The World Serpent

Persia's serene whispering voice echoed within Regina's ears. Hearing Persia's words, Regina couldn't help but freeze in fear. Her heart was wildly beating as she couldn't help but get nervous when Persia, a Horrifying Monster, was right beside her fluffy ears. Regina gulped and replied with a stuttering voice. 

"W-what are you trying to say, Lord Persia. What is a reincarnator?"

Regina tried to deflect the words that escaped from Persia's mouth. Unfortunately, Persia already knew that she was lying. Most Inquisitors already had known that she was lying the moment she spoke of her words. Regina was shaken as Persia smiled and walked back to her throne. Regina thought that Persia accepted her words, but she was wrong. Persia simply wanted to take a seat as a new discussion would start. 

"Don't lie in front of me, Little Regina. You might look like a Grim Tiger on the outside, but I am sure that you are more than that on the inside. I'd like for you to be honest, and it seems that even your parents didn't know about you situation. It's time." 

Persia said with a smirk plastered on her face as she aloofly sat on her throne. She gazed at the fearful Regina. Persia was surprised after meeting Regina. Although, she maintained her composure. She still wanted to know more about the reincarnator. After all, Persia was the same. She got reincarnated as a Snake and the Heir of the World Serpent.

It has been over a year or two since Persia got reincarnated. She couldn't remember everything clearly other than opening her eyes in a forest like a little snake. She survived day and night within such a forest and evolved. She invaded an Ancient Temple and almost caused a certain species' extinction. Then, she got thrown into the Realm of Piksyon. 

Thinking about the world she got reincarnated, Persia thought of entering the world. After all, she was curious about what happened to the world she got reincarnated in. The Realm of Piksyon was simply her second world. The Old World was an incredibly big world. Though, the creatures within it might have been weak compared to the Realm of Piksyon. 

Reminiscing her memories shouldn't be done during an interrogation with a fellow reincarnator. It took time, but it seems that Regina had gained some of her confidence as she had finally answered honestly towards Persia. 

"This has been my Second Life, My Life as a Grim Tiger. Long ago, I had a First Life in a World called Earth. I lived on a peninsula and worked as an office woman. I had big dreams though I lost the opportunities to achieve them. Anyway, it was at night. I was drunk until a truck came out of nowhere and accidentally hit me. That was how I died and got reincarnated as a Grim Tiger." 

Regina answered while lowering her head. The Inquisitors in the Throne Room found themselves in silence. Ego looked at Regina with curiosity plastered on her face while the Former Chief couldn't believe what he was hearing. He looked at his Daughter's ashamed face and walked towards her. 

"Why are you lowering your head, Regina. Did you do something wrong?" The Former Chief asked with a calm voice. Regina turned her head upwards while looking at the face of her father. She had thought that her father would hate her for lying all these years. But instead of hate, her father had an expression of understanding. 

Meanwhile, Luna, Marx, and Capita looked at the Grim Tigers and their Master. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Their childhood friend was a reincarnator? They had heard stories about reincarnators. Reincarnators were People who have been given a chance to have a second life with their first's life memories. 

The Reincarnator identity of Regina would explain everything. Her vast amount of knowledge, skills, and maturity was very hard to find amongst the Daemon Beast. Despite being younger than the trio, her intelligence wasn't to be underestimated. Anyway, in the end, the Reincarnator title of Regina didn't bother the Inquisitors that much. 

They had heard about their Master going into another world and trashing the ruler of that world. The achievements of their Master's were enough to stop them from being too surprised by Regina's title. 

"I'm glad for your honesty though your explanation reminds me of a synopsis of a novel." Persia smiled as she thought of how Regina explained her Reincarnator title. The explanation was like a synopsis or description of a novel. 'I got reincarnated as a Grim Tiger.' was a title that wouldn't be surprising to see. 

But, Persia was rather curious about the earth. It reminded her of something important. Now that she had thought of it. She couldn't remind herself of her past life despite her enhanced brain and mind. Since she was a reincarnator, shouldn't she remember her past life clearly like Regina? Was there something stopping her? Or was it related to the Old Man that invaded her Soul Core?

Persia had tons of questions within herself. Unfortunately, she would have to finish the Great War before answering the questions. After the Great War, she would have to conquer the Realm of Piksyon and start looking at other worlds. 'My thoughts rather resembled that of a War Lord. Well, I guess I do love conquering something. The more it tries to resist, the better.'

"Do you want to know more, Lord Persia?" Regina asked with a whispering voice. Persia got forced out of her thoughts and looked at Regina. Persia saw fear within Persia's hearts. Well, that was expected, but Persia didn't someone to look at her with such a fearful feeling. Especially someone that was about to be her subordinates.

"I'd like to ask more, but I'll give you time to gather your thoughts. I'm an understanding ruler, you see. Adapting to your situation takes time. You can stay in your rooms, and an Inquisitor will be your tour guide later." 

Persia smiled as the door of the throne room slowly opened. The Former Chief then slightly bowed towards Persia and exited the throne room. Regina looked at Persia while exiting the throne room. Seeing the gaze of Regina, Persia slightly waves her hands. The door of the throne room then closes, and the Inquisitors and the Great Ruler would finally discuss more about the Operation. 

"Since the Daemon Beast Leaders have left. It's time for us to talk about or next steps. The Diplomats are in their rooms, and I'm sure that they are communicating with their Great Rulers." Persia said as the Inquisitors nodded and moved forward. Standing in front of Persia, who sat on the throne with a dominant aura, the Inquisitors kneeled and bowed. 

"Master, are you sure about not tracking their messages?" Inquisitor Marx asked with a serious voice. Even though they were Diplomats, it would be better for Azathoth to know what kind of messages they were sending to their Great Rulers. Hearing the words of Marx, Capita and Luna looked at her as if she was dumb. 

"There is no need to do that. I'm sure that they had done it on purpose. After all, sending a message within the Fortress Bastion is foolish. Doing that would make it seemed that we don't trust the Diplomats. Heck, even Capita is having a good time with one of them." Persia slyly smiled towards Capita. 

Capita had found a fellow Space Attribute User. From the reports given by Ego, the two had a good relationship. With their understanding of Space attributes, their growth would probably increase by a large margin. When Persia spoke of Capita's Space Attribute Partner, Luna and Marx couldn't help but pout in jealousy. 

They had already noticed the growth of Capita. It was getting faster and faster as days passed. The two couldn't help but feel unfair of Capita's growth. Seeing the pouting faces of Luna and Marx, Persia couldn't help but slightly chuckle and try to lighten up the mood. 

"I'm sure that the two of you would meet someone with the same Attribute as yours." Hearing the words of Persia, Luna and Marx nodded. Who cares about having a teacher? The prize of the tournament is a lot better than that. Thinking about the prize of the tournament, the Inquisitors in the room felt the flames in their heart surging. 

"Anyway, those that didn't accept the offer will have to be exterminated. Even if they are ants in the Occidental Region, insects still have their part in the Great War, and their part is annoying.  I want them exterminated before the War starts. This should be a good test for the Inquisitors." 

The annihilation of the 60% Daemon Beast within the Occidental Region was unavoidable. They will be annihilated by the Great Army of the Plains. They might even join the Great Army and would make a lot more things complicated. Persia didn't care that much about the Daemon Beast, but she wanted to crush the Great Army of the Plains thoroughly. The 60% Daemon Beast was a variable to that.

"So, does anyone disagree?"   

The Inquisitors shook their heads as none of them disagreed with the new operation. They had serious expressions plastered on their face as they would gain their honor back by exterminating the nuisance. Seeing the cold expression of the Inquisitors, Persia had a proud smile and announced with a prideful voice. 

"The Termination will start. Send a warning, and If they still don't accept. Exterminate them and leave none alive. I am a Monster of equality. All of them are merely flesh bags waiting to be eaten. Now that I think about it. It seems that I should join this mission."

"After all, I'm quite hungry." 

The last words of Persia was under a cold voice. She was looking forward on eating 60% of the Daemon Beast.

It was a feast before the main one.
