Chapter 116 Boredom.
Cultivation solved all the problems,
The weak Union members started to become stronger, which eventually strengthened the Union more than ever.
Not only that, but it even started increasing the lifetime.
The more one cultivated, the stronger he got and the longer he lived.
This was simply amazing and the Union got another boost.
In a matter of a few decades, the Union conquered over 90% of Yrniel.
The Union Leaders were happy as well, everything was proceeding smoothly, there were no problems at all, they didn't have to do anything, the Union members were able to take care of everything, even if it was a Ruler Class Beasts.
As for the Lord Class Beasts, well, all of them were hunted down.
The Union Leaders saw them as threats, therefore, they went out of their way to go, find, and hunt them down.
Just like how they did things in the beginning.
Therefore, the Union faced no problems and didn't bother the Leaders much.
Of course, the Leaders were satisfied, however, along with satisfaction, another new emotion took over them…
Boredom.
Yes, they were bored.
There was nothing they had to do.
Not only that, since they were so bored and fed up, they even decided to give up on the Union's Leadership.
They would rather do something else.
Leading their children was getting boring.
Plus, the children needed to grow as well.
Therefore, they gave up on the Leadership position and the First Generation took over.
The original Union Leaders took the Title of Progenitors.
The new leaders didn't disappoint as well.
Since they were all motivated, they sped up things even further and another decade later, the whole Yrniel was under Union's control.
Now, instead of the Beasts, the Union ruled over Yrniel.
What happened to the Beasts?
Well, they still lived, however, they weren't as strong as they were before.
The Union ignored them as well.
They started focusing on other things.
They started developing.
More and more years passed by, and a big Empire named Union Empire was founded. The Proginaters, the Union Leaders and other strong members of the Union lived in huge, lavish mansions.
Currency was founded.
Better clothes, better food, all in all, the living style got better and better.
And the Union continued to grow.
However, soon, the First generation leaders of the Union started feeling bored as well.
They had everything, power, money, and status.
They didn't have to work anything.
However, they were different from Progenitors, unlike them, they didn't wish to give up on the power and status they had.
Therefore, to find a source of entertainment, and to increase their ambition, they started targeting each other.
Of course, they didn't fight it out against each other and called it a day,
Rather, they started scheming.
They started stealing other races' powers.
Now, they had another goal, they wanted to make their Race the sole Leader of Yrniel.
The Union Leaders schemed, killed, and did everything they could to make their dreams come true.
How about we dissolve the Union and divide the territories amongst ourselves?
Of course, this notion faced some opposition, however, the support it got far outweighed the opposition.
Then, another question was raised,
How are we going to divide the territories?
Of course, the answer was strength.
Now, who was the strongest?
The answer was obvious, it was Ariel Origin.
However, did that mean he was strongest when compared to a whole race?
Of course not.
Azriel Origin might be strong but he lacked numbers.
There were no vampires other than him. That is the reason why 'Vampires' were weak.
So the rankings were formed.
Dragons,
Demons,
Humans,
Beastmen,
Elves,
Dwarves,
Vampire.
Dragons and Demons were low in number, however, they were very strong, therefore, they were placed on the top.
Humans, although they were weak individually, their population was countless times higher than any other race, therefore, they were placed in the third position.
Then came Beastmen, Elves and then, Dwarves.
Dwarves were weak, also, their only strength, construction, was now useless since most of their inventions were distributed to the public, therefore, they were placed at second last.
"Alright, I agree with the rankings." One of the human leaders muttered.
"I have no complains as well," a demon nodded.
The other races nodded as well.
"So how are we dividing the territories?"
Then, a human walked forwards and placed the map on the table.
"How about we do something like this?"
The other members looked at the map and soon, they frowned.
"Huh? Why are there only 6 parts? Shouldn't there be 7?" A dwarf questioned.
"Huh? Why would there be 7? Dragons, Demons, Humans, Beastmen, Elves and Dwarves, there are only 6 races. Shouldn't there only be 6 parts?" A human answered.
"Huh? What about Vampires?" Another human questioned with a frown.
"There are no Vampire(s), there is only 1 Vampire.
A Single person can't represent a race, Lord Azriel is strong and I respect him a lot, however, even he cannot represent a whole race."
"Huh? Are you saying that we won't be giving any territory to Father?" a black-haired, blue-eyed human female narrowed her eyes.
"No, that is not what I am saying, what I am trying to say is, since Lord Azriel is the Strongest, we all will respect him and have a mansion for him in all 6 territories, this way, he would have the whole Yrniel under him." The human male answered.
Aeliana narrowed her eyes even further.
Even a child could tell that he was sugarcoating his words.
Have the whole Yrniel under him? Azriel would barely have 6 mansions!
All of them combined wouldn't be 100th of what other races have!
She would never let that happen.
"You bastard! Did you forget what father has done for us!? He fought with his life on the line, he took care of us when we were children, how can you forget everything!?"
Aeliana questioned in rage.
"Huh? Why are you acting like Lord Azriel was the only one who did everything?" A demon questioned.
"Our Progenitors' have done their part as well. What we are giving to Lord Azriel is already more than enough, even he would be satisfied by this."
"Yes, I know what you are trying to do, you are close to Lord Azriel, so there is a chance that you will be the one who will manage his territory, isn't that the only reason why you want a territory for him?
Also, what would someone like Lord Azriel use the territory for?
It's not like he has any children!
If there are no other vampires, then who is going to live in his territory? Dead people?" A Dwarf retorted.
He was already dissatisfied by how his race has the smallest territory, however, if even Lord Azriel were to have his territory, won't his territory be even smaller?
How could he allow something like that!?
"…"
Aeliana glared at all the people sitting at the table as her body trembled in rage.
However, she knew that she can't do anything about it.
In the end, she just slammed her fist on the table and stood up.
"You all are ungrateful greedy bastards!"
Saying that, she left the meeting hall.
"What's with her?" A demon turned toward a human and questioned.
"How would I know? I just know that she is attached to Lord Azriel since he was the one who took care of her since she was born."
"So what? Lord Moloch raised me but I am not very close to him."
"Heh. You just don't have a good heart." A dragon chuckled.
The demon completely ignored the dragon and suddenly, an Elf questioned timidly,
"Will she go and talk to Lord Azriel…?"
"Huh? So what if she does? It's not like he can do anything about it. Do you think he can go against all other races alone?" A demon snorted.
"Yeah, I agree. There is nothing Lord Azriel can do about it."
"Honestly, I feel that giving him a mansion in every one of our territories is already good enough."
"Indeed, indeed."
The Union members then continued to discuss the details and as for Aeliana, she dashed into a huge mansion and shouted,
"Father!"
"Hmm? What happened? Why do you sound so panicked?" a voice echoed throughout the house.
"I want to tell you something."
Suddenly, blood red mist appeared in front of Aeliana and soon, it turned into Azriel.
"Father!"
Aeliana dashed into Azriel's embrace.
Azriel smiled and patted her head.
"What happened?" Azriel questioned in a soothing voice.
"Those bastards…
Aeliana then told everything that happened in the meeting to Azriel.
"So, they think giving me 6 mansions is enough?" Azriel questioned with a frown.
"I can't believe those bastards will say something like that!" Aeliana roared.
A cold smile appeared on Azriel's face.
Actually, he didn't really care about all these territories and dividing the Union, rather, he found it interesting.
It would be interesting to fight against each other after fighting together for so long, so he approved of this.
However, they dare split something he worked so hard for and not give him anything?
Heh. Now that's going out of the boundary.
Azriel was a prideful being, he wouldn't let that happen at all.
"It seems that I have been inactive for far too long now."
Azriel muttered with a slight smile on his face.
"No, father, you can't do it!" After living for so many years with her father, Aeliana knew what he was thinking the instance she saw that expression.
However, this time, she was completely against what Azriel wanted to do.
"Huh? Why?" Azriel questioned.
"There is no way you will be able to take all other races with you alone! Even you can't do it!" Aeliana yelled.
"Oh?" Azriel smiled.
Actually, he believed that he could do it, however, he was interested in something else,
"Then what do you suggest, what do I do now?"
"I have a few subordinates, I will help you." Aeliana offered without a second of hesitation.
"But you are not a vampire," Azriel muttered.
"It doesn't matter. I am still your daughter." Aeliana was still determined.
Then, a small smile appeared on Azriel's face.
Another, entirely new plan appeared in his mind.
'I guess it is time to increase the number of Vampires.'
He chuckled.
