Emperor's Reckoning

"Welcome to the World of Blue!"

The blow of the wind fluttered their hair as they were in the azure sky. The clouds were like cotton candy with the volume of a mountain. The shimmering light of the sun and the dancing grass. It was a beautiful world filled with nothing but nature's finest.

"Wow," said Tuey as she took a peek below. The sea was glimmering with the sparkle of a diamond from the beacon of this world. Different varieties of fishes could be seen leaping out and into. Her bare eyes were treated with something that was totally different from her archipelago world.

Yoji nodded, "This is not bad indeed, shame I couldn't visit this world before."

"Hahaha," the old man laughed proudly as the powerful man admitted the beauty of his world.

"However, this is where my journey ends, for now," muttered Yoji.

Tuey furrowed her eyebrows, "Older brother, aren't you coming with us??"

Yoji smiled before he willed the Tetragram Chariot to park the nearest cliff of their position.

The old man, the two servants, and Tuey stepped down from the chariot before the last one, Yoji who carried his emperor.

He looked at the one he called 'Your Majesty' with a sense of honor and respect but also a hint of mellow. The gentle wind made the grass dance as well as their neighboring tree. The group stood silent as they watched the two.

"My journey with His Majesty will end here for now," said Yoji to the group before he approached the dragon lady.

"His Majesty said that the day I would be required will come, so until then, dragon lady, please I beg of you, take care of the most important human in the entire mortal history!"

His head slightly bowed as he gave Lyon for the dragon lady to carry. However, the groups were surprised to hear his remark. The most important human in the entire mortal history, said by the powerful man couldn't be taken so lightly. There was not a hint of a joke in his tone nor his expressions.

Though surprised, she nervously nodded. She might not have known how Lyon's journey in the past had been since she was confined by the humans for quite a long time. She opened her arms before she carried Lyon.

"Also," Yoji banged both of his knees to the ground.

"As the representative of all humans in the Arch World, I AM SORRY!"

The dragon lady and the rest of the group rest their eyebrows and opened their eyes wide.

"If only, I built the empire sooner, if only I've met you sooner if only I didn't get poisoned, you wouldn't have to face such a fate! However, I have a request for you, please don't blindly hate on all humans!"

He banged his head against the ground after he said those words. The powerful man that they couldn't even keep up was kowtowing against someone weaker.

The old man, Tuey, and the twin servants looked at the dragon lady who was about to open her mouth.

"No, I don't hate them, the ones I hate all have suffered and killed. The only human I hate left is nothing but one," said the dragon lady as she darted her glance from the kowtowing Yoji to the innocent face of the young man he was carrying. A glimpse of his face and no one, not even the gods in heaven nor devil in hell would expect him to be a perverted man.

She smiled, "Coincidentally, he is also the one that I wanna be with."

She planted her forehead against his as she closed her eyes. There was no doubt happiness on her expression.

Yoji instantly stood up with a smile.

"Pfft!" Tuey and the old man tried to hold their laughter as there was some dirt left on Yoji's forehead. (This is bad! This is bad!) thought both of them as they looked at each other. They didn't want to offend the monster that could control those four gallant stallions.

"Thank you! Don't worry, His Majesty won't disappoint, especially if you are one of his harems."

(Ahhh.... shit....) thought Yoji behind his smile. He had unknowingly set up a bomb timer.

"I-uh... I will see you guys later I hope," (I'M SORRY YOUR MAJESTY!).

Yoji immediately scurried away from the scene as he rode the Tetragram Chariot and enter the Arch World in a blink of an eye.

The old man felt the cold atmosphere before he scratched his head, "Uhm... how about we going downhill for a moment, I know the main road, we can go... there."

"Right, let's go to the nearest inn, after all, he needed to wash away all the dirt that on his body," said the dragon lady as the smile in her face gone without a trace.

"Eh? Dirt?" muttered Tuey as she slightly tilted her head. No matter how she looked at Lyon, there was no dirt on his body.

"Yes, dirt," muttered the dragon lady with a snort before she grabbed Lyon by the leg and dragged him down on the ground as she made her way below to the main road.

Tuey and the old man had their mouth twitched as they looked at her behavior while the twin servants looked at his master with sympathy.

Meanwhile in the Arch World.

Yoji took a sigh breath of relief before his eyes turned sharp as he looked at the part of the world that the demi-humans rule. In particular, the empire that was ruled by so-called dragons.

"You know where we are going right, Tetragram!"

The four stallions neighed as they raised their hind legs. Yoji took a deep breath as he said, "Go!"

The tetragram chariot was breaking the sound barrier as they launched with a sonic boom. They traverse through the chaotic spatial storm that was made by Lyon's Roar of Shattering World with ease. Even when the zap of the lightning that managed to lick one of the stallions couldn't make a bruise.

It took them less than thirty seconds before they arrived above the unfamiliar island.

Yoji furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the condition of the broken island. All the buildings laid flat as blood painted on the ground. There was nothing left alive on that island. The victims all either had their heart exploded as well as their entire bodies. No matter their race, all were killed by that single shattering roar.

Yoji jumped off the chariot before landing with a boom on the ground. The island shook as he darted his glance toward the ruined palace. Amazingly, the throne still stood and two people could be seen sitting on it.

One was a middle-aged man who wore nothing but a casual robe but Yoji could clearly see that his chest was wasted to the point of bordering between life and death. It only took him one look to know who he was, especially with those eyes of his and the woman that sat beside her.

"You look ridiculous."

However, Yoji's words couldn't reach their ears. They didn't even notice the loud landing that Yoji had made.

"I see, you guys turned deaf, I must say that you are quite unlucky."

(Oi, you two!) said Yoji using the  Mana Transmission directly to their minds.

The two of them raised their eyebrows before they took a glance at him.

(Another human) thought the emperor.

(Who are you?!) asked the queen.

Yoji smiled, (C'mon, you must not have forgotten the human emperor, have you?).

(Yoji?) thought the emperor as his eyes opened wide in disbelief.

(That's impossible, Yoji is old and wrinkly, he is almost at the end of his lifespan!) said the queen.

Yoji shook his head, (I know right, fate has not been good to me but now, it has).

(Never mind, what business do you have here? Can't you see around you? The empire of demi-humans is no more) said the emperor.

Yoji smiled, he knew the emperor would be too proud to say that the human had won the world.

(However, I will tell you this since we are both emperors of our respective empires, there is a threat that we must get rid of, together! Otherwise, he could do the same to your empire!) said the emperor as he stood up from his throne.

Yoji was silent as the queen said (We are waiting for the Golden Dragons race to come in about three and half days, we will ask for their aid and brought this menace that stole my daughter down to hell).

Yoji chuckled, (I've heard you put a human on a cross?)

(Yes! He is the same guy! We need to—)

(He... is my emperor).

Their vertical pupils shrunk as the atmosphere turned cold the moment Yoji furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't hold back his killing intent as the entire island was under its subjugation.

"Die..."

Yoji brutally disappeared from the spot before the broken island capsized with an exploding boom.
