Visiting
After the war ended, and the results of every Region participating in it were revealed to the world, time passed, and the situation quickly stabilized. There was one thing that happened that made the inhabitants of every Region, including the northern Regions, already conquered before the last wars. That was: the Empress Shuna, now their Empress, toured around these Regions. She would've wanted to spend a day in every settlement and City, but time didn't allow her to do so immediately.
However, Empress Shuna could at least manage touring every City, Small City, and vassal organization’s individual territories. From the north to the southeastern Regions belonging to them, a little more than a couple weeks had passed, and the day for the Glorious Victory day was becoming closer and closer. On another day, as the Empress was walking the northern Regions’ beaches alone since most of the Regions’ inhabitants were busy choosing their new homes and giving birth to many talented children or were still in the process of.
Whoosh! “... Found you,” Heian Ciemnosc’s voice sounded immediately after a whooshing sound neared Shuna. She didn’t avoid the incoming noise and even slightly leaned her body backwards. She felt a robust but slender chest cushion her fall, and his pale arms encapsulated her lower stomach from behind. Smelling his scent, Shuna closed her eyes, and after a while, Heian Ciemnosc whispered into her right ear. “You’ll have decades’ worth of time to visit everything. Why are you so anxious?”
“Yes, I will have that much time. But without you. What’s the point then?” Shuna said, letting his hands come up her stomach, lightly rubbing her well-covered oversized breasts, and landing on her collarbone. She held his pale hands with her brown ones and caressed them lovingly, contrasting them beautifully and casually. Heian Ciemnosc had fallen silent, but after his hands passed through her breasts, he woke up and enjoyed her hands’ passive massage a little longer before uttering a sentence. “Alright, after we’re done with preparations, I will visit every place with you before I go. Is that befitting of my Empress?”
“... Hm~,” Shuna’s lips tweaked and curled at their corners. Her strongly determined eyes narrowed, and she nodded with her left hand lifting his and bringing its palm to the tip of her nose. She booped against it and then let out a soft set of words, “I couldn’t want anything else, my love.”
Rustle. Heian Ciemnosc picked her up and slowly brought Shuna into the water. His dark coat covered them as her clothes were torn off one by one by his evil dark claws. Shuna looked on with a little smile, like staring at a child unwrapping a present, and felt proud when her bare features were exposed and vulnerable to anything he wanted to do to her. Her eyes slowly closed as she began feeling the usual. Her body trembled, and everywhere his moth went, her skin intermittently numbed and her pores closed until she felt unavoidable spasms strike her little passage.
It didn’t take long for her to feel his intrusion, and she opened her eyes to look at his darkest eyes as he entered her. But she was cutely surprised and baffled when she saw his pervertedly pale, handsome face grin at her and his hips’ movement halting. They were already nearly 100 meters deep underwater, but it didn’t impair their speech or breathing, for that matter. “Why are you stopping? What is it?”
“I was just thinking, are the southerner Regions really just willing to become part of the Empire?” Heian Ciemnosc said as his glans were halfway through the carnal paradise of his woman. Shuna gulped, feeling like she could be sweating bullets right now, and tried self-impaling herself, but she was helpless to achieve it. He was much more powerful than her. Left with no other choice, Shuna looked up, desperate to get fucked, and answered him.
“Of course!” Her voice was clear, but her needs were even more evident. “This was her idea. It’s thanks to her convincing most other Regions to accept my enterprises’ efforts to evolve the trade between our sea Regions. We even offered to help to carry other Regions’ goods, but they refused. In the end, thanks to her help, we could barely start such a business. Ever since the war with the top 5 organization, and it is also Matriarch Zenevella who helped us keep things peaceful.”
“If it wasn’t because we defeated the Undermudmusk Region’s Fleets with the Sect’s fleet you had… visited before, we wouldn’t have had it this easy,” Shuna said with a soft, trembling voice. Heian Ciemnosc’s pale red lips smiled again, and his hips playfully moved up and down, not penetrating any further. He held her thin, muscular abdomen with his finger and slowly pulled her towards him. “Not bad, then. She does look like a good woman.”
“Are you… really going to talk about another woman right now?” Shuna’s eyes turned mesmerizing and almost rolled to the back of her head. But she still managed to say those words while her hands clumsily searched for his slightly defined abdomen and pecs, failing with his member’s intrusion taking a huge toll on her brains. Heian Ciemnosc lowered his stance slightly and placed his knees behind her ears as his pale countenance delighted her dilating pupils up close. His voice made her ears tremble and her insides endlessly quivery. “With how you’re trying to flatten me, it doesn’t seem like you mind.”
“...I do not,” Shuna said. Immediately after, with her strongly determined eyes gazing at Heian Ciemnosc’s face like a predator, her hands finally found his waist, and she hooked onto it like there was no tomorrow. Her pelvis became stuck with her crotch, and she started moving his lower torso and body back and forth to self-penetrate her hungry twat. After a few sets of 20s, with Heian Ciemnosc grinning at her expertise to self-penetrate herself after trying it for a couple years and with Arla letting her try it with her body whenever a threesome occurred, Shuna suddenly lunged forwards.
Heian Ciemnosc didn’t need her reminder as he started pistoning her sweet lower body while her tongue lapped flatly on his abs, and she began licking from below to up. She didn’t do it just once and repeated the action in other places of his abdomen, savoring every inch she could violate before going a little upper and biting, kissing, and suckling his chest. Before long, she was done tasting all his chest area and started with his shoulders, continuing with his neck, and ending in his mouth.
Once the latter finally happened, Heian Ciemnosc didn’t let go of her and started heavily, rapidly, powerfully pouncing his hips on her delicate, weaker bones while all Shuna could do was moan kittishly and orgasm time and again under his dominance. They kept submerging for hundreds and hundreds of meters as Heian Ciemnosc kept nearly breaking her waist time and again. The darker it got, the more Heian Ciemnosc made both their bodies and Souls connect with passion.
. . .
A few days later, in the Far East Region’s Small City. Where a small plaza was built for the purpose of hosting several million spectators in a floating arena.
The initial purpose of this arena, counting with teleportation points leading up or down and allowing even civilians to attend in their respective, reserved, and protected areas, was to show off before the conquered Regions. But not only those that the Blauw Empire beat before they decided to become the Blauw Empire’s territory, the Dragon’s Tail Region followed the Phoenix’s Cry Region when the latter decided to voluntarily integrate as the Empire’s vassal.
In the beginning, not only their Regions but the others in the sea Regions neighborhood thought they would become the Blauw Empire’s allies. Even the Blauw Empire itself, as a whole, believed that to be the case in the future. Ishikyy, who hadn’t come out of the Palace for a decade after she was born and only exited the Far East Region to war, also wanted to visit those Regions as soon as the wars ended.
However, now that Matriarch Zenevella had directly turned the remaining Regions into the Blauw Empire, Ishikyy could go there whenever she wanted! On the other hand, there was an initial increase in unfavorability from the Phoenix’s Cry Region’s people, whose pride knew no limits and wished not to become a vassal. Alas… it was already late, and the bells of nature had already sounded. They knew they were fighting an absurd battle for autonomy, but they didn’t have any other or better way to vent.
Nothing that a little bit of time and showcasing the benefits of being a Blauw Empire’s vassal couldn’t rapidly fix. Especially the warships and Fighters' blueprints and the opportunity to take loans in goods from their new boss. Although they were still discontent with their prudish Phoenix’s Cry Region falling as a vassal, they had to keep quiet to enjoy the benefits. As for rebelling on a later date, with Matriarch Zenevella’s Queenship, none of these people would’ve remained when she took the reigns after the 10 year war if they were as inflexible as they appeared.

However, the days quickly went by, and after venting nonstop in their debating halls, they became bored. The time for the Blauw Empire to make a move arrived, and they invited every Regions’ talented youngsters whose age didn’t exceed 30 to try themselves against the Blauw Empire’s royal princess. Their cultivation base had to at least be in the 3rd stage, the same as Ishikyy, or they would just waste everyone’s time.
The day came, and the arena atop the Far East Region’s Small City was ready to be used. After weeks of advertising, every Region came to know of a floating structure waiting for the event where the royal princess would be the main star, and the other Regions had to defeat her, inciting them to want to witness it. The event was for free, and even civilians could join in the bleachers, but the spots were rapidly taken.
Fortunately, every Region had been slightly changed over time, and every settlement had a device or screen that showed them the images they couldn’t personally see. Just the same, those who couldn’t attend were more than any 99% of the population in the sea Regions, but a Second Step organization and a 1* Region weren’t something that could hold something as stupidly large as the Change Merit Trials.
Nevertheless, everything started on a sunny day, just around 9 AM, with hundreds of millions in every Small City of the sea Regions. The settlements were another thing, as they each only observed if they had enough time. After the Blauw Empire’s new reforms, and after realizing their precious ruling organization was old-fashioned as fuck, they became more lively and resumed working hard on their daily lives.
… Meanwhile, in the arena, the Empire’s royal princess stepped on stage, wielding her trident in her left hand as her right was empty. She looked at the bleachers as they roared with enthusiasm. Most were curious to see her from so up close, not from a surveillance array formation or screen, and the real deal why an entire Region only almost caused heavy casualties to the Blauw Empire.
Her darkish transformation showed the sea Regions things they didn’t think of before, especially with the display of Lightning element suddenly taking over her power sources and granting her astounding battle prowess. She was even able to force missiles to detonate! Although they were darkish, and many thought that had been Heian Ciemnosc’s doing somehow, and were correct, the fact that the royal princess wielded it was enough to be recognized Kingdomwide and soon… worldwide.
“Woooohuuu! That’s the royal princess, alright! She has an Earth grade trident, but she isn’t wearing her Earth grade armor set. She is clearly giving everyone else a chance, hahaha!” - “Let’s go, royal princess! Beat everyone up! You can do it!” - “Eh! It’s about to start, shhh! The first opponents have arrived, my gosh…”
The crowd became quieter little by little. But in the middle of the stage, Ishikyy was calm and collected. She was peaceful as she looked at the place where a dozen fighters walked out of and stepped on stage. They were from the Far East Region and were the first to participate in this show-off where the Blauw Empire’s royalty, the royal princess, would show the sea Regions what they were made of.
For the other Regions, this was an opportunity to either gain something after losing to the same generational organization time and again, recuperating their face a little, or show their current progression to the Blauw Empire. But for the Empire, this was simply necessary for its vassals to know how mighty their future looked and how strong it continued to grow.
… Soon, the battle commenced, and the royal princess executed pure trident Arts, followed by her innate Art’s Water elemental techniques, forming small torrents with the diameter of an adult person’s height and sending each of the Far East Region’s fighters off the stage after a couple minutes. Their cultivation base ranged from the Neutral Encephalon realm 3rd stage to the 5th, and the latter only held for another 10 minutes before they were dispatched down the stage by her.
The event wasn’t an all versus one, and Ishikyy had to defeat them one by one. She could rest after defeating them all, for a brief period, but not in between each rival. Yet, the first opponents she faced, as strong as they could be, whose talent already allowed them to become Imperial Elders and only needed enough contribution or time spent working for the Empire to ascend into an Imperial Teacher, they were cleanly defeated by Ishikyy without holding back.
The fight was spectacular, and many Neutral Energy bouts danced around Ishikyy as she either avoided them or manipulated them with her Water elemental manipulation, creating long bodies of Water that kneaded their energy attacks to her will. It was no small matter, and she was also sending her own energy bouts, Water techniques, and Soul Arts to distract, injure, and win her battles.
Whenever she seemed to be locked and in danger, she would show her lithe body’s marvelous bodily strength and dominate the enemy, even those 2 stages above her, with just her Earth grade trident and her domineering, confident moves. Ishikyy wasn’t as fast as Elena, but her every move was like a brush painting the air surrounding her. They might be slow, but they connected to the enemy. Either on their bodies or weapons, leaving them no choice but to face her strikes head-on.
… After the Far East Region’s fighters were defeated, the Undermudmusk Region, Eyeseeking, and Lightglassed Regions followed. These were fighters from the Feathered Valley Pavilion, Clashing Dust Cult, and Door’s Expiring Breath Sect. They fought all-out, and Ishikyy similarly went all-out against them, but she had enough manipulation and knowledge over her body and power sources not to critically injure them or take a limb off their attachment.
They were the same, and while they worked their hardest to face the royal princess, they were bested in the end. After all, which could be better? The extremely talented cultivator with a teacher whose background is from the greatest Academy of all times and whose capabilities are sought even after the Universal Land they’re from? Or these Second Step organization’s fellas who have only spent a few years in rigorous training with better knowledge?
Thus, one after another group, from a different Region, Ishikyy made sure to let all the watching inhabitants of the sea Regions know why the Empire had won and would rule over their Regions as a generational organization. However, her elegance, prudence, and wisdom when battling, showing her might without much difference from an indifferent expression, and safely finished each battle with only blood drawn but no lives taken. This showed them how damn good the Blauw Empire is and will continue to do so.
Even when her clothes were cut through, and her cinnamon skin repealed her tummy, arms, back, and legs, she fought still with all her capabilities and defeated the fighter in question. Only after a rival was finished would Ishikyy repair her clothes and await the next, immediate fight. Like this, the northern Regions were defeated, and the southeastern Regions were next.
The Dragon’s Tail Region took the first turn, gaining knowledge from being beaten up by Ishikyy as they used polearms and long, great, or heavy swords to fight her. In the end, with the Blauw Empire’s aboriginal ‘Bloodline’ being recognized Regionwide, they were in awe of this Azure Dragon’s Bloodline as their most important members were from a draconic Beast Race. Thus, the Dragon’s Tail Region’s fighters fell under immense respect after facing Ishikyy.
Even with their injuries, bleeding, and feeling awful pain from their wounds, they returned to their spots and retold their elders about what they’d experienced. Only then did the Dragon’s Tail Region’s vip guests become intrigued to know more and couldn’t wait to hear more from the younger generation that fought Ishikyy. However, they had to pay attention and study Ishikyy’s moves for now. Something deep inside their inner beings told them they could gain something from watching an Azure Dragon’s Bloodline demonstrate simple fighting moves.
The Eclushisk Contrail Region was next, followed by the Wheel of Presence Region. The former was a bit heated, especially considering Ishikyy’s tendency to eat corpses, like her teacher, the black monster, stated in their Region. Thus, the Region’s fighters went a little bit overheated but ended up in the same state. Not an injury more, or a little bit let off. Ishikyy remained merciless but showed she held no grudges or past rancor.
Since a young girl could do that, how could the elders from the Region not berate their youngsters and make them bow to their royal princess? After the little drama show, the royal princess swiftly ended the ideas from the Wheel of Presence, whose surrender was, to say the least, somewhat out of an opera. Just as they were resisting, and their Small City became their last, impregnable bastion, some of their people opened the ‘doors’ to let the Blauw Empire’s ground forces in. That was a tragedy.
In under 3 hours, with the doors open and the Region’s hidden enemy from within aiding the ground forces, the Wheel of Presence Region had to call off the Fleets they sent to sneak attack the Blauw Empire’s fortified islands, not knowing the Indomitable Heartspree Region had already driven them away.
Nevertheless, there wasn’t as much all-out war in the Wheel of Presence Region as it did in the Eclushisk Contrail Region, but that’s just how life can be…
Finally, the Phoenix’s Cry Region’s fighters stepped up, and after being beaten up, since they clearly lacked cultivation resources after going through the 10 year war and their cycle’s civil war one after another, these fighters were their only promising younger generation. This could also be seen as why the far southerner Region didn’t want to aid the Blauw Empire militarily and only with resources for building their Empire’s navy and ground forces’ armored vehicles.
After losing, however, they proposed to Ishikyy, which she indifferently denied. It was a little bit of a commotion, as the previous losers didn’t realize they could have taken that chance to propose! What if she liked any of them but they didn’t know because they were too dull or thought she didn’t like girls?! They knew how others had suffered after realizing of their lost chances with beautiful gals and others who thought their best friend wasn’t a lesbian or bisexual! The pain!!
Then came the Indomitable Heartspree Region’s fighters…
…
