Perfect. Saves me the trouble of sending someone to your tribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder’s grin widened, growing more brazen by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, I am the ruler of the three domains. Your merfolk must present tribute every year—one million pink pearls, ten million white pearls, one hundred thousand bolts of silk, and—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went on and on, listing demand after demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen’s face flushed crimson with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the fact that Thunder was eleventh rank—far beyond his ability to defeat—he would have already lunged forward and lashed him to death with his tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What ’new ruler’?\" Wen’s voice was sharp with anger. \"Our merfolk recognize only the Dragon Lord as our sovereign.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the Beast God gone mad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To allow someone as cunning, greedy, and despicable as Thunder to reach the eleventh rank..!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paros had ruled the three domains for years, and never once demanded tribute from any clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when the dragon clan traded with others, they paid fairly in star coins and crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this man—newly advanced—already sought to strip every clan bare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the three domains fell into his hands, it would be nothing short of a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder let out a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad... your Dragon Lord is about to die. Right now, I am the only eleventh-rank in the three domains. If you refuse to acknowledge me, then your merfolk will have no reason to exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his strength, wiping out a clan without an eleventh-rank protector would be effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dare threaten my people?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rory hadn’t grabbed him, Wen would have already charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As king of the merfolk, even if it meant mutual destruction, he would protect his people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen, calm down.\" Rory’s voice was steady, though anger burned beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was not the time to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was what eleventh rank brought—unchecked arrogance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Vincent and Xarion arrived, she would make sure they crushed Thunder where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wen restrained by a female, Thunder’s gaze shifted to Rory, dark with intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... little female. You’re his mate, aren’t you? Not bad. You’re quite pretty. Once I kill that fish, you’ll belong to me.

I’ll kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But someone moved faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of golden light shot forward—too fast for the eye to follow—and struck Thunder square in the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no thunderous explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a dull, sickeningthud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder didn’t even have time to react before he was blasted backward like a ragged sack, lifted off his feet and hurled across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paros followed in the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You insult my mate. Threaten the clans of my domain. Thunder—today, you die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sandon and Ethan rushed in, immediately grabbing hold of Paros as Thunder struggled back to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Lord, let us handle this! Your injuries haven’t healed—you cannot fight him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mental state had only just stabilized, his wounds not yet fully recovered. If he fought now, the consequences could be dire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were old—lives already long lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not fear death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they would not let him risk his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder wiped the blood from his lips, a twisted grin spreading across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had been right––Paros was indeed still injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, these two would never have stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha... Paros, you really are wounded.\" His laughter rang with savage delight. \"Then today, you all die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Paros fell, the three domains would be his. \"You think you can kill me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paros’s gaze turned cold and dangerous as he looked at Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand lifted slightly... brushing against the small fruit hidden in his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy... are you worried about Terry?\" Terry’s soft voice echoed faintly in his mind. \"Don’t worry. Terry can protect himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, Daddy! Beat the bad beast who insulted Mommy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re sure you can protect yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even injured, Paros was confident he could kill Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only concern... was the small life perched above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Rory’s child. If anything happened during the fight, Rory would be worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rushed over, glancing first at his hair. Seeing that Terry remained hidden, she let out a quiet breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she looked at Paros. \"Find a way to stall him for ten minutes. Vincent and Xarion will be here soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent had just sent another message—they were only ten minutes away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing an enemy and retreating was not Paros’s way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Rory—and for the child—he pressed his lips together, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Understood. Don’t worry. I’ll protect you. And Terry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I trust you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory did. But she also knew he was still injured. If fighting could be avoided, it should be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Thunder—who had secretly taken a healing potion—felt his strength returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Paros and the beautiful female whispering to each other, his patience snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a hand, lightning gathering—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thunder!\" Rory’s voice cut through the air. \"You want to rule the three domains, don’t you? Paros agrees to it. Wen agrees to your demands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder froze mid-motion. \"...You’re serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory looked up—just as two figures appeared in the sky, one white, one crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow smile spread across her lips. \"You idiot. Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed straight at Thunder. \"Xarion. Vincent. Kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Thunder could react, a massive white shadow materialized in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jaws clamped down around his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything happened too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Rory could even process it, a towering figure already stood before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled her into his arms without hesitation, holding her tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory... I’m sorry. I’m late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DOn’t worry about it.\" She hugged him back. \"You came at the perfect time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been prepared to stall longer—but they had arrived sooner than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a surge of lightning, Thunder forced himself free from the white wolf’s jaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xarion...?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he recognized the massive white wolf, his pupils shrank in sheer terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood poured from his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was scorched in places—burned by his own lightning as he struggled free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why wasthis monsterhere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic overtook him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white wolf’s gaze followed him, filled with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pathetic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected more from an eleventh-rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Xarion shifted back into human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and walls of ice surged up from the ground, sealing Thunder in from all sides, trapping him within an inescapable frozen prison.\u003C\u002Fp>",1189,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","149659b22fccb9dbac1d36e086b9ca020409565075dc0f16f176f0e997fc4ec0","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-51","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-221",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
