Overlord Empress - Chapter 109 VISITING UNDERWORLD?
The crowd was clearly divided on the opinion of whether to join the army or not, while most of the auxiliary cultivators decided to join the workshops held by the Royal family. If they are clearly Pinnacle level masters, then they have to make use of the 300 years trial period to learn as much as they can and if possible make a good impression on them.
“There will be a welcoming party in the Royal Palace tomorrow. As we are short of time, I openly invite all the Emperors and representatives of various races to this party.”- Ichika
With that finished Ichika and all the Uchiha’s stepped into the palace. Kuro and the 12 clan heads became busy to maintain order, as it a huge task to peacefully dissolve such a huge crowd. As soon as the crowd was dispersed, all the 12 clan heads rushed towards their own family headquarters to drag all the talented people in their clan to be recruited as Soldiers and officials to help Empress Ichika. Since they have another 800 years before the end of the event, they will use this time to give them special education and spend valuable resources to increase their strength and knowledge.
Similarly all the sovereign ruler representatives also left Monster World, to personally describe today’s events in detail to their own masters, while handing control of their forces to their second in command. Most of them also received information that the elders of Shadow Order are personally moving to investigate about the authenticity of Emperor Manu existence.
While the 3 sovereign elves silently retreated to their temporary housing in the city. They will try to approach Empress Ichika and E’lara Virtris in the morning to see whether she is interested to come back. But they are sure she is gonna refuse them, otherwise why would she stay with the Uchiha’s instead of the Virtris. For them it is ok as long as their ancestor is happy, but don’t know what the elders in their family will think after hearing her decision.
Even though the origin Elves are warrior Elves, they only fought to protect their freedom. But there are few war hungry morons in the family, who want to take the opportunity of their family’s strength to expand their influence by occupying other worlds. But they were all suppressed by the Patriarch and the current 3 Rulers, so they will try to rally the family forces by encouraging E’Lara to wage wars. Since she is like a goddess to them, there won’t be any opposition, if she was the one to order them to attack. The 3 Elves only hope that this war faction doesn’t complicate things between the Uchiha and the Virtris families. Also this is an excellent opportunity to bridge relations between both the families using E’Lara as the core.
Like all the other Rulers, they are also interested in the untapped resources of monster worlds and also want to get on the good side of Ichika’s Dwarven Masters. If they can form this alliance, then they can easily negate the influence of all the other rulers, even if they join forces. Because the 3 Elven worlds are always isolated, stay united and refused to take part in killing Arthur King, they already incurred the hate of other Rulers. There were also talks between the Rulers to form an alliance and destroy the 3 Elven worlds. But this idea was always postponed, because they were not able to come to an agreement regarding the spoils of war and they have no idea regarding the complete strength of Virtris family.
But what these 3 Elves don’t know is, their alliance idea might work with Ichika, but they will never get a single favor from the Dwarves, as the 3 dwarves completely hate anyone with pointy ears, Only E’Lara was an exception as they know she is Overlord’s Avatar.
Ichika and the Uchiha’s also arrived in the Royal Palace and moved straight towards her courtyard. She ordered few of the servants to show the 3 Uchiha followers their own courtyard, while she still has something to talk with her family.
“You all have one week to rest and enjoy your time. After that your entire time will be spent in training, cultivating and classes. Especially Zetsu, Shisui, Itachi, Kin, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto and Sarada, as You all have another 800 years to prepare for the event.
It will be a huge embarrassment to our family if you don’t make it to knockout stages after all my bragging, to fasten your cultivation process, we will move your training place to Atala world. With the time difference on Atala world and time chamber, excluding the days you need to be present on monster world,you will have close to 4 trillion years of time to cultivate peacefully. Since you have ample time, all of you will have enough time to strengthen your foundations and basics. I will personally oversee all of your training and completely overhaul your habits and fighting capabilities, So mentally prepare to experience hell.”- Ichika
Zetsu, Shisui, Itachi and Kin already experienced this hell for a brief time, especially the etiquette classes of Sylvia Rose. They all turned towards the other family members, clearly showing pity towards them. But they don’t want to warn them, as it is necessary for them also to experience this hell.
But they are clearly surprised when Ichika mentioned about the event, it was already decided that Shisui, Itachi, Kin, Sasuke and Naruto are the only participants from the Royal family. So why is she involving Sakura and Sarada into the picture?
“Mother it is alright for us to train harder, but why are you involving Sakura and Sarada?”- Kin
“Correction, these training sessions are for all of you, but because of the event, I will be focusing more on you guys. While the remaining ones will stay completely on Atala world and spend their time cultivating.
As for why Sakura and Sarada are involved in this special training, I have my reasons.
Sakura need to manage her own Special Bureau in the future. Just because she is from the Royal family, doesn’t mean all of it’s members will respect her from the bottom of their heart. Only strength reigns supreme in cultivations worlds. But in Sakura case she need to posses both strength and knowledge. She has to increase her strength as a cultivator and knowledge as a doctor.
Once the recruitment for the Bureau starts, many doctors will start applying for the bureau, but they are only low levelled ones. But to actually draw the elites out, the boss of the bureau has to surpass them in all aspects. Of all the auxiliary cultivators doctors and alchemists have the highest pride. So Sakura has to surpass them in both strength and knowledge, otherwise there will be some doctors, who will take this opportunity to make her like a fool in front of others.
As for Sarada, she is safe for now. But the same can’t be said for the future. Though she is announced as a princess with no power, even a fool could tell she will be an important figure of our family in the future. She will be facing a lot of challenges and marriage invitations from the younger generation of other clans and Rulers.
She can back away from one or 2 proposals, but she can’t keep escaping forever, So she need to learn to protect herself. Even though she is a child at the moment, you can’t look back once you step on the path of cultivation. We need to prepare her for all the possibilities. That is why she will study politics and diplomacy from Jean Silverstone, while I will personally train her in other aspects.”- Ichika
Once Ichika finished all of them turned towards Sakura and Sarada. Even though Sakura is a doctor, she was already used to fights, battles and the evil side of humans. So she has no problems in upgrading her abilities further under the guidance of Ichika, as she was already used to her spartan style training.
But Sarada is special, she was born during the time of peace and was pampered by her family members since her birth. But now she is dragged into the middle of a power struggle, where she is like a huge piece of cake for outsiders, who want to forge relations with the Uchiha family using Sarada as a bridge.
As Ichika said earlier, strength reigns supreme on cultivations worlds. As family members and cultivators, they can’t keep spoiling her anymore, She needs to become strong in order to survive amidst the wolves and to also live longer like them.
When Ichika mentioned marriage proposals, Sasuke released all of his killing intent. Initially, the only reason he wanted to become strong is to keep up his family reputation and to fight strong opponents, but now he had another reason to become strong.’Let’s see which selfish bastard will try to treat his darling daughter as a tool for their ambitions?’. He will make sure, they will end up without any graves.
But what most of the Uchiha’s don’t know is, Sarada already decided to become strong long ago. She already idolized her aunt Ichika from childhood, which turned into worship after learning how she occupied a sovereign state world and how she tamed powerful ruler monsters as pets. She also want to repeat the same feats as her aunt in the future.
Then Ichika turned towards Naruto, who was calm all this time.
“Naruto you are a special case. You have Kyuubi inside you, which is hampering your progress. If it was in the past, it was ok as the Kyuubi was powerful than you. But as you started to cultivate and get strong, the Kyuubi started to depend on you to get stronger. Major part of the energy you are absorbing is being shared with the Kyuubi, reducing your efforts by half.
I can remove the Kyuubi from you without killing both of you, but the Kyuubi is necessary to stay within you as it will be a huge advantage to you in the future. Currently only yang half of the Kyuubi is in you, we need to combine it with the Yin half. If the Kyuubi is in complete form, I have the best suitable technique to increase your cultivation speed, while also simultaneously increasing the strength of the Kyuubi. With a complete Kurama inside you, you can have higher aptitude towards the rare Yin Yang laws of creation.
For this we need to visit the Underworld and retrieve the other half from your mother, if possible we can also resurrect your parents and your family”- Ichika
When the others heard Ichika visiting Underworld, they were shocked. While Naruto was crying tears of joy, as he can be reunited with his family again. He has no doubt in the abilities of his elder sister, as she always does what she says.
“Ichika is it necessary for you to visit Underworld personally? Can’t you just summon all of them here with your Rinnegan?”- Fugaku
No one here visited Underworld, but there are all kinds of scary stories circulating regarding underworld, so they are worried about Ichika’s safety.
