Targaryen Who Turned Dragon

King's Landing, my bedchambers!

"As you command, Ser Aerion Targaryen, the Dragonknight."

...

Aerion smiled. "Now that you're here, there's no way out but to accept my proposal."

"Fool... you have brought calamity upon yourself for me, hmph, there's no greater fool than you!"

"You don't mean that, Jasmine. Now that you're free from the Old Villain's clutches forever and safe in my world, you can live however you wish. Also, the Star God Emperor isn't that big of a threat and it's only a matter of time before his reign ends. You did try to take my life once but you also saved me another time... heh, it's about time I repaid that favour, no?"

Aerion smiled. "This is my way of doing it."

Jasmine embraced Aerion and dug her head deep in his c.h.e.s.t. "I... can't thank you enough. If you hadn't interfered, then both I and Caizhi would have been sacrificed to the Old Villain."

Aerion felt slightly awkward so he tried to back away but Jasmine resisted.

"Hmph, you better not back away."

Aerion sighed. "As you wish."

This was a late-stage Divine Master and the Heavenly Slaughter Star God, who is well known for her ability to slaughter so Aerion didn't want to push his luck. Besides, the awkward feeling went away and he accepted her fully.

"Now there's not a single reason left for me to return to the Star God Realm. The only person who ever mattered was Caizhi and she's with us now. The Star God Realm no longer matters and neither does the Old Villain. In essence... I can stay with you forever, Aerion."

Quite a while later, Jasmine left his embrace and smiled.

I'm far too fortunate to have someone like big brother again. And this time, I won't let Ying'er take him away from me. No, he's more than just someone who can protect me... far more than that.

Jasmine finally accepted the reality of her feelings for Aerion.

"You don't have to marry Caizhi if you don't want to, asking for that was incredibly selfish of me."

Aerion chuckled. "Can I marry you instead?"

Jasmine seemed rather shocked by the offer but she did not reject it. "Later... when you fulfil your promise to me, hmph. I'll be kind and give you more than a year since this planet isn't too shabby."

"There might be an even better place of refuge for you. Its conditions are perfect for cultivation and you might even reach a breakthrough there." Aerion took out the Seventh Heaven Pearl.

"A pearl?"

"It's something you'd call a pocket realm. Enter and see for yourself."

Jasmine nodded and entered the Seventh Heaven Realm. Caizhi did the same, following her big sister's footsteps. Aerion entered soon after.

"After I passed the eleven rounds of lightning tribulation, I had gathered most of the lightning's profound energy and used it to create this world."

"It's... beautiful."

By now, the fields were covered by a myriad of beautiful and unique flowers all thanks to He Lin's efforts. Not a single plant in this realm was ordinary. Each and every one of them could be compared to a priceless treasure in the Primal Chaos Dimension. The reason why? There all had strong traces of Primiordal Energy which was impossible to find in Primal Chaos.

"If you decide to stay here, then I would be able to visit you at will. Little Rhae, He Lin, Icy, Rhaegal and Daemon reside here as well. It's either here or Planetos..."

"The decision is rather simple to make. I'll stay here." Jasmine replied. "And so will Caizhi."

"Good, I'll give you two some time to get used to the environment."

Aerion left the Seventh Heaven Realm and returned it to the Sky Poison Pearl.

"You feel no regrets for your actions. Hahaha, stealing away both of the Star God Emperor's daughters, he won't take this kindly, I'm sure." Rotias laughed.

I do not fear a mere Star God Emperor. However, in time, he will come to fear me. I'll cripple that bastard myself and take his Heavenly Chief divine power when the time comes. Then I will put the Star God Realm in place, under their new Star God Emperor.

Aerion left his bedchambers and casually walked into the main hall. He had passed a Kingsguard who bowed deeply to show his respect.

"Your... Grace?" Mace Tyrell muttered.

The entire hall grew silent as they looked up at the celestial being that was Aerion Targaryen. At this point, many revered him to be some kind of God and this was fair considering his god-like feats. Even though he was rarely present, the lords and commonfolk alike still saw him as the supreme emperor of New Valyria and did not dislike him in the slightest. In truth, they adored the dragon that was and is Emperor Aerion I Targaryen.

"How are you, father-in-law?"

"I am well.... more importantly, you have returned!"

Petyr Baelish smiled. "Your Grace, should I inform you of all the matters which occurred during this time?"

"At a later date," Aerion replied. "For now, I want you all to disperse."

"Very well, Your Grace."

The lords and ladies in the court left Aerion alone with Daenerys. He was the first to speak. "It has been a little over two years. Naerys should be around five and a half years old at this time, how is she?"

"She is doing well. It seems that you are alive and well... did you happen upon any difficult situations?"

"There was a time where my life was threatened but, apart from that, everything was rather simple. I made massive leaps in my cultivation and annihilated my competition at a rather important tournament. In three years, I should be able to make a certain change I was rather hesitant in making."

"And that is?"

"You see... this world lacks cultivation, starvation is a major problem, people lack a good quality of life in many places and the lifespan of those dear to me is far too low."

"Are you planning on spreading the profound way to this world, then?"

"Yes, something like that. When I become stronger enough, I'll add this world to the Primal Chaos Dimension and enhance it using my profound energy."

"That is going to be an enormous change..."

"When that time comes, I'll be sitting on the Iron Throne and managing the entire Empire so you don't have to worry about it."

Daenerys nodded. "Until then, I'll continue ruling in your stead."

Aerion smiled. "You are worthy of the title Dragon Empress."

Honestly, there's nothing better than a beautiful wife who can also rule an entire Empire while you're away.

"You did set up the Small Council with the most perfect candidates so what did you expect? Any ruler would thrive in that kind of environment." Rotias stated.

You give me too much credit, not just anyone can rule the Empire of New Valyria. Daenerys is a Dragon, much like myself.

"So, how long will you visit be this time?" Daenerys inquired.

"A week, two at the very most. I'll return at night as there's a certain place I would like to see today."

"I'll be waiting for you."

Aerion left through the main doors and flew into the sky.

Aerion looked at the scene before him. In just a few minutes, he had found the place known as Valyria. Old Valyria, to be exact. The ruined city which was destroyed as a result of the event known as Doom of Valyria. It has been more than four centuries since that event occurred and the ruined city did not change much. The city was unhospitable due to its terrible environment and so, Aerion found himself to be completely isolated.

The conditions were terrible and no sane, mortal, man would ever approach this close but Aerion was a Divine King so none of this applied to him. He wanted to look around and see if there are any treasures left from before the Doom. He wanted to find some Valyrian steel, to be specific.

Maybe I'll find a few Dragon Eggs too.

Aerion dropped down and started to search through the ruined city. Some of it was under boiling water but this wasn't a worry to him. He managed to find a vault inside of one of the tall towers.

There has to be something good in there.

BOOM.

With a single punch, Aerion smashed open the vault and walked inside. There were three Dragon Eggs, an absurd amount of gold, a set of prestigious-looking armour and two Valyrian steel blades placed in an organised, impressive, formation. Aerion decided that this was some good luck granted to him after all those unlucky situations he had been put in.

Aerion observed the two Valyrian steel blades.

Brightroar and... Dark Sister!?

Aerion's eyes widened with shock.

These two... one is the ancient Valyrian steel greatsword of House Lannister which was lost ever since Tommen II Lannister sailed to this ruined city and Dark Sister, the second Valyrian steel sword of House Targaryen! House Targaryen only ever held two and both were lost until I regained Blackfyre.

Now both are in my possession!

Aerion was far more delighted to get Dark Sister than Brightroar as he couldn't care less about House Lannister's ancestral sword. He placed both swords in his spatial ring along with the three Dragon Eggs.

Then he observed the armour and was surprised once more.

A full set of Valyrian steel armour!? This...

Aerion smiled as he placed the set of armour into his spatial ring.

This ruined city is far too kind! If I reforge it with enough powerful profound cores then it'll be even harder to damage me. Completing my conquest would also be easier...

ROAAAR.

Suddenly, a roar resounded across the entire ruined city.

BANG.

The roof of the vault was completely crushed by a massive claw while Aerion barely managed to escape into the sky.

What in Seven Hells... a Divine Master Realm dragon, here of all places!? Could this have been a trap?

"You dare steal my treasures, mortal? You are so small that I doubt you'd even be an appetiser, but this dragon must make do with what is given to him!"

"I have no idea what you're doing here but this King will put you in your place soon enough," Aerion replied

Aerion took out the Heaven Smiting Sword, activated Silver Calamity, phase 4 and even his Rinnegan.

I do need some practice with some of my new abilities, this isn't so bad as long as the dragon doesn't accidentally destroy the entire world. Hmm, even if he does, I still have Izanagi.

"Oh, you can turn into a half-dragon? How interesting! This battle might be slightly more entertaining than I first thought."

"Hmph, I'll show you my strength soon enough."

Aerion prepared to face the massive dragon below him.
