Chp-42 Many Years Later..

In Deudenia. Bael Pov.

Yo guys! Welcome back to the next chapter of this fanfic! As you have probably read the title, it has been 200 years since my Reincarnation and then transmigration to Tensura.

There have been a lot of changes that has occurred in the world. Especially with The Empire of Orion.

First off, let's begin with the starting point, The Death Lands. The Continent has had a massive overhaul with its lands and vegetations. Well, it never had any to begin with. It was all a barren land.

With Gaia working on it for the first 1 year we have managed to create the ideal location for a living habitat of Dragons. Snowy mountains, volcanic ranges, plains, Lakes and a large forests for all types of dragons we have.

Speaking of dragons, the summoning spell can only summon elementary dragons like wind, ice, water or Earth. So, Rhombus was working on a way to breed two species of dragon with different elements and produce offspring with both the set of elements in them, or even better a hybrid.

At the beginning there was a set back in the experiment with the genes of the two parents fighting over dominance and it was hard to get both the genes to co-exist together. But after Isabelle joined in on the research after her own work in Volen finished, the experiment is going along smoothly.

Now we have dragons holding five basic elements in their arsenal flying around in hundreds. Some have mutations like Ice and Storm making Icy-storm varients. Or Steel dragons.

And you might wonder what Isabelle was working on before she joined the reasearch.

Well, I had taskes her with exploring the Ancient ruin in Volen. And we have found some interesting historys.

As the first 3 floors of the dungeon was already vandalised there was nothing to see there. It also had no murals or wall carvings showing that the initial three floors were just decoys and the real value lied in the last two floors.

And it did. After the seal was broken and the floors were thoroughly searched. There were scriptures written in ancient language that seemed to have been lost to history. But with the help of Isabelle's Unique skill Researcher, she was able to decipher the translations.

Her unique skill allowed her parallel thinking, thought acceleration, analysis and the ability of perception. She can alter the perception of anyone she targets, showing her what she wants them to see. It works as a mild illusion.

From the writings it was discovered that this ruin was built by a Majin of the past. There was no mention of the Majin's name but he described himself as the Sword of the Empire. Most probably the Eastern empire.

In the series, I don't remember any character or dungeon being here. Well the whole country is not there.

It seems that this Sword of the Empire guy lived in the era where Veldanava stilled lived on the planet. He mentions things like how Veldanava has grown weaker and will need a replacement for him, this guy says that Rudra is the best candidate for it.

He tried to persuade Veldanava of this idea, but Veldanava refused saying he had already made a choice. He was angry, angry that Veldanava refused his proposal, the great "Sword of the Empire" . So he waited, waited for the day Veldanava will die.

He knew that Veldanava married a Human, who already gave birth to a child. And soon Veldanava's power will dwindle. Then he will take his chance. To kill the whole lineage of Veldanava.

It seemed like he misunderstood what Veldanava tried to say.

And so, after Veldanava's death. He set up a plan to get the strongest kingdom of that time, the super-sorceror Kingdom. He enticed Jahil, a high human to launch an attack on Milim.

But due to some issues the plan had been postponed for some years, because the Holy war had started. And due to the war, this sword of the Empire guy built the dungeon. As a safe spot to hide and scheme.

He also held many researchs over monsters. As we found many monsters with mutations and hybrids of many monsters. If even one of them escaped the dungeon, the kingdoms of today might not have been able to hold them off. Each monster was atleast A ranked. And they were in the thousands.

Regardless, it was easy for Isabelle and Shah el Ru to control the monsters and kill them. Some were kept as research materials.

Next up was our progress of world domination. At the beginning, I was quite enthusiastic of the prospect but after a year I had a thought. That maybe I should slow this down a bit. Let's not rush it. So slow we went.

After two hundred years, on paper Orion has all of the western countries in its hold leaving those that were important for the plot, but in the comercial side, we were the dominant ones. In the dark market as well as the light, we were the top. Everything had our brand in it.

For the continuation of the plot, I left Ingrassia, Blumund and Farmus out.

So, including the western nations as well as the sorcerers dynasty was under my rule.

All these didn't come without it's troubles

though. The small demon lord's who weren't even true demon lords called a Walpurgis.

Claiming that I am trying to steal their territory which I was. Some of them had set up base in small kingdoms, which Orion had conquered.

But all these was Silenced with a simple kill here and there. Guy didn't mind it because he knew my true goal. As for the original Ten , they weren't that bothered with what I was doing.

I thought about claiming the Jura Forest as my own, but I knew that the demon lords will not tolerate it anymore. And for now, I liked my peace and quiet.

I had also started my plan of starting a religion. Just two years back, Veldora had attacked Luminas's kingdom, so as a fellow Demon Lord, I kindly helped her.

It was the most fun fight I ever had in a long time after with Guy. In the fight between us two, the hero too joined in on it.

But since she was a hero, she started to fight both of us. But I was able to soon convince her to seal, Veldora first and she listened.

After Veldora was sealed, me and the masked hero or Chronoa met up. It was an interesting chat.

3rd pov.

*To the past, in Veldora's Cave.*

"Who are you?" Asked Chronoa. Her hand on the hilt of the sheathed sword.

"Me? I am a Demon Lord Bael Draconio Armenon. Ruler of Death Lands and the Empire of Orion." Bael said, his hands on his hips,with a smirk.

"No, I mean. Where do you come from? Outsider." Said Chronoa, although she had a mask on her, Bael could sense that right now she had her eyes squinted as if to judge what his reaction would be.

But Bael remained unfazed, he expected such a question to come up. Knowing who Chronoa was, it was obvious she would know about Outsiders.

"Have you heard a world called Yggdrassil?"

Bael began with a question of his own.

"A celestial tree that is said to hold the worlds on each of its leaves?" Chronoa answered.

"Yes."

"But why are you asking me about this? Are you implying that you come from this Yggdrassil?" Chronoa asked. '

Yggdrassil, the world tree that holds the seven realms in Norse mythology, I don't remember there being an Empire called Orion or even about this Guy.' Chronoa thought.

She had already decided to meet with Bael a long time ago when she entered Gemmera. But when she tried to use her time stop ability to reach Bael, she found that it was impossible to activate it within his radius. It was as if his existence negated her ability.

So, she decided to wait, for the right opportunity. And it was now, when unexpectedly Bael had come by himself to subdue Veldora. She didn't know what relations he had with Luminous but after battle she decided to talk with him.

"Exactly. It is not exactly the Yggdrassil that you know of, but it is completely different.

There is no concept of King, Gods and Higher Beings. But, there is a council of Beings that Governs the working of Yggdrassil, they are basically Gods per se.

I come from this universe. Where Countless beings fight for the spot on the top. Each beings capable of atleast doing some damage to a country. The ones at the top could be considered to have strength of a Demon Lord."

"Then...Are you one of them?" Chronoa asked, she knew the answer but still chose to not believe it.

"Yes. And rest assured, they won't come here." Bael said.

"How can you be so sure of it?"

"Because, Yggdrassil is no more."

"No more?...you mean it doesn't exist anymore?" Asked Chronoa, surprised.

"Yes, the Council decided that Yggdrassil has lived it's life for long enough, so they decide to end it." Said Bael.

"But..what about the inhabitants? What of them?" Chronoa asked, a little perturbed at the thought that a group of beings so casually decided to end an entire Universe.

"Some decided to Cross to another universe, some chose to end their lives with Yggdrassil." Bael said plainly.

"...what is your Motive? For coming to this world?"

"The only thing I want to do, is enjoy myself."

"How do you plan on going about with this?"

"With World Domination." Declared Bael.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a katana reached his neck just nano-meters away from touching his skin.

"Feisty aren't you? You are concerned about a certain someone aren't you?" Bael said, not at all bothered of the Legend Class katana.

"How did you-..I see" as soon as she got shocked that Bael knew about Rimuru, she realised why her time stop ability didn't work on Bael.

"You also have a Time Skill, don't you?" Chronoa half stated, half asked.

"Something like that. Anyways, I know who you want to protect and I promise you, I won't let him die either." Bael said, as he used his finger to move the katana away from himself.

"Why would I believe someone like you?"

Chronoa asked, still suspicious of Bael's intentions, but still she lowered her blade and sheathed it.

"Because he is an interesting fellow. Naive at first but he does come up with some interesting ideas." Bael said.

"..."

"Did you know? He is the reincarnation of the God of this world?" Seeing that Chronoa still doesn't believe him, Bael decided to drop another bomb on her.

"God?! Veldanava?" A Shocked Chronoa asked.

"Yeah. Now, you decide if I would have any ill-intentions against him?" Said Bael as he put his hands behind his back and waited for Chronoa to answer.

"You have saved yourself for now, but remember, If you even dream about doing something to him, then I will have your Head." Said Chronoa as she disappeared, from Time and Reality.

'Like You could.' smiled Bael as he opened a Gate and left the vicinity.

*Back to Present*

Bael Pov.

Anyways, another major thing that happened was that off the 17 demon lords, 7 of them had either died or are missing.

Basically, after I killed the three dumbos in my first Walpurgis, there were only Seventeen remaining, with me joining, it became 18.

During the period of Orion occupying the Western Nations, some of the Demon Lords had tried to challenge me in war, because some of the kingdoms that Orion annexed were their territories. So I did what a responsible conqueror would do, kill them and assimilate their armies.

And from the remaining ones, Kazeram, the leader of the weak demon lords, somehow challenged Leon, leading to him dieing, and Claymanic taking his seat after defeating another Demon Lord. It seems atleast in this universe, he is atleast an Unawakend Demon Lord level. But he still doesn't have a seed.

And that was all, about the black market, Granbell Rosso did try to spin some schemes but we're instantly thrashed by Darkseid who was incharge of Commerce now. I have ordered Darkseid to just keep an eye on Granbell and inform me when he acquires a little innocent granddaughter.
