Chapter 230
230~ Cat Ears? Cat Tail!?
From the very beginning, she hadn't discovered anything particularly wrong. But after repeatedly detecting someone secretly tailing her and the little Princess, she began eliminating suspects one by one, ultimately locking onto the General of this army as the target.
She could be certain that if it were the original General, he absolutely couldn't have dodged that first strike of hers. And if he couldn't dodge, "Blazing Dominator" also wouldn't have caused the slightest harm, because it had been designed by her to seem very destructive but actually be a complete paper tiger.
It could be said that even if struck, one would only feel somewhat hot and wouldn't truly be harmed.
Now it seemed her judgment was correct. The General was no longer the original General. She also wasn't certain exactly when he'd been swapped, or whether he'd already infiltrated from the very beginning in Scarlet Phoenix Nation.
"Your Majesty the Empress, are you certain you want to fight me regardless of Her Highness Mo's danger?"
The Empress didn't speak. She only waited until the surrounding temperature had dropped to close to absolute zero, then once again condensed massive magic power to release magic.
"Absolute Zero: Judgment!"
In an instant, several super-large ice greatswords composed of magic power hung suspended in mid-air. The ice greatswords whose height far exceeded the clouds rapidly plummeted toward the General as the Empress waved her hand.
The already frozen space around him prevented him from moving to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the giant swords fell, crushing his body.
Boom!
As several giant swords struck the ground, the dust they kicked up covered the entire military camp.
Before the numerous soldiers could react to what was happening, this battle had already ended. The outcome was obvious. She, as the Empress of Scarlet Phoenix Nation, had won.
Although that strike just now hadn't managed to obliterate this imposter, judging by this recovery speed, she could handle him however she wanted.
However, since he hadn't died, and her anger had also subsided a bit, she might as well temporarily restrain him first to ask some questions. It was also time for her to learn about the so-called world of deities.
Up to now, she'd already come into contact with three deities: one was Xuan, a deity of unknown origins inside the little Princess's body; one was the Deity of Abundance, Midilayo, of the Western Region's Midias Empire; and one was the deity of unknown origins and name who currently had the entire Glaze City sealed up.
She'd never contacted deities before. At least before and after she ascended as Empress of Scarlet Phoenix Nation, before meeting the little Princess, she'd only had some understanding of the concept of deities.
There were very few deities on the Eastern Region's side. Even though she knew this world still had the existence of deities, she'd never truly contacted them.
Sure enough, Mo was special, right?
Returning to reality, the Empress used ice to create a container, then manipulated magic power to gather up the imposter General who'd been smashed into minced meat.
"We pay respects to Your Majesty!"
Although they didn't know why Her Majesty the Empress would appear here, this commotion and these signature giant ice swords meant the person before them was undoubtedly their Empress!
"Rise. In the army, giving me a military salute is sufficient."
"Yes!"
After resolving the mess, she then withdrew the magic power from these several giant ice swords. The solid ice that had lost magic power reinforcement finally couldn't withstand the weight. Like dead wood crumbling, it shattered into irregular blocks of ordinary solid ice, heavily crashing to the ground.
She should go back and see Mo. Hopefully, Mo hadn't been awakened by the commotion just now.
Although she'd long ago set up a barrier in the tent where the little Princess was to isolate outside noise, the strike she'd just released was a complete, full-force strike of a Great Archmage, the kind without any reservations. The commotion was large enough that it could still be clearly heard and seen dozens of kilometers away.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't."
"...Yes!"
With one look from the Empress, several soldiers immediately closed their mouths. They didn't want to be crushed like that lump of slowly wriggling minced meat in the Empress's hand. They didn't have this level of recovery ability.
"Watch over him. After he recovers half a body, come notify me."
"Yes!"
Not daring to ask more, after taking that plate of minced meat from the Empress's hand, several soldiers immediately left, afraid the Empress would turn them into this lump of minced meat the next second.
However, they were also very curious about who this person was who still hadn't lost vital signs after receiving the Empress's full-force strike, even after being crushed into a lump of minced meat.
…
"Huff..."
Using magic to clean the bloodstains from her body, the Empress pulled open the tent's curtain. The little Princess had already propped up half her body, and on her head... had grown...?
"Mo?"
"Wh-what!?"
The little Princess, startled by the Empress, hurriedly released the tail in her hand, rolled up the blanket to clamp it between her legs, and held it in front of herself.
"What's going on!?"
"Mm..."
How would she know what was going on!? Upon waking up, these things had just grown on top of her head and on her butt... This was truly too absurd!
The parts that should only appear on cats, cat ears, cat tail, and sharp little fangs, had all actually grown on her body!
The Empress stood at the entrance, not knowing what to say to comfort the little Princess.
A normal person discovering that animal organs had grown on their body would be shocked for a long time, right? Then they'd feel they were a freak, then be filled with despair about the world, feeling they couldn't go on living.
"Actually... Mo like this is also quite cute."
After holding it in for a long time, the Empress spoke with clumsy comfort.
This was really enough! Adding insult to injury! Who comforts people like this!?
Forcibly suppressing her anger into her stomach, she simply buried her head directly in the blanket and made no more sound.
Her tail gently swept outside, her ears slightly twitched, tears welling in the corners of her eyes...
"Mo, is this the price of using Divine Force?"
"Mm... It should be."
Aside from this, she couldn't think of any other possibilities. The only thing that could directly fundamentally change human body structure, magic power absolutely couldn't possibly achieve this degree.
Whether the tail or the ears, they were completely exactly like they'd originally been there all along, so much so that at first she hadn't even noticed where any problems were. She'd only discovered it when she took the mirror at the bedside to look.
"So... Eek! What are you doing!?"
"Sorry, I was a bit curious, so I touched it."
The Empress withdrew her hand. The feel was really quite nice, fluffy and especially smooth.
"Mm..."
Rarely seen, this hentai Empress had actually apologized to her!?
If she hadn't pinched herself after discovering she'd grown cat ears and a cat tail, she'd have thought she was still living in a dream.
Today's Empress was nine parts out of ten abnormal!
At least in her understanding, the number of times the Empress had apologized to her could be counted on one finger!
