Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 489: New Fiend Emperor Had Risen

"Yes!" the maids replied, shivering. No wonder her highness didn’t do anything before. She knew Aunt Xiao would take care of things later.

Aunt Xiao nodded in satisfaction. However, a frown appeared on her face when she looked at the tightly shut door. Her highness really is acting willfully.

Still, as someone who had followed the empress here and taken care of her since she was little, and furthermore remained unmarried the entire time, she saw the empress like her own daughter.

She knew that even though the Second Empress looked bright on the surface, she had actually been cold and quiet in the palace, and always been extremely lonely.

Aunt Xiao had witnessed how impressive the new Emperor was tonight. He wasn’t a bad choice for her highness.

Fortunately, she still had at least a bit of restraint, at least closing the door. The formation should be active, right...

As soon as that thought emerged, however, a noise emerged from inside. Aunt Xiao was speechless.

What is up with this girl? Does she have to go that far?

She had no experience with such things herself, and the palace had always been a lonely and empty place for her too. When had she ever experienced such a shock before? She quickly left with a reddened face, dragging the excitedly listening maids out with her.

"We will stand guard a bit farther out. We cannot let anyone within several dozen meters... no, several hundred meters!" Aunt Xiao ordered with a flushed face. The two inside really had gone crazy!

The young lady was still the empress! Even though the Fiend Emperor had died, this was still the Fiend races’ Imperial Palace. Who knew how many people were watching it?!

Just like that, after half a night, Aunt Xiao finally couldn’t take it and knocked on the door. She called out, "Your highness, it is already daybreak. We have to carry out his majesty’s ascension to the throne. Your highness also needs to wear the ceremonial dress."

The Second Empress’ ceremonial dress was extremely grand and complex. It was something a large group of maids needed to help with.

"I got it~" a lazy, extremely sweet voice called out from inside. It even made Aunt Xiao, who was also a woman, shiver.

Inside the room, on the phoenix seat, the Second Empress’ skin was covered in a layer of beautiful rosiness. She looked at the man next to her with tender feelings, her eyes misty and beautiful. She said, "I’ve discovered that the noble title I gave you before was just too fitting, my dear... husband."

---

After daybreak, the grand ceremony began on the altar outside the Imperial Tomb. The first task was to announce the death of the late Fiend Emperor, and the second was to announce the ascension of the new Fiend Emperor.

The Second Empress became the Empress again. Since, all night many have found the Second Empress screaming the new Fiend Emperor’s name.

The young prince became the new Crown Prince.

All of the representatives of the different clans attended the ceremony, gathering below the altar. They all sighed in amazement. It was said all across the world that the Second Empress was incredibly beautiful. Today, they discovered that her reputation was fully justified.

Furthermore, her complexion even looked a bit rosier than usual. Many people thought, Your husband just died, and yet you’ve become even more beautiful after seducing the new Fiend Emperor.

Of course, those were just playful thoughts. Not even enemy clans would dare to voice out. Afterall the current Fiend Emperor was really strong. He has already proved by killing many of the Grandmaster ranks.

And it was also normal for him to take the Second Empress as his own Empress. Because of this she is also the ruler of the Fiend races.

People tended to be in good moods during happy occasions, so it was natural for her face to be glowing like that. As for the loss of her husband, and gaining new, it was the royal family, the place that lacked feelings and affection the most.

The Second Empress walked along the carpet and up the stairs. It was the most important moment. As the Empress, she had to receive the bows of everyone. At the same time, she had to crown the new emperor in the late Fiend Emperor’s place. She was dressed in splendid clothes; her long dress dragged behind her along the stairs, resembling a phoenix tail.

At first, she walked in a graceful and poised manner. Suddenly, however, her figure trembled and her beautiful brows furrowed.

Aunt Xiao, who was following beside her, was startled and quietly asked, "What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing," the Second Empress said, shaking her head. A hint of bashfulness flickered across her face.

Just then... ’that’ had trickled out. She had actually been trying hard to control it along the way. However, the stairs were so long that it really challenged her willpower.

That guy really does pour like a waterfall...

She hadn’t slept all night, and dawn had broken before she realized it. Then, Aunt Xiao and the others had led the maids in to get her dressed. Time was just too tight, so she hadn’t had time to bathe at all.

Fortunately, her dress was extremely grand, so it was also extremely sturdy. It prevented a shameful display. She took a deep breath, then continued up the stairs.

In people’s eyes, the Second Empress’ every action was dignified and noble. Apart from being a bit too lovely and charming, there wasn’t a single flaw they could pick at.

However, the Second Empress’ thoughts returned to the previous night’s charming and gentle events.

Sharky had deliberately told her to deactivate the formation. She had guessed what he was thinking, and hadn’t been all that willing deep down, but she was just as unwilling to offend him over such a thing.

Thus, at first she had decided to use silence to express her rejection. Unfortunately, Sharky had charged straight in like a battering ram. The empress had been utterly defeated from practically the first encounter.

As she had her own sense of pride, she had bitten down on her red lips to put up a weak final defense; however, the more she did that, the more Sharky took advantage of her.

She hadn’t thought too much of it, and just assumed her charm had completely drawn out the instincts hidden deep within him. She even felt a bit of pride. Still, Sharky was just way too rough! It really was too... too good.

Before absolute force, her resistance was completely meaningless. Soon afterward, she had become unable to hold it in, giving Aunt Xiao a real fright.

She had never let herself go like that before, nor had she ever experienced such a feeling, where every single one of her cells was cheering with everything they had.

At that instant, she had felt as if she had lived all her previous years for nothing. She was unsure whether she could ever feel as happy as she did at that moment again.

And yet, the moments that followed had completely overturned even that admiration...

She hadn’t expected that not only was Sharky so formidable in cultivation, he was also even so... formidable in ’that’ kind of thing. No, he was even better at the latter.

She was pretty confident that he was unmatched in that field. At that moment, she finally understood why he had so many stunning beauties around him.

Whether it was the Medusa Queen, the Elf Princess, the two ridiculously beautiful grandmasters, or even the Ocean races’ Mermaid Princess...

Any one of them would be a woman whom most people could only long for but never obtain. And yet, those women all surrounded Sharky!

She had found it really strange before. Had these women all gone mad? They were all the best of the best, and yet they had to wrong themselves and share a man? However, after the previous night, she finally understood. She was still too naive.

After a long night of battle, she discovered that not only was she not tired today, she was even glowing with life. Even the injuries from the conflict from the night before were completely healed.

As the Fiend Empress, she naturally had more knowledge and experience than most. She had experienced such intimate contact before, so she immediately noticed that Sharky’s blood essence carried extraordinary aptitude. It was absolutely amazing for women.

Even though she usually had a charming demeanor, that was just to win over the court ministers. No one had ever heard of her having any ambiguous relationships with others; she had never been a particularly licentious woman. However, the previous night had changed her completely, and she just couldn’t get enough.

At first, she had only planned to borrow Sharky’s transcendent aptitude blood essence to nurture herself. Eventually, however, she unknowingly completely fell under his spell.

For a moment, she even had thoughts about birthing his child. She had completely opened her body and mind to him.

Aunt Xiao quietly observed her expression the entire time. When she saw the empress’ sweet smile, others wouldn’t know, but she definitely knew what was going on.

Do you really have to act like that while looking that beautiful... Aunt Xiao thought inwardly. However, she quickly recalled what she had heard the previous night, and she couldn’t help but bite her lip.

The coronation platform shone with divine golden light as ancient runes ignited beneath it, illuminating the entire Fiend Imperial Capital. The flames curled upward like phoenix feathers, filling the air with sacred power.

The Second Empress ascended the stage gracefully, holding the Crown of Flame, a relic said to contain the will of the first Fiend Emperor. Every step she took was measured, dignified — a bridge between the old era and the new.

Sharky leaned his head in front of the Second Empress. Then, with solemn grace, the Second Empress placed the crown upon his head.

"By the decree of heaven and the will of the Fiend Ancestors," she proclaimed, her voice ringing across the capital,

"I crown you, Sharky, Emperor of the Fiend Races, bearer of the Golden Phoenix Flame, and ruler of all Fiendkind!"

The new Fiend Emperor had risen.

From the proud Peacock Wise King to the Golden Peng King, from the Mermaid Princess to the Elf King, all bowed deeply toward the throne. Even the winds seemed to still as they paid homage to the successor chosen by heaven’s flame.

The Second Empress turned toward Sharky, her gaze soft yet proud. But before she could step back, Sharky rose from his kneeling position, turned, and faced the countless gathered clans. His golden eyes glowed faintly beneath the crown’s light.

With a calm yet commanding tone, he declared,

"From this moment forth, the Second Empress shall stand as my Empress."

Gasps rippled through the court. Countless eyes widened, and even the Grand Elders froze in astonishment.

Sharky, however, didn’t waver. He stepped toward the great Flame Throne, its back carved with phoenix wings, and sat down slowly. Then, with unhurried confidence, he extended his hand toward the Second Empress.

The hall fell utterly silent as he drew her closer — then gently seated her upon his lap, positioning her beside him on the throne.

The Second Empress’s face flushed faintly, but she didn’t resist. Yet beneath that brilliance, the Second Empress’s heart grew heavier with each passing breath.

Countless eyes were upon her. Some filled with awe, others with disbelief — and still others with whispers they dared not voice.

Just moments ago, she had been the widow of the late Fiend Emperor, mourning beside his cold spirit altar. Now, in front of the same court, she sat upon the throne again... but beside a different man.

Her face, normally calm and composed, trembled ever so slightly. The weight of those unspoken thoughts pressed down on her like a mountain.

What must they be thinking?

The proud blood of the Golden Crow burned within her veins, but even she could not stop the faint redness from creeping into her cheeks.

"Long live the Fiend Emperor!" "Long live the Empress!"

The cry spread like wildfire, rising from one voice to a thousand. The entire capital echoed with the sound.
