Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 287: Power increase across the Secret Realm.

******************************************************

Author Note: So, I've been reading comments, and I can tell that many of you are against her taking the Trial. However, take it like this.

This is not only a chance to become stronger; it is a chance to gain what she lacks. Experience.

Yasenia is extremely young, and if she can remain many years inside, it will be a boost she won't be able to gain in any other way. Time is something hard to acquire extra off since it runs equality for everybody, unlike Treasures and other things.

For those that fear this event creating needless drama or misunderstandings, I hate those things, so don't worry. Unless it is according to the girls' personalities, things like that won't happen.

I also want to remind you of Tatyana's sentence. "What I care about is the heart, not the body."

On the other side, remember, the Trial is not real. It is similar to a lucid dream. So Yasenia is honestly being guided by the Old Man to believe that she will be cheating if she accepts the Trial. He is tricking her and testing her beliefs, the same way he did with Cecile. You've seen it in many instances during their conversation.

Finally, you won't actually read about it. The Next chapter will fast forward to the day Yasenia leaves the trial. However, I'm keeping to myself how much time she spends inside~. You will have to read the next chapter to learn about it!

So yeah, although I wanted to leave it to discussion, I saw many of you not getting the gist of it, and decided to clarify. That's all I had to say. Enjoy the chapter~. ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

Yasenia looked at him calmly and didn't deny it, "Yes, I am. I'm selfish and a hypocrite. Even if I need to release my lust, I could do it in other ways. Masturbation is always an option, and visiting a brothel in punctual moments when masturbation doesn't work anymore is also an option. There would be zero emotional attachment, and although I would have intercourse with others, it would mean much less since they are one-time interactions."

Yasenia sighed, "Still, I rather choose the happy group route. That way, I will be able to use all my cards and have my feelings diluted between them enough that I won't feel love for any of them besides some affection and closeness. My bottom line is betraying Mom's trust. She has suffered enough for even her daughter to betray her expectations."

The old man put his hands on his back and commented, "That is cruel for those women you will trap in your honey trap. They will be used like tools for your selfish wish of finishing this War as fast as possible."

Yasenia lifted an eyebrow, "But they are not real. We are inside a trial. Therefore, they won't know they are being used as I will remain by their side until I manage to win this War, and I will disappear once the Trial ends. Although I'm using them, they will never know. Moreover, winning the War should also be in their interests."

The old man looked at Yasenia with interest in his ancient eyes. "You are very strange. You know that it is clearly wrong, but you will do it anyway. Why don't you choose your first option? What stops you from making that decision?"

Yasenia smirked, "What better place to do that experiment than inside a Trial that will disappear after I complete it? With women that do not even exist? Once I leave here, I won't try it on real people. Even under the guise of testing, if I did something like this outside, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. Moreover, as I have repeatedly pointed out, this is a Trial, a place created with techniques I don't understand, but it certainly is a place that doesn't exist."

The old man got thoughtful and caressed his beard. "Interesting. How about a small innocent help?"

Then, he waved his long white sleeve, and the surroundings changed.

Yasenia's military tent became bigger. There was enough space to hold another six people comfortably.

Then, six bodies formed beside Yasenia.

The dragoness observed, with her expression changing by the second.

Slowly but surely, six familiar people appeared before her, all of them wearing the same military armor as the people outside.

They were Kali, Angel, Andrea, Cecile, Evelyn, and Tatyana.

Yasenia's golden-red slit eyes moved across them, not finding a single imperfection. They looked exactly the same as the real them. Her eyes became deeper as she looked at them with a profound look.

The old man observed that there weren't any ripples in Yasenia's eyes.

There was one simple reason for this; they weren't her real dears.

She turned her head toward the old man, and she asked with a calm voice, "What are you doing?"

He lifted his white eyebrow and said, "Giving you a small helping hand."

"This is your helping hand? Why would you even try to help me?" Yasenia asked with an unreadable face.

"Wouldn't you feel better doing it with someone that appears like them? This way, you are not really betraying them, right?" Said the old man.

Yasenia looked at the six of them for a second. Then, she took out her sword and slashed the six people in half with a single motion, surprising the old man again.

Yasenia saw and felt as her sword sunk into each of them, destroying their bodies with her tyrannical strength. However, her golden slit eyes were unpassive as she looked at her sword killing her six "lovers."

The six copies burst into a gory shower of blood in front of Yasenia's strength, creating quite a mess inside the tent. Yasenia spun her giant sword once and made blood splatter on the ground in a crescent Moon shape.

Then, she kept it inside her ring again.

She turned toward him, and she said, the dragoness's voice indifferent. "Their appearance doesn't matter. They are not them, so even if they are identical copies, they are still copies. I don't need substitutes. I will challenge the Trial as I planned, and that's it."

Yasenia saw that the old man wanted to speak again, so she interrupted, "Those six identical copies and six random women in the streets are not different. They are not my dears. I will be betraying them either way. Accepting your offer would only make it worse. Not only would I betray them, but I would also be doing it with people who looked like them."

Yasenia's voice was flat as she said, "If I accepted your offer, doesn't that mean that my treasures, those I pamper with my very soul, are replaceable fuck-dolls? Don't do that again. They are more important than my heart, and there only exists one of each."

He gave Yasenia a look and decided not to speak anymore. With a wave of his sleeve, his body disappeared, cleaning the mess in the surroundings. contemporary romance

However, the tent didn't change, and six women Yasenia had never seen before appeared in their steed.

After that, the Trial World began moving again.

Yasenia felt somewhat heavy, so she looked down and saw full body armor covering her. It fit snuggly with her voluptuous curves, so she was happy with it. Yasenia looked at those six and took a deep breath. Then, she breathed out and said, "Let's do this!"

Outside the Trial and far away from the town, on a volcano filled with dense magma, fire, darkness, death, and earth attribute, a blad muscular man was being bathed by the elements. He was wielding a two-handed hammer with one arm; on the other arm, a Transcendent Ranked shield glowed with an imposing aura.

Behind him, five pairs of fleshy black wings spread magnificently. His aura was unlike any other cultivator Yasenia had seen in her generation. The demonic energies around him made other demons look like undeveloped creatures.

He released his aura, creating a big explosion of energy and flattening almost a hundred meters around him. His strength was clearly inside the Unification Realm.

"Finally, my Demon Blood awakened. In a week or so, I would stabilize my foundation. Then, I suppose I should target the two biggest targets, Isla and Yasenia."

He looked behind him at the mouth of the active Volcano and dove inside it. "Will they be easy prey? Or fall like ants before me?"

On a completely opposite environment, an island surrounded by white corals and rocks, a blonde woman with grey eyes sat crossed-legged. Compared to the terrific Demonic aura the previous person released, her aura was as big, but it had a divine feeling.

Her water, light, ice, and space elements orbited around her, creating multiple events. Behind her, five pairs of pure white Feathered wings gave her a holy aura. Her body and face had reached absolute perfection, to the point that it would only arouse feelings of awe. She smiled and said, "My Divine Bloodline has completely developed. I won't lose to anyone with this."

Then, she looked thoughtful for a second and asked aloud, "How much has she improved? Will it be as easy of a win the next time we meet?" Her tone carried arrogance that previously didn't exist, clearly influenced by her enormous jump in strength.

At the same time, a handsome silver-haired man was absorbing a red crystal inside a bloody cave. The dry corpses of ten men and women surrounded him in a strange and macabre formation. Above him, black clouds of Heavenly Tribulation began gathering.

The crystal broke into pieces and entered his body. His aura increased continuously, creating pulses of energy. It grew unnaturally fast, basically reaching the previous two in strength.

He stopped absorbing the energy of the red crystal and looked up, and smiled. His smile twisted with vengeance and hatred. "Finally, I'm entering the Unification Realm. Yasenia, your end is near. Once we meet again, you will have no chance of escaping. For my family, for my sister's safety, you have to become a plaything for the Demons!"

A short and cute woman was running around, gathering some treasures she had found inside a cave. She was alone, and her strength was incomparable to the others before her. She looked at her surroundings and frowned, "I have to find Andrea. With the oath binding us, she will have to listen to me. I heard she has become stronger after getting with that dragoness."

She frowned and sneered, "To be able to like a deformed woman, that dragoness sure has a wide heart. Since she likes women, I can't understand why she doesn't despise Andrea. To think she has everyone deceived, not letting them know that she has that thing between her legs... Ugh, disgusting."

She went outside the cave, appearing in a volcanic area, and sighed, "Anyway, I heard some kind of doors inside a Volcano open. I should go there. But I also have to find that thing soon so she can gather treasures for me. Useless thing, so hard to find." After that, she went toward the gates inside the Volcano.

Meanwhile, a tall, tanned, armored woman was advancing through the passages inside a massive black structure. Beside her, an injured lobster with a shell walked carefully. "Ebirah, be careful when I fight later. You were hurt because some stranded attack hit you!"

The lobster protested with an arrogant tone, "Be careful!? You are supposed to be guarding this princess! I'm guiding you toward a super-powerful treasure. What less should I expect!"

The tall woman laughed nervously, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Didn't I tell you a simple thing to do? Why did you snap again?"

Ebirah made a human-like humph sound, something Andrea still didn't understand how she made, and she said. "You are just making excuses! Look at my beautiful pincer! After I blocked that stray attack, it was completely cracked! I will need a week of massages and good food to heal this-! Oh!!!"

Andrea was startled by her sudden shout and prepared for combat. However, the princess lobster exclaimed, "Below us! It is below us! Make a hole, Andrea! Punch through with your brute strength!"

Andrea began sweating, "You want me to punch a hole through a one-hundred-meter-deep floor? Aren't you asking for too much?"

Ebirah snorted, baffling Andrea again, "Then, let's go through that way!"

Andrea shook her head and followed her orders. It seems that our heroic and beautiful Andrea liked to pamper her girls. She thought amusedly, 'My little companion sure has a temper. As expected of a pampered princess, hahaha.' Andrea didn't feel bad about her attitude. She thought that she was interesting.

In another different place, inside a lightning altar at the top of a mountain surrounded by constant electrical storms, a blue-haired woman was gritting her teeth enough to make her mouth bleed. Thunder fell continuously on her, and a lightning dome isolated her wolf companion. "Fuck me! Why is receiving this cultivation method so dangerous!? I will die!"

The wolf shouted, "Hold on, Evelyn! Only two more hours, and this will be over! Remember that you will probably advance into the Unification Realm after you absorb the treasure below the mountain."

Evelyn wanted to answer, but a lightning bolt as thick as herself slammed into her, creating harsh burns on her skin. "Ah!" A shout of pain escaped her mouth, but her violet eyes remained determined. "Don't underestimate me!"

*RUMBLE!*

White electrical currents coursed around Evelyn, battling the storm falling on her. "We've only just begun, altar!"

Far away from the mountain, a closed cave with a one-kilometer-wide glittering lake inside existed. A small vortex could be discerned in the middle, disturbing the peace it normally had.

A platinum-silver-haired naked woman sat cross-legged in the middle of the lake. The water didn't affect her, and her two big silver wings were neatly folded behind her back. The energy rushing inside her was tremendous, and her cultivation increased by leaps and bounds every second.

Her eyes were closed as she felt her whole body changing on a basic level. She was transforming into a complete phoenix as if her parents had been two phoenixes.

That wasn't all. Above her head, a thunderous storm was gathering.

This peerlessly beautiful Moon Phoenix that looked like a lone Goddess bathing was about to enter the Unification Realm.

Far away from her, inside a paradise-like place, a fox woman and a three-meter-tall woman sat in the middle of a lake. What was different was that they were sitting above the water.

Surrounding them, many types of plant creatures encircled them. Moreover, the aura the tall woman gave was incomparable to the past.

The fox-woman sat in a trance above the water and absorbed the natural energies that rushed toward them. The three-meter-tall light-green woman opened her eyes, deep and surreal wisdom shining in them. She looked at her mistress and smiled gently as a mother watching her child grow. "Sorry for not being able to take care of you properly, child. Don't worry; now that I've awakened, no one shall bring you harm."

However, the same as nature, her gentleness hid a deep and powerful wrath. "Those that dare will have to suffer this eminence's wrath."
