Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

Within the Dome, Selina finally stood to her feet and she no longer kept her mystifying look, rather she grinned,

"Well, that was very interesting," she said.

Those who had been trapped within the Dome likely would have asked her what she meant or what the hell was going on but they never had the chance.

Selina opened up a portal and out of it charged multiple Blood knights, all sporting red fog that installed fear and all wielding that fog to wrought damage to as many as they struck.

Adeline had gotten her hand on her Teleportation scroll but even when she charged it with Cosmic energy, it remained unresponsive... Like the mere fact that she was within the Dome had shut her out in more ways than one.

She was right of course... Time itself ran differently within the Dome, now moving a hundred times faster, and that alone had pulled anyone within the dome away from whatever natural law and the natural passing of natural forces and already impacted being able to make use of Teleportation circles both portable and standard.

Also, there were steps taken (by virtue of infinity) that served to specifically make such means of travel impossible.

The only means of instant transportation available within the dome was with the Harem space.

Adeline had been knocked aside with reckless abandon but she was spared from the carnage that befell the forces who were helpless before the hoard of Blood Knights.

For everyone killed, the Blood knights would enjoy a feast of said person\'s blood essence and then proceed to toss the butchered bodies out of the dome.

So different was the passing of time within the dome that all that had taken at least ten minutes to happen within the dome translated to being instantaneous outside of it.

Those outside the dome saw the dome get completed and the moment it was swallowed by Infinity, butchered bodies, that appeared completely tried out, fell out of nothing.

"What the hell?" asked the Haron man who had been stabbed with Hal\'s trident and his question was echoed by the others in their minds.

What the hell indeed...

Those still capable of flight, the same ones who had covered themselves up with a combined defensive skill immediately began to scour about in search of the lost territory.

Search as they might though, they found nothing... The entire territory, a sizeable portion of the Nexus world was completely gone... Gone like it never existed.

There was no large gap left behind, no evidence of what had happened at all, it was just gone.

In fact, if any of them had been able to check, they would have checked and quickly discovered that the Nexus world had reduced in size by the amount of space the lost territory should have occupied.

The awe of this strange event gripped them all and the refusal to believe it was real drove them to search even harder. Surely, such a massive territory could not just be gone...

Alas, their searches always turned up empty.

There was nothing to search for... The territory was gone... The area that should have been pushed away from where they were because of the lost territory was right in front of them now.

They kept that awe and disbelief, sprinkled with wonder and fear, when they delivered the news to the Emperor and basically anyone interested in knowing.

The Silva men discovered the young Lady Adeline was not with them and they quickly knew where she was... They were not worried.

...

Within the Dome...

Hal descended from the sky with calmness but there was just a hint of exhaustion... He had pushed himself to the limit in regards to the amount of Astral energy he had used to activate the Array.

He retracted his wings once his feet touched the ground in front of Selina and he took off his mask while placing his right index finger beneath Selina\'s chin to lift her face to his,

"You did well. Very theatrical... I dare say I was entertained" he said.

Selina smiled lightly but the joy those words gave her was clear,

"I always aim to please you..." she said.

"You did" Hal confirmed before lowering his head to take her lips in a soft kiss that had the priestess shaking with excitement,

"You shall join me when I strike up the first orgy in this hundred year journey..." Hal said after taking his lips off hers.

"I would want nothing more," Selina said with misty eyes.

"Hal?" Adeline said suddenly and it was a dampening to the mood... Selina was unhappy about the dampening but said nothing about it.

How was the Silva woman to know just how long overdue she was for a fucking?

How was Adeline to know that Selina had known and served Hal longer than many if not all of those he had stuck his cock into since he left Sapphire City and was still yet to have her first time with him?

"I almost forgot you were here," Hal said and released Selina to turn around and face Adeline.

The Blood Knights were done with their part and had enjoyed their last feast of Blood essence before getting condemned to a hundred years of conventional cultivation.

The Blood knights filed through the Harem space portal that had been held open for them and after one last look at Hal and Adeline, Selina followed after them.

"How?" Adeline said in disbelief and took a step back from Hal as structures and organized cultivation standards came crashing for her.

Yes, Hal had surpassed her a good amount of times and had always developed faster than she could comprehend but this manner of improvement, an improvement that saw him put multiple Saints as well as multiple Semi-Saints in their place with ease made absolutely no sense.

Hal said nothing for a few seconds and just let her calm down and maybe come up with her own conclusions... Alas, the longer things went on, the less likely it was that she would come to any conclusion so he walked towards her.

Adeline tried to move away from him but found that she was unable to... She had been frozen in place by a might greater than her own, a might exuded from Hal\'s body.

Hal then stretched his hand and touched her forehead with a finger,

"My existence is greater than yours..." he said before he drew her into the metaphysical realm of his sovereign Space.

There he bombarded the Silva lady with a silver of what his statement meant... Just a sliver because that was all her mind could possibly handle and even then, it was a struggle.

"As you can see and feel, I don\'t say those words lightly," Hal said as he took his finger off her forehead.

Adeline\'s grey eyes widened as she crumbled to her knees while shaking. She tried to speak but couldn\'t form the words.

Hal bent down as though to better be on her level and he spoke to her in a soft voice,

"Your family answers to me. I could let you out right now and I am not worried about what you will say to people as a reveal is imminent anyway but I won\'t let you out."

Adeline swallowed and looked up into Hal\'s face,

"Because of my body?" she asked and she almost sounded eager.

Almost...

"You are indeed very beautiful but no, it is not because of your body but rather your talent.

You should be able to feel the change in time flow... Within this Dome, you will have a hundred years of cultivation while the world endures with one.

Surely you can see how much of an advantage that will give you. You are free to say no if you wish... I am not going to go out of my way to convince you. I\'ve done too much already"

Hal stood up after that and opened a portal to the Harem space,

"What will it be?" he asked Adeline who found her choice easy to make.

Hal had an exit portal ready for him in Sapphire City and when he walked out of that portal, he had a contracted Adeline with him.

He granted Adeline a cultivation technique and she went into Seclusion soon after.

Hal however went into a massive hall within the temple, a hall that contained the members of the Harem including the excited-looking Selina.

Melinda was flanked by Rita and Marla and all three of them were naked and flaunting their assets. In fact, none of the ladies in the hall was wearing a single article of clothing.

Close to Melinda, Rita and Marla were Emily, and Amelia, and close to those two were Karmen, Olivia, and Lillian.

Overall, most were present and those who were not would of course join in over the course of the hundred warped years.

It was towards the trio of Melinda, Rita, and Marla that Hal went and they proceeded to strip him of his clothes and capture his body with the sensuality that truly set things in motion.

There was a lot of time but every second and every essence shared was essential.
