The dragon's harem

Chapter 943: The Monster Above



As the black-haired woman walked into the room, her eyes were burning purple. Her glare immediately shifted toward the pale night, "Is the bitch who did this inside you?" She growled, the bloodlust bursting from her glare enough to kill even some gods.

Hati waved her hand, "Come on now, Vasilissa, sit down. They were training."

"You close your mouth; let I shove my foot in it." Vasilissa growled at Hati, "Where is the bitch, who did this." She rushed toward the pale night and lifted her by the neck. "Speak, or do you want me to digest the whole mortal world and shit it on your doorsteps."

"Put her down!" Hati stood, "She only came here since I called her." She tried to pull the two apart, but Vasilissa lifted her by the neck as well. "I'll skin you after her. You're the one who hid Arad in your domain."

"Calm down." Even though being lifted by the neck, Hati's expression didn't change one bit. "You know Arad, and you know that he won't grow unless pushed to failure. You agreed to this, so do your job."

Vasilissa gave them a sharp glare and then threw them on the ground. She dropped down and a chair appeared beneath her. She sat beside Arad's bed and extended her hand above him, engulfing him in a cloud of dark magic.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Did you calm down?" The pale mother stared at her with a smile, "I know how a mother would feel seeing her son cooked like a fine steak. But you must grow tougher, he can fend for himself now. I have billions of children as well, and they suffer injuries worse than this each -day."

"You grow cold when you've given birth to that many. You aren't a mother, you're like an ant or a bee queen, shitting children like they are her breath." Vasilissa looked at them with a still enraged glare. "Next time something like this happens, you can forget about me helping. I'll rip this whole world apart, take my children, and leave."

The two understood that Vasilissa's threat was no mere boast. Zooming out of Hati's house you could see the wild jungle, then the beast lands, and then the other humanoid kingdoms all nested on a massive continent, several unexplored islands and small continents dotted around in the deadly sea. But when you zoom out even more, fly outside of Zephyr's

expansion, the atmosphere, you reach the moon.

Going past the moon and zooming even further, you'll find the solar system of the mortal world-a sun surrounded by elven planets orbiting it. But what protected that solar system wasn't a massive spherical barrier, it was something else.

The mortal plane of existence floated inside the void, inside the stomach of a massive monster, a void drakaina of mind-boggling proportion. She floated alone in the empty dark space, swimming away, carrying the mortal world with her as she protected it from the rare but dangerous abominations attacks. That massive void drakaina was Vasilissa.

As the long centuries of swimming in the bland empty void grow too boring for her, she creates dolls of flesh and bones and sends them into the mortal world. She uses those remote- controlled dolls to live countless lives to pass the time. Sometimes she's playing as a farm girl, and in the next she's an adventurer sailing the seas with pirates.

The entire mortal world was already in Vasilissa's stomach, one whim away from being digested. Countless heroes and villains were born on it, thriving in wealth and laughing with arrogance. Some of them discovered that Vasilissa held some power and tracked her dolls across the world, not knowing the scale of the being they were targeting. They, their wealth and pride, their families and ancestors have never expected that they weren't even worth the shit they flush down, every one of them was already eaten by Vasilissa, they were born in her stomach, doomed to never reach her might.

What Lunara feared as the overgod's wrath before was her mistaking Vasilissa's powers for the overgod's divine punishment. When a demon lord makes his way to the mortal world without abiding by several roles, Vasilissa instantly digests them where they stand.

"He's basically dead! It's a miracle that his soul didn't leave his body." Vasilissa growled, glaring at the two women behind her, ready to rip them apart.

"There are no miracles in this world, you know it better. It's my eternity keeping him alive. It was the same with the one he fought." Hati sighed as she leaned back, "Can't you relax a bit? He won't die easily, not with us around."

"With you around? He's in more danger." Vasilissa sighed, "It's only been a year since he's been born. He should be living like a normal human, hiding his powers and growing a nice family. When his human guise expires, he'll shift to another life and keep going. After several centuries and when he's grown old enough, that's when he should've gone out of his way to seek power."

"Not All void dragons have that luxury and you know Arad, he can't live a normal life." The pale night leaned back on her chair and put one leg on another.

Vasilissa glared at her, "He'll get that luxury if I start ripping the world to shreds." As she finished that sentence, one of the mountains in the distance had vanished, and every lake in the whole beast kingdom had dried. Not a single fish remained, and the sun started flickering.

When Hati looked out of the window, she saw Vasilissa's claw eclipsing the sun. "I'll fucking throw it down, I swear! If I find him this injured again, I don't give a shit about you or the overgod. It's war!" She shook the sun left and right, and the people of the whole world thought they were seeing some magical illusion, their brains couldn't even fathom the idea of a monster that huge.

As void dragons grow into their great wyrm stage, they split into two groups. The drakainas get handed a world each to protect, so they carry them in their stomachs and fly across the void, and the males, the dragons, fly alone across the empty void, seeking to hunt the abomination more actively.

But the worlds aren't handed randomly, they are evaluated and each drakaina gets a world based on her power and worth. The mortal world was the most frequent target of the abominations, and Vasilissa receiving it was a testament to her power.

Vasilissa's magic only took minutes to fully cure Arad, they were all creatures of the void, and her mastery of matter reconstruction was far above the understanding of others. She broke Arad's body down back into energy and then formed that energy back into stable molecules, muscles, and bones, all while keeping Arad's vital organs like the brain and spine stored securely in her void.

Vasilissa smiled, "He grew stronger than last time."

"He stopped a whole ass moon." Hati sighed.

Vasilissa looked at her with a terrifying smile. "A moon? So, the bitch was either Selune or Lunara, I'll rip their breasts out when I find them."

The two froze in place, realizing that Vasilissa was still mad, she hadn't calmed one bit. She only changed her strategy of getting them to talk and succeeded.

"Wait! Don't go attacking them! Selune is a goddess and Lunara is a demon lord!" The pale night gasped, "Selune especially, you'll get killed."

While Vasilissa indeed hosted several planets and their moons inside her, those moons weren't the only source of Selune's power. All of the other worlds, hundreds if not thousands of worlds that were protected by Other drakainas also had their planets, moons, and suns. Vasilissa only held a tiny fraction of Selune's power hostage.

Vasilissa stared at them, "Remember Astra? The goddess of shooting stars?"

"No..." The two stared back at her, they knew all of the gods, but Astra wasn't one of them. There was never a goddess called Astra.

"Yes, you don't remember her, so shut the fuck up. Otherwise, you'll become nothing alongside Selune and Lunara." Astra did exist in the past, but once Vasilissa got to her, she ripped Astra out of the fabric of reality, erasing her existence from the past, present, and future. The only one who remembers her besides Vasilissa is the overgod, Kayden, and Death

herself.

Hati who called Vasilissa in the hope of getting Arad patched up quickly before tomorrow's training started to regret her decision. Arad's mother is a monster of great power and intellect, an intellect so far higher than mere mortals that fooling her is nearly impossible.

Now poor Hati has to get her to fully heal Arad and leave without causing any trouble...She wasn't looking forward to that.
