Kapitel 268: Chapter 261: Power of the Empress
"Enough."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
With a single word from the Empress, the hooded figure's crown returned, and the spiritual world stabilized as if her words were the very law.
"Human Female, I'm not asking; I'm ordering you to hand over that World Spirit."
Raising a finger, the Empress's expression darkened as she looked at the woman with the black egg. To her, these living beings were nothing more than inferior creatures, infecting the world with their sins, disrupting order. Thus, she had no mercy for life in the world. The crown on her head expanded, unlike the hooded figure's crown, covering the entire Astral plane and the seven spiritual sub-worlds.
"You refuse to obey this Empress... Pay the price for your actions."
Moving her finger towards the sky, a terrifying energy avatar formed outside the Sub-world.
...
"Escaped, huh?"
Raising her eyebrows, the Empress was slightly surprised. This woman was no small ant to be crushed. In the last moment, she utilized her celestial treasures, saving her life and teleporting to a safe area. Even with distorted space, she managed to flee.
How long had it been since someone could escape her?
The Empress couldn't recall, but those who did escape ultimately met a tragic end.
"Human! I will catch her!"
Capturing the woman's aura, the hooded figure swung her scythe, ready to alter reality and bring her back. However, the Empress stopped her.
"Fine... Even if she escaped, she's a worm not worth my time. I've damaged her destiny."
Turning her wrist, a huge black egg floated towards her throne.
"Besides, I have what I need."
*Clank
With a flick of her finger, the multiple seals left by Jie Ranqing on the egg were destroyed, leaving only a weak seal restricting the spirit inside. Simultaneously, she manipulated the destiny of the World Spirit, destroying its life paths and granting new ones. For her, this was an easy task.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Disappearing her scythe, the hooded figure stepped back. Although she wanted to fight, she knew it wasn't the time to be reckless in a mega world of level 9, inhabited by many powerful beings. What if their fight attracted these powerful beings?
With the Empress resolving this in an instant, there was no danger. At least they could escape if things got ugly.
Or so she hoped, as time in the Asura Spirit Sub-world suddenly froze.
"Hm? She has appeared... Mother."
Frowning, the Empress turned her head as another gigantic avatar materialized.
"Eh? The will of the world? Is it this significant?"
Looking incredulously at this new giant, the hooded figure opened her eyes. She couldn't detect the energy of this new figure, but upon sensing its aura, she calmed down, knowing it wasn't an enemy.
"Haaa~ What will I do with you? My daughter, you've disrupted the destinies of many living beings, even changed others. You know this isn't allowed."
Letting out a tired sigh, the giant shook its head. This giant was the will of the world and a fragment of its consciousness.
Being the mother of all, she couldn't allow the Champion to upset the world's balance. However...
"Don't make me laugh, Mother... You know my actions have no negative influence on you. Besides, you were the one who helped that human escape, right?"
Returning to her throne, the Empress snorted coldly. She was correct; even if she played with destiny, her actions wouldn't be imprinted on the world. As Champions entering the world, the world's destiny changed completely. So even if all life within it died, the world would remain intact.
That was the power of her crown.
For example, the previous attack, even though it had the power to destroy a star, thanks to the Crown protecting the world, no matter how much she or the enemies attacked, the world wouldn't suffer a loss. That's why to destroy a world, they had to first destroy the Champion's crown. Due to the crown, gods or other level 4 beings couldn't defend the world; their actions would only hasten the world's death. The crown distinguished them from all beings in the multiverse; only they could wield the shield defending the world.
And she, being the Empress, her crown was very special.
"It's true; I helped her... Also, you know I'm not referring to that. Haa~ that woman you harmed had a very special destiny, just like that World Spirit."
Not denying her words, the world was responsible for Jie Ranqing's escape, stabilizing space to give her a chance to escape, though it was a pity she couldn't block her attack.
"Let me guess, is this World Spirit the wife of your favorite son? And the woman, the mother of the protagonist in your story?"
It was always the same with the world, manipulating destiny, creating beings that defied common sense—beings with outstanding power compared to others, in short, heroes, the world's most favored children. Hence, it wasn't a surprise that this woman escaped.
"Mother, you're not in danger. There's no need to alter destiny for a Hero."
"But, this boy is very special... I swear! You'll love his story! Come on, leave that World Spirit and enjoy the tale."
Waving its enormous hands, the giant tried to convince its daughter. However, the Empress sighed in response; for her, all this effort was a waste.
"Don't try to negotiate with me. It's always the same with you, creating these troublemakers for your mere entertainment..."
