Part 1
Using the broad sword as a shovel King dug a six-foot hole berrying the Tyrant Queen.
After putting her in the grave he shoved the dirt back into it covering her wholly.
It wasn’t a proper burial but it sufficed as a one since it was done by the hands of an opponent who she tried to kill.
For King this was a generous send-off, for it was his old self in his previous world he would have defiled her corpse.
Note: Not in a disgusting manner!
After the burial, King stapped her sword to the front of her grave as a symbol of it being grave and the identity of a warrior, before leaving the place.
Arriving in a place far away from the grave he stood with open arms and faced east closing his eyes as he embraced the rising sun that illuminated the world with light to show a new beginning for some and a new day for others.
A few moments later King opened his eyes speaking to himself.
‘Before the end of this day, I will achieve my long-desired dream and walk this world as a creature that’s not human…’
[Master now that you’re done!] Said Lilian a little hesitant.
“It is fine I already saw the message or is there something more you like to add?”
[Yes my master, unexpectally killing that woman has rewarded you with something that would benefit the creation of your form not only one but two, your main form and an alternate form, so if I might be out of line I suggest further looking into this place as you might find the other ⅔ of the requirements.]
Hearing what Lilian said to him King thought hard for a while before agreeing with what she said, and with a release of breath King calmed himself retracting his ominous aura.
Though unbeknownst to him this action of retracting his aura has saved the life of someone or rather the life of a beast.
A mile away from him was a creature that was treading carefully not wanting to be noticed by him as it hid its presence completely to conceal its massive form.
This creature that was headed in King’s way without notice was a lioness with a horse-like mane that was made of flames going all the way from its head to the tail.
A huge lioness if to be accurate as its size was around 60 to 70 meters in height alone not to mention its length that exceeded 90 meters.
A creature of this size is mainly giving high threat levels in areas where humans inhabit.
But being in this place isolated from the world such a creature can only be regarded as a king of an area of its own like a human king who rules a kingdom.
As the creature neared King, intelligence could be seen from its eyes which is rare considering it being a monster.
The creature though acted in a manner of a predator and was not hunting, rather it was going in there with a motive, and by the time King realized turning to where the creature was it was kinda already too late.
Standing a few meters away from him the creature’s eyes met his but it did not attack nor did it have any hostility towards him.
“What do you think you are doing do you take me a fool sneaking up on me like that?” In clear hostility, King voiced his anger as one of the things he despises is being looked down on like prey.
[I beg you pardon human I come not for a hunt nor a challenge but as I messenger!] In a clear voice and in contrast to what he was expecting the lioness spoke to him showing an intimate behavior.
Though King disregarded that looking at the creature squintingly.
The other party waiting for King to feel comfortable kept staring at him with its huge eyes.
“OK! Say you’re message.” After observing the beast for some time King replied.
[I’m called Kimara daughter of the Flame Empress and I bring you a message from her… Conveying message! “For if you are the king who seeks world domination and the ultimate form I’m the amber that holds the two missing keys in my heart seek me in an audience and obtain which that is your desire. And fear not for I’m a follower who has waited for the day you make your dreams a reality”… End of message!] With some unknown expression Kimara the lioness said.
“...”
King was left speechless.
What did he just hear?
Not to mention the fact that an evolved beast was talking to him like any other ordinary human being.
The message it conveyed was not only enticing but also felt like a message left behind by his most trusted companions who are the subordinates he longs to reunite.
“Take me to her!” His eyes blazing like fire he hoared at the beast to take him to her mother.
A few hours later…
Standing in front of a massive mountain that was carved like a palace were King and the huge lioness who seemed like an ordinary lioness in front of the mountain not to mention how King was like an ant in front of it.
On the way to this place, King encountered so many big and small cats that he thought this place was a paradise of felines, no it was a paradise kingdom of all cats no matter the species or size and strength.
In front of the mountain palace gates stood guard two statue-like lions who glared at King with fierce hostility eyes while blocking the entrance with their rock-like paws.
[What is the meaning of this?] Kimara the lioness questioned the guards who blocked their way feeling disrespected.
[We seek thee forgiveness O Princess of Flames.] Said one of the lion statue guards who was to the right.
[We cannot let a filthy bug have an audience with Her Highness the Flame Empress.] Said the other lion statue guard who was on the left firmly putting its paw in front of them.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
[Enough of your disrespects! Stand down before I smite thee with my flames…] Roaring furriesly Kimara the lioness prepared to launch her flames at them but before she could do that a flickering flame appeared which ended the lives of the guards that stood in their way.
King was the first to notice as he was also preparing to strike the statue lion guards simply because they called him a bug but before he could even move he felt an incredible heat coming out of nowhere resulting in him stopping to observe.
It was like space was being distorted as a flickering little flame materialized in between the statue lion guards emitting a scorching heat that could melt a person like a bottle before an intensing furness heat.
Then Kimara who was angered and preparing to unleash her flames felt it right after King’s realization stopping herself from moving as it saved her.
Then what happened next could be summarized as melting clay inside a volcanic inferno.
Hrmnp
Kimara huffed her chest feeling like they deserved what happened to them as they dared to step in her way of delivering a guest of the Empress.
Proceeding to enter the palace no one obstructed their way as any beast who was in the palace made way for them though there was a smug look of hostility and superiority given to King as he moved alongside the daughter of the Flame Empress.
Inside the throne room sat a gorgeous red-haired lady with a red dress made of flames that covered some part of her body leaving the rest as it is.
Her body to put it into words was simply seductive strands, warm to the touch pearl.
A purely organic gemstone sculptured body.
Her eyes though were what made her 150% more seductive and beautiful as it was enchanting flames that called out for one to fall to their knees.

Part 2
Seeing the promised person standing before her, the Flame Empress thought back to the time she bargained with the five mysterious individuals.
Some time ago in the past in a barren devastated land where everything was scorched or corroded many corpses lay around having died of fire or torn apart.
A fierce battle had raged in this now barren and devastated land for ten long days.
After the battle was settled, only 158,000 heavily armored soldiers remained out of 300,000.
The soldiers had surrounded an injured colossal lioness lying on the ground, measuring about 170 meters in length.
And laying on top of the injured colossal lioness was an Emerald being the size of 50 feet surrounded by darkness.
The Emerald being, held a sword made of darkness in hand trying to cut the head of the colossal lioness whose eyes looked lifeless.
Just as the Emerald being was about to strike the sword made of darkness down.
“Would you look at who fell into our web!” A tall female giant spoke with a creepy smile while standing on top of a mountain canyon.
The female giant brandished a long odachi blade that oozed out a ghostly aura that traveled into the distance.
What happened next was a wealing female ghost that appeared in the sky above where the titanous beast was lying down releasing an earth-piercing screech sound that knocked out the hundreds of thousands of soldiers around the Emerald being and the titanous beast.
Surprised the Emerald being, raised its head but that turned out to be a mistake as the next thing she heard was the voice of someone and she was flying tens of miles away slowly losing consciousness.
“Deathly Sound Bagua”
It was a light-speed attack by a shadowy female wielding a spiked club imbued with aura and some other unknown power.
After the hit, the shadowy female landed on top of the previous spot the Emerald being was standing on looking to the horizon where she sent the being she just hit.
“Man I sure sent her far, maybe I should have used a little force just to knock her out.” The female turned her head to the side where some other female giants appeared. There were about four of them, all between 20 feet tall and 36 feet tall, with her being about 17’8 ft tall.
“You think you should have? Go sober up on the side we are here for business not to play around.” The tallest amongst them questioned her before pointing her wrapped-up spear to a faraway place.
“Hiccup… The heck you say you wanna spar or something?” The female who arrived first retorted sounding unhappy.
“You two enough we are short on time and since you are drunk you can stay here to oversee the clean up the rest of us will split in two one group sealing that Tyrant brat and the other should take this beast to our rendezvous point, let’s scatter.” A female giant with wings spoke up clapping at the end of her speech to indicate separating.
“Wait!”
The short giant spoke but before she could finish shadow appeared in the ground sucking in the colossal beast and another portal-like shadow next to the female giant sword woman and the winged giant taking them somewhere else.
She was left alone there but with a sigh, she clapped and hundreds of giant assassins clad in black appeared.
“Ahh… Clean this place.” In a bothered manner, she spoke walking off to find a shade.

A few hours later
Inside a place that was carved out of a mountain the five giant individuals sat across a gorgeous red-haired female who was as big as them in a stone table.
The gorgeous red-haired female was bandaged up and seemed to be recovering from a lot of damage but she was able to speak with them.
[So you’re asking me to do what exactly?] The gorgeous red-haired female asked sounding puzzled.
“You don’t have to act up we know a lot about you and it was us who directed you to come here.” The female giant with the odachi said moving her Hannya mask to the side, she was a dark-skinned beautiful woman.
“But something we didn’t expect was for you to bring company with you though it just made our plan for the future more easier.” The female giant with the military-like uniform and musketeer said pointing her rifle at the gorgeous red-haired.
“Yes, what do you say since our goal is the same why don’t you give us a helping hand after all you made it your destiny to birth the strongest creature in the world.” The female giant with wings spoke while pushing back the cloak that hid her face, showing eyes that glowed red.
“Or would you have us do to you what we did to the brat that almost took your life?” With a threatening tone, the female who was 17’8 ft tall spoke making the room chilly.
Glancing at everyone surrounding the table the tallest female giant opened her mouth speaking to everyone.
“Since the day you came into this world out of that place, we had our eyes set on you and planned to get what you hold with you no matter what and you being in our hands today means either your fate would be tied to us or we end it leaving you with unaccomplished dream… Choose wisely for we are being generous.” After finishing what she had to say she made eye contact with the gorgeous red-haired female.
After some time of thinking the gorgeous red-haired female said… “I’ll comply on one condition.”

Part 3
Arriving in the throne room King’s heart jumped as a whistle escaped his mouth.
Though he quickly stopped himself before he disgraced himself with a slap leaving a red mark on his cheek.
‘Phew that was close I almost had a morning wood!’ Thinking to himself like that the system inside him was left speechless.
[!!!]
Sitting before him on the throne was the gorgeous red-haired Flame Empress shining brightly as a ring of flame appeared behind her like a sun…
-The Flame Empress
Name: Emberly
Species: Flame Amber Lioness Titan
Ability: Devouring Flames
Core Stage: V
Size: Height 103 Meter - Length 170 Meter
Threat Level: Extreme Red

Because such memories suddenly came back to her upon seeing the promised one she spaced out and her flames which moved on her emotions activated itself.
Thus the appearance of the flame ring behind her which she calls Empress Radiance.
Upon returning to her senses the Flame Empress gave a glare that said are you really who I was expecting!?
To her glaring King also locked eyes with her maintaining composure.
And like that both parties stared at each other without greetings trying to see through each other.
