The First Store System

Chapter 750: Passing of Years(1)

Maria’s goal was to conquer the entirety of the world, not leaving even an inch of land for others. Since Garry had decided to stop influencing Maria’s decision, he also began to support her.

Being a prince of one of the only three Empires, Garry brought an additional strength to Maria. Before fighting any war, information was the key, so in the earlier stages of Maria’s conquest, the people behind Garry supported her.

Time flew by, and ten more years had passed in the blink of an eye.

“Surrender or die!” Maria cruelly announced.

Emperor Jannor had a pale face as he looked at his son beside his most hated enemy.

Jannor was none other than the Emperor of the Assath Empire and also Garry’s father.

“How can you let this happen? Don’t you feel shame for letting your ancestors down?” Jannor growled as he looked at his son.

Garry was set to be the crown prince, but after his mother’s death, he became a different person. At the same time, Garry’s status in the family also came down since his mother belonged to the second most influential family in the Empire.

Garry was very close to his mother, so when she died, he became an eccentric person, not caring a little bit for the throne.

After some time, Garry found out about his mother’s death not being due to disease but a scheme orchestrated by his father and his second brother. Since the murderers were his family member, he lost hope in his family and left.

Only today did he meet his father after leaving the Empire.

Maria now stood at the pinnacle of the planet, and the Assath Empire was the last Empire left for her to conquer. In the previous two wars against Empires, Maria straightaway killed the Emperor, but since the Emperor of the Assath Empire was Garry’s father, she gave him a choice.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold as she saw the Emperor growling toward her teacher. She suddenly raised the sword and brought it down, cutting the Emperor in half in a single swipe.

Garry couldn’t help but look at Maria in shock as the move was out of his expectations. But when he looked at the anger in her eyes, he calmed down and didn’t ask the question.

For Maria. Garry was her teacher, and she respected no one more than him. Anyone insulting Garry was an enemy that needed to die, even if that person was Garry’s father.

With the death of the Emperor, the reign of the Assath Empire came to an end. At the same time, ninety-nine percent of the planet also fell under her control.

Now only a few towns that Maria earlier had ignored were left.

In the next three months, Maria conquered the ignored areas and became the sole dominator of the planet.

With that, Maria became a legend on the planet, and people would sing songs and write epics for her even after millions of years.

Around six months after Maria set an Empire, she ascended to the higher world, becoming a godly figure for the planet.

Since Maria didn’t marry, she had no heirs left after her. After her ascension, her teacher Garry became the second Emperor.

While it took Maria around forty years to conquer the first world, there were already several participants that were close to conquering the mid-level world.

One such participant was Kuriati, a complete warrior in the Primal dimension but an early Level 5 in the mid-level world.

“What do you think of this place as our second base?” Kuriati asked the person floating next to her.

After reaching Level 4, people would gain a lifespan of fifteen hundred years and also be able to float.

Since Kuriati was an early Level 5, he could fly as well. The person floating next to him was his wife, Toran.

Toran was someone Kuriati had met in his native world. She had played a large role in him conquering the planet. Since they both fell in love with each other, Kuriati and Toran married, and their son became the next Emperor after they both ascended to this world.

If Kuriati was the brawn of the group, Toran was the brain, so Kuriati didn’t do anything before taking his wife’s suggestion.

Toran had a pondering face as she looked at the island below them.

Only a few days ago, Kuriati had evolved into an early Level 5 lifeform, and he had already decided to begin his goal of conquering the planet.

The power dynamics in this world were entirely different from their native world. Even an increase of sublevels in Level 5 was like evolving from an ordinary mortal to peak Level 4. The power gap between each sublevel in Level 5 was like heaven and earth, so Toran was worried about the hurriedness Kuriati was showing.

“Kuriati, I think you should wait for some more time before the beginning,” Toran gently told her husband.

“I know you are worried for me, but I have already told you, I would not stop until I have conquered everything in existence,” Kuriati laughed in response to his wife showing concern.

Toran wanted to speak, but before she could, she suddenly felt her husband’s hands tightening around her waist.

The aura around Kuriati suddenly turned frightening. Even Toran, who was unaffected by it shuddered as she looked into her husband’s eyes while they were looking at the island.

“Let’s go!” Kuriati suddenly said, and before Toran could respond, he flew away. Toran, who had her waist in the hold of her husband, also flew with him.

A moment after Kuriati left, a figure in a dark cloak appeared at the same spot.

His face was hidden from a mask as his eyes behind the mask stared in the direction the duo had left. His body was in a half-ready posture to live as if he couldn’t make up his mind on whether to follow the person or not.

In the end, the man returned to the island and decided against following the duo.

The power level of the man in the cloak fluctuated between an early and an intermediate Level 5. The man was initially an intermediate Level 5 lifeform, but due to a tragedy, his level had become unstable. The fluctuation in the man’s level was the reason behind Kuriati flying away from the island.
