169 To Take One's Woman

The youth in the air looked down at everyone and smiled as he began his descent, he felt the power of those within the crowd and knew there were a few who were more powerful than him. Then he looked over towards the Dragon Emperor to find the youth staring back at him, the thing that stood out to him the most was his expression of boredom and tiredness.

He never expected this Empire that was annexing entire Realms to be under the control of someone as young as him.

Once the youth landed on the stage faced me I could see his arm that was lit up with tattoos like the SoulBearer from before the only difference is that I can feel a connection to these tattoos.

Looking back I spot a wide smile on Verena's face, once more my glance lands upon the youth as he walks in front of me.

"My name is Haze, I am the Blessed One from the Saint Realm.

As its true ruler I am here to liberate it from your control, and take back my future wife even if it is by force. I did not want to fight you seeing as you have more than enough on your hands waiting to tear you apart.

So why not give Tisha to me and Leave the Saint Realm alone?"

Hahahaha. As I laugh at the youth Tisha is glaring at me with a look of rage before showing me a bit of cleavage before she runs behind Old man Li.

After seeing this I hear in my mind Tia confirming that I can add this girl into the Harem, she will and already has agreed to become merged with one of the others. I have noticed that the girls are trying to maintain that limit of 1 Thousand.

Nodding my head I see that Tisha has a savage look in her eyes, I have no idea what this youth did but I am an expert at taking another's woman if they are fighting. If there is no mutual love from both sides I have no shame taking and breaking them up, more for me is the way to live.

Reaching into the Void I pull out a pitch black sword engraved with a coiling dragon all the way down to the tip of the blade, black mist starts to emit from the sword turning the brightly lit room into a world of darkness.

As the darkness centers around me a small barrier erects itself around me, before entering my body and returning the room to its once bright state.

Those few former Rulers in the crowd that were sure they were stronger than me looked at the weapon in my hands in fear, they then looked at the relaxed face of the youth. He was surprised in the spike in power I showed but after a while smiled as he was excited.

"I have wanted to test my power against Old Li but you will do nicely instead, no one ever wishes to fight against me anymore once I broke through and Became a Saint. I hear that your people call it the Void God Realm, I like that a bit more so I hope you don't mind me taking that as well.

Once I have beaten you I will let you feel what it's like to have their Realm taken over by another."

Saying so he took out a sword from the void as well, as he did I once again looked back at the look of hysteria on Verena's face. She was enjoying this much more than she should, as she was laughing at this fight many assumed she was laughing at my coming hard times including many of my wives.

What they did not know was that Verena was indeed laughing at this fight but not about my misfortune but the Saint Realm's Void God.

This boy is very luck and unlucky to have found that power he now wields.

Taking a look at his arm I see he is not going to go all out against me and instead test me first.

The power within his arm is, the same power I learned in order to learn how to forge weapons from Verena in the past, over time I learned to master that power and to this day I have only used it against Gold Luster, I shake my head and smile as I may have to use it again.

No longer wanting to prolong this fight, the sword in my hand glows a bright green as I rush at the youth in front of me.

As I do a barrier is erected around us, I see that Verena is the one who created it this time rather than Tia who has been doing it before this. If she took over that means I will feel some pain during this fighter after all, I was hoping for an easy and one sided fight in my favor.

As the two swords meet a flash of light blinds those watching, while the youth and I move to the side before charging at each other again.

I cleave right and try to cut through both his sword and his body, knowing he can't die to it.

Instead of dodging my attack or parrying it like before he appears in front of me and tries to pierce my chest with his sword. I allow him to do so before moving the the right, lifting my free hand and firing a beam of concentrated energy at him.

The beam melts the sword he used to block it and then crashed against the barrier around us.

Verena gave a shout as it hit and I stopped my attack.

Looking back I spot a bit of blood leaking out of her mouth, no more beam attacks is what everyone of my wives have just yelled at me.

During this whole time fighting against all these challengers I have held back so much just so that my racial traits as a Guardian would kick in and allow me to quickly gain power. Fighting on the verge of death against so many people in one day is rather annoying.

The light from the beam attack starts to fade away from my hand leaving a faint green mist of light.

Both the youth in front of me and the crowd of Challengers look at me with slight worry and a few of them began to emit energy, I knew this would happen but Verena said this is needed to show everyone that the Dragon Empire is not a power to push over nor does it solely rely on its Ruler.

As the many Void Gods in the crowd begin their way forward towards me no longer waiting for a turn to fight me, my many wives who are in the Void and Void God Realm move forward and face them.

"We have been waiting for you to wise up and join hands but you are to late our plan to help the Emperor regain his power is already nearing completion so we will fight you in his stead."

Gold Luster and a few of my Generals walk out as well from behind Verena taking to the front and preparing for a battle in my Palace. This causes my face to twist in panic as they begin launching attacks at each other creating a colorful light show, I quickly tap my foot on the ground.

The fighting stopped for a moment for everyone to cast looks at me, they all then scanned the area and noticed it was a dying planet that was near the Void. Many were fearful of this ability of mine while others ignored it and tried their best to reach me and Haze.

Tristan and the others were taking this as practice, while my wives who have yet to reach the Void God Realm took this as a challenge. Vesta looked over to the Healed youth Prexma and spoke.

"Get over here and fight me!" She yelled this causing a few to look over in shock, everyone knew Vesta was very competitive and never liked to lose or be behind others when it came to ranking.

She lost against this youth after beating him and she would never allow such a thing to happen again. Prexma looked over at me as he stood up from his seat, I nodded my head and he smiled as he walked over and prepared to fight against Vesta for the third time.

While I looked away Haze took this as an opportunity to attack me, his newly summoned sword went through the side of my neck. As it did he saw the wound visibly heal as it was being damaged by his strike, this alarmed many of the people fighting.

They saw the same thing before when I did not dodge the piercing attack towards my chest but they all assumed I possessed an ability that allowed me to faze through solid objects. Those who saw me heal through the damage knew now that I possess an insanely powerful regeneration ability instead.

Haze only smiled as he changed weapons and slashed at me once more, this time his weapon glowing with a red and purple flame.

I knew he changed weapons to deal with my healing but I still did not dodge the attack allowing it to hit me, this caused Verena who already crushed her opponent to look over at me in rage.

At this point in time a few of the fights ended and when one of my wives finished their opponent they would go and assist others who were about to lose. That was to say many of my wives here who were training were taking turns fighting against those who were stronger than them.

While they did not want to be the ones to help my wives get stronger Valara, Veshara and Tia informed them that cooperating would be the best thing if they wanted to stay alive.

They all looked over in shock as I let the attack that was most likely able to nullify my healing ability hit me, to the shock of everyone around but Valara who already seen this and Tia who was become my number one fan, everyone else expected me to suffer serious damage against this attack.

Like before the attack was healed through without leaving so much of a scratch on my brown skin.

Shock was all over Verena's face as for the youth Haze he lept backwards and the lit up tattoos on his arm finally began to shine. He knew holding back was a mistake from the beginning, he could feel it now that I was never holding back.

To everyone who felt energy and power from their opponent, one could tell when someone was holding back but not with me. I emit energy when excited for a fight for when my blood is pumping, while this spike is seen as a boost in my power or me going all out it is just a momentary leak.

This youth before me as he was unlocking his full power could see the vast and empty void within me, as he looked at me he looked directly into my eyes and let out a howl of madness before dropping to the ground unmoving but still breathing.

Closing my eyes I turn over and ask Old Li to help the youth, Old Li shook his head before looking over and ordering the youths followers to take care of him.

Everyone watched as a massive Serpent coiled around me and blood leak out of my shut eyes.

I looked at the youth with pity as I held my eyelid closed, whatever he saw will leave a scar that will make him more powerful or destroy his mind.

Perhaps it will be both and this day will be something I look back on.

Verena rushed over to me as well as most of my wives, who were no longer battling with their prey.

"I am fine, is this enough fighting? Can I rest now? I am going through my past lives to learn everything about them, it takes me a year to get through even one of them completely.

Do you know how many years it will take me to finish watching all they have been through... No.

Forget it, you did this for my own good, so let's leave it at that.

Looking over at my wives that held their heads down when I snapped at them, I spot Trisha who is already merged with a few and she even became the form they decided on and is the dominant personality.

This gets me to smile as I move over to her and as I do everyone still fighting finds themselves unable to move and back within the palace. Before leaving I look over and say.

"Take your fighting out of my Palace! If I come back and it is in ruins I will hold you all accountable, you have no idea how long it took me to build this one room."
