Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1821 - 168: Outshining All Beauties (Part 4)

Valentina easily dodged to the side, but the magic above suddenly burst open, forcing her to cover her ears embarrassedly and hide.

"You immature brat, you think you understand love, you feel that by speaking from the position of his wife, you are his wife? This is nothing but your self-indulgent role play. Compared to his other women, you’re just a naive little kid. Who do you think you can outplay?"

"Why, is it because you lack it that you say such a thing?"

Valentina spread her wings, and at this moment, Moli and Alagina also arrived at the scene, while other troops were still heading towards the central Golden Palace of Saint Nali.

"Elizabeth!!"

Moli was already trying her best to remain calm, but upon speaking the first sentence, she couldn’t help but let some anger slip through, while beside Alagina, many Cardinals had also caught up. The terrifying combat power of those Cardinals was already witnessed by the Nali Army earlier, yet with the Empress ahead, not a single Nali Soldier moved in retreat, ready to fight to the end.

"Boom!"

"Thud!"

Above the ocean, with Rafael of Mythical Rank participating in the battle, even if the original fleet of the Dragon Court and the elite Cardinal ironclad warships of the Nali seem drastically different in quality, they are still able to prevail.

This is the power of Rank.

Even if the two Fourteenth Rank Valentina and Moli were to stand in front of them, the thousands of troops behind might struggle to resist them for long, all because Elizabeth stood before them, maintaining their resolve to die fighting.

Moli took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on Elizabeth’s face, her words shaky but striving to remain calm,

"Elizabeth, the two of us are not something you and your army can handle. The Mythical Rank Rafael is at sea too, your fleet won’t hold for much longer... stop immediately."

"What about you, why aren’t you speaking, Alagina?"

Elizabeth did not respond to Moli’s words, but instead turned her head to the silent Alagina beside her, causing her to slightly hesitate before Elizabeth spoke once again,

"Is it because of your Rank equal to regular humans? Even if you have Cardinals, in front of these two women whose Rank and status are far above yours, you dare not speak?"

"I..."

"That Dragon-man Species is of Mythical Rank, able to single-handedly pierce through my fleet, leading my carefully prepared elite to demise. And humans? Even with magic, the Rank itself remains immovable. Isn’t this the sorrow of the world?"

"I’m just... not eloquent."

Alagina opened her mouth, but ultimately said this, while Elizabeth sneered and no longer looked at her, turning instead to Moli and Valentina beside her,

"In the past ten thousand years of history, when Mythical Species existed, humans were seen as trivial; now, as they finally catch their breath, they’re faced with the revival of myth and the extinction of all things. Even if we take a step back and say, the extinction is solved by you, then what? Nali, the entire Western Continent, and humans will watch as the countries created by these High Rank beings rise to the summit, only to become slaves again a hundred years later?"

Valentina inhaled deeply and hurriedly said,

"I would never do such a thing, the Wutong Tree treats all living creatures equally."

"Yes, you wouldn’t. But your children, your grandchildren, your descendants will. They will slowly fail to understand why their ancestors would share the resources originally belonging to them with lowly, weak humans. This dissatisfaction will gradually deepen, slowly changing this world until one day, one of your descendants can no longer endure and strips them of everything."

When Elizabeth ascended the throne, she constantly pondered the question of Rank as she perceived the essence of this world through Erwin, Prosthetic Eye, and ultimate Chaos.

Being human, she naturally questioned, if God created all things, why does Rank exist, why do humans always stand at the bottom of Rank, surviving only by remaining alert to other creatures.

In her era, where the myth faded and humans thrived, humans were paramount, and among humans, Nali was the most prominent.

As the Empress of Nali, she bore the responsibility of maintaining its greatness.

When she witnessed various Mythical Ranks rising in the world—Red Dragon Court, Wutong, Ocean—and humans’ Rank remained unchanged, even when used as a magical tool, it couldn’t transcend mythology. Once mythology existed, it spelled doom for humans.

Regret with Fisher, responsibility to Nali, disappointment in the world...

All these reasons could drive Elizabeth to defect to Chaos to reshape a new Order, which is why when Valentina and Moli naively asked her to stop, she naturally felt mocked by them.

As Elizabeth, when Fisher had nowhere to turn back, she too lost her road to return; as Empress, when myth re-emerged, Nali lost its path to retreat.

Valentina fell silent, but Moli gritted her teeth and said,

"Sophistry!! Elizabeth, then when Nali prospered, did you ever spare the weak demi-humans of the South Continent? You plundered the land there, seized the wealth there, slaughtered the living creatures there. Isn’t this what the weak humans once feared that the powerful Mythical Species did to them? What right do you have to talk about fear, what right do you have to betray the world you have ravaged?"
