LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS
/ LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 290 Prince of Heavens?
Xing got closer to them and looked down seeing all the ships in formation neatly arranged like pieces of wood made her remember a game she played when she was young... With Hana...
They had found in an aftermath of rain, an ant colony that got submerged in water and some of the ants were staying afloat on leaves in bunches. Hana always liked to play with bugs and ants and she made a bet to see who topples more leaves by blowing on them.
Xing agreed and they went on blowing on those leaves one after the other and they didn't care about the ants that drowned in the puddle. It was a fun game which ended abruptly when an ant clung on to Hana's nose and she got bit and went home with a big bump in her reddened nose and crying.
Xing who was too drunk with her powers felt the same way the five year old her felt blowing those leaves. With one tornado to her right already destroyed the 'Soaring Eagle', she decided to give it a go to see how many more tornados she could create with water and air and topple the rest of the ships.
The Vice Admiral of the fleet, who was awaiting the signal flare, to move forward with all hands on deck, saw the sudden formation of a tornado in the sky and he saw the tornado destroying their strongest ship precisely.
Why does it feels like the tornado is being controlled? He wondered and he noticed something odd.
Is that a person floating in the sky with a tornado on their command? Or is that a god on their side? And is that person coming towards us?
The entire fleet got alerted and and wardrums were beaten signalling everyone to be ready to attack.
Xing who was a bit irritated by the constant drumming noise, created another tornado by her left to suppress the noise of the drums and moved closer to the fleet.
The soldiers in the back rows of the fleet, saw the approaching mysterious masked person with their golden hair and red robes fluttering... There were thunders rolling and Lightnings falling from the clouds above that person creating a blood-curdling sight in front of them. The sky that was clear just moments ago is now filled with thick thunder clouds and they have two tornados incoming towards them led by a god!
They did not sign up for this!
Xing noticed the last two rows of ships trying to turn back and leave and she didn't like that...
Stop!!!
Xing raised her hands and ten more waterspouts formed in the rear side of the fleet blocking their way out making everyone panic.
The front line of ships started raining arrows at her in an attempt to distract her concentration but those arrows flew away in different direction by the strength of the two waterspouts near her.
Seeing the tornadoes closing in on them they had no other way but to try and retreat but their exit was already blocked.
They knelt and prayed to the person in front of them but sadly the one who they were praying to simply was not in the mood to listen to them. In fact she wasn't even treating them as humans and looking at them as the ants she played with when she was young.
Xing from the height she was standing, could only see the men in the ships as ants and she reminded of the time Bai Li was playing with the ants and deciding for them. She could not hear their pleas to life by the thunders rolling beside her!
All the waterspouts moved towards the rows and rows of ships and all the ships started shattering to pieces one by one....
Power is amazing! If there is a possibility that I won't be allowed to be with Chenglei, even after I kill old Rong, what is the use of me holding onto my morals? I'll die anyway, right? Why not obilerate my enemies, the people I hate, the people I deem unsuitable to live in the face of earth?
Aren't I the Divine Ruler? Aren't I a god? Aren't I entitled to do what I wish?
I'll kill them all so that they won't disturb my loved ones ever again!
I, the Divine Ruler is Entitled!
I've lost my freewill for their agenda! Shouldn't I be allowed to do as I please for once?
I lost my place by my love and being marked as the wrong person's wife now! Shouldn't I have some incentives for losing the best time of my life?
I am the Divine Ruler! Don't they want me to protect the kingdom? That's what I will do... By eliminating my enemies and potential enemies at the same time! So that I will stop being the Empress! So that I will have the possibility of getting the title I want - Wife of Chenglei!
Xing went on finding reasons for her act of destruction and carried on destroying everything in her sight!

Heavenly Council Hall
Fei Lian and the other three great gods were waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Emperor. TudiGong the God of earth, sat there staring at the artworks hanging and he seemed aloof as ever adn Zhu Rong had a sneer hidden in her face.
Finally, that mortal is finished!
Fei Lian glared at Mazu who had called for this emergency meeting with the four great ones concerning the one who is displaying her power in her turf.
What a pitiful god to get her feather ruffled by a child!
Fei Lian cursed her in his heart.
Mazu was piqued by that mortal treading mercilessly on her turf. She tried to limit her control over her seas but she could not and so she decided to arrange this emergency meeting.
"How could such power be given to a mere mortal just to kill a god, a weak one at that?", Mazu was not holding back when she questioned the Heavenly Emperor.
"The power she has was not given by us. It was hers all along and she is using it now ", the Heavenly Emperor sitting in an upright position uttered.
Zhu Rong saw her controlling that many waterspouts at the same time and was flabbergasted, " Isn't this a power of a god? How came a mortal has god powers?", she raised her eyesbrows in surprise.
" We always believed she had the augury of the Prince of Heavens, she proved it to be true now by controlling more than one element", the Heavenly Emperor was calm as he spoke. He always knew she was special from the day she broke the spell he used to cage her that day when she was brought to his palace in her young days...
"What?" Zhu Rong and Mazu were surprised. Fei Lian was in deep contemplation and TudiGong had an indifferent expression.
"But how can a human become the Prince of Heavens and how is her human body able to hold such power? Won't such power melt a human's body from inside?", Zhu Rong asked.
"She has my blood in her... Albeit only a little. She also has the God Essence flowing through her veins ", the Emperor answered. Honestly he wasn't sure too.
"If she is one of us, shouldn't she follow our rules? How is she permitted to kill humans without any reservation?", Mazu could not accept that useless mortal to be someone important. The heavens been missing the one with the sign of Prince for the last five centuries and now this immoral mortal is that one? She cannot allow that to happen!
" She is a human with god powers. She is allowed to do what she wants in her realm!", Fei Lian cut off Mazu's complaints
"Still we cannot allow a mass murder of this scale in the human realm!", she talked back and a verbal battle ensued between the two joined by ZhuRong talking about putting down Xing.
"Enough!", the Heavenly Emperor stopped them and pointed to the god of death happily registering the deaths of the persons dead along with his subordinates. He had been complaining his promised quota wasn't met in the past months as the previous wars were ended without much casualties by her. And so by her giving him occupants for his grey empire, he was happy.
"Then make sure she takes the role of the Prince and join us in the Heavenly realm. All she has to do is eat the Immortality Peach, right? Too bad she cannot marry that human then!", Mazu said in a bitter tone as all of her other plans had failed. That mortal should lose at least something!
" She won't agree", Fei Lian rolled his eyes. As if she'd want to live in this realm without him!
"Force her, then! If she is one of us, she cannot belong to the humans!", Zhu Rong gave her two cents.
"Do you two really want her here?", the god of earth who was quiet till then, asked with a sneer that made the two goddesses being jealous of a mortal go red with shame. They also realised that if she is here, Fei Lian won't even spare a look at them... That cannot happen!
" If she is forced to be here and if she had the power to kill gods, won't she turn against us?", he said and gave his bow to the Heavenly Emperor and left leaving the other gods in their own thoughts.

Meanwhile in the western seas,
Nothing was left... No one survived... All the four hundred ships with two hundred and fifty soldiers and the ship crew, were all drowned in the sea and the one who could very well be called 'conqueror' didn't have her usual rationality with her then. She just let herself lose by her emotions and ended up killing thousands.
The Emperor, the Zhong army, the Imperial army, Maya and others watching the one standing above everyone in the midst of thunder and lightning and obilerated an entire fleet of the best navy known to them and were filled with joy.
We won! We won a war we had no chance winning! Our Empress won the war single-handedly for us!
Everyone started rejoicing.
Xing who had destroyed all the ships turned her attention towards a small ship hiding in the cover of tall cliffs moving away from her towards the shore.
Inside that small ship apart from the crew, there were only three people..... Chenglei, Prince Kang of the Fire Kingdom and his princess Consort.
"Who is that?", Prince Kang asked Chenglei who was standing by the stern watching everything unfolding in front of his eyes. Prince Kang's dark eyes that reflected the dark clouds and the lightning, were observing the one looking so god-like destroying everything like a child destroying his toys and various emotions stormed in his heart.
Chenglei, watching Xing, could not hide the smile in his face seeing his Xing doing what she does, amazing as always.He felt there is something wrong with the aura around her and he wanted to get near her to comfort her. She looked a bit unhinged and seemed arrogant which is not that good and he wanted her to stop doing what she is doing but then again she is arrogant always.
He knew her method of eliminating all their enemies like this will make sure to instill fear among the other kingdoms as news about this spreads and no one, especially the one who is with him will be scared to even think of invading their kingdom.
Good job! He praised her in his heart.
"That is the Divine Ruler", he answered. That's all he needs to know.
Prince Kang who had been long used to the one-lined answers from this man, didn't press further. He didn't like to talk unnecessarily and waste his words on an unsuccessful task. He was with this man for days and could not figure him out.
Xing who noticed the small ship and her thirst for destruction hadn't been quenched yet and she followed that ship. She could see a man whose blood had the same glow as the familiar man standing in front of him...
With out thinking twice She formed an arrow with the water and sent it toward the man with the faint white glow...
He should be the one from the fire Kingdom! I'll kill him! He might hurt us in the future!
