The dimensional rift pulsed with a deep, menacing hum as the crimson aurora above the floating obsidian islands bled across the sky like spilled wine.

Inside the central starlight lounge of the ship, Min-jae’s wives were casually watching the spatial anomaly through the panoramic windows. Lin Miao was comfortably stretched across Min-jae’s lap, happily nibbling on a piece of fruit, while the rest of the queens traded amused, knowing glances.

"Another challenger approaches," Yoo Ji-a remarked, swirling her glass of celestial wine. "Let’s see if this one lasts longer than ten seconds."

Out of the churning vortex of dark energy, a figure materialized, cutting through the heavy winds with absolute, predatory grace.

She was a vision of dark, dangerous perfection. Her long, ink-black hair cascaded down past her waist, framing a face of cold, flawless porcelain. Her piercing, glowing crimson eyes burned with an ancient, ruthless intelligence. She wore a breathtaking, razor-sharp battle-dress forged from midnight silk and blood-red dragon scales, accentuating a devastatingly voluptuous hourglass figure with a full, heavy chest and wide, powerful hips. A crown of jagged obsidian thorns floated above her head, radiating the volatile energy of a primordial royal dynasty.

Her name was Azshara—the last reigning Blood-Empress of the Abyssal Dragon Dynasty, a terrifying entity sealed away for millennia, waiting for the vaults to open so she could claim the cosmos.

Through the ship’s spiritual comm-links, Azshara’s voice rang out—cold, sharp, and dripping with lethal arrogance:

"Attention, floating trespassers! You dare breach my ancestral domain with your vulgar pleasure-galleys? I am Azshara, the sovereign of the blood-realm! Identify yourselves and surrender your divine cores, or I will flay your souls across the stars!"

Min-jae set his cup down slowly. A slow, dangerous, and utterly confident smirk curved his lips. "Azshara," he murmured, tasting the name. "Has a nice ring to it. Let’s go introduce ourselves."

Min-jae didn’t bother using the airlock. With a casual wave of his hand, he tore open a spatial portal right through the reinforced glass of the lounge, stepping out directly into the freezing winds of the floating obsidian platform.

Azshara hovered a hundred yards away, narrowing her glowing crimson eyes as crackling bolts of blood-red lightning danced across her fingertips.

"So, you are the arrogant mortal who thinks he can conquer my realm!" Azshara sneered, her voice echoing with thunderous power. "My bloodline art ignores all defenses! Prepare to be reduced to ash!"

With a ferocious shriek, Azshara unleashed her ultimate technique: The Crimson Abyss Massacre

A tidal wave of blood-red celestial fire, thick enough to melt planets and shatter dimensions, surged forward across the sky, aimed directly at Min-jae with apocalyptic force.

Back inside the lounge, Lin Miao and the queens sipped their drinks calmly.

"She’s dramatic," Liu Xiao chuckled softly. "I give her eight seconds before she’s completely speechless."

Out in the open wind, Min-jae didn’t even blink. He raised a single finger.

[ True God Authority: Absolute Nullification.]

As the apocalyptic wave of blood-red fire crashed toward him, it stopped dead in mid-air, flickered, and completely dissolved into harmless wisps of starlight smoke.

Azshara’s face froze in absolute, bone-chilling shock. Her crimson eyes widened in horror. "What?! Impossible! Who—what are you?!"

Before she could process what had happened, Min-jae vanished and reappeared directly in front of her in a flash of golden light. Before she could swing her obsidian blade, his hand shot out, gripping her narrow waist with effortless, dominant strength, pulling her flush against his chest.

Azshara gasped, her cheeks flushing a brilliant crimson of sheer fury and humiliation as she tried to wrench herself free. "Unhand me, you insolent—!"

"You’ve got a lethal bite, Azshara, and a very impressive bloodline," Min-jae murmured darkly right against her ear, his dark eyes sparkling with playful amusement. "But in this realm, my word is the absolute law."

"I would rather die than yield to a—mph!—"

Min-jae cut her off completely by capturing her lips in a deep, fierce, and utterly overwhelming kiss.

Azshara’s eyes went wide as saucers. She tried to bite down, but the crushing, divine starlight energy radiating from his body paralyzed her resistance, melting her fierce defiance into a breathless, trembling daze. Her dark obsidian blade slipped from her fingers, clattering onto the stone platform far below.

When Min-jae finally pulled back just an inch, a glistening string of saliva connected their lips. Azshara was panting heavily, her face completely flushed, her crimson eyes swimming with a mixture of shock, confusion, and reluctant, intense fascination.

Back inside the viewing lounge, Yoo Ji-a smirked, leaning against the glass. "And just like that, the Blood-Empress has been successfully added to the collection."

Min-jae looked down at the stunning, furious queen in his arms, a wicked grin on his face. "Welcome to the empire, Azshara. Let’s head inside and introduce you to your new sister-wives."

Azshara glared up at Min-jae, her glowing crimson eyes burning with a mixture of intense humiliation and fierce, unyielding pride. She shoved her hands hard against his chest, wrenching herself backward out of his grip and floating a few paces away, her black hair and dragon-scale battle-dress thrashing in the gale.

"Do not touch me!" Azshara snapped, her voice trembling slightly with suppressed rage as she pointed an accusing finger at him. "Just because you possess some bizarre, otherworldly divine trick that can nullify my bloodline arts does not mean I belong to you! I am the Blood-Empress of the Abyssal Dynasty! I bow to no man, least of all an arrogant, smiling trespasser!"

Min-jae didn’t lunge for her or try to pull her back. Instead, he simply crossed his arms, leaning back slightly in mid-air with a lazy, amused smile playing on his lips. "Is that so? You have quite a sharp tongue for someone who was just thoroughly speechless two seconds ago."

"I was merely caught off guard!" Azshara hissed, her cheeks flushing a deeper shade of crimson. She summoned her obsidian blade back into her palm with a flick of her wrist, her chest heaving heavily beneath her blood-red dragon-scale armor. "If you think you can kidnap or coerce a sovereign of my caliber into your little floating pleasure-palace, you are sorely mistaken. Keep your ’empire’ and your harem. I fight my own battles!"
