Chapter 225: King of all the Heavens.
"haah~" Arla sighed and groaned under Ikaris's feet. "I never imagined that getting stepped on could feel this wonderful~" the elf sighed once more and scratched her arms outwards. "Yess, Milady your feet~"
She laid on a massage table which allowed her breasts to comfortably rest beneath her and Ikaris was floating and giving her a foot massage, something she learned from Sara on their first Arkadian adventure.
"Haha," Ikaris chuckled looking over at Dina who laid on her back whilst getting a full massage from Sol who was still taking to the others with a bud in his left ear like a true professional while the girl beneath his hands breathed heavily as he went over every inch of her body.
"How wonderful~" Sara was the only one who would ever be allowed in the same room as them, and she relished in the heat of the pool of hot water with her back turned and her arms on the tiled edge after Alpha who had sorted all the other gods' affairs had joined and offered to give her a shoulder massage as well one she apparently needed as she continuously sighed and vocally praised the system's masterful skills.
"-is a plan like this not even more risky than you first insinuated?" Dr'ul asked with a deep sigh, almost moaning as the heat of the water penetrated her skin and relaxed her muscles, although a hot spring was not something any of the gods needed, leaving themselves vulnerable and under Sol's protection to enjoy a mortal pleasure had caused all the used rooms to erupt in sighs of bliss, even Samu'el who always went on and on about the importance of time had gone quiet to enjoy one of the highest forms of relaxation ever known.
"It's a gamble," Sol responded kneading his thumbs in Dina's leg and smiling as she closed her eyes with a deep groan, her toes curling and her fingers stretched and shaking while her sigils lit up and thumped with her racing heart. "It can't be helped though, the alternative is something much worse that will likely put us right under the microscope of the entire Emporium." He debated.
"How so?" Renia asked.
"My mother," Jenifer spoke up, she had been granted a private room all to herself and she sat in the middle of the pool with her knees raised to her chest, hugging them and blowing bubbles with her nose as she experienced something she had never seen or heard of before despite visiting thousands of systems and seeing hundreds of diverse cultures.
"I know my mother more than anyone else, and I know how the general thinks, he will want to bring the news of my failure and death to the higher-ups, but she will most likely come seeking revenge before that happens, she always put my safety even above the Emporium's strict orders, she will definitely come." She explained.
"And if she does not?" Dr'ul enquired, watching droplets roll down her leg after raising it out of the water. "If the first captain does not come for her daughter, what then?" She wiggled her toes, making ridiculous gestures while her face held a serious expression void of the humour her actions were supposed to cause.
"If she does not come then the general was able to convince her to avoid acting rashly and do it by the books, and if such is the case then you have a wide-scale invasion on your hands," Jenifer answered the goddess almost dismissively.
"That's not happening," Sol spoke up. "While you aren't the best technician, I was able to learn quite a bit when I searched your mind," Sol spoke making Jenifer aware that her mind had indeed been pried into but leaving out the fact that it had been reconstructed from his memories of what he had seen after being wiped clean.
"Sir... Did you find a way to contact them without my ship?" She asked, and Sol nodded at Dina who was now seated in his lap with her legs wrapped around his waist while Ikaris had already left with Sara and Arla was lying behind him on the massage bed staring with an askance and pleased expression.
"A delayed distress signal; I already sent it after discovering I could and making this plan, within a few hours from now it should reach since it's been a day or two where you're from, the First Captain will receive a direct signal from your brain implant, I know that she's going to act according to her maternal instinct, her child needs her." He answered, sinking his fingers in Dina's hair and arching her on top of himself when she began to slowly thrust her hips against his, driving himself inside of her and moaning lightly at the wet intrusion.
"I do not have a lot of time then." Jenifer sunk herself completely beneath the water for a few seconds hearing Dr'ul and Renia's voices as if she was above the surface while they asked more questions. "Sir, how does this system work, will communication be possible beyond your sector?"
"Alpha has already created backdoor signals routed to other sectors and lesser collectives with the same information we got from the ship as a test, so it's fine, I'll be able to contact you whenever I want, using her as a catalyst without even being detected." Sol bent Dina further, holding her throat by a golden chain made of his mana whilst she went crazy on top of him.
"Since you're human, she's Gonna be able to easily block any memory you have of us, as well as erase it if need be, on the off chance that they somehow catch on to you being a spy and they try to force information out of you, I'm wiping your mind and letting you go completely, you'll forget everything you've witnessed with myself and everyone else, all you'll know is what happened when your mother came for you."
Jenifer after hearing this stood and went over to the towels, wrapped herself and caught her wet hair in a messy bun and then nodded to herself, not knowing that everyone had remained silent just to hear her reaction to Sol's harsh deal-breaker where she was concerned.
"I do not want to forget you, sir, even before you forced me to see the wickedness and atrocities of the Emporium I acknowledged that you are worth every bit of respect that comes with your Godslayer title as the most fearsome being that once ruled the Grand Collective with unmatched power, I will obey your orders to the letter and do everything in my power to help you take them down from the inside."
"If I may, Sol?" Dr'ul called his attention to herself. "What is your motivation here, from what I know of you, you are a rather laid-back man, very hard to provoke unless you choose to be bothered, what is your drive for taking on a power capable of wiping us all out?"
"They came after Ikaris and our child, they want them dead, that's my drive, it's enough to destroy the foundation of their very order, I don't want to live a life in hiding, I don't want to be constantly bothered by a threat of war at my doorsteps, the emporium is too powerful to ignore, billions of Vatui and Godslayers collectively have been killed by them, before that happens; before their Great Armada even has a clue who I am or where I am I will take the initiative and strike first and hard, I'll cripple them before they have any idea what hit them."
"I see, then you need only utter a word, this threat is one which looms over us all, I shall gladly lay myself before your cause, my King." Dr'ul regarded him respectfully placing her hand over her heart with a deep frown. Discover worlds on m-v le-mpyr
"King?" Jenifer asked, surprised.
"Of course, Ikaris is the Queen of all gods across all realities in our collective, I am merely the queen of one verse in comparison, she was the first goddess, and remains the most powerful only contested by Sol himself who holds more frightening power than even you can fathom," Dr'ul answered.
"He is the peak of power, the strongest there ever was, even capable of standing against the laws of light and darkness the King of all the Heavens, he is an unmovable motherfucker." Dr'ul spoke informally revealing the high praises she held towards Sol.
"I... I was unaware of this." Jenifer furrowed her brows.
"Nobody amongst his women or close friends would say something like this directly to his face, but I who am neither his woman nor bed-maiden have no such obligation and am shameless enough to speak his praises all day long, I can freely say that any power or conceivable beings will ultimately fall at his feet in either servitude or defeat, that is the man you respect and serve; that is Sol Vestic, that is our Godslayer.
