Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 The Princess of Earth and the Descent

Deep within the misty mountains of Jawa Dwipa lay the Kingdom of Amartapura, a land blessed with a million species of flora and fauna. Here, humans and beasts lived together in flawless harmony, creating a paradise on Earth.

Within this prosperous realm lived a princess born of true royal blood named Siti Komara Larasati. She was a kind-hearted soul; though not conventionally beautiful, she possessed a deeply captivating charm. Word reached Princess Siti Komara that Yui Fujita, the immortal Dragon Goddess, was descending to visit Amartapura. Eager to show her hospitality, the princess personally prepared to welcome her.

The Dragon Goddess was a breathtaking sight—a flawless figure of unparalleled perfection, boasting fair skin, striking curves, and a mesmerizing presence. She traveled across realms to recruit worthy disciples for the Dragon Academy of the Eternal Dragon Sect. This prestigious academy was located in the Orion World, a realm nestled within the Orion Nebula constellation, precisely $105,000$ light-years away from Earth, the Solar System, and the Milky Way Galaxy of the Laniakea Supercluster.

Act II: Space Pirates and the Awakening of the System

Far out in the vast, infinite cosmos, a massive starship sailed through the sea of stars. It was a vessel belonging to ruthless interstellar buccaneers.

"Hahaha! At last, I am free from that cursed prison!" roared the booming voice of Captain Draken, echoing through the deck.

"Captain Draken!" a crew member called out. "We have detected a blue planet near the Virgo constellation."

"How far is it from our current position?" Draken demanded.

"Approximately one hundred thousand light-years."

Meanwhile, aboard her own cosmic vessel, Yui Fujita opened a sleek virtual interface floating before her eyes. Suddenly, a mechanical chime echoed in her mind:

[The Death Voyage System has been activated.]

[The Host can now enter the Realm of Death for exactly one second.]

"Incredible! I actually gained a System," Yui Fujita whispered to herself, her eyes sparkling with ambition. "With this, I can finally follow my mother into the afterlife. This System will lead me to her!"

Filled with burning excitement, she paused her quest. "But before that, I must travel to Earth to meet my dear friend, Siti Komara."

Act III: The Reunion and the Journey to Orion

Closing her virtual interface, Yui Fujita steered her majestic space pirate ship toward Earth. There, she reunited with Princess Siti Komara Larasati at the royal palace in the land of Jawa.

That evening, the full moon hung high and bright, bathing the palace grounds in a gorgeous, silvery glow. While gazing at the moon, Siti Komara met Prince Raden Amardipura from the neighboring Kingdom of Martapura. Martapura was a highly advanced and vast empire renowned for its magnificent oceanic vistas. Situated on an island just beyond the Eternal Ocean, Martapura's growing strength held immense geopolitical influence over the main island of Jawa. Jawa itself was fractured among several powerful realms, including the kingdoms of Sundapura, Galunggung, Southern Bumi Kalinga, Janggala, Amarta, Panjalu, and Galuh.

Staring into the horizon, the prince sighed. "I want to leave this land and sail into the unknown to find true adventure."

Right at that moment, Yui Fujita arrived, descending in her breathtaking interstellar starship. Mesmerized by the colossal vessel, Siti Komara eagerly questioned Yui about the nature of her cosmic travels. Yui spoke passionately about the Eternal Dragon Sect and the academy in the Orion World, over a hundred thousand light-years away. Driven by intense curiosity and a thirst for the unknown, Siti Komara made a life-changing choice: she decided to join Yui on her journey into the cosmos.

Together, they set sail into the starry void. After enduring a long, exhausting voyage and overcoming countless interstellar perils, they finally arrived at the gates of the Dragon Academy. The two girls registered, passed the rigorous trials, and were officially admitted as disciples.

Years passed, and through sheer talent and unwavering determination, Siti Komara and Yui became the most formidable disciples in the academy. During their time there, they also became close companions with the high Dragon Goddess, who was later revealed to be the long-lost biological mother of Diah Lermana Permatasari. Having proven their worth, Siti Komara and Yui Fujita were inducted into the inner circle of the Eternal Dragon Sect, becoming the galaxy's strongest guardians against cosmic evil. They frequently returned to Amartapura, sharing their advanced cosmic knowledge and guiding their homeland into an era of unprecedented wealth and prosperity.

However, a sudden catastrophe soon threatened the cosmic balance. Interstellar pirates launched a surprise assault on Planet Nibiru, the holy ground where the Eternal Dragon Sect stood. This sect served as the absolute pillar for the Orion Planet and the vast heavens above it.

The invading armada was commanded by Wira Pratama, one of the Nine Sky-Sustaining Generals serving the supreme intergalactic Emperor, Maharaja Adiputera Sanjaya. The sheer scale of the forces under Adiputera Sanjaya's command was terrifying. The pirate ships breached the atmosphere of the Orion Planet, targeting the Space Continent—one of the nine legendary Ancestral Continents.

"Captain Wira, we are entering the planet's atmosphere!" a crewman shouted.

"Drop the anchors and brace the solar sails! We land in seconds!" Wira Pratama commanded.

Wira Pratama was an overwhelmingly powerful figure. As his colossal dreadnought touched down upon the Space Continent near the East Sea, he addressed his massive crew. "Thank you for your loyalty, everyone. We have arrived on Planet Orion. We will conquer this world, and then we shall rule over it as its absolute protectors!"

"Ready your weapons!" Wira roared.

"Aye, Captain!" shouted the space pirates in unison.

Act V: The Defense of the Holy Sect

The colossal pirate ship docked heavily upon the Ancestral Continent, right outside the majestic Palace of the Eternal Dragon. This holy sanctuary was the home and training ground where Yui Fujita, Diah Lermana Permatasari, Wira Sanjaya, Diah Roro Rani Wijaya, and Maesyaroh lived and cultivated their powers.

Wira Pratama's brutal assault aimed to seize the divine primordial energy harbored by the Eternal Dragon Sect. The sheer, devastating might of the pirate fleet sent shockwaves of fear through the inhabitants of Planet Nibiru. Yet, the defenders refused to yield. Backed by the ancient, potent magic of the sect, they fortified their barriers and prepared for a bloody war.

The disciples of the Eternal Dragon Sect were proud descendants of Maharaja Adiputera Sanjaya's original lineage, biologically destined to protect this planet. With their ancestral pride on the line, they vowed to defend Planet Nibiru to their very last breath.

The clash was instantaneous and brutal. Both sides traded devastating blows, wagering their lives for the ultimate power of the planet. Wira Pratama's ferocious tactics initially pushed the defenders to their absolute limits, sending waves of panic through the realm. However, by combining their martial arts with the sect's supreme magical arrays, the defenders successfully repelled the invaders.

No one expected that Planet Nibiru, which had looked so peaceful and gentle for millennia, harbored such a terrifying, dormant power. The Eternal Dragon Sect completely broke the space pirate armada, forcing Wira Pratama and his surviving crew to flee the planet with their ambitions utterly shattered.

Peace returned to Planet Nibiru, and the Eternal Dragon Sect resumed its sacred duty as the guardian of the Orion sky. This war served as a grim reminder to the cosmos that even the most peaceful worlds must never be underestimated.

Meanwhile, amid the cosmic chaos, Arya Kemuning and Dewi Shinta were seen navigating through the stars, traveling directly toward the Eternal Dragon Sect to seek holy asylum.
