I go through the other side and pull some spell books out. Hopping on Boo I start casting. [Greater Haste] [Greater Evasion] [Reinforce Armor] Were all casted on Boo. [Locate Object: Throne of the Beastmen King] Then Abby sets my spear and shield in my hand. I point my spear over Boo's head and say. "Go that way and ignore any who try to stop you. I'll keep you safe."

The proceeding charge through beastmen territory was as fast as it was violent. Any who tried to stop us were slayed. While I could have went straight to the beastmen palace, my authority is more reinforced from making a show of it. Future peace through today's violence. Any who watched me pass would tell how dominating my charge was.

<Brightness City>

'Albedo our lord wishes you to negotiate with the Dragon Queen. She has offered our lord her kingdom.'

'ALREADY! Its not even been a full hour since you were there! My love your powers are beyond imagination! I'll be right there!'

Seconds later a Portal appears and Albedo steps through with solution behind her. "Greetings Prime Minister Queen Albedo Ooal Gown." Says Primo not phased in the slightest by her nonhuman features.

Albedo's wings flutter at being called Ooal Gown. Instantly feeling better about this nation's prospects she greets everyone. "Bella, where is our lord?"

"He ran off to kill some king, told me to stay behind." She says lazily.

The look of fury on Albedo's face puts the fear of the devil on the other's faces. "Your job is to protect our lord. How can you do that without being by his side?"

"Relax Albedo he has Abby with him. He is the strongest of the 42, plus he is not to proud to pull back if he runs into trouble. We have our orders, we must simply do our jobs not question the All Father." Bella waves off her worry.

"Very well but we will be going over your role with him later. Excuse me everyone, you must be Queen Draudillon its a pleasure to meet you. I understand my role is to figure out the finer details of the deal you made with Emperor Quake." Albedo goes to business mode.

"Yes your majesty. I have offered my kingdom to the Emperor so he may protect my people." The Queen says gathering herself and preparing for whatever may come.

"A wise decision your Merit is proven. Besides the standard laws which are non-negotiable, what would you like for your people." Albedo asks moving to sit as Solution scratches at some papers behind her.

"May I inquire what the standard laws are?" Asks the local Queen.

"Of course, murder without due cause, rape, abuse of children, slavery and such are capital offenses. All races receive equal rights and protections, no nobility will continue the ruler will still be Queen or King but a dynasty is not a given. Even the Emperor's children must earn their place. In time basic education must be available to all so that talent has an opportunity to rise. Basically if someone is found to participate in the corruption of society they must be re-educated if they cannot change their ways they will be removed. All those that provide benefit to the greater empire are to have further opportunities to contribute. Thus Merit Over All." Albedo gives her little speech.

"So, what do you need from the empire?" Bella asks.

An hour and a half of conversation working on what the Emperor's Dragon Kingdom would look like takes place. Albedo speaks. "Very well this is a good start. If I could speak briefly with Draudillon alone for a moment queen to queen."

The local looks surprised but nods as she stands and leads Albedo away. When alone Draudillon asks. "What would you like to speak about Albedo?"

"I want to ask if you thought today was an accident?" Albedo asks her cat eyes narrowing.

"I had hoped but didn't think so. The Emperor gave me everything I wanted in a day. That is far to convenient to not be planned." She sighs.

"While my lord could likely do so on a whim he knew of your situation before coming here. I wish to know what you think of the man who came here of his own free will? He who could have let you and your people suffer but gave you the fastest path to salvation. Who is personally out fighting a war for you. Not sending a single soldier, just himself, he who leads and protects." Albedo asks clearly making her man known to the one before her.

"I don't know how to put it in words besides to say he is my hero. He may have manipulated me but not for himself, he did it for my people. He seems a true leader, willing to do what is necessary. I have always tried to be the same, it was why I used that form, to keep my people safe even at the loss of dignity." She says looking at the demon before her.

"My lord is a man of passion. He loves strong women like you. I recommend you search your heart and find if he is someone you would desire. If you go to him as a woman he will be the only man who ever knows you in that way. He will have many lovers and jealousy among them is not tolerated by any but him. You are under no obligation or pressure, I am a succubus, I know what you desire. I just wanted to inform you woman to woman and queen to queen. Have a lovely day Draudillon." Albedo says and walks back.

<Beastmen Palace>

I hop off Boo and Abby eats my shield. Taking a grimoire out I cast fly on her. "Stay out of reach until I'm done in there." Saying that I throw her into the air and she figures out how to stabilize herself before falling. Finished with that what must be palace head guards start to charge me. There is a big apeman that I'm not going to call Harambe. Two huge tiger dudes that are indistinguishable to me. And lastly is a rhino man lowering his head and charging down the steps.

I have Abby store my spear and cover my sword. Now equipped with the necro-sword I take the charging rhino head on. With his head lowered he doesn't see me side step him then lower my sword removing his head at his neck. His tough hide doing nothing to stop my blow. His momentum carries his body flying past my side the two tigers not hesitating to try simultaneous attacks. My new opponents try to strike me together but I out maneuver them with quick footwork.

The tigers try to create an opportunity for the big gorilla to do a hammer blow on me. When the move comes down the apes hands go flying removed at the wrist. His scream is cut short when I step closer and thrust my sword through his head from under the chin. I face the two tiger boys who look nervous now. I check their minds and seeing the terrible things they have done leave no mercy in my heart. In a flash I remove their limbs and leave them to bleed out.

I walk into the palace which has a very open Greek design. Heading straight to the big panda on the throne. I immediately start to search his mind. Ignoring the fact this monster literally eats babies I take any information about the surrounding countries. I find all his stashes of gold and other valuables. 'I want this monster tortured.' Pulling out a book I chant. [Greater Hold Species] I realize then he was trying to do the whole villain monolog as I rooted through his mind. 'Demiurge I have a piece of shit here that I want to receive the worst pain you can give. I mean absolutely break him but don't let him die. I am sending him through to tomb front now.' [Gate] I throw his frozen body into the portal.

Now that this has been taken care of I sit on the throne. [Summon Undead: Messager] I cast over and over again as clouds of faces began to fill up the throne room. "Tell the beastmen people of this country. 'The old king is dead you are now under the control of the Emperor of Nazarick. This nation and its people will cease all hostility with the other kingdoms. If you choose to disregard me you should pray your death be swift. Representatives of your communities should come to the capital and pledge allegiance to the Emperor. If you wish to deny my rule I look forward to correcting your mistake. If you have slaves or prisoners they are to be transported to their country of origin. Change is here Beastmen Kingdom do not be foolish and fight it.' Now, go to every corner of this kingdom and tell them my words."

'Bella, I have taken this country now its just a matter of fixing it. They literally ate babies. I'm so fucking angry right now I'm having a hard time not turning the nation to rubble. I'm going to have Pandora take over then head back. I need a relaxing evening.'

'Pandora's Actor, I need you to take over the transfer of power in the beastmen nation. Have Albedo help you, and take a strong Pleiades as a body guard. I'll send a gate to the front in a minute.'

[Gate] Pandora and Lupu come out from the gate and a moment after Albedo and Solution. "Thank you all I am not clear headed at the moment. If I have to look at another baby eating piece of shit I will burn this country to rubble. Wastefulness like that isn't what the others would want." I give a hug to P.A. and a kiss to the girls then open a new gate to Brightness city. "Someone tell Boo to get in here before this closes." I shake my head and step through. Behind me all three have hard looks and clenched fists.

Walking through the gate I see a bowing trio. "I assume everything has been handled while I was away."

"Yes my Emperor." X3

"Good I could use some hospitality to cure my foul mood. A bath a meal some booze would be a good start. Can I count on you three to help me out?" I ask taking off my bloody helm. Realizing I am a mess more than just mentally.

"Of course your eminence I can have your armor cleaned while you relax." Primo says extending his hand out for my helm.

"Thank you my son but the armor has its own functions. Abby would you please?" All my armor is absorbed by the symbiote and I am left in a red kilt and nothing else. I feel all my martial skills activate unnoticeably. "Primo if you could get your chef working on some food for me I would appreciate it. Bella relax its over, nothing left to do but move on."

"Yes my love I just should have been there." Bella says tears pooling in her eyes.

"Queen Draudillon can you please guide us?" I ask as Boo comes in through the gate and I let it close after her.

"That red head lady was mean." Boo whimpers behind me but I ignore it.

"Of course my Emperor was... it a hard fight?" She asks hesitantly.

"No, but what I saw they had done to your people. That hurts even my old soul, few things I have encountered have been that terrible. Albedo and my children are handling it but I'd rather stop thinking about it." I say trying to let go of what I saw in that monsters mind.

She leads us to her suite and through into her private and spacious baths. She went to the tap and turned the magic water pump on. Bella thought that was too slow so she casted [Create Water] and the stream tripled. "Thank you Draudil, you can go if you'd like."

"I'll stay and help if that's alright?" She asks.

"Sure." I say having Abby absorb my kilt.

"Close your mouth dear we need to clean him first." Bella says to the Dragon.

A calming evening passed by the queen enjoying my company. Eventually she appreciated Bella's help just as much. I lay back on her bed as the two held on to me both sleeping lightly. Deciding to just leave that entire kingdom to my children I pulled a book out. [Mage Hand] I start writing a letter to Enri.

After finishing it I casted [Messenger Bird] and Hedwig showed up in all her white feather glory. Sending it off I decide to plan my next adventure, though I would take a break for a short while.

In the morning after another romp with the girls I asked Draudil if I could see anything she had on wild magic. She figured that it wouldn't matter even if she showed me because it is bloodline magic. Not that she would hold back now that she was a queen of my empire.

Wild magic is coding. Plain and simple the problem these local dragons have had with it is they do not use specific language. They just say destroy my enemy, then they burn enough souls to compensate for the poor direction. I could work with this, while I couldn't use the wild magic in my base form I specifically created an [Aspect of Change] alter ego that could.

Dragon as a playable race in YGGDRASIL was the hardest to achieve. You must first max out a character to level 100 then go down a quest line and take blood from the snake at the base of the world tree. Then perform a ritual sacrificing a world item to start as a level one dragon. This would have all had to be figured out through the rumors of the world. If someone hadn't used a developer contact world item to try to become a dragon. Then bitched about what he would have to do to everyone who he could, I never would have known.

I had time, money and an alter ego to burn on the process though. I was the first player dragon not that anyone besides the developers knew. It did get me a unique racial skill for a dragon [First Dragon]. The race had five levels like all master level racial classes, its description read like I was the God progenitor of the species. Honestly I am nervous to even use the form in the New world but wild magic is too big of a tool to lose.

Deciding to be as secure as possible before trying to transform into my dragon aspect. I [Gate] to Nazarick. Receiving my ring I tell Nabe to put the tomb in lock down. I teleport to the most secure area of Nazarick the treasury. As I appear the maids stationed there bow to me. Handing Yuri my ring I tell them to monitor the area but no matter what do not try to enter.

I pass the series of traps and security measures. The mausoleum with the image of each of the former members as an avatar. I walked past where Pandora's Actor lives to a door hidden in the wall. Placing my hand on it I recite the chunni passphrase. "There can be only one, and here may he find sanctuary." The door opens and reveals a quiet meadow with a river running its length. This place had every flavor text to give peace of mind safety and security to the one person allowed within. It truly felt as though I stood in my personal sanctuary. The world outside could burn to the ground and this place would remain untouched. It is the last bunker twice separated from reality.

I walk to the center hearing the water quietly gurgling and feeling the calming breeze. My mind is in zen as I stand and breathe in place. Then I activate my aspect.

Fire hot and riotous wells within my chest I feel my humanoid form gain a foot in height. The horns on my head extending and curling to have a backward swooping arch. I feel myself want to extend wings that I can make appear in this form. I feel an agelessness settle on me. I feel everything on this world and in this universe is beneath me as pride surges in my mind. I am a God!

My mind is slowly coming down from the high of power as I feel the area taking effect. I know I could shrug off this place and burn it to the ground. But I hold back, I am still me somehow. I have all these racial skills trying to assert itself over my human mind but this place is helping me remember my goals. My reasoning, returns fully and I consciously turn off my overlapping draconian auras. Everything becomes easier to manage and I realize that ego could have gotten me killed. I could think of a hundred things off hand that could destroy me. The being that reincarnated me comes to mind first. I don't feel I have any of the three O's. I couldn't even extend my senses beyond this room. I am no god.

Humbled and calm again I try some of the things this form should be able to do. I transform from a humanoid to a literal dragon. My four limbs lower to the ground my wings spread from my back snapping the air lightly. My neck extends and my face forms a fanged snout. I feel intrinsically that this isn't even a quarter of my full size and I am already the size of a professional football stadium. My scales are a reflective black, when light shines on them it looks like the night sky full of stars.

I test how small I can get and find it to be the size of a house cat. I transform again into a human with no draconian features but find my subconscious not enjoying hiding my heritage. I look like Jason Momoa in the aqua man movies but my tattoos are like dragon scale not fish. Seeing I have no connection to the outside world my wild magic is not responding though I can still use the tier system just fine. Theoretically as soon as I exit this room I should be able to bend reality to my will and at the latest after leaving the treasury. I feel I have been humbled enough that I won't immediately do something stupid.

I take a breath and head out the door. Apparently one degree of separation isn't enough to stop my mastery of wild magic. I inherently know that this is the magic of developers, and I can use the power of the world to create miracles. I humble my self again and think I still don't have the 3 O's, I could be wiped by an extra planner being and not know what happened. Getting my thoughts together I head back towards the entrance. There I see the maids in a fighting stance looking at me with mistrust.
