"Even in her last moment, everybody saw her as a criminal, a delinquent of society. However, the universe saw her as worthy of a name that is only hers.

They called her Nyx'Indirra Felis Umbrae - She Who Is Born of Claw and Shadow. Her legend is written in the Underworld Diary, and her authority is supreme to all.

Rise Nyx'Indirra Felis Umbraem, your rule had just begun."

Kent invoked Indie's True Name, causing the entire Harem Tower to shake.

The sky split, and from within, an ethereal beauty stepped out, each step shattering the void. The air around her is thick with Malice.

Kent was frozen in place as he watched Indie catwalk toward him, her shape swaying from side to side.

GULP

Kent gulped, his breath coming out ragged as Indie stopped before him, and with her catlike nature, she stretched her slender hand and placed it on his shoulder.

Her voluptuous body moved and hugged Kent before locking lips with him. Their kiss quickly turned intense, prompting the other ladies watching to chuckle.

They have all done, and will be doing, what Indie is doing. However, there is just something about this Cat that is making them feel uneasy.

"This cat is almost on the same level as Alina now," Unity said, clearly jealous of the heaviness behind Indie.

"True. I propose we separate the two of them from ever having Kent to themselves. Who knows what they will do with those butts?" Arien proposed, and the rest of her sisters nodded.

"Even though we are yet to cross the extra mile with Kent, we second what Arien suggested. Alina and Indie together is a disaster we cannot allow to happen."

"Then it is decided. Indie and Alina are officially not worthy to be paired ever."

Indie had no idea she had just become a threat to her sisters. To her, having Kent's tongue in her mouth was all she needed at the moment.

[The Underworld]

While the living saw the underworld as a dreadful place, those who live there are much happier with their dwelling. Of course, they would be thrilled to come back to the land of the living, where most of them came from.

However, that is just not possible.

So they do their best to make a life for themselves, or else their suffering will never end.

Of course, with the Underworld Kings and Queens keeping order, they have a thriving society down there.

So one can only wonder and even panic when, out of nowhere, the entire 13 levels of the underworld would start shaking like a massage chair.

Every last underworld being stopped whatever they were doing, lifted their heads and started gazing at the dull sky. From the heavens, a large mansion made purely out of gold and jade diamonds appeared, surrounded by a dome.

The moment it appeared, a supreme authority descended on all 13 levels of hell. The under Kings and Queens felt it. The force was one they could not go against.

However, even with the chilling nature of the force, Millions still rushed toward it the moment it appeared. However, even the strongest of them, being the demigods, couldn't even get within 100 km of it.

The Underworld God even appeared, his shoulders held high. However, even with his strength and authority over the underworld, he couldn't come close to the dome.

It was like he had no authority there again.

This occurrence plunged the universe into chaos. Many started panicking, and those who sought to destroy started causing chaos everywhere.

However, just when things were about to get out of hand, three ladies, each with cultivation bases that cannot be fathomed, appeared from the mansion, instantly calming every living soul.

"You will maintain law and order, for the Empress has risen, and she will be ruling the underworld again. All those who fall out of line will be executed without any chance of ever reincarnating."

The words were arrogant and commanding; however, not even the Underworld God dared question them. They could only nod their heads and watch the three ladies teleport away.

Inside Nyx's meeting hall, the seven underworld elders under her command gathered to hold an urgent meeting.

She folded her hands on her chest, her expression calm, yet one could see the worry in them.

"What did you find, Offin?" she asked, directing her question to an elder holding a tattered book. The cover of the book is worn, indicating it has been in use for a very long time.

Offin, also a demigod, raised his head and started to speak...

"This is a small copy of the Underworld Diary. It was written by a legendary figure who lived during the Divine Era. The records state that during the Primordial Era, the underworld indeed had a Queen.

However, that was before the fracture, resulting in the underworld becoming a 13-level kingdom ruled by Underworld Kings and Queens.

I don't know much about her, but I learnt that under her rule, the underworld was one of the most powerful kingdoms in the universe... even the legendary Chaos Dragon personally came here to acknowledge her rule.

However, she vanished during the Great War, never to be heard from again.

The name recorded here is Indira."

Nyx blinked a few times, processing the info dump that Offin had offloaded on her. The idea that there was once an Underworld Queen who ruled all over the underworld baffled her.

As long as she could remember, there were 12 underworld queens and kings with an Underworld God ruling over everything. There had never been a Queen who dominated everything.

"It says in the diary that she was a queen. Why did the two ladies call her an Empress?" Orlando, one of the elders, a bald fellow with wickedness in his eyes, asked.

"I guess they saw the underworld now has 13 different kingdoms, so they wanted to make it plain she is now the Empress, and there is no denying her authority."

The elders nodded, each feeling like the underworld would soon undergo a qualitative change.

"The underworld would soon change," Nyx stated with a calm expression. "However, as to whether this change will impact us negatively, I don't know. But we can only hope this Underworld Empress will be someone we can relate to. This means we'd better stay on her good side."

The elders looked at each other, and then Matalo asked, "Does that mean we are not attending the Underworld Assembly?"

After the mansion appeared and the announcement was made, the Underworld God called an assembly to address the change.

"It is evident that the bastard wants to rebel. With the arrival of this new authority, his position as the overlord is threatened, so he wants to get ahead of it.

I, on the other hand, have no plans on going against an Underworld Empress. My ambition was to become an Underworld Queen, and you seven helped me realise that dream.

So I don't know about you, but I am content with what I have now. I would not risk it just because someone else couldn't bend the knee to a higher authority."

The seven elders looked at each other for a few seconds before they all let out a deep sigh of relief. They then burst out into uncontrollable laughter.

"What a relief. We thought you would also join that bastard, so we were worried for a second there."

Nyx glared at her seven elders and smirked... "Cowards."

They didn't mind. In their mind, "We would rather face a god with no authority than an Empress with supreme authority over all of the underworld."

"I guess there is smartness in there somewhere." Soon, their meeting ended. Nyx stayed in her meeting hall for a few hours before she left to handle her own issues.

A significant change is coming, and she might have to fight a big battle. So it was best she start to prepare...
