GODDESS OF THE EMPIRE

*Inside Nian's Coffee Shop

"Did Otiz tell you why I am staying in Zion? Or did he inform you about the mana outbreak that might happen in Skyland and Kirsi's realm?" Aella asked.

"Yes, he told me everything Miss Aella, but for now Mr Otiz has only placed a barrier around Skyland and Kirsi. Everything is under control for now, as long as the portal connecting Earth, to the other five planets is stable, Earth will not be invaded or have a mana eruption."

"I see. Well," Aella said thoughtfully, "if the portal collapses, we will certainly be invaded by the demon race from the planet DRYA.

There are five planets: EARTH (OR GAIA) -NYX- JUPTIER- DRYA- ACRUX.

The first planet is called NYX:

It is the home planet of the elves, dryads and dwarves.

The Elves are known for their speed, magic and are powerful archers, they live with the Dryads, elemental spirits, they are the eternal protectors of nature, the Dryads are excellent spellcasters due to their natural abilities.

And the dwarves are known for their fearlessness, they are skilled warriors, miners, stone and metal workers. Nyx is known as the most peaceful and tranquil planet in the universe.

Then there is the planet Drya:

Located in the dimension on the opposite side of the planet Earth, Drya is the planet of the Demon race. After the gods and elemental spirits, the demon race is known as the third most powerful race. They have an extraordinary ability to use magic. They are expert warriors and naturally violent.

Planet Acrux:

A resting place for the Elemental Spirits, they were the first beings to exist after the universe was created, they're charged with maintaining the balance of the universe.

They're known as the most powerful beings in the entire Universe, so powerful that even the Gods themselves don't want to get involved with them.

The spirits of fire, earth, air, lightning and water are the most powerful elemental spirits. The dryads, who live alongside the elves and dwarves, are the elemental spirits of nature.

Lastly, we have Juptier:

This planet was not inhabited by anyone at first, until the arrival of a few humans who call themselves the .

They are humans who have mysteriously acquired divine powers.

Some of these so-called god descendants split into two groups. The first group left Earth and moved to the planet Juptier. The rest remained on Earth, creating their own empire, now known as the Mystic Empire of Azua. This is also where Otiz and his brother Juhen came from.

Aella sighed.

"That aside, what did you find out about the Oasis School?"

"This school was founded by Zei. At first we thought he was a citizen of the 'Azua Mystic Empire', but he's not, he's a Juptien, from the planet Juptier, he founded that school to teach young people how to cultivate Mana and use Magic," Khaled said.

"Hmm? Azua Empire and Juptier?" Aella was thinking to herself.

"Yes, they've been teaching Mana cultivation for more than four to five months now. As you know, Mana is a magical spiritual energy that can manifest in the form of Magic, and knowing how to control Mana means having the ability to awaken magical powers."

"Hm" Aella nodded, "cultivating mana requires a strong aura, mentality and will, it can be very dangerous if someone with a weak constitution and mentality tries cultivating mana".

"Exactly, this was the first thought I had when I first heard about the purpose of the Oasis, but there are already some students who have succeeded in cultivating their mana, seven of them have already awakened the power of two of the five elements, water and earth," Khaled said.

Aella raised her eyebrows and looked at Khaled before she said "Oh that's good, I thought it would be boring but it looks like it will be rather entertaining for me".

Khaled said hurriedly, "Don't, Mister Otiz told me to tell you that ... one hit from you is enough to destroy an area>"

"Tsk!"

"And..." Khaled added.

Aella stared at him. "There's more?

"He said you can only use two percent of your power," Khaled got up and walked over to Aella's seat.

"That low? ...." Aella complained.

"Right, sorry," he reached for the two crystal devices in Aella's ears.

He pressed a small blue diamond-shaped stone that was in the middle of the device, which resembled an ornament, after pressing it the device glowed and then a number two was marked on the diamond stone.

Slightly surprised, Aella touched her two devices and said.

"I remember when he put these two devices in my ears, I was twelve years old, and he didn't even explain what they were for".

"Ha ha ha, maybe he didn't get a chance to tell you," Khaled said.

"Miss Aella, did you know that you are very famous in the city of Zion and in the other kingdoms? Everyone admires and respects you," Khaled suddenly changed the subject, "Although the people of Sion, Gaia, Kirsi, Willow and Skyland didn't want to acknowledge the existence of mana and powers at first, but after the incident in the Dark Realm, everyone wanted to meet the girl named SCAE who destroyed the entire Dark Realm," Khaled said, admiring Aella with shining eyes.

"It wasn't intentional," Aella rolled her eyes.

The story goes back to when Aella was ten years old. She, Otiz, Grandma Grace and Uncle Juhen went to the forest of the Eclipse Kingdom, which was a place where the most notorious criminals from the other kingdoms escaped.

More dangerous monstrous beasts from the royal ranks were also known to live in the same forest. On that day, Aela, Otiz, Uncle Juhen and Grandmother Grace were walking in the forest when they encountered both the criminals and the monsters at once, the criminals trying to rob them and the monsters trying to eat them.

It was a day of chaos. As Otiz and Juhen prepared to fight, they felt a strong and huge earthquake, not only those in the forest, but also the people in the city of Sion felt the earthquake.

Otiz and Juhen looked wide-eyed where Aella stood.

They saw a quarter of the forest frozen, and dozens of ice-shaped swords floating in the air, ready to strike. The criminals' eyes were wide open and their mouths dropped to the ground, shocked and terrified.

They all turned their heads in slow motion to Aella, accumulating lightning in her left hand and fire in her right.

She began to merge the two powers as she finished accumulating them.

Horrified, Otiz and Juhen ran towards Aella, shouting at her.

"SCAE STOP!" Otiz could be heard shouting Aella's nickname.

But it was too late, Aella had already merged both elements.

RUMBLE! CRACK!

BANG BANG BANG!

A deafening AND terrifying sound could be heard as it exploded across the entire kingdom.

The beautiful green forest, houses and villas were nowhere to be seen. Everything had been reduced to ashes.

"It was an incredible sight! At first everyone thought there was no way such a little girl could destroy an entire kingdom, until the scout team found a video from one of the miniature flying robot security cameras, in the video they could only identify Otiz by the angle of the camera, but no one could identify who the girl was, they could only see her silhouette and then they heard Otiz shouting her name, SCAE," Khaled explained. "Everyone knew about the existence of the monster beasts thanks to you and the scout team's investigation.

"Thank God, the only people who lived in the realm of the Eclipse were only criminals and the Monster Beasts," said Khaled.

"Like I said, I didn't do it intentionally, Otiz was the one who told me that if I encountered this kind of people and dangerous situations, I should fight with everything I have, also everyone is safe because Uncle Juhen teleported them out of the forest when that happened," Aella defended herself calmly.

"Right, that is what Mr Otiz had told me!"

"Aella stood up, "Ah... forget it, I'm going home. "

"Miss Aella," Khaled called.

"Mmm."

As they left the cafe, Khaled asked, "Will you still be staying with the lady from Pearl's family?"

"I don't think so. I have to go to Oasis tomorrow ..... She replied, leaving Khaled behind, "I will be staying in the residences that Oasis has.
