[For defeated women to suffer humiliation at the hands of their enemies was commonplace on the battlefield. Even before Nanook took notice of Starblazer, she had already been a female general who dominated the battlefields. Such things were nothing strange to her.]
[As for humanitarianism or prisoner of war conventions—aside from a very few militaries, hardly anyone took them seriously.]
[Thus after being captured by you, she had long prepared herself for violation. Only the method you employed differed from what she had imagined.]
[Golden light shimmered in your eyes as the Abundance's power surged. Countless golden vines emerged, instantly entangling her entire body like tentacles.]
[Starblazer had thought she would merely be raped—never expecting an even more perverted game. Her face immediately paled with terror.]
["Kill me! Kill me right now! If I ever get free, I'll make you pay!"]
[Unfortunately, her threats held no force—only adding to your excitement.]
[You examined Starblazer as if she were a beaker, then slowly spoke:]
["Do you know how many holes a woman's body has?"]
[Without waiting for her reply, you pointed to your own head and chest.]
["Nine on the upper half."]
[Then you successively pointed to your navel and below.]
["Four on the lower half."]
[Finally, with an expression of pure innocence, you said: "I wonder what would happen if we plugged all of them? Let's find out~"]
[By now, Starblazer understood your intentions and began screaming.]
["No! No! You can't do this! I'm an Emanator of the Destruction Aeon! To insult me like this is to make an enemy of the entire Antimatter Legion! Do you want to start a war between the Xianzhou Alliance and the Antimatter Legion?!"]
[You narrowed your eyes with a smile.]
["Not bad~ Not bad~ You're improving. Now you're using diplomatic threats."]
[Soon your expression turned indifferent as you abruptly changed tack.]
["But what does that have to do with me? I'm not from the Xianzhou."]
[Given how fiercely you protected the Xianzhou Alliance and your resemblance to its people, any outsider would assume you were one of them.]
[In truth, only a handful within the Alliance knew your origins—excluding the ascended Aeon the Hunt, the high-ranking officials of the Yaoshi Sect, and the Ten Lords Commission who learned through generations of records.]
[Starblazer was no fool. She gradually discerned your true aim.]
["Wait... You're trying to lure Lord Nanook into action... Your real target is Lord Nanook himself!?"]
[Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at you. "You're insane!!"]
["Correct~ Your reward is a trip to cloud nine~" You grinned brightly and snapped your fingers.]
["Wai—mmph!" Before Starblazer could protest, thick vines stuffed her mouth, followed by her ears, nostrils, eyes...]
[Soon every orifice of her body was plugged by golden vines. The vines writhed like living creatures, burrowing madly into her. Before long, snake-like protrusions squirmed visibly beneath her skin.]
[By now, Starblazer could no longer speak, only emitting strange guttural sounds.]
[Of course, your meticulously laid traps and ambush weren't merely for some tentacle play.]
[The vines penetrating her body began voraciously draining her power.]
[Before long, Starblazer's once-lush body was reduced to a desiccated husk. Gazing at the hovering flame in your palm, you fell into thought.]
[The flame radiated a palpable madness—an all-consuming desire for destruction.]
[After long contemplation, you cautiously extended your psychic perception into it, deliberately avoiding the core.]
[The flame's core contained the partial authority over the Path of Destruction bestowed by Nanook.]
[The outer layers held Starblazer's personal comprehension of the Path.]
[Soon you fully absorbed her insights regarding "destruction" and "death." You couldn't help but exhale in relief.]
[To be chosen by Nanook as his Emanator, Starblazer must have possessed unique understanding of Destruction that deeply appealed to him.]
[Yet the moment you relaxed, the core flame suddenly trembled violently. A terrifying presence began leaking from its depths.]
["Oh no! Nanook noticed!" Your heart raced as you steeled yourself and forcibly pierced the core with your perception, beginning to decipher the Aeon's authority.]
[The consequences were immediate.]
[If Starblazer's power was a matchstick, Nanook's was an erupting volcano. A single misstep would reduce you to ashes.]
[Enduring agony as if your very soul were burning away, you stubbornly parsed the principles of "death and destruction."]
[As if provoked, the flame grew even more violent. Madness that sought to annihilate all things came pouring forth—followed by a gaze capable of obliterating worlds.]
["Damn it!" You inwardly cursed.]
[Nanook's attention had been drawn to your meddling!]
[In a daze, your consciousness seemed sucked into a void where a colossal figure loomed—white-haired, dark-skinned, with golden blood weeping from the chasm in his chest.]
[In that same instant, you completed your analysis and severed all psychic links.]
[Clearly, you had underestimated the terrifying might of an Aeon.]
[Just as you thought you'd escaped Nanook's notice, an invisible gaze abruptly fell upon you across the void.]
[Flames of Destruction ignited across your body. You felt your very atoms beginning to disintegrate.]
[Then—an exotic fragrance wafted through the air. Chiming bells accompanied emerald mist brimming with vitality, enveloping you and repelling the annihilating flames.]
["Hmph!"]
[A displeased snort echoed through the void before the flames vanished without trace.]
[As quickly as it came, the green mist dissipated.]
[You exhaled in relief—your master had intervened just in time to save your life. That had been too close.]
[Your earlier actions were beyond reckless. Forcibly dissecting an Aeon's granted authority was no different from tearing off their clothes before their very eyes.]
[Yet high risk brought equally high rewards.]
[With the stolen Destruction authority in your grasp, you could now wield that segment of the Path's power without Nanook's blessing—effectively crowning yourself as a self-made Emanator of Destruction.]
