[Location: Northern Imperial Palace's assembly hall.]A soldier knelt before the Emperor and delivered the news he had just received from the border."Your Majesty, it's been a few days since we lost contact with the fort on the southern border," said the soldier respectfully.The Emperor frowned. He said curtly, "Not that it usually happens.""They usually report regularly every two days, but it's been four days since they didn't report, and again we've also lost contact with the soldiers from the Southern Empire," the soldier explained."Brag..." The emperor hit the table in front of him."Damn it, looks like we missed out!" the Emperor growled.All the higher-ups of the Northern Empire in the assembly hall fell silent. They were still thinking about what happened at the Empire's borders in the southern region."Lucas, go to the southern region and find out what happened in that place," the emperor ordered.A flash of shadow appeared from behind the Emperor's body, and just like that

Vexia, Bella, Marco, and Nina were sitting leisurely in the fortress of the Northern Empire they had just conquered. The Demons Empire's soldiers began to clean up the soldiers of the Northern Empire who had fallen in the short battle that had just ended."I feel a fairly large force rushing towards us," said Vexia, who sensed the presence of several slightly more potent people than her.The three older men protecting the Northern Empire arrived at the Vexia warriors' place and saw the northern fortress the enemy had taken over. One of the Imperial protectors smiled as he looked at Vexia, who was still sitting leisurely.“I didn't expect the Demons Empire to cooperate with other races to attack the Empire under my protection,” said the old man looking at Vexia with lustful eyes."Brothers, how about we take those women to warm our beds? With their strength, I'm sure we can enjoy their voluptuous bodies for a long time," said another old man whose eyes were permanently fixed on Vexia's

[Location: Northern Imperial palace assembly hall.]The Northern Empire's territory had fallen into enemy hands, leaving only the Imperial capital, which would be surrounded by millions of soldiers who invaded the Northern Empire in the next few hours. The emperor, who heard the news of defeat in every corner of his Empire, remained calm and sat on his throne. Even the announcement of the loss of several of his Imperial protectors didn't make him lose his sense of composure.The Emperor smiled broadly at the three people forced to kneel before him. Rising from his throne, the Emperor walked up to the two women who were forced to their knees by the four older men behind them.The four older men were the two protectors of the Northern Empire and the two protectors of the Dark Demons Empire. While the three people who were forced to kneel were Ares’ mother and grandfather, and there was Princess Shania, who was accidentally carried away when the four great Imperial protectors secretly coo

[Location In the capital of the Northern Empire.] One day had just passed. There were no special days of mourning or funeral services for the Emperor and the entire Northern Imperial court. Hundreds of corpses, including the Emperor’s and his Empress's bodies, were burned in the Imperial palace courtyard by piling firewood.Ares wanted a slightly more decent funeral, but the residents of the Imperial capital didn't allow proper burial for people who made their lives miserable. He had also just learned from the townspeople's stories about how depraved the Imperial Empress was; hundreds of youths had been kidnapped to satisfy the Empress' lust, and most of the kidnapped youths had died tragically when the Empress had grown tired of her. "Is all this worth to be felt by a lifeless body again?" Ares asked, unable to bear to see the pile of corpses burned together on a pile of coals."Of course, it's appropriate, even if it's just the body, but the body has been recognised as a source of

[Location: Southern Imperial Palace.]The Emperor's body fell to the ground as Ares attacked him again.“Cough…” The Southern Emperor spat out the blood that filled his mouth.“You are indeed fucking strong, but you will lose at my hands even if I have to sacrifice my own life,” the Southern Emperor shouted; then, he made a move that Ares didn't understand.“Soul-absorbing skill,” the Emperor shouted. "Urgh," cried the Imperial Protectors in pain before their bodies turned to ashes after their souls and powers were absorbed by the Emperor.The Emperor's strength increased; he was now twice as fast as before. A powerful aura also emitted from the Emperor's body, and Ares felt slightly pressured by the Emperor's power. Ares was sure that the Emperor's strength was now equal to half his full strength."You're pretty strong now, but I wonder how long your body can withstand that kind of power," Ares said with a smile."I know my limits, and I will kill you before all this power dissipates
