“Then, that means they are preparing to attack again but this time, with a much bigger force... If that happens, my Empress, I can’t promise that I won’t end up destroying this area, especially if more Shadow Lords appear.”
There’s worry on the girl’s cold tone of voice and her body language expresses the same. She leans forward slightly towards the Empress while at the same time giving a single step forward, getting even closer to her Empress but without touching her of course. No, that would be the very meaning of the word disrespectful at least, for the girl that is. She also brought her right hand towards her chest, seemingly grasping her chest tightly at the same time but, it’s only a representation of such. Even though her tender right hand is indeed grabbing her clothes in that region, in reality, she’s holding her impotence for not being able to accomplish what her Empress asked her to. It does not make sense, an unforeseen situation that will require drastic means to solve it. It should be expected for such drastic means to be more violent as in this scenario, taking the situation lightly will have dire consequences and ones that both of them do not want to have.
The Empress knows that well, she also knows that the girl means what she said and her worry is also genuine.
“Dummy...”
This is why a soft smile forms on her glossy lips as she says this word with a somewhat quiet tone of voice but also soft. Why she faces backwards towards the girl. Why she moves towards her right afterward, all without saying a single word and consequently, confusing the girl. Why, once close enough, she brings her right hand upwards but also towards the girl, stopping only once it’s above the head of the girl. Why the very next moment she allowed for the rules of gravity to be enforced on her slender but also pale hand, making it fall onto the top of the girl’s head. And why she kindly caresses it for brief moments. The Empress hand is touching the girl’s veil, not her hair at all yet, the girl still could feel the warmth behind such action, the warmth on the Empress small hand.
Unaware, the girl blushes after receiving such vivid love.
Her greyish cheeks gain a slight shade to them, one that is a gentle red but quite noticeable. It’s not in the same way as it was when she was interacting with the Hero, nor the reasons behind it are nowhere the same but, it still is there just like before. The girl still is grasping her hand tightly but this time around, it’s not because she’s trying to crush the feeling of impotence but instead, a way to hold such warm tightly. Indeed, she’s enjoying receiving such kind love and it more than seems that, her Empress is quite happy for giving it to her. Though, at least for the girl that is, it lasted for a short period of time as a few seconds later her Empress gently and slowly removed her hand from the top of the girl’s head. Not only that, her kind look quickly switched to a serious one.
“There’s no need for you to worry about it as I will personally take care of all of them. And yes, I’m doing that on their “domain”. Since there’s a chance that a good number of Shadows are all present in a single place, I cannot simply waste such a wonderful opportunity that the goddess of luck is providing me with, don’t you think?”

Ah, her voice is cold as she speaks. As she affirms to the girl what she will be doing and indirectly, what will happen. Indeed, this is a good opportunity for her to eliminate several of those Defects and hopefully, those numbers will round the thousands. While the girl has much to say, she’s fully aware of her Empress strength and that’s why she didn’t speak a single word, let alone vibrate a sound through her mouth. Instead, she nods in agreement to what her Empress just said. Afterwards, the Empress asks the girl to stay in place, the idea behind it is to simply prevent from any Shadow from enter this universe and consequently trash this area if not even more. While there is no need for such, the girl quickly constructs her scythe while also getting in position to defend this place until her very last breath. Yet again, there is no need for such drastic actions from her as the Empress will do something that will shock her the very next moment.
Magic noises!
With her right hand touching the fissure, with the power of the Void she destroys it by force. The girl is surprised as she didn’t expect this but luckily to her, her Empress quickly follows up with an explanation. The first one is that, there is no need for such fissure to be open as she has already pint point their location accurately. The second reason is that, if the fissure is open then, there is a good chance that several Shadows at once can all go through it, something that neither wants to happen. By doing what her Empress did, it will force them to reopen another fissure, something that in her mind, it won’t be easy to do as she will most likely be decimating every single one of them but, since the possibility is there, they cannot let down their guard and that’s exactly why she asked of such. Once the explanation is done, the Empress proceeds to open another fissure in the fabric of reality but in this case, it’s far different than what the Shadows did. Ah indeed, the Void allows her to break the rules themselves as she desires, doesn’t it? A few moments ago, she explains what happens when a path is created between universes only to then, achieving something different. It’s almost as if she’s traversing between dimensions but instead, she will traverse between universes. It makes no sense but that should be expected from such irregularity. She creates a fissure with a simple snap of her fingers, one she did so quite elegantly but also arrogantly. The sound was loud, quite overexaggerated however, it seems with the vibrations of said sound, it was able to open said fissure. A mere analogy of course as in reality, it couldn’t be much different. She opens the fissure by first using the Void to tear the fabric of reality itself and then yet again, by using the Void she then creates a portal to wherever she wants to go to. That’s correct, rather than opening a path between these two universes she instead made a hole in one of them and stuck a portal in said hole, one that has the destination of the other universe.
“I will be going now and I will be closing this portal. In the case that I get too excited, I will get in contact with you so that you are not surprised by it and of course, worried.”
“You’re in charge my Empress, I fully believe in what you are doing even if I couldn’t understand either the reasons or goals for such. Good luck.”
After this, the Empress walks through the portal, exiting it the very next moment and what her golden sharp eyes see immediately brings a joyful smile to her face.
