CHAPTER 66:NEW EMPRESS

"Listen, The progenitors of the Nubis race are the demons and the Neytiris. This miss here is a demon. A demon with special talent" Zadkiel explained

Everywhere became silent that you could even hear a pin drop

All the cabinet members knelt before her

"We greet you Empress Azrael" They echoed in Unison

"With the people of Arata as witnesses, I will present the signet ring and the staff of authority to our new empress," Zadkiel said

After handing Jia these Items, he bowed and left.

Everyone stared at her in awe

Jia cleared her throat and conjured up something to say

"I am the new supreme ruler of Arata. I'm not going to be a despotic person. We will work together and make Arata great" Jia said, her voice laced with charisma

The people all clapped and cheered

"Enjoy the party," Jia said and followed in Zadkiel's direction

Zadkiel was facing the wall

"Azrael, I leave Arata in your hands. Do not ruin it. I have one last place to take you to" Zadkiel said, holding Jia's hand and disappeared

They reached the deepest point in Arata. Rich deposits of Colysi were present there

"Try to absorb it," Zadkiel said

Jia concentrated and started to absorb the Colysi rapidly

Several blasting sounds were heard

The yin-yang dragon roared and came out of Jia's body. It started to absorb the Colysi too

FEW DAYS LATER

[Ding! The host has leveled up 10

The demonic yin-yang dragon has advanced to grade 3]The system announced

"Level 75. Colysi is Op." Jia murmured

Surprisingly, she found Zadkiel standing there without a care in the world

"Good job kid" Zadkiel praised

He held Jia's hand and they reappeared at the throne room

He told her some important secrets

"Give me a befitting burial... Something big is coming to the universe. I hope you can do something" Zadkiel said before giving up the ghost

Jia went back to the crowd

"People of Arata, His royal majesty is dead" Jia announced sadly

"He shall be buried in the Valley of Kings. May he have a good journey in Waja" Jia said solemnly

Everyone had one or two tears in their eyes

THE THRONE ROOM

Jia was having her first council meeting with the members of the cabinet and it was proving frustrating

"Reporting to Lady Azrael, The vassals are demanding autonomy" One of the council members spoke

"This cannot be possible because they already have a large army and it's most likely they're trying to revolt" He continued

"Can't we just eliminate the vassal lords" Jia suggested calmly

They appeared to be confused

"Don't tell me that you guys have no hired guns in Arata" Jia said with a sneer

"My lady, we don't" Szayel said

Jia facepalmed

"Give me the locations, I'll take care of that," Jia said

" Reporting to Lady Azrael, the Shura are here for their yearly 'competition ' " Szayel said with worry

"What yearly competition," Jia asked cluelessly

" The Shura organize a so-called yearly competition in the name of peace. All royal borns have to participate in it. The Shura is based in Anka " Szayel explained

"So why can't we defeat the shura?I mean, there's Colysi" Jia asked undaunted

"All royal Shura are born Super strong. It's like a bloodline buff. They also have a Shura transformation which can make them several times bigger and stronger. Several royal borns have been killed over the years which is why it was just the late lord Zadkiel and Zara. Zadkiel was poisoned by the Shura. They put a soul-eating parasite in him. They also caused Zara not to awaken " The Strategist(Szayel) answered

"So you mean that the Shura are stronger than us? The strong don't pick on the weak. Why are they bothering us" Jia asked

"Empress Azrael, It's because of Colysi. They're interested in Colysi. Also, Arata contains a special mineral called Adamantine. It is very rare" The chief advisor answered

Jia had a smirk on her face

Suddenly a shura entered

It had two purple horns on its blue hair.It had a humanoid pale white-skinned body

"We heard that you guys have a new ruler. Here's something for you" The Shura said disappearing

It dropped a box

Jia opened the box and inside it were different kinds of critters Jia had never seen before

She condensed a fireball and blew the box into pieces

"Damn you" Jia muttered

The council members were in shock

"I will be going to Anka in a few days. The Shura visited me. It will only be fair for me to reciprocate" Jia said disappearing

The council members stared at her afterimage in awe
