Chapter 132 - The Heirs of Emperor Void ling

The Skies above the Empress Dynasty thundered with celestial roars, not of war--but of celebration. Void ling and Seraphina, now Emperor and Empress of the Astral Universe, descended gracefully, walking hand-in-hand through the cheering crowds. Queen Revy and Queen Mae watched with warm smiles. Empress Asuna, standing tall, radiated pride.

Liana Vortex waved at Seraphina from the crowd. Seraphina noticed, smiled, and waved back--doing the same for Celestina and Kaia, who beamed with joy. Aria Ling rushed forward, her violet aura flickering with excitement. Seraphina knelt and spoke to her with a mother's smile. Void ling placed a hand on her shoulder, proud and gentle. Then he turned to Seraphina.

Void ling:

(Softly)

"Babe...mind if I go see Blaze?"

Seraphina:

(Smiled)

"Of course, Sweetheart."

Void ling walked toward Blaze, who smirked as he approached. And he spoke.

Blaze Vortex:

(Dryly)

"Took you ling enough to wear a crown."

Void ling:

(Matching his tone)

"You're just jealous it's violent."

Seraphina joined Kaia, Celestina, and Liana--laughter blooming like flowers around them. King Ryder stepped forward to Void ling and Blaze.

King Ryder:

(Smirked)

"Well, what i can I say, Void ling..."

Void ling:

(Bowing slightly)

"Thank you for everything you have done for me King Ryder."

King Ryder:

(Smiled)

"Don't thank me, silly. You've done more for me than you know. And also you don't have to bow, you are literally an Emperor."

Ryuu:

(Smiling)

"You guys are really funny."

King Kaito, King Alvanor, Yuuto, Akira, Krista, and Albus arrived to greet Blaze, exchanging words of respect and camaraderie. Later, Empress Asuna approached Void ling.

Empress Asuna:

(With finality)

"The Empress Dynasty is yours now."

Void ling:

(Smiling)

"Thank you, Asuna."

Queen Revy:

(Playfully)

"You can rename it. Call it the Emperor Dynasty."

Blaze Vortex:

(Arms crossed, face bored)

"Well, Emperor...what now?"

Void ling:

(Equal bored)

"Is a good name dumbass."

Takashi:

(Laughing)

"These two never change, do they?"

Kai:

(Smirking)

"You're absolutely correct."

One by one, the guests departed. Empress Asyna and her Queens returned to their home.

Asuna:

(Calling off)

"Well, my Emperor...we're off."

Void ling nodded, watching them vanish into light. Seraphina waved to liana, then returned home. Void ling turned to Blaze.

Void ling:

(Serious)

"We need to head to the kingdom. There's work to do."

Blaze Vortex:

(Smirked)

"Let's go."

They telported to the newly renamed Emperor Dynasty, the seat of cosmic rule. In a distance, abandoned land, Aria Ling and Blazion Vortex stood facing each other for a sparring match.

Blazion:

(Grinning)

"Wanna train with me, Aria?"

Aria:

(Smirking)

"You bet. Ready when you are."

They surged forward, clashing fists mid-air, sending shockwaves across the terrain. Both teleported left and right, fist to fist and they spoke mid-air.

Aria:

(While dodging)

"You must have the power of your mom and dad, right?"

Blazion:

(Countering)

"Yeah. And you've got both of yours too."

They clashed again. Blazion fire fireballs--Aria blocked and teleported behind him. Blazion reacted, pinching her mid--spin, sending her crashing to the ground.

Aria:

(Rising)

"Not bad..."

She fired darkness beams--Blazion dodged, threw a punch--Aria caught it in her palm. They descended, breathing hard, eyes glowing.

Blazion:

(Smiling)

"One day...I'll be Emperor of the Kingdom."

Back at the Emperor Dynasty--They were looking around the kingdom. And they spoke.

Blaze Vortex:

(Looking around)

"This Kingdom looks clean already."

Void ling:

(Nodding)

"It's ready."

Blaze Vortex:

(Thoughtful)

"I might try visiting the Supreme Gods realm."

Void ling:

(Serious)

"You know it's impossible. They exist in a place where even dimensions don't exist. Their realm...defies reality itself "

Blaze Vortex:

(Smirking)

"Doesn't mean I won't try."

Inside the Emperor Dynasty, the throne room hums with quiet power. Void ling sits upon the violet throne, a floating device hovering before him--its interface glowing with Astral data. He types with precision, scanning reports from the outer realms. Blaze Vortex stands nearby arms crossed.

Blaze Vortex:

(Serious)

"The Supreme Gods...they're watching. You know what king of danger they pose."

Void ling:

(Without looking up)

"I don't. They don't move without reason. But when they do...reality bends at it will. By their presence alone.

Blaze Vortex:

(Stepping closer)

"They won't stay silent forever. Eventually, they'll grow impatient, They'll want to visit our universe or probably even destroy it because of boredom, but since they realize we live in this universe, they will try and be more careful."

Void ling:

(Pausing)

"If they come...we will need to kill them before one of them destroy our universe."

In the abandoned land, the air crackles with residual energy. Aria Ling and Blazion Vortex lie on the ground, breathless, smiling.

Aria Ling:

(Grinning)

"Can you command an army?"

Blazion:

(Panting)

"A little. Not like our dads."

Aria ling:

(Nodding)

"Same. But they can summon infinite armies..We'll get there."

Blazion:

(Smirking)

"One day."

Aria Ling:

(Standing up)

"Let's keep going."

Blazion:

(Rising)

"You bet."

They surge forward again--immense speed, teleporting in bursts: backward, upward, left, right. Each clash sends Shockwave through the terrain. They landed a final punch at the same time--both sent flying, crashing to the ground. Lying side by side, breathless, they laugh.

Aria Ling:

(Smiling)

"That was good training."

Blazion:

(Grinning)

"Best I've had."

Back at home, Seraphina lounges on the couch, phone in hand, chatting with liana Vortex.

Seraphina Ling:

(Laughing)

"We need a break from all this ceremony. Let's meet at the new restaurant in the Ember District."

Liana Vortex:

(On the line)

"Yes! I've heard they serve Blossom tea. We'll make it a girl's day.

Seraphina Ling:

(Smiling into the phone)

"Should we invite Kaia and Celestina too?"

Liana Vortex:

(Without hesitation)

"Yes. Certainty. They deserve a seat at the table."

Seraphina Ling:

(Softly)

"Then it's settled. Four queens. One table. Let's make it legendary."

Theh talk and laugh, planning their outing--two queen, two mothers, finally catching s breath. At the Grand doors of the Emperor Dynasty. The door opens as King Ryder enters, holding a stack of documents. He approaches the throne, where Emperor Void ling sits in quiet command, with Blaze Vortex nearby.

King Ryder:

(Offering the papers)

"Void ling. Here. Documents for the kingdom--realm logistics, census updates, and....tournament proposals."

Void ling:

(Taking them,scanning briefly)

"Tournament?"

Blaze Vortex:

(Curious)

"For who?"

Void ling:

(Leaning forward)

"We'll organize a tournament. For the children of the realms, to test their power, their growth...their potential."

Blaze Vortex:

(Raising an eyebrow)

"Not everyone has kids."

King Ryder:

(Nodding)

"True. But Ryuu does. His daughter--Clara Star. She's the child of Ryuu and Celestina."

Void ling & Blaze:

(In unison)

"Celestina?!"

Blaze Vortex:

(Confused)

"Wait. Since when did Ryuu and Celestina...They barely speak when we're around."

King Ryder:

(Smiling faintly)

"They're known each other since childhood. Their bond runs deep. They just keep it quiet when we're nearby."

Blaze Vortex;

(Softly)

"I see. That make sense now."

King Ryder:

(Gesturing to the papers)

"And there are more. Children from the cities--born with powers, trained in silence. They deserve a chance to rise."

Void ling:

(Serious)

"Then we'll make it official."

Blaze Vortex:

(Grinning)

"This will be...explosive."

Inside the throne room, Void ling sits tall upon the violet throne, his aura calm but commanding. He turns to King Ryder, voice steady.

Void ling:

(Smirked)

"Kindly inform everyone across the kingdoms. Let them know the tournament is coming."

King Ryder:

(Bowing slightly)

"Certainty, My Emperor."

With a flash of light, King Ryder teleports to the central broadcast chamber. He activates a floating device--an ancient relic that transmits afford the entire universe. The device pulse, and King Ryder's echoes across cities, Kingdoms, and distant lands in the universe.

King Ryder:

(Broadcasting)

"By decree of Emperor Void ling, A tournament shall be held for the children in this universe. Let power rise, let legacy awaken."

In the city streets, people pause. One kid turns to another. And he spoke.

Shun:

(Smirked)

"This'll be entertaining, won't it, Ash?"

Ash:

(Smirking)

"More than that."

Others nod, excitement building. The message spreads like wildfire. Back at the Emperor Dynasty. King Ryder teleports back to the throne room.

King Ryder:

(Bowed)

"It's done. The message has reached every corner."

Void ling:

(Nodding)

"Thank you."

King Ryder smiles, then vanished into light. In the abandoned land, Aria and Blazion, still catching their breath from training, hear the broadcast ripple through the air.

Aria Ling:

(Smiling)

"Did you hear that?"

Blazion Vortex:

(Grinning)

"A tournament. We're in."

They teleport back to the Astral Kingdom, eager to prepare. In the Ling Household. Seraphina was walking.

Seraphina Ling:

(On the phone)

"Alright, I'm on my way. I'll meet you there."

Liana Vortex:

(Responding)

"Same here. Did you inform Celestina and Kaia?"

Seraphina Ling:

(Smiled)

"Yes. They're coming."

Liana:

(Smiling)

"Perfect. Let's make it a proper gathering."

In the Crimson Slayers Kingdom--Departure was about to begin and Kaia turns to Celestina with excitement in her eyes.

Celestina:

(Smiled)

"Let's go."

Kaia:

(Pausing)

What about Clara? Won't she be lonely?"

Celestina:

(Smiled)

"She'll be fine. My husband is taking care of her."

Kaia:

(Smiling)

"Right. Let's go."

They teleported outside the kingdom, arriving moments later to meet Seraphina and Liana. Warm greetings are exchanged laughter shared. Back at the Emperor Dynasty, the throne room glows with quiet anticipation. The Rulers are in place. And the Tournament is about to begin.
