Arpious of the Planes
Chapter 296 Growing Five Empires (1)

"I-I will report as your royalty wishes,"

"Also, tell Kolora to come here once she has some free time. I need to make sure she gets the fucking idea through her fucking thick skull… Geez, so annoying," I mutter before sending him off with a wave of my hand.

It's only been a few days, so the empires are in a very primordial state that will only grow from here.

I combined the surrounding kingdoms forcefully and planted two emperors and empresses in each, so there is a bit of a head start… but gaining the empire's trust will be hard.

"Mother, I have come," Hades says, walking into the throne room.

"Oh, what are you here for?"

"I was wondering when I'll be able to rise to the throne,"

"You'll rise to the throne once I feel the plane is steady. Right now, there is so much conflict, and since you are so inexperienced, my work will just go to shit,"

"I'm sorry for asking,"

I stare into my son's eyes, making him a bit nervous, but I just sigh before cheering him up.

"Keep studying what the maids have brought you. Once you have passed all their tests, I'll maybe allow you to rise to the throne a bit earlier than I expected,"

"Really?"

"Of course,"

"Thank you!" He shouts before running over to me and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

He then quickly left the throne room before the next guest entered.

"I greet the ruler amongst rulers," A woman says as she enters the room, but I smile as I notice her familiarity.

"Mia, it's good to see you,"

"I am honored to be able to lay my eyes on you once again," She responds with a smile.

"You have done a great job with maintaining my kingdom, and now you have work to do amongst multiple empires,"

"You are correct… but I have hired a few assistants that have helped me greatly," She replies with a humble bow.

"Well, what are you here for?"

"I am here to say that all of the corpses that you have selected have been finally moved here. You may feast on them as you wish,"

"Oh, nice… Maids, send the remaining guests back to their quarters. I'm going to go feast and power up," I ordered my maids, who quickly followed my directions.

But, a few of the guests had been waiting for a few days, so they tried to force an audience with me as I left the throne room.

"I BEG OF YOU YOUR ROYALTY! OUR ENTIRE EMPIRE IS SUFFERING BECAUSE WE HAVE NO BIG SOURCE OF INCOME!" One of the guests shout.

"*sigh*... You're from the Empire of the Sun, right?"

"Yes! Your royalty is correct,"

"Then you do know you have lots of farmland, right? Every inch of that place is fertile with rich and nutritious soil… So you better use that and trade," I comment before walking off, pissed at how stupid they were.

It was clearly pride holding them back from trading with other empires, but I guess it was also part of my responsibility.

"Maids, gather all the emperors. I want to have a talk with them,"

"As you wish," All my loyal servants respond.

"And I guess I'll agree to this as well,"

[Would you like to become the new Plane Guardian?]

Yes…

Suddenly, I teleported out of the throne room, and I reappeared in the black abyss once again.

A giant pink koi fish appeared in front of me.

Each twitch of its muscle was graceful.

"So you are the one who blessed Mia, right?"

"Indeed,"

It was the soft voice of a young man who almost seemed like he'd never screamed once in his entire life.

"Then, I'll be taking your position,"

"We were so close to killing you,"

"Yep, and you lost,"

"Well, we did kill you, but you somehow managed to come back to life which I think is a bit of a cheat, but I can't help it, can I?"

"Yep," I respond before summoning my scythe into my hand and slicing upwards.

The koi fish was cut in half and a new notification popped up in front of me.

I wasn't surprised at all these events because my inner demon had already informed me of everything that I needed to know, such as killing the plane guardian.

[You have become the plane gaurdian]

.

The abyss around me slowly unbloomed like a flower in spring.

My maids were the first sight that I saw, and they quickly all kneeled on one knee, lowering their heads as far as possible.

"WE GREET THE NEW RULER OF THE PLANE!"

[Please name your plane]

"The Plane of Twilight," I mutter.

[The Plane of Twilight is under your control]

A wide smile slowly grew on my face as I felt my body brim with power.

It was intoxicating having this much power, and I would definitely abuse it to get what I wanted…

"This is nice… Bring the guests back. I'm in a good mood," I muttered before continuing with my day.

(Aika POV)

"*sigh*... Is the potion almost done?" I ask the alchemist before me.

Kumo stood next to me, anticipating the creation of this potion that isn't new but isn't used very much, so the recipe took a while to replace.

We should be working especially since we are ruling over multiple empires now, but we are now focusing on our own pleasure.

"Well, you know what, Arpious hasn't done any hard work since the creation of the kingdom, so now she has to actually try it out… We get to sit back and relax finally, so have no shame," Kumo says, her smile only growing wider with the alchemist pouring a green liquid into four small glass tubes.

"It is done… and the payment?"

"Yes, it will arrive soon,"

We soon leave the small building and walk through the rapidly expanding streets bustling with intelligent monsters.

It was late at night, and all of us who are married to Arpious all had a little meeting while holding the small green potions in our hands.

"Can I get a beer?" I ask the server.

"O-of course," He stutters.

"Anyway, so this will really let us… do it?"

"Yep, but she won't get pregnant,"

"I'm so excited I can actually feel my heart trying to beat out of my chest,"

"I'm glad you all are excited, but make sure we get permission. Well, we'll drink it and then reveal it and then ask if she wants to do it,"

Everybody nods their heads in agreement.
