Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Princess Seraphyne
Just moments before the whole Earth Realm fully collapsed, the Serpentine Empress waved her trembling hand, and from it, a jade token appeared.
The jade token depicted the image of a ferocious wolf, and the appearance of this token further accelerated the realm’s destruction. It was yet another object that the crumbling realm cannot tolerate, as its level far exceeds the realm.
The Empress’s eyes darkened as she crushed the jade token. As soon as she did so, the token turned into motes of moonlight that condensed into a wolf’s eye.
"Hahaha! My beautiful and enchanting Princess Seraphyne. You finally called for me!" A loud booming voice echoed in the realm.
The voice was released by the wolf’s eye, yet the voice’s owner was countless realms away from the Earth Realm. A distance so far that a mortal can spend their lives traveling without ever reaching the voice’s source.
He was so far away that normal means of transportation were far from enough, yet even with such a distance, he was still able to speak through the wolf’s eye.
"Hmm?"
The voice’s owner sensed that something was amiss. If it doesn’t do anything, it would take only one more second before the crumbling realm it was summoned to would fully crumble.
Before that can happen, the eye emitted a formless power that temporarily solidified the area where the Serpentine Empress, no, her real name was Seraphyne, a Princess from a far distant Empire.
Even the realm’s rejection of a power that exceeded what it could tolerate was nothing in front of the invisible and formless power that the eye emitted. The space would be stable as long as the eye does not stop using its power.
In theory, the space and crumbling realm can be eternally preserved as long as the eye is there.
Even from such an infinitely long distance, the eye’s owner can still transmit enough power to stabilize the crumbling realm temporarily. One can only imagine how powerful he really is.
"My Dear Princess, it seems like you get yourself in quite a trouble hahahaha!" The eye continued after sensing the surroundings and the state of the Princess.
"You are so weak right now. Even the lowliest of servants can defeat you without effort. And this aura... a law is affecting you. Even if you survive today, just by your own effort, it might take hundreds of years before you can recover. My Princess is so beautiful yet pitiful"
Despite saying that the Princess was pitiful, there was no authentic pity that could be sensed from the man. In fact, it even sounds like he was delighted by the Princess’s current state.
Well, why wouldn’t he? Only in such a state did the Princess come to a decision to crush the jade token. A decision that would eternally alter her life.
If she were not pushed into this state, a proud person like her would never make that decision.
"Shut up! Take me away from this godforsaken realm! I don’t want to stay here even a single second longer" Princess Seraphyne said angrily.
This realm has become such a painful memory. If this were not the realm she ended up in, with her power, she would have long recovered already.
It doesn’t even need to be a high-level realm. She just needed to be in a realm with complete laws, and she could recover her power.
Alas, she was previously too injured and on the brink of death to the point that she could not choose which realm she could recuperate in.
The Earth Realm was the closest realm she could enter to recover. Too bad that she didn’t expect that it has broken laws.
The broken laws even have such a strong corruptive effect that she had to abandon her previous cultivation and walk an unorthodox path just to keep some power. A power that previously would never have entered her eyes if she were not on the brink of death.
"Of course! Of course! How can I not save my Dear Princess? However, by crushing the jade token and receiving my help. I believe that the Princess knows what will happen next, right?" The eye said.
He seems not to have any inclination to rescue Princess Seraphyne if she does not acknowledge what it means to crush the token and receive his help.
With an expression of disgust, Princess Seraphyne said, "I-I know. I-I... I will be your... w-woman!" She spat.
Just speaking that single sentence was enough to make her almost die from disgust. There is no free lunch in this world; if she were to receive help and be rescued, she would be the man’s wife.
She was someone who possessed beauty enough to topple nations. She can make people kneel just by using her beautiful face.
There was no man in this world who would not think of her as beautiful. Her beauty was so deadly that she had to always cover her face to avoid being annoyed by men.
Not only was she a beauty that could eclipse the sun and the moon themselves. She also has a prestigious background.
Born as the Princess of a powerful Empire that owns thousands of realms. In front of such a colossal Empire, forget about a mere 6th fusion mage that was merely equal to an Apprentice Mage, even a Great Mage is but an ant. Barely qualified to be a servant.
An Empire so large and long-lasting that a mortal’s lifespan is nothing but a mere moment for the figures leading the Empire.
With their high cultivation level, thousands of years were nothing in front of them.
As a prideful Princess who was not only so beautiful she could literally enslave people just by using her face, she was also extremely talented.
She was able to make her ’Imprint’ and rose to a level even stronger than a Great Mage easily. She originally had such a bright future, if not for a tragedy.
Now, this very princess would become someone’s wife. The wife of the wolf eye’s owner. While she would have the official position as his wife, she knows one thing...
Despite her otherworldly beauty, she alone cannot satisfy such a lecherous man. Even if other women’s beauty far paled in comparison to hers, this disgusting man would still continue taking countless concubines.
That was why she was unwilling to make the decision to crush the jade token, as she would need to be this man’s wife.
Sometimes, when a person was so proud, lowering themselves to something as simple as being the wife of a lecherous man was a fate worse than death.
Unfortunately, when she received the token, the agreement was that if this man helped her, she would become his.
"Hahahaha! My dear consort, my beautiful wife!" The wolf’s eye broke into a booming laughter filled with delight. He laughed so hard that even the space that he temporarily stabilized trembled as if it would collapse at any moment from now.
"Shut up! Stop laughing. Hurry up!" The Princess said impatiently. She really doesn’t want to stay even a single second longer in this disgusting realm.
If not for the realm crumbling on its own and her current weakened state, she would have crushed it on her own. Too bad that even if she were to exert all the power she can currently muster, it would be far from enough.
"Alright, my dear consort. I would grant your wish. But this realm is really too far, and I am currently in the middle of an important breakthrough, and as much as I want to fetch you as soon as possible, it would have to wait"
"Right now, I only left a wisp of my consciousness to take care of really important matters. For now, I will help you wash away the realm’s corruption and help you enter the nearest realm."
"However, the corruption was too deep. I reckon that you will be in a coma for years while I use my power to cleanse you. But rest assured, all the nearby realms are weak. I will leave a wisp of my power to protect you"
Despite the owner of the wolf’s eye being powerful, it was only that... powerful. He was not as special as Rezen with his farm cheat or Claude, the realm’s chosen and universe’s darling, who can easily wash away the broken realm’s corruption. This was especially so because he is so far away and can only transmit a tiny portion of his power.
If not, it wouldn’t take years, but at most a few days to remove the realm’s corruption. However, this feat alone already showed just how powerful he really was.
Even from such a distance and only able to transmit a tiny portion of his power while his whole consciousness is not focused on the task at hand, he can remove a realm’s corruption and send the Serpentine Empress to a nearby realm.
Even Rezen and Claude had to scheme and use origin energy just to enter another realm with complete laws!
