazing since there were some sort of rewards involved. She even thinks that this dimension is extremely special.
The only invaders in this place were the Ice Lions. Although her side was also considered invaders, now that she was the master of this dimension core, they might not fall in the same category as invaders anymore.
Although those guys were quite good pawns to collect the rare and exotic resources of another world, as long as she could get some extremely rare reward, she didn't mind slaughtering them all.
The thing about the dimension entrance was that it was always random, and the exit only appeared closer to the dimension's heart zone. But the exit will lead the people to the same place from where they had entered, not into the other world.
Simply put, the Ice Lions will always leave in the Behemoth World even if they enter with these people together while they will appear in their own world.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm It was an iron law that couldn't be changed no matter what, and that's why the intelligent species would rather subdue the weaker side or start trading with the other world natives.
One could say a dimension was also a hub that could connect two different worlds and then be used as an exchange platform between the worlds. That's why dimension conquering was a top priority for any side because the weak side would always fall at a disadvantage.
But some crazy guys would directly destroy the dimension cores if they found that defeat was on the horizon. However, there was also another danger in doing that. It was that the side that destroyed the dimension core would be the side the dimension space would merge back into, and with it, all the people present!
This means if, by any chance, an extremely powerful person ended up dragged into their world, it would be a disaster for the entire world!
That's they each side would prefer negotiation and avoid the distraction of a dimension core at any cost. It was for both long-term benefits and mindless killing.
Yet some races would turn the other side into slaves and never let them return. The humans from the Regal World followed this mindset because of the temples' influences.
But some species from the same races avoid this and even help the weaker side to grow since they think of them as their own and invest in them for even more benefits.
This woman's race was the latter as they were investing in the Ice Lion, and they hadn't disappointed them. But if she could get something unexpected, she didn't mind turning ruthless since, in front of benefits, nothing else mattered.
The dimension core's voice became clear, and words were more fluent.
"[Find the stigma and kill it! It is already outside the walls!]"
The woman's expression changed by this unexpected revelation, "Wait, what do you mean outside the walls? What is this stigma?"
But right at this moment, an ethereal voice filled with supremacy rang in her ears. Not just hers, but every single being present in the city heard that voice and was shocked as well as horrified because they felt a strange fear in that voice.
"Dimension dwells. I, Lust Emperor, come here for the Dimension Core. Peaceful, get out of my way and submit to my wishes or… perish under my sword!"
