Heaven, Earth, Me Chapter 1653. Peculiar Orkwa Matriarch.

Leaving Yasenia behind with the 100 maids guarding her, the girls moved with the Guardians deeper into the seal. As they did, the original guardians chatted with the girls. Han Luan, having taken the leadership position, spoke with Tatyana. “Are you an Abyssal Hunter, Lady Tatyana?” 

Tatyana smiled and shook her head. “Not exactly. I was not even born with my current bloodline…” 

Han Luan was startled. “You changed your bloodline? That’s… bold.”

Tatyana shrugged. “Not that much. There are plenty of people who drink dragon blood or implant other mythical beings’ marrow to become stronger. My case is similar. The only difference is that I was forced into the change.” 

Han Luan glanced at Tatyana, eyes full of curiosity. “I really want to ask for the details. Would you mind telling me?” 

Tatyana smirked. “I would, actually.” 

Han Luan became stumped, and the girls listening from behind sighed, as if they had already expected it. Tatyana revealing her past secrets was as likely as the day flipping to night when it was noon. 

Tatyana changed the subject. “So, where is the Orkwa Matriarch?” 

“It’s at the very center. When we separated those two, we thought about how to hide the Orkwa Matriarch. If the Abyssal Human got its hands on her and ate her, it would regain more than enough strength to break through this seal. Hiding her outside the seal was an option, but we feared that she would use soul transfer to escape. Inside here, if she dared to kill herself, the result would be a permanent death.” 

Tatyana could guess where the story was going. “So, you decided to hide her under the lamp, so to speak.” 

“Yes.” Han Luan nodded. “First, the [Star Soul Heaven Seal Orb] would become the seal’s secondary formation core, and a sub-space seal. With it, we can separate them while keeping them both close enough.”

Tatyana spoke. “The Orkwa Matriarch can interact with the surroundings through the seal orb, though.” 

“Huh?” Han Luan frowned, and then she realized. Her face turned somewhat angry as she glared sideways at the eight current guardians. “If they didn’t release the orb into the wild a few thousand years earlier than intended, then the Orkwa Matriarch wouldn’t have had the strength to do it. When the Abyssal Human degrades into Abyssal Nightmare, there is a mechanism in the seal to debilitate the Orkwa Matriarch as well. By then, the Orb’s seal should’ve been enough even if you separated it.” 

The eight guardians didn’t speak, but their faces showed a touch of awkwardness. 

“We are here.” 

Han Luan extended her hand forward, and the void before them twisted. A second later, a large dome appeared where it was empty before. Within the orb, the Orkwa Matriarch’s bestial yet strangely alluring appearance appeared. 

Evelyn exclaimed. “Wow! Massive scaly tits!” 

The girls and guardians all turned to look at Evelyn, and the girl blinked innocently. “I mean, look at her. Those tits are watermelon-sized. In size alone, they are comparable to Yasenia’s!” 

The beast in front of them was very different from what they imagined it. She looked like a humanoid with greyish, scaly skin and purple marks. Although humanoid, her frontal limbs were long enough to reach the ground. 

Still, her body was alluringly shaped: wide hips, narrow waist, and impressive bust that, as Evelyn well said, protruded outward massively. Her face, while lizard-like, had soft edges and a strange, beastly allure. 

What made the girls blink in surprise is that the first thing the Orkwa Matriarch did when she saw them was not screech or fight. Instead, she leaned forward, her scaly yet soft-looking chest dangling down like a ripe fruit. At the same time, the Orkwa Matriarch raised her hips and made her long and slender tail wag. Her facial expression even softened, becoming attractive and inviting. 

The next second, all the girls were hit by a massively powerful charm energy wave. The charm she exuded was very much different from Yasenia’s, though. Since she was a being from the Abyss, her charm, when it affected the mind, didn’t grow love; it bred obsession—twisted affection and possessiveness. 

Even then, the girls and maids looked at the Orkwa Matriarch with deadpans. Yes, it was powerful. In terms of raw intensity, it even approached Yasenia’s level. But… when it came to quality, the girls only felt uncomfortable and disgusted by the twisted allure of the Orkwa Matriarch. 

The current guardians were different, though. Of the four males, three of them grunted, their waist twitching as their eyes clouded over. Of the girls, only two of them reacted, while the last three individuals barely managed to keep their wits. 

The original guardians, being energy lifeforms, were naturally unaffected. Not to mention now, even back then when the Orkwa Matriarch was a Seventh Realm powerhouse, they didn’t even flinch in her presence. 

Han Luan glanced at the guardians with disappointment. “The fact that you are having this much trouble… Look away before she does her second move. You won’t be able to resist.” 

Tatyana was observing, curious. “Second move?” 

The Orkwa Matriarch, noticing her first seduction didn’t work, arched her lips in her slightly long lizard-like yet soft snout, and then turned around while twisting her waist to keep looking their way. 

Her flexibility was… superb. In a moment, the girls were flashed by the Orkwa Matriarch’s beautiful genitals. Evelyn groaned in annoyance. “Why did you have to show me this? I mean, your breasts somewhat passed, but this is not it, girl. Put that away!” 

The girls reacted like that because they had another one in mind that looked much, much better than this one. Compared to Yasenia’s female sex, this one could only be called ordinary. To be fair, the girls were sometimes insecure about themselves because Yasenia’s female sex was just far too attractive. 

Of course, after being filled to the point that their bellies bulged with Yasenia’s specially made white cream, those insecurities disappeared. 

Tatyana rubbed her chin. “Interesting. It has been a while since I saw a seduction Abyssal lifeform. Is this why she could reproduce so easily?” 

Han Luan, ignoring the few guardians that were being pressed down by the maids after almost lunging forward with desire, spoke with admiration. “You all have incredibly powerful willpower. I am positively impressed.”

Strength and willpower didn’t really go hand in hand. There were many cases of strongmen falling to illusions and other mental attacks and mental demons. 

Kali answered with a chuckle. “It’s more accurate to say that we are accustomed to a much higher level of charm. So, this feels… cute. Like a child trying to show off?” 

Evelyn rubbed her chin. “Even then, I can say for all of the people who don’t have Yasenia, those curves truly make one want to stick it inside.” 

Andrea finally couldn’t hold back and slapped the back of her head, causing her to kiss the ground with her legs rising to the sky. “Stop ogling the monster.” 

Tatyana shook her head and looked at the original guardians. “So… How do we deal with her?” 

“Kill it. Since the Abyssal Human has died, the seal formation has already taken hold of her soul. All the power that was focused on the Abyssal Human is now focused on her. So, she is just using her last tactics. In truth, if they had the will, even the current guardians could deal with her using the Golden Guardians as shields.” 

Tatyana smiled. “It’s good that there are no more complications. Since that’s the case, can I have her?” 

“... Have her?”

Han Luan was confused. Tatyana nodded. “Abyssal Lifeforms like the Orkwa Matriarch are rare. I want to see if she can reproduce when mating with undead.” 

“... Please just kill her cleanly.” 

Tatyana blinked and pouted. “Tsk. Alright.” 

Seeing her seduction fail, the Orkwa Matriarch showed a helpless and wronged expression. She even flopped onto the ground, her eyes brimming with tears as her tail wagged pitifully. 

Tatyana looked at the girls and asked. “Any of you feel sympathy?” 

Andrea guiltily spoke. “Sorry, for a moment, I did. I’ve brushed it off by now.” 

Kali nodded. “I did as well. Just for a second, though.” 

Tatyana smiled. “That was another mental attack. It had a much stronger effect than I expected.”

“D-Don’t kill her! Isn’t she already pitiful enough!? Why are all of you so cruel?!” 

Behind them, one of the male guardians was crying and looking anxiously at the Orkwa Matriarch. Andrea took a deep breath. “Dangerous indeed. All her gestures are quite difficult to deal with.”

Han Luan chuckled, but it was a rather hollow laugh, full of complicated emotions. “At her peak, she could even speak human language. There were factions that protected her even after it was revealed what she truly was. Her soul-twisting abilities are… top-notch.” 

Angel asked, confused. “Does she truly feel what she shows? Or is it just a facade?” 

Han Luan spoke coldly. “I don’t care whether her emotions are real or not. As an Abyssal Monster that almost laid waste to an entire empire through mimicry, trusting anything coming out of her mouth or any gesture or emotion is stupidity itself. That thing needs to die, and that’s that. Even if it was tameable, even if it was truly good-hearted, even if it was forced by the Abyssal Human and now liberated… Whatever her situation, she needs to die.” 

Tatyana nodded and agreed. “Indeed. You can’t bet with Abyssal Creatures. Let’s move out.” 

Everyone activated their strength, and the Orkwa Matriarch looked around with her pitiful expression. It was truly heart-wrenching, as if she were someone who could never be understood. Her gestures, her harmless posture, her beauty—everything evoked pity and care for the creature. 

Tatyana approached her first and spoke not words of comfort. “[Fate Altering: Reality Render].” 

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Behind her, the rest of the girls and maids unleashed an absolute barrage onto her with zero mercy. Weakened as she was, the Orkwa Matriarch dodged while making whining sounds. She was shaking her head, crying, and calling to them. 

Even as she became increasingly injured.

Even as her body kept her strong because of her former Seventh Realm vitality. 

Even as her wounds opened one time and again. 

The Orkwa Matriarch never retaliated. As she looked around, anxious, she called toward them. Looking at Andrea, she shouted mournfully. Andrea, her light green eyes impassible, only answered with a single sentence. “[Dragon Rider’s Sun Lance].” 

BOOM!!

The Orkwa Matrairch crawled on the ground, trying to escape, dragging her body and looking back with crying eyes. It was less of a battle and more of a one-sided beating. 

Valeria waved her nature staff, creating vines to grip around her body and prepare her for the next attack. Evelyn descended from the sky. “[Thunderclap Decimation].” 

RUMBLE!

The spear pierced her through her chest. Evelyn landed on the other side through the hole she created. Then, she quickly jumped back.

Tatyana flashed forward, driving her hand into the closing wound. Then, with their faces incredibly close, Tatyana smiled cruelly. “[Death’s Descent].” 

Black energy surged from deep within, invading her very soul. The Orkwa Matriarch tried to reach her hand toward Tatyana, her face mournful. Tatyana, though, clenched her fist and snapped it back, jumping away and making sure she didn’t reach out. 

With that, the Orkwa Matriarch died, fully and completely.
