The dragon's harem

Taking another step, Plum found herself standing alone in an endless jungle. Ancient black trees, a red sun, and titanic monsters crawled all around her. The smallest of them was a hundred meters tall, making her nothing more than a bug on the ground.

She lifted her head and closed her eyes. Arad and Gojo aren’t in this world, and there is a World Tree on the other side of this planet, so she should leave.

With another step, she disappeared.

Her roots grew longer, bigger, stronger, and darker. With each passing second, Plum’s reach spread through the universe, carefully avoiding Yggdrasil and looking around for Arad.

With each step, Plum found herself in a new, strange world. All of them belonged to Yggdrasil, and until now, only one didn’t have a World Tree.

A few worlds became a dozen, and that dozen became several tens of worlds. After a while, she lost count and started jumping from one world to another the moment her roots reached it.

Then, after more than a hundred worlds, she finally pulled a bad one.

Standing on an old stone pathway, she looked around at the farms around her. The grass was green, the sky was blue, and the sun’s rays were warm. But when she looked around, something was off.

The world’s residents, they were off. Down by one of the farms, two women worked the field, each wearing the same brown robe and covering their hair with red cloths. When they looked at Plum, they had the same face.

Plum frowned, then closed her eyes, looking through every planet that she could reach. With each new thing she saw, she grew more worried.

They all looked the same. This entire world, or at least the continent she landed on, was inhabited only by those women. Not a single other living being.

What made her even more terrified was what she saw next. Those women were the humans, the animals, the bugs, and even the monsters.

She could see a shepherd woman with her herd of naked, hairy women pretending to be the sheep.

She could see a pack of those women howling in the forest like wolves, running after another woman who jumped like a doe.

It was like someone had taken every living being in the world and switched their appearance with that of the woman’s look.

When she growled, the women in the farm below stood and glared at her with their glossy, pale green eyes. A second later, many more appeared, crawling out of the forest and their houses.

“Yeah, they did say some worlds were infested with abominations. Seems like I found one.” She floated up and approached one of the women.

As she looked at the woman’s eyes, Plum felt something else glaring back at her. Something abhorrent and alien. She smiled, touching the woman’s face and looking right into her eye.

“Yep, you’re there. I know you can see me, monster.” She blew at the woman’s eye. In that moment, the woman’s head burst with wooden spikes, and she fell dead.

All hell broke loose.

All of the women screamed and lunged at her. Even with how frail they looked, each one of them swung her arm with enough power to shatter stone and cause a small burst of air on each hit.

“I’d say, each around level 100, so not that much power.”

Plum flew into the sky and looked at the women growing even more rabid.

“One abomination controls them all. Does that mean I need to find the right woman between a billion twins? Wait, animals and bugs are counted as well, so hundreds of billions of women.”

She reached the clouds and looked down with a grin.

“I needed some fertilizer after all, a few corpses would be perfect.”

First, she had to find a suitable place to plant her seed, a vast fertile plane would do. But not a minute later, she was already getting chased around by over fifty flying wizards; all of them looked the same, only with different robes.

Plum was lucky,; whatever this abomination was, its power was both harrowing and easy to deal with. Controlling millions of level 100 human-looking things was powerful, but not a single one of those women could match Plum’s speed or raw power.

“You’re slow! Lose some weight!” She glared back at them and accelerated away, leaving them behind. She can run from them forever if she wants.

But a minute later, she found another terrifying thing. The sun was fake. As Plum flew close to the clouds, she reached the sun, which was just a massive ball of light magic that flew around the world to create the cycle of day and night.

“Of course, the sun is fake, I bet the moon is as well.” She looked at the ground and shouted. “You wouldn’t want the gods finding you, right?”

If the sun were real, Amaterasu would’ve long since learned of this world and cleansed it.

Plum wanted to destroy the fake sun and see how the abomination would react, but she decided against it. Sunlight, even if fake, was helpful to her as well. She needed it to grow healthy and strong trees.

After almost a full hour of searching, she finally found an empty plane large enough. She landed in the middle and looked around; all of the nearby villages were already moving toward her.

“Sorry, this might hurt a lot.”

Her feet turned into wood, sank into the ground, and grew roots. A second later, her body exploded into a growing mass of wood and leaves. She turned into a massive sapling that rapidly grew in size, causing a massive earthquake as the roots ripped through the layers of the planet, reaching deep in search of water.

The nearby villages were crushed, and the entire hill disappeared beneath the massive trunk. In less than ten minutes, a massive tree with a ten-kilometer-wide trunk appeared out of nowhere and started taking hold. Its endless leaves bloated the sun, casting an opressive shadow over the entire region.

From the tree’s trunk, millions of fairies swarmed out like a black cloud, assaulting all nearby villages and forests to kill every vessel of the abomination that was in their queen’s land.

Plum sat on her throne at the summit of the tree, looking at the world with an amused smile.

“My Queen!” A fairy approached her and knelt right beneath her feet. “It’ll take us several months to clear this entire world, but it’s safer to assume two years are needed.”

She looked at the fairy and frowned. “Are you sure?”

The fairy lifted her head and looked at her Queen’s face. “That’s our best estimate. But I have a suggestion to speed things up. But…”

“What ’but’ are we talking about?”

Under Plum’s glare, the fairy trembled for a second then steeled herself.

“What if we asked the other Spirit Queens for help?”

Plum sighed.

“So it’s the other Queens’ butts coming into my matters.”

She took a deep breath.

“I guess we don’t have a choice. I want to clear this world and use it as fuel to increase my growing speed, so I can search for Arad faster. So, we can’t waste time.”

She waved her hand, and after a minute, the fairy Queens started showing up one after another, teleported there using Plum’s roots.

The first to appear was Salamander, then Undine, then Zephyr, Nar, Gaia and lastly Rilyeh.

“I want you to help me clear this world. It’s full with just one abomination that looks like a hot farm girl. And yes, she is rabid and will bite you.”
