"Yep, they are below there," Erix snapped his finger and initiated one more teleport, arriving under the ground in a cavern with sand rivers and sand flowing from various passages into various spots through the barrier.


    Behind the barrier was the territory of the n. It was a dark brown sandynd with dark brown structures and glowing yellow lights.


    "This barrier is tough," Amu said. "But with enough power, we can make a temporary hole to get inside."


    "Leave it to me," Lilith smiled and stood before the barrier. Her Super Exotic Element activated as a ck circr mark started spreading on the barrier before dark red and dark gold patterns appeared akin to some magic circle.


    A secondter…


    *BOOM!*


    The Zerian demons felt tremors run through their n as their defense barrier was pierced through, creating a human-sized circr hole.


    Meanwhile, the elders, two guardian elders, and Leiro the young n lord were still in the meeting room, deciding their target.


    They felt the tremor and expanded their senses, immediately finding the bold infiltrators.


    Outside, Lilith, Erix, Rin, Lily, Aria, and Amu arrived at an open square in the middle of their small n territory which only had roughly 30 houses, 1 pce, and a few other professional structures.


    "Two Empyrean-order only?" Lilith pursed her lips. "They are small fry. Do I restrain them or kill them?"


    "If we can control them, that would be great," Rin grinned. "We''ll need more ves for our n anyway."


    "Alrighty, honey," Lilith chuckled.


    …


    The Milky Way Gxy was situated at the edge of the post-trauma cosmos, only recentlying under Mystic Root''s influence.


    Mystic Root''s influence in the cosmos was on individual cosmic bodies with inhabitants.


    It would only set forth an evolution path and a system to run it on the it discovered and deemed weak.


    Suchs were called Gravels by cosmic pirates, who roamed around to find suchs to enve people and exploit them along with Mystic Root''s influence.


    Far away from Earth, tens of gxies, and millions of lightyears away was a floating ind with a giant blue digital g on a mountain''s highest peak.


    The dark blue g had a ck beastly maw drawn on it, with terrifying fangs and teeth. It was glowing brightly in the eternal darkness of the cosmos to several lightyears.


    1000 kilometers long and 600 kilometers wide, this rectangle space ind was none other than Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom.


    The most prominent structure on this floating ind was the 10,000-meter-tall dark blue crystal pce with other decorations and structures of exotic wood, metal, and stone.


    In the council meeting room of the Pce, a shoulder-length dark blue-haired man sat on a throne-like seat.


    He looked in his fifties, with an aloof expression and rxed posture, wearing a pair of ck sunsses covered by a couple of his blue hair locks.


    Before him was a table where ten seats were filled up by eight people, ranging from looking in their teens to an old man with a long white beard.


    Four humans with naturally developed bloodlines, two vampires, one elf, one dwarf, and the old man with a long white beard, but only a single big eye and mouth on his face—a demon of Triton bloodline.


    Naturally, it was not wise to judge the age of these people by their looks. All of them were in Reverend-order, including, the head of the Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom—Krillom King.


    "Krillom, we got the coordinates from Zerians. Who is going there to conquer the and its people this time?"


    "One more coordinate shoulde in several days and I am going there, so leave me out of this," a young man looking in histe teens with spiky glowing yellow hair said.


    "We will be going to Axis realms after a year and we''ll need more manpower to extract resources and in the form of baits. The number of ves we need is a minimum of one million. All must be Royal-order and above."


    "A hundred thousand Empyrean-order are required as well and we only have 1 year left," Krillom King narrowed his eyes. "This Earth and another one that''sing to our hand are our only poultry farms for now."


    "So don''t mess up andplete the minimum required goals. We''ll remain stuckhere if we can''t secure resources from Axis realms."


    "Rowen of Green Light is after us as well, so at least four of us will have to stay here," a man wearing a cowboy hat and a cigarette in his mouth said. "Boss, select two people among us and send them to Earth."


    "Goldie and another can go to the second."


    Krillom King nodded, "Bill and Rani will go to Earth. Take 1000 Empyrean-order beasts and 500 Empyrean-order ves."


    Everyone was surprised.


    "Those many units?"


    "I don''t want any mess ups, so keep the under control and make it progress," King Krillom looked at Bill and Rani as he narrowed his eyes. "Especially your direct subordinates. Don''t let them mess up things."


    "Understood."


    "You''ll need a month to reach there, so assemble your ship and depart right now."


    …


    A giant ship flew up from the space ind.


    It was eight hundred meters tall in size, 1.4 kilometers in length, and 1 kilometer wide, housing an entire city inside the ship.


    The ship''s front released a beam that struck space a kilometer away and opened a massive wormhole.


    It entered inside and began Faster Than Light (FTL) travel in a subspace bubble—onward to the Milky Way Gxy, Earth.


    …


    Meanwhile, the Zerian demons were rounded up nicely.


    The n territory''s square was filled up with 132 people sitting. Couples, elders, kids, young adults.


    The two guardian elders at Empyrean-order lifeform rank were restrained with ease by Lilith.


    They were sealed, stuck on a tree each.


    "Who as the formation''s rune orbs? Take every single one out in the next five seconds or I''ll kill one person every second," Erix coldly uttered as he looked at all Zerian demons.


    "They will take it out," Leiro as he bowed and stuck his head on the floor. "Please don''t hurt others."


    "I know your n wants its Bloodline to continue and prosper," Lilith said, her eyes cold and narrow, "but unless you abide by our conditions, none of you will get to live to see the sun tomorrow."


    "First, the Zerian n will be direct subordinates of the Unfettered Fate guild," Rin said.


    Lilith waved her hand, creating a piece of paper with entric patterns on it. The patterns soon vanished, leaving the paper empty.


    "I''m sure you''ve heard of selfw contracts. I''ve already ced our intention in it, so you must willingly ept the condition and sigh it with a drop of your blood."


    Lilith sent the paper forward and added, "Do this so we can trust your alliance. If you don''t listen to us five people''smand, betray us, our people, or harbor harmful intentions towards us, you''ll lose your magic source from the origin region. This is the consequence."


    "That''s just make us ves!" the fat guardian elder shouted.


    "Pff, you think we''ll make you our masters?" Erix sneered. "Prove your worth to us and you''ll get freedom because freedom can bring your potential better."


    "But if that potential is not help to us, you will remain ves."


    Leiro bit his lips and stood up. The situation hade to this, so he had to steel himself and take a stand for what he thought was right.


    "Everyone," Leiro faced the n members and spoke with resolve and firmness. "Those who do not want to be ves will die and those will ept these conditions will live."


    "Blue Maw Pirate kingdom ising," the bald slim guardian elder spat with bloodshot eyes. "Do you think you can match them?"


    "Lilith, those two won''t be helpful. Kill them please," Erix icily looked at the two guardian elders.


    *Snap*


    *Chree*


    Both of their bodies exploded before their flesh and blood turned into ck ash and vanished as if corroded by death itself.


    "Sigh it to live as a ve with a chance to gain freedom."


    "Refuse and say goodbye to your life."


    Leiro walked before the floating contract paper and pricked his thumb before putting it on the paper. "I ept. For my bloodline, I refuse to die even if I have to live like a rat."


    "Don''t worry. We won''t treat you badly," Rin snorted. "Just do work for us, eat, sleep, train, and enjoy."


    Leiro turned around to face his n members and bowed. "Please, everyone. Do not forsake your life."


    …


    In the end, the rest of the members agreed, willingly epting the intention and conditions of the contract.


    Afterward, Erix and others took all valuable resources and treasures of the n before telling Leiro to transport their n territory near Phoenix City.
