The silence was resounding, and I felt regret the second after. But I couldn't let it slide... she said such horrible things to Elysir... how could I tolerate that?
"Don't talk to her like that, Aether", I didn't care if she was the Goddess among Goddesses; she wouldn't be talking to my women like that, much less Elysir.
As if agreeing with me, Ophis clutched my arm and also sent Aether a threatening hiss.
Aether, as if a Drama Queen, kept her head looking away, still feeling the aftermath of the slap, when she turned to look at me, her cheek was red, but her countenance still smiling, as if she hadn't felt anything at all.
[Are you so in love that you will ignore the obvious? You may, but she won't~] She smirked, looking at Elysir. I expected Elysir to be by my side, to feel relieved that I had protected her... but instead, she looked at me with this guilty expression... like she couldn't believe how much she had wronged me.
"Ely..."
"She's not wrong... that is what I am", She said with a single sob, and made some distance when I tried to hold her.
"There is something you have to understand right now, Ray. When you go and look for her, make no mistake... You will have to fight. You are light, and she is darkness that devours light... You will have to fight her, and it will be an unfortunate and bizarre battle for you. Because you will want to save her no matter what, while she just wants to devour you".
"..."
[Tell him what you have been doing, Elyseum] Aether whispered.
"Have you been spying on me?" Elysir asked threateningly. She may have been guilty for her own reasons, but she was not afraid of Aether.
[Of course not. Love is such a weak feeling, isn't it? It makes everyone so predictable. That's why your original self discarded it. That's why you are here... you are the love she discarded].
"Then why would she tell me to go to her?!" I asked, still having faith in the woman who planned everything to bring me back from the dead, I couldn't believe she did all this just to devour me in the end. I refused to believe that.
[Are you dumb, Ray? It's obviously a trap. She made you a Sun; she gave you the means to become greater and stronger, and she also gave you the means to give the Star Crafter a new Spirit. Given her nature, it would have never acknowledged her... the Star Crafter is a weapon of creation, not destruction. But the Star Crafter has flaws... it needs a spirit, and a spirit can be manipulated] She spoke like she knew... as if she had already exploited that bug before.
Everything she said made sense, but I still didn't want to admit that it was it. Because there was a small world, a little possibility in which Elysir did it because she loves me, and she wants me to save her from something or someone... maybe even from herself.
[Hahahaha~, as I said, love makes everyone so predictable... I can already tell what you're thinking. Do you believe yourself to be some kind of hero? Just ask yourself, why didn't she stay? A woman with her power could have very easily discarded her body and retained her spirit. She could have inhabited the avatar herself instead of leaving a clone. If she wanted to be here, she would be, Ray].
Aether's voice sounded even more aggressive. She pressed herself against me as if trying to convince me.
[Stop being so naive, your life and the life of everyone you care for is on the line].
"Stop".
Ophis pressed her hand against Aether, having her make some distance from me. Her tone was almost possessive.
[...] The Goddess smirked and looked at me, ignoring the office and awaiting my answer. But Ophis wouldn't allow herself to be ignored.
"Don't try to influence Baka-ray. I don't quite understand... but he should reach his own conclusion," Ophis said, holding my hand, staring at me dead in the eye like her mate, like what I was.
"And whatever conclusion you reach, I will be there with you, and I will help you until the end".
[You are a naive, lovestruck dragon yourself. Your hormones telling you to do whatever your mate wants, the father of your child] Aether sighed like she had aged several milleniums. Nevertheless, she didn't ignore Ophis.
"Maybe... but Baka-Ray and I together won't lose. If that's her plan, she can face us, and we will see who is stronger. I don't care how much of a higher existence you overlords believe you are. But as a dragon, I know power will always reign supreme".
I looked at her and smiled, somehow... those were the words I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear someone tell me that we would win that battle. I already knew Elysir, and I would fight... what really mattered was whether I could change her mind.
I entwined my fingers with my beloved Dragoness, "You heard her... that's my answer, Aether"
Then I looked at Elysir, "I know you must be plotting something to get rid of her behind my back. You can stop... because you will only make me hate you this way".
!!!
Elysir shook, this time I took her wrist and pulled her to me, into my arms, "Stop being stupid... I don't care how evil you or she becomes; I love you. And if by chance she has to keep eating light... she has to keep devouring to survive... then I will give her all the light she needs from here~"
I put her hand on my crotch and felt Elysir gasp and have goosebumps all over her body.
[Oh my...] (Aether)
"Baka-pervert" (Ophis)
"Y-You fiend!" (Elysir)
"What? I am not lying, and you know I have a lot to give. All I have to do is become stronger, and I will have enough for her, too," I thought it was a bulletproof plan.
"You're the worst". She whispered, but her hand squeezed my dick hard as she licked her godly Egyptian lips, "Okay, we will do as you say".
[It seems we reached an agreement~] Aether cheered happily, sending us all into confusion.
"Do we?" I asked, bewildered, as she was calling all of us naive and stupid a second ago.
She closed up to me and, without even mediating words, slapped Elysir's hand and took a hold of my dick herself.
!!!
It was my time to feel the goosebumps all over.
"Hey!" Elysir and Ophis screamed in outrage, but they were ignored.
[Yes, you have convinced me. It seems you have a misunderstanding. I don't care if you kill her or transform her... as long as you are aware that if you want to transform her... then you must become way... WAY STRONGER than you are now.]
She began stroking, staring at my dick in awe.
"What are you doing with my dick...?" This woman's lewdness has gone past even Haku. She was holding it like it was a gun, without any lewdness or emotions.
[Dick? fufu~ you are wrong... this is a weapon of mass destruction capable of turning the weakest mortal into a world-ending God, capable of turning the most unruly beast into an obedient mutt. I have seen it myself. If you talk to me about convincing her with 'love', that idiocy, I will ignore you. But if you tell me you're using THIS to convince her, that's a different conversation~]
She finally let go after giving it a little tap. Suffice to say, I was hard... blame Frank for that.
[That's a great plan, guys~ Rather than using cute words... fight her, defeat her... and then proceed to pump her full of light, perhaps that way you will manage to revert her nature and even if you don't... at least you will be able to continuously feed her urges eternally].
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
[This way, the Multiverse can be saved, and she will leave all the unborn stars alone!]
"Are you saying we have to use Baka-ray's dick to save the Multiverse?" Ophis asked the question we were all pondering.
[I don't think anything in existence aside from his dick can do it~].
"..."
I don't know why or how, but the girls and I looked at each other and nodded. That was the plan. It was very plausible.
Rather than use shallow words like 'I love you, Ely', I should just straight pump her full of cum until she experiences a metamorphosis.
"I should have thought of this from the start", Elysir mumbled.
"Yep, we should have", I sighed.
[It is because you're all dumb and thinking with love in your minds, hehe~ I am a practical person, I think lust is more reliable. The most difficult part will not be to 'transform' her, it will be to put her down. You need all the help you can get. This woman is as strong as the millions of suns she has devoured].
She took our hands within her own.
[The Star Crafter, A Sun, and an infinite source of energy... I don't think it is far-fetched to say that in the whole story of the multiverse, no one has had more potential to defeat her than you. In fact, she probably was not aware of this Dragoness' existence back then, otherwise she would have changed her plans. Aside from that, you're also lucky enough to have that girl Kurumi and that girl Albedo, who also have humongous potential].
"How can we do it?" I asked.
[With Tokisaki Kurumi's help. Time is Elysir's only weakness. How ironic, an aspect of reality that could regularly never be exploited against someone, but she is so strong, that's the only weakness I can perceive in her.This is my task for you and the reason why I reunited all of us here: Ray, become stronger and learn how to better use the Star Crafter. Elyseum, teach Ray how to use his powers as a Sun appropriately. The upcoming fights aren't going to be easy; she is not alone... so you have to make all your women stronger. Lastly, you, Dragoness… learn to entwine your powers with Ray. Your infinity may be the edge he needs against her].
Aether sounded like a cheerleader at this point.
[If we execute this plan successfully, there is no way it won't work. Find her, Fight her, Defeat her, and Impregnate Her~].
I don't know why the plan feels so twisted, but... I feel it can work.
"And what will you do?" Elysir asked with her arms crossed, still unhappy that my cock had just been played with.
[I am but a residual consciousness. Once Hannah takes over as the spirit of the Star Crafter, I will disappear. So there is not much I can do aside from giving you information and giving some emotional support~] She looked at me and winked, [But if you give me your seed regularly together with some other ingredients, perhaps I will be able to develop my own body and help you, just saying tehe~].
"As expected", Elysir sighed, then put her hand in front.
We all did.
[I was an overlord in the side of the light, the opposite of Avarice. This is going to be my last big act, let's do this, team!] She looked at me and whispered, [And you, Daddy. Next time you feel like slapping me, then at least do it with your dick~].
!!!
"Okay..."
"Her lewdness is something else", Elysir commented, I don't know if with respect or disgust, "Congratulations, you just joined another one into your harem".
[Harem? You're mistaken, I don't like him... I only like his dick~ it is so powerful and mighty, I have never seen a weapon so terrifying].
"I agree", Ophis nodded vigorously.
"..."
It may look like I use Haku to gauge what I call the 'slut' levels, but... for real, Haku has never said anything so slutty to me.
'Rejoice, Frank... you got a fan'.
