I covered the distance in a matter of minutes, moving so fast that almost nothing could compare to my speed. If I wanted, I could probably fly around the world in under an hour. My power had reached a point where ti and space seed almost irrelevant.
When I reached my destination, I imdiately sensed that sothing was off. The landscape around felt... empty. There was ice, yes, and a massive lake in the center, but it didn't feel like a place that housed any beasts. The water was so pure, it sparkled with a light blue glow from the very bottom, so clear that I could see all the way through it without a hint of difficulty. But that was not all—it was as if my connection to the world itself was being pushed away here, like sothing was preventing from fully perceiving this place.
"I don't understand..." I muttered under my breath. This entire situation felt confusing, like there was sothing I was missing. Just where was I supposed to go now?
I looked down at the lake again, my thoughts racing. "Should I dive into this cold lake?" The idea alone made my body shiver. The water had to be freezing. Even with my exceptional resistance to the elents, the thought of plunging into this unknown, frigid water didn't sit well with .
Yet, I couldn't ignore the fact that this world was different. Things that should have been impossible, like liquid existing at temperatures well below freezing, seed to happen without question. This world didn't obey the sa laws I was used to. Or maybe... were there really any laws? Living in a world where special powers were common, where anything could be possible, made start to wonder if physics even mattered here. Or perhaps it was that planets like my old world had their own set of rules, unique to their existence.
I had nothing to lose, so I plunged into the cold water. Just as I had guessed, the freezing temperature hit imdiately, and I could feel my body shuddering under the cold. It wasn't life-threatening, but the discomfort was undeniable. Moving felt like wading through a thick, biting chill, and honestly, I wasn't a fan of the cold to begin with.
When I reached the very bottom of the lake, my eyes caught sothing—a small blue light, no bigger than a finger, barely noticeable among the shadows. Intrigued, I pressed my hand against it. The mont I touched it, a sharp dizziness swept over , and my vision blurred. Then, without warning, the world around shifted.
I blinked, and when my eyes refocused, I found myself standing in a completely different place. It was a separate world, or at least, it felt like one. I could tell by the sky, it was falling, crumbling at the edges like a shattered glass pane. The entire area was small, no bigger than twenty kiloters, yet its isolation felt... suffocating.
At the center of this fractured world stood a massive creature. It looked like a yeti, towering and imposing, its form frozen in ice. But what really made my heart skip was the sheer aura it gave off. It radiated such overwhelming power that I was stunned. This creature was unlike anything I had ever faced. The pressure in the air itself seed to shift with its presence. It was more powerful, perhaps, than anything I had ever encountered before.
"It has to be alive, right?" I wondered aloud, my eyes locked on the massive beast. It wasn't moving, but of course, it was trapped in ice. Still, I had to inspect it. And when I did, the answer was clear.
[Ice Emperor][Demigod level beast][Level 402]
Twice my level, and four tis stronger in stats than ... But those stats were just the system's numbers. Now that I was in the Soul Fuse stage, I wasn't afraid. Why should I be?
A surge of heat radiated from within , and as if in response, the very world around seed to tremble and begin to lt. My golden flas danced wildly in the sky, their glow fierce and intense. I focused them on the ice encasing the beast, and soon, it began to lt away. But just as I was about to free it, the creature, still dormant in its icy prison, suddenly radiated a powerful aura of ice, pushing back against my efforts. It was as if it were challenging , resisting my attempts to free it.
I clenched my fists in irritation. How dare this beast make , the Empress, work so hard?
"Fine," I muttered, my voice dripping with defiance. "Let it be cocky. I can be cocky, too. And I'll co out on top!"
With that, my flas exploded in power, a fierce wave of heat and light that consud the area. The golden fire roared, growing hotter and wilder, until it enveloped the beast completely. The ice lted away entirely, the beast's massive form crashing to the ground, dropping to its knees from the overwhelming heat.
"Agnia?" Suddenly, a low, air-shuddering voice rumbled from the beast. The sound was deep, resonating like the growl of a storm, and it sent a chill through the air. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
"No..."
The beast's aura exploded in an instant, crashing into like a wave of raw, frozen power. But I stood my ground, unshaken, refusing to be moved.
"You're not the Sacred Goddess of Fire... Who are you?" The voice was even more terrifying now, filled with dark, otherworldly authority. The beast's massive form shifted, and as it turned to face , I froze.
What I saw was beyond anything I could have imagined. Its eyes were hollow, empty sockets where there should have been life, as if they had been ripped out and replaced by an abyss of darkness. Yet, despite the emptiness, it stared directly at , its gaze unwavering, like it was challenging to flinch.
What a nightmare fuel. I laughed in my mind.
"?" I replied, my voice cold and unwavering, despite the haunting sight before . "I'm the one who ca to kill you. Nice to et you."
