"Uh, I still have so much work to do… Yin, are the emperors here?" I ask the shadow towards the corner of the bathing room.

"Yes," She replies.

"Good,"

The night quickly passed, but I had to get up extremely early in the morning, so I had enough time to finish everything that I needed to do.

"*yawn*... Okay… All of you bastards need to get your shit together and set away some of your pride for just a second. I don't want my empires dying just because the rulers are too prideful to work with others,"

I've never seen empires cooperating to such an extent in my previous life.

It was all just them trading… but I want more than that.

I want them to benefit from each other like a self-sucking circle… what was it called… uh… ouroboros? The self-eating snake, I think.

"Maids, bring them some food," I say as I am eating breakfast on my throne, but the emperors in front of me were just sitting at the grand stone table, hands in their laps.

"As you wish,"

A grand meal was set out for them in just a few minutes, and they immediately dug in but kept almost all their manners.

They really are royalty….

"May I speak?" The emperor of the Empire of Glaciers speaks up.

"Go ahead," I wave my fork at him.

"Can't we just split some of the land? I don't see the point in giving us land that focuses on only one part of the plane,"

"Okay, listen to me. If you all focus intently on that one part, the progress on that one part will be so much better than if you all shared. Conflict will arise, and that will slow down the progress… So, now all you have to do is just share," I respond, but they furrowed their brows in protest.

These fucking…

"Is your wife here?" I ask the Emporer of the Empire of Lava.

"Yes. She is outside the hall right now,"

"Bring her in maids," I order upon hearing confirmation.

Kolora, the Empress of the Empire of Lava… stepped into the throne room, unable to meet my eyes.

"Come here,"

She quickly scampered over to me before kneeling on one knee before me.

"I have come, your highness,"

"Huh? What'd you call me?"

"M-Mistress, I meant Mistress… Please forgive me,"

"*sigh*... Whatever. Anyway, I want another perspective. It's pride getting in the way, right?"

Kolora glanced back to her husband, who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Y-you are correct,"

"THEN GET RID OF THAT FUCKING PRIDE! I DIDN'T WANT TO KILL ALL THE HUMANS, BUT YOU ARE TESTING MY LIMITS! I WOULDN'T MIND TAKING SUCH A DELICIOUS BAG OF XP!" I shout.

My bloodlust exploded through the room, causing the emperors to go limp their chairs.

The maids in the room, though, we're used to it, but they still couldn't help but shake a bit from the skin-crawling feeling.

"Oh my god… I can't. You're all dismissed,"

But just as they were about to leave, I said one last thing as motivation.

"If you can't work together, I'll just kill all of you and build a kingdom of monsters. I only wanted to use the humans to expand it quicker, but I don't mind waiting a few months. Our population has already tripled by the end of the war… So if you think I'm joking… Try me,"

The emperors left, gritting their teeth in anger, but I could sense a hint of paleness within their faces.

"M-Mistress, may I leave," Kolora asks.

"*sigh*... Go. And maids, bring the documents I need to read and sign. I'll do them while listening to the guests,"

"Thank you very much," Kolora says before scampering off.

I leaned back in my throne, feeling the stress battering me like a wave of bricks falling onto my head.

tsk

A few weeks had passed since the meeting, and we've actually made progress for once.

There was a slight rebellion, but I quickly took care of it by myself, which sparked a new fear within the humans.

They immediately went to work and actually set down their mountain-like pride, allowing for exponential growth.

Once they realized how much progress was happening, they began to work even harder, and eventually, mostly everything had settled down… there were only a few problems within my family.

"Look, darling, I'm sorry I haven't been able to talk to you in a while. Mommy has just been busy with work," I say as Olivia crosses her arms and snaps her head away from me.

She had grown into a fine woman about as tall as me.

Her strength had also grown by quite a lot as she's been training with her other mother, Treyni.

"I hate you," She says before walking off into the hall.

​ I've been so swamped with work I've been unable to talk with any of my children.

I, of course, saw my wives when we went to bed, but I've had absolutely no downtime besides that.

"Maids, watch over her for me," I sigh, and the maids immediately follow my orders.

"My cute little sister, how are you?" I hear a voice come from another hallway leading to the throne room.

"What do you want, Reyna? You didn't even notify me in advance," I turn towards the voice and see Reyna walking towards me.

"I just wanted to visit my cute little sister, and I also brought along your children? Did you also forget about them?" She chuckles, and my two daughters, Luna and Freya, run towards me.

I let them jump into my arms before I hugged them tightly.

"Mom, we already took over Auntie's kingdom!" Luna says with a proud smile, and Freya just adds a smirk.

"What?"

"I mean, they aren't wrong. They're very smart and have already absorbed multiple trading companies into their own company," Reyna adds.

"Really?"

"Yep,"

I hugged my daughters tightly once more before having the maids escort them out of the throne room as I wanted to have a talk with Reyna.

As soon as I noticed everybody had left, I spoke.

"I'm leaving,"

"I know,"

"..."

"If you ever have nightmares, you can always think of your wives or me. We'll protect you in your mind, and when you're here, you protect us physically," Reyna says, walking up to me and hugging me tightly.

I held no attraction towards her but definitely felt safe around her.

The racial aggression I had towards her dwindled over the past few weeks, and I actually began to see her as my sister.

She also reminded me of somebody in my past life…

"Do you believe in reincarnation?" I ask as Reyna sits down next to me on my massive throne.

"No… But being reborn does sound nice, doesn't it?" Reyna says with a smile.

But, I didn't see Reyna at that moment.

I froze in place, the image of her slowly fading away... the girl who had saved me when I was so young...

"Are you crying?"

"N-no,"

"Well, you can cry as much as you want when it's just you and me,"

Dark purple hair.

A warm smile that pulled me out of my darkest times.

I was sure… It was her.

"Are you sleepy?" Reyna asks as I lay my head in her lap.

The entire day had passed, and she hadn't left my side, even as I finished all my work and gave an audience to all the guests in my castle.

"Mhm,"

"Want me to take you to your wives?"

"I want to stay here," I mutter before slowly closing my eyes and feeling the warmth of her thighs comfort my body.

And so, the first sister of the 6 Greatest Plane Walker Siblings was created.

Reyna, the Walker of the Abyss, spreads her tendrils.

Arpious, the Walker of the Consumed spreads her wings.

(Unknown POV)

"BAHAHAHAHAHA! HE DIED! THAT SMARTASS ACTUALLY DIED!"

"Well, it was to be expected. Paimon was the weakest out of all of us, and even though he was especially manipulative, that can't overcome true power,"

"Lucifer, what do you think?"

"I've taken an interest in her. Absolutely overwhelming one of the kings of hell is no feat to scoff at… BUT I STILL CAN'T FORGIVE HER! HOW DARE SHE KILL THE PLANE GUARDIAN THAT I SPENT SO MANY MILLENIALS PICKING OUT!"

A burst of bloodlust began to crack time and space, but the user of that bloodlust began to cough up blood.

"BAHAHAHA! YOU IDIOT-"

"Shut up," The woman directed her intense glare at one of the kings.

"Lucifer, we should interfere. She has the potential to grow into something that threatens us,"

"Yes, interfere,"

The woman sitting atop her throne spread her black wings as if she was about to sore off into the blood-stained sky.

"The war is approaching… Within a few years, it will have grown into a full-fledged war that will disrupt the balance of the system… I'm sure the great spirits won't sit back once that happens,"

"I know… tsk... DAMMIT!"
