Chapter 30 - Entertaining Unrealistic Expectations

"What… Ruler of Wind, what are you doing!?"

The Saint watched in horror as its deity kneeled to the floating girl.

Hearing its summoner interrupt his moment of reunion, Skyerial brought down his wing upon the small human, smashing his head like a tomato.

"I apologize, Queen."

Pysla remained silent as she pondered.

"How are you here?"

Skyerial seemed to waiting for the question as he quickly responded, still keeping his head lowered down to the floor.

"I was able to sense your natural energy fluctuations many hundreds of years ago. I implanted myself among humans as portrayed god within their memories. I knew one of them would eventually find you. I lent them parts of my power that allowed their 'Sky Society' to prosper in hopes you would trace my familiar energy."

Pysla looked around the created realm. With Skyerials cries, even though he is weak, it was enough to cause cracked to appear around the realm.

"It seems your intrusion as caused the realm to collapse. No matter, I couldn't have noticed you as I was only released recently from her constraints."

The silver Eagle widened his eyes. The spirits of the realm of gods would be delight to find their Queen finally returning to them!

"You are free!? We should quickly head to the Realm of Gods, my Queen. There are many who await you."

Pyslas eyes darkened. As much as she tried to not think about it, the spirit race is in dire straits every second she's not present. This only reminded her of her original goal.

"I am currently not able to return."

She looked at him as her eyes flashed brightly, scanning his entire being.

"And it seems you aren't either. It would be best for you to reside in my host. As you are weakened, you are but a wisp of your former image."

As Skyerial was listening, his body suddenly froze.

'Host Soul!?'

"The Goddess of Blood fused your soul!?!?!?"

Pysla thought back to that girl, Xi Meiying.

Though the Goddess of Blood may have much influence over her life, she was most definitely the factor who decided to fuse her with Xi Heji. Though, she was happy. As once she ascends and regains her power, the Goddess of Blood shouldn't be more than a baby in her eyes.

"More or less"

She reached out her hand, a bright white light shining from it.

"Come"

The Skyerial disappeared as he appeared next to her. Pysla rested her hand on his giant body as the both of them became a mirage, leaving the falling realm.

With the absence of its controller, the realm completely collapsed. Everything within became obliterated, the real world now meshing with it as if nothing ever happened.

Pysla appeared along with Skyerial inside Xi Heji's soul point.

She looked over to him.

"In order to reside here, I'm going to make you my hosts contracted beast."

Skyerial nodded. Although a god level being becoming the mere contracted beast of a mortal human was unheard of, not him, nor no spirit in the Realm of the Gods would ever doubt Pyslas words.

"I trust your wisdom."

Skyerial closed his eyes as he awaited his contract.

"Where is that b*tch?"

The four remaining saints along with the Sky Emperor searched the domain of the Xi Clan, using their sense to scan for the familiar qi fluctuations.

They had been only searching for a few minutes, but to them, that was embarrassing. A Grand Qi Stage cultivator taking this long to find a single person of their own level!? And 5 of them at that.

The Sky Emperor narrowed his eyes as he searched the horizon.

Another Saint pitched in.

"What are the chances that she ran away, Sky Emperor?"

The Sky Emperor squired his eyes. In the distance, a qi all too familiar.

"None"

A immense pressure suddenly befell them.

The light of the sun dimmed.

The skies turned a blood red, the atmosphere growing heavy and tense.

Millions of red particles gathered in front of the group.

"It's her, be on guard"

The many particles gathered into a ball, then dispersing to reveal a crimson figure.

'You don't have all day you know, my power isn't unlimited. You should make good use of the little amount you have.'

'I have no need for information I already know.'

'It would be you suffering, I just don't want your ascension to be delayed any longer should these mortar leave you half dead.'

Xi Meiying ignored the goddess, bring her hand near her waist, a blood sword forming in her right hand.

"Your knowledge from experience is lacking, Sky Emperor"

The Sky Emperor laughed. Who was he kidding? A mere child question his lack of knowledge?

"I wouldn't believe a human who hasn't lived a tenth of my age would be so bold! Power isn't everything!"

He brought up his hand, signaling to the other saints.

"Sealing Sky Formation!"

The 4 saints formed a square around Xi Meiying, the Sky Emperor appearing at the top. The four saints pressured Xi Meiying, limiting her movement.

"You should've ran while you had the chance, Xi Meiying. In due time, Xi Heji will be captured to suffer in front of you."

Xi Meiyings face remained unchanged as she spectated the rambling emperor.

"Your right, in fact, I just came back from watching a successful investment."

The Sky Emperor ignored Xi Meiyings strange remarked as he point his hand at her.

"Aros's Piercer!"

The four saints circulated power into the formation, forming invisible constraints on Xi Meiying with negative air pressure.

Up in the sky, an arrowed formed out of gale. Facing Xi Meiying, it shook violently, causing tiny ruptures in space.

"The power of a god is only useful to those who know how to use it. Your ignorance has lead you here Xi Meiying, I have already given you my chance!"

He brought down his hand.

Aros's Arrow exploded in Xi Meiyings direction. As Xi Meiying was restricted, she couldn't move in response to the incoming threat.

*BOOM*

The four saints retreated a distance to avoid the after shock of the explosion. As the five watched for signs of movement, the Sky Emperor felt a massive qi signature shoot towards him.

"Scatter!"

The five of them split upon his word, retreating in all directions.

*BOOM!*

In their place, a figure with giant blood red wings stood floating. Her violent red hair flew needlessly in the air. Her red eyes an eerily calm, a contrast with her blood filled body.

"Today you fall, Sky Emperor"
