<h4>285 Ymir, the zing Ashura King</h4>
-----
Between the three cities that make up the zing Ashura Nation, the city of Inferno, is the biggest one, where ze is the second biggest and me City is the smallest one.
Nheless, each city has different members of the royal families scattered around. zing Ashura usually fight for supremacy, but due to the previous King rules, such nonsensical acts were abolished.
Each City is governed by a different group of the Royal Family, and the biggest city is usually led by the strongest Ashura in the family. Ymir, the strongest zing Ashura, and Ashura''s (the Yokai King) eldest brother, governed over the city of Inferno with his overwhelming strength and talent.
Ymir despised the weak and approved of various old customs that were once abolished, after the death of his father, the previous King, and by the manipting of his mother, the current Queen, Ymir became a cold-hearted man. Ymir brought back very, Bandit groups to control the viges, and also the nonsensical fights to show off strength, something that was seen savage by the previous government.
Currently, in the middle of the City of Inferno, a great event was taking ce inside a coliseum made of charcoal stone. Ymir sat down on his throne made of scarlet gemstones and jewels, with some of his siblings and his mother on the sides.
Ymir nced at the center of the coliseum with fervor and excitement, his scarlet red eyes shined brightly, releasing small sparks of mes.
Today was an entertaining day in the boring life of the King of Ashura, as various ves that were captured and bought were now sent to this coliseum and were being forced to fight for their lives in a crude and inhumane way. All of the beliefs and statements that the previous King had worked so hard to entrust on his people were now beingpletely ignored.
The weak and poor were sent to coliseums or sent as work or sex ves, and now, Ymir had personally brought fifty ves so they could entertain his day while they kill each other desperately.
Aside from this, he had also included various hellish beasts that inhabit the Lower Realm, to spice things up.
A small, Hellhound boy ran for his life as a giant three-headed wolf followed him around with his jaws open wide, releasing saliva. The beast was clearly starved so it could be ferocious, after seeing such a juicy prey like a small child, it couldn''t contain itself and immediately pounced after the child.
"Bwahaha! Run! Run for your life! Will the dog catch you?! Should I bet in which head would eat this weakling?" Laughed Ymir, as he nced at the spectacle down bellow with a maniac smile.
"Hahaha! That is a splendid idea, dear brother" Answered one of Ymir''s siblings, a young-looking zing Ashura woman, she had a wicked and mischievous nce.
"Huh? What did you say?! Are you defending this weakling, Ruruno?!" Yelled Ymir, as his muscles bulged and the veins on his forehead pumped with blood. Ymir was clearly angered over his brother showing any hint ofpassion.
"I''m not, I''m just stating my opinion on the fight, I just find it quite boring, that is all"
"Heh! Who cares about what do you think? I like the struggle of the weaklings! Even in fights where everything is impossible… The thrill of life and death is not only in fights from equally stronger individuals! Just the struggle for survival is amusing enough! Anything will do, as long as it can move its legs and run, and have a mouth to cry and beg for help!"
"Sigh…"
After saying such words, a "st" sound roared around the coliseum as the three-headed wolves caught up to the hellhound child, and devoured it with one bite, stting its internal organs, blood, and flesh around the floor.
"Bwahahaha! Damn! That kid looked very thin, but his body really exploded like a balloon! Bwahaha! That''s nice! Bring the next ve! Don''t you see that the dog is still hungry? One small child won''t be enough to satiate the hunger of a three-headed giant wolf! Hurry up!"
The guards guarding the gates where the ves were being hold opened them quickly, sending off a new ve to the coliseum. Ymir once again released an excitedugh, while pping his hands and releasing fiery mes.
As this happened, a spy showed up and quickly informed of Ymir about the situation that has been happening in thest two days.
Ymir suddenly lost his excitement and stopped pping his hands andughing.
"Hey, what did you said…?"
From the sudden ughter of every Bandit to the "liberation" of the oppressed viges, Ymir heard everything. Although he may seem like a stupid muscle head with a fetish for gore, he was very cold and calctive sometimes, and when his ns, which he has been handling from the shadowse to an abrupt end, he feels incredible frustration. This frustration was multiplied by the fact that such events were being held byplete foreigners.
"HOW DARE THESE ANTS COME FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND DO AS THEY PLEASE IN MY DOMAIN?!" Ymir''s raging voice resonated through the entire coliseum, every noble cheering up or talking around suddenly went silent, even the ve and the three-headed wolf became paralyzed in fear.
"Tch! Now I''m not in the mood for this crap! Guards! Kill off these ves and the wolf as well, I don''t care anymore… And also gather a big force, send all of the champions in there, we are going to ughter these invaders! My siblings better cooperate as well"
Suddenly, Ymir''s four siblings who were present stood up and nodded in agreement, each one was trembling over Ymir''s presence, which was overwhelming enough to paralyze people with a strange force, or even cause them instant death if they had weak wills.
"Yes, my beloved brother"
"Certainly, I am at your service, brother"
"Right away!"
"Without a doubt, I shall do everything I can"
"Well? What are you waiting for?! Get going!!!"
"Y-Yes!!!"
"Y-Y-Yes, mother, excuse me"
"Uaah! Y-Yes!"
"Hiiiiiiiiiii! Y-Y-Yes! Right away! I shall do what you say!"
Ymir''s four siblings then ran away for their lives as they went to do as their big brother said. Ymir''s mother nced at his son as he barely could contain his anger.
"S-Son…"
"Shut up! I''m not in the mood to talk, I want to see this group being ughtered in the worst way possible! How dare they enter my domain and grab on my property?! And they even call themselves Gods?! What is this ridiculous statement!?"
What Ymir''s mother, the current queen never predicted on her ns was that his spoiled and maniac son would grow to be such a cold-hearted individual even to his mother. She was no more than decoration at his side, and he governed the ce with tyranny and fear.
Ymir decided to throw on his useless siblings first instead of going there himself, as he wanted to gather information on the foes if they were to be stronger than he could predict.
On his fiery rage, Ymir walked away and went to his private rooms, where countless concubines and sex ves awaited him every day, he then decided to rape them to release his frustrations and rage. The sounds of the pained women could be heard through the entire castle.
Ymir did not stop until they lost consciousness, most of them dying in the middle of the intercourse, he enjoyed their pained moans the most, if they yelled for help, it just made it better for him.

"So how strong are zing Ashurapared to the other races in the Lower Realm?"
Over my question, Ashura, the Yokai King, gave me aplex look. It seems that his idea of what was strong has been changed too much since he met me.
"Well, we are supposed to be the strongest race, our nation has incredible military power and we used to rage war against the Dwarven Kingdoms and the Venomous Empire"
"Incredible military power? That''s hard to believe"
"I-Indeed… Well, we used to, my big brother wasted it all away, enved half of our military power, and made them kill each other for his own amusement inside the coliseums… Our father would be regretting giving the seed that would give birth to Ymir to my mother by now…"
"Why is he so stupid?"
"Ymir is not stupid, he''s just insane. He has many facets that my mother manipted him to create, he''s both a bloodthirsty maniac, has rage problems, a cunning bastard, a cold-hearted damned imbecile…"
"Okay, okay I get it, he''s quite the guy"
"Quite the guy?! I don''t think that''s a good way to call him, he''s the worst! Even you are more reasonable and a loving parent than that monster!"
"Me? Don''tpare me with food, kid"
"S-Sorry about that… But, will it really be… okay? He''s too strong"
"We''ll see when I fight him, I don''t think he''s as strong as Athos, or I would have felt his presence long ago… He seems to abuse a lot of his blessings and talents but hasn''t developed his level, skills, and techniques at all. How could his siblings not surpass him with effort?"
"Well, he exiled me, and also enved my siblings…"
"H-He enved his siblings?"
"And mother as well… He has enved almost everyone in the Kingdom"
Oh well, I''m not really that different from him now that I think about it, but there are crucial things that end up differentiating us. Hmm… Am I going into too deep into this hidden monologue? Anyways, I just came here to eat these people and get stronger, this includes my family, getting stronger equals being safer after all.
Any opportunity, even eating these fools, works for me. I don''t care about their hidden disputes or dramas; they are equally delicious snacks for me. The vigers and some citizens can also make up for good work hand and soldiers, zing Ashura is very durable, a single adult man is stronger than over twenty Elite Skeleton Warriors, if they participate in wars, they can get stronger and evolve as well.
That Borkus guy was an evolved Ashura, demi-human races barely evolve in the surface, but here, in such harsh conditions, they seem to have a lot of evolved soldiers. Giant zing Ashura is the usual evolution for a Warrior zing Ashura, but there are also Arcane mes Ashura, for a mage, or Shadow ze Ashura for a spy, archer or thief.
ording to Ashura, Ymir was born as an evolved species, being named Golden ze Emperor Ashura. Something called a Divine Species, I think? But what is Divine about it?
"So what''s Divine about dinner- I mean Ymir"
"You don''t know, Master Kireina? Divine Species are beings born with immense talent and power, and can learn how to manipte the power of gods as well, even if they are mortals! It is said that they are born every hundred thousand years, and are destined to be great gods! That''s is probably why he was blessed by the Demi-God of Undying Burns and the God of Burning Battles…"
"I see, that just makes him more appetizing now, fufufu"
"I-I guess…"
After learning more info about the Ashura, we reached thest vige, which was being currently upied by some guards and soldiers, which we ughtered with ease.
This time I left the work to my youngest children, Vudia and Ailine.
Vudia drank the blood of the Ashura and her golden eye became scarlet red while she grew vampire fangs, she also gained superhuman strength coupled with her already immense cyclops strength, she ripped each guard with her tiny, and delicate hands while releasing an innocentugh, that''s my girl.
Ailine, on the other hand, danced around while manipting her Colorful Aura into coiling ropes, surrounded the guards and soldiers with them, and then sliced them into pieces, she has be quite skillful in the technique of magic solidification.
After gathering the vigers, who were instantly healed by my daughter Amiphossia, we decided to rest for a bit, feeding the hungry vigers, who were being currently starved by the guards and soldiers. I don''t want sick and weak farmers or workers, so getting well feed is crucial on their stamina, they also need to walk a lot now, because we are raiding the first city on my scope, the me City.
Hmm, these guards have very soft and tender meat, they barely work like Bandits, which made them more delicious though.
