The time was passing for the girls traveling in Rhiannon, they were still on their way to the book's location, who was flying this time was Anna, since one day had passed and was on Arnoux's shift to fly the aircraft.
In a distant land, in the city of Changan, in a huge palace that had a huge staircase, inside that castle was the empress of the Tang empire, Wu Tang, who at the age of 25 had expanded the territory of that nation to more scattered borders, covering much of what is now the territory of China and the Korean peninsula. Known for also being a tyrant and spreading terror where she passed, the Empress Wu, was regarded as some as the bloody empress because of the way she conquered other kingdoms and treated anyone who tries to oppose her.
October 15, 625, Wu was in a dark room with a bench that had Lilith's book in the middle, the Tang was watching the book's radar and noticing that 11 points together were going towards her, which made the girl smile maliciously and at the same time be a little bit happy.
- (Ah so they are coming, or is it that lilac-haired woman again wanting to catch? Whatever it is I've been waiting for 12 years for these 11 books, I knew that one day they would show up and if they took a little longer I would go after each one of the books on my own. If it's the lilac-haired woman, she'll be a delusion if she thinks that having the knowledge of the 11 books will be in advantage over me... After all, with this book I can access the contents of all the other 11 books and on top of that there are some scrolls around here with even more knowledge).
- Sovereign, we fear... Ahhhh!
Says the servant until he is impaled by Wu's spell that turns to him and walks slowly towards the servant.
- You should not enter here without first knocking on the door.
Says Wu as the servant groaned in pain with his shoulders pierced.
- Sovereign... Have mercy... I was just notifying you that there are some messenger witches from the Xiao Empire waiting for you and they seem to be a bit angry.
Says the servant.
- Ah the Xiao empire, how good to know.
Says Wu.
Wu releases the spell and in this the servant is relieved placing his hands on his shoulders and kneeling in front of Tang thanking her for sparing him, until the empress uses the spell again, only this time she ends up drilling the servant's entire body with the purple energy and with this she throws the bloody body into the hall and goes to one of the guards in the room.
- Take that body away.
Says Wu.
- Yes, my greatness!
Says the terrified guard going to take the servant's body.
- (Shit... That asshole has dirty my clothes with a little blood... Another purple robe that I end up staining with the blood of these useless ones, I hope very much that these witches will want war or be dissatisfied, I want to have reason to stain this robe of mine red).
Wu then goes to the throne room where they had three witch messengers from the Xiao empire, they were wearing armor and carrying weapons too, and a small group of soldiers around them for protection. Tang sits on the throne and signals the messengers to talk to her.
- Wu Tang, we came from the Xiao empire to say that we will not accept to give the scrolls to you, not with the conditions you imposed.
Says the first messenger.
- You're trying to cause a war with Emperor Xiao. With these conditions? "Give me the scrolls or your capital will burn in flames, if you hand them over I will only attach them and let you live. Our emperor does not agree with these conditions.
Says the second messenger.
- Our emperor Xiao has told you the following. "Who does this crazy empress think she is? I will not stoop to the point of being just the territory of a usurper's empire! She killed Emperor Sun Jung and wants to destroy a peace of over 200 years! But no way! If she comes to attack with her army, know that it will be a war! My whole empire is ready to face this shitty empress".
Says the third messenger.
A silence takes over the whole throne room, the Empress' servants were terrified to hear what the three messengers had said, even the royal guard was frozen with fear, which made the three messengers think they were being feared, that the message was really well given, but Wu was with the same expression would be, until Tang starts to smile and gets up starting to laugh madly, which gave the messengers and their soldiers an air of confusion.
- What is so funny Wu Tang, laughing about it is a total disrespect to Emperor Xiao.
Says the first messenger.
- If you keep this up we'll take your head to the empire...
Says the second messenger until she is decapitated by Wu's spell.
In this the two messengers go into shock to see that the second messenger had been killed so easily, in which the soldiers go to Wu, with the intention of protecting the two witches. The Tang is still in the same place, and as soon as the soldiers come close, however much they are wearing armor, shield and swords, they end up being hit by Wu's spell that impaled at once 30 soldiers who fell dead to the ground at the same time gushing blood all over the throne room, leaving only the two messenger witches.
- You have made the biggest mistake of your life by trying to confront me, if you can call it life, now I have to deliver a message to Emperor Xiao.
Says Wu with a malicious smile.
- Please! Wu Tang! Have mercy! Let us live! We were just following orders!
The two messengers say kneeling to Wu.
Wu takes one of the swords of the dead soldiers and walks towards the two messengers who were already crying in fear and despair, while Tang was loving it. The empress pulls the first messenger by the hair lifting the witch's head and beheads her on the spot causing the third one to begin to collapse in tears, and the empress was with a malicious smile after having torn the first witch's head off, going towards the beheaded second witch and even the servants of the kingdom.
- Put these heads in a bag.
Says Wu.
- Yes, yes, sovereign!
Says the terrified servant bending over and taking both heads.
Wu walked slowly towards the third witch who was the only one alive, but this time she let go of the sword, the messenger even tried to escape, but Tang used the purple energy spell that made the girl stay tied on her legs and arms. The empress reaches the girl and holds her by the hair.
- You will tell me where the Xiao empire is, or you will join the heads of your friends.
Says Wu grabbing by the messenger's hair.
- Please... Don't kill me, I'll leave you...
Says the messenger until she is decapitated.
- I know where the capital of the Xiao Empire is, I'm just cutting off a traitor's head, you see? That's what I do with anyone who comes against our empire.
Says Wu.
Wu throws them head at the servant who ends up disgusted and unwittingly drops what infuriates the Tang who casts the purple energy spell on the servant impaling him and killing him instantly. After killing the servant, the empress takes the decapitated head of the servant and puts it in a bag together with the other heads.
- Stay here for a while, if I hear of any error on the throne while I am in the Xiao Empire, you will all be thrown out to be killed in the public square.
Says Wu with a malicious smile.
Wu takes her broom and stands while holding the bag with the heads of the messengers towards the Xiao empire. While in the palace the servants were tidying up the mess and taking the dead bodies from the throne room, it was the counsellor who would remain as regent.
The Xiao empire was not far away, since Wu also knew how to fly on the broom standing at very high speeds, in less than an hour Tang was already in the capital of the empire, where it lands facing the palace and soon is approached by the guards.
- Wait a minute, lady! Where do you think you are going?
Says the guard.
- Will you really raise your voice to your sovereign? Do you want to die by chance?
Says Wu.
- Who do you think you are to confront Emperor Xiao at this point? Speak again and we will take you to the throne room for ignoring the greatness of our emperor.
Says the guard until Wu Tang climbs on the broom to stay at the same height and faces him with a deeper look.
- Wu Tang.
Says Wu with a scary look at the guard.
- Wu Tang? Are you telling me that a woman of this size is that empress of the empire to the...
Says the guard until Wu pierces his throat with a purple energy spell.
- This Wu Tang and you get the body out of this useless one if you don't want me to do the same, get out of the way.
Says Wu passing by the palace gate.
The guard who was at the entrance picks up the body of his dead companion still scared by all that and throws it into a fire that was near the entrance of the palace, while Wu walked through the corridors and some people were confused as to who that woman was and why she walked with a bloody bag through the corridors of the palace, going towards the throne room.
Until Wu arrives at the throne room where the emperor was just sitting while talking to the royal guard, but encounters Tang appearing with a bloody bag.
- What is this? Who let this woman in here? Guards! Get her out of here!
Says Xiao giving orders.
- If I were you I wouldn't do that.
Says Wu taking the heads off the bags and playing in the throne room.
Xiao orders the guards to stop and he is amazed to see the heads of his three messengers on the ground and decapitated.
- What's the matter Xiao? I said it was much better to comply with my decision, it seems that your messengers could not talk enough, is not it messenger?
Says Wu taking the head of one of them and laughing at everyone.
- So you are Wu Tang? Courageous to kill my men and even my messengers and still have the audacity to come to my palace, this way I won't even have to invade Changan to conquer your empire.
Says Xiao laughing.
- I wouldn't laugh if I were you, this shitty empire of yours is going to collapse soon, so hand over the scrolls or I'll have to take it on my own?
Says Wu.
- Execute Wu Tang immediately. Whoever kills her will get a reward.
Says Xiao pointing to Wu.
The royal guard takes out the swords and goes towards Wu who even gave a malicious smile, until the moment the first one arrives in Tang just uses a spell of purple energy and kills the guard on the spot impaling his head, in which she starts a process of cleaning stopped in the same place and letting the purple energies kill everyone who was in the throne room except the emperor, this included even Xiao's wife who was next to him.
- No! My wife!
Says Xiao watching his wife die.
Wu continues with the constant deaths in the throne room sweeping anyone who dared to get close to her or just who was in the throne room, even some witches even appeared and tried to cast some spell on the Tang who just let herself be hit with nothing happening because it's too powerful, until after wiping the whole throne room she casts a spell on Emperor Xiao who even covers his eyes thinking he's going to die, but when he note he's just tied.
- You didn't kill me? Does that mean I will be useful?
Says Xiao.
- No, that means I didn't kill you now, because I'm going to kill you in a little while, I just need to do one thing.
Says Wu using a spell in Xiao that makes him keep his mouth shut.
Wu also uses a spell in which she makes a flame emanate in Xiao, which only the witch could see with her eyes closed, so she discovers a place where they had three more flames emanating and goes there with the broom, warning the emperor that she would return as soon as possible.
Wu goes to the rooms of the princes and princesses and from there picks up the three children using magic and break kills all the servants who were around which makes the three children start to scream and cry. Until she returns to the throne room and uses a spell so that Xiao can speak again and the emperor begins to cry and fall into tears begging for the children's lives.
- No! No! Please! Kill me, but don't kill my children!
Says Xiao as the children tied up struggled.
- Ah! Hahaha! I love it when you get to that point, what a shame Xiao. I would have saved them, but you wanted to ask.
Says Wu.
Wu takes Xiao's youngest son who was 2 years old and takes the child by the head, using a spell that made Tang's hand stronger to the point of bursting the little one's skull and gushing blood everywhere while the children were terrified to see their brother being killed like that and the emperor collapsed in tears.
- No! Zhao! My son... You are cruel Wu Tang! You are the most evil thing that has ever appeared in this world! I hope that one day you will pay for your crimes!
Says Xiao.
- I don't give a shit and walking towards it, I want more is to see people suffer and the name of Wu Tang will be remembered for generations as the cruelest empress in history!
Says Wu laughing.
Wu takes the two missing brothers and impales them together in a hug using her purple energy spell which makes Xiao scream and cry some more. After killing the children, Tang goes to the emperor and with her own hands sinks the eyes of Xiao who cries in pain.
- This will be the last thing you'll see in your life, your children dying; now I'll finish executing you and I'll do it the best way I ever imagined... Burning you along with all your capital! Hahaha!
Says Wu with an evil laugh as Xiao's eyes bled.
Wu takes Xiao's body that was still screaming from pain because of his eyes and takes him to the central square of the city where people are looking around confused, even more because the emperor is there blind and tied, Tang raises her hand signaling to all people and with this a spell begins to emanate from the tip of her hand that was fire, which makes all the people around are impressed with all that fire.
- You Beijing residents will suffer because the emperor was not obedient. So burn! And if you survive, know that the only authority you will have to obey from now on is Wu Tang!
Says Wu.
Wu takes her broom and starts levitating until she lowers her hand and all that fire in the sky falls over the city, starting a real fire over the whole city, where the residents who were outside began to be charred and were the ones who died at the time, the houses made of wood caught fire even easier. Wu who was in the skies continued to cast more and more magic to burn the city, until after 30 minutes constantly using fire spell the Tang gets sick and leaves there towards Changan, since he had finished with what he wanted.
- (Beijing is on fire, those useless have to learn to respect the true empress of the world or they will pay with their lives. Now I will return home, soon the last eleven books of Lilith will arrive and so I will go to Tibet where I will be able to gather all the books of Lilith and so arrive in this goddess and end her life. Taking the place of the superior goddess of magic! I will not only be Wu Tang the Empress! I will be Wu the Sovereign and goddess of the whole universe! I will be worshipped! I will be immortal! For all eternity everyone will be below me! Everyone will do my will or my name is not Wu Tang).
Wu after a few minutes soon arrives back at Changan where he goes to the palace door and soon the guards bow to her and even open the door for Tang to enter the corridors, in which a servant goes to the empress along with four other servants who were carrying a bed with a pillow, where Wu sits and is taken to the throne room which was spotless and shining so clean, the servants take her to the throne and then Tang sits there and soon calls all the counselors.
- Councilors of the kingdom! Come here now!
Says Wu.
The counsellors go to the throne room and in this Wu passes her finger through the throne and notices some dust on her fingertips, which makes Tang look furious at the counsellors who were terrified to face the empress who was with a look that would kill one of them.
- My empress, how was the visit to the Xiao empire?
Says one of the counselors who ends up being impaled by Wu's spell.
- Our empire! That part is now part of the Tang Empire! I will be gentle today; I will not kill you, but guards! Take the counsellors to the hungry mice' grave now!
Says Wu.
- No! Empress Wu! Don't take us to the ra...
Says another counselor who ends up being impaled with only two left.
- If you don't want it then I won't take it. But you two go immediately to the rat hole.
Says Wu.
The soldiers take the other two advisors to the dungeon of the castle where Wu follows them, and then the two are thrown into the rat pit which was a cage 2 and a half meters deep full of rats that remained days without food and usually what they ate was human flesh that was always served at one time or another when Wu executed someone in the palace, seeing the two advisors being thrown that they even crushed and killed some of the rats, but soon the others appeared and went with everything to feed themselves.
- That my children, feed on these imbeciles, as promised I did not kill them, but the rats will kill them by eating you alive.
Says Wu as she listened to the pain cries of the counselors.
- Forgive my sovereign question, but why did you do this to them?
Says the soldier until Wu throws him too.
- Weak, a manly soldier shouldn't behave like that, Empress Wu lacked respect, but I will answer your question, these advisors know too much and they didn't clean my room from the right throne, I hope everything is understood, now turn into rat food.
Says Wu closing the door to the rat hole.
Wu leaves there and goes to the room where Lilith's book is to observe the location of Lilith's books and is surprised to see that little by little they were getting close, releasing another evil laugh and celebrating that he was close to accomplish what he so much hoped was in finally having all the books in possession and thus get to the witch Lilith. Although in a way still very with bad intentions. The ten witches will have a huge challenge when dealing with this manic and cruel empress.
