After his command to Beast Lord Anastasia, the Variant Beast Lord Commander gazed calmly towards the Elven Beast Lord Mayfaire.
“We will give you any answer for this, Mayfaire. For now, any news on your reach towards the other three Ascendant Human Lineages?”
His words calmed everything in the surroundings as while swallowing his anger, the Elven Beast Lord Mayfaire harrumphed and replied.
“Hmph, the other three Ascendant Human Lineages do not seem to get that coexistence in this world is better than extermination. All delegations have been denied even being heard, and in the Strongholds of the Ascendant Asmodeus Bloodline, they even massacred our delegations. For this, they need to pay, O Commander Atticus.”
…!
His words were filled with brutality as when the Variant Beast Lord heard them, he tapped his fingers on his throne thoughtfully.
“The places where the strongest of the native Lineages that were born from this world…will be the places where change will be concentrated the most. When the process of Energeia Star Ascension starts, these strongholds that hold the most populated and strongest Human Lineages will undergo the most stupendous changes. This is why cooperation is more beneficial…”
Terrifying secrets were revealed as the Galanis Lord gazed at the Human Gem Master Commanders beside him with shining eyes.
The reasons why they had allied with the Beast Lineages were many, but this was one of the foremost ones!
As the native Human Lineages, they stood to inherit the most wonders during the process of Energeia Star Ascension.
But only if they were actually alive for it.
The Galanis Lord wanted to ask.
Why was the mechanism of the Energeia Star Ascension like this? Why did the lands where most of the humans were, and those who were the most powerful, experience the most change?
When he had asked about this change before, the Variant Beast Lord Atticus had looked at him silently for a few seconds before he said even more terrifying words.
‘That is getting into mysteries even we haven’t fully understood yet, but as I know it…it is a form of a defense mechanism. Because, just like all of us, even a Star does not wish to die.’
…!
The Lord of the Skypeak Ascendant Stronghold of the Galanis Bloodline remembered these words and repeated them in his mind every day.
Even today, he wanted to talk to the many other Tier 7 Human Lords of the other three Lineages!
But each of them had their own path to follow.
He would lead the part of the Galanis Lineage depending on him forward!
“Very well.”
WAA!
A burst of golden light erupted from Variant Beast Lord Commander Atticus as he clapped his hands.
“Human and Beast will move as one to besiege the nearby Ascendant Strongholds. Killing is not the goal…the goal is submission and cooperation. If we can begin procreation between Lineages soon and give rise to those born between us, we shall slowly attain the boons as natives of this world until there is a full assimilation…” freewebnoveℓ.com
…!
The words seemed calm enough, but the gazes of a few human Gem Masters behind the Galanis Lord clenched their fists with ashen faces.
Procreation!
Mixing with Beasts to give birth to their offspring!
Their people would have to go through this in the future?
Even though their faces were ashen, they couldn’t do anything else but listen.
This was the boat they had jumped on, and now…they had to follow it to the end!
—
BOOM!
The crystalline obsidian fists of the Orc Minion pummeled again and again as green gold feathers of the Beast Lord Vishpala were plucked and strewn everywhere.
A bloody bird was all that lay below as…
“Wait…”
BOOM!
“STOP!”
BOOM!
Even in the midst of her crying, as her Energeia tried to gather itself to activate the terrifying Gem Armament on her head, the fists still didn’t yield as the fists sounded relentlessly!
They seemed to be gauging how much life force remained with every strike as after barely any cries were coming out of the bloodied regal Peacock…only then did the bloody fists of the Orc Minion come to a halt.
On top of its right shoulder, the figure of Alexander looked down on the twitching Beast Lord that wasn’t even allowed to showcase its power.
A weak voice came from it.
“Yo-you fucking…bastard. I s-said, stop…”
The voice was weak and filled with resignation.
Who was she?
What status did she have?
And yet she wasn’t even given a moment of rest as above the Orc Minion, Alexander voiced out coldly.
“Do you yield?”
“…”
Down below, Beast Lord Vishpala wheezed as she felt barely a hundredth of her life force remaining.
She…
She…!
…!
She saw the obsidian fists of the Orc Minion rise again as terror rose widely within her, knowing that if these fists came down on her again, endless darkness awaited her.
So she quickly spoke out with fear.
“Yield! I yield!”
“…”
The fists of the Orc Minion still hung in the air.
Almost as if they didn’t believe her.
“I fucking yield!”
She shouted out this time fearing that the fists may truly just come down and end her, but it was a golden glow from the chest of Alexander that cascaded from his chest and came to bind her.
Her being.
Her life force.
Her very soul.
Her expression was maddening as such a thing occurred, but she didn’t even twitch as she allowed this golden light to do whatever it wished.
Her binding of yielding spread across the battlefield as all Beasts turned chaotic and began to scramble away.
If the Beast Lord herself had yielded, what were they to even do?!
This battle…could be considered set, and the victor was very clear!
“Ah!”
Cries of shock and fear echoed out from the remaining Orc and Peacock Beast Commanders that were surrounded and heavily injured, but Alexander’s gaze was only in a single spot.
The bloodied Peacock down below.
He had gotten himself a Tier 7 Beast Lord.
How terrifying would the power he wielded become?
And someone as powerful as her was bound to have a great deal of information that would paint an even clearer picture of what the Beast Lineages had in store, and what was to come!
