The girls looked at Yasenia and laughed. Andrea asked teasingly. "Aren't you happy that we got so many treasures? Perhaps you are regretting it not becoming first? Those ten years of peace would've been nice to have."
Yasenia nodded. "The ten-year thing wasn't in the reward list, as only the material rewards were allowed. So, I do, in fact, regret it a bit. With those ten years of peace, we would've been able to stomp everyone once they were done completely. Though, I don't know to what point people respect it. The humans will be a good test for that."
Tatyana asked with a smirk. "Are you that confident that you could've taken the win?"
Yasenia nodded. "As long as they don't have Level 8 or 9 Intent users, Eila is basically invincible at the same level. From what I've seen, the otherworlders all had Level 5 or 6 intents. Not nearly enough to fight her. So, with Valeria and her, we could win two 1v1s and then win the two 2v2s. Gaining us 4 points."
Tatyana nodded. "Well, you are not wrong."
Yasenia looked at her and then down, focusing on the stomach area. "So, um. Tatyana, how is the little one doing?"
Tatyana placed a hand on her navel and laughed softly. "Don't worry. Now that you've managed to plant the seed, it is almost impossible that I have a miscarriage."
Angel poked at Tatyana's stomach with curious eyes. "You are still flat, Mommy Tatyana."
Tatyana smirked. "Well, it seems that it will take a while."
Tengliu, Coraline, and a few other leaders approached and spoke with Yasenia. Coraline spoke first. "Congratulations on reaching the top 64, little Yasenia."
Yasenia smiled. "Thank you, Aunty Coraline."
Tengliu grinned. "You've become really strong, little Yasenia."
Yasenia grinned back at her. "Maybe I will catch up soon."
The harpy lifted her white eyebrow and laughed, her charming purple-colored eyes bending with amusement. "Perhaps."
Other leaders similarly gave the congratulations, and Yasenia returned it formally while also congratulating them. After speaking and socializing for about an hour, Yasenia spoke. "I'm going first. It has been a pleasure, but some urgent matters need my attention. Things are starting to get muddy, and I want to focus on my work so that I can manage everything and not allow it to collapse."
The leaders were understanding, sending a few gazes toward the Continental Shadow group.
The dragoness looked at her group and said aloud. "We are leaving. Clean everything if you've placed down any furniture or food, and let's go."
The 400 people followed behind the dragoness five minutes later.
Satisfied with her sect members' thoroughness, Yasenia guided everyone outside and left through the entrance. Once outside, the city that was relatively deserted when she arrived looked crowded.
Her face changed a bit when she saw the demons accompanied by a few other beast humans waiting and looking her way. 'Tsk. I really don't want this trouble now. Hm… Well, revealing this won't hurt anybody. People already know I own it either way.'
So, not wanting to be stopped by anybody, she moved her group outside the city. After taking a few steps outside and using her senses to feel the surroundings, she located a few people who failed to hide their presence entirely. 'As expected, predictable.'
Evelyn asked. "What the plan?"
Yasenia snorted. "Avoid it." Then, her energy surged and went toward her ring.
Dyrathos and Kyril appeared, and Dyrathos smirked. "How about you wait for a while."
Yasenia gave with a side eye, and then, a massive flying boat appeared. The white and black colors decorated with golden accessories and edges gave the luxurious boat an imposing look. She turned toward her book and spoke, ignoring them. "Come abroad."
Dyrathos looked at the Flying boat with a stunned expression. However, he quickly recovered. "Even if you have a heaven-ranked flying boat, so what? Do you really think you can outrun us?"
Yasenia checked that everybody was on board, the spirits included and jumped in herself. She landed by the side of the boat, close enough to look down at Dyrathos and the others. "Outrun you?" The dragoness sneered. "You are overestimating yourself."
Yasenia turned it on, and the warship appeared to blink out of existence. disappearing from there in the blink of an eye.
Everyone's faces changed greatly as they looked around, Kyril and Dyrathos spreading their massive spiritual sense to catch a trail of it. However, the warship was gone.
The few powers that came to spectate were left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Meanwhile, on the ship, Yasenia looked at the landscape blur as it passed by, and waited around 10 more seconds. Kaleina approached and climbed Yasenia's leg and then torso, coiling around her with her serpentine body. The dragoness had to move her skirt a bit because Kaleina almost lifted it up enough to show her panties as she climbed.
Before starting to speak with Kaleina, she stopped the warship as they had arrived at the destination.
"Kaleina, baby, how was the trip?"
Kaleina gave Yasenia's face a big, loving lick and smiled. "Fun! I really liked seeing Mommy fight!"
Yasenia laughed. "Could you even see anything? We all probably appeared to be blurs to you."
Kaleina humped. "Although it is true, it was still fun!"
Yasenia looked to her left at the silent young girl who approached and used her tail to push her against her body while placing an arm over her shoulders. "What about you, Flame."
Flame smiled. "I also liked it." Then, she mumbled. "I was a bit sad when Aunty Cecile and Kali lost."
Yasenia laughed. "Well, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. Remember, dears. What makes a person strong is not how many times they win, but how many times they can rise from defeat and become stronger."
Kaleina blinked. "But Mommy, you never lost!"
Yasenia giggled. "Do you really think so? How many times do you think Mom has lost against Mama Tatyana?"
Kaleina said a random number. "One hundred!"
The dragoness smirked. "Probably more than ten thousand times."
Flame asked with surprise. "How many times have you won, Aunty Yasenia?"
Yasenia was honest. "Zero. I've never won against Tatyana, hahaha."
The dragoness looked at the horizon, where the ocean extended for what seemed forever. 'This view…' She laughed softly. 'It feels like when I try to look at Tatyana's depth. I see the surface and think of how vast it is, but then I realize that there isn't only a surface but an entire ocean below.'
After looking for a bit of time and letting the sea breeze blow her long and glossy black hair, Yasenia turned around with Flame and Kaleina. "We'll visit [Astral Sky Abyss Sect] for two days before returning so that I can deal with what I couldn't before the summit."
After informing them, the boat descended and sank into the ocean. It had no problems with water, air, land, or even space. It was, at the end of the day, a transcendent-ranked treasure. Only extreme environments would be able to stop it.
The white and black boat with golden accents touched the wavy surface of the ocean and continued downwards. Unlike what the people on the boat thought, they didn't need to hold their breath as a protective film surrounded the entire shit and prevented water from leaking inside.
After five seconds, the large boat was entirely submerged, leaving the people around looking on with various emotions ranging from awe to interest.
Unlike what she did in the air, Yasenia didn't rush this time and descended slowly. The ocean was one of the most dangerous environments, and Yasenia would not disrespect it.
Because the depths of the ocean were usually not explored, creatures that lived there were either ridiculously strong or ridiculously weak.
However, not many people were willing to gamble and answer those questions. At those depths, extreme environments were more common as well, with some deep-sea currents that could make even peak-level Epoch Core realm go missing.
As they sank deeper, Valeria appeared by Yasenia's side, looking eastwards with a deep expression. The girls followed her gaze and saw only a vast view of blue.
Right now, they were in the middle of nowhere, so up, down, right, left, front, and back were all surrounded by an enormous expanse of water.
Evelyn asked, not being able to hold back her curiosity. "Is there something wrong?"
Valeria pondered by tapping her chin and eventually commented. "I felt a few powerful life fluctuations. Do you want to go check, Yasenia?"
Yasenia gently raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at the three-meter-tall woman. "This is strange coming from you. Is there anything special about the fluctuations you are feeling?"
Valeria smiled slightly. "The life fluctuations of the bloodline are really powerful compared to anything I've seen during my stay in this world. One side of the creatures fighting, at least. The other just feels strong."
Yasenia gave Valeria a thoughtful look and pondered, looking in the direction Valeria pointed at. After a while, she chose. "Hm… Let's take a look. We are not in a rush, so us deviating for a few hours won't matter."
Evelyn looked at Yasenia doubtfully. "This is new. Are you meddling in the matters of others? You usually ignore everything."
Yasenia smirked and grabbed Evelyn's cheeks to play with them. "Silly dear, you must learn to take hints~. Why would Valeria, who is normally quiet, speak up right now? We weren't going in the same direction at all. If she hadn't spoken, we wouldn't have noticed or known about it."
Evelyn spoke with a muffled voice of realization from having her cheeks fondled. "I Shee!"
The dragoness found her dear cute, so she leaned forward and kissed her lips. "You are adorable, Dear."
Evelyn grinned. "And you have a very big heart!"
Yasenia rolled her eyes, amused, and spread her consciousness across the boat, steering it. "Let's check these fluctuations, shall we?"
The ship quickly turned as it delved deeper into the ocean toward the direction Valeria pointed at.
Meanwhile, Tatyana looked at Valeria and asked secretly. "Why did you tell her? It's probably just a territorial dispute, right?"
Valeria looked at her and then at her stomach. "Don't you want a loyal and reliable partner for that little one in your womb? I felt that the bloodline of this one is not bad."
Tatyana blinked and then laughed, her face gaining an honest smile. "Well, it is the truth that raising a friend from zero can help. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Valeria."
Valeria laughed gently. "Don't worry much."
Mirrory asked, intervening in their conversation. "Won't you save that one?"
Valeria shook her head. "I'll let nature continue its course. What we are doing is another thing. Probably Yasenia won't interfere as well."
Mirrory hummed in agreement.
