Chapter 320: The Absolute Authority
"Kneel? Don’t make me laugh!!"
The draconic gatekeeper roared, its heavily armored scales vibrating with indignant fury. It refused to bow to a mere human, regardless of her bloodline. It raised its massive, rune-etched sword into the air, channeling the chaotic spatial energy of the dimensional rift. The next moment, the gateway trembled violently, the fabric of reality stretching as thousands of monstrous silhouettes poured through the portal. They flooded the ruined cityscape—beasts of all sizes and shapes rushed out, their collective killing intent suffocating the air.
"Hahaha! The weakest monsters here are Lv200!! And I have five realm Bosses!!! Can you win?!!" It asked with a smirk, staring at Mirabella with pure, unadulterated arrogance. In the hierarchy of Galaxy Fall, a Realm Boss was an apex catastrophe; five of them were enough to erase a continent.
"Thank you for summoning my soldiers." Mirabella said softly, her blue eyes flashing with a predatory gleam. She didn’t see an insurmountable army; she saw a free, high-tier supply drop. She stretched her hand forward, and activated her newly awakened bloodline: Beast Empress. With pinpoint precision, she bypassed the thousands of fodder monsters, targeting it on the Realm Bosses alone.
"My monster force will only consist of realm Bosses!"
BOOOM!!
A dense, absolute wave of red energy burst out from her core. It wasn’t an attack, but a mandate of nature. The crimson wave spread all over the place, rippling through the ruined atmosphere and smashing directly into the five colossal realm Bosses. Their loyalty were instantly, forcibly overwritten.
"Huh? What happened?" A demon girl, with a long prehensile tail, glowing red eyes, and flowing crimson hair asked, moving her gaze around the place in sudden confusion. This was one of the realm Bosses, an elite entity born from the abyssal depths of the true Demon Race.
"Come to your Master!"
Mirabella’s voice echoed in her head like an unbreakable spell, binding her very soul to the human’s will. And instantly, the demoness’s rebellious red eyes glowed brightly with absolute reverence:
"Yes, Master!"
Abandoning their previous summoner without a second thought, she and the remaining four draconic realm Bosses flew towards Mirabella with terrifying speed. They gracefully positioned themselves, and hovered behind her in a perfect, subservient formation, completely stunning the Dragon guard.
"This?" It was dumbfounded, its sword dropping slightly as its entire strategic advantage evaporated in a single second.
"What’s your order, Master." The demon girl, who physically looks 16 years old but radiated centuries of bloodshed, asked, seductively licking her sharp claws.
Mirabella looked over her shoulder at the newly acquired realm Boss: ’This Realm Boss is a demon, from the demon race... How powerful is she?’ She thought, analyzing the dense, dark energy swirling around the girl. Mirabella nodded her head in approval:
"Sure, prove your loyalty to me." Mirabella said calmly, maintaining her absolute authority by crossing her arms on her chest.
"Hehehe! Thank you, Master." The demon said, her voice dripping with sadistic glee, and flew towards the massive horde of Lv200 monsters above.
"Why don’t we have some fun." She licked her claws, a wicked, devilish smirk forming on her beautiful face.
"You! You! I summoned you here! How dare you go against me??!!" The dragon yelled in absolute shock, the hierarchy of the world completely broken before its eyes.
’Shit!! I specifically summon this demoness, mainly because she already advanced to Nine stars. I thought she can face off against this Human, I didn’t expect her to turn against me.’ It thought, panicking and moving backward as it realized the sheer depth of its miscalculation. A Nine stars cultivator of the Demon Race was a walking apocalypse.
"Attack!! Kill them all!!" He yelled desperately, ordering the remaining fodder to overwhelm them.
"So vicious, you want to kill me, do you even have the strength?" The demoness laughed. She stretched her delicate hand towards the charging sea of monsters, and the next moment, thousands of razor-thin, dark tentacles shot out from her opened palm, weaving through the air like a net of death.
WHOOSH!!
The moment it touched a monster, the horrific ability took effect. The monster instantly dried up into brittle bones, all their life-force, energy, and marrow violently siphoned away in less than a second.
Mirabella, Cupcake, Shesha, and Adira watched in genuine shock, as her countless tentacles kept on tapping the monsters with terrifying speed. With every lethal touch, each of them dropping to the ground, dead, turning the battlefield into a massive graveyard of husks.
"She is directly Absorbing their vitality, this is shocking." Mirabella muttered, deeply impressed by the sheer efficiency of the area-of-effect execution.
’Master is already this powerful, having this Demon, her strength just increased.’ Shesha, the colossal two-headed cobra, thought in horror, realizing his own place in the familiars’ hierarchy might be threatened by this monstrous addition.

In less than five minutes, the massive horde of thousands was entirely annihilated. The realm Boss finally lowered her hand, her aura noticeably thicker and more vibrant.
"Hehehe... You are so delicious." She said, sensually licking her lips as she digested the stolen vitality.
"You..." The dragon was so stunned, its immense brain short-circuiting at the massacre, that it couldn’t complete his sentence. It stood alone amidst a sea of its dead army.
"Master, he is the only one left, should I kill him?" She asked, playfully looking over her shoulder at Mirabella, awaiting the sovereign’s judgment.
"Well, he’s useless, and I don’t need him as a soldier, so go ahead." Mirabella answered coldly, dismissing the gatekeeper as nothing more than an obstacle.
"Hehehe! I love the new Master! She let me go wild." The demon ascended high into the air, her crimson hair flaring, and spread her arms wide to the heavens:
’New Master?’ Mirabella raised an eyebrow.
"Demon feast!"
BOOOOM!!!
Dense, suffocating dark demonic energy burst out from her core, rising into the air, and forming a huge, terrifying demon maw behind her, made entirely from condensed demonic energy. It was a high-tier skill, designed to devour everything.
BOOOOM!!!
More than ten thousand thick, pulsating tentacles shot out from the abyssal demon maw, and shot towards the dragon like a rain of black spears.
"You bitch!!!" The dragon cussed. Relying on its immense physical strength, it swung his heavy sword at the closest tentacle, violently cutting them off, and continued its desperate defense, not slowly down one bit.
’I mustn’t let this thing touch me.’ It thought, swinging continuously, terrified of being drained to a husk like its underlings.
"This dragon guard is done for." Adira said calmly, floating near Mirabella, causing Cupcake to turn towards her in confusion.
"What do you mean?" She asked, her eyes watching the dragon successfully sever dozens of the dark limbs.
"With every tentacle he cut off, he loses 5% of his stamina, and energy... And now, he has cut more than fifty tentacles. 5% in fifty places." Adira explained, her deep knowledge of energy revealing the fatal flaw in the dragon’s defense.
The skill wasn’t just a physical attack; it was a conceptual trap.
"Huh? But if he doesn’t block the tentacles, he will surely die." Cupcake pointed out in surprised, realizing the absolute paradox of the situation.
"Correct, that’s why I said he’s done for." Adira said, a small, grim smile on her fairy features. Checkmate.
Cupcake nodded, a shiver running down her spine, and turned to the demon girl: ’Just imagine such a monster was summoned to fight us. Luckily Master tamed and took her over.’ She thought, profoundly grateful for the Beast Empress bloodline. She then looked over her shoulder, at the four terrifying draconic entities hovering silently behind them, the remaining four Realms Bosses standing ready.
’Nothing can stop us now.’ She added, fully embracing her Master’s supreme dominance.

"Ah. Ah. Ah. Why am I getting weaker?" The dragon muttered to himself, his massive arms trembling as he was desperately dodging another tentacles. His stamina had plummeted to zero without a single physical injury.
’How many are there?’ It thought, its vision blurring, watching as more and more limbs moved towards him. With his completely depleted strength, he couldn’t block, or attack, and they effortlessly wrapped around his massive, armored body.
"Come here!" The Demon girl snapped her fingers with absolute authority.
The tentacles violently pulled the exhausted dragon towards the massive, waiting demon maw, which swallowed him whole in one terrifying gulp.
"....?!"
