Heaven, Earth, Me

The dragoness opened her eyes and looked around. She could see so many things that were invisible to her before. The most glaring among those was the energy that objects and other bodies radiated. This allowed the powerful Stars and other celestial objects to make their presence known in the void of the cosmos, literally lighting up the vast cosmos.

Naturally, the biggest source of that radiation came from behind her, and turning around, she identified the source as the Sun of this solar system. Alaia had to move the warship when Yasenia turned to not be hit by her.

'Wow… the Sun's amount of energy is… incredible. Such raw and pure energy, spreading through everything and dominating space with its unequal presence.'

The second strongest radiation source was much closer. And even if it was incomparable to the Sun, it was large enough to be detectable from where she was. 'Distancia Continent… Is this how Star Beasts guide themselves through the cosmos? That's interesting…' She pondered and slowly turned around. 'If that source is Distancia, the other one that I can sense should be…. Hm. As expected. The [Forgotten Star Area].'

While she was pondering about these thoughts, she heard someone speak to her through both spiritual sense and voice. "Yasenia! Can you hear me?"

Looking down at them, the dragoness was confused. 'I can hear her voice? How? Can I now perceive the vibrations of the cosmos as well?'

"Love, please answer me!"

Kali's shout snapped her out of her thoughts, and the dragoness smiled. "Huh? Why are you so small? Did you shrink, Honey?"

Kali asked with a deadpan. "Really? WE have shrunk!? That's your conclusion!?"

Yasenia laughed. "I am messing with you, honey. It is of course I who has become larger~." The dragoness used a hand to easily surround the ship and laughed. "I have grown quite a bit."

Kali sighed, looking at the massive golden claws that surrounded them. Honestly, if Yasenia weren't her lover, this situation would look like a Dragon God looking down on a bunch of little mortals. Kali asked, worried. "Is this your default size now? Can you change it? You are gargantuan! Big enough to coil around our mountain back at home!"

Yasenia smiled and lifted the warship to her eye level, turning her face so that her large golden eye was looking straight at them. "Don't worry, Honey. While it would be nice, this is not my standard size. I can feel my own body consuming the Cosmic Energy around me to keep my size. The second I stop absorbing it, I'll probably shrink."

Kali sighed in relief and nodded a few times. "Okay. That's good! That's a big relief!"

Yasenia snorted. "Why are you so happy about that, eh?"

Kali rolled her eyes. "How else will you fit with us otherwise? I want to be cuddled by you, not… I don't know, 'housed' by your massive body! Even your eye is almost as big as this warship!"

Yasenia burst into laughter. "Housed… Hahaha. That was a good one, Honey. Still~, I didn't know my honey would look down on me if I became larger~."

Kali sighed with a smile. "Silly girl, you are bigger than Lord Boreas and Lady Eira."

Eira, the swordswoman, blinked. "Hm? I am human-sized. I can't become that big."

Selena chuckled. "The Ice Phoenix matriarch, not you. You two share names."

Eira spoke indifferently. "Oh."

Meanwhile, Yasenia bragged. "Isn't that awesome? I am bigger than peak-level Mythical Realm beasts!"

Kali's eyebrows twitched. "Say, how do you think that I would look if I transformed and stood by your side?"

Yasenia blinked. "Adorable? I could probably tickle your fluffy belly with my claw."

Kali imagined the situation, and she would be lying if she didn't want to try that. However, she cleared her throat and thoughts, and she commented. "That's not the point! If you grow too big… Sigh." Suddenly, Kali had a flashback to Tatyana's and Tian Long's conversation about him becoming so massive, and her eyes flashed with an idea. "So, you want to be like your Uncle Tian Long? Having females run from you because you are too big?"

Yasenia's massive eye blinked twice, and she quickly changed her mind. "Being this big has no advantages either way. Who would want to be so big, right? Being big is bad. It makes a human appear as dangerous as a parasite! Bad, very bad!"

Kali laughed, and Valeria interfered. "Don't be so quick to judge, Yasenia. Your size has many advantages."

Yasenia asked. "Does it?"

Valeria nodded. "Of course. First of all, you absorb energy faster. In that shape, you can probably cultivate the fastest."

Kali gave Valeria a side-eye, but she didn't interrupt. If there were actual benefits for being this large, then she would naturally want to listen to them. Valeria explained. "Second of all, you are now in harmony with the cosmos, thanks to the cosmic energy that has allowed you to somehow create this mass out of nowhere…"

Yasenia asked. "Out of nowhere?"

Valeria shrugged. "I mean, you would shrink if you stopped absorbing it, no? That makes your current form unstable. You have an affinity toward the cosmos, and thanks to that affinity, you are using a source of energy to… well, create mass from pure energy."

The dragoness became thoughtful. "I see."

Valeria smiled. "One last and very important obvious benefit is your strength. You should be quite a lot stronger than usual. How about you try shooting a [Sun Dragon Breath]?"

Yasenia hummed. "Sure, I'll give it a try."

Then, the dragoness turned her head toward where she thought it would hit nothing, and her body started moving energy from her Dantian toward her body. The literal rivers of energy traversed her enormous meridians and gathered toward her lungs, accumulating a massive amount of Sun energy.

The pressure her body produced during this process was high enough that it created a small gravitational pull, making all the people on the ship look shocked.

Then, Yasenia opened her massive maw, and her enchanting voice resonated with the cosmos around her. "[Sun Dragon Breath]."

WHOOM!

A silent explosion occurred as a mini sun was born for a second. Then, a beam larger than the asteroid Yasenia had kept in her ring shot forward, illuminating the dark cosmos with its bright glare.

Kali and the maids looked at that beam with widened eyes. Selena even commented. "To be completely honest, I wouldn't be comfortable defending against that,"

Valeria smiled deeply and muttered to herself. "Truly a being made to conquer the cosmos."

After Yasenia stopped firing, she looked at the beam shooting into the distance with large, blinking eyes. Seeing the golden beam shrinking in size but not truly dissipating, she couldn't help but wonder if that would land somewhere it shouldn't.

Still, the dragoness didn't focus on that for long. After all, when she was preparing the dragon breath attack, she could feel all kinds of energies inside of herself that gave her a deeper understanding of her own energy. 'My own energy is the last thing I needed to understand. Nothing about voids, nothing about the cosmos. The purest form of Celestial Energy is inside of me. That blue star with the black halo, that's what I needed to understand.'

And when she thought of that, her conscience sank into her Dantian and saw the [Celestial Energy Star] spinning quite gently. It was telling her that she could look as much as she pleased. Very different from the first time she confronted it. At first, before she understood the Celestial Intent, the star was like a wild animal that wouldn't allow her to touch her.

After so many years, it felt like she was about to tame it. Of course, she had no delusion that this was the truth. Someone at her cultivation level couldn't really uncover the mysteries of the [Celestial Energy Star]. Still, when she tried to control the star, it did not resist like before; it allowed its aura and energy to spread and mix with her liquid energy, purifying it more into a form of lower-quality Celestial Energy.

When that finished, Yasenia felt her aura go under a metamorphosis. Kali, Valeria, and the maids could sense how a new layer of mystery was added to Yasenia's powerful and deep aura. It felt like a cosmic veil had suddenly covered her, making her presence more empyrean and ethereal.

Her enormous dragon body now didn't just look, but it felt as if it was a patch of the night sky that had taken a dragon shape. Yasenia opened her eyes, her irises flashing with deep blue light for a second, and then they returned to their usual golden color.

Valeria smiled. "She did it. [Celestial Intent Level 9]."

Yasenia looked down and smiled. "Indeed. I did it."

Kali clapped and laughed. "Congratulations, love! You are awesome!"

Yasenia chuckled. "While we are around 10 minutes away in the ship, can I try flying towards Distancia with you by my side? I want to feel the cosmos under my wings."

The maids nodded, and Alaia threw something. "Young Miss, your presence is increasingly similar to the space around you. Hold that so we can identify you easily and follow along."

Yasenia extended her giant claw and allowed the little item to lodge between the scales of her hand. After all, it was just too small for Yasenia to be able to hold it.

After that, the dragoness looked toward Distancia and began moving slowly. Alaia was about to tell her directions, but seeing her Young Miss move with confidence toward the planet, she didn't interrupt.

The warship was effortlessly able to keep up with Yasenia's current speed, so they flew by Yasenia's head. The dragoness's massive wings, spanning as much distance as her length, moved the energies of the cosmos, creating invisible whirls. Her speed, which was moderate at first, quickly increased.

Of course, because of the frictionless nature of the void, Yasenia's acceleration wasn't noticeable unless occasional asteroids appeared.

Alaia warned. "Young Miss, asteroid in front."

"I see it." Yasenia answered faintly, and her right wing flapped, moving her body in a spiral that allowed her to dodge the asteroid perfectly.

After doing the roll, she stabilized and squinted. "I am going to start using my movement skills. Be attentive, Alaia."

Alaia frowned. "Young Miss, you might crash against the asteroids."

Yasenia smiled confidently. "I feel that they are not going to do anything to me. Don't worry."

Her energy surged, and her wings extended fully. Fourteen stars appeared around her, and then, Yasenia shot forward. "[Pegasus Gallop]."

Alaia accelerated at the same time, easily keeping up. However, Yasenia's draconic lips arched. "I've always had this strange thought. It is called a gallop, right? Not a jump… So… Haha~."

Kali looked at Yasenia and asked, a bit unsure. "Love, are you sure the asteroids won't hurt you?"

"Yes. Now, let's gallop."

Then, instead of leaving her four dragon limbs hanging as she flew, they started moving and stepping on "nothing."

"[Heavenly Constellation Steps, First Sky: Pegasus Gallop]."

BOOM!

Yasenia's body streaked forward and constantly accelerated. Alaia spoke loudly. "Asteroid in three! Two!"

Yasenia bent her head and placed her horns forward. "BREAK!"

BANG!

The asteroid blew up into thousands of pieces as Yasenia zoomed through it, not leaving even a scratch on her head. Seeing that she was okay, the maids didn't stop her, and Yasenia accelerated fast enough that she would arrive at Distancia in a day at most.
