the old Eunuch proudly announced as he gestured to the rows of women standing in the grand hall. “Before that, I have a very important announcement to make. The woman who manages to become pregnant with the Crown Prince’s child will be immediately promoted to the Empress of the Flame Dragon Empire along with the Crown Prince ascension to the throne as the new Emperor. As per the traditions and customs of our Empire, the Crown Prince is only able to become the Emperor once his woman is pregnant with an heir to secure the royal bloodline. I sincerely hope that the future Empress of this Empire is one of you lovely ladies standing in this hall,” the Emperor announced in an authoritative booming

I was at a loss for words with what he just said. It was not because Julian had indeed probably sold me to him but the fact that he actually had the audacity to place a cheap value on me. As an immortal, no amount of human money or wealth could ever buy me. The shamelessness of this man was astonishingly annoying. He may be a man whose good looks could turn the heads of women and whose voice could make them obey whatever he said, but it was not even enough for me to be happy with.

“It exists a thousand years ahead of your time. Here, it is 2021. There, it is 3021. The geography mirrors Earth’s, but its population is smaller, tightly controlled. Resources are abundant. Our technology far surpasses anything here.” Mauve rolled her eyes. “And what does that have to do with me?” “I said, questions later.” His tone snapped like a whip. He continued, “It began with the First One—Arnold Dein. Descendant of Earth. No one knows why he was chosen, but when his gifts manifested, he opened the portal to Elite. From him, the monarchy began. Each ruler is a descendant of Earth, marked by abilities. There have been seventeen so far, Mauve. You are to be the eighteenth.”

What role would he play? James tried sensing Melinda’s rank. Since Melinda did not intentionally conceal her rank, James realized that she was merely a Quasi Emperor at the Ninth Tribulation. She had yet to cross into the Grand Emperor Rank. To his understanding, Melinda had crossed into the Ancestral God Rank in the Primeval Age. It appeared that he had arrived at a time period quite far from her reincarnation. At this point in time, Radomir had yet to become the Macrocosm Ancestral God, betray Mount Heavenly Path, and mass-produce Heaven’s Adjudicators to remove his political opponents. The Ancestral Gods of the Human Race had yet to rise up in arms. There should be some time left before t

After all, ordinary people’s words might not be reliable, but the word of the almighty immortal was like gold. It was completely possible for a powerful being like the Empyrean Emperor, who had ascended to the world of immortals, to have glimpsed the future and understood the ultimate truths of the world. “It’s still too early to tell.” Silas shook his head. “One needs immense strength and extraordinary abilities to unite the three realms. It’s not easy. However, Andrius indeed shows potential. We mustn’t take this lightly.” His words instantly received agreement from everyone.

Everyone else soon followed suit. “When did he do that? What the hell is he thinking? Did you know about this, Cassie?” asked Troy. Cassie looked on with everyone else as Aaron went out to meet the man that had pulled them over. Aaron was eerily quiet, too quiet on the drive to Venatores. It unsettled her. Imperium, the city of power, was so named because of more than just its officially doesn’t exist, army of myth. The House of Assassins also kept within its walls dangerous secrets. Resilient and crafty, in no small part due to his strict upbringing, Aaron consumed information like no one else Cassie knew. What long lost secrets did his one day in charge of such a place unveil?

"Why? Are you frightened? You are twelve years old and by the next full moon, you will have your Wolf. You are my son and Alpha blood runs through your veins, you should be scared of nothing and no one, do you understand?" Marco nodded and followed his father back to the car. He sat next to him on the passenger's seat, brooding over what he had heard his father say. Beta Leon was driving the car. He said nothing also. After a minute of silence, he finally asked the question that was eating away in his mind. "Father, what is immortality?" He asked innocently. His father turned to look at him and smiled wryly. "Immortality is the greatest power an Alpha king can possess. Don't you forget that.

I saw them off and turned to face the vague direction of the palace. The eyeball (I could not get its name) had told me; Blood Moon prophecy Layer 5: The Inheritor shall claim their rightful throne and shall bring the light of the goddess to her children. Now that I've wolfed out, I could clearly see why I had not wolfed out early. I was so naturally powerful that it was not even funny. And I have been racing against a speed freak - in my subconscious yes, but it was as real as it got - for months now. That is to say, I'm fast. Like, fuck you fast.

And there's this prophecy that my father's people, a group of hags and cranks called the Synod of Ancyra, think that the child I'm going to give birth to someday is going to be the only way to save our race and give them back the power we once held. Based on this prophecy, to be exact: From the shadows of the ancient Forests, under the moon's darkest veil, a daughter of Sköll shall emerge, her fur as black as night, her spirit intertwined with magic's might. She bears the power to tip the scales, to sow either harmony's bloom or chaos's gales. The Keystone's path, a labrynth of fate, where destinies entwine and the future waits.

“Some of you in the Empire know me as Ra’ventrii, subjugator of the Reborn. We’ve taken command of this devastator, now named Thanatos, the Ender of Worlds. “Together, we’ll ravage the Empire and bring it to its knees! Only once your precious Imperium is reduced to ash will we stop. And should anyone foolish enough to try to hinder us, know that we’ll crush them. Painfully. Thoroughly. “Like this.” Freya poured the energies of Ascendant Form through her body, which also caused Thanatos to pour excess energies through itself. She channeled them all through her starboard side beams and opened them up to the Imperial fleet in front of her.
