บท 384: Chapter 384. A peaceful afternoon and Summoning rituals.
Tatyana sat on Yasenia's side and caressed her back. "After the Demons arrived at the Sky Continent, they swiftly took over the Demonic side of the Continent. Moreover, of the other four continents in our World, they managed to get two of them before my forces got them. Now, the World is separated into two sides. The Demon side and my side."
"The leader of the [Heavenly Sect] was successful in summoning a small group of the Divine race. However, they couldn't compete with the Demons since theirs was a hasty summoning; compared with the planned one from the Demons, they lagged behind."
"However, the summoned Divines were able to create a defensive perimeter. They can be considered a third power in our World, but they don't have any high-level Divines in their ranks yet, so their only option is keeping a defensive posture."
"My attacks on the Demons have also slowed them down to a paralyzing point. If it weren't because the two Demon Sovereigns that arrived, I could have exterminated them even before they landed on the Continent. Sadly, I can't kill those two without risking my life, so I'm just harassing them with my replenishable Undead troops."
Tatyana saw their thoughtful gazes and said. "Don't worry too much about it.
Yasenia looked at Tatyana and asked, "Are you in danger?"
Tatyana shook her head, "I'm not. Although I cannot win fights easily, defending myself is not a problem."
Tatyana smirked and commented. "Your mom has even conquered a third of the Land World in less than a year~."
They couldn't help but be stunned. 'Didn't many powers have similar strength to the Academy? What happened?'
Yasenia knew that her mother was hiding deep, but she didn't expect her to be able to conquer a third of the World in a year!
She could only imagine Tatyana leading a massive army as one city after another fell into her grasp. A chill of admiration rushed up her spine. She would have had goosebumps if she had been in a human form.
Tatyana smiled at Yasenia's scorching gaze. "Hmm~, Is my little treasure impressed?"
Andrea asked incredulously. "You... Did you conquer all of that under the Demon's pressure?"
Tatyana nodded calmly. "Yeah, after fighting against their Demon Empress and Emperor, they understood that I was not easy prey. Therefore, those two decided to concede most of the places I claimed for myself, thinking they could take them back in the future."
Tatyana sneered. "I bet they won't expect the nice surprise I have prepared for them. Especially for that annoying Jurtok."
Yasenia saw an expression of disdain flash in Tatyana's eyes and was surprised. Usually, even when speaking about enemies, Tatyana's gaze was deep and unfathomable. However, there seemed to be a deep grudge against Jurtok inside Tatyana's eyes.
Yasenia asked curiously. "Who is this Jurtok Demon?"
Tatyana's expression froze for a second. Then, she coughed and said. "A past acquaintance. From more than forty thousand years in the past."
Yasenia's eyes were full of blaming as she said. "Don't lie to me. He was a past lover, right?"
Tatyana's lips twitched, and she answered honestly. "Sigh, he was not a lover. I never loved him. I was just depressed at that time, so I used him as a portable dildo. I only stayed by his side for two hundred years, little treasure."
Their mouths twitched. 'Only two hundred years... Our time perception is really different.'
Valeria commented. "Oh, since you were so little time with him, why do you have such a deep grudge against him?"
Tatyana snorted. "The bastard wanted me to be his Breeder Empress. Did he really think I would agree to spawn demons for him? Is he worthy? Just a pretty face. I left his side the same day he suggested that. However, it seems like he has been searching for me since that time, and now he is on the Sky Continent. The Demon Empress and Emperor are his father and mother."
Yasenia felt a little uncomfortable. This person was not like the other lovers she met from Tatyana and was still actively pursuing her and with enough backing to put pressure on Tatyana.
However, Yasenia's expression was calm, and she asked casually. "How strong is he?"
Tatyana commented casually. "A peak-level Demon Monarch. Nothing to be worried about."
Yasenia nodded and didn't comment, lowering her head to play with Kaleina.
The others saw Yasenia's calm expression but felt something was brewing inside Yasenia.
Tatyana looked at her little treasure and smiled softly. "Don't worry. I'll kill him when I can. I can't let the little thorns in my dearest's heart stay alive, can I?"
Yasenia calmly nodded, but Tatyana still felt that Yasenia was a little bit down.
She sighed and sat in front of Yasenia, hugging her head. "Little treasure, the past can't be changed. I know that Mom having previous lovers can feel a little uncomfortable because you love me a lot. But you have to understand that mom has many years of experience on her back."
Yasenia looked at Tatyana and chuckled. "I know. Haven't I explained previously that I understood and I didn't mind? I wasn't silent because of that. I just felt a little bad for a second; it went away immediately after that."
Yasenia sighed and said. "I was thinking I'm powerless right now and that we truly haven't spent much time together."
Tatyana kissed Yasenia's lips softly and coaxed her. "Isn't that a good thing?"
Yasenia blinked. "Why is it good?"
Tatyana chuckled and looked gently into Yasenia's slit eyes. "Well, if we haven't spent much time together, that means we have a lot of time before us to enjoy each other company! If that's not a good thing, I don't know what it is."
Yasenia's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a stream of warmth flow across her whole body. Then, she nodded a little shyly. "Mn, we have a lot of time before us."
Tatyana was satisfied with her expression and shared a deep and slow kiss with her.
The others couldn't help but feel hot. When Tatyana acted so gently and treasured Yasenia, she looked too attractive.
Only after she left Yasenia purring between her arms did Tatyana finish explaining the situation in the Sky Continent and its surroundings.
Yasenia listened attentively while taking care of Kaleina and receiving her caresses.
"If my information gathering has uncovered everything as I expect, the strongest demons are currently in charge of protecting the rituals to summon even stronger demons, so they can't be bothered about me at the moment."
Yasenia's peaceful face tensed again. "How much time do they need to summon the stronger Demons?"
Feeling Yasenia's unrest, the small thirty-centimeter-long Kaleina squeaked. Yasenia's eyes fixed on the tiny creature calling for her, and a smile spread across her lips. Her entire being seemed to melt as she rubbed her nose with Kaleina's body, growling softly to comfort her.
Evelyn and the other girls gulped because the gentleness she radiated was attractive beyond species. "She is like that with something that isn't her child. How will she be with her own?"
They all blushed, thinking happily about that situation.
Tatyana also began pondering. 'Can this body have children? Although it is a skill, I have all my organs working properly. This body can even die… Maybe, I can have children with little treasure much sooner than I thought. However, ideally, I would like to have them with my main body. Sigh, we'll see. When the time comes, I won't stop it. If something happens, it happens.'
Yasenia looked at them and tilted her head, "What's wrong?"
They all shook their heads. "Nothing, nothing. You can continue."
Yasenia chuckled and lifted Kaleina onto her head. She had finished eating the whole eggshell, and her bulging little belly was slowly digesting it. After climbing on top of her mama dragon's head, the snake-like Kaleina coiled around her horns and closed her eyes, falling asleep shortly after.
With a new head ornament, Yasenia looked at Tatyana and asked again, "How much time do you have, mom?"
Tatyana was distracted by her previous thoughts and tilted her head. "What do you mean?"
Yasenia found that gesture too cute but resisted her impulse to bathe Tatyana in kisses. "How much time until stronger demons appear in our World?"
Tatyana woke up from her wandering thoughts and answered, "At least two hundred years, at most one thousand years. However, that's if I don't do anything about it."
Yasenia nodded. 'It was not long if she considered the strength she must reach by then, but it was not a desperate time frame.'
However, she heard Mirrory refute Tatyana. "That's too little time, don't you think? They will need at least two thousand years to summon a single high-ranking Demon in a middle World like the Sky Continent."
Tatyana raised her eyebrow, "Summoning rituals have become much more advanced during the time you were missing, Truth Mirror."
Mirrory frowned. "It's not possible. The summoning rituals cannot evolve so much in just one million years. There must have been an important breakthrough to devise something like that."
Tatyana raised her eyebrow. "You should know that an event like that happened not too long ago."
Mirrory's eyes widened. "The Heavenly Cataclysm?"
Tatyana nodded and began explaining some concepts that appeared after the Heavens weakened the links between dimensions with its wrath.
Tatyana and Mirrory began discussing things on a scale our girls found dizzying, speaking of concepts like laws and fundamental rules to argue Tatyana's proposed time frame. Some words were even impossible to understand as they carried traces of laws in them.
Valeria joined shortly after and also took Mirrory's side. "I also think you are over-praising the Demons, Tatyana."
Tatyana shook her head. "Your previous master's world was stronger than the Sky Continent, but it is lacking compared with the Worlds at the top. A World of their size, power, and resources can develop summoning rituals to this point. How do you explain their power to expand through the Universe so fast if it isn't because of some kind of breakthrough in transmission rituals?"
The two seniors got thoughtful. Tatyana finished her argument with the following. "Moreover, I rather overestimate them than underestimate them."
Mirrory and Valeria nodded. Mirrory commented, "Sure. But I think you are exaggerating a lot."
Tatyana shrugged.
Yasenia and the others looked back and forth between them. Then, Evelyn asked, "What's the conclusion?"
Tatyana said, "As I said, two hundred years at least."
Yasenia nodded and asked. "By the way, Mom. Is the Sky Continent important?"
Tatyana instantly knew why Yasenia asked. "Sadly, little treasure, it is important. The tower in the middle of the Academy is quite mysterious, and even with my current strength, I can't reach the top. Moreover, Mirrory here seems to know about that thing, so it can't be useless. If the quantity of energy of the Sky Continent weren't lacking because of it, the number of cultivators at my level would be many more."
Cecile asked, "How does the energy quality of a World increase?"
Tatyana looked at Mirrory. "Explain it. Although I have a general idea, I think the oldest one should explain it."
Mirrory looked at Tatyana and snorted. "You speak as if you were a young woman, you old fossil-."
The others blinked only to see a blurry person land a punch on Mirrory.
*BANG!*
Mirrory's soul body slid backward and stopped in the garden, right beside Sierra.
However, they saw Mirrory had her arm before her chest, successfully blocking Tatyana's punch.
The others began sweating coldly. They almost couldn't react to Tatyana's attack. 'A-Aren't we on the same level? What kind of speed is that!?'
Mirrory snorted, "Old lady, be careful you don't sprain your back making such a sudden movement."
Tatyana's lips raised in a menacing smile. "Hohoho, now you've done it, broken Mirror."
Mirrory snorted and teleported toward the middle of the Garden.
Tatyana followed suit and landed one hundred meters away from Mirrory.
Mirrory said with a mocking tone. "Now, children, it's time for the lesson I promised yesterday about [Intents]. I wanted to get a practice dummy, so I'll just use your mother for a bit, lizard. Angel, prepare to lend your energy to me for a while. I'll absorb quite a lot, so remember to tell me when you can't go on."
Angel became nervous but nodded nonetheless.
Tatyana's red eyes began shining with a bloodthirsty light. "I see. You want to use me as a training dummy to show intent? Hahaha, sure, sure. It has been a while since someone looked down on me so much. Then, shall we begin?"
Right after Tatyana finished speaking, the world around her died, and her aura ballooned.
