When everyone turned their head and looked at Shadow awaiting their praise, he just continued smiling and petting Kaisel without a change of expression.
"Are you girls satisfied with your victory or rather battle with dragon" Shadow asked softly. Even though it was in a low voice everyone heard it.
The girls then looked at each and then at Shadow and nodded their head, clearly satisfied.
The smile in Shadow's face quickly turned upside down and made into a frown, which made the girls quickly panic.
"Wrong answer"
And with that Shadow started to stand up lifting Kaisel's head from his lap and as he stood up the throne was quickly coming undone and going into his shadow, followed by Igris, Beru, and Kaisel who went back into his shadow.
Shadow's Conqueror's Haki then blasted at full force making the girls quickly drop to the ground and the dragon lower it's head slightly.
He then started walking towards the dragon and the girls while talking.
"What the hell you mean you're satisfied with that shit.
You all ganged up on him, all 7 of you and all you managed to do was just make him slightly out of breath.
And your satisfied with that?
One, if you fought him on your own you would have been dead. Two, he was clearly holding back, it was saving it's magic for when we fight, which he is a dumbass for doing that. And three, his attention was divided against the 7 of you.
And you're saying you're satisfied with that?
Disappointing, truly disappointing"
The girls hearing this got teary-eyed, the last thing they ever wanted was to disappoint their master. So hearing him say he was disappointed with them broke them slightly.
The dragon hearing this was quite shock "Why? Why are you so hard on them?, I think they did splendidly. Even i said that I recognized their strengths and power, so why are you disappointed in their strength and power?"
"HUH? Who the fuck needs your recognition, what's your recognition going to do to them? I'll tell you what your recognition is going to do to them, give them a massive fucking ego and get themselves killed, that's what.
So you can take your recognition and shove it up your arse."
"Wha-" the dragon was too stunned to even speak properly appalled by his behavior but before the dragon could get his barings, Shadow continued speaking
"*Sigh*, it looks like nobody listens to me when I speak.
Since when did I say I was disappointed with their strengths and powers.
I couldn't be prouder of the girls they're becoming and of how strong they have grown since I met them"
Tears started flowing unwillingly from the girls eyes, not expecting to hear that from him
Meanwhile the dragon just got even more confused "Then what is it that you're disappointed by? You humans are one confusing species"
"What I'm disappointed about is that they are satisfied in their current strength"
Hearing this the eyes of the dragon and the watery eyes of the girls grew wide in shock
"They should never and I mean never be satisfied with their strength, such actions are unacceptable in my eyes.
The moment one deems one own strength sufficient and satisfactory is the moment that it turns into complacency and they stop growing stronger.
I have said previously that I have Pride and Confidence in my own strength and Power but not once have I said I am satisfied with it. I want more strength... more power..." Shadow then stops and thinks to himself 'I guess the original Cid and I aren't that different if I think about it'
"Anyways as I was saying, I am just disappointed that they were satisfied with their current powers, they were about to turn complacent and stop growing stronger and getting better.
They have the potential for it, but when they're satisfied then that potential is wasted...
I hope that satisfied your questioning and as for why I'm hard on them it's cause I love them what other reason do I need"
This caused the hearts of the girls to skip a beat. 'H-H-H-He said that he l-l-l-love m-meeeeeeee' the girls then started turning into a blushing mess not expecting their master to confess to them.
Meanwhile Eta just gave her master eyes full of unadulterated lust, as if wanting to rip off his clothes and do him right there infront of everyone, consequences be damned.
Shadow already getting tired of talking started to levitate off the ground with his coat fluttering in the wind. He then picked up the girls with Ruler's Authority and put them a few feet away so they could see his fight.
He proceeded to engulf them in a barrier to protect them from the shockwaves and force of their battle.
When he was up towards the dragons head he went and placed a hand on it's face and once it made contact he started to use healing magic on the dragon.
"What are you doing, I'm perfectly fine there's no need to heal me" said the dragon bewildered by Shadow's strange actions.
"You may be physically fine but not your magic power, the girls slightly depleted it and I want to fight you at your peak... and stop talking your existence has almost reached it's character limit"
"Why you-" the dragon grew angry with the unexpected trash talk.
Once the dragon was back towards it's peak Shadow backed away and they both stood a good distance from each other.
Once they were a good distance away they just kept staring at each other waiting for the first person to make their moves.
Shadow not being the type to wait for something so useless acted first, and disappeared from everyone's view and reappearing infront of the dragon.
Due to the unexpected appearance the dragon got quite frightened and tried to back away but failed to do so, as Shadow just sent a right hook with his enhanced fist, sending the dragon crashing into the ground and creating a crater.
Shadow quickly followed after it and grabbed the dragon by it's tail and started to swing him around in circles. And once it got a few good spins in, Shadow sent it flying and crashing into trees destroying them in the process.
Shadow followed after once again but was attacked by the dragon swatting his tail at it, luckily he was able to block it on time by coating his arms in Armament Haki and positioning them infront of himself.
Although due to the force and power of the dragon he was flying and crashing into the ground with dust flying everywhere.
Once the dust cleared the dragon appeared infront of Shadow with a beam of magic already charged and fired it towards him.
As for Shadow he was perfectly fine and when he saw the beam of magic coming towards him he didn't panic and just coated his hand with the element of Death.
As soon as the dragon's magic beam and Shadow's hand made contact, the dragon's beam started to die not going any further and just dying as soon as it made contact.
The dragon seeing this just put more power making the beam grow even larger trying to overpower Shadow, but Shadow just kept his hand infront of him.
Slowly Shadow started levitating with his arm still stretched out and made his way closer and closer towards the dragon.
Once they were face to face, Shadow started to get into a punching position standing on the air as if there were a platform and with a fist just a inch off the dragon's face Shadow spoke. But he wasn't speaking towards the dragon he was speaking to the girls that were watching everything in shock.
"Wanna know something interesting, Sound is just vibrating air. Now what happens when you turn that vibration to another level...
The beings get pulverized"
As soon as Shadow said the last part, he performed the one inch punch destroying the dragon completely, sending blood just flying everywhere.
Cid then slowly started coming down from the sky and waited for the dragon to regenerate itself back again.
While waiting he turned towards the girls and saw Beta once again writing on her book while muttering "And the Shadow Monarch barely moving his fist completely obliterates the dragon saving the princess Beta from his wicked hands"
Beta then started to scratch out the part she just wrote while roughly scratching her head and muttering "No, No, No, My lord is better than that. This is complicated, my lord is to great to be described by mere words. What am I going to do"
Shadow hearing her just smiled slightly and shook his head at Beta's antics. He then sensed the dragon regenerating and coming back towards him.
When the dragon arrived Shadow didn't even give him the chance to speak and summoned roots and vines from the ground and pulled the dragon downwards.
Once he was at a perfect distance Shadow opened the ground with his magic and pulled the dragon into the ground. Before the dragon could roar in protest or retaliate, Shadow snapped it's snout shut and reinforced the vines and dragged it completely into the crevice he made.
Once the dragon was inside, Shadow clapped his hands together making the ground follow suit, completely squishing the dragon to death. Blood just gushed out the cracks that were still present.
And as the dragon regenerated, it looked exhausted from the constant death and regeneration "STOP IT, PLEASE JUST KILL ME"
Shadow then cave the kindest smile he could muster, it was so kind that it even captivated the girls slightly.
"No" and with that he proceeded to completely burn the dragon into a crisp with a flame so hot it scorched even the ground.
Shadow then waited for the dragon to regenerate and used Ruler's Authority to bring him closer to him.
And as the dragon was brought close, it opened it's mouth and started to send rapid shots of Magical energy.
Shadow just covered his hands with Armament Haki and started to swat away any ball of energy that came close.
Shadow just raised a hand and made a closing fist motion, the dragon then started to squish itself together due to Shadow using Ruler's Authority. Blood kept spraying everywhere the more Shadow squeezed his fist.
Until all that was left was blood, scales, and meat, everywhere.
Already getting tired of dealing with the Dragon, Shadow then waiting for it to regenerate, once it was fully regenerated Shadow said "Rejoice, as your long awaited wish shall become a reality"
Shadow then made a sword with his slime and casually held it in the sky, as he held it he started encasing the entire sword with the element of Death.
The element was so potent on the sword that the area around it started to turn gray as if the colors were dying. Shadow then started to surround his sword with magical energy from this world making it glow a beautiful purple color.
And while looking at the dragon, his eyes glowed a bright purple coloring and said "May the last words you hear be the very definition of my existence."
And as he was speaking he let go of the sword which started falling without any resistance.
"I...
AM...
THEE...
MONARCH...
OF...
DEATH..."
And as soon as the sword touched the ground the sword sunk in effortlessly. The world then soon lost all color and sound, as as a blast soon encompassed everything around it. All the things the elements of death would touch would just wither away without a moments notice.
Whether it was the ground, the grass, the flowers, the tree's any animals nearby, the color of the sky, and even the sun itself, all turned a grey dull color as it looked like everything was ending.
As soon as the dragon got exposed to the explosion, it tried to scream in pain and roar but sound wouldn't come out, whether it was the magical energy keeping it alive or the energy of the world, it was killed and dead. Not even the sound of his pain was let alive.
Slowly the dragon started to close his eyes and with a final acceptance the flames of life that kept it alive was snuffed out from existence. All that was left was a pile of bones. But even that would have been reduced to ashes if Shadow didn't stop it on time.
All that was left was a grey area of death and silence showcasing just why he was called the Monarch of Death.
A/N:
First off... you guys are ruthless,
I was getting cooked in the comments for choosing something so dumb and long.
I'm on my hands and knees begging for forgiveness.
The funny thing is not a single person liked it, I would have been okay if like at least one person liked it and I would have moved on just thinking that everyone just has different taste, but for not one single person to like it... sighhhhhhhh I messed up
So now we get to vote since I'm uncreative and should never be left in the kitchen.
1. I fix how I wrote it and do it like this: "I'm thee... Monarch... of Death
2. I... Am... Death... (alot of people said that this was better somehow)
3. Death... Angel's... Retribution....
4. This... Is... your End....
5. I... Am... your Ending...
6. Others (your ideas)
Ps. People don't actually like the 'come forth and serve' and preferred the Original so from now it's just going to be the original 'Arise'

~Omni pov~
After the battle Shadow slowly floated down onto the wasteland he created.
As soon as his feet touched the ground the area around him started to come to life. With each step he took grass and flowers started to grow.
He then arrived in front of the bones of the dragon.
His expression quickly turned into a sinister smile as he turned his head and looked at the soul of the slain dragon still floating around aimlessly "You thought that after actually experiencing death i would have left you rest in peace, how naive do you have to be to actually believe that"
The soul of the dragon got terrified and tried to run away, not expecting Shadow to be able to see him. But he didn't make it far.
Shadow's face then gained a cold expression as his eyes glowed a beautiful purple color "Arise" he said in a emotionless tone, which was followed by the appearance of a purple and black dragon bowing his head in servitude.
Shadow looking at the dragon then put on a pondering expression trying to think of a good name for a dragon that's able to control fog and poisonous mist.
After a while Shadow then snapped his finger and said "I got it. From now on your name shall be Hazzard, Hazzard the mist dragon".
The dragon then bowed his head even lower and said "I thank you my Leige for choosing such a name for one such as I"
Shadow then just nodded and called the dragon into his shadow, joining the rest of his 5,000 other shadow soldiers.
Once the ordeal with the shadow dragon was over, Shadow then put a hand on the skull part of the bone. Once he made contact Shadow then started to use the element of Life and bring back forth the body of the dragon.
The dragon's formed once again, it just layed there without showing any signs of moving. Since the soul of the dragon was no longer available all that remained was the husk of what was previously known as a dragon.
Alongside reconstructing the dragon Shadow also repaired the land he once killed with his element of life and when he was finished he called the girls over.
All seven then appeared right in front of Shadow kneeling in one knee, they all then said "My Lord" at the same time awaiting their orders.
Once they were in front Shadow then using the elements started making golden goblets with jewelry adorning them.
The eight goblet then proceeded to stay floating infront of them, while Shadow started to cut open the dragon and grab it's heart. Once the heart was in his hands, shadow then proceeded to dry it out and pour all of it's blood inside the goblet.
Due to the size of the heart, it had enough blood to fill up all eight goblet to the brim. Shadow then took a hold of one of the goblet and passed the other 7 towards the girls.
He then held the cup towards the girls and with a smile said "To our fruitful battle"
*CLINK*
The girls then stood up and and brought their goblets towards Shadow's making them clink, they then awaited for Shadow to be the first one to drink.
Shadow then downed the blood in one shot, immediately he felt a warm sensation flow through his body. He closed his eyes as he felt the changes that were going through his body.
His muscles has gotten more compact, the magic circuits in his body started to expand, he felt his eyes start to burn and he felt his presence become more overbearing.
When the process finished he opened his eyes and what appeared were two purple color dragon slit that started to narrow. He then turned his attention towards the girls.
[Pic of eyes]
Due to his body that was made to bear the power of the Shadow Monarch, his process of absorbing the blood was a smooth one. The same thing couldn't be said about the girls
Seeing their master drink the blood the girls followed right after and as soon as the blood entered their systems they quickly felt like they were being burnt alive.
The girls quickly dropped to the ground and let out a bloodcurdling scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHH"
The girls were just rolling on the ground trying to suppress their pain, after a few minutes of more screaming and tears rolling down their eyes they stopped squirming around and just layed there panting with sweat glistening and with their eyes close.
The first one to open her eyes was Alpha, instead of her usual golden eyes what appeared were golden dragon slits. She then tried to jumped from the ground, but instead of the normal height she used to reach she reach a height way higher than she normally did.
When she landed she looked at her hands and in amazement "Woah" she whispered "I feel incredible". She then notices the changes in her eyes and looks around and when she looked at her master her eyes widen in fright.
'I knew master was strong, but to possess such power...' she thought while still looking at her master using her dragon eyes to detect his energy. Her eyes then travel to his shadow where she saw every single shadow soldier looking back her.
'How did the dragon not react to this, is master able to decide who can view his inside his shadow... what am I talking about, of course he can. The only reason the dragon wasn't reacting was because master didn't even let him know.' Alpha just nodded her head at her deduction
The other girls then followed suit and got up as well the most excited about the change was clearly Delta as she looks like she couldn't sit still.
Delta then pounced on Shadow, who had to reinforce himself due to Delta's new strength in order to not be knocked down on the ground. Delta while on Shadow grabbed him by the collar and started to shake him.
"Boss, boss, let's go hunting! I'm stronger now so hunting is going to be more fun now. please, please, please, you promised us a gift right, then Delta chooses to go hunting with Boss"
Shadow just took a hold of Delta and started to pet her head and play with her ears, which cause her tail to wag "Alright, Alright, we'll go hunting just the two of us, but it'll have to wait until we finish everything here"
Delta grew even more excited and started to rub her cheeks against his to show her affection.
Cid then put her down and turned around and turned towards the dragon corpse and regenerated it's heart.
He then turned towards the girls and said "Epsilon I have a job for you"
Epsilon then playfully got into a military salute and said "Yes sir"
"When we move everything here and get ourselfs situated, I want you to dilute the blood of the dragon to the lowest you can get it, since your magic perception and control is the highest it should be fairly easy for you.
With the diluted blood i want you to give it to all to shadow garden members. Since the blood is diluted the only benefit they would get is just a slightly expanded magic circuit. And when they gain achievements i want you to give them a piece of dragon meat, that should be enough to make them stronger.
I'm leaving you in charge of the distribution"
Epsilon then gained a serious expression and nodded.
Shadow then turned towards Eta "I want you to research every single part of the dragon and find uses for their body part. Just do what you do best, experiment to your hearts content. When you run out of any more dragon call me so I could replenish it.
And Alpha I want you to keep an eye on her so she doesn't experiment on any of the members"
Eta then gained a expression of disbelieve "Milord but how am I supposed to know if my creations work, and come on I only tried it one time you can't keep holding that against me"
"The fact that you believe only trying one time is acceptable is concerning and thanks to your experiment I was green and growing leaves and mushrooms everywhere, it wasn't a fun experience. If it wasn't for master's help and demanding you hand over the antidote, I would have stayed green." said Beta shuddering remembering the event.
Eta tried to plead her case but since no one was believing her all she could do was pout and look at Shadow with a begging expression.
"Sighhhh, fine but you can only do it on the cult members we capture" said Shadow while facepalming.
Eta then looked towards the other girls and gave them a lazy victory sign.
Shadow just shook his head at her antics and made Epsilon put the dragon in her shadow.
Once everything was complete Shadow made his way towards the Ancient Capital Alexandria. The first thing he did when he arrived was call forth his shadow.
"I want you to collect anything of value that is left over in this city, whether it's books, gold, jewelry, anything, okay"
The shadows soldiers just nodded and started doing as they were instructed. Except Hazzard as Shadow told him to stay behind.
"I want you to go towards the perimeter and encase the entire area with your mist but this time use my mana and make it much more denser and potent"
Hazzard just nodded and flew off towards the distance.
After 30 minutes everyone soon returned with bags full of stuff, whether it was ancient text to common jewelry everything was collected.
Shadow just nodded and stored everything in his shadow.
After making sure nothing was missing Shadow made the girls wait outside the city, although confused they followed his orders.
Once they were outside Shadow made his way towards the center of the capital, when he arrived he spread his arms and closed his eyes. He then started to float in the air and slowly take to the sky.
He was envisioning his hidden city the future base of operation for Shadow Garden, using his mana reactor he started to disassemble the capital city and making new material with his mana, he started to make his perfect city, a place of his own.
A place for a Monarch.
He started making residences for all members and future ones, training grounds, library, hotsprings, a castle, a throne room, a throne.
While that was happening the girls couldn't believe what they were seeing. The one most impacted from such a scene was Zeta, it was at that moment she decided he was a True God. From this point onward no matter what anyone said they couldn't change her mind.
'A gospel, a church, a religion, it has to be done. With our lord as the one true God overlooking the world, no such things as corruptions, wars, cults, slaughter, and Demons shall befall this world... maybe Beta could help me make a Bible which contains our lords wisdom' Thought Zeta already planning on how to start it.
Meanwhile with one last thought Shadow finished completing city.
Shadow just stayed in the air overlooking everything. "It's perfect" he softly whispered.

What do y'all think is an acceptable name for the city 🤔 since I clearly can't be trusted with such a decision
