While deeply meditating for what felt like days, entirely focusing on furthering my comprehension of my Immortal Will, I happened to have a breakthrough in my cultivation, advancing from a middle to a late Divine King. While nice, it was merely a small achievement that was overshadowed by what followed next.
Hearing the sound of glass shattering, the next thing I knew, my Immortal Will surged uncontrollably as it erupted from my body like a tsunami; over the last few days, thanks to my constant mediation, I had managed to finally evolve my Immortal Will to the next level, though now, I needed to regain control of it.
'Settle down now; I command you, not the other way around.' Mused Elif lightly as he furrowed his brows while slowly regaining his command over his Immortal Will.

"Hmm, why are you frowning Sister? You performed amazingly." Asked Suscila in slight confusion as she approached Cordelia, who was holding a sword that radiated sword will while frowning, seemingly unhappy with her performance.
"Because I've yet to achieve what Elif was easily able to do, and that was more than a year ago, he has only further improved and refined his control over sword will." Replied Cordelia with a slight frown as she glanced at Suscila before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, only to swiftly slice her sword into the distance, launching an ethereal sword from the tip of her blade.
"Excuse my lack of understanding, but isn't that the same thing Elif did?" Asked Suscila, in slight confusion, as she tilted her head and glanced at Cordelia, who sighed before shaking her head.
"No. Elif manifested multiple swords in the air purely from his sword will, yet I can only do one. I suppose that shows the testament of his immense talent; I see now why he is always so arrogant. It would be impossible not to be arrogant when you're as talented as him." Remarked Cordelia softly as she glanced at Elif's mountain in the distance before focusing back on her sword, only for Suscila to suddenly embrace her.
"Ohh, don't be like that, Sister. Elif may be talented, but he couldn't possibly be THAT much more talented than you when it comes to the sword. Besides, you could use it as an opportunity to ask for his assistance, then, once you and him get into a private room…" Stated Suscila with a faint smile as she rubbed her cheek against Cordelia, only to lustfully smirk while whispering into her ear before suddenly grasping her breast.
"Stop it, Suscila; I have no intention of doing such things with Elif. The thought has never even crossed my mind." Said Cordelia with a slight blush as she pushed Suscila off her while fixing her clothes, causing her to chuckle in amusement.
"Don't lie to yourself, Sister. Are you going to stand there and tell me with a straight face you've never once imagined Elif holding your body tightly as he sheathed his massive cock within your tight hole? Because I dream about it happening at least once a day." Said Suscila with a faint smirk as she placed her hands on her hips while eyeing Cordelia, who avoided making eye contact.
"U-Um, excuse me, Mistress Suscila, b-but how do you know his thing is massive?" Asked Chule curiously as she floated beside Suscila with a faint blush, her tail gently flapping.
"If you promise on your dao heart, I'll show you something amazing! I spent a fortune to acquire it, but it was worth every spirit stone and then some." Replied Suscila solemnly as she eyed Chule, who rapidly nodded while her eyes eagerly shone, yet before she could make a vow, a powerful and pure intent erupted from the mountain behind them.
Snapping my head toward Elif's mountain, I vividly sensed the pressure his Immortal Will forced onto the world, causing me to frown deeply since it was far stronger than what I remembered. Commanding my own Immortal Will, I stood in front of Suscila and Chule, protecting them from the pressure of his pride, which washed over my mountain, though the instant our Will's came into contact, I was slightly forced backward.
'He's improved yet again.' Thought Cordelia solemnly with a hardened gaze as she gritted her teeth while trying to stay in one spot.

"M-Mistress Tiamat–" Said a young dragon, respectfully with slight fear as he walked forward, only to be slammed to the ground by a large draconic claw.
"Shut up!" Stated Tiamat furiously as she glared at the young dragon, who coughed blood before opening his mouth and summoning a crystal ball.
"P-Patriarch D-Drache-" Said the young dragon as he outstretched his hand to Tiamat who swatted him into the distance while floating the crystal ball towards herself.
"Leave!" Yelled Tiamat viciously as she eyed the several dragons that respectfully nodded before exiting the building, picking up the unconscious dragon from before.
Once everyone left, I infused my Qi into the crystal ball, causing it to faintly glow while a projection of Father appeared in the air, causing me to stand up as I bowed.
"Father." Said Tiamat softly with respect as she suppressed her rage.
"Tiamat. I think you know as to why I'm calling." Stated Drache coldly as he eyed Tiamat, who clenched her fists in anger while nodding.
"Since you know why, then tell me. Why haven't you acquired first place on a single trial? Every single one an Elf has taken first place, so tell me, what are you doing there? Are you enjoying yourself? Do you think it's a vacation?" Questioned Drache coldly as he stared at Tiamat, who gnashed her teeth yet simply lowered her head and didn't respond, causing him to growl.
"Look at me when I'm speaking, Tiamat." Added Drache sternly as he narrowed his eyes, causing Tiamat to reluctantly raise her head as she looked at him.
"It's one thing if you lose first place to a holder of an Immortal Will. However, to lose a pathetic Elf that doesn't have an Immortal Will? What am I supposed to think, Tiamat?" Asked Drache as he glared at Tiamat, who didn't respond and simply looked at him.
"Hmph, nothing to say? I expected as much. Do better, Tiamat. You're a Dragon; you're superior to these lesser creatures… Even if you're not showing it." Stated Drache with a scoff as he looked at Tiamat before clenching his fist, causing the crystal ball to suddenly explode while his figure vanished.
Sitting back down, I silently stared into the distance; my anger had reached a point where it was calmly simmering, just waiting to be unleashed. However, when that Immortal Will washed through the mountain, pressuring me, it was the catalyst that served as my outburst.
"FUCKING ELIF!! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL SLAUGHTER YOUR WHOLE FUCKING FAMILY!!" Yelled Tiamit furiously as she loudly roared while her Immortal Wil violently erupted, combating the overwhelming presence of pride, though it was clearly losing.

After lowering the doll, I reached to my head and gently removed Master's soul, which had been recuperating. Then, I backed away and watched as the doll's appearance slowly changed.
The white doll got slightly darker, taking on a brownish hue; her nails grew longer, imitating what looked like claws; her body grew in size, and her hair changed to white. Her chest more than doubled, and her butt did the same while her waist slightly shrunk; her thighs thickened, and finally, a tail and two horns sprouted out from her lower back and forehead, respectively.
"M-Maste-" Asked Lucifer gently as he walked forward, his words causing the doll's eyes to suddenly snap open, revealing her bright red eyes.
"Haa, it seems everything worked out perfectly." Said Lucifer with a sigh of relief as he glanced at his Master, his mind slightly wandering now that he was no longer worried.
While appreciating Master's incredible body, she suddenly stood up and tightly grasped my neck; not only that, but she forcefully suppressed my Qi with merely the strength of her soul.
"Oh, how I've been waiting for this moment." Said the woman with a bloodthirsty smile as she opened her mouth, revealing her numerous razor-sharp fangs while Lucifer just stared at her in confusion.
"M-Master? W-Why?" Asked Lucifer as he stared at his Master, who suddenly smiled before bursting into laughter.
"Hahahahaha! You should see your face!" Stated the woman as she dropped Lucifer to the ground and roared with laughter.
Looking at Master laugh at my misery, for the first time since she's been with me, I was furious with her.
"It's not funny, Master." Stated Lucifer coldly as he turned around while sniffling, causing his master to calm down.
"Haa, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do all that. It's just that it's been so long since I've had the chance to terrorize someone. I apologize, Lucifer." Said the woman softly with a sigh as she hugged Lucifer from behind, though he simply ignored her while wiping his tears.
"Also, remember that promise? My name is Qualen; I'm a Fire Demon." Remarked Qualen with a small smile as she picked up Lucifer and sat down before placing him on her lap.
"Hmph, only a fool wouldn't have realized you were a demon after that 'joke' you pulled." Said Lucifer in anger as he folded his arms, refusing to look at Qualen, who chuckled before nodding in agreement.
Before Master could do anything further, powerful Intent washed over the two of us, causing me to quickly surge my Immortal Will to protect Master as she was still vulnerable without her true body; however, my expression couldn't help but worsen as I struggled to resist the pressure of pride that surrounded us, I was slowly being pushed back.
"Heh, that Elf boy truly is something remarkable. He would've made a mockery out of cultivators during my era." Muttered Qualen in both awe and respect as she sensed the Immortal Will of Pride.
