"So you are the one who is making a mess of the Human Kingdom, can you let this old man know who you are Lady? In all of my life, you are the first person that I have seen from the Beast Race who is capable of doing something to this degree. Not even your greatest has the power to break apart a whole Galaxy, because they are only at the level of a Divine Level beast and can have the power of destroying a Galaxy, but never in my life have I heard a Beast have achieved that rank. So can you tell me who you are Lady and what is your purpose in destroying our Kingdom?" Elder Yu asked coldly while looking at Yuki with squinted eyes, he was trying hard to examine her, to read Yuki, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't. She was just blank, simply unreadable.
He can't even distinguish what Rank was Yuki in currently which makes him feel uncomfortable, he is a smart person, and if he knows that she is far stronger than him, he will revert to a much calmer manner, he will not try to do anything stupid such as offending the person in front of her. That is why, he decided to play it safe for now and tried to get some information out of Yuki first because there was a chance that he would get some clues about her. Elder Bai was the same, he didn't act arrogant or haughty, and he treated Yuki with some level of respect.
"You don't need to concern yourself with who I am. You are not in a position where you can ask me who I am, you are simply not worthy. Anyways, as for the other question. I can answer that, I need some sacrifices because of some things, and I think I don't need to say anything more, right?" Yuki answered coldly while looking behind her where Amane was still currently trying to absorb all of the Fragments as well as the Galaxy Core. That helped a lot because it boosted things by at least 50% because of it alone. Though she estimated that it would still need at least a full day for the process to be complete, there is also the phase where she needs to heal Amane's physical body.
"Aren't you being too arrogant right now? Did you really think that you can use human sacrifices for your own gain? Then, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are wrong Lady. We Humans are not something you can just use as livestock." Elder Bai responded coldly, he didn't like it one bit when the woman in front of him was talking as if they were just some food or tools for her to use. He felt like he was being looked down on, but much worse because she didn't even look at them as living beings, she merely thought of them as Humans as sacrifices or food.
"Fufufu… that is really funny you know? You Humans are really the most hypocritical beings in this vast world. Now that the situation has been reversed, you are talking as if what I'm doing is a bad thing right now, but aren't you just doing the same? You Humans use us as livestock for you to eat, to survive because you need to eat to survive of course, especially if you are still not an Immortal. You need food and water to survive, so tell me honestly, what is wrong with what I'm doing? I'm just doing what you have been doing for years, I'm using your lives as food for myself, Is there something wrong about that?" At this moment, or maybe it was a long time ago already, Yuki has already let go that she was Human before and completely embraced that she was now a Beast.
Their looks completely darkened as they couldn't say anything back because Yuki's every word struck them deep inside of their hearts because it was simply the truth. Humans use Beasts as livestock to survive since they need to eat. But they wouldn't simply back down because of such words, their pride as Humans simply wouldn't let them, but before they could even say anything, Yuki was already ahead of them.
"But of course, who am I to tell you this? Since we're also doing the same, we also eat our fellow Beast, we resolve to cannibalism in order to survive, so it's also hypocritical of me to say it right? That is what you were just thinking, though I gotta say, you are still too narrow-minded. We are entirely the same after all because… at least we gave our prayers to those we kill for food and if we deem that it is not needed to eat meat, then we will just eat fruits and vegetables. Though really, it's up to you, since of course all of us have different views on the ways of the world, but can you do this world a favor and not be mad when we Beast do the same to you?" Yuki answered casually and even in a mocking tone while looking down at all of them with her cold eyes and even though they couldn't see anything on her face, they felt shivers after knowing that she was staring at all of them coldly.
"Enough of this non-essential talk. Let's go back to our original conversation. Leave this place now and I will spare all of your lives, or else you will meet death if you stay any longer. I'm a very impatient person, so choose wisely. If you leave right now, I might even give you some gifts as well." Yuki spoke up after a while. If they were to leave right now it would make a lot of things easier for her since she could cause some ruckus inside of the Human Kingdom that could eventually lead to their foundation getting weaker which would make things a lot easier for her to control them. To make it easier for her to control them, she let out a little bit of her Bloodlust and directed it at them.
"Then if we leave right now, will you promise us to not slaughter our Race anymore?" Elder Bai doesn't have any choice but to compromise on what Yuki wants because he also wants the best for the Human Race, and that is why he wants to strike a deal with Yuki to not kill anyone anymore.
"Slaughter? I think you are misunderstanding something here, Elder Bai, I didn't kill anyone in your Race, I merely said all of those to correct your views because it was wrong. As for the thing behind me. Yes, it was me who caused this Galaxy to be destroyed, but I destroyed it only because there were no lifeforms on there anymore. Did you think that I was the Master of those beasts who killed your Race?" Yuki asked in a curious tone as she waited for them to answer, she sounded as if she was confused about their questioning.
"Don't lie to us! You said that you were not the Master of those Ice Beasts, but that Ice Beast around you is clearly one of them!!" Elder Yu yelled after hearing what Yuki just said, he didn't believe her words one bit.
"Haiss… why do you Humans don't listen when someone says something? Just like I said, there has been a misunderstanding about this. I already said it once, but I'm going to say it again, I'm not the one who killed the Humans on that Galaxy, I merely destroyed it after finding that there are no lifeforms in it. Also, my Ice Beast is not the same as those Ice Beasts that killed your Race. This is what killed your Race." Yuki sighed as she brought one of her Ice Beasts but it was chained up to make it more believable, it was even acting like a mindless savage Beast who wanted to kill anyone in sight.
"This thing is just so ferocious, I really wonder though, who in their right mind would create them?" Yuki muttered to herself in disgust as she even looked at the Ice Beast as if they were trash and this is something that they felt, it seemed to them that she resented these Beasts and was disgusted at them.
"Is what the Lady saying is true? You are not the one behind the killing of our Race?" Both Elders still have their doubts and they still can't help but ask one more time just to make sure that what Yuki is saying is real.
"Yes, why would I make these things just to kill you guys? I'm not so bloodthirsty you know? Plus, I don't even have an Ice Element, I control Fire and Space." Yuki answered coldly. She even let out a wisp of blue fire which only made it more believable and when they heard her cold voice, they somehow felt bad because they pinned an innocent person for the death of their Race. But they find something weird about her words and they couldn't help but ask one more time to confirm their suspicions.
"Did you just say make? These Beasts are not one of your Race?" Elder Bai asked with a pale face, Elder Yu had the same reaction and just waited for the worst outcome, they already found that something was weird about the Ice Beast that attacked them, and now it only confirmed it even more.
Yuki smiled behind her mask as she sighed and gave an answer to their question.
"Oh, you don't know? These things are not from our Race because they were hand-made, someone deliberately made them and attacked you guys. As for who it was, I don't know. But it seems like they were trying to cause some conflicts between us, the Beast and Humans." Yuki acted as if she was surprised and said those words that made the two Elders pale even further.
"What the… Who would do this?" Elder Yu and Elder Bai were shocked to the core after learning the truth and they trusted Yuki's words because there was simply no other way to explain it. They also know that her Ice Beast was different from the ones who attacked her, and even her reasoning for causing conflicts between them was a good point.
"You do know that you guys have a lot of enemies right?" Yuki answered lightly.
"Yeah, the Lady is right… We're sorry, we are in the wrong this time. We apologize if we offended the Lady, I hope she doesn't take it to heart and forgive us this time." Elder Yu can only apologize to Yuki after knowing the truth about the attack.
"Oh don't worry, the two of you seem reasonable enough. I won't make it hard for you. Also, I will compensate for this Galaxy that I have destroyed with some information and advice that might be useful for you." Yuki just smiled and didn't find their actions offensive at all. She was even willing to give them some advice and information that would help them a lot, especially in their current desperate time of need.
"Like I said, you guys have a lot of enemies, so you better have your guard up. Also, you better be ready for the next wave of attack from the enemy. I can already tell that they are not going to stop with just this, I'm sure you also understand this right? So be ready at all times so that you can at least lessen that damage. And lastly… the other Race might take this as a chance to attack you while you are at your weakest, so you can expect some Race will attack you in a few years." Yuki explained to them her thoughts which enlightened their minds because her words were nothing but reasonable because all of them were simply reasonable. They knew that it was reasonable because it was the truth, they had a lot of enemies who would wish for their downfall.
"How can we repay the Lady for her kind words? You have enlightened us, please tell us if you need something from us, we would be glad to help you." Both Elders look at each other before thanking Yuki from the bottom of their hearts.
"There's no need to repay me, though you can do something for me. Leave the Beast Race of your trouble, the Beast Race doesn't want any trouble right now. So don't drag them down with your troubles." Yuki said what she wanted from them, which is something very easy to do and the two Elders didn't hesitate and promised that they would never drag the Beast Race to this mess.
"Oh yes, I did say that I would compensate you for the Galaxy Core that I have destroyed. You can take this as compensation for what I did~" Yuki smiled as she handed them a blue book which confused the Elders, but when they opened it they were utterly shocked.
"This…"
