Chapter 180 - THE COUPLE LOVE

đź‘‘ASTRAL KINGDOM--PEACEFUL AFTERNOON... The Kingdom was alive with warmth. Laughter echoed. Couples talked softly. Friends teased each other. Ryder and Ryuu were deep in conversation about patrol routes. Void ling stood quietly, hands in his pockets, watching everyone with a faint smile. And then he turned to his buddy. Blaze Vortex.

Void ling:

(Calm, relaxed)

"Blaze...mind following me to check the kingdoms? It's been a while since i saw the kingdoms? It's been a while since i saw the kings, queens, and their surbordinates."

Blaze:

(Hands behind his head)

"A meeting can be arranged between you and the rulers. If possible. It's about time anyway."

Void ling:

(Smirked)

"Yep."

He stepped forward and raised his voice. And then spoke.

Void ling:

(Loud, commanding)

"Everyone."

All:

(Instantly)

"SIRE!!!"

Void ling:

(Serious)

"Blaze and I are going to visit the kingdoms. We'll check how the Kings and Queens are doing.

Zero:

(Curious)

"Your Highness...What happened to the Crimson Slayers Kingdom?"

Void ling looked at General Ryder. And Ryder sighed, stepping forward and spoke.

Ryder:

(Serious, explaining)

"The Crimson Slayers Kingdom...once ruled by me...was removed from the Astral Kingdom system because we all quit, I quit to serve Lord Void ling. Even my subordinates quitted. So the kingdom was erased from the 'Astral Registry'."

Millim:

(Raised her hands)

"My lord...do you think you can bring the kingdom back?"

Void ling:

(Calm, wise)

"Restoring a kingdom requires stability, loyalty, and a foundation. The Crimson Slayers have none left. Even if i rebuilt it, is not gonna be perfect and will collapse again. Some things are better left erased."

Thalorien:

(Nodded)

"My lord, it's fine. No need to bring it back."

Rexius:

(Smirked, evil)

"Agreed, Thalorien-sama."

Nara:

(Smirked)

"It's better this way."

Xerion:

(Stepping forward)

"How many kingdoms remain in the Astral Universe now that Crimson Slayers is gone?"

Void ling:

(firm)

"Five Kingdoms."

Luneth:

(Turned to ryder)

"How long were you in that kingdom, General Ryder?"

Ryder:

(Firm)

"Four to five years."

Void ling:

(Turning around)

"We should get going before the sun comes down."

Blaze:

(Turned to Ryder)

"You are in charge, "General Ryder."

Ryder:

(Smiled)

"I know, "Successor Blaze."

⚡️Scene: The Emperor and Successor Depart.. Void ling and Blaze vanished instantly--not like teleportation, but like the wind itself swallowed them. A ripple of air. A distortion of space-time. A faint echo. As they were gone. Outside.. Void ling and Blaze flew side by side. The sky was clear. The wind was cool. The world below sparkled.

Void ling:

(Smiling)

"The weather is really nice today, isn't it, Blaze?"

Blaze:

(Smirking)

"Yeah. Perfect for a kingdom tour."

They accelerated. Blaze left behind a blazing trail of fire. Void ling left behind a swirling trail of purple-black void energy. Their combined speed tore through the skies like two comets racing.

🌸Scene: Seraphina & Liana--Backyard of the Palace. Seraphina and Liana sat on a soft blanket in the backyard garden, sipping tea.

Seraphina:

(Smiling softly)

"You know...love is strange. It makes you stronger. And weaker. And happier. all at the same time."

Liana:

(Giggles)

"Blaze is my love for life. No matter how chaotic things get...he's my anchor."

Seraphina:

(Blushed deeply)

"Void ling...he's everything to me. When he holds my hand, I felt like the universe melt away. When he smiles...I forgot every worry. I'd choose him in every lifetime."

Liana:

(Laughing)

"Your love for your husband is unbreakable."

⚔️Scene: Vast Empty Land--Xun vs. Blazion Training. Aria stood her arms crossed, watching the two warriors warm up.

Aria:

(Warning)

"Try not to fight too hard, guys."

Xun:

(Smirked)

"No promises."

Blazion:

(Smirked)

"Let see what you've got."

They clashed. BOOM-!! Fist met fist. Shockwaves tore through the ground. They telported around each other, exchanging blows faster than light could follow.

Suddenly. Xun fired multiple beams--each traveling at the speed of light. Blazion inhaled--FWOOOSH-!!--and burned the beamed to nothing.

Xun:

(Impressed)

"Not bad for a guy who can burn a light-speed attack to ashes."

Blazion:

(Grinning)

"You thought I wouldn't react to something that slow?"

Aria:

(Sighed)

"You two are insane..."

Xun:

(Smirked)

"One final attack."

Blazion:

(Same tone)

"Bring it on."

Aria:

(Sighed)

"Oh god...they're going to destroy this land..."

Xun opened his palm. A massive black sphere formed--crackling with black lightning. And Aria spoke.

Aria:

(Shocked)

"What the hell is that?!"

Xun:

(Smiled)

"I called this...the Aazil End."

Blazion:

(Smirked)

"Then I'll use Weighr Crush. I can control gravitational forces--create black holes, increase gravity, crush anything."

The two attack collided. BOOOOOM-!!! The Entire forest completely vanished. the battlefield turned into complete nothingness. Even the solar system trembled and cracked from the shockwave. White smoke filled the air. Aria stepped forward.

Aria:

(Deadpan)

"That's all for today. Look at what you two just did."

Xun:

(Sweat)

"Well..."

Blazion:

(Shrugging)

"Could've been worse."

đź‘‘Scene: Arrival at the Five Kingdoms. Void ling and Blaze landed at the Grand courtyard. Instantly--

THE GËNËSIS SQUAD.

THE HEXAGRAM APEX.

THE PHANTOM ALLIANCE.

THE CHAOS SHADOWS.

THE PHOENIX WRATH.

--All appeared and bowed deeply. King Kaito of the Gënësis Kingdom stepped forward.

King Kaito:

(Bowing)

"Pleased to meet you, Void ling--sama. What brings you here today?"

Void ling:

(Hands in pockets, aura calm)

"I came to check on the kingdoms...to see how the Kings, queens, and their surbordinates are doing. It's been a while since I visited."

The Rest of the Kings nodded respectfully. The Emperor's tour had begun 🌜🌛The Emperor & Empress--A Night of Pure Devotion. After the Meeting, Void ling and Blaze had meeting with the Kings and Queens and the Kingdoms. The entire scene shifted to Evening.

The Evening wrapped around the Astral Palace like velvet. Lanterns glowed softly. The world outside quieted. Only the sound of warm water and gentle steam filled the private imperial sauna. Void ling and Seraphina slipped into the hot spring together, the water glosing faintly with Astral light.

Seraphina rested her head on his husband Void ling's shoulder, her hair floating like sliver silk in the water. Her breath his skin. Her presence softened the entire universe. Void ling looked at her--the woman who studied him,completely him, healed him--and spoke in a voicd so gentle it barely existed.

Void ling:

(Flustered)

"Babe...when I'm with you like this...I always wanna do something with you... and am always inlove with you."

Seraphina's eyes widened. She lifted her head slowly, cheeks glowing from the steam and his words. And then Seraphina spoke.

Seraphina:

(Blushing deeply)

"Sweetheart...what did you just say...?"

Void ling:

(Flustered, looking away)

"I..didn't mean to say it out loud.."

Seraphina smiled with blushness--a soft, warm, heart--melting smile--and moved closer. She reached to Void ling's hands, gently and took it, and placed it on her boobs. Her skin was warm. Void ling's touch on Seraphina boobs, squeezing it over and over again. This made Seraphina feels the sensation. Void ling's heart stumbled. Seraphina leaned into him again, her forehead brushing his jaw.

Seraphina:

(Whispering, voice trembling with love)

"Honey...you don't ever have to hide your heart from me. Whatever you feel... whatever you want... I'll always do it for you."

Void ling turned his head away, overwhelmed. Seraphina followed him, leaning closer, her lips brushing his cheek.

Seraphina:

(Soft, blushing hard)

"Sweetheart...can I tell you something...?"

Void ling turned towards her--and before she could finish he kissed her. A slow, warm, impossibly gentle kiss. The kind that melts the soul. The kind that says everything without words. Seraphina's face turned extremely red. Void ling grabbed Seraphina's boobs while kissing. Squeezing it as Void ling's face burned with embarrassment. Both of them, hearts was all in romance. In perfect rhythm.

Seraphina:

(Blushing too hard)

"You are squeezing too hard, Babe.."

Void ling:

(Flustered and apologized)

"Am sorry sweetheart!!."

They pulled back, breathless, staring at each other through the rising steam. Seraphina covered her face with both hands. Blushing too hard. Her fingers shy finger-twiddling.. and then spoke.

Seraphina:

(Flustered, voice shaking)

"I...I--Do you...thin-k you could um---"

Void ling peeked through her fingers, eyes shimmering. Void ling was blushing but also smiled. As she knew what her wife wanted tk say

Void ling:

(Quiet, blushing)

"Say it. Whatever it is... I wanna hear it babe."

Void ling was waiting as he was blushing and then Seraphina took a deep breath. And then Seraphina spoke again.

Seraphina:

(Voice trembling, blushing)

"I was going to say that.. can we go back to the room-- to hav--e more... fun..? And moreover being here with you.. like this... so close.. makes me feel like I could spend every night in your arms and never want the world to start again. Because when I'm with you... I feel like---"

She stopped, too flustered to continue. Void ling leaned his forehead against hers, closing her eyes. And then he spoke.

Void ling:

(Soft, full of love)

"I know. And I feel the same."

Seraphina's hands slowly lowered. she wrapped her arms around him. Resting her head against his chest. As Seraphina closed her eyes. The steam rose around them. The water glowed softly. Two hearts rested together--the Emperor and Empress, bound by a love deeper than the void, stronger than destiny, gentler than starlight.

A moment that belonged only to them.

A moment that could never be broken.

🌜🌛Scene: The Emperor's Vow Under the Silent Stars. Seraphina's breathing softened... her eyelids fluttered... and slowly, gently, she fell asleep on Void ling's chest--her head rising and falling with every calm breath he took. Void ling looked down at her with a tenderness he showed to no one else.

He slipped on arm under her legs, the other behind her back. And lifted her effortlessly--as if she weighed nothing, as if she were the most precious thing in the universe. The palace halls were quiet as he carried her through them. Moonlight followed him like a loyal companion. He entered their room. The moment he stepped inside, the atmosphere softened--warm, peaceful, sacred. Void ling lowered Seraphina onto the bed with infinite care, as though placing a star back into the sky. He pulled the blanket over her, tucking it gently around her shoulders. Then he leaned down, brushed a strand of hair from her face, and whispered.

Void ling:

(Soft, loving)

"Goodnight, honey..."

He turned off the lights. The Astral Universe fell silent. The Kingdom slept. Only the stars remained awake.

🌌Scene: The Emperor Alone with his Thoughts. Void ling sat in a large, comfortable chair near the window--the kind of chair only an Emperor could make look intimidating. His posture was relaxed, but the aura around him was overwhelming. A quiet, regal dominance.

His eyes glowed a deep, dangerous purple--reflecting the starlight, reflecting his power, reflecting the weight of the multiverse of his shoulders. He sat like a king carved from shadow and starlight--calm, unshakable, terrifying beautiful. He watched the stars... then turned his gaze to Seraphina sleeping peacefully on the bed. Voice low and soft.

Void ling:

(Quiet, full of love)

"My lovely sweetheart... I will forever protect you and our children. Nothing will every separate us--not fate, not destiny, not even the universe itself. I will defeat Reina Amethyra... and i will bring peace to every realm.

He didn't know Seraphina was half-awake. Her lips moved softly, her voice barely a whisper. And then spoke.

Seraphina:

(Sleeping, gentle)

"You're forever mine, babe... goodnight..."

Void ling froze for a moment--then seraphina smiled, the kind of smile only she could draw from him. The stars shimmered. The universe holds it breath. And then episode ended in perfect silence.
