บท 909: Chapter 909. Trapping the Divines.
Selioranis, the handsome Divine with blue hair and wings, started speaking after Yasenia asked. His voice was pleasant and smooth, giving his speech charisma just with his tone. "Yasenia Dravory, you've been agitating the entire world stage, and now, you've finally provoked a World War. This situation was not accidental. After analyzing your actions and the strength you used to quickly dominate the Steel Back Wolves and Silent Fang Assassin sect, it is clear to me that you had the ability to do what you are currently doing for a while."
The dragoness stayed silent and waited for him to continue.
Selioranis continued. "I don't understand what the point of the World War you are guiding is. What are your objectives? You know that Demons and Divines are targeting this world because of the lost Body Cultivation Arts we've found. Once our messages reach our superiors, the number of Divines and Demons arriving here will be numerous enough to make Beast Humans a minority in their own world."
Yasenia smiled. "You are right. If your messages arrived, it would be quite troublesome. While I don't fear Divines and Demons, I can't ignore them. You both are currently one of the strongest races in the Universe, with innumerable resources, worlds, and people under your influence. Very few people other than other powerful races can openly face your races."
Selioranis nodded. "That's the truth. So, why are you so adamant about not picking a side? You will need to choose either to ally with us or the demons. After all you've done against them, your best option is us. While it is the truth that our side has garnered less attention than the Demons, we are a neutral party that has yet to intervene."
The dragoness's eyes flashed. "Isn't that strange?"
Selioranis blinked twice and asked, puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Leaning back, the dragoness asked. "Isn't it strange that when Demons are doing so many things, you Divines who say they are protectors of the World don't fight them?"
Selioranis frowned and asked. "Do you expect both our races to clash head-on whenever we meet together?"
The dragoness nodded. "Of course. Two races that are fighting for dominion of the Universe. Body Cultivation is a lost art that probably is unavailable in the entire lower heavens other than here in Distancia. You, as Divines, and taking Demons as the main competitor, should try to eliminate them as soon as possible. Instead, you are doing everything you can to have nothing to do with them."
Yasenia chuckled. "When I attacked the Steel Back Wolves and then defended that land, I expected you to show up wherever the Demons showed up. However, that didn't happen. Because of that, we needed to exchange one of our peak-level cultivators to preserve land."
Selioranis answered. "Our relationship is much more complex than you think, Yasenia Dravory." He continued calmly. "We are enemies, but that doesn't mean we are savages. We have integrity-."
"What integrity?" Yasenia asked. "You both go around dominating smaller worlds that have something of interest, using the advantage that the Heavenly Cataclysm gave your races to shoot up to dominance and fill the space gods of several races left behind. Now, after 1 million years, there is a constant Universal War ongoing without any proper end in sight."
The dragoness sighed. "Selioranis. Look, when you came here, I thought you wanted to create an alliance against the Demons or something. Perhaps you wanted me to stop the World War that I am pushing forward. I don't know… Something, yeah?" Yasenia tapped the table with her nail, making a constant tapping noise. "But what are you speaking about? Why send veiled threats my way? Your next words after hearing my reasoning for a World War were not going to change regardless of what I said."
Selioranis frowned. "Yasenia Dravory, we have a good impression of you, and that's why we want deeper cooperation. Moreover-."
The dragoness smiled. "Moreover, after you discovered and confirmed my physique, you want to do a marriage alliance or something of the sort, yes? You want my children."
Selioranis didn't deny that point. "Are there any downsides for you? We have three females with us, and all of them are talented and beautiful, don't you think so?"
The dragoness shrugged. "I can't deny that. But look at me. Do you think I am searching for beauty when taking in my mates?"
Selioranis also considered this point. After all, Yasenia was a World-Class beauty that would not be eclipsed even in a Divine-dominated world where good-looking people were abundant.
Selioranis crossed his arms, thinking for a moment, and Auriel poked her nose in the conversation. "But Yasenia, when our seniors arrive, what are your plans?"
The dragoness laughed. "Arrive? Why are you so sure that they will arrive?"
Yasenia sighed while showing a pitying look and said to Selioranis. "Unless you've sent a message before I created my sect, there is no way that any message is on the way from anyone." She waved her hand, activating part of the formation, and suggested to Auriel. "How about you try to send Selioranis one message through any device?"
Auriel frowned but tried either way. When the message was sent, nobody felt it, but a faint fluctuation of energy collided with one of the core message transmission waves, completely destroying it.
Auriel was puzzled. "What did you do?"
Yasenia commented. "I've said before that I come from a middle-level World, right? What type do you think I come from?"
Auriel frowned. "A 5-Star Exalted Heaven World?"
The dragoness shook her head. "One more rank."
Selioranis's eyes opened wide, and he asked. "No way, is your world a Sublime Heavens World?"
The dragoness smirked, making the Divines feel their stomach sink. Worlds on Sky Continent level had many people who were able to reach the confines of the world. Hence, blocking interplanetary communications was important.
The reason the Demons took a while to arrive on Sky Continent in the first place was that many of such methods were being actively used. Plus, the [Heaven Piercing Tower] also interfered with it.
There would've been a dozen instead of two Demon Sovereigns if those methods weren't in place.
Angel poked at Yasenia's side and asked. "How are the worlds divided?"
The dragoness laughed and kissed her cheek. "I'll tell you later, Baby. Now, it is not that important for you to know. Just know that the general ranks are Earthly Heavens, Exalted Heavens, Sublime Heavens, Ancient Heavens, and Divine Heavens."
Looking at the Divines, she commented. "So, as I said, you've probably arrived quite later than me finishing the sect. The reason you've all come here so suddenly has also been uncovered. And I can imagine how you could accurately pinpoint our location."
Andrea looked at Yasenia and asked through mental communication, puzzled. 'When did you learn all of this?'
Yasenia answered with a laugh. 'A few weeks ago, Tatyana and Valeria finally discovered what happened with accuracy. My Body Cultivation Creation is at such a high level that when we created it, it sent a wave of aura throughout all the lower heavens. The worlds with enough strength to pick up a part of that signal were quick to know the general direction of Distancia's World. Pinpointing the origin of such a monstrous aura is like looking for a star in the sky. Of course, they couldn't send high levels to investigate because travel through long stretches of space in the void is as dangerous as it can get. The higher the strength of the group, the higher the chance of being caught by an Abyssal Creature. If those things detect you, you are done for… Or so I heard. Am I right, Mom?'
Tatyana sent a confirmation through the mental link. 'Very well summarized.'
Kali and the others also heard Yasenia's thoughts, so Evelyn asked. 'Why didn't you inform us?'
The dragoness pointed at a stack of papers at the side. 'I was organizing all the information to be easily digestible. Three days, and you would've known.'
The Divines asked. "What's your objective, Yasenia Dravory? You can't protect this World forever. Eventually, someone will use the same method as us to find Distancia and reclaim it."
The dragoness agreed. "Probably, if I didn't do anything, that would be the truth. Regardless, I will ask you now, Divine. Willing or unwilling surrender?"
Auriel's eyes widened, and she shouted. "You are not going to detain us, are you? You wouldn't dare!? All the allies we've made will come and attack you!"
Yasenia pushed Tatyana gently off her lap and stood up gently. "You come into the mouth of the dragon and expect not to get bitten? Did you think I would play honorably and let you return to plan whatever so that I can defeat you fairly later?"
Yasenia shook her head. "I am not an ally of either Divines or Demons." Then, she added. "Also, you asked what my objective was with this World War, right? I'll tell you."
The dragoness approached them and looked into their eyes from just two arm's lengths away. Then, she clearly enunciated. "I want to make this World my nest."
Selioranis tightened his jaw and spat. "As expected, you are still an arrogant and greedy dragon at heart, regardless of your appearance. Are you crazy? Do you think you are a Mythical Core Beast dragon or something? How can you take an entire World as your nest with a measly first-level fifth-realm cultivation? That's impossible!"
Yasenia laughed as she left. "Impossible? Watch me."
As Yasenia passed by one of the other Divine's sides, she felt the female Divine's strength explode and rush at her with a mountain-flattening attack.
Selioranis's eyes widened, and he shouted. "YASENIA! MERCY!"
The dragoness didn't even look her way as the fist approached her and continued walking forward.
Before she could receive any damage, several golden chains appeared from everywhere, tangling around the Divine. Then, swords shot from the void and impaled the Divine several times in a fraction of a second, making her look like a sword hedgehog.
The dragoness sighed as she left, not saying anything, and right after, a spatial fluctuation swallowed the room, forcefully teleporting all the Divines to their prison cells.
Cecile asked. "You could've probably entered an alliance with them, but you completely cut their ability to do so until they snapped at you and gave you an excuse to incarcerate them. Why? If your plan was to get rid of them, you could've done so the second they set foot in the sect."
Yasenia answered. "The communication blocking thing was a half-truth. It is true that we come from a strong world where things like world-covering effects are possible, but our sect's formation is not strong enough to block every corner of Distancia World. At most, anything done around 100,000 kilometers or so is not much for a world as big as Distancia."
Angel muttered. "So what you told them is…"
Yasenia said flatly. "A lie. I don't know if their message has gone through or not. However, taking into account the distance between our worlds, they won't arrive soon. By the time they do, perhaps I've managed to do something about our situation."
Kali blinked. "Such an unsure step? That's not much like yourself."
The dragoness laughed mirthlessly. "Well, calculated steps are called as such because they can be calculated. Who knows what will happen that far into the future? I just need to clean up the local otherworlders one way or another before starting a Worldwide formation project to move Distancia and the Solar system this world is in to another place. We also need to investigate the nearby Solar Systems quickly."
Evelyn laughed. "Already planning what to do after winning the war?"
Yasenia's eyes reflected deep coldness. "The War was over the moment I decided that starting it was due. From tomorrow onward, gather all high-level and peak-level cultivators. We are going into a worldwide massacre."
"Sect Master! Urgent Report!"
Yasenia turned her head and heard the harpy that came to report urgently. "We've received reports that several armies consisting of millions of people will gather outside all our cities! Astral Sky City, Astral Dragon City, Astral Sky Abyss Sect, and here as well, the Astral Sky Sect!"
The dragoness smiled. "They couldn't resist after I erased Silent Fang Sect, eh? Perfect. How long until the attack?"
The Harpy was curious why her sect master was so happy when all their enemies had started gathering their top-notch people to erase the Astral Sky Sect, still, she answered faithfully. "Their preparations will be complete in around 2 or 3 years if we continue with our current war pace. If we accelerate and start pushing back, we estimate that it will be around one year or so."
The dragoness nodded. "Reward the information-gathering teams. The last steps of the War are starting."
Evelyn almost tripped out of shock. 'L-Last? How long was this war even!? Is she trying to bring a whole world to its knees in less than a decade!?'
