My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 623: Heroes

"What?! The Holy Empire has summoned Heroes from another world?!" Selena and Priscilla exclaimed in unison, their disbelief evident in their voices.

Anna and the others raised their brows in shock, except for Fang Xiaoyan and Xi Meili, who both appeared clueless about the concept of Hero summoning.

"Hero summoning? What's that?" Fang Xiaoyan asked Anna, a puzzled look crossing her face.

Xi Meili mirrored her confusion, her questioning gaze shifting to Anna as well.

The group exchanged astonished glances, their wide-open eyes betraying their surprise at Fang Xiaoyan and Xi Meili's ignorance of what seemed to be common knowledge.

"Are you two seriously unaware of Hero summoning? This is unbelievable!" Emperor Philip muttered, his tone tinged with disbelief as he stared at the pair.

'Isn't summoning Heroes from another world common knowledge? How could they be so clueless about something so obvious?'

Emperor Philip thought to himself, almost shouting in his mind, utterly baffled by their ignorance.

"Well, this is the first time I've ever heard of Hero summoning," Fang Xiaoyan admitted, her voice tinged with curiosity. "Even my grandpa and grandma never mentioned anything like this to me."

"I've also never encountered anything about Hero summoning," Xi Meili added calmly. "Not even in the inherited memories of my ancestors."

Empress Selena turned to Anna and the others with a curious smile. "And what about the rest of you? Are you all as clueless about Hero summoning as they are?"

"No, we're aware of it," Anna replied with a soft smile, shaking her head slightly. "However, I've never heard of anyone actually using this method to summon Heroes. It requires an enormous living sacrifice to bring them from another world."

Anna placed her hands gently on her thighs and continued with a thoughtful expression, "The last recorded Hero summoning happened five hundred years ago. Those Heroes were said to be incredibly powerful, almost godlike in strength."

"But that's the extent of my knowledge," she added with a sigh, leaning back against the sofa. "I've never heard of anyone attempting this ritual again—until now."

Though Hero summoning was considered common knowledge in the world, the specific method behind it was known only to a few powerful and influential individuals.

The ritual required an immense amount of mana—far beyond what a single individual could possess. To complete the summoning, tens of thousands of people were needed to provide the mana required for success.

Since the mana required to complete the ritual and summon Heroes from another world was immense, the participating mages would inevitably lose their lives. Their souls would serve as additional energy sources to ensure the ritual's success.

Emperor Philip leaned back against his sofa, exhaling deeply before speaking. "I only hope the Holy Empire keeps their Heroes in check. By summoning them, they've already declared war."

"Indeed," Empress Selena agreed, her expression grave. "Heroes are said to have unlimited potential. They can master all elements and aspects of both magic and combat. If given enough time to grow, they will become a force to be reckoned with." Her concern for the Lionheart Empire's future was unmistakable.

The Lionheart Empire had long been at odds with the Holy Empire. Now, the latter could use their Heroes as weapons, officially declaring war on the Lionheart Empire.

The Holy Church, wielding considerable influence across the continent, controlled the Holy Empire from the shadows, manipulating it like a puppet.

"I believe they summoned the Heroes to intimidate other empires, expecting them to surrender without resistance. But this could just as easily backfire," Grace remarked in a calm, icy tone. Resting her slender hand on Anna's thigh, she earned a warm smile as Anna clasped her hand in return.

"I think so too," Anna added confidently. "The other empires and kingdoms will undoubtedly feel threatened by this move. They won't hesitate to unite against the Holy Empire and the Holy Church."

Emperor Philip considered their words before nodding. "True. This will only make every nation more wary of them."

"Husband," Concubine Priscilla interjected with a confident smile, "since the Grand Auction begins tomorrow, we should seize the opportunity to gather potential allies. By doing so, we can build a coalition strong enough to overwhelm the Holy Empire and the Holy Church."

"I agree," Empress Selena said, her smile twisting into something almost predatory as she gripped her husband's hand firmly. "We must use this chance to bolster our strength and ensure they think twice before confronting us."

"It seems fate has handed us the perfect opportunity to increase our empire's power," Emperor Philip declared, laughing heartily. "Why shouldn't we take full advantage of it?"

"This is a godsend opportunity," he continued, his grin turning wicked. "After the auction ends, I'll invite a few potential guests to dinner. I'll ensure they can't refuse our offer."

"That's an excellent idea, husband," Concubine Priscilla replied with a sly smile, nodding in approval. She understood his intentions and was confident it would work in their favor.

Anna and the others listened silently, uninterested in the conversation. To them, it was irrelevant. They cared neither for the Holy Empire nor the Church, nor for the Heroes summoned from another world. None of it concerned them.

"Well, I think it's a good idea for you to prepare yourselves for any situation," Grace remarked with a cold grin. "The Holy Church is filled with hypocrites who don't care about the lives of ordinary people. But as for us, this has nothing to do with us. Don't expect our involvement—unless the Heroes provoke us."

"Well, that's unfortunate," Emperor Philip replied, his tone serious, "but we respect your choices. Rest assured, we won't ask or force you to act on our behalf. We'll handle this situation ourselves."

"Much appreciated, Emperor Philip," Grace responded with a nod, her expression cold and emotionless. Her tone carried an unmistakable edge.

A short while later, Crown Prince Daniel, Crown Princess Fiona, and their siblings arrived at the palace's living area. Empress Selena wasted no time explaining the situation, leaving them visibly shocked.

"The Holy Empire has summoned a group of Heroes from another world?!" Crown Prince Daniel exclaimed in disbelief. "Unbelievable! This is utterly unbelievable!"

Emperor Philip sighed, shaking his head. "As hard as it may be to believe, it's true. The Holy Empire has indeed summoned Heroes from another world."

Princess Fiona, still processing the news, muttered, "Summoning Heroes in a time of peace... What could their motive possibly be?"

"We don't know their exact motives," Concubine Priscilla interjected with a sigh, her brow furrowed. "But perhaps they're planning to subjugate the demi-human races. That's one possibility."

"Whatever their reasons," Emperor Philip said, his voice laced with anger and disdain, "summoning Heroes from another world without consulting the other empires and nations is a reckless act. They owe us an explanation."

His expression darkened as he continued, "And if they think they can gamble with the lives of billions, they'll soon find that there's a price to pay."

"Mmm…This feels so good, Husband! Please love me harder! Pound me harder! Anghhhh!" Valeria moaned as Yuan pounded her pussy repeatedly, his dick moving in and out of her.

With each thrust, the passion between them intensified. For a moment, Valeria and Yuan felt a magical connection, as if their souls had fused.

Vanessa watched Yuan and Valeria making love, the scene of Yuan's dick moving in and out of Valeria's aroused her immensely. She reached out her cum-filled pussy and fingered her own, subtly biting her lower lips.

'This is unbelievable… I can't believe I'm having sex with my son-in-law, and I'm watching my daughter do the same! This is simply too unreal for me!' Vanessa cried inwardly, seemingly in disbelief.

'To think that my son-in-law made love to me and filled me with cum…this is simply too unbelievable!' Vanessa muttered inwardly, staring at Yuan. Her heart pounded faster in her chest as her gaze landed on his handsome face.

"Oh yes! That's it! You're doing great, Yuan! Keep pounding me! Shove your dick deep inside me and fill me with your cum!" Valeria moaned loudly as Yuan continued to move his hips back and forth, thrusting his dick deep into her with each thrust.

Valeria's sensual and seductive moans reverberated throughout the room, intensifying the arousal of Vanessa, who was watching them from a distance. Vanessa couldn't resist the temptation and pushed two of her fingers into her own pussy, pinching her nipples in anticipation.

'I want to feel that dick again! My pussy is screaming to have it! What on earth is happening to my body? Why is it reacting this way? This is incredible!' Vanessa exclaimed in her mind, her fingers stroking her pussy faster and harder, pushing them all the way inside.

As she did, Yuan's cum began to ooze out of her pussy. She brought her cum-covered finger close to her mouth, inhaling the scent of her own juices and Yuan's cum.

An overwhelming urge surged through her, compelling her to lick Yuan's cum. Before she could stop herself, she popped her fingers into her mouth, and the taste of his cum hit her instantly, leaving her tongue tingling with pleasure.

'Unbelievable! How can someone's cum taste so divine? It's so sweet and delectable…If I indulge in his cum one more time, I won't be able to live without swallowing it daily!' Vanessa marveled at the addictive taste of Yuan's cum, yearning for more.
