RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse
chapter-559-1

--AN) Starting next week, this will go back to 5 times a week alongside Kana.--

"Are you ready?" Ishtar asked. A few days passed and now both Destiny City and the Great City of Javanie were floating in the sky.

"Yeah, as long as we are able to generate everything we need." Blake was worried about a few things, like space's harmful radiation, lack of mana, and oxygen.

"We will be fine. With the augmentations that everyone is now wearing, we are able to make our fighting force as strong as a lower god. To be honest, it is frightening that we have accomplished in a short time." They did not have internal augmentations but external ones but melded with the body, forming a symbiotic relationship. This made it so that no operations were needed. But the effects seemed to push the natural strength one would acquire after years of trying to evolve to limits, giving them power beyond their imaginations. However, this did not come in the form of defense but offense.

This meant that they still had mortal bodies. So, any attack that a demi god could not withstand, they would definitely end up dying, too. It was the trade-off that they had to make with so little time to prepare. Blake did not want to wait too long. The more power they had, the quicker they could defeat their enemies. They just had to make up for their defense with magic and hope it would give them enough time to defeat their foes.

"Alright, then, let's do it. Let's move to outer…." Blake's eyes narrowed as he looked off into the distance. Ishtar flew to stand in front of him.

"Blake, I will block them. Get the cities into space." Ishtar knew that the one coming was very powerful. She had no idea who it was, but she might not even be able to beat them unscathed.

"No. It's only one, and they do not have any killing intent. We will first see what they want. If they try to attack, we can always move then." Blake did not want to leave Ishtar behind. As her husband, he could not do it.

"Oh? To think there were two cities hiding so high in the sky!" A female voice rang out. Her eyes seemed to glow with excitement.

Blake could see that Ishtar was about to attack, so he quickly pulled her back and flew up into the air to greet the person. "You are one of the devils that came through the gate?"

"That I am." The female devil replied with a smile. She looked at the man in front of her and raised an eyebrow. He was much more handsome than any of the devils she knew! She looked around and saw that right now, she seemed to be enemy number one. She could sense quite a few strong presences here. "Can you tell them to lower their weapons? I am not here to attack. I am just looking around this new world."

"The world you kind so thoughtfully invaded?" Blake asked with a mocking chuckle. "Your kind came and enslaved the people of this world, and you want us to lower our guard?"

The female devil scratched her head. She knew she could not retort. It was true they did start taking over once they arrived. "We devils have always been a warring race, which was why the gods locked us into the underworld. If not for my father creating the gate to the underworld that could be summoned from the outside, we would never have been able to escape from that domain. But ever since I came here, I realized something."

Blake raised an eyebrow. He couldn't help but ask: "What did you realize?"

"That everything was the same. It was all boring. There was no point in even leaving the underworld if we were just going to keep doing the same old thing. My kind kill for pleasure and destroy the world around them but for what reason? You know…. I watched a green lushes landscape turn black overnight. I know we have always been building up the strongest and most sinister beings so we can take revenge on the gods, but this world….. This world is not even part of the gods' domain. There was no reason to destroy the beauty it once held. And that was when I realized things were boring….." The female devil replied. She truly did not like the current state of things. It was just as it was in the underworld, and nothing different.

"So, what do you plan to do?" Blake asked. He could feel Ishtar growing impatient.

"I want to ask you, if you were to invade a land, what would you do?" The female devil had a flash of expectation in her eyes when she looked at Blake, hoping he would say something more interesting than what she was used to.

Blake thought for a moment and said: "Well first, I would not enslave the people but only those who are powerful. Force those powerful beings to be my forces and use them against an even more powerful enemy. Those who have no part in the war are innocent, so there is no need to enslave them and destroy their homes. No matter what, the innocent are innocent. Killing them will only make you seem oppressive and lose the trust of your people."

"I see… for us devils, it has always been the one with the most power rules over all, and can do all. We have always lived by strength was the law. If you are weak, you will die. That is how it is. Your way of thinking makes it so that the people have a say in their everyday lives, with laws that are unbreakable or, when broken, are served with punishment?" The female devil asked curiosually.

"You can say that. When people have free will to think, even if they are weak, they can come up with amazing things. Look at us. If you had come here with the intention of attacking us, we would have attacked you with those amazing things. Do not look down on those who have the free will to think and act on their own. These are the kinds of people your race should fear the most. The rule of the law of the jungle is that not everyone always stays at the top. Eventually, they will be pulled down off their thrones and killed without mercy. This is especially true for those who rule through fear. As the saying goes, even a cornered rabbit can turn into a lion when it is cornered."
