At this moment, a venomous voice also commented, " As expected. Everyone from Chu family is unreliable. "
" Shut up! " Chu Yuyan already angry, couldn't help but snarl at Chen Yuhua, who just looked away as if she had said nothing.
Chu Yuyan ignored her and turned to Zhao Muchen, " Your Majesty... "
But, his impassive voice returned, " Even with our blockade. Player Alex and his women managed to reach a city hundreds of miles away. "
Zhao Muchen inwardly burned with agony, but at this moment he had to be self conscious.
His hate for Alex now reached all time high! Yet, he already had a heart to retreat...
Empress continued understanding Emperor's caution, " That means, they have a way which we don't know about, to leave besieged city even while we're here... Your majesty I suggest once again, that we rethink our deployment here at Albigion. "
Everyone present gritted their teeth, they also understood that besieging the city was like playing clown alone.
Chen Yuhua once again spoke at this moment, " But what about our comrades who are already in enemy's grasp? "
Hearing so, ministers worriedly clamored while looking up at Zhao Muchen, hoping he would find the way to save their comrades.
Some of them were especially worried because amongst the women stolen, had their own family members!
But, Zhao Muchen himself was helpless.
When no answer appeared, Chu Yuyan finally couldn't take it.
" Your Majesty... Let me be blunt. What we're doing is useless. We have already lost too much. This isn't worth it. Let's leave this place and return to the World Dungeon. That place is filled with opportunities, once we're stronger we can return and destroy this Player! " Chu Yuyan spoke.
" Leave? Like a dog with a tail tucked between its legs? Never! You might be a coward, the eldest lady of Chu Family.... But, our Celestial Empire isn't and my husband surely isn't! His Majesty won't abandon anyone! Right Your Majesty?" Chen Yuhua timedly added without even using proper honorifics for Empress, humiliating Chu Yuyan, while turning to Zhao Muchen.
At the same time, several ministers chimed in agreeing with Chen Yuhua.
Chu Yuyan glared at Chen Yuhua, feeling that this woman was really dumb.
Forcing Zhao Muchen to speak at this moment will only bring his ire.
Why go this far over a simple grudge?!
Sure enough Zhao Muchen glared at Chen Yuhua, " Do you have a plan Imperial Noble consort? "
Chen Yuhua looked uncomfortable, noticing Zhao Muchen's unpleasant expression.
But, she persisted, " Even if we can't breach the barrier, we can destroy anyone who comes out of the barrier. Even if that Alex's women escape to the end of the Earth, we will make sure that they're brought to you, Your Majesty! He only has two initial Stage 5 women, We will never let them level up! Forget about him getting more women! We will force him to surrender! "
Chen Yuhua's plan was straightforward, and looked like the most plausible way to trouble Alex.
Hearing a proper plan finally, Zhao Muchen gave it a passing thought.
But...
" Your Majesty, we can't do this... Even if we separate our army into two parts... This will waste too much resources. It's simply not worth it. We need to return to the World Dungeon. Otherwise other powers in the World will leave us behind! " Chu Yuyan, the Empress promptly dismissed vehemently.
" What!? You want the sacrifice of Venerable Maoyin and others to be in vain?! Heck even your blood sister was kidnapped by that demon! They must be waiting there for his Majesty's rescue with clenched hearts. But you want to abandon them!? Heartless! Rogue! Shameless! "
" ... " Chu Yuyan kept silent, but her silence spoke miles.
But, to her surprise, more and more ministers started supporting Chen Yuhua.
This led to Chen Yuhua and Chu Yuyan's factions' non stop argument.
One believed they should lay the siege to Hiesta city and defeat anyone who comes out to level up, while other voted for complete abandonment of the invasion of Hiesta city.
At this moment even Zhao Muchen couldn't do anything, but watch the court dissolving into heated argument.
Even though these women loved him, they were all stronger than him.
Besides, he himself didn't have a solution and that left him in dilemma.
Should he use Emperor's authority and go against the court?
But, that might break the delicate balance he had created painstakingly...
If he spoke up carelessly, that could even affect his Emperor's prestige.
But, at this moment a singular voice spoke, " Stop! "
With a regal presence, a powerful pressure formed across the rambling court.
The Stage 4 and below females couldn't even mutter a word now, as they all were forced to fall on the ground.
Even Chu Yuyan, a Stage 5 peak human had to take few steps back, her shocked eyes looking at the most peerlessly beautiful woman besides Zhao Muchen.
The Empress Dowager, Bai Xinyi floated to the centre of the court gracefully.
Her beautiful Phoenix eyes glaring at both Chu Yuyan and Chen Yuhua, " Return to your places! "
Chen Yuhua, the Imperial Noble Consort was the first to obey, " I-I overstepped. "
She sat down, while trembling.
As a Stage 4 female she could barely stand beneath Bai Xinyi's Stage 5 peak pressure and she didn't want to offend this surprise star Empress Dowager before dealing with Chu Yuyan.
Everyone had known that Empress Dowager's faction also had a peerless expert at Stage 5.
But that particular female had always kept her face hidden only staying by Zhao Muchen, silently to protect him.
But, none knew that it was none other than Bai Xinyi, the Empress Dowager herself!
Empress Dowager looked at Chu Yuyan who was still standing straight, " Do you have something to say Empress? "
" Empress Dowager, I respect you immensely. But, I truly believe there is no worth in staying here while enemy's strength is unknow-"
" Sit! " Bai Xinyi ignored her words and glared.
Chu Yuyan frowned, by status she should obey Bai Xinyi.
But... she didn't want to!
Her aura flared ready to show that she was still the strongest amongst Zhao Muchen's women!
Two auras clashed in air, as sparks flew.
Bai Xinyi might be Empress Dowager, the Emperor's mother, but she was also Zhao Muchen's harem member, placing her on the same pedestal as everyone else.
Deciding so, Chu Yuyan doubled her efforts ready to crush Bai Xinyi!
But, next moment something shocking occured.
" You've brought this upon yourself, " Bai Xinyi sighed, before her eyes turned solemn.
Her 1.7 metre tall body suddenly bulged, her skin turned to the shade of bluish-grey.
A pair of small horns formed on her forehead, while two extra pairs of arms sprouted behind her.
Her height slowly increased, reaching almost 2.5 metres, while her muscles ripped out, turning her Royal robes to the shred.
Her bust and buttocks previously already impressive now bursted open from the confines of her inner robes!
Her monstrous transformation awed everyone, as previously most beautiful Bai Xinyi now became even more exotic, seductive and beautiful with wild aura tinged with her very being.
Previously if she was like gentle mother, now she was like a celestial war godess!
Previously if she was star shining brightly, now she was the full moon with unending might and heroic beauty!
But, that wasn't most important.
Everyone, especially Chu Yuyan could feel Bai Xinyi's extraordinary strength!
Stage 6!
Chu Yuyan's face contorted in shock.
Even Zhao Muchen was shocked to see this.
But, before he could raise any question, Bai Xinyi took a single step towards Empress' seat.
Next moment she directly appeared before, Chu Yuyan.
Chu Yuyan tried escaping, but Bai Xinyi's four arms held and raised her in air, while her two remaining arms choked her.
Chu Yuyan tried using her mana, only for it to be effortlessly crushed before Bai Xinyi's monstrous physical strength.
Her face started turning red, as she struggled to breath, while Bai Xinyi slowly crushed her neck.
" Stop... S-Stop... I concede.. " Chu Yuyan begged as blood trickled down her mouth.
Yet, Bai Xinyi didn't stop, her grasp further tightening.
But, then Zhao Muchen's regal voice echoed, " That's enough, Imperial mother! "
Bai Xinyi stopped at once, throwing Chu Yuyan at her throne.
She then returned to the centre of the court, before reverting back to her original appearance and donning a graceful robe back on her mature body.
" Please forgive my actions Your Majesty, " She bowed gracefully, without a hint of regret.
Zhao Muchen nodded and asked curiously, " Imperial Mother, what was extraordinary power? "
" Your Majesty, I previously told you about those dreams I was having... Do you remember? "
" Hmm. I do. "
" They were my past memories. It was only few days ago that I recovered more fragments. It seems, I belong to a foreign race of Immortal Realm, Asura... I fell in this world due to spatial distortion... "
" I also awakened, my bloodline. It lets me transform into my original Asura Form for some time, increasing my strength exponentially. "
Hearing so Zhao Muchen's mood soared.
He finally found a good news and as he now looked at his mother, his eyes were filled with appreciation.
Bai Xinyi couldn't help but blush, at Zhao Muchen's heated gaze.
To maintain her prestige she coughed slightly, before saying, " Your Majesty... Can I suggest a way to solve our current problem? "
Zhao Muchen was surprised.
His mother never took part in politics unless he needed any help, he quickly nodded.
" Your Majesty... In my memories, there used to be a city on an island covered by tall walls reaching heavens. No enemies invaded them, just by seeing those towering structures. Yet the city was finally breached with everyone inside slaughtered or enslaved. "
Zhao Muchen and everyone were intrigued.
Even Chu Yuyan who was closing her eyes to heal, opened one eye to look at Bai Xinyi.
The situation they were facing was similar to the story.
Yet the city was breached?
Bai Xinyi continued, " The invaders brought ships, cannons, siege weapons and countless artifacts. But, still they couldn't breach the city in 10 years. Finally an esteemed person suggested a plan... "
" They created a Dragon Statue, with most luxurious and rarest resources, it was as if the statue was carved out of a real dragon, looking impeccably perfect and endearing. "
" The strongest warriors amongst invaders hid inside the statue. Leaving it before the city gates while their army hid far away from the island. "
" When next day, the city dwellers found the statue yet couldn't see even a single enemy. They rejoiced thinking the enemy had accepted the defeat and even left behind the invaluable Dragon statue as insignia of loss. "
" Since they couldn't break the statue to bring it inside, they foolishly broke the walls that protected them for 10 years and celebrated the fake victory whole night. "
" When time finally came, the hidden army returned and the strongest warriors from the Dragon statue came out slaughtering every last drunk warrior in the city. "
Finally when the story ended everyone took a sharp breath.
They could feel that they had found a solution, yet it remained out of reach.
But, Chen Yuhua's eyes suddenly gleamed, as she asked, " Your story is certainly... Unique Esteemed Empress Dowager. But, how is it related to our situation? Are you saying we should breach the city from the inside? "
Bai Xinyi looked at Chen Yuhua with appreciation, " Exactly. Since we can't destroy the barrier. We will destroy the core of the city... And for that, Your Majesty I volunteer to enter the city. "
Chu Yuyan hearing this promptly dissuaded, " No! With your status, we can't send you in enemy's camp! It's way too dangerous! Also even if we decide to send you as a gift, will the Player dare accept a Stage 5 peak like you in his city? Simply impossible. "
Bai Xinyi shook her head, " I obviously thought of that. "
With a single snap, her aura which was flaring like tornado suddenly quieted down.
Decreasing rapidly it reached initial Stage 5... Then late Stage 4... Finally stopping at initial Stage 4.
Chen Yuhua seeing this thoughtfully added, " ... A concealing artifact? Hmm. This might really work. The chasm between Stage 5 and Stage 6 is vast. If caught off guard by Esteemed Empress Dowager, that Player's death is certain! "
" No way! Your Majesty, This is too dangerous! " Chu Yuyan looked at Zhao Muchen, who also seemed conflicted.
Zhao Muchen could understand his mother's thoughts, she was confident and wanted to help him.
But...
For him, she was the most important woman in this life.
Not only because of her strength, but also because while other women wanted to possess him, his mother only had unconditional love that wished to give him everything.
If compared... All those women he had lost couldn't compare to single Bai Xinyi.
But, at this moment another bad news arrived.
Noticing the absence of Stage 4 warriors, Alex's women had launched a sneak attack on Zhao Muchen's army.
Chu Yuyan and others went to help, but by the time they reached the battlefield.
The battle had already ended.
Hundred of eastern women were kidnapped.
Though most of them were just bottom dwellers, Stage 1 and 2. This was a direct slap to Zhao Muchen's face.
Hearing Chu Yuyan's report, Zhao Muchen's rage boiled.
His hate for Alex made him gnash his teeth.
With frustrated expression,he turned to Bai Xinyi, " Imperial Mother, this is dangerous... Are you sure about it? "
Bai Xinyi nodded solemnly, " I won't disappoint you, Your Majesty! "
" Your Majesty... " Chu Yuyan still wanted to speak, but Zhao Muchen raised his hand.
" That's enough Empress. I know your intentions are pure... But, I have made my mind. "
" Send the message to the Player. I want to discuss terms with him! "
With his order, the court moved.
* * * *
Meanwhile, Alex was currently in 3rd tier residency, in a prestigious room with a great view of everything beneath him.
He leisurely watched the show in front of him, while his caring beauties tended to his every need.
" Mom, do you want some? " Alex asked, while drinking a can of coke.
" N-No, " Aurora replied meekly, while making sure she remained steady to not let Alex who was seating on her back feel any discomfort.
Alex sighed, he slapped Aurora's bubbly ass, " You're too shy mom. "
Ignoring his human chair, Alex looked forward at the scene of punishment.
There included thousands of women lined beneath the residency separation wall, those eastern Royal Guards who dared to invade his city and also those women from 3rd tier residency who had dared to stage a rebellion.
" Argh! N-No... Ahhh...ahhh... "
" F-Forgive us... P-Please... Argh...ahh~ "
" Your M-Majesty... S-Save... N-No~~ "
" I-I can't take anymore... Ahh... I'm loosing it~ "
These all women with rebellious thoughts were being punished by Alex.
Their four limbs were each tied to mana enforced ropes, while they were suspended in air in "X" shape, completely naked.
Their body was forced to inhale various aphrodisiacs, while their admirable birth holes were home for multiple vibrators and similar objects.
But, that wasn't the end as right beneath their assholes there were thick rods with countless sharp extensions on them.
Every time any of these women lost their focus due to orgasms, their grip on those ropes would loosen and their body would descend down, letting those rods pierce their backholes.
Many women with weaker wills had already lost, their assholes completely pierced to the brim as they laid in air like broken dolls impaled on those thick rods, while blood trickled down.
But, seeing that the show had come to standstill, Alex decided to bring it up a notch.
He stood up and looked at the other side, where the residents of 3rd tier residency were watching the scenario here.
The brainwashing like influence, Teacher Drittney had on these innocent women had already disappeared.
In that time, they were forced by Alex to launch themselves at Royal Guards of Celestial Empire like rabid dogs.
All just for Alex's enjoyment...
But, that had cost these women dearly.
The artifact that made them unkillable, didn't come without repercussions... It demanded lifespan for every rebirth.
And...
Now, most of these women barely had more than few years to live.
Well, they didn't know that. So it was okay.
Alex addressed them now, " Residents of Hiesta city. These foreign invaders and vile rebels wanted to destroy the peaceful city we created. But, ultimately they fell short, leading to their current humiliating situation. "
" This is not only punishment for them, but also a reminder for anyone who dares harbour any evil thoughts. Their repercussions will only be graver. "
As soon as Alex spoke, all these non brainwashed women quickly noticed him..
His image was also being aired all over the city, so it was easy to see him.
Also, he was known to everyone and was dazzlingly admirable aesthetically.
Many women from third tier residency already had good impression of Alex, just by his appearance.
And as he spoke...
" Wow! He's so cute! "
" Is that really him!? "
" I only saw his pictures! "
" He doesn't look like a villain at all! "
" I think someone is Manipulating him! "
" It must be those annoying women from Departments! "
" I wanna hug him! Aww... "
The chorus drowned Alex's motivation to give further speech, as he became annoyed.
With a wave he pulled the loudest women on the stage.
This was a middle aged thick auntie, wearing a two piece bikini which barely covered her nipples and pussy.
Alex had noticed that most of these non-brainwashed women had also started following the norm of wearing minimal clothes as he wanted, even though he hadn't forced anyone but his own women.
Slap!
But, for now he slapped this auntie loudly.
" I'm speaking bitch. Shut your hole. Okay? " Alex glared.
" O-Oh.. O-Oh... Okay... " The auntie was stunned, while she was thrown back to her place.
Alex coughed, " Now, let's play a Game. Everyone from third tier residency gets 100 stones. You have to throw them at these evildoers. If the stone hits the abdomen, you get 100 points. If it hits arms or legs you get 80 points. But, if you hit faces, breasts or pussies. You will loose 50 points each! "
" The one with highest points by the end will get 1 million credit points! The runner up will get 500 thousand! Third will get 300 thousand and next ten, will get 100 thousand each. The Game will continue for an hour. Good luck! "
The women down there were stunned.
1 million credit points!?
They had never seen that much money in their whole life.
Even before apocalypse, the equivalent amount would make one going for their whole life, not to mention this was apocalypse where everything was expensive but for those with money life could be most luxurious ever.
A wave of excitement spread!
Each of these females received 100 stones and started throwing them at these prisoners of war.
" N-No... Stop... It hurts... "
" Argh! I'll kill you western demons! "
" Damn... N-Not my face... Y-You will loose points...sob... "
" Sob... Sob... I'm sorry... "
" Your Majesty... P-Please save us... "
The groans and moans of pain spread evenly across the bottom of the wall.
The stones provided weren't normal, with each hit they would produce vile agony on the body.
Alex smiled in satisfaction, and just then Venerable Maoyin approached him.
" Master, the dog Emperor Zhao wants to talk to you, " Venerable Maoyin informed.
" Haha. Dog? Didn't you love him to death some time ago you bald bitch? " Alex laughed.
"Master, forgive me. I was stupid... In front of Master, he is nothing more than dog. Even that's an insult to a dog. I only love Master Alex, " Venerable Maoyin replied with most serious attitude, as if reciting a Mantra.
" Haha. Even though you're bald donkey. You're quite smart. Now, Come here, " Alex said as he embraced Venerable Maoyin's lithe waist and returned to his 'seat'.
His step mother trembled slightly, before retaining a stable posture.
" Connect with that dog Emperor, " Alex ordered.
Venerable Maoyin wordlessly nodded and started an artifact remotely.
Within few moments, an image appeared on the projected screen.
" Alex Mastiford... " The solemn voice of Zhao Muchen appeared from other side.
Alex was surprised to see that he couldn't see his enemy's eyes.
Most likely a countermeasure to stop Alex from initiating the Game.
In return Alex smiled leisurely and pulled Venerable Maoyin closer, " Greetings friend Zhao. Hope you liked my homeland Albigion. "
