Overlord Empress - Chapter 103 SINGLE STRIKE TO WARN OTHERS

Shadow Order is one of the famous and oldest organisation under creation. It is run by a group of Money minded merchants from various clans, With the passage of time they are jointly called as Shadow clans. They are involved in all types of businesses and have branches on all the known worlds. They are known for their honesty, quality of products and efficiency at delivering goods to the clients.

But they are more famous for one of their business, information brokerage. The Shadow Order believes information is power and used their various business branches to spread their information and spy network. They also spent large resources to explore famous ruins and personally investigated the truth behind the folklore of various ancient cultivators of the past. As long as you pay sufficient amount to them, you can obtain any information you desire. Their reputation reached such heights that, if they can’t find any information, then no other organisation or family can’t find this information.

But just a few seconds minutes ago, almost all the branches of Shadow Order, including their headquarters were hit by almost all the sovereign ruler representatives. But what puzzled the Shadow Order is, all of these representatives made the same request, to find any and all information about Uchiha clan. They even paid large sum in advance and promised even more if the information regarding Uchiha clan is more detailed.

This is the first time in Shadow Order history they are listening about Uchiha clan’s name. They are completely clueless about this clan, but they don’t want to give this up, as they could clearly smell money here. They would have turned down the offer if it was a single ruler representative, but they received the same request from others too. It only means something major is happening with this Unknown Uchiha clan.

After getting few copies of Ichika in front of the palace, from these representatives for reference, they transferred the details to their headquarters, to see if they can find any clues in their databanks.

But all of their efforts turned futile, it is at this time one of the elders noticed the sculptures on the copies. When he looked carefully he almost fainted after he realized Gundahar and E’Lara. But he was more interested in the 3rd figure. He quickly used his authority to open the forbidden archives of the Shadow Order. The elder’s actions puzzled the other members of the Shadow Order and they informed few other elders.

Immediately almost all the elders and supreme elders arrived at the forbidden archives area, as they clearly know how valuable the information in forbidden archives is. If the other elder, don’t give them a proper reason, then he will be punished severely for breaking into the forbidden archives.

Just as they were moving towards the deeper parts of the archives, they heard a loud maniacal laughter of the elder, as if he won a lottery. When the Supreme Elder questioned the Elder, he just tossed the copies of Ichika and few jade slips at him.

Supreme Elder was puzzled at first, but after looking at the copies carefully and going through the historical data in the jade slips, he also started to laugh out loud. The historical data is nothing but the exploits of Emperor Manu, which they excavated in ancient ruins on close to 600 paragon state worlds and 7 sovereign state worlds. To this day, this is the biggest discovery of Shadow Order as they can tell various civilizations on different worlds worshipped this Emperor Manu. They are sure, there are more ruins of Emperor Manu on other sovereign state worlds, but sadly they were occupied by powerful monsters now. Now this data is perfectly matching with the sculptures on the surrounding walls of the palace. Given the detailed description on the walls, the Supreme Elder is sure, that this Empress Ichika is definitely related to Emperor Manu.

They spent a lot of resources during the excavation of these ancient ruins, but they still continued because they became more interested in the stories of Emperor Manu. From these ruins, they could clearly tell that this Emperor Manu is the very first recognized sovereign ruler with numerous worlds and followers under him.

Now, if they play their cards right, they could earn 100 times the amount, they spent on these ancient ruins. But to increase their chances, they need to know few more things about this Empress Ichika, especially her relationship with Emperor Manu, Gundahar and E’lara virtris. Just her connection to Gundahar and E’lara Virtris is enough to send ripples throughout the cultivation worlds, by chance if she is also connected to Emperor Manu, then this Uchiha family will be the Prime Family of all. Just imagining it caused the Supreme Elder to sweat bullets, as he can’t help but feel war looming around.

He personally decided to visit this backwater world before confirming his assumptions. If he was lucky and his assumptions are correct, then he will make sure to forge good relations with this Uchiha family. As soon as he made the decision, he along with a large number of Elders started moving towards Monster world.

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

Monster World Eden.

As soon as Ichika and the others arrived in front of the palace, the gates opened wide, while 4000 Sovereign soldiers stepped out dressed in red armor. Following them the palace doors were also completely opened wide, with 5 open carriages coming out.

The carriages are the same type Ichika used when entering vanguard Zone, but instead of Mearas Horses, they are pulled by unicorns in 8*8 formation. These unicorns are the subordinates of Aelian, E’lara Mount.

Fugaku, Mikoto, Haru, Sasuke and Naruto are in the first carriage, Emperor Manu, Gundahar, E’lara and Kaguya, who covered her face with veil are in second carriage, Sakura, Izumi, Kanna, Sarada are in third carriage, while the 3 Uchiha followers are  in the last 5th one. The 4th carriage was empty for the moment.

As soon as the Uchiha’s appeared, they were immediately assaulted by millions of soul scans. Fugaku and the others were already covered in various talismans to hide their strength and to protect themselves from the spiritual pressure of high level cultivators. It took them some time to get adjusted to high spiritual pressure, but after personally spending few days in the presence of the 3 Avatars, they felt all of these soul scans are pretty weak compared to the 3 Avatars. So they completely ignored it.

But Ichika was completely infuriated by the rudeness of all these invaders. She already gave them an initial warning by displaying her military strength, even then most of them intruded the borders of her family privacy. Most of these invaders are powerful soldiers and representatives of sovereign rulers, hiding in the void with powerful unique treasures.

After her recent breakthrough, the warnings issued by her teacher about her blood path and the impeding threat of other sovereign rulers towards her and her family, all caused her to become a bit short tempered these days. She clearly knew it is dangerous to bring her family here, but if she can’t move forward while protecting her own family and face these troubles head on, how can she fulfill the expectations of her teacher, to guard the entire chaos world.

If she took a step back, it will become a heart demon for her, unable to progress further. Also if she let these soldiers and representatives do as they please on her own domain, she will lose her advantage when she comes face to face with the actual sovereign rulers. So she decided to punish few, while sending warning to others. She must let them know, who is the actual boss here.

Following her thoughts, Manu rose to sky and used Iai. Iai is a sword technique to unsheath and sheath one’s sword at lightning speed. Normally it is used to surprise attack enemies in close range. But when the same attack was used by Manu, he released numerous slashes, covering all the sides in a split second.

Even before most of them could understand Manu’s motive, all the rude soldiers and representatives who used their soul scan earlier were sliced in two, including their treasures. There wasn’t even a chance for them to escape, before blood dyed the lands.

Much to the shock of the Monster world inhabitants, millions of cultivators started to fall down from the sky, with their bodies sliced apart. A single simple attack took care of so many of them, their eyes can’t help but pop out of their sockets after witnessing this scene.

The same is true with the 3 Elves and other representatives, who were patient to know about Empress Ichika personally later. As rulers, even the 3 elves can’t help but shiver, as the previous attack of Manu was executed using only pure strength and sword laws. There wasn’t a bit of elemental energy used in the attack. Just based on pure strength and sword laws, he is clearly stronger than them. They don’t want to provoke someone like him, before knowing the actual situation of their ancestor.

At the same time, they were glad they didn’t rush forward after seeing their ancestor. They immediately contacted their family elders after spotting E’lara and gave them a brief review of what happened here. They were ordered to get in touch with her, without provoking the Uchiha family, while the Elder Council will also personally arrive on Monster World.

As for the injured soldiers and sovereign ruler representatives, they didn’t receive any life threatening injuries. They can easily recover from this attack in few minutes. But fear could be seen clearly in their eyes.

“I don’t care who you are Or what you are, but it is rude to intrude others privacy. This is my first and final warning, if it is repeated again, your very existence will be erased completely. Also this is my family domain, if you wish to stay on this world, better follow the rules to the final letter.”- Ichika

Just as Ichika finished giving her warning, loud laughter resonated throughout the monster world, While a Lady dressed in Rose coloured robes, with knee length black hair, decked in fine jewels and ornaments appeared in the sky above Eden. As soon as the 3 elven rulers and others saw her, they can’t help but take few steps back, for they don’t want to get involved with this Mad Woman.
