Chapter 10 - The great war of hundred races

Hearing Shu's question Scarlett's eyes became sad and complex emotions emerged.

sigh...

After a long silence, Scarlett takes a long sign. Then started to answer.

"Before the universe, existed pure chaos after the chaos reached its peak, it started to break down and the energies started to separate from each other and become individual power's. After those energies reached an equilibrium that was how the universe formed. Do you know how the energies became uniform?" Scarlett asked Shu.

Shu shakes his head he didn't know. Scarlett expected that so she continued.

"The excessive energy transformed into living creatures, the chaotic side transformed into mythical beasts and the gentle side transformed into god and demons. The gods have the power of light and the positive end of the energies, the demons have the dark and negative side of the energies, the humans were born with equal light and dark energies. I was also born like that, I was born at the centre of three chaotic energies. The fire, ruin and space energies as such I have complete control of these three elements power." Scarlett said till now and stopped clearly wavering to continue.

Sigh...

After sighing again she decided to continue.

"Begin like us are called race primogen's, as we are the first of our kind and also the strongest. We were born in the half energy realm. At first, everything was fine we each took a portion of the universe as our territories and settle down, some god because of boredom decided to make their own fractions so does the demon's and other primogen's but dragon's because of their reclusive behaviour and prideful character didn't follow.... well not all follow I was one of them and one point to mention we were not the only primogen's. You can say we are the first batch of primogen's, the universe is so huge how can just one batch be enough to exhaust the excessive energy? there are other red dragon primogen's born after me although they are weaker than me and they don't have three elementals control. Most have fire, other few have fire and space but still not to my level. I have absolute control over all the three elements at the same level and no one have the power of ruin other me he, he..." Scarlett again began to brag about herself and started to grin.

"Cough .. cough ..."

Shu coughed a few times to remind her that she is going off the topic.

Realising she was getting carried away by her own powers. She cough and apologizes then continue.

"Cough ... sorry... as I was saying, as the strongest of all the red dragon primogen's they crowned me as the Empress and they took the title of kings or queens and manage my territory. Although I didn't want the title but it saved me the hassle of babysitting the newborn red dragon's so I accepted it. Like that few hundred thousand years past peacefully most of the time I spent sleeping." Scarlett paused reminiscing about the past.

"Till the great war of hundred races begin, after the race primogen's build there own factions their races started to compete for resources and territories. Not all the people born in their factions were immortal who don't need resources to survive. They needed food to survive and territory to live and resources to become stronger. The universe is big but not limitless, a few hundred generations after the resources of every race in their respective territory got almost used up. They didn't have a choice but go after others races territory to plunder their resources and territories, and for the first time in the universe, the law of might started to apply. The weak became prey for the strong to hunt and cease their possessions, and this war is what the mortal human's know's as the holy war between god's and devil's. As the two most powerful forces namely god's and devils because of there's nature of being repulsive to each other they fought the most aggressively the god's united many other races under their banner in disguise of alliance that is, in reality, is just making them there servent's. The other races also submitted fearing their factions power and the benefits they promised to give them later. The devils were also mutually hated by the masses because of there twisted cruel and lustful nature, so some races willingly joined the cause because they new that alone they were not the demon's match. After jointly attacking the demon race they were able to defeat the demon's. Till now everything was good the dragon's didn't participated in the war even though some dragon primogen's decided to build there factions but they preferred quality over quantity so the dragon race is very small we didn't need to fight for resources and we also have to advantage of growing stronger by just living the older dragon's become the stronger they got but this is a slow and gradual process."

"After the war ended order returned and every faction got divided into specific classes. But there's still a problem needed to be solved, after the war, the god's and demon's took huge losses and then power weakened significantly. On the other side we the Dragon's still have everything single primogen alive and small but a strong army, the gods clouded with the remaining demon's and made a plan to weaken the dragon race. Primogen of curses demon lord Stolas made a anti energy absorption curse, then the god and demon primogen's sneak attacked the first born dragon primogen's in there slumber and destroyed there physical body's." speaking till now a terrifying killing intent left Scarlett's body and red energy flooted around her.

Seeing her like this Shu gulped hard and backed away felling scared, he tried to calm her down by saying

"You don't have to talk anymore I understand. They sneak attacked you in your slumber and destroyed your body right, well nothing can be done now no point in being angry now calm down."

Hearing his scared voice Scarlett realised she lost control of her emotions but she can't help it everytime she thinks about this matter she gets filled with hatred. After taking deep breaths to calm down she sigh and said.

"You are right I lost control."

"So what's the use of this curse and why are can't you reform your body?"

Shu decided to ask about the curse and the real issue with the body.

"As the name suggests anti energy absorption curse prevents you from absorbing energy into the body and use it. That's why I can't make a physical body for my self by absorbing surrounding energy." Scarlett said the main problem.

"So how did you make my body?"

Shu asked if she can't absorb energy then how did she make the body for him?

"The curse is to prevent me from absorbing and using surrounding energy, not about the energy I already have. My soul body has enough energy to make baby dragon body for you without damaging my soul body."

Scarlett said very proudly of her capabilities. The curse prevents her from making a new body for herself and getting strong, it doesn't stop her from using her internal energy.

Shu rolled his eyes at her.

"I get it, so what happened to the previous two possessors?"
