[ Kingdom of Onogoro ]
[Onogoro Throne Room]
The Kingdom of Onogoro’s throne room was an impressive sight to behold. It was a grandiose space with sleek, metal walls that glowed with a soft blue light. In the center of the room was a massive throne, crafted from gleaming silver and studded with sparkling gems.
Sitting atop the throne was King Izanagi, resplendent in his futuristic regalia. His robes were made of a shimmering, iridescent fabric that seemed to shift and change color with every movement. The intricate embroidery on the robes depicted scenes from ancient Onogoro mythology, rendered in exquisite detail by the finest artisans in the land.
The king himself was a commanding presence. He sat with perfect posture, his broad shoulders and chiseled jawline radiating strength and power. His long, black hair was pulled back in a sleek, modern style, and his piercing eyes seemed to take in everything around him with a keen intelligence.
“FATHER!! It’s obvious to everyone that I had been set up!” Prince Susanoo whined to King Izanagi,“ Are you really going to let this bitch wipe out the Yamamoto Group and force me to fork out the 500 million aeons? “
“Mind your manners, that's your elder sister and your future queen! Grow up and stop being so naive, when has the truth ever mattered? ”
“You run around with a bunch of hoodlums and you’re surprised that this is how you’ve ended up? You can’t even outsmart a three year old Astral … If Emperor Aion and Empress Shi Kong were still here I’d have died of embarrassment! “
King Izanagi’s deep and hoarse voice echoed within the throne room.
Prince Susanoo’s iris shot back and forth, as if to be concocting some devious plan, with a grin he muttered,
“If the Astralian Emperor and Empress are gone, why bother with them? In fact, we should take this chance to conquer them!”
A crackling sound of suppressed lighting exuded from King Izanagi, his disappointment and annoyance showed clearly on his well-chiseled face, he roared,
“SCRAM! How could such foolishness bear my name? Empress Dowager Tai Sui can flatten the entire Kingdom of Onogoro in a second if she were forced !!”
“Have the assets and aeons sent to me directly by the end of today or lose your princehood, we shall speak of this no further… You are dismissed!”
Seeing that his father was at the precipice of erupting, Prince Susanoo turned around and walked toward the exit of the throne room, both hands clenched so tightly that droplets of blood started trickling down. His eyes were filled with a veiled contempt, a red sparkle flickered in his irises…
Flanking King Izanagi on either side were his eldest daughter Omikami and youngest daughter Tsukuyomi.
Princess Omikami was a breath-taking beauty in her early twenties, her long silky red hair tumbling down her white diaphanous kimono, matching exactly with her crimson obi. Her voluptuous curves were an unavoidable magnet but her authoritative demeanor and regal aura shunned wandering eyes.

Princess Tsukuyomi on the other hand was still a little girl. She was a vision of loveliness, with her delicate features and vibrant light blue hair that cascaded down her back in a silky waterfall. She was dressed in a futuristic kimono, its shimmering fabric adorned with intricate designs that seemed to glow with a soft inner light.
Despite their obvious beauty, the princesses stood meekly beside one another, their heads bowed and their hands clasped in front of them in a show of respect and humility. The king, for his part, looked every inch the regal monarch, his gaze stern and unyielding as he watched disappointedly at his only son walking away with his tail in between his legs.
“Sigh… what have I done wrong with this boy?” Izanagi looked lovingly at his two daughters, the imperious king now a picture of a vulnerable troubled father.
“Big brother Susanoo is still young and he’s always around those conniving elders and meddling with the Yakuza, it’s no surprise that he’d be led astray…” Princess Omikami replied with a sigh.
“I know he’s been constantly at odds with you but devising such a ploy this time is pretty harsh, he’s been humiliated in front of the entire Tertius…”
“Father, it was Prince Chronos who approached me with a deal, I just took the opportunity to hopefully teach brother Susanoo a lesson.” Princess Omikami proceeded to brief her father with the details of the deal and what exactly transpired earlier today.
“HAHAHA, Aion and ShiKong have got an interesting kid! Pull up Prince’s MetaVerse Page for me.”

“He has 130 million followers with 0 posts??” Izanagi asked.
“Yes! Prince is the top duelist in Telluria Online! Undefeated since the start of the SRPG! Most importantly he wins with average gear and has more than 300 wins!” Princess Tsukuyomi cut in for the first time, her cute high pitch voice echoing in excitement.
Izanagi tapped on the armrest of his throne and pondered for a moment before muttering,
“ He was born a year after the launch of Telluria SRPG and has coincidently been actively playing it…”
“Father, what’s the situation with Telluria SRPG?”
“The realism of this SRPG surpasses anything Tertius has had by miles, the technology is unheard of and there is no news about its creators or the company running it…”
“And, though the high level of technology warrants its popularity, all 4 human kingdoms/empires and even the Dadirri seem to have been actively promoting it to their citizens…”
Princess Omikami questioned, her eyebrows furrowed in curiosity.
“All I can say is that your observations make sense…”
King Izanagi turned to Princess Tsukuyomi and smiled, “ Are you a big fan of this Prince?”
“W..what.. I…” The young Princess Tsukuyomi lowered her head, it had now become beet red.
“HAHAHA… Would you like to marry him one day?” King Izanagi teased, but his acknowledgment of the young prince was apparent to both his daughters.

[ Inside The Royal Chariot ]
As soon as the doors of the Royal Chariot closed, Sophia pounced on Chronos and planted a kiss on his cheeks. She proudly exclaimed,
“That was amazing! You managed to get rid of the Yamamotos and established a partnership with the Kingdom of Onogoro all in one fell swoop!”
“My dear brother, you have no idea how lonely I’ve felt all these years… Though I love big sister Athena to death, let’s face it, she’s quite a meathead,” Sophia chuckled as she pinched one of Chronos’s cheeks, “Now tell me baby brother… what have you got planned next?”
Chronos replied with a smile, “ Well… I’m certain Princess Omikami will keep her word, that means that I’ve suddenly come into some wealth, as I’ve said, I will set up Prince Media Group and Prince Philanthropy,”
“Prince Media Group will ensure that the Astralian Royal Family has a significant degree of influence in the media space and as for Prince Philanthropy, I plan to use it to not only help those in need but develop a loyal army of subordinates…”
“Orphans who have the affinity to become cultivators will be trained intensively as assassins and covert intelligence personnel while those who aren’t will be educated specifically for the purposes of helping out with the future businesses.”
Sophia pulled herself back into the luxurious seat beside Chronos, took a moment to think and replied,
“The media companies who fell victim to Yamamoto Group’s takeover filed a joint request to the Astral Merchants Association’s Head of Media, Nyx Erinyes, for aid and thus our intervention, if you’ve decided to pursue this route it’s best that you have a meeting with them…”
“I can set it up, a word of warning, these are a group of shrewd business veterans, there will be some push back!”
“As for the orphanages, I will have my assistant draft up a plan… I kind of understand what you’re planning to do but it's a huge project, maybe speak with Athena for trainers you can trust.”
Chronos let out a grateful smile and said, “That’s not all, I will need a team to manage the Yamamoto Group’s chain of brothels and pubs, that's an important part of setting up an intelligence network…”
Sophia’s eyes widened and chided,” Don’t you think you’re biting off way more than you can chew?”
“Lucky my genius big sister is the Head of the Astral Merchants’ Association…” Chronos retorted with a wink only to realize that Sophia’s white eyes were now glowing beneath her furrowed eyebrows.
Suddenly, a screeching sound pierced the air, and their vehicle violently jerked to the side as another car rammed into them from the opposite direction. The impact sent Chronos and Sophia careening into each other, their bodies slamming against the car's interior with bone-jarring force. As the royal chariot crashed into the roadway beneath them, they quickly realized that this was no ordinary accident - it was an enemy attack.
