Legend had it that more than ten thousand years ago, after the mysterious retreat of the old Twelve Demon Gods, only four great empires remained in the human continent. These were the Kingdom of Knights, Octavia Empire in the north; the Kingdom of Swordsmen, Gabriel Empire to the south; the Kingdom of Assassins, Kristoff Empire to the west; and the Kingdom of Mages, Aldridge Empire to the east, as well as the federal city of Manasvir at the center.
Back then, when the transmigrator, Empress Manya Felan, had transmigrated over to this dimension, she reached a cooperation agreement with a city lord with a good eye, Manas. The two had a fake marriage, and this Manas later became the emperor of the Manasvir Empire.
Before she transmigrated, Manya Felan was a young miss from a certain business family on Earth. With her superior business talent, she secretly helped City Lord Manas to accumulate a large amount of wealth. She then turned the Manasvir Empire into the richest empire in the human continent through various economic and political means.
For 10,000 years, the heir to the throne had basically no blood relationship to Manya Felan at all. She had always remained reclusive. She didn’t remember how many generations of emperors the empire went through, while she, the Ten-Thousand-Year Empress, basically didn’t interact much with the later emperors.
After all, she was only the fake wife of the first generation emperor. The later emperors were all the sons of the imperial consorts. Due to the issues with principles and seniority, none of them knew how to refer to Empress Manya Felan, so they simply didn’t care about her.
Empress Manya Felan, who only cared about economics, wasn’t so concerned about politics anymore. She had tried to copy Earth and build a super empire on this other world dimension, a place where political superiority would be gained through economic hegemony.
It was an amazing ideal, but the reality was cruel. Money wasn’t enough to run this other world; strength was what granted power here. The one truth of money being all-powerful on Earth had been reduced to a general principle in this other world. There were plenty of strong people you couldn’t bribe with just money.
Manya Felan still had to face the dangers of her life. She could die naturally of old age, and she could also die if she was killed. The system stream Saviors were different from the talent stream Saviors summoned by the creators. If they were killed, then as long as the ones from the talent stream were killed by anything other than their own kind, their souls were basically able to return to the dimension world they previously transmigrated from. They would continue living after going back. The system stream ones were different. Death was the end for them. After their deaths, their souls would be banished to the gap in space, wandering forever.
For the Saviors who transmigrated here without this dimension’s creator’s permission, not to mention returning to their original world after their deaths, they didn’t even have the right to pass through the reincarnation passage of this dimension. Any souls not approved by the creator would never be released by the reincarnation passage. Therefore, Manya Felan didn’t dare to mess around like the other transmigrated saviors seeking death. For her, she only had one life, and she’d need to be cautious if she wanted to act big.
It wasn’t that Manya Felan had never thought about working with the other transmigrated Saviors, but she didn’t dare to. Ten thousand years ago, there had been incidents of internal strife between the transmigrators in this dimension. Several talent stream Saviors were killed by their own kind, becoming terrifying Grudges who wandered this dimension. If Manya Felan wasn’t on her last legs, she wouldn’t have begged Bella and the others for help no matter what.
According to Manya Felan’s own “gold finger” cheat, the “Eye of Recognition”, the two Black Warriors, Isaman and Bella, belonged to the enemy side. Even if they were transmigrators, if they were in separate camps, they might not necessarily work together. As for Bella’s data, that was even more amazing; she was given a big red question mark. It didn’t even tell her whether she was actually a transmigrator.
Bella finally got more accurate information about the strange things surrounding the Manasvir Empire’s emperor from Empress Manya Felan. The emperor really was fake. The information Bella and the others saw previously weren’t lies. The real emperor had already been killed in a certain evil ritual more than a decade ago, along with a large number of his relatives.
Now, the emperor in the Manasvir Empire’s capital, Macnadix City, Manas XVIII, Manas Charlie, was a terrifying existence impersonating him. As for the guy’s origin, Manya Felan had never stayed with the emperor and was often reclusive. Hence, she was spared when the emperor met his demise.
The other members of the royal family weren’t as lucky as her. They were all basically reduced to bones and left in that royal courtyard. Save for a few princesses, not a single prince was spared. Now, the royal sons of the Manasvir Empire still out and about were all living human puppets controlled by spiritual magic.
The only one unscathed in the original emperor’s harem was the Empress, Manya Felan. The other imperial noble consorts and the like were confined in the stuffy cold palace. Manya Felan had no idea what they were doing there, but she was sure it wasn’t anything good. The strange moans and groans coming out of the cold palace were present all day and night.
In the hidden area of the Forest of the Wild, Thunder Canyon’s central oasis zone, Olsylvia Academy girls had set up their temporary resting spot in the secluded tent at the center of the lakeside camp. Bella was currently in the tent’s secret torture room, interrogating the latest captured prisoner of war, Manasvir Empire’s Ten-Thousand-Year Empress Manya Felan. After learning that Manya Felan was a transmigrator, Bella’s interest intensified.
Aside from her exceptional beauty and the ability to change her hairstyle, hair color, and eye color at will, Manya Felan was a tempting delicacy. Moreover, ten thousand years of economic activities had allowed Manya Felan to accumulate quite a massive amount of wealth. If she managed to obtain her, that wealth would belong to her as well. Manya Felan was an invaluable financial expert. So, Bella needed every piece of this woman, not just her body.
Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman and Golden Dragon Princess Laceman, who were on the big bed outside, were already slumped on the snow-white bedsheets, falling asleep in the embrace of each other’s soft, dainty bodies. The fur blanket spread out on the floor was an even more alluring sight that could make a woman shy and a man bleed from his nose. There were noble Thunder Elf beauties everywhere who had already lost themselves and fallen under Bella’s command. They were tangled together without a single thread covering them and engaging in intimate activities without distinction of their partners.
According to Bella’s plan, these Thunder Elf beauties would be her first batch of elven subordinates to participate in possible infiltration operations in the elven continent in the future. The only pity was that there weren’t any princess-level existences. They all belonged to wandering elves who were temporarily picked up by the Thunder Demon King. None of them were royalty, so of course, there would be no princesses or queens.
“Grand Duke Bella, I’ve already said what I have to say. Since... Since we may be transmigrators alike, please spare me! I... I can give you all my treasures. Just take it as ransom!”
Empress Manya Felan pleaded with a pitiful appearance. Even though she wasn’t forced to sit on a wooden horse, Bella had constantly been looking at her whole body like she was appraising a treasure, which made her very worried. Bella was trying to figure out how she was going to convince her to come under her wing.
However, considering that Manya Felan was a fellow transmigrator, Bella felt a little bad to just go for special props for torture like she did with those captured maiden adventurers. This was someone like her, an adventurer who had transmigrated over from Earth. Only, they were in opposing camps.
Manya Felan preferred to stay in the area outside. The atmosphere around the secret torture room made her too restless. She had no idea if Bella had added anything strange to the lit red candle, but it was emitting an unusual fragrance. Her mind was growing foggy as she inhaled it. Besides fear, strange things were beginning to emerge in her gaze.
Manya Felan was sitting on a soft, square sofa. After putting her down, Bella didn’t say anything. Instead, she went to bully the maiden adventurers who were confined here, hanging them one by one before her and touching them as she pleased. It was an extremely hot scene. Even Manya Felan, an outsider who was watching from the side, felt a little eager to participate.
“That’s not enough, Miss Manya Felan. I want your person, as well. Cooperate with me! Become my girl... Becoming my partner is better, don’t you think?”
“But... But you haven’t even told me if you’re a transmigrator or not. Even though I feel that you may be one, you’re dangerous...”
“Dangerous? You’re right, Miss Manya Felan. I was fond of bullying girls before I transmigrated, especially young misses like you. I think it’s better for us to sleep until the morning tonight. Then, you’ll know how good I am!”
Bella generously admitted to being a lily girl, catching Manya Felan off guard. She had previously suspected Bella of having a strange taste, but she didn’t expect her to have such unusual hobbies. If she really was a lily girl, then wouldn’t her chastity be in danger? Manya Felan looked to the door as if calculating her chances of escape.
With a naughty grin on her face, Bella let go of the beautiful adventurer in her arms, who had been kissed to the point that she had gone weak and could only meet Bella’s violation while squirming. She then came up to the kneeling Empress Manya Felan and easily pressed her two hands behind her back. This empress was far too weak. Although she had ten thousand years of experience, when it came time for her to stand before a truly strong person, she was merely a prey.
“You... What are you doing, Bella? Have some decency, I... I’m scared. I’m a normal straight woman. Don’t force me. I... I’ll...”
“You’ll what? Miss Manya Felan, don’t kid yourself. If you really were straight, would you not have met a single man you liked for all ten thousand years? Did you really not conserve your body all these years for me?
“Also, Manya Felan, you should know... Pasta is straight before being wet too! What we have is time for us to slowly get to know each other. I’ll let you know what you really need!”
Manya Felan couldn’t argue with Bella and could only blush. She dropped her dead, not daring to look at Bella’s fierce eyes filled with domination. Bella lowered herself, but after a pause, she abandoned her original plan of kissing Manya Felan’s inviting lips and went for her beautiful cheek instead.
“Alright, Manya Felan. When we return to our hotel, we’ll be able to get to know each other better. You should have a good rest for now!”
“Bella, you should just give up... Wait, I can sleep by myself just fine. No...”
After Manya Felan was picked up by Bella, she was brought straight to the large, snow-white bed. Seeing another beauty joining them, Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman and Golden Dragon Princess Laceman, already intimate on the bed and hot all over, immediately went up and pressed down Manya Felan, who was struggling to get up.
Poor Empress Manya Felan, she couldn’t even make a cry for help before she was brought under the control of these two charming dragon beauties. Afterward, she was pressed under them to have all sorts of strange things done to her.
Bella changed into a black jacket and got up to exit the private tent, leaving the intimate space behind for the beautiful ladies. After having a nice makeout session with a lovely young lady, she was now in a relaxed mood and planned to go look at the stars to ease her boredom. Assassin Lola, who was guarding outside of the tent, and Bella’s personal familiar demon, Demon World Princess Diaz, both came to greet her when they saw Bella come out.
“Mistress Bella, are... are you done enjoying yourself?”
“Lola, you should just call me Bella. If the other girls hear you calling me Mistress, they’re going to find it strange.”
“As expected of Master Bella. To be able to manage even a prideful woman like Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman... She’s a powerful dragon. Who knows how many dragon knights want to...”
“Enough, Diaz. Aren’t you a demon world princess yourself? In the end, you still submitted to me, so no need to boast about me. I thought about many interesting and fun plays recently. Would you like to try it?”
“No... I was wrong, Master.”
After a simple chit chat with her two beautiful subordinates, Bella had them keep an eye on the tent to prevent Empress Manya Felan from escaping or being taken away by someone. When she took Manya Felan under her control, Bella had actually already stood on opposite sites with the false emperor. Empress Manya Felan could not figure out where the Manasvir Empire’s false emperor came from after this decade or so. Her original plan was to send her capable female subordinates to attract the attention of the transmigrating Saviors from Olsylvia Academy.
However, the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. Not to mention her four subordinates, even Empress Manya Felan herself had fallen into the hands of the demoness, Bella, becoming a trophy of war. If Bella were any slower, Empress Manya Felan might have made contact with the talent stream Saviors such as God Chosen Knight Scott and the others. In that case, the script of the story would have changed into something else.
The camp by the lake at night was tranquil. Besides the scent of grilled fish that still remained in the air, most of the girls had already returned to their tents to rest. After a day’s work racking up points, the girls now had more points than most of the boys. Hence, it should be no problem for most of the girls to reach the semifinals.
Still, Bella was a little worried about the semifinals. The venue was the imperial city, which was no longer a human-controlled domain.
Although she had no idea what kind of evil things the false emperor was planning, Bella didn’t want the innocent girls to get caught up in it. After the qualifier ended tomorrow night, Bella was going to meet with the representatives of the southern and northern warlords, the four warlords of the Manasvir Empire, Miss Maschuter and Miss Louise, to discuss the coup with them.
“Big Sister Bella! You came to see the stars too?”
“Little Sister Lisha, not asleep yet? Be careful, or you’ll get panda eyes if you stay up too late.”
“Hmph. That’s mean, Big Sister Bella. Stop making jokes at others when you see them.”
Bella was on the camp’s outskirts, and she just happened to bump into her little sister, Lisha, who was out walking about randomly. Lisha was wearing a cute style swimsuit, as opposed to the more sexy bikini. With Lisha’s current figure, it wouldn’t fit her well, so she chose to wear the cute type instead.
Seeing that Lisha wasn’t going to say anything, the two held hands like a pair of real sisters, having a stroll around the edge of the lake under the stars. There was a rosy atmosphere surrounding them, as if a pair of lovers were having an outing under the moon.
Bella didn’t mind the fact that they weren’t really sisters. In her opinion, a big sister who didn’t think about pushing down her little sister was a failure, just like a brother with a little sister who wasn’t a siscon. If you have a little sister, then just push her down. As a Demon King, she didn’t need to care about the ethics of the human race. Besides, her little sister Lisha herself wasn’t human either. The rules and regulations of human morality could not control this pair of Demon Kings.
Just as Bella was looking for some wildflowers by the road to give to Lisha, she saw purple blood traces on the grass. At the end of the trail was a loli-type beautiful maiden lying on a flower bush. She had long purple hair, and under the starlight, it emitted a light purple shine, similar to crystals.
The loli had the smell of the dragon race on her. Bella had just made out with Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman and Golden Dragon Princess Laceman, so these dragon beauties’ unique fragrance was still lingering on her nose. After seeing the severely injured loli, the first thing Bella thought about was to “pick up” and “collect” this loli. She was completely nude and was tossed out in the wilds just like that, so it would be bad if she caught a cold. Bella might as well pick her up and take her back to the camp to tend to her wounds. It was warmer there.
“Big Sister Bella, be careful...”
As Bella approached the loli, a black figure descended from the sky. It seemed to be one of the demons pursuing this loli. After noticing that someone was interfering in others’ business, the demonic being slashed down with its sword without hesitation, aiming at Bella. It intended to cut down this frail-looking girl in half.
Bella turned her body slightly, just enough for the demonic being’s blade to miss. Then, she pressed her palm lightly against the armor at the location of the humanoid demon’s chest. With a flash of dark light, a black energy sword pierced right through the demonic being’s chest.
The demonic being had not expected that Bella was able to wield dark attribute attacks. It was severely injured after being caught off guard by that move. Bella raised her foot to give it a flying kick, knocking the heavily wounded demon into the lake not far away.
“You... damned woman... You dare launch a sneak attack on me... Wait, let me finish... Damn...”
“Sorry, but this is my territory. You... can disappear now!”
