Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

Four Days Later...

That the Empire now officially had a crown princess intended to inherit the throne after the current Emperor quickly became public knowledge. It was getting known in all Duchys with the significance not lost on any of them.

That said, the fact that the Imperial Palace had been attacked was also known and while a lot of the details were shut down to not cause unrest, the information was spread nonetheless.

The Emperor was working on contingencies to be employed in case of future attacks and he was coming up with those contingencies along with his court and his heir by his side.

Many were receiving added or new responsibilities and among them was Creten who was told it was about time he began to pull his own weight.

Creten accepted it all and shoved down whatever bitterness he had towards Tanya to focus on helping his family right now. Now was the time for him to lay low and do the work and he was very willing.

Another news that was spreading quickly was the Silvas' loss of power.

A part of the process of takeover and the process of complete transferral of power was to alert all other Duchys that there was now a different family in power.

Needless to say, this was surprising news to many and it was a very prevalent topic of discussion.

Adeline Silva and her brother Pierre had been informed of the change in power and did not have to learn of it from a spreading news/rumor but neither had been able to accept it.

Fur one, they had both believed their family to be much too powerful to be in such a situation to lose power and this was how they felt without them knowing the full depth of their family's power.

Adeline had considered hurrying over to her family in the Duchy but her father had stopped her for no other reason than it being unnecessary. Plus, he claimed to see more merit in her remaining at the Royal Academy.

...

Meanwhile, despite the days that passed Hal still did leave the Harem space and neither did the duo of Melinda and Isabella.

The Dane family was busy completing the process of their takeover and claiming every aspect of the Duchy-wide authority belonging to the Silvas but Isabella could not care less.

Yes, she was wanted but her presence was not required for things to get done and she had specifically stopped being Matriarch of the Dane Family to keep from being bothered with such works.

Outside the Harem space, four days had passed but in the Harem space, it was over a month (Forth days) which had been spent with almost constant fucking.

There were breaks of course but they hardly ever lasted and things would pick up right where they left off.

Even now, they were still at it with Hal holding both of Isabella's legs apart while he plowed her insatiable pussy that was constantly seeking more.

While Hal had been busy with the two ladies though, he had already commissioned a plan for a retreat with the bulk of his forces.

Right now, a large-scale formation array was already been drawn around and within Sapphire city in preparation for activation by him.

The laying down of the formations was hard work despite the ready availability of the Codex of Infinity to guard those laying it down. There was so much depth to be taken into consideration and so much detail to be added.

Hal had decided that he would not wait anymore. Whatever his plans were, he needed strength and wanted it as fast as he could get it.

Once the formation was complete, Hal planned to take a retreat with any of his women who were interested in coming along.

The Array he planned to set up would speed up time a hundredfold and he planned to be within the Array with his forces for a year which would equal a hundred Time-warped years.

Within the Array, Hal would continue to keep an eye on ongoing events but will not interfere at least not personally.

He would leave all interference to Sassy and the anchors of the Harem space who will facilitate the travel between the two continents.

The only actual request Hal had for the Dystopians was that they attack the Silva Duchy so that he could take power back for the Danes and also allow him to take control of the entire Silva family which was a good chunk of the power of the Silva (Now Dane) Duchy.

He could even boast of having control over the Danes as well thanks to this request of his.

Other than his request for the attack on the Silva Duchy, Hal was ready to let the Dystopians do as they please with the use of his transportation system.

If they wished to take their time to ruminate on the information they now had, or they wished to rush into the next invasion, all was well.

A hundred years...

Hal saw potential in that... With normal cultivation with the best cultivation technique normally available and the best talent, four hundred years were required for the condensation of a single star of sainthood.

But with his cultivation technique and the derivation of it that he had made available to his forces, that time would be significantly cut down even though it will be significant still.

Hal knew for sure he was about to enter into his most lengthy cultivation phase yet.

Before he made his retreat though, Hal still wished to honor the Emperor's summon and finally meet the ruler of the Haron Empire for the first time.

He had only seen him through the eyes of his anchor so far.

The summon was the only reason he was considering exiting the Harem space.

He, Isabella, and Melinda finally put an end to their sexual activities after which Isabella finally exited the Harem space and returned to her family.

She left with a good show of reluctance. A month of marathon fucking had been massively satisfying but had done very little for her in the way of scratching her itch.

She wanted more... Was willing to just remain in the Harem space getting fucked by Hal for the rest of her lifespan but could not.

The man she wished to stay with had business to attend to and she herself had duties she had been neglecting.

She did receive a passionate kiss on her way out of the Harem space though.

Melinda remained inside the Harem space and refined the energy she had received from this session with an eventual plan to return to the Royal Academy and her mentor the Empress. Hal had shared with her his urgency for a retreat and unlike the last time they spoke of it, there was now a specified time. More or less.

She wished to get as many Divine scripts as she could from the Empress' connection and keep on cleansing herself of mortal impurities.

Hal took a bath and then put on new sets of robes and went to the Imperial City through a portal that Lucile opened for him.

The large-breasted business-minded woman met him with an enchanting smile,

,m "Welcome. Didn't know I'd get to see you again so soon" Lucile said.

"Yoy say that like I've been neglectful. I'm always available. A trip to the Harem space and you would have likely found me" Hal said.

They were in Lucile's office and her desk was littered with evidence of her busy work schedule.

"How's business?" Hal asked casually as though in passing.

"Booming. We are supplying to six Duchys now." Lucile said with a smile.

He had been right about a lot of things and one of them was how much of an interest would be taken in the secret supplier of the Nirvana pills.

Many had cautiously questioned her but Lucile had always been able to tell them that such information was confidential.

Then came their curiosity about the recipe for the pills but they directed that curious energy towards deconstructing the pills they bought while trying to figure it out.

They failed of course.

"Good, and the statistics?" Hal asked and by statistics, he meant detailed information on who had gotten the pills and who was still holding out on the product.

Rather than think up the many information and have Hal search her mind for the answers, Lucile pulled out a booklet dedicated to that study.

One glance at each page and Hal would have read the said page.

They were indeed supplying six Duchys now but the percentage of saturation was a low Five percent in each Duchy and was rising steadily.

Hal was not about to turn into some drug lord and he did not feel the need or wish to pump out the Nirvana pills for all eternity. The pills were a means to an end and once that end was reached, the production would end.

"Not bad. You are doing good work" He said and handed the booklet back to Lucile who took it with a proud smile.

"It has been quite a thrilling business ride," she said.

"Do you find it difficult?" Hal asked and he pulled her out of her chair to snake an arm around her waist and pull her against him so that her large breasts were pressed against his chest.

Lucille rolled her eyes at his question,

"Oh please, I could do it in my sleep," she said and Hal chuckled before he took her lips in a hard kiss while reaching down with his hands to grab her ass and squeeze to draw a moan from her lips.

His summon with the Emperor was not until morning, many hours later... He had time.
