The Fox Goddess

"HAHAHA! FINALLY! I have someone worthy to become my successor. Hear my call, my Era will soon be replaced by my new Successor. The Era of the Mystic Dragon God shall end right now and the Era of Lian Dagart's Rule shall start from today onward. I, the Great Mystic Dragon God, Vantil. Shall crown Lian Dagart to be the new Goddess of the Mystic Dragon Heaven, everyone shall treat her with great respect and honor. If anyone tries to disobey my order, I shall meet you personally to kill you. The Rule of the Human Race shall end, and my Beast Race shall now climb back again where they belong!" Vantil roared out shocking everyone who heard it. But that was not all, all of them could feel Vantil's Mana surging in every inch of the Heaven scaring nearly everyone.

They could feel its immense power, something that a true powerhouse can only bring… A True God.

"Before I leave this world completely, I shall bless this World for one last time. I will give it my last remaining Mana to evolve this Heaven to be a greater one, I hope all of you use it wisely. As for the Gods that can hear me… I am warning you to know if you ever try to touch my successor to try to get my Vault… I will destroy your divinity making you a mere Mortal. Remember that." Vantil gave his long and last warning before his words before he vanished from existence. The reason that he was able to come back to life for a few minutes is because of how he set up his Inheritance, when someone claims it, the Magic Circle that was set up in it would activate making his Soul inside to be active giving him a few minutes to do anything he wants. Though, the only reason that he did this was to greet his successor and know who he/she is.

When his voice faded away completely, he didn't vanish just yet. He arrived in front of Lian with a wide grin on his face and without saying anything, he patted Lian's head with a gentle smile on his face. His actions made everyone hold their breath as they looked at the scene in front of them, but it was more shocking for Mirel. He was feeling both nervous and proud of his daughter for getting the recognition of their Great Mystic Dragon God. But no one is more shocked than the person who was the one getting her head patted, her body froze on the spot, and even stopped breathing. She didn't dare to even lift her head to look at the person in front of her, she felt like if she move it would be extremely disrespectful towards Vantil.

There were only a few people that were unfazed by his appearance, but the most nonchalant person was Serene, she only looks at Vantil for a single second before putting all of her attention back on Ayame who has already taken a seat. The Dinner that Yuki has set up has already been ruined since she brought up the talk of the next successor of the Mystic Dragon Heaven, but now maybe they could continue it because it is already done. There was no danger anymore because now they know that Kaiser would not do anything toward Lian as they thought at first, now they can chill back, eat the delicious food, and drink the wine that Yuki brought from the Mortal Realm.

"HAHAHA! Don't be too nervous while you are around me, you are my successor so don't worry. Also, I apologize if Kaiser scared you earlier, but he doesn't mean any harm. He is just like become that when I passed away, so please forgive him for that…" Vantil smiled gently as he explained to Lian why Kaiser acts like that. Lian finally understands why Kaiser acts like that, but she didn't already hold any grudge against Kaiser, she was only afraid of him. But if there was someone who might hold a grudge against it would be Yuki as she got injured by him and even scared Aika. So sending a little look at Yuki, but just as she stared at her she saw her cold and piercing eyes looking at her as if she already knows what she is thinking about.

"Whatever you are thinking right now, I suggest you better drop it," Yuki warned lightly, but her tone was not light at all, it was terrifying for Lian making her shiver in fear. But when Vantil saw this, he slightly frowned before commenting on Yuki's attitude toward Lian.

"You are one feisty girl, you are nothing like your Mother who is very gentle…" Vantil said, but not he nor even Kaiser expected how Yuki would react to his words because it just really made his point true.

"So? What the fuck is your point? What does that even have to do with you? Nothing, right? So, can you do me a favor? Shut the fuck up." Yuki said coldly as she took Aika back to her seat before taking her own. She was quite pissed already by Kaiser and it only worsens when she heard Vantil's comment about her, but she didn't miss the fact that Vantil knew her Mother, but she would not ask him, she would rather ask her Mother about that.

"Mother, why does that guy seem to know you?" Yuki took a deep breath before asking. She simply ignored all the stares that she was getting from all the people, despite knowing her for quite a long time already, they just can't seem to get used to her cold personality. Even a True God like Vantil doesn't get away with her cold nature.

"Oh… That- Fine… I can tell you since you have the right to know this. Vantil, me, and Serene are childhood friends back like 500 Million years ago. All three of us are quite close, so close that we treat each other as siblings. You may ask where are your grandparents, but I can only say to you that I do now know, all three of us are homeless, we live in the streets of the Celestial Star Heaven. We climb up using our strengths until we achieved what we currently have. I'm sorry, you might be disappointed in me because of how I grew up." Ayame said with a little bit of difficulty, it was a hard topic to talk about and she was worried that Yuki might not accept having that kind of parent.

"Why are you saying sorry to me? Why would I be disappointed with you? That doesn't change the fact that you are still my Mother. Don't concern yourself with such stupid thoughts." Yuki talked with some clear irritation in her tone, but even with her irritation. Ayame could feel that Yuki meant what she said and that just warms up her heart making her eyes a little bit teary. She suddenly felt at ease when she heard how her daughter was trying to make her feel better, it was clear that she was not used to this so it was pretty stiff. But the effort was there, she could feel the emotion behind it.

"I'm sorry, I promise to not do it again," Ayame swore as she stood up and hugged Yuki, though Yuki didn't fully respond to her hug, Ayame felt that her daughter was slowly calming down, she even went as far as to place her hand on her Mother's hand that was currently hugging her. She wasn't that responsive, but it was enough for her. Seeing how her daughter was trying to make her feel better is something she wouldn't be able to see every day, so she would take this chance to enjoy it right at the very end.

"Mother? You're her daughter? You got pregnant with that man?" Vantil seems to get a piece of news that shocked him to the very core. He knew that Ayame was in a relationship with Andrew, but he wouldn't expect her to be pregnant with his child. Even though he was dead already and can't feel anything, he felt pain in his chest.

"Well, yes. A lot of things have changed since you take over this Heaven, remember that we have not seen each other for almost 200 Million years, so don't expect nothing would change in that amount of time," Ayame said as if she was reflecting on her own words.
