Lady Uriel stands in the throne room, fanning herself while directing two death knights. They push a massive stone slab with a white sheet covering it as Uriel points to the left. "No, no. Further that way." Two more death knights stand behind her holding Bosques of flowers.

The death knights grunt a bit and push the slab further to the left. Kai teleports to her, taking her waist measurements then teleports over to KiKi. KiKi sews a long white wedding dress on a mannequin as she looks at the measurement tape. Riyōshi, Aamon, Lilith, and Shiemi walk into to the room. Aamon looks at her with a hand behind his back.

"What are you doing, Lady Uriel?"

Uriel smiles elegantly, closing her fan and clasping her hands together with hearts in her eyes.

"It's preparations for my wedding with the Lord when he's ready to propose!"

Uriel waves at the death knights and they remove the cover. The stone slab is engraved in a extremely detailed image of her and I holding hands and looking into each other's eyes.

Lilith mockingly laughs at Uriel with her hands on her hips. "Propose? To you? You wouldn't even know how to satisfy a mortal, let alone a supreme being of power."

Uriel hmphs at her, beginning to fan herself again. "There's no reason to be jealous, Lilith. My body is akin to a temple. Yours is more like ancient ruins. You don't need to be insecure about the reality of the situation."

Lilith fumes, black and purple aura surrounding her. "What did you just say to me, you old stuck up bitch?"

Uriel growls and butts foreheads with her, white flames engulfing her entire being. "You're lucky the Lord sees you might be worth something, or I'd destroy you where you stand you prehistoric prostitute. Pfft. Filthy demons. No offense, Aamon."

Aamon shrugs and pets the mini skeletal dragon sitting on Shiemi's head. "None taken, Lady Uriel. We demon Lords can be quiet the nasty bunch."

Lilith and Uriel's collective power begins to shake the whole palace. Aamon and Ryōshi both turn and start to walk away. Ryōshi chuckles as they walk.

"You're in charge of these two, Shiemi. Make sure they don't destroy too much of the place."

Shiemi grips her staff and yells back. "W-Why do I have to watch them?"

"Because you're another Lady. And I am not foolish enough to get anywhere near those two when they are like this."

I stand on the steps of the capital of Belhaven, my hands behind my back as I watch a mass of Elites in formation. As they listen to a speech from one of the generals, others break up into groups and begin patrolling the city streets. Another group gathered all the empire's flags and memorabilia into a pile before lighting it on fire. Various undead begin removing the bodies of the city guard from the streets, as well as putting out fires started in the short period of our arrival.

Two massive banners are unrolled from the top of the capital building behind me by Elites on the roof. Off to the side, I see Lilith standing before a line of the city's guard leaders and two representatives in wrist and neck shackles. She smiles seductively at them and tugs on the chains.

"Ara Ara, you're a cute bunch! We're going to have so much fun! It gets so boring tormenting the same group all the time. We'll see how big and strong you really are..."

She bends over and kisses one on the forehead . She cracks her spiked whip on the ground before pulling the chain and leading them away.

Aamon walks up next to me and bows. "Hopefully, the termss reached with the mortalss are fully to your liking, Massster."

I take a deep breath and nod. "Indeed they are. But I have much bigger plans for Yggdrasil. Tell the Lords to head back to the city. I will return shortly after, then you and I have much to discuss of the future."

"Of courssse, your majesty."

Aamon walks away as I scratch my chin. It is guaranteed that this incident will not go unnoticed by the empire. But I have just the thing in mind.

After I return to the village above the city, I walk back into Brock's bar. The Elites with me stand outside the tavern door, and I make my way to the bar. Brock notices me and raises an eyebrow.

"Huh. Welcome back, stranger. That's some fancy armor you got. What happened?"

I lean on the bar and begin to tell him the story, but obviously ommiting details of the city as well as some other things. He laughs as he shines one of his glasses.

"Sounds interesting. I guess I don't believe a word of it. But story time isn't cheap around here ya know."

I throw enough money on the bar for him to get himself a drink.

"It's true though!"

He pours himself a laugh and chuckles. "I knew there was something wrong with those weirdos. Especially if they worship someone like you."

He laughs again and lifts the pint to take a drink, but I smack it out of his hand with an unamused expression.

"Hey! You're gonna pay for that or clean it up!"

I laugh as I walk away and wave back to him. "Put it on my tab."

I walk back out towards the church, the Elites immediately following behind. I walk back through all the way to the the throne room, where the death knights open the door. I walk in and Lady Uriel quickly runs up to me, her hands together and blushing cheeks.

"Welcome back, Lord! Would you like dinner? Perhaps a bath? Or... Something else?"

She looks at me bashfully, her fingers on her lips as she blushes.

I smile back at her and nod. "I was going to ask a small favor from you Uriel. If you have the time."

She immediately nods and smiles. "Of course! Anything you wish, Master!"

I snap my fingers, causing Kai and Kiki to appear before us.

"Yes, my Lord?" They ask in unison.

"Please fetch Lord Aamon and Tanya for me at once. And let everyone else know I will return again shortly."

They both bow. "As you wish, Master."

They teleport away and I motion for Uriel to follow me. "Come. I have a very important task for you, my fair Lady."

Her eyes light up with excitment as she bows. "Of course."

Aamon and Tanya come to us in the thrown room, Aamon with his hands behind his back.

"We are here as requested, Lord."

"Good. Uriel, open a portal to the main road of Belhaven."

She nods and waves her hand, opening a spiraling portal. We all walk through it, ending up on the main road to the city. I scratch my chin before looking at Aamon. He seems to understand what I was thinking and nods in agreement.

I look at Tanya. "Get me the desired outcome."

Tanya stretchs one leg back, a foot on her shoulder. "Absolutely, my Lord. One moment please."

Tanya does a full back flip to a tree, and cleanly slices a piece of bark off with her claws. She begins scratching numbers into the bark, glancing up at the sun and looking out into the environment. After a few moments, she draws walks up to a specific spot on the path and scratches a big X into the dirt.

I look at Uriel and nod. "Lady Uriel, do you mind if I touch you?"

She her cheeks light up again and she plays with her bangs a bit. "O-Of course you may, Master."

I put my hands on her hips, adjusting her to stand directly in the middle of the X. She lets a bit of gasp when I touch her hips. She quickly regains composure and coughs timidly.

"W-What are you doing if I may ask, my Lord."

"Uriel, I need you to stand right here. Can you please adorn your armor?"

She nods, materializing her armor and sword instantly.

"Excellent. All I ask is for you to stand here. Do not let any Baharuth Empire forces into the city. But do not Strike them down first."

Uriel nods again, a determined look in her eyes. "I see. I will not disappoint you, my Lord."

"I know you won't. Now, open another portal for us back to Kolsch. Aamon and I have some matters to discuss in private."

She opens a portal back for us. We three walk through it back to the city.

Uriel stands unmoving, her sword burning with fire as it is stuck in the ground in front of her. She rests her hands on the end of it and stares out into the wilderness of her. After a few hours pass, a large group of the Empire's warriors approach down the path towards the city.

A man in fine clothes leads the group up to Uriel before motioning for them to halt. He speaks out in a nailsly voice with a condescending tone.

"You there, woman. Step aside. I am a commander for the mighty Baharuth Empire."

Uriel stands motionless with a piercing gaze. She speaks with power in her voice, echoes of voices sound with her words.

"Watch how you adress me, mortal. This land now belongs to the Lord of destruction. Move along while you still have your lives."

The man looks taken a back for a moment before getting an aggressive tone.

"Do not threaten me, woman! Such insolence towards a commander of our forces is punishable by death!"

Uriel expands her wings and flaps them once, causing a massive gust of wind. It makes all of the warriors cling to the ground as the small hurricane blows apart everything around them.

"Do not insult me, mortal. I have existed eons before your kind crawled out from your cradle and began your civilizations."

The commander furiously starts to speak, but a warrior next to him pulls his arm and covers his mouth. He bows at Uriel and gives a friendly smile.

"Apologies for the rudeness, fair Lady. There must have been some kind of mistake on our part. We've been sent to investigate Belhaven's recent silence."

Uriel tilts her head up a bit and gives a slight nod. "Your apology is accepted, human. However, I will inform you the city is no longer under the rule of your people."

The warrior thinks for a second before giving another friendly smile. "I see. Is it perhaps possible for one of our Envoys to discuss this discrepancy with your master?"

"Perhaps. I shall do you a favor and ask him if he will speak to your representatives. But for the time being, you must leave this territory immediately."

The warrior is about to respond before the commander jerks away from him aggressively.

"We will do no such thing! This is the territory of the Empire. You can not just deny us entry into our city or our land."

Uriel raises her hand and points and the commander. Five giant gold seals appear in layers in the sky. The sky tears open as a pure beam of light rushes to the center of the seals as if charging up. The warrior next to him immediately pushes the commander of his horse and the others hold him down, covering his mouth again.

"We will just be on our way, fair Lady. Please be as so kind as to tell your master that we request an audience."

Uriel stops pointing, causing the seals to dissappear and the sky to reform.

"Move along now, mortals."

They all turn around, carrying the commander while leading the horse with them.

Sometime later, I sit on a throne overlooking a massive colosseum filled with citizens of Kolsch in the stands. All the other Lords stand around me, watching a fight between one Elite and a dozen warriors. His arms turn into blades before he demolishes all of the opposition.

Aamon speaks with pride in his voice. "Every year during the tournament to be crownd champion of the city, the Elitess alwayss win."

I nod and rest my cheek on my fist. "I can see why. Their chosen fighter has slain every other contestant effortlessly."

The Elite bows to us after the last warrior has fallen to the ground. The arena is covered in bodies of warriors, demon, monsters, and feral beasts of all kinds.

"I think I have seen enough."

I stand and turn around to walk away when a woman's voice yells out from the arena.

"People of Kolsch! We have come to prove we are the true champions of the city!"

I turn back around and look into the arena. a woman in light armor stands in front of four other people. Three other fighter class individuals and one mage it looks like. She points at me and laughs.

"Surely this man is not the true God of destruction as everyone seems to think! I argue he is nothing more than a fraud!"

The crowd goes completely silent. The next to her whispers to her.

"This is a really bad idea, Valerie. Shut up and stop being an idiot, you're going to get us killed."

"Silence, Arthur. I know what I'm doing." She looks back at me and laughs again. "I bet the five of us can defeat him without breaking a sweat."

The other Lords look shocked for a moment before Aamon and Uriel erupt into flames.

"YOU DARE DISRESPECT THE LORD, YOU INSOLENT MORTALS?"

I put my hands on their shoulders and approach the edge of the balcony.

"A challenge? I maybe the God of destruction and war. But I am no monster. I will grant you one hour to reconsider your proposal. Or to make peace with your loved ones."

I turn back around to walk away again when she calls out. "See? Nothing but a coward, pretending to be a Lord!"

I smile from the corner of my mouth. "So be it."

I unbutton my cape before jumping over the balcony into the arena. The impact of my landing shakes the coloseum and makes the mortals stagger. I throw my cape back and Kiki teleports to catch it and fold it up.

Shiemi picks up a microphone and laughs playfully, speaking out to the crowd.

"Don't go anywhere, Ladies and Gentlemen. The main event is about to start!" She motions towards me with excitement and continues.

"On this side, we have an ancient horror with a kill count in the trillions, destruction of multiple realms and a certified god killer! A force so powerful and badass, The highest council in the heavens and the most vile of demon Lords cry for peace! It's the Lord of destruction!"

Goddamn what a way to hype someone up. I look at the mortals, who are shaking as their leader begins sweating a little. Shiemi motions towards them and chuckles at bit.

"And on this side, we have five mortals exercising very poor decision making skills and most likely will die very painfully! Good luck, guys."

Shiemi's little pet dragon jokingly holds a round one card in his mouth as she puts down the microphone. I decide to mess with them a bit and take a deep breath. I exhale a mountain of fire into the air, circling faces of the damned crying out from the flames. One of five collapses in the back. The one their leader called Arthur turns towards her.

"Well, that was terrifying. I've got to say Val, you're the dumbest guild leader I've ever had. So this is why you came to the guild this morning? To trick us into coming here so you can insult a being that destroys realms for fun?"

"Not always for fun. Sometimes it's a necessity." I say with my arms crossed.

"Ah! Of course." He bows and speaks in a frustrated tone. "My deepest apologies for my former guild leader's massive incompetencey, my Lord. I was under the impression that we came to watch the champion battles. I plead for you to consider mercy and spare us."

I scratch my chin as I reply to him. "The issue is, you have insulted my in front of my people and the other Lords. Most, if not all of you have to die now."

He slow claps and turns towards Valerie. "You hear that Val? We can't even leave now because of your big mouth."

I give a slow nod. "I will be charitable and offer you a choice. You can surrender, and I'll take your heads in one quick motion and mount them on my throne. Or you can become prisoners of the city for the insult."

Lilith gets a crazy look with hearts in her eyes. She nods adamantly, her hands on her cheeks. "Yes, Yes! That one, My lord!"

Valerie grunts, sweat still dripping from her forehead. "Hoshi, see how much power he actually has."

The mage nervously looks at me, trying to scan my power. "I'm not getting much. He seems to be completely normal. I don't get it."

"Oh, let me help you with that."

I remove on the rings on my fingers. The mage immediately burst into flames and falls back onto the ground. He cast a spell to put out the fire and he coughs harshly.

"M-My god... I've never felt anything close to that power before. We shouldn't even be in the same vicinity as him."

Valerie grinds her teeth a bit, before looking back at her guild mates. she sighs and gets on her knees, bowing her head. "I surrender, Lord. As a humble last request, I humbley ask you spare my friends. They had no intention of insulting you."

I pause for a long time. Eventually I nod. "I accept your surrender. Your friends may live. But you will face punishment as a prisoner of the city."

Lilith eagerly jumps down and throws out her whip, wrapping it around Valerie's neck.

"My, my. Aren't you a pretty little thing. Don't worry honey, I have alot of exciting ideas for us to have fun with! Now come along now. The anticipation is killing me!"

Lilith sends a bolt of purple electricity through the whip into her. She screams out in pain until it subsides. Lilith tugs on the whip, escorting her towards the exit of the arena.

Later that night, I walk into my chambers. Kai and Kiki undue the straps on my armor and untie my boots.

"It's okay, I will undress myself."

They both bow and immediately vanish. I take off all my armor and clothing before relaxing in the bathhouse for awhile. After I finish washing, I dry off with a towel and put on some fluffy comfy black robes. I walk over to my bed and lay back, the torches extinguishing the light as soon as my head hit the pillow. But as I begin drifting off to sleep, I hear the door open for a moment. I look over to see Uriel with her hands over her chest.

She touches her dress with her index finger, causing it to dissappear and leaving her in her pink bra and panties. She looks at me visibly embarrassed and flustered before climbing up on top of me.

"M-My lord? A-Are you awake?"

"I am. What are you doing, Uriel?"

She plays with her hair for a second before rubbing her hands up to my chest to my cheeks. "It's my duty t-to make sure you're satisfied. In everyway..."

She exhales gently as she moves her lips into mine. A extremely pleasant fragrance hits my nose and my lips tingle as they touch hers. She guides my hands to her back and down slowly.

She pulls back slightly, giving me a seductive eyes and expression. "I-I have never d-done something like this before... p-pease be gentle."

I put one hand on her cheek with the other on her butt.

"I don't want you to feel like you have to do anything you don't want to."

My concern for her feelings seems to have struck a cord in her. Her breaths become quicker and shorter. She pushes her lips into mine again as she unclips her bra from the back. I run my hands up her back and slide her forward, kissing up her stomach. She whimpers a bit and runs her fingers through my hair.

She pulls open my robe and adjusts herself, sliding her panties off from her leg. I playfully growl a bit and roll over on top of her. She wraps her legs around my waist and licks my lips. As soon as enter, she moans out loudly, scratching my back.

I thrust harder and harder into her, I reach up to pull back her head by her hair. I kiss and nibble her neck as we both go into the motions. Uriel, with bright red cheeks and dimly lit eyes, rolls back on top of me. She rocks back and forth hard, her body incredibly hot in the moment.

She finally lets out one finale yell, her wings fully expanded and her fingers curled on her lips. She falls forward onto my chest while breathing heavily. She looks up at me, her eyes tired and hair a mess.

"T-Thank you, Lord."

I smiles sweetly to her, embracing her in my arms. She snuggles into my chest and falls asleep almost immediately. I move the hair from her eyes before closing my eyes, drifting off into sleep as well.

(end of sexual content)

That morning, I walk the halls towards the throne room. I see Shiemi from behind on her toes in front of two Elites. She hums as she moves her hand quickly and lets out a small laugh.

"What are you up to, Shiemi?"

She jumps a bit, clearly startled. She turns to me and holds her staff tightly. "N-Nothing, my lord! I was uh... just heading into the gardens!"

She runs off to the gardens in a hurry. I walk by and stop, looking over at the two Elites standing motionlessly. Shiemi drew a bunch of random stuff on one of their faces. The other one had blush on his cheeks and freshly painted nails.

I roll my eyes and chuckle a bit, walking past them to the throne room. As I entered, Aamon as a crow with glowing red eyes lands on my shoulder.

"I have ssome interessting newss for you, Lord."

"Oh? Has something transpired with the Empire?"

He nods. "Indeed. Sseems the mortalss have requessted an audience with you over the territory dispute."

"Excellent. This is very good news. Have you instructed the others on how I want this done?"

"Of coursse. Just as we discussed."

I walk over to the throne and have a seat. Aamon hops off my shoulder, reforming to his normal form.

"Now, I'd like to see all the Lords immediately. It is time for a discussion."

He bows. "Right away, my Lord." All the Lords line up, and get down to one knee. I look at them and speak in a confident tone.

"I have a question for you all. How well do you think we handled the situation at Belhaven with the mortals?"

Lord Aamon speaks up first. "Extremly well executed, my Lord. And didn't even usse a fraction of our true power."

I nod and look at Uriel. "And you, Lady Uriel?"

She smiles calmly, a slight glow around her. "It was a truly magnificent display, my Lord. There is nothing we could have done better."

I nod and look at Tanya. "What about you, Lady Everness?"

Tanya looks at me with a spark in her eye. "It is truly genius. Aamon and I both completely see the strategy. And I must bow to your intellectual superiority, my divine Master."

I lay my index finger across my chin. "I am glad to hear. That means alot coming from the smartest woman alive."

Tanya gasp a tiny bit, clenching her hand in her chest tightly. "Please. I am not worthy to serve as a foot rug for you, Lord."

"Nonsense. You continue to exceed my expectations daily. Keep it up."

She nods and bows her head. "Of course, my Lord."

I look to Lilith and motion for her to speak. "It was fantastic, Lord. It's a shame I only got a few play things from those petty mortals."

I laugh a bit. "There will be plenty more, Lilith. Just try not to kill them too quickly."

"I wouldn't think about it, Lord."

Shiemi looks a little anxious as I motion for her to speak. She quietly clears her throat.

"I-I think it was amazing, my Lord. I just..."

I raise an eyebrow at her. "You may speak freely."

She looks up at me with a sad expression. "Did we have to harm so many of the humans? I mean no disrespect, Lord. It's just, they were overwhelmed from the start..."

I think for a long minute. I rest my hand back on the throne arm and nod. "I agree."

The other Lords look a bit surprised at my statement, but I continue.

"As Lords and Ladies of such power and brilliance, it is my duty to make sure you're lead in a correct manner. You all deserve the best. And I will make sure I am the best for you all. You have my word."

Uriel gets a crazy look in her eyes, her cheeks bright red and her breathing heavy. She jumps up and tackles me off the throne. She expands her wings and a bright arua surrounds her.

"Oh, Lord, I try to hold back my feelings! But after hearing your words, I can't hold back any longer!"

Several Elites appear and attempt to grab her but her aura blows them back. I try to push her back but she is incredibly strong.

"What the hell? Calm down, Uriel!"

After a long and hard struggle, I finally get Uriel off of me. I sit back down on the throne with my face covered in lipstick and my chest plate partially unstrapped. She calms herself down and looks up at me.

"A-Apologies, my Lord."

I wipe the lipstick from my face and tighten my armor back up.

"Enough of that. The mortals will soon arrive. And everything must go according to plan. Everyone, get ready!"

The empire sends a convoy of dozens of warriors, escorting the old magician Flunder Paradyne to the city. As they head towards the faming village, the officer inside the wagon with flunder looks at him perplexed.

"Sir, I must say that this is an extremely unusual situation."

Flunder nods in agreement. "It is indeed. I have been to Kolsch before. Is nothing more than a tiny farming village."

"Do you think perhaps those people at the town church had something to do with Belhaven's occupation?"

"Almost assuredly. I've always had a bad feeling about them during my pass throughs of the city."

Thr officer nods in agreement. The carriage driver calls out to them in the back to look ahead. Flunder and the officer look out the windows. They stare in awe at the massive vortex of dark clouds and lightning circling the top of the church.

"My god..." Flunder says with bated breath.

They approach the outside of the church and pull over the convoy.

"Well? Do we head inside the church?" The officer asks nervously.

Suddenly, the ground shakes violently. The ground sinks down into a huge ramp going underground. Kai and Kiki teleport to the people in front to point down the ramp. The envy descends deep under, light whisps illuminating the way. As they arrive at the bottom of the ramp into a large cavern, Kai and Kiki appear to them again.

"Welcome. The Lord asks for..."

"You to wait in the gardens before the meeting. Come."

They lead Flunder and his guard over to a wall. Kiki claps and the walls split open, revealing a massive well lit garden. One large orb hovers over the garden, bathing the whole area in sunlight. A large statue of Uriel sits in the center with expansive columns of flowers lay out in all directions.

They all look out awe as dozens of maids and butlers water flowers so exotic exotic, they most likely humans have never seen them before. Kai leads them through to the center in front of the statue.

"You all must be incredibly thirsty from your tavels. Please, as guests of the lord, relaxe and enjoy some refreshments."

She snaps her fingers, causing half a dozen maids to rapidly teleport in and out. They set up a table filled with exquisite foods and drinks in seconds. They all look shocked for a moment before sitting.

"T-Thank you. Send your Lord our thanks for such hospitality."

Kai nods and dissappears. Flunder and a few of the guards take a drink of fresh lemonade. The officer beside Flunder sits back.

"Whoa. That's the best tasting drink I think I've ever had in my life."

Flunder nods nervously. "Indeed. Best not to touch the food. Something isn't right..."

Kai and Kiki appear before them again. "Come. The Lord is ready for you."

They lead them to the back of the garden to a large set of stone stairs. They climbe them all the way to the top, ending up in the hall before the throne room. The death knights open the door to let them all pass through.

As they enter, two death knights put the gauntlets on my arms. I grab both by their necks as I rise, and crush them, causing the knights to explode into black clouds. My eyes glow red as I look at Flunder and his envoy. The other Lords all go to one knee and bow their heads. The chambers are filled with rows of Elites and death knights all the way back to the door.

"Welcome, representatives of the Baharuth Empire. I understand you have matters you wish to discuss with me?"

Flunder and his guards bow graciously. A bead of sweat runs down his forehead. He clears his throat and speaks calmly.

"It is an honor, Lord. Yes we would like to discuss the uh... the misunderstanding with Belhaven."

"Ah of course. Please, go on." I say before sitting back into the throne, it burning blood red flames.

Flunder stutters a bit, but quickly regains his composure.

"Well, the city went completely silent on us. And we believe it was because of a conflict your people had with the city.."

I nod. "Indeed. They insulted my people and myself by attack our peaceful caravans. A mistake that is most egregious as I'm sure you can agree."

"Y-Yes of course! Had we know the full extent of the insult, Ashford would have been swiftly corrected."

"I'm glad we are in agreeance of the situation. It was no malicious slight against your people or your empire. Ashford needed to be pay for the insult to my people."

Flunder nods, his face pale as a sheet. "I agree. The empire sends its sincerest apologies for the trouble he and the city may have caused you."

"Apology accepted. As for the city, I'm afraid I must continue the occupation for a time. I have to assure a similar issue doesn't arise from the city in the foreseeable future."

"I see. I will let the emperor know of this discussion. I'm positive he will understand the situation better thanks to our cooperation here today."

"Hopefully so. You are more than welcome back to my city if there is anything further you'd like to discuss."

Flunder and his guards bow again. "Of course. We shall depart back to Arwintar at once with news of our agreement. Thank you for your time, Lord."
