Defying

Izan went inside Defying with Jiutian following right behind him. The silence followed the two of them for a long time before a soft voice sounded out. "Izan, I know you are trying, more than anyone could understand. That is also why I am hoping that you could be patient a little longer. We have a lot of time before we will face the real threats, until then, we will just need to become stronger and keep our thoughts calm." Jiutian knew that she couldn't help Izan with his fragmented personality, and telling him the truth about the Real Universe and about his past would make it harder for Izan to keep himself stabilized.

A sigh sounded out from Izan, he would need to be patient, which was something that was hard for him. "I know. There is so much wrong, but I will continue forward." A small smile appeared on Izan's face.

It didn't take long before Izan and Jiutian entered the dining room, Jiutian flickered her hand and several platters of food appeared. "This is just something created, it might not have been personally been made by me, but I think it will taste good anyways…" Jiutian hasn't had time to cook lately, she did feel sad that she couldn't make food for Izan by her own hands, but she hoped that there will be more time in the future to do so.

Izan sat and reached out for the food slowly, he didn't feel hunger, but he wanted to place something in his mouth and eat. Izan ate in silence and Jiutian sat across him, staring at him without blinking.

The door to the dining room went open, Perona and Shirahoshi walked with half-awake, Perona let out a little yawn and Shirahoshi was barely able to keep her eyes open.

"Dear!" Perona flew forward and hugged Izan with a huge smile on her face. When she saw Izan sitting there, all of her thoughts left her mind and wasn't sleepy any longer. Perona's smile turned even wider when she sensed Izan's hand slowly stroking her hair.

"It seems that my little wives are finally awake." Izan spoke with a smile on his face, he kept stroking Perona's hair while Shirahoshi went towards the seat near Izan and sat down with a blush on her face.

"G-Good morning…" Shirahoshi's voice was like a mosquito, almost like it could vanish in the air. But, all three of them in the room managed to hear her.

Perona sat on Izan's lap and ate with vigour, she was feeling very happy that she could finally offer her virginity to Izan. Now with this, all of her sisters and her belonged to the same group, as Izan's wife.

The four of the ate in silence, but all of them were smiling of some sort. Izan had his usually handsome devilish smile, Perona had a happy smile, Shirahoshi had a shy and innocent smile and whereas Jiutian had a small smile that was calming.

It wasn't before they all finished speaking that Izan started speaking. "We will be leaving Fishman Island today. We can't delay our plans yet, a war between the strongest will begin soon. A war for the right of the Throne."

Shirahoshi didn't know what to think, she had grown a little stronger over the past week, but she couldn't manage her courage that much into joining a war between the strongest of the seas.

Izan could clearly see that Shirahoshi was struggling with something, his smile didn't vanish as he spoke in a calming tone. "Shirahoshi, there is much to do, fighting isn't the only thing. You can stay on Defying and take care of it, right?" As Izan said this, he sent a short glance to Jiutian.

Jiutian understood what Izan wanted to do. "Izan is right, having someone onboard of Defying will be something that we will be needing to have after this moment." This was a lie, but Jiutian played along with Izan who wanted to let Shirahoshi stay peacefully onboard on Defying.

Shirahoshi seemed to sigh in relief, she could defend herself, but it had never come across her thoughts that Shirahoshi would have to fight enemies.

Izan stood up from his chair, also raising Perona with him. "Jiutian, could you teleport us?" He asked in a calm voice, it didn't take a second before they vanished from Defying.

On the Defying, an eerie noise sounded out as an ethereal figure appeared. But, it didn't take a second before Jiutian reappeared near it. Jiutian's eyes squinted slightly as she gazed at the ethereal figure. "You are Defying, aren't you…?"

The ethereal figure seemed to be prideful as it nodded. "I was named Defying by my Master…!" The voice seemed to make even the air tremble as it spoke.

"Then why don't you show yourself to your 'Master' yet?" Jiutian could guess that it would be able to present itself whenever it wanted, then her question was to the ethereal figure why it hadn't done so yet.

The Ethereal figure of Defying seemed to stay silent for a moment before it replied. "I am still making a body that my Master will accept. I will not allow myself to show a body that Master might hate…" Defying had since long managed to think properly, and its intelligence was rather high. But Defying wanted to be sure of what kind of body it should make for itself, it would not allow a single mistake, because if there was something at fault with its new body, its Master, Izan would be sad… That was something Defying would never want to see…! It would rather destruct, kill, and destroy everything in the entire world rather than to see its Master sad.

"It seems like you are stronger than I could have guessed…" Jiutian commented as she gazed at Defying, she was rather surprised by how strong Defying was. It was below her own strength, but above Izan's current prowess.

"… If I can't be this strong, I will disappoint Master. That is something I will not allow…!" As Defying was saying this, its ethereal figure slowly vanished.

"Interesting…" Jiutian spoke with a small smile on her face. She wasn't surprised that many things would want to follow Izan, his charisma suited him well as an Emperor that rules everything in his palm and destroys everything with a flick of his hand. Even she herself was affected by his charisma, Jiutian would follow Izan no matter what and do anything and everything for his best.

Jiutian couldn't help but to think of Izan's Empire in the Real Universe, his army, his commanders and his servants. All of them were the best of the best, one stronger than the other. With a single command of Izan, the entire Empire would act upon it without a single moment of hesitation.

It has been millions of years since Izan had first died in the Real Universe, but Jiutian knew that Izan's Empire stood there without anyone being able to contend against it.

"As long as those two are still there, no one in the Real Universe will be able to force anything upon Izan's Empire." Jiutian's smile turned into a vicious grin. "Izan will return soon. And his return will cause an entire bloodshed throughout the entire Real Universe…!" A white glow appeared around Jiutian as it seemed to destroy even the air around her. But as fast as it appeared, it vanished too swiftly.

"The day is reaching faster and faster…" Jiutian's grin didn't vanish as she wanted to laugh out loud. "Even if the two of them knows about me helping Izan right now, they could only grit their teeth and allow me in doing so, hehehe…" Jiutian felt happy that she had a special ability in the Real Universe, after millions of years waiting, she could finally use it properly and help Izan.
