The dragon's harem

Arad smiled, and the ground started shaking under the assault of an earthquake several tens of times stronger than a magnitude ten. “Bringing me to a dead world was your worst mistake.” His weak chuckles echoed through the devastation as fire erupted from the ground and lightning rained from the heavens.

The two maids looked at the ground with horror and then glared back at Arad. He immediately disappeared into darkness, leaving them alone. “The bastard! When did he reach the core?”

It was then that a bright flash engulfed them, swallowing the whole world into pure radiance for a second, and then a deafening roar boomed from the core of the planet, sending massive cracks across its whole surface.

Lava splashed out, flames swallowed the mountains, and the planet’s gravity failed to function as it was shattered into small pieces and then crashed back onto itself.

From the darkness of space, the explosion looked silent and slow, the planet slowly crumbling to pieces, but that was just an illusion due to its massive size.

Arad watched from afar. He had already teleported several tens of times upward using his void step and managed to hide in the darkness of space, hiding in the shadows of nothing as he contemplated the situation the two Mana Drakainas were in now.

If they were humans, this would be like being in a carriage driving off a cliff and crashing down. They are powerful, but they still have a good chance of just dying if his guess of their power is right. But in the back of his head, he knew that he was wrong. They’ll survive: The question is at what cost, and can they keep fighting afterward?

Arad watched the planet shatter into many small pieces floating in the void, and he could spot the two Drakainas floating in a protective bubble of magic. Both were heavily injured but in a different way than what Arad thought.

Their bodies were fine, but their mana circuit had been severely damaged. Arad had a guess but couldn’t confirm it.

The world’s mana weaves had shattered alongside it, and the two were linked to that weave to control the Mana. It seems they suffered a painful backlash when the whole world’s mana system collapsed.

Arad also noticed another thing. Now that it was laid clear in front of his eyes. The void of space- Mana was scarce here.

The Mana density can’t even maintain him, let alone the two powerful drakainas, which meant they weren’t on just a timer for air, but on a timer for Mana as well, and their bodies needed to heal their wounds and recover, so they are burning their reserves fast, like an exhausted runner forced to take a deep dive without much oxygen in his lungs.

Arad should be careful since they still have enough power to flee. If they manage to catch him, they’ll take him to another world where he has to keep fighting, which he can’t do because he is running low on blood.

One chance, that’s all he has. It is just how Diana told him. He only got one chance to neutralize the threat, and he’d die if he got caught.

First, Arad took a step back to catch his breath and think about his next step. He has all the time, and they don’t, so letting them burn through their air and Mana works to his advantage anyway.

He’ll have to sneak closer to them, using the darkness and debris to his advantage. So first, what will he do about this destroyed world? The System angel Aria said that he needed to liberate worlds and consume the dead ones to grow stronger. Doesn’t that mean he could swallow all the debris on this planet to fuel his growth?

Yes, that would give him a much-needed boost in material and power, but how could he do it without the two spotting him? The answer is simple: he can’t. There is no way they won’t detect him or detect the debris disappearing.

Thinking about that, Arad remembered something. This wasn’t his first time being in a destroyed world situation. When was the last time? Yes, when his Brother Gojo blasted Betty’s training world with his [Yarn Ball] Void magic.

Hold up, Arad is an adult now. He should be able to do that. Right? What did Gojo do exactly?

Void Dragons can use their void to pull on the fabric of space, and if they do it right, they’ll pull the strings of time with it. When the fabric of space-time is neatly curled into a ball, the world collapses into a black hole that sucks up everything because space bend and siphons matter and time in it.

Yes, now that Arad was an adult, he could peer deeper into his void magic and understand what Gojo did. The black hole he made looked black because light couldn’t escape it. The [Yarn Ball] didn’t have infinite gravity or anything. Since it bent the fabric of space, it dragged everything in that space toward it. The same with time, everything that had its timeline entangled would be destined to fall into the black hole.

It was both simple and daunting to do. But his claws are sharp, and his mind is now clear and ready to play with some strings.

He looked at the twins. He now could only guess. Would they die if he hit them with that thing? Yes, most likely. But hitting them is the problem.

Creating such a thing was bound to draw their attention, and they’d catch him before he could finish knitting the yarn ball.

It was then that he got a genius idea, one that would probably cause all of his wives to beat him to a pulp due to how dangerous and ridiculous it was.

What if he knitted that thing inside his stomach? Arad really wanted to have several barrels of black coffee right about now to think about this whole thing.

Arad is a void dragon. He should be able to suppress the black hole and keep it in check as long as it doesn’t grow too big. He already has hundreds of [Ho-white Nova]s inside him, which were like tiny suns.

Yeah, forget eating a world to grow stronger. He’ll carve his own path through void magic. The small world inside his stomach is enough to house his wives for now. That is why he wants to try to house a black hole inside his stomach and use it as a fuel source.

Yes, if he managed to knit the yarn ball in his stomach and keep it stable, then he’ll be able to use its powerful pull to forcefully suck up all the debris, Rey and Ray included into his stomach whether they like it or not.

Now the problem. He wants to get inside them, not the other way around. They’ll rip his stomach open and escape.

What will he do?
