The World Serpent

Atop the heavens were numerous Military Aircraft from the Nation of Azathoth. They were Jet-Black in Color, and they released a Red Neon Light. The Military Aircraft looked futuristic as they were built by the factories constructed by Ego using her Origin Skill. Anyway, the Military Aircraft of Azathoth was currently returning back to the Fortress Bastion. 

Within the Military Aircraft were the Inquisitors, and the Visitors, one of the Inquisitors, was the Governor Inquisitor Luna. Along with the Governor Inquisitor were four Grim Tigers. It was the Former Chief, Regina, and two Grim Tigers, who got considered as guards for the Former Chief and the Current Chief.

They were staying deep within the Military Aircraft along with Luna. While staying within the Military Aircraft, Regina was looking around with curiosity plastered on her face. She couldn't believe that she was in a Futuristic Aircraft or Shuttle. Anyway, Regina was a bit nervous. The only thing she could do was distract herself. 

Her plan easily got seen through by Luna and the Former Chief. They understood why Regina was acting in her current state. The Former Chief sighed and walked towards Regina. He stood in front of Regina and asked with a calm voice. "Are you okay?" Her words echoed as Regina stopped moving and slowly turned her head towards the Former Chief.

"It's okay to be nervous, Regina." Luna also released her words with a serene voice escaping from her mouth. Regina looked at the two of them and sighed. She was really nervous about meeting Luna's master. As she sighed, Regina calmed herself and replied to the two. 

"I'm okay... I'm just a little bit nervous."

Regina then sat as she lay down on the metallic floor. It was cold, but it felt good. She closed her eyelids and took a short nap. Luna and the Former Chief simply looked at her and nodded. The Former Chief kept looking through the window as he could feel the forest she considered big was pretty small on the wider scale. 

Time passed by, a sound then echoed within the Military Aircraft. They had finally arrived at the outskirts of Azathoth. 

*We have arrived...*

It was a simple message,  was enough to wake everyone within the Military Aircraft up. The Former Chief simply turned her head towards the speaker and continued gazing through the window. Regina, who took a short nap, got forced to wake up as she instantly opened her eyelids. She began looking around as she wondered where the voice came from. 

"We have reached our destination, Regina." Luna smiled as Regina nodded and walked towards her father. She noticed her father looking through the window, which made her curious. Reaching her father and standing right beside him, Regina also looked through the windows and found something shocking.

Regina was looking at the Gigantic Walls, which covered the Great Plateau or the Fortress Bastion. The Gigantic Walls had Point-Defense Cannons and Gargantuan Cannons plastered upon them. It seems that the Nation of Azathoth was one Gigantic Fortress. After passing through the Gigantic Walls, they have arrived at the clear area of Azathoth. 

The clear area was amazing. It resembled the forest, but it also had grassy plains. It was like a vast evergreen paradise. They could even see rivers and lakes. Though, while gazing through the window. Regina noticed the strange expression on her father's face. 

"Father, is there something wrong?" Regina asked as she wondered why her father had such an expression plastered on his face. Her father turned his gaze towards her and sighed. He couldn't believe what he had seen. It took time for him to realize, but she was sure that they were heading towards the Central Region. 

The Vast Wasteland.

"Nothing is wrong. I'm simply in disbelief. I couldn't believe that Luna's master would have such power." The Former Chief answered as he simply had nothing to say about the evergreen paradise. It was supposed to be a Vast Wasteland, but the only thing he was seeing was paradise.

The power to do such a thing must have been enormous. Terraforming a Vast amount of land would be problematic, but the Master of Luna had done it without any problems. It seems that there was something more about the Master of Luna. Such were the thoughts of the Former Chief. 

After passing through the evergreen paradise, they had finally arrived at Fortress Bastion. The Military Aircrafts slowed down as they were heading towards the Main Hangar of the Fortress Bastion. Regina looked through the window as she couldn't believe that she was looking at a Giant Futuristic Fortress.

Such things could only get seen through televisions, but she couldn't believe that she was actually looking at the real thing. Regina's heart kept beating wildly as the Military Aircraft hovered above the ground. The Military Drones surrounding it slowly spread out as the Military Aircraft has finally landed at the Main Hangar. 

After the Military Aircraft landed on the Main Hangar of the Fortress Bastion, Governor Inquisitor Luna stood up and looked at the Grim Tigers. She then said with her serene voice. "It's time for us to exit the Military Aircraft, follow me." 

The Grim Tigers nodded as they followed Luna. The Inquisitors were the first to exit as they waited outside the Military Aircraft. Luna's Military Aircraft wasn't the only thing that came back. It seems that a lot of Military Aircrafts had landed. Looking at the Military Aircrafts, Luna couldn't believe that there were Inquisitors faster than her. 

Well, she did handle an army for the Grim Tigers. That might have caused them a lot of time. Anyway, while standing on the ground, Luna noticed two inquisitors heading towards her. They were the Governor Inquisitor Capita and Marx. It seems that they had arrived before Luna. 

"Old Sis Marx, Old Sis Capita?!" Regina looked at the two Governor Inquisitors and ran towards them. Looking at the Grim Tigers running towards them, Marx and Capita smiled. The Grim Tiger and the Inquisitors then hugged each other. 

"It has been a while, Regina."

"Kid, long time no see." 

The two of the Governor Inquisitors had different reactions upon seeing Regina. They have known each other since childhood, and it was quite surprising to see their Childhood friend with Luna. It has been over a year since the introduction of Master Persia. They were also busy as the Inquisition had tons of problems. 

Luna walked towards the three and spoke with a calm voice. 

"I can't believe that the two of you were faster than me." She was a bit surprised and a bit disappointed in herself. Hearing Luna's words, Marx smiled and stood in front of her. She then answered with a smile plastered on her face. "You're simply slow, Luna." 

Capita then lightly smacked Marx's head and spoke with her monotone voice. "No need to spread salt on the wound." Little did Capita know, her words brought critical damage to Luna's pride. Luna looked at the two of them and spoke with a serious voice. "I will regain my honor in the tournament and war." 

Capita and Marx chuckled after hearing Luna's words. Marx then replied. " I have the same thoughts. I don't plan on holding back no matter who stands in my way." Capita looked at the two of them and also replied. "I'll pulverize the two of you." Her words echoed as Marx and Luna couldn't help but get shocked. 

They never thought that they would hear such words escaping from Capita's mouth. They then shook their head as they needed to deliver the Leaders towards their Master. Thinking about the Leaders, Luna was rather curious about the situation of the operation. She looked at Capita and asked. 

"Are there more news about the Operation?" Luna asked as Capita thought about it and answered with her monotone voice. "There is quite a lot of news, but the most prominent one is the news about the operation's success." Luna furrowed her eyebrows after hearing Capita's words. 

"Did something happen on the operation?" Luna asked as Capita shook her head and answered. "Nothing strange happened, and no Inquisitor got killed. But, upon the Recruitment List of Daemon Beast Races given by Teacher Ego. Only 40% of them accepted, 60% denied, and most of the 60% tried to kill or eat our Inquisitors."

"I see... It seems that we have been too lenient towards them." Luna had a cold expression as she was a bit angry at the reactions of some races. Denial would have been accepted but trying to attack the Inquisitors of the Inquisition was crossing the line. She then looked at Capita and asked. 

"Then, what is the reaction of our Master?" Before Capita could answer, Marx had already answered the question of Luna. "No one knows about Master's reaction. To be honest, most Inquisitors are guessing that Master would order us to exterminate the unwanted variables." 

"Eh?" Regina couldn't believe what she was hearing. Extermination? Exterminating 60% of the Daemon Beast in the Occidental Region? Wasn't that too much? She had numerous questions, and her word echoed within the ears of the Three Governor Inquisitors. 

"No need to worry about it, Regina. Why don't you and your people head towards Line there? An Inquisitor will ask questions about your origins, so be honest towards her. " Marx simply smiled as if they were talking about something useless. Regina looked at Luna, Marx, and Capita as she nodded and walked towards her father. 

"Anyway, if Master does want to exterminate the variables. We will have to follow her orders and destroy them. Does anyone oppose this decision?" Capita asked as Marx and Luna shook their head. 

With her words, the Governor Inquisitors seemed willing to exterminate anyone of the sake of their Master.
