Kaiju Maker in Another World

--- Chapter 54 ---

Back to the Silver Moon Hotel.

Yu Long's parents, grandparents, and Lan Shirou are chatting with each other. However, when they learned that the Sunflower Dew Empire sent an army to Silver Lake City, the Blue Wind Empress was dumbfounded.

"Eh, the Sunflower Dew Empire sent an army to us?" Lan Shirou blinked her eyes in disbelief. 

"The seven nations should have a peace treaty... Even if there was a conflict, it's not to the point of sending an army." 

"Blue Wind Empire has been declining these years. The other nations didn't take us seriously anymore..." Her expression darkened.

As the Empress, Lan Shirou knows the politics in the Profound Sky Continent. 

"What if the conflict was related to the son of the Sunflower Dew Empire's monarch?" Cang Yue stared at her mother.

"Gui Wanli's son..." Lan Shirou frowned slightly. 

"Ling Ke." Yu Long glanced at the manager of this place and continued eating his lunch.

Ling Ke nodded and stepped forward, "Hello, Empress." 

"I'll tell you the baseline of the story." 

"Actually... Around ten days ago."

Lan Shirou and Cang Yue listened attentively. They couldn't believe their ears for a moment because this woman actually threatened the son of the Sunflower Dew Empire's monarch.

But she did have the power to back her action.

"This is tough. I can use my status as an empress to make them give us some face." Lan Shirou placed her hand on her chin and pondered something. 

"Still, it won't guarantee peace between Silver Lake City and the army." 

"Shirou, are you planning to lower your head for us?" Xu Nannan asked with a helpless expression.

Cang Yue thought the same as her mother, but she recalled Yu Long and others didn't show any panic. They are still enjoying their lunch as if the incoming army is nothing.

"Is there any other way?" Lan Shirou returned solemnly. "If my memory serves me right, the army sent by the Sunflower Dew Empire's monarch was most likely led by a Tyrant Profound Realm Expert." 

"An Overlord! Such a powerhouse, even the Four Great Sect in the Blue Wind Empire couldn't fight them." 

"Aih..." Xu Sanshan sighed while giving Lan Shirou a pitiful look.

"The fate of the weak." 

"Whimper in fear, not even knowing its surroundings." 

"Well, it can't be helped when the Blue Wind Empire is ignorant of the outside world." 

"Empress... No, Lan Shirou. Let me give you a small piece of advice. Raise your head from now on." 

"Because you are one of us!" Xu Sanshan said, releasing his cultivation base.

Swoosh!

Xu Nannan, Yu Zhan, and Yu Xin also released their cultivation base. The pressure swirled in the dining room and caused turbulence that shocked Cang Yue and Lan Shirou.

Lan Shirou held her breath. She couldn't believe the terrifying pressure she felt at the moment.

It felt like Lan Shirou was dreaming. But she knew very well this was reality.

"We are not your ordinary family, empress." Watching Lan Shirou and Cang Yue's shocked expression, Yu Xin giggled while covering her mouth with her palm. 

"And we never showed our cultivation base because it was too eye-catching." 

Yu Zhan nodded and added, "As long as we have Yu Long, there is nothing we should be afraid of."

"An Overlord? Tyrant Profound Realm Expert? The three women standing beside him are 'Overlords' too, you know?" 

"They what?" Lan Shirou and Cang Yue glanced at Yu Long, who was savoring his steak.

"What?" Yu Long was about to eat his steak.

Cang Yue's lips trembled as she realized that Hong Guan and Lily, who had been on her side all this time, were Overlords. 

'The manager... Ling Ke, the Silver Lake City's Lord.' Lan Shirou thought otherwise.

'Then, just how strong is Yu Long?' The mother and daughter glanced at each other in realization. They didn't realize just how mysterious Yu Long was.

He didn't just heal Lan Shirou's illness but even gave them a chance to become profound practitioners.

"What are you planning to do with them?" As the Blue Wind Empress, Lan Shirou gained her composure quickly, unlike her daughter.

"Hmm, teach them a lesson? That sounds about right." Yu Long answered nonchalantly.

He smiled a little and added, "Do you want to watch? I'll prepare the front seat for you and Sister Xueruo." 

How confident.

And the front seat? As if the incoming army is nothing to him.

The more the mother and daughter thought about it, the more they were 'slowly' caught in limbo.

In the end, they agreed.

...

After lunch, they went to the south gate of Silver Lake City and stood above the city wall. 

Ling Ke and Guwei are ordering some people, waiting for the Sunflower Dew Empire to come. 

"Hehe, I thought you wouldn't come out?" Ling Ke flashed a smile to the middle-aged dwarf.

Guwei frowned and answered, "I just want to see those idiots suffer." 

"Sure, sure, I believe in you, Number 8." Ling Ke giggled and spread her senses. "And... Done."

"The preparation is complete." 

"Silver Lake City's array formation has been activated. No one could enter or leave for fifteen minutes." 

"Fifteen minutes?" Guwei raised his eyebrows. "As expected of Lord Shadow, he likes to play around with his food." 

"Are you criticizing him?" Ling Ke returned casually.

"No, I like him this way. Sending horror to an enemy is much better than defeating them instantly." Guwei shrugged and placed a cigar into his mouth.

He snapped his finger and burned the cigar's tip, "Hmm, I wonder if he gonna enter the battlefield." 

"Who knows?" 

At the city wall, seats are 'actually' prepared for Yu Long and his companions. They even have a bucket of popcorn and soda each.

Xia Qingyue sipped the cola, and her eyes lit up. "Fascinating, this cold beverage is popping in my mouth... It is also sweet and refreshing." 

"We have been in Silver Lake City for over a week, but I didn't know this existed?" 

"You can only drink this on special occasions." Yu Long answered with a teasing smile. "Or else you'll get addicted." 

"Hmm..." Xia Qingyue pouted slightly.

Everyone also gets the taste of popcorn and soda. 

They are amazed.

"Salty and sweet, such a good combination." Yu Xin commented in delight.

"Look, they are here." Xu Sanshan warned them.

From several miles away, a cloud of dust is approaching Silver Lake City.

A calvary of thousands is 'bravely' led by three Sky Profound Realm Experts and one Tyrant Profound Realm Expert.

The leader is a middle-aged man in green armor, flying at a rapid pace. He has long white hair and a goatee.

As they reached the last kilometer, the leader opened his mouth and shouted, "SILVER LAKE CITY'S LORD, COME AND REPENT FOR YOU SIN!" 

"That's General Ji." Lan Shirou recognized the middle-aged man in the green man. "He's one of the Sunflower Dew Empire's generals and is over 900 hundred years old, I believe." 

"2nd Level of the Tyrant Profound Realm." Xu Sanshan commented in disappointment.

"Ling Ke, go on." Yu Long lazily said.

Ling Ke glanced at Yu Long and nodded, floating to the sky gently. 

She stared at the middle-aged man in green armor and responded sarcastically, "Geez, you're too loud." 

"First, you're coming uninvited and acting obnoxiously." 

General Ji seethed in anger, "SILVER LAKE CITY'S LORD!" 

"YOU HAVE CRIPPLED FOUR ROYAL GUARDS, SIX GREAT NOBLE HEIR, AND THE PRINCE OF THE SUNFLOWER DEW EMPIRE!" 

"HOW DO YOU PLEAD?!"

"THE CRIMES YOU COMMITTED ARE BEYOND PARDON!" 

"JUST ADMIT YOUR GUILT AND ACCEPT YOUR PUNISHMENT!"

Ling Ke smiled and shrugged, "Crimes? Guilt? Punishment?" 

"Why don't you come and get me to repent then? I'd like to see the power of the Sunflower Dew Empire's General." 

"Arrogant! How arrogant!" The soldiers below shouted at her.

General Ji growled and released immense pressure, shaking the atmosphere slightly. 

"Even if I have to make you lose some limbs, I'll bring you down with me to the empire..." 

"Soldier, attack! Destroy Silver Lake City." 

SWOOSH!

Ling Ke watched General Ji coming for her. He has a feral look on his face, probably wishing nothing but to rip her apart.

'How ridiculous.' Ling Ke shook her head gently. 

'As Lord Shadow said... This world is gray. There is no white or black.' 

'History is written by the victors!'

"DIE!" General Ji sent a palm attack, causing a flower-like energy blast to fly away.

"17th Layered Array Formation." Ling Ke hovered calmly, not moving even an inch.

"Activate..."
