Chapter 561 - Chapter 561: No More Hiding

"It is time."

Ding!

[Lilith's protective barrier: 00:09:59]

I glanced at the timer floating above my vision. Less than ten minutes.

After ten minutes, the world will know of my existence. And they will come.

But I'm ready for them.

Standing on top of the city walls, behind me was an army of my children.

Ten thousand fully armed wolf-kin, their fur gleaming under the sun. They stood in perfect formation, their weapons—swords, axes, and spears forged from demonic steel and bathed in my blood magic—held with grim determination. Behind them, three thousand elven archers, their arrows fletched with raven feathers and tipped with a paralytic poison, nocked and ready.

To the right side, the centaur cavalry stomped their hooves, their powerful bodies covered in steel barding. And to the left, the minotaur phalanx stood like a wall of muscle and horn, their massive shields bearing the sigil of their unit, a crimson axe.

At the far back were the medical and support units, my holstaur daughters and my rabbit-kin daughters, the former ready to provide healing milk and the latter ready to assist with nature magic.

Goblins, fox-kin, arachne, succubi, my beloved children, all ready to fight and die for me.

On the walls themselves, the Harbingers of Silence took their positions, spears and shields at the ready, their stoic faces hidden behind their black helmets. They are my elite guard, the symbol of my authority; they will be the first line of defense.

Mixed with them were the mage units, my elven, wolf-kin, and goblin daughters, their hands crackling with elemental energy. 

In the sky above, two hundred of my Valkyrie daughters circled, their wings beating in unison, their spears glowing with a faint silver light. They were my angels of death, my reapers.

It was a beautiful sight. A symphony of destruction, all ready to sing for me.

"You're late," Vicky's cool, firm voice cut through my thoughts. She was standing beside me, clad in her black and crimson armor, her draconic presence a palpable force that made the air crackle. "I was about to start the party without you."

"Hehehe... Sorry, I had to deal with some... family matters," I said, my gaze fixed on the horizon. "Is everything ready?" 

"Everything is ready," she replied, her crimson eyes scanning the horizon. "The second barrier is stable. The army is in position. I have personally overseen the installation of the final runic sequences. Our home is now a fortress."

"How about that village of yours?"

Vicky's latest idea was to build a village at the northern borders of the forest; that's the only entrance to our land, and Vicky wanted to have a village there to act as a hub for any traveler or mercenary and also as a way to slowly introduce our existence to the world without shocking them too much.

"It's being built as we speak," she said, a small, satisfied smirk on her lips. "The foundation is laid, and the first few houses are already up. I've also sent a detachment of our Harbingers of Silence to establish a permanent garrison there. They will be the face of our new nation."

"Good," I said, a small smile playing on my lips. "Well done, sis." 

"By the way," Vicky said, slowly turning to me with a mischievous smirk. "Did you like my surprise?"

The surprise Vicky talked about was actually a pleasant surprise. I expected a dildo or a humiliating gangbang, but instead, she re-created something I had back on Earth.

My old noble countess attire, down to the last stitch.

It was a gift that all of my family members shared with me on Earth for my 17th birthday. A gift that I treasured and wore with pride for years.

The black cloak was a gift from Father Vlad.

The wolf-pelt mantle was a gift from my grandpa Dmitri; he hunted that wolf himself.

The black leather boots were from my aunt, Maria.

The white top and black pants were a gift from my mother, Veronica; she sewed them herself.

The leather belt was a gift from my stoic uncle, Alexander.

And the silver wolf-head brooch that held the cloak was a gift from my twin sister, Vicky. She made it herself. 

I don't know how she got it or how she re-created it, but she did. And for that, I'm... grateful. It was a reminder of who I was. Of who I am.

"It was... thoughtful," I said, my voice softer than I intended. "Thank you."

For the first time since I came to this world, I wore clothes that fully hid my body. I was a countess again, not a breeding goddess. The familiar weight of the cloak and the mantle on my shoulders brought a strange sense of comfort. A sense of normalcy.

"You're welcome, my dear sister," she said, her smirk softening into a genuine smile. "I just wanted to remind you that you're not just a goddess. You're a Nosferat. And we don't back down from a fight."

"I know," I said, my hand resting on the hilt of my sword. "But still, a part of me is worried. The gods... they won't be an easy opponent." 

"Let them come," Vicky said, her voice cold and confident. "The more powerful they are, the bigger the explosion when we kill them. My new dragon fire has a... divine aspect to it now, thanks to you. It should be able to burn even their pretty wings."

"Hehehe... I wonder if it can burn an archangel's halo," I mused, my gaze fixed on the horizon.

"We can test it later," she said, her eyes gleaming with a deadly light. "For now, let's enjoy the show."

I nodded, my attention drawn back to the horizon. The air was thick with tension.

Lilith's barrier is about to fall. However, there was a second barrier, the one that came with my land, the breeding barrier.

Using breeding points and my shop, Vicky bought the entire land that existed inside the protective barrier. The entire forest spanned two million square kilometers.

Everything inside Lilith's barrier is now mine, and thanks to that, my personal breeding barrier would replace Lilith's after ten minutes. My barrier is weaker; it cannot hide my divine aura from the gods, but it will do for the time being.

"This is it," Vicky said, her voice a low growl. "The end of our hiding. The beginning of our era."

Ding! 

[Lilith's protective barrier: 00:00:05]

[00:00:03]

[00:00:02]

[00:00:01]

[00:00:00]

The moment the timer hit zero, a cracking sound echoed in the sky. The sky that was once a single solid color cracked like an egg, shards of light falling like rain. And then, with a deafening roar, it shattered.

For a moment, the world was silent. The birds stopped singing. The wind stopped blowing. Even the sounds of my army, the clanking of armor, the shuffling of feet, it all faded away.

Then, like a beast that has been chained for too long, my divine aura exploded outward, a wave of pure, unadulterated power that washed over the world.

I could feel the world's consciousness, the planet itself, reacting to my presence. I could feel the demon gods in their far-off realms, their attention drawn to me like moths to a flame.

They knew I was here.

"Hehehe... they know," I chuckled, a wicked grin spreading across my face. "The whole world knows we are here."

Not just my divine aura, but the World Tree also exploded with a green pillar of light, a beam of pure life energy that shot into the heavens, a beacon for all to see.

"Well, at least we don't have to introduce ourselves," Vicky said, a smirk playing on her lips.

"Indeed," I said, my eyes scanning the horizon. "But I don't like their gaze."

Without the barrier to hide me, I was now an open book. The gaze of the demon gods was on our land now. 

"Let me poke their eyes," I muttered. Suddenly, flying in the sky above my city, the black cloak that father gifted me fluttered in the wind.

No more hiding, no more holding back.

I spread my arms wide and fully released my divine aura. The aura of a silver-rank goddess. And with the connection that I have with the world's core, everyone in the world will feel my presence. The mortals, the beasts, the demons, and the gods.

"From this day forth, this world is mine!" I roared, my voice amplified by my divine power, echoing across the entire continent. "I am Morgana Nosferat. The Mother of All. The Goddess of Breeding, Blood, War, and Night. Bow before me, or be erased from existence!"

My words were not just words. They were a declaration of war. A challenge to every power that ruled this world.

I could feel the fear, the confusion, the anger. I could feel the prayers of the mortals, the curses of the demons. And I could feel the cold, calculating gaze of the gods.

"This should keep them busy for a while," I said, landing back on the wall, a triumphant grin on my face.

"You're insane," Vicky said, but she was smiling. "I love it."

"Hehehe... now we wait."
