Chapter 71: Opening Act
High above, a magnificent dragon with shimmering cyan scales and piercing red eyes loomed over a kingdom, casting its colossal shadow across half the land. Yukari observed, allowing Tia to unleash her powers freely. The majestic kingdom sprawled below, its luxury buildings and lavish structures unable to match Yukari own castle. As the dragon's sudden appearance shrouded the once-bright day in darkness, panic gripped the people below.
In a dramatic display, the entire city ignited in flames. Tia, harnessing her mana, channeled a torrent of dragonfire from her mouth, guiding the searing blaze to decimate half the city in a single devastating sweep.
"Great job, Tia. I hope reinforcements arrive soon. This is just the start of our play, after all."
"Hehe, looking from above, high in the sky, really shows how weak these natives are. What a pity."
"Ugh, it seems we have our work cut out for us, Tia. But I have some ideas now and eeveryone'shelp is needed," she said happilly.
Amidst the raging flames and destruction, the once-thriving kingdom descended into chaos. Countless buildings were devoured, leaving behind a grim landscape of brokenness and burnt remnants. The impact claimed thousands of lives and inflicted severe injuries, with broken limbs and burns. The streets bore witness to the somber sight of charred and lifeless forms.
Su Yang calm demeanor shifter, as she sensed individual form behind. "They have arrive, Yuki." Yukari, who was thinking of her plans, heard Su Yang and smiled. "Ohh, I see it seems I can start now."
An approaching army emerged on the horizon, a multitude of knights and mages marching their way. Yukari giggled, reminded of Halhard's past response. Amidst the turmoil, a general, whose strength barely reached that of a low-level Otsutsuki, shouted at Yukari, "You demon."
As Yukari assessed the situation, she realized the need to bolster this world's strength. The meddling of the troublesome gods had hindered the inhabitants' growth. "Such pitiful beings," she muttered in disgust, annoyed by the setback to her plans.
With grace, Yukari advanced toward the oncoming army, accompanied by Su Yang and Yumi, while Tiamat hovered nearby. Their ethereal beauty sent a tremor of fear through their adversaries.
"How can you label me a demon?" Yukari's voice rang out elegantly, feigning a touch of sorrow. Utilizing her Senrigan and genjutsu, she projected illusions of herself across the sky, capturing the world's attention.
With divine presence, everyone looked at the projection I saw. Yukari elegantly smiled, her voice resonating with authority as she addressed the mortals. "I am the Rabbit Goddess, predecessor of my mother," she proclaimed nobly. "Your world has languished in stagnation for centuries, failing to reach its true potential. The gods you have believed in have been restricting your strength, while you foolishly waged countless wars."
A tinge of sadness clouded her face, but then her expression darkened, and a sinister laugh escaped her lips. The natives shivered in fear at the sight. "You pitiful beings have squandered your potential. It is time for your existence to be erased, and a new era to dawn upon this world," Yukari proclaimed, her voice echoing with malice.
Raising her arms into the air, Yukari activated her Ketsuryugan, revealing a mesmerizing red eye with purple lines. "The day of judgment has come," she declared with authority. Panic spread across the world as the inhabitants believed the end was near.
On the projection, they witnessed the destruction of the kingdom, and amidst the lifeless bodies, blood began to rise, converging into a swirling mass at the center of the city.
The orb of blood expanded rapidly, engulfing nearly half of the kingdom. Yukari's voice echoed with a sense of twisted satisfaction. As the orb transformed, it rippled and undulated, taking on the form of a majestic towering lady composed entirely of blood.
The figure, adorned in regal garments, held her arms crossed in a prayer-like gesture, her face hidden behind a delicate veil. Despite her fluid composition, she emanated an air of nobility. Yukari said aloud, "From this day forth, your name shall be Seraphina."
With heavy, deliberate footsteps, the blood-formed lady approached the trembling army. The soldiers and mages, their morale shattered by the presence before them, hesitated. However, the general who had previously branded Yukari a demon, urged them to stand firm. "Do not falter! Attack and protect this world!" he cried, rallying his forces.
In a display of unity, the soldiers and mages raised their voices in unison, shouting phrases like "For the world!" and "Kill the demon!" Yukari couldn't help but smile at their fervor. With a flick of her wrist, she commanded the Seraphina to launch an assault on the army. However, she chose to go easy on them, knowing that their evolution was necessary for her plans.
The mages, taking to the skies, utilized wind spells to gain a strategic advantage. Magic circles appeared, shimmering with vibrant hues, as countless mages prepared their elemental attacks. Yukari observed the spectacle with a sense of admiration, finding the kaleidoscope of colors quite beautiful.
As the assault commenced, Seraphina formed of blood stood resolute in the face of the five elemental forces unleashed upon her. The combined attack began to inflict damage, causing visible harm to her towering figure.
However, displaying her mastery over her own form, Seraphina manipulated her body with uncanny control. With a gesture, she summoned a massive tidal wave of blood that surged forward, washing over the army and claiming several lives in its wake.
But Seraphina's control over the blood did not stop there. As the lifeless blood flowed back to her, she harnessed its regenerative properties. The wounds inflicted upon her began to close, and her form regained its integrity. Undeterred by the initial assault, the blood-formed lady stood tall, ready to face the army's next onslaught.
