This World Is Mine, and No One Can Take It Away
The Dragon Empire, its capital.
Inside Her Majesty the Queen's palace, there is a swimming pool sculpted from jade.
The pool water was crystal clear, like a giant mirror, reflecting the surrounding magnificent buildings.
Sunlight spilled onto the water's surface, creating golden ripples that added a mysterious and dreamlike atmosphere to the entire pool.
The water also has a faint, refreshing fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.
This swimming pool seems to possess a magical power, capable of washing away people's fatigue and worries.
At this moment, Her Majesty Queen Nefertari Vivi Dragon was in the pool, accompanied by a blonde, blue-eyed beauty.
Hannah Tarashuk died in her early thirties, but due to her special status as God's Chosen, her physical condition was far superior to that of her peers, and she looked as youthful and beautiful as a girl in her early twenties.
After becoming the Corrupted God's Chosen, Hannah Tarashuk became increasingly beautiful as her power increased.
At this moment, she appeared even more charming and alluring, every smile and frown exuding a captivating allure.
Nefertari Vivi was lounging in the pool, the warm sunlight shining on her silky long hair, making it shimmer with a captivating luster.
She floated leisurely in the pool, as beautiful and charming as a blooming water lily.
Hannah Taraschuk was beside her, and they nestled together.
"Hannah! Let me hug you a little longer, you smell so good!"
No one knew that Her Majesty Empress Nefertari Vivi was not interested in men.
She likes pretty girls.
Her hands skillfully slid up and down Hannah Taraschuk's body, a look of infatuation appearing on her delicate face.
The hand gesture caused ripples to spread across the pool water, creating numerous waves.
Hannah Taraschuk's face remained expressionless; as the Corrupted God's Chosen, she was absolutely loyal to Nefertari Vivi Dragon.
However, while there was no resistance, there was also no cooperation.
"How boring! Hannah Taraschuk, you're so wooden, it's really a downer!"
Nefertari Vivi. Dragon had no choice but to abandon her original move.
As she spoke, Nefertari Vivi. Dragon stood up from the bath, stepped out of the tub, picked up a towel, and gently dried herself.
Water droplets slid down her smooth skin as Nefertari Vivi walked to the mirror and gazed at her reflection.
"How beautiful! This body!"
The Corruption Goddess is corrupted by the power of corruption, making her extremely ugly in appearance. Although she is called a goddess, she is actually a terrifying monster.
The beautiful face she now possesses is a completely unfamiliar experience to her.
Years ago, she could have entered the Northlands and merged with the Corruption Mists, moving on to the next phase of her plan to conquer this plane.
But because she couldn't bear to part with this beautiful body.
She kept putting it off, and it's been dragging on until now.
The desire for beauty is universal, let alone that of deities.
She didn't know what beauty was before, so naturally she didn't care.
However, her decades of experience as Nefertari Vivi Long gave her some unexpected ideas that affected her execution of her plans.
"Speaking of which... Hannah Tarashuk, you have quite a fine son!"
News came from Tulip Count that Hannah Taraschuk's son, Wang Zizhen, was not only alive but was also making rapid progress in the Northlands.
In just a few months, the population of the territory was increased to hundreds of thousands.
The territory level has also been raised to Tier 4.
This ability is simply unbelievable; even the young Lion Count could not match it.
Nefertari Vivi. Dragon has indeed developed a bit of an appreciation for talent.
She is the incarnation of the Corruption Goddess.
However, she is also Her Majesty the Empress of the Dragon Empire.
Her many years in power have long since blurred her sense of identity.
If it were decades ago, when she first contacted the Corruption Goddess, she would have chosen to destroy the Dragon Empire without hesitation to complete her main body's plan.
But now, she hesitates.
It's not that I want to betray my true self.
I just don't want to destroy this dimension so soon.
Even if it means destroying this entire world, she hopes to leave the Dragon Empire to be the last one standing.
"This Wang Zizhen is not my son. He is not related to me by blood, and he is even less so by spirit!"
Hannah Taraschuk spoke in a robotic voice.
The moment Hannah Tarashuk became the Corrupted God's Chosen, everything within her was completely transformed.
"Alright, alright, but this Wang Zizhen is actually quite interesting."
Nefertari Vivi. Long took out the information about Wang Zizhen that Tulip Count had handed her from the table beside her.
From these letters, Nefertari Vivi Dragon learned that this Wang Zizhen had received the protection of an ancient deity known as the Ork God, Waaaaagh.
This granted them a special power that could strengthen the physique of their subjects and, to some extent, suppress the erosion of the Corruption Mists.
The Blackwater Fief of today is completely different from what it used to be, and has even reverted to its former appearance before the Corruption Mists descended.
"And this kid seems quite ambitious..."
Taking advantage of the Blackwater Fief's geographical location, Chen Changhe expanded the scale of several cities within the territory.
Furthermore, it is transforming from a purely defensive territory into a commercial territory.
Its main businesses include the slave trade, arms trade, wine trade, and the trade of Ork Miracle Perfume.
Of course, he didn't open up all of his territory.
Instead, Black Snake City, which is closest to the edge of the territory, was opened as a free trade city.
If we take the route through Bull Fief.
The journey from inside the Imperium to Black Snake City is two days shorter than the journey to Miracle City.
Many merchants and pioneering lords of the Northlands have already chosen to trade through Black Snake City.
As a result, Miracle City's transaction volume has decreased by about 10% in recent months.
Having ambition is not a bad thing.
Nefertari Vivi smiled slightly.
As the behind-the-scenes owner of Miracle City, she can obtain a large amount of wealth from the city every year.
But these things meant nothing to her.
The advancement of Corrupted God's Chosen requires massive killings and blood sacrifices.
In recent years, the Northlands region has expanded its territory significantly.
However, none of these territories developed to a particularly powerful level.
The effect of using the Corruption Godstone to dispel the Corruption Divine Power is ultimately limited.
The vast majority of those who expanded their territories were merely minor nobles, lacking the strength and resources to develop a large city.
The Miracle City exists solely as a sacrifice.
When the time is right, she will have Hannah Tarashuk kill all living beings in Miracle City and advance to become a tenth-order God's Chosen.
The tenth-tier God's Chosen corresponds to Hero Unit with Lesser Divine Power.
Even for the player themselves, Hero Unit of this strength are invaluable.
However, with the appearance of Chen Changhe...
She has a better option.
From beginning to end, Nefertari Vivi Ryu never thought she could be defeated by Chen Changhe.
The entire Northlands were shrouded in Corruption Mists, which meant that everything about Chen Changhe was within her divine fog-like avatar.
Even if Chen Changhe had used some underhanded tactics, she was able to subdue him immediately.
As for the loss of Divine Power she had previously sensed, Nefertari Vivi Dragon completely regarded it as a natural phenomenon of consumption caused by excessive Divine Power, and no longer took it to heart.
"This world is mine, and no one can take it away from me!"
"Neferutari Vivi," Dragon said with absolute certainty.
