Vritra returns home and reunites with his powerful subordinates, the soul wraiths, while his wives Yasmine, Teresa, and Yennefer also receive their rewards. Vritra and Yennefer decide to visit her parents' grave first, where Vritra comforts her. Afterward, they enjoy ice cream in the market before returning home, sharing a passionate kiss.

Vritra and Yennefer touched down, finding Yasmine and Teresa awaiting his arrival. He first turned his attention to Yasmine, knowing her desire to visit the dragon kingdom, acknowledging the immense effort her parents had poured into its creation. It wasn't as if all dragons were inherently malevolent; those who were had already met their end through Vritra's actions. That realm held a profound connection to so many of her memories. Her father's grave was located there, and though her mother had vanished years ago, a grave had been prepared in her honor. Despite Yasmine's reluctance to accept the possibility, the likelihood of her mother's demise was high, given the prolonged absence.

Then, Vritra’s gaze shifted to Teresa, anticipating her wish to see her own family. While he held no particular affection for most of them, it was acceptable, especially since she had undergone a transformation and was no longer someone who would permit others to wrong her.

Recalling a crucial detail, he inquired, "Tess, can you now wield your fate ability?"

"Hmm, let me see." Teresa still possessed her formidable wall ability. She had never before attempted to actively control her fate ability, which had previously allowed anyone she touched to have their misfortune transferred. However, she now felt an innate potential to select whether to absorb positive or negative destinies. Although complete mastery would still present a challenge, she recognized that her Wall ability would serve as an effective means of control.

"I can," she confirmed after careful consideration.

"That’s excellent news! Well then, let’s proceed to the dragon kingdom first. After that, we can arrange a visit to your former family," he declared, receiving nods of agreement from the two women. Yennefer, having no other pressing destinations and preferring to remain near Vritra, readily agreed to accompany them.

Boarding the blood cart, the trio embarked on their journey to the dragon realm.

[Null Activated!]

Instantly, a portal materialized before them, drawing the cart into its depths.

The succubi rejoiced at Vanessa’s return. Layla had been acting as the interim empress during her absence, managing affairs with remarkable competence. Naturally, Vanessa had no intention of reclaiming control; far more critical matters now occupied her attention. Previously, her actions had been geared towards aiding her son upon his return, but his current strength rendered such measures unnecessary. Together, their combined efforts had successfully rehabilitated Vritra’s reputation, demonstrating to the populace the extent of his contributions. He was no longer perceived as the demon they had once believed him to be.

Honestly, Vritra remained largely indifferent to public opinion, yet those close to him disliked hearing disparaging remarks about him. Diana, the former human empress, also returned to find that all was proceeding smoothly. Initial challenges had arisen, but she had already appointed trusted individuals to oversee matters in her stead, and everything had ultimately been resolved.

The phoenix race, however, experienced a mixed reception. While relieved by their empress’s return, a palpable fear permeated their community due to her notoriously ruthless nature. This time, however, to everyone’s surprise, she refrained from executing anyone.

Similarly, Maeve discovered that her organization remained stable, with the world information center functioning as usual. After ensuring that all affairs were in order, they spent a little more time before collectively deciding to rejoin Vritra.

Emerging from the teleportation portal and traversing a short distance, the blood cart finally reached the dragon kingdom. The dragon population had diminished significantly following Vritra’s earlier culling. Nevertheless, they remained one of the most formidable races on the planet Zorath. Even without their sovereign, no other races dared to provoke them. It was likely they had either elected a temporary emperor or perhaps someone had seized the opportunity to usurp the throne.

"If things hadn't gone awry, I would still be ruling this kingdom, or perhaps I'd be dead by now," Yasmine murmured wistfully.

"Well, one way or another, I am sure we would have crossed paths. Our marriage might not have been so unconventional then, though," he added, eliciting a soft giggle from the dragoness. She vividly recalled how she had cunningly maneuvered him into marrying her, finding the memory amusing in retrospect. He must have sensed something amiss, yet Vritra had lacked viable alternatives and still required the strength boost. Through that union, he gained his first wife.

"Good old days," she mused, realizing years had passed since Vritra was so young. They passed directly through the kingdom's protective shield, though many dragons quickly detected the approaching flying cart. Several guarding dragons cautiously approached, as unauthorized passage through the barrier was strictly forbidden.

"State your identity— Huh? Empress? You've returned!!" The guard instantly recognized Yasmine, his expression shifting to one of clear happiness. The other four guards also recognized her, their killing intent vanishing immediately, replaced by visible tears of emotion.

Like forlorn children tormented for months, the five men immediately dropped to their knees mid-air, erupting into sobs.

These were five grown men, and witnessing their tearful wails was profoundly unsettling.

"What troubles you?" Vritra inquired, shifting the blood-laden cart back to create space between them.

"Save us, Empress! SOB! We... we are being bullied by that insane emperor! He is mentally challenged—umph!" The dragon speaking snapped his hand over his own mouth.

He feared the emperor might overhear and inflict further beatings.

"Who is the new ruler?" Yasmine asked, her brow furrowing slightly.

"It's Omega, Drago's young cousin. He garnered support from several other races and their strongest warriors, then forcefully seized the throne," another guard explained.

Vritra cast a glance at Yasmine, curious if she had any knowledge of this newcomer.

"Oh, Omega. He was quite young back then; I don't recall much about him," she responded, sensing her husband's observant gaze.

"Indeed, he was barely noticeable. Only after your disappearance did he finally reveal his true nature," one of the guards interjected.

"In fact, when Drago was emperor, Omega vanished and went to reside with another race. From there, he began rallying support."

Then, Omega found his opportunity when Drago was slain. Soon after, Yasmine departed, and unlike other leaders, she hadn't appointed anyone to oversee the dragons in her absence.

She had been overwhelmed with anger the previous time and had rushed into the game somewhat hastily.

Consequently, Omega seized this moment to seize control of everything. Naturally, it wasn't overly difficult for him to secure allies.

Which race wouldn't desire subservience from the dragons? By controlling Omega, they could command all dragons.

One or two races might have been insufficient, but several allied races would undoubtedly present a formidable threat.

This was especially true given that most of the top warriors had perished.

"Hmm, since we are here, I suppose we shall meet him," Yennefer remarked, sensing it was time for some decisive action.

"W-Will you help us, Empress?" the five guards implored, their eyes still brimming with tears.

Their recent existence had been fraught with misery, each day a cycle of torture, pain, and unending humiliation.
