Rasia was the first to recover her senses, as she already experienced such tremendous killing intent before her world destruction. She quickly gathered as much energy as she can, before shouting in a loud voice to bring Ichika out of her trance.
The loud voice from Rasia, brought Ichika to her senses. But she was shocked to see the state of the spiritual herbs around her. Because of her killing intent, they are almost on the verge of dying.
She quickly took out more than 10 sovereign grade spirit stones and crushed them into powder, before blowing the powder particles to all corners of the restricted area with wind. The spiritual herbs started to absorb the energy from the particles and tried to restore minimum amount of energy.
Then she controlled life energy in the spiritual air to restore the maximum vitality of all the spiritual herbs. After that she took huge amounts of liquefied spiritual energy from the primal treasure Miracle white and made it rain on all the spiritual herbs.
The spiritual herbs started to greedily absorb the pure spiritual energy in the form of rain drops and were restored to their previous state. Some of the plants even broke through to the next grade.
Dragon King Ko, Zor and Rasia who were watching on the sidelines were completely blown away by Ichika's actions. Even though there are no Sovereign grade spirit stones on this world, they learnt about these from Rasia. Each sovereign grade spirit stone is 100 times precious than divine grade spirit stone.
But they witnessed Ichika easily crush more than 10 sovereign grade spirit stones like nothing. But that's not the end. With their cultivational level, they can clearly sense the quality of spiritual energy in these raindrops. 3 drops of this rain drops is equal to One divine grade spirit stone.
They could clearly observe with their soul sense, that each spiritual herb was able to absorb at least 10 to 20 raindrops, bringing the total to at least few million drops.
To this day, Dragon king had full pride in being the richest cultivator on this world. But today, his pride crashed like a pack of cards. Even with his enormous wealth, he will never spend so freely like Ichika.
As for Zor, his face became completely red after witnessing Ichika's action. Just the amount she used today, will make up for 10 to 20 times the amount she stole from Zone 2 to Zone 5. Now the status of Ichika is the same as his father and Rasia in his heart. He decided to sincerely apologize to her, after this meeting is over.
As for Rasia, she caught onto few things with her experience. There are very few places under creation, where you can find liquefied spiritual energy. Every drop of this spiritual energy is precious. But Ichika used close to few million droplets of this energy. It only means she either has a large supply of this energy from her teacher or she must have a treasure, which provides her with enough supply of this energy.
"Sorry for the emotional outbreak, hope I didn't scare you all"- Ichika
Scare? My Empress, we would have definitely suffered serious injuries, if Rasia sama didn't stop you in time.
"It's alright Empress Ichika. We can understand that you are concerned about your teacher"- Ko
Ichika just accepted Ko's words and then turned towards Rasia
"So what are your plans from now on ?"- Ichika
Ko, Zor and Rasia had questioning looks on their faces, as they didn't understand why is Ichika asking such question, when the answer is already there. She can stay in this restricted zone only, unless Ichika has other plans for her.
"Looks like you all are still in the dark. The news about Rasia existence already reached the Boda family. The last time, they only came here to scout about the possibility of her existence on this world. But couple of months ago, millions of their soldiers reached this world, in order to capture Rasia core and conquer this world. But sadly, I also have enmity with them, so they wanted to deal with me first, before going on with their initial plans.
Because of my breakthrough, I had to let my Son deal with them. The Boda family suffered serious casualties as they looked down on their enemies.
But this time, they are gathering full military strength from all of their subordinate worlds. This time their goal is not to conquer this world, but to completely destroy it and set us as an example for other worlds.
Even now, several sovereign level cultivators sneaked into my Empire. But they don't want to make a move yet, as they have no idea about my full strength.So they want to strike me from the shadows during the event.
But the same cannot be said about you guys, they will surely strike you as soon as mid level sovereign cultivators from Boda family arrives here"- Ichika
Dragon king Ko already expected this type of trouble, when the ten members from the Boda family escaped from him. But what he learnt today from Ichika was even more worse than he expected.
He and Ichika are the only known Sovereign level cultivators on this world. But the enemy is a sovereign ruler, with thousands of sovereigns under him. With his strength, he can easily take on 5 to 6 mid level sovereigns, but if the number increases anymore than that, then he had to self explode in order to take down as many enemies as he can.
But he is not worried about his own life or his families, he is worried about the fate of Rasia core, once she is captured. If he has to protect the Rasia core, then he has only one option left, that is to ascend to the higher worlds with Rasia core. Even then, he can only stall for time, as there is also a possibility of him personally delivering the core into the enemy hands, if he ascended to any of the sovereign rulers world.
Similar thoughts went through Rasia mind, but she is worried about the fate of this world, as she is the reason behind the invasion of this world. She already experienced mass extinction once, she doesn't want it to happen again.
"What's your enmity with the Boda family?"- Rasia
"Oh. Nothing. I just thwarted the plans of Victor Boda's son in law to take over my previous world, I hurled insults at his family and I am the main reason for the serious casualties of their soldiers two months ago"- Ichika
Zor, Dragon King Ko and Rasia started to sweat bullets at Ichika's answer. My ancestor, you caused such disasters and shame to their family and yet to claim, you did nothing? No wonder the Boda family was after your life from the start.
"Since you already know that Boda family is gathering their strength, why don't you escape from this world? I am sure you have enough strength to ascend to another world or do you have any plans on fighting against them?"- Ko
Ichika calmness even under this dangerous situation, gave some hope to Ko. If possible he want to weigh his options after listening to Ichika's plans too.
"I am not going to escape from a mere sovereign ruler family. Otherwise I will bring shame to my teacher's teaching. I have my own plans to deal with them, it is just I am waiting for all of them to come under my radar. I don't have enough energy or time to individually chase after every one of them"- Ichika
All 3 of their jaws almost hit the floor with shock at Ichika's answer. Here they are thinking of ways to survive, as for her, she is thinking on a completely different scale. She want to completely destroy the Boda family in one go. Maybe this mentality is the reason, why she became the disciple of the Overlord.
"Rasia, I have a offer for you, do you want to listen?"- Ichika
"Well, as long as you promise to protect Dragon King Ko and his family, I will agree to all kinds of offers"- Rasia
Dragon King Ko want to refute Rasia, but he was stopped by her
"Since you are born from creation, you are also like family to me. You see, in another few billion years, I will make another breakthrough. At that time, I will be able to open a separate space in my consciousness. I want you to become a part of this space.
With you as the core, I will start building a world of my own. I will also promise in advance that I will never rob you of your free will and will always treat you well. "- Ichika
The 3 of them received enough shocks for the day, that they are no longer surprised by Ichika's words anymore. But Rasia was clearly tempted by the offer. She can feel the honesty in Ichika's words. If she can really become a part of her consciousness, then there is no reason for her to fear any other invaders. She is safe, as long as the Empress remains alive. But as a disciple of Overlord, she can only be challenged by someone of similar status or by other overlord's itself. Also as the first world in Ichika's consciousness, she can act as big sister to other worlds.
"I will agree to the offer, but Dragon King and his family will also follow me"- Rasia
"No problem. I want to invite them anyway as the new world needs inhabitants."- Ichika
"So, is there a place for you to hide me for the next few billion years?"- Rasia
"I do, but I feel it is ok for you to stay here for the moment. With you around, the principles of this world will also not force me to ascend. It will give me enough time to explore all the forbidden areas, lay firm foundations to my Empire and spend more quality time with my family members."- Ichika
Woah. She already has enough plans for the next few billion years. But she didn't even mention about Boda family once in her future plans. Now they are more interested to know on how she will deal with the Boda family.
