Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Chapter 552 551: Unofficial Ruler

"I'll take that snake one who reels of poison. His core must be tasty" Hope replied seriously while looking at the humanoid beast with serpent eyes.

The beast felt a chill go down its spine. It heard everything she said and almost blurted out, "Since when did cores have taste? And don't you absorb them? Why do you sound like you want to eat them instead?! Who's the real beast here?"

But it's pride stopped it. It refused to argue with a human woman who seemed to be pregnant too. And why was she even here with that big belly?!

"O..okay" Muku didn't say anything and let her have her way.

After all, she might start crying if he questioned her choices. Which has been happening a lot lately.

It seems even an R9 can't escape the hormonal imbalances caused by pregnancy somehow.

At the very least she wasn't vomiting left and right or getting randomly sick so it was fine. It was part of the process of being a husband and soon-to-be father Muku had to go through... At least that's what he told himself so as not to lose it and go get milk.

Nuh, that's a joke. He would never go get milk. There were no shops left, so that excuse was out of the question. He'd have to think of something ne...

Anyway, after Hope chose hers, the others did the same after studying the grey space in which only they had colour.

There was no up or down, no left or right. Just like outer space.

There were rocks, skeletons, and all kinds of matter floating around.

All of it was brought into being by all the battles that happened before. A huge beast skull that radiated aura beyond R9 floated by and none dared get too close as even as a skull it felt like it would melt them if they approached...

The one who ended up with two opponents was Althea who requested it.

She said that even the strongest was nothing to her, so she needed at least that much not the feel bored.

Consider who she was, no one disagreed.

Muku was more than willing to let her have them. If she didn't want them, he would have had to take them.

Sure, he would likely not have too much of a problem with them but why do more work when you can do less?

And so, like the girls, he had one opponent who wasn't even the strongest or second strongest since those were the ones Althea chose.

After that, an interesting thing happened.

They were all separated again and everyone was taken into a different dimension of the space.

It was almost like there was a system overlooking everything that noticed that it wasn't going to be a group battle, so it separated them.

But no such thing happened. It was obviously Mrs C who did something behind the scenes again.

In normal circumstances, whether they choose to have a one-on-one, they wouldn't be separated and would just choose to fight one-on-one in the same space.

But of course, the boss lady who liked seeing as much action as possible like her son who she likely gave that trait didn't want it to end too soon or as a group fight.

The overseer quietly rolled its eyes from a distance.

It had also observed Muku organising his tournaments which made it realise that this family was a lost cause...

....

Althea's battle...

"Hahahaha. That foolish human. To think he would let the woman do the heavy lifting. Hahaha. Let's make him regret it in the worst way possible. First, we will subdue this woman then defile her and show him. I heard that there is nothing worse for a human man than seeing his woman getting defiled or at least knowing that it happened" One beast who had goat-like horns smiled evilly.

They weren't sexually attracted to humans but if they wanted to do something they could. Just like humans with animals. It was messed up in the worst way possible, but it was possible.

Hell, they practically looked human at the moment, so it wasn't too unacceptable based on appearances at least.

"Yes. Let's do that. Hahaha. I've always wanted to taste a human but never got the chance and feared being judged. But if it's here and you also want to. Hehehe" The other beast replied creepily.

So creepily it made the other one pause a bit. It felt that its friend was a bit too weird and the taste a bit too heavy.

After all, it was only interested in doing it to torture the woman and man. But this friend was clearly doing it just for the love of the game.

But it didn't call him out and just laughed it off with a barely hidden judgmental look in its eyes.

"Insolent ants. To dare want to defile this Monarch. For even thinking about it, you will die today with no corpse or soul" Althea spoke venomously with anger practically oozing out of her very being.

She has never been so disrespectful in her whole life. Who did they think they were? Not even Monarchs dared say it think such things. The only male allowed to think about it was Muk... Cough. Anyway, Althea had completely forgotten that she technically wasn't a Monarch but just a random R9 at the point.

So their disrespect wasn't towards a Monarch but a human woman. But then again, who could reason with her at the moment? She was completely fuming.

"Hahahaha. What a delusional human woman. To actually call yourself a Monarch. Even your so-called guardians aren't worthy enough to lick a Monarch's claws!" The creepy beast which had monkey fur all over its body replied disdainfully.

"For that disrespect, you're going to suffer even more than you were going to" The goathorned beast spoke with absolute anger in its voice.

How dare this human disrespect Monarchs like this? She deserved death! No, a fate worse than death! And that's what they were going to give her.

With that said, both their auras changed and filled up the whole space which was as big as a galaxy.

The combined force pressed down on Althea and they charged at the same time wanting to finish the fighting part as quickly as possible then start the torture.

And they successfully made it happen. The battle was over instantly.

But not in the way they hoped it would.

They reached the place Althea stood before with punches that would have obliterated the galaxy in the outside world but they caught nothing.

Before they could react they felt pain in their chest area.

They looked down and both were missing their cores.

"Sigh. I wanted their hearts. That way they could live a bit longer. Unfortunately, I'm still unfamiliar with this strength so my accuracy was off" Althea spoke from behind them.

Black blood flowed out of the wounds uncontrollably as they heard her speak and before they could do anything else.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

Both their heads exploded. And they were dead. Everything happened in less than thirty seconds.

It would have been a split second if Althea were serious.

No, she wasn't that much stronger than the. Well, she was. But she didn't use her overwhelming strength this time. Instead, she used experience and technique.

Due to her experience, she knew what they would do before they even knew it. Because of her technique, she ripped through their defences and pulled out their cores with the least effort required.

That was the difference between a Monarch and a random beast. Hell, even Muku would have ended up the very same way against her with his current strength.

After all, Althea wasn't just a Monarch. She was "THE" Monarch. The strongest of them all. The unofficial Ruler of Monarchs and the best world.

It was unofficial simply because she was too lazy to rule...

"Sigh. Maybe I should have taken them all for myself. This was still as boring as fighting one would have been. Not to mention they were rude. But hey, at least we now have goat and monkey meat. I don't know if humans would want monkey meat though. But that Raya child should be interested..." Althea spoke to herself casually as if she had not just instantly killed two R9s without breaking a sweat or using any Beast Aura.

She then placed the two humongous beast corpses that had returned to their original forms into her storage ring along with the cores she had no use for.

Soon after that, a bright doorway appeared in front of her and she entered through it without any hesitation.

It was so bright she couldn't help but close her eyes.

When she opened them she was in Muku's dimension.

Unlike her quick fight. He and his opponent were exchanging blows and flying all over the place and destroying everything in their way.

It looked way more fun than hers.

"Tsk. Why didn't I think of this?!" She complained in a low voice as she continued watching the fight...

....

From an unknown room in an unknown place.

Mrs C overlooked everything with a little smile on her face.

"This Althea girl is quite skilled. She reminds me of my younger self. Of course, I was more beautiful" Mrs C commented out of nowhere.

The dragon lady who was sitting beside her drinking some tea almost choked from what she heard.

She was also doing her best to stop herself from cursing Mrs C for being such a shameless old lady.

How can she say such things with a straight face?

"I can say them because they are true. What's shameless about that? And old? Me? Well, I guess it's finally time for that dragon tail soup you've always wanted me to try my dear Elena" Mrs C spoke with a gentle smile on her face as she looked at the dragon lady.

"No, no, stay away! Ahhhhhhhhhh!" The dragon lady's scream of terror was heard in the distance by the overseer who dared not get too close or even probe the place lest he be made to join in too...
