171 Void Barrier

Standing in the room waiting for the last few Elders to show up everyone waits, some staring at Dashnell an the two sweat drenched women near him.

They did not understand why the trio were in such a condition but did not ask, they could see the look in their eyes as if they were interrupted from finishing and if anyone talked to them at this moment in time they might unintentionally be attacked.

Standing in a corner stood Nala and Verena who gave the trio a icy stare, inside this room many mental conversations were happening and the tension inside the room was growing.

While the room was indeed silent many people have already started up conversations all over the room with others while waiting for the last few to arrive.

Their waiting did not last long as the door was soon pushed open and Grady and Tristan walked in.

Many were unsure how to react when the duo walked in and seated themselves right next to the Emperor, in this meeting many were unsure of the relationship between these two men and the Emperor.

As they seated I stood up and looked over at all those within this room, there were over 5 thousand different races here to represent their people or Realm.

All here to hear these few words from me, while many more wished to attend. Who here is not sending back everying they are seeing and hearing to those of their Realm.

"Today we are gathered to hear about and update everyone on the progress of all the Realms now under the control of the Dragon Empire. I will also inform you all of other rising powers that have taken action against our aggression towards other Realms.

First let me say to the Realms now under our control, rebel if you wish I will just come back and take you over again and again no matter how many times it takes. Besides I am sure you are happy otherwise you would not have come here when I summoned you.

Everyone here has seen massive improvements in their Realms growth and the growth of those that inhabit it, this is good news for me more than it is for you. Soon you will all notice a massive Gate, only those who have entered or are above the Void Realm will be able to sense its presence.

Those of you who have reach the Void God Realm have all noticed or tried to interact with Lilly, behind this Gate is someone who is like her. The only difference is they want nothing on this side of the Gate to remain when they take it over and kill her.

Lilly's death is the fastest way to achive that goal, while he can not enter the Gate so long as Lilly is alive, that does not mean he can not send in untold numbers of his minions to end her life.

There are two reasons he is attacking our Reality instead of another, one is the age of young Lilly while she is powerful. She is far to young and is easy prey for him, but that is only to you all who have never been able to leave the Void that surrounds and protects us.

The Void that everyone knows is indeed a Barrier I created while Lilly was still young, I placed it there before I went into a deep sleep, only to lose my memories of it all until recently.

I tell you all of this so you are prepared and not surpriesed by the war that will come in the future, how far of into the future is it, that I will not tell you. I know that if the time is unknown to you, you will act now and see each passing day as the one when it will happen.

Doing this will make it so you never slack and are never caught off guard or unprepared thinking you have enough time." After this small speech many translate and report back to their Homeworlds.

A few move forward towards me with more questions, I have Tia and Nala handle them while I introduce both Tristan and Grady who are my Son and Grandson. This shocks many as they look at me in awe at how my age is not shown by my apperance.

during the rest of the time the meeting was taking place idle chatter among the many reps happend at a smooth pace, the only sound that was uncommon was the archs of lightning jumping from horn to horn on my head.

When everyone was finished transfering the information they just receved and asked all their follow up questions I went onto the next topic.

"Out of the 78 Realms that exist within the protection of my Void Barrier, I now rule 10 of these Realms. Many of you are the former rulers of these Realms and will retain that position so long as you remain loyal to the Dragon Empire.

This is one of the reasons many have not rebelled against the Dragon Empire these past few hundred years. Soon war will intensify as many of the other Realms are joining forces and merging together, the reason for this can be tied to the Dragon Empires rapid growth.

The other reason is that other Powers are Taking over Realms much like we are doing, we have 10 under our current control. Those powers have 5 and 8 under their control, but the truth is I have already taken over 27 Realms they are not present here today as they are currently active.

While we sit here talking they are on the move rushing to bring my total count to 35!"

Tia looked around the the many Leaders and powerful Void Gods to give them all a meaningful glance, letting them in on this information would serve as a deterent to those who would try and ally with other Realms or any thoughts of rebelling at a later date when they are stronger.

They all understood this as well and a few of them understood that they are now truly part of the Dragon Empire now that they have been given such information.

One Elder from the Crimson Realm spoke up when everyone was talking amongst themselves again, he wanted to know how soon they could also join the front lines or if they were not yet trusted enough to be used as combat forces.

Tia was the one to answer him before I had the chance to.

"If any of you wish to join the war effort then say behind after this meeting and I will send you into active war zones.

Currently General Grady is here to see which of you would send forces with him to take control of the Realm near his, he has been at peace with them until recently and now needs more troops to move against them as many of his forces are going to be leaving for another battlefield."

As Tia finished the Elder went forward and stood next to her showing his Realms attitude, the next person to volunteer was the youth from the Saint Realm and then more followed. Prexma was about to move next to Tia as well but I pulled him aside before he could.

"You will joining me Prexma, your power is uniqe and I have a person I wish for you to meet.

They will train you and then you will be given the freedom to travle to any of the battlefields as its Commander, if you are willing of course." Prexma only smiled as he stood next to me.

We then waited for Tia who took charge of the meeting to carry on with other matters and discussions that followed, from time to time Nala or Verena would chim in and speak as well.

Once the meeting was over Tia and Sophia gave me a knowing look before they vanished and I could only shake my head as my eyes glowed silver, then with Prexma following behind I too vanished.

When Prexma opened his eyes he saw before him a massive Spiraling Tower, besides the entrence he spotted a few others who seemed to have been waiting for quite some time.

He looked over at me and I signaled for him to meet his teachers, one was Envy this child of mine and a few others who were good at soul manipulation and the manipulation of Space and Time.

I needed Prexma to reach a high level of power faster than he could ever imagine as he as a key piece in the coming wars, GoldLuster was also among this bunch of people. He was not here to teach but to learn, he saw a few other Generals and promising talents in the group.

He knew he was being given a chance to gain more power than he had previously and besides him was a beautiful woman that many knew as one of the Emperors daughters.

To this day only 2 of the Emperors daughters have married outside of the Royal Family, not only are they not treated differently by their sisters who have fallen to their lust for their own father they are treated as priceless treasures by everyone of their sisters and mothers.

Many were shocked to see this young girl following GoldLuster around at first but over time she finally got him to love her back, it took 50 years but whatever condition he set for the girl she accomplished it in 50 years.

Every Major Power tried to win her favor when GoldLuster first refused her affection but they all failed to catch her eye, as she still insisted on him.

They could do nothing to GoldLuster as he was far to powerful and soon they learned he entered the Void Realm and was close to becoming a Void God, all this on top of the fact that the Emperor favored GoldLuster highly.

To this Day the number of Void Gods within the Dragon Empire was low and only the Emperor and his wives were at that level or close to it, that was until Tristan entered it and trained a few talented Generals who were close to the Void God level, helping them become Void Gods.

GoldLuster wanted to reach that Realm but has been stuck in the Void Realm for longer than many know, he has trained in islolated time worlds many times and has yet to breakthrough no matter how hard he tries, his Edict is something that he has told no one about exept the Empeor.

His Edict was something he was worried about for a while so he told the only person he though would understand his desire, that person was the only one GoldLuster treated like a God.

The Edict GoldLuster tried to create touched on the origin of Destruction itself, Lilly discovered his desire as soon as his Edict was taking shape and wanted to prevent it but was stopped by me.

I always knew he would do this and I have waited long enough, now he and Prexma will become my greatest weapons with both being loyal and willing to die for me.

One with the Edict, Origin of Destuction and the other Edict being the Edict of Void Space.

Lilly did not understand why I would let GoldLuster create such an Edict as it was not only overwelmingly powerful but could also tap into my reserves.

Meaning once GoldLuster finished his Edict he would be able to become a vassle of Destruction and become a true God of Destruction.

That would be able to use my power as he saw fit, and he would also function as a literal God of Destruction receiving orders from both me and Lilly on things that needed to wiped out.

The look in GoldLusters eyes were golden in color as it looked like a drop of melted gold being shaped into a massive world. He was pushing himself to understand Destruction even as he waited for what ever I had planned for him and those gathered here today.
