Chapter 2603 Empress

Chapter 2603 Empress

"We will issue a Challenge Sequence," Minerva declared.

Octavia and Seraphina looked toward one another. They had just undergone a Challenge Sequence, and it had not gone well. Plus, even if they issued one, it didn't mean that the Vast Dream Pavilion had to accept. They could just sit on their hands.

In addition, they had fallen to the 9999th rank, sharing that rank with two others. They didn't even have the points necessary to trigger one in the first place. Even the middling Dream Pavilions had more to give than they did.

"I will give the two of you until the penultimate round starts. I want you to complete enough missions to return to the top 1000. Immediately.

"By the end of the Gathering of Kingdoms, we will be entering the top 100. We've done enough time biding.

"With the status of the top 100, I will be able to project my soul directly into their Pavilion and find their general location."

The two women bit their tongues. Hadn't Minerva heard about how Leonel booted everyone out before? They would have a better chance of just asking one of the top 100 Dream Pavilions for that general location... but even that would be a gamble.

It was doubtful that those Pavilions were paying attention that closely. If the top 100 was capable of this, and yet the Human Bubbles were still fine, the reason for that was obvious: they couldn't, or rather, wouldn't act so willfully.

The humans were an insignificant remnant to them, and it wasn't worth pissing off the Gods of the neutral factions, a faction that made up the majority to begin with. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Minerva was playing with fire by doing this. Not only would she be making an enemy out of the 100th ranked Pavilion, but she was potentially going to become a thorn in the side of the Gods.

But it was a calculated risk on her part at the same time.

However, that disgust was quickly suppressed by an even greater rage, one that painted the picture of Elrik's visage.

Her chest began to heave again before she could slowly rein it in.

She was above it, she was above it all. A mere human couldn't stop her steps.

However, the likes of Elrik had no right to make her act like this.

She was a Queen. No, she was an Empress that should be indifferent to the world around her. She could take things in calmly, observe them in silence, and then act decisively.

She was free to look toward her enemies with disdain, but only after she understood them thoroughly.

That was her balance, her own unique perspective on the world.

When she reached that conclusion, she felt a calmness overwhelm her... a tranquility.

Her Dream Force shimmered and rose. From the Higher Life State, it rose to the Quasi Creation State and even took a peek into the true Creation State before rebounding back.

However, from start to end, much like the Regal Empress that she was, the fluctuations were subtle and imperceptible.

Her temperament became more refined, and her grace returned. Her previous demeanor, calm and soothing, came back on another level entirely.

Even so, she only basked in the change for but a moment. This was what she deserved; it was only a matter of course that she would have such a breakthrough.

Her mind turned to the remnants of the Gem Dream Pavilion.

"They can be used," she said lightly, a smile tugging at her pink lips.
