My interracial harem of beautiful queens

Chapter 233 Higher Realm, Conspiracy

In front of the Queen of the Sea, after a prolonged silence and some actions by the guards, acting under the orders of the Queen, who turned out to be Elaine, the mermaid queen. Despite her youthful appearance, in reality, she was as old as the world.

Unfortunately, Adam had no information about her, as it was extremely difficult to learn anything about the sea people. They behaved very discreetly and only occasionally showed their intention to intervene in the affairs of the outside world. Their reputation was as mysterious as nymphs, so there was no need to mention the mystery of the sea races.

Through his experience, Adam had seen many races – mermaids, sirens, sea dragons (which, despite their name, were not dragons). In general, the underwater world was extremely diverse and included many races, with plenty of experts. This momentarily threw him off balance, making him feel in danger once again.

Even the Vampire Queen, secretly growing in power, didn't have as much superpower as the sea creatures! The Siren Queen, or the Sea Queen named Elaine was extremely dangerous and powerful, and her rule extended across all seas. It seemed that she was a being on par with Veronica.

"And I'm sure that's true," Adam thought, looking at Elaine, who was casually sitting at the dining table.

They were in the same audience hall where they first met their true selves. As soon as the guards left at her command, several creatures with large bodies, resembling humanoid fish, brought in a huge long rectangular table, and then two luxurious high-backed chairs.

Adam sat at one end of the table, and Elaine at the other. From the outside, it seemed like they were on equal footing, but overall, Adam felt somewhat subdued. There was a sense of discomfort and danger.

Throughout the entire meal, Elaine did not say a word, but he felt his mind fading and thoughts difficult to gather as if he were in a strong alcoholic stupor. This feeling was unpleasant, but he could not resist. Even the system prompts were urging him to get away from here as soon as possible, but what could he do in his current situation?

After five hours, he completely blacked out. In a vast room, Elaine sat alone, and the cutlery made clinking sounds. She smiled carelessly and savored the exquisite dish.

***

Wide meadows were covered with a thin layer of frost, while flowers scattered throughout the space trembled as if they could wither at any moment. Adam observed all this in a trance.

This was the system space where he couldn't even access basic functions due to his complicated state, unable to even gather his thoughts. It seemed that Elaine's gentle singing affected him too strongly, eventually merging with his current state.

However, hours passed, and the frost covering the meadows began to melt. The flowers once again filled with bright colors, looking as if it was the peak of spring, where nature came alive from a deep sleep.

And then...

Ding!

[Enchantment of the Siren] was successfully canceled.

The system notification sound rang out, instantly waking Adam from his deep slumber. He looked around with a serious expression, and the familiar menu appeared in front of him.

[Royal Arena] | [Hall of Meditation] | [Skills] | [Chamber of Commerce] | [Inventory]

"What a nightmare. Seems like I got into some unpleasant shit," Adam thought with a sigh, his face full of bitterness. Sitting on the grass, he frowned, "What the hell does this woman want from me? I was minding my own business, not bothering anyone, and here I am in another mess."

He couldn't help but imagine what would have happened if the system hadn't helped him in time. Adam could have ended up in the illusion forever, not waking up, and then he could have been used for various purposes!

"All right, let's take a look first..."

Wanting to gain a little support, he reached for the button leading to the Inventory, but suddenly a strange sensation came over him, and then a chill ran down his spine. In the same second, his consciousness was pulled back into his body.

***

Everything was dark. Occasionally, quiet breathing sounds could be heard. Adam felt a slight weight above him and warmth around his neck.

With difficulty, he managed to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a strange creature, resembling a cat but with a light blue color of fur and long, sharp ears.

"Meow?" The creature made a sound, tilting its head to the side.

"What is this..."

Adam frowned, puzzled. He immediately began to look around and was surprised to find himself on the seashore. The soft sand was beneath him, and the only creature near him was this strange cat. Besides that, there was nothing else.

The location was significantly different from anything he had ever seen. The air here was very clean, and the magical energy floating in the air was so pure and pleasant that his body, still not in the best condition, began to gradually heal! The dirty magical energy in his channels was replaced by the pure one.

"What is this place?" He thought bewilderedly and frowned, sensing something. He quickly examined his body: "Uh-oh..."

His development! His level, his power that he had been accumulating all this time... it was gone!

"What the hell?!"

Under his surprised cry, a system notification sounded.

Ding!

[Detected: User has entered the Higher Realm...]

[Attention! Attention! The Will of the Higher Realm is attempting to expel the user... Decision #1 accepted].

[User's development has been reset]

[Integration with the Higher Realm is in progress...]

Adam stared in shock at all these notifications.

"What?"

***

Veronica, with heavy breathing, looked at the location where the sea kingdom was. In the distance, in her castle, Elaine met her gaze, standing next to the portal, which was gradually disappearing.

"Elaine! How dare you send him there?!" Veronica shouted in anger, and her aura shook everything around.

"Hehe."

Elaine carelessly smiled and covered her sea kingdom with her aura, rising into the air. The portal behind her closed and disappeared. Floating in the air right in front of Veronica, she smiled.

"You came a little later than I expected. Though, it doesn't matter," Elaine began speaking, wiping the useless smile off her face and replacing it with a disappointed expression: "I wonder how much you knew about him?"

"What does that have to do with Adam?" Veronica frowned.

"Adam? Who said I was referring to him?" Elaine replied and chuckled, clapping her hands: "I mean [email protected]... um, well, you should have understood. Didn't you know that chuckled, clapping her hands: "I mean [email protected]... um, well, you should have understood. Didn't you know that sending Adam here is part of his plan?"

"..."

Silence fell. Veronica frowned with an irritated expression, and her hands clenched into fists – she was gripping them so tightly that there was a cracking sound. The aura around her was extremely dangerous, but Elaine showed no hint of fear, just smiling in her carefree manner.

"The Vampire Queen, the Elf Queen, the Werewolf Queen, and others have known about this plan for a long time, but apparently, you haven't. Who would have thought that he didn't tell you anything?" Elaine shook her head with laughter: "Either way, you just need to accept the fact that the world has already started to turn. The Higher Realm was a place we aspired to reach since ancient times, but the Gods restricted us. Now our key has set its course and will be the beacon of hope for all beings."

With a flourish of her arms in both directions, Elaine smiled and looked excited. Her eyes were burning, and it was evident that she was thrilled.

"Veronica, this is the world you aspire to. Join our plan and become part of the new generation that will surpass the gods!"

***

Without any development to his name, Adam had to immediately find shelter where he could wait it out. He tried to log into the system, but...

[Unable to log into the system. An update related to entering the Higher Realm is in progress.]

His attempts were interrupted by cruel messages about the system undergoing an update. It was incomprehensible to him, and he could only wait.

Now his body felt incredibly weak, which was understandable given that his development had been reset. Moreover, Adam felt drastic changes in his body. He absorbed magical energy much more easily, but that wasn't the most important part.

His insides! Although his organs hadn't changed, they became stronger, and in the place of his heart were two spheres – one golden, the other black. The golden sphere purified magical energy and served as a reservoir, while the black one did the same with demonic poison.

In addition, his entire body became stronger than before, and there was a feeling that he had undergone evolution. He was still a demon, but there was a sense that he had risen above being just a royal demon.

"What is this even? Why am I here? Could it be..."

Adam frowned, remembering Elaine, who could be the reason he was here. Most likely, he was involved in a conspiracy.

"If you think about it, the system seemed as if it was ready for something like this," he thought, frowning.

The system. The power he gained since reincarnating into the body of a demon. At first, he thought it was some unconscious force, but now everything seemed too suspicious. Moreover, Casanova had some connection to this, and most likely, Adam was at the center of a major conspiracy.

The Higher Realm mentioned seemed extremely dangerous. He constantly felt bursts of immense energy, which the system rated at A+ rank – a peak among mortals in his past world. And there weren't just two, three, or five of such auras. There were more than a hundred!

He immediately felt uncomfortable. There was a sharp sense that he wouldn't last long in this world.
