Free Web NovelChapter 326: The Absolute Authority
"If you don’t summon realm Bosses!! You won’t last long!!" Vespina yelled, her voice a chorus of overlapping demonic echoes. She was gleefully sucking the vitality from all the surrounding monsters, her aura expanding into a suffocating, crimson-black mist as thousands of low level husks crumbled to ash around her. She wasn’t just fighting; she was attempting to force the gatekeeper’s hand to secure higher level subordinates for her new sovereign.
The dragon leaped backward, its heavy armor groaning as it desperately dodged another razor-thin tentacle, landing lightly before the swirling dimensional gateway:
’Realm Bosses? Why does she keep asking me to summon them?’ It thought, struggling to process the anomaly. In standard dimensional warfare, one never asked their opponent to bring out their ultimate weapons. It moved its gaze all over the devastated place, scanning the horizon for the hidden variable that made this demoness so terrifyingly confident:
’And where is her Master?’
"I see you don’t want to summon them, oh well, I know how to make you." Vespina redrew all her tentacles, sliding them back into her pale palms after draining the vitality of every single monster present. She looked completely refreshed, her red eyes burning with excess energy.
"What is she doing now?" The Dragon asked aloud, its grip tightening on its battleaxe as it was looking up at her floating form. The sudden drop in her offensive pressure felt more dangerous than the attacks themselves.
"Hehehe, survive my strongest ability and I will let you live!" She yelled, her sadistic glee reaching its peak as her physical body started glowing with a blinding, corruptive light.
"Demonic Manifestation."
BOOOOM!!
The laws of biology and physics shattered entirely. Her delicate, humanoid body violently shattered into countless singular tentacles, an explosion of pure abyssal creatures. Each undulating limb ended with a grotesque, snapping creature maw lined with circular rows of teeth, dripping with highly corrosive acid. It was the true, apocalyptic form of the Nine-Star Demon.
SCREECH!!
The thousands of tentacles let out deafening, simultaneous shrieks that physically tore up the asphalt, and shot towards the dragon, moving in the air like a tidal wave of impossibly fast, starving snakes.
"You bitch!!! Why are you going all out with me?! Fine! I will summon them, and see if you can defeat it!!" The dragon roared, completely pushed to the brink of death. Knowing physical defense was useless against the vitality-draining maws, it made a desperate, irreversible choice. It raised its weapon and violently cut his palm with his own god-class battleaxe:
"With my Blood! I summon a Fusion stage Realm Boss from the Third World!!" He yelled, permanently sacrificed a portion of its origin vitality to bypass the gateway’s level restrictions.
BOOOOM!!!
The gateway expanded with a sickening, tearing sound. A huge, chitinous leg, thick as a skyscraper and radiating putrid, highly condensed toxic energy, burst out from the gateway, and smashed into the incoming tentacles with catastrophic force, sending them flying backward. The sheer physical density of the new entity was staggering. The scattered tentacles rapidly merged back together, quickly reforming into Vespina’s humanoid shape. A small line of black blood could be seen on her pale lips; the recoil of the clash had injured her. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"What sort of Realm Boss did you summon?!" She asked in genuine shock, wiping the blood as she watched the terrifying silhouette. A gigantic, segmented head equipped with terrifying mandibles moved out from the gateway, dripping a venom that instantly melted the concrete beneath it. freeweɓnøvel.com
"....?!"
She flew backward, her demonic arrogance evaporating, watching in absolute shock, as more than ten colossal legs moved out, crushing the surrounding debris into fine powder.
"You actually summoned the king centipede?!! This is a fusion stage monster!! How did you even get him to come here?!" She yelled, pointing a trembling claw at the exhausted Dragon. The evolutionary gap between a standard Realm Boss and a Fusion stage entity from the treacherous Third World was a chasm that could not be crossed lightly.
"You ignorant demon! With my blood, I can summon a very powerful monster." It yelled, panting heavily, its own health permanently crippled by the forbidden blood summoning.
"Huh? With your blood... That will harm your vitality, and even taint it... It will taste bad." She said with profound disgust, completely ignoring the imminent threat of the Centipede to complain about the sudden drop in the gatekeeper’s culinary quality. Her twisted priorities remained entirely demonic.
"I don’t fucking care how my blood taste!! Kill her King Centipede!!" It yelled furiously, pointing its heavy axe at Vespina, demanding the completion of the summoning.
"What should I do now?! You’re too strong." Vespina hovered in the air, rapidly calculating her odds against a Fusion stage monstrosity. The math was not in her favor. She suddenly stopped, her red eyes lighting up as she snapped her finger:
"Yes, I got an idea." She said, her panic vanishing entirely.
"What idea?! Before true strength, all ideas are useless!!" The Dragon stated, quoting a fundamental law of the power hierarchy.
"Oh, there is one that will work." Vespina said, looking down at him with a mischievous, almost pitiful grin.
"Which is?" The gatekeeper asked in deep confusion.
"MASTER!!!!!!"
"....?!!"
Vespina screamed at the top of her lungs, abandoning all demonic pride. Her shameless, desperate action completely stunning both the heavily armored Dragon and the towering, 50-meter-tall King Centipede.
"MASTER!! I AM GETTING BULLIED!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!!"
"Getting Bullied?" The Dragon was dumbfounded, its jaw dropping. This was a Nine-Star apex predator acting like a child who had her toy stolen on a playground.
"Yes!! You bullied me! MASTER!!" Vespina screamed again, pointing an accusing finger at the baffled gatekeeper.
"Why are you screaming non-stop, I thought you said you can handle this alone."
The voice was calm, yet it carried the weight of a dying star. The moment the words were spoken, an absolute, oppressive pressure instantly descended all over the city. It wasn’t just physical gravity; it was a sovereign mandate from the Beast Empress bloodline that bypassed the defensive algorithms. Every single creature froze in pure, instinctual fear, their bodies shaking uncontrollably as their souls recognized the arrival of an apex ruler.
"Such Pressure?! What sort of Monster can release such Aura?!" The Dragon thought in sheer terror, the battleaxe slipping from its trembling claws.
"Hey you! What did you summon me into?!" The King Centipede yelled, its massive mandibles clacking in panic as it felt the overwhelming aura suppressing its Fusion-stage core. It was frantically lowering its multi-eyed gaze at the dragon, demanding answers.
"....?!!!"
The Dragon blinked, also entirely speechless. They both slowly, mechanically turned their heavy heads to the distance. Tearing through the ash-filled sky were four gigantic dragons—black, red, white, and green—flying majestically towards them in a flawless diamond formation, all radiating the terrifying power of Peak Realm Bosses.
Sitting comfortably on the horned head of the colossal red dragon was a human, completely unbothered by the apocalyptic battlefield, who was busy affectionately caressing the little winged cat purring in her arm.
"Is that a human?" The Dragon muttered in absolute surprise, its perception of reality fracturing.
"That is no mere human... How can a human have five Realm Bosses at her command, not only that. The Little cat in her arms, that’s also a realm Boss." The Centipede spoke, recognizing the terrifying concentration of power before it. It violently turned, lowering its angry, panicked gaze at the Dragon who had trapped it here:
"What the hell did you summon me into?!!!" It yelled in absolute rage. It had traded a blood for a one-way ticket to its own execution.
"I... She..." The dragon was dumbfounded, unable to string a sentence together.
’What the hell?! Weren’t I just killing humans some moments ago, how did it turn into this? Isn’t this girl a human too? Why is the difference between them so huge?’ It thought, violently comparing the desperate, broken Jessica it had almost killed to the absolute sovereign currently descending from the sky. The power scaling made no logical sense.
The red dragon gracefully stopped in the air beside Vespina, the heat from its scales warping the air, while the other three elemental dragons silently circled around the gateway, forming an impenetrable cage of fangs and magic, all waiting patiently for Mirabella’s order.
"MASTER, BIG SISTER!! Thank you for coming to my rescue!" Vespina yelled, rushing eagerly towards the red dragon, her terrifying aura completely gone as she stopped subserviently Beside Mirabella.
Mirabella didn’t look at the gatekeeper. She moved her piercing blue gaze around the ruined plaza, taking in the chaotic energy, and finally fixed her eyes directly on the colossal King Centipede. She stroked Cupcake’s fur one last time before speaking:
"I can see you have some intelligence... So what do you say? Join me, or die?" She said, her voice entirely devoid of arrogance, simply stating an absolute fact. Her words ringing out across the dead city, completely stunning the two creatures before her.
