139 Die For Me (2/2)

Avila was unlike them and just chose to sit behind her sisters me and Veshara, seeing her green hair brush past me I could see the lustful gaze in her eyes. I was not the only one who noticed it as I soon felt a kiss were I was just slapped moments ago by the same person.

None within the room said a word as they were waiting to hear the promise I made to them a few weeks ago.

.....

2 Weeks Ago

As Tith was holding a High Elder meeting to discuss the war preparations and to get a detailed account of the armies improvements, he noticed a dark skinned youth sitting in the empty chair next to him.

He noticed at the same time as every other Elder within the meeting room, shock was apparent on their faces as they all knew who this youth before them was. His very distinct electric horns sitting atop his head and his every changing eyes were giveaways they were 100% sure who this was.

They had looks of astonishment on their faces and were too afraid to blink thinking I would vanish just as easily as I came.

Soon they began to calm down and all gave each other a look, soon a massive seal was activated that reduced my power by '70-80%' they were not fools and used even more seals to suppress me.

They even used the newfound technology they 'stole' from the Teress Realm, I continued to sit in the chair that was meant for the absent Queen. While they threw out attacks and more seals at me I noticed that this chair has not been used in a few thousand years but has been here nonetheless.

As soon as the dust settled the Immortal Gods still with their guard up expected me to have erected a barrier in defence or at least be slightly wounded. When they were able to see me once again they could not believe what was seen, not only was I not injured I didn't even put up any type of defence.

Shock was replaced by fear as they looked at the non damaged area around me, not even the chair was damaged they soon looked at each other in disbelief and slumped down in their seats.

They had no idea why the Emperor would make a personal visit as they were holding this meeting to discuss how to avoid a war with the Dragon Empire. Unlike the other hidden powers they made sure to study this 'monster' of an Emperor and he was nothing they could ever hope to beat.

As for the attacks just now they did that not only as a test but what if they were lucky? They could get rid of all their fears at once and just ignore the claims that they were the ones who killed him.

They looked over at me each as tense as Tith.

Knowing I was given the chance to finally speak I stood up and walked into the middle of the still active seal.

Shattering all their seals I say. ”I need you all to die for me! I will explain my plan so don't give me looks of despair, I need you to gather all the hidden and neutral forced and get them to join you in a war against my Empire.

This way I can get rid of all those cowards in one fell swoop, completely wiping out all forces that are hostile towards me, what do you think of my plan?”

Shock and fear covered the faces of these High Elders even Tith could not take it as he coughed out blood as I finished speaking. He was just as aware as those in this room that no one was a match for me even if they were using Tech from Teress.

They fell in love with the weapons and Technology of Teress and were quickly adopting it into their own civilization, soon after they noticed a war with such advanced Race would only end with them being removed from the Mortal Realm as if they were never there in the first place.

So they decide a war was something they wished to avoid and after talking with a close ally they wished to integrate themselves into the power structure of the Dragon Empire.

The Etrish Clan was once a branch of the Ancient Humans that grew powerful enough to stand on its own, but never fully cut ties.

After hearing that Tith was going to start a war they quickly tried to dissuade him, once they failed they could do nothing but leave with a sour heart.

When they spoke to Leon about showing the benefits of joining the Dragon Empire they were sent messengers from the Ancient Palace telling them that they not only wish to join the Empire but also a way to settle the fact that they already declared war.

Luckily for them Leon was present and heard the whispers of a devil in his ears, at first he thought it was his overprotective mother Teressa but it was his mother that was also his Commander Tia.

She informed him to get as much information from the messenger but stay hidden and not reveal himself, having the Etrish Clan handle everything and give off the impression that peace could be had so long as they never deploy an army against any of the powers under the Dragon Empire's control.

Coming back to his senses the Emperor of the Ancient Humans looked over at me.

”What can I do to save my people from complete eradication?

It does not matter what happens to us within this room we forsaw our ends to late but we wish to gain a path for our people.

Ancient Humans are already so few in the Mortal Realm we do not wish to see our kind perish.”

Hearing this my eyes sparkle like never before as we begin to 'negotiate' peace, as we were about to start I opened a door and Tia walked out of it along with a few others she was training to gain experience in Governance and Military matters.

Among them I spotted a group of Demons, Beast, Human and the newly added Obsidian Dragon Clan members. This wife of mine is doing her best to remain on my list to be spoiled, as soon as she entered she took over all the talks and gave me a knowing smile.
