"This is outrageous, Prince Elif!" "Yes, not allowing us access is unfair!" "Yeah, who do you think you are to do such things!?" Remarked several people furiously as even more stood before Elif, who calmly eyed them while sitting on his throne.
"Oh, is that so? Then what will you all do about it?" Asked Elif calmly as he gazed at the large group of people from various backgrounds while raising an eyebrow with an unamused expression.
"What will we do about it!? Do you think yourself invincible, Prince Elif!?" Yelled a human angrily as he pointed at Elif, who curiously tapped his chin before nodding.
"No, of course not… However, among this generation? Of course, such an obvious question." Replied Elif softly with a faint smirk as he looked at the human, who furiously gnashed his teeth.
"If you all plan to stand around and talk, then leave; I've no desire to speak with any of you." Added Elif blandly as he glanced at the large group before dismissively waving his hand and closing his eyes, further angering them.
"How overbearing can you be, Prince Elif!? If you continue to act like this, you'll soon regret it!" "Yes, do you think the six other Immortal Hegemonies will let this slide?" "You may be strong among this generation, but you're beyond foolish if you think you can take on all six Hegemonies simultaneously!" Stated the large group as they glared at Elif, who remained unmoved, only for him to suddenly snap his eyes open, releasing a burst of Qi that forced everyone slightly back.
"I can act as overbearing as I please, seeing as none dared to come and stop me in the last three days; they're scared of me; it's as simple as that. Now leave, I won't say so again." Remarked Elif lightly as he eyed the large group in annoyance before narrowing his eyes, causing them to nervously grit their teeth.
Although a dumb decision, it was somewhat admirable that this group would dare to ignore my words, not that I cared whether it was admirable. With a wave of my hand, I manifested a purple palm, launching it at the group as I smacked them into the distance, injuring several, though they were lucky that I didn't kill them; my patience has slowly been getting thinner the more time passes without Sarah.
Just thinking of Sara made me impatient and angry; three days should've been more than enough time for Aurora, Cordelia, or Timat to react, yet even so, not a single one of them has come to confront me, not even Cordelia, which is weird considering Suscila had entered the dimensional rift.
'Well, maybe Elaine hasn't killed her yet; that is possible. She is probably torturing her as we speak.' Thought Elif lightly with a slightly curious expression as he rubbed his head while gazing at the dimensional rift.

"S-Stop it… Please, stop it." Said Suscila weakly as she gazed at Elaine while tied to a tree, her cultivation destroyed, leaving her helpless.
"Hehe, stop it? No, I'm still enjoying myself… I told you, didn't I? Brother was just toying with you; the one he loves is me and me alone… Now watch." Stated Elaine with a smirk as she leaned into Suscila's face with a maddened expression before grabbing her head and forcing her to gaze at the projection.
Forcefully keeping her eyes open, I forced her to watch Brother's and I's lovemaking for the fourth time, slowly chipping away at her sanity as she was forced to accept that she was nothing but a tool to Brother. It filled me with pride and joy to break such a stupid, gullible woman.
"Hehe, do you know what this is, Suscila? This is Brother's semen… His love." Asked Elaine with a faint smirk as she summoned a jar full of a viscous white liquid, while Elaine removed the lid, allowing the potent musk to waft about the forest before entering Suscila's nose.
Using a spoon, I scooped a small amount out, marveling at how thick and viscous Brother's love always is before feeding it to Suscila, watching with a smirk as her eyes briefly lit up.
"Fufu, it's delicious, right?" Asked Elaine with a faint smirk as she looked at Suscila, who subconsciously nodded while gazing at the jar.
"Hehe, well, you will get no more; I just wanted you to know the taste you'll never EVER get to have." Added Elaine with a wicked smile as she tossed the spoon toward Suscila while drinking straight from the jar, while her moans resounded from the projection behind her.
"I love you, Sister… I love you." Said Elif softly as he passionately kissed Elaine while gently making love to her, causing Suscila's eyes to return to their originally hollow and listless state.
Seeing Suscila return to her previous state, I clicked my tongue and stopped the projection; the first few hours of her torturing her were the best since she vehemently refused to accept what she witnessed, believing Brother truly loved her, but after she finally came to realize Brother had just been toying with her, it's all been downhill from there.
'There is no fun in torturing someone without a reaction from them.' Thought Elaine blandly as she looked at Suscila while closing the now half-empty jar before storing it within her dimension ring.
Grabbing the small tree branch from the waist, I touched Suscila with it, causing a golden fish scale to emerge from her body as it and my tree branch entered a contest of strength. They were both our life-protecting treasures given to us, so while they could not attack, they were capable of canceling each other out, allowing us to truly kill each other, since otherwise, I'll, at best, destroy her body, not her soul.
Suscila herself hardly reacted to this action, most likely having already accepted death, which was fine with me; summoning Orcus from my dimension ring, I didn't hesitate or waste any time as I sliced Suscila in half vertically in one swift motion.
"E-Eli-" Muttered Suscila weakly as her body died while her soul exited her body, confusing Elaine.
'Tsk, oh yeah, it's basically impossible to kill a soul within the Aether Realm.' Thought Elaine in slight annoyance as she gazed at Suscila's soul before summoning a small orb from her dimension ring.
Forcing Suscila's soul into the orb, I entered my dimension ring before crushing the orb that contained her soul, destroying it along with her soul, which dissipated into nothingness. Smiling in satisfaction at the death of yet another woman who dared to try and get in between Brother and I, I brushed aside my hair while exiting the dimensional ring, only to see the golden fish scale lose its luster before dropping to the ground.
Raising my hand, I grabbed the small tree branch and holstered it onto my waist while storing Orcus in my dimension ring as I vanished into the void, flying towards the exit as I was sure it wouldn't take long for someone from the Immortal Ocean clan to notice Suscila had died.
'Hmm, I should've mutilated her body… Oh well.' Thought Elaine with a slight frown as she rubbed her chin, only to shrug her shoulders.

As a few more hours passed, with no one except a few insignificant figures coming to harass me, I started to grow annoyed; it's one thing to do as you please, yet it's another thing to do so with no one daring to challenge your authority. Let alone Aurora, Tiamat, or Cordelia; not even the three heirs from the other hegemonies dared to step up.
However, something interesting finally began to happen as I sensed several cultivators forcefully expelling their Qi flying towards the dimensional rift, though what caught my attention was the person at the front.
'Cordelia? Hehe, Elaine must've finally killed Suscila; good, something should happen now.' Thought Elif with a faint smirk as he positioned his floating throne above the dimensional rift, which had formed a line.
As I at above the dimensional rift with Maxim and Mandy on either-side of me, I watched as Cordelia, along with an entourage of guards, approached the dimensional rift, the constant expelling of their powerful Qi pushing everyone aside, though none dared to open their mouth as all could sense the graveness of the matter.
"Ho, Cordelia, what a pleasant surprise; come here for something?" Asked Elif with a faint smirk as he gazed down at Cordelia, who was beyond furious.
"Move, Elif, or I'll kill you." Stated Cordelia with venom as she glared at Elif, who simply grinned at her words in amusement.
"Oh, you're quite mad… Did you perhaps lose someone important?" Asked Elif with a mischievous grin as he gazed at Cordelia, who responded with a mighty sword slash that cut through the water with immense speed.
Summoning Hokori, I stood up and blocked her attack, noting that it was slightly more potent than usual. This was no surprise, as Atlanteans are slightly stronger within their natural habitat. Still, it wouldn't be quite enough to beat me.
"YOU! You killed Suscila!?" Exclaimed Cordelia through gnashed teeth as she glared at Elif with teary eyes, causing him to raise an eyebrow before shaking his head.
"No, I didn't, Cordelia. You see, unlike you, I have pride and would never do such a lowly thing…" Replied Elif solemnly with a shake of his head, causing Cordelia to be slightly taken aback at his words.
"... However, the same can't be said for Elaine." Added Elif with a faint smirk as he eyed Cordelia, who tightly clenched her sword.
