Chapter 413 – A Desire for Revenge

*** Alzi, Second body ***

Moving the kids back to the manor was easy with Space's help. We just had to say a few prayers, and we all made it home like we were never threatened. Except my main body is dead tired after helping Zarzi push out all the kids. My third body is just confused about everything. I don't think it likes that it's helping someone who isn't my wife. It's a bit strange, with her being my mate, but I'll fix that in a few hours.

I should check on Sarania, but I have to bring a kid to her, just to be safe. A Goddess should be fine to take with me there, but I can't just take them whenever something is going to be dangerous. I think they can still get hurt, and even if they can't, it isn't good to treat them too differently. But Luck is reaching out for me, and she deserves some extra love.

"Want to go check on the succubus?" I ask while picking up the little blonde. "Yes? Ok, thank you. So many are counting on me." I hope I'm reading her facial expression correctly. I don't want to scare the Goddess after I just lucked into surviving an attack.

It's just down the hall, so bringing a kid is probably not needed, but I really don't want to lose this body right now. I would have to have Elora or Shimmer come back to get this body back to all of my kids. Or the majority. Elora and Shimmer do have some of my kids and the Goddesses.

Inside, Sarania is combing her sister's hair while she sleeps. It's going to be dangerous if Fyserreia sticks around. Even this body wants to jump in bed with them right now, and Fyserreia isn't even at her most beautiful.

"How is she?" I ask.

"She doesn't scream when she wakes up," Sarania says. "So, a lot better, I would say, my Mistress. Thank you for checking on us. I'm sorry for not being useful to you."

"You're pregnant," I say. "The true dragon wasn't going to let anything happen anyway, I think. She just seemed to want to come out and play. The phoenixes are the real issue. If I had found a way to get all the true phoenixes to come out, I would've never been in danger yesterday."

"I've spent too much time with my sister."

"I'm sorry this body isn't able to heal her," I say. "You know how much I care about family. How about you visit our daughter while I watch over your sister? She needs you more than I do right now, and I know you'll be by my side once your sister is better. Our kid needs to know you still care about her."

"I- Yes, thank you, my Mistress," Sarania says. "I'm sorry for forgetting about that."

"You're stressed," I say. "Go. Little Luck and I will watch her. Get some sleep."

Sarania gives me a small bow before walking out. Then I sit down in a chair next to the bed and gently rock Luck. Fyserreia does look peaceful, sleeping. I hope she really is. Even with Sea's help, I still get a few nightmares when I'm not near Osanna. But I should be fine tonight with Mommy near my main body.

"Goddess," Fyserreia groans.

"Yes," I say. "Luck is a Goddess. She hasn't hurt you, so I would appreciate you not hurting her or me. Your sister is just checking on our baby while I watch you."

"I don't need you," Fyserreia says.

"Maybe, but it helps your sister," I say. "She's been worried about you for a long time. Your Mother was even ready to come down from the heavens to free you. But I'm happy that didn't need to happen. That would've thrown you into a fight before you were ready."

"I'm ready for a fight," Fyserreia says, her eyes slowly opening. I expect her to turn to me, but she just looks at the ceiling. "I want to kill them all."

"All? I would prefer you not do that. I have a few Goddess children at this point, and Space is my wife."

"I'm not about to kill a Goddess," Fyserreia says. "Just the Priestesses."

"Oh, that was in the plans already," I say.

"All of them?"

"Those in the temple prison," I say. "I've got a number of Priestesses pregnant from different temples. I don't want them to die, and killing them all would take a long time. Also, the Goddesses would curse you, and not even your Mother could save you then."

"I don't care."

"I have a plan to hurt some Goddesses," I say. "But what about another way to throw things in the Goddesses' faces?"

"What do you mean?" Fyserreia asks, finally turning to look at me.

"I've been helping a woman who should be dead," I say. Space said Fyserreia did more than have sex to get locked up. "I have some gates to transplant over, but I don't know the exact method to do it. Her mana and soul are also messed up. You wouldn't have any ideas about that, would you?"

"Maybe," Fyserreia says, staring at Luck.

"Luck, you don't care, right?" I ask.

Luck gives out a cute little giggle. She's too cute! A good little girl for her Mommy.

"Stop kissing her! We're having a conversation here," Fyserreia says. "You now have a way to hide it from the Goddesses who do care. Heal me, and I'm in."

"Sorry, this body can't use mana to heal anyone but my kids," I say. "Sorry. So many things have happened since we freed you. I'm sorry, I still should've found some time to do it. The first thing I'll do when my main body gets back will be to heal you. I promise."

"Good," Fyserreia says. "Tell my sister that she doesn't need to baby me. I've got too many Skills focused on keeping my mind sane. You could burn me alive right now, and I wouldn't even scream. You're rather good food, even with how far away I am. You fed my sister well before this, too."

"Yes, I didn't notice the extra fat due to her pregnancy," I say. "I didn't even think it was possible for her. Would you want a kid as well? You could get the last laugh on top of killing the Priestesses."

"You can try."

"I've told you Sarania is pregnant and has a kid," I say. "I am Fertility's Champion. I can get you pregnant."

"I don't have the parts anymore."

"You'll get them back," I say. "I'm not just healing your skin."

"You can't," Fyserreia says. "I promise that."

"Fine," I say. "If I fix you, then I get to put as many kids into that beautiful body of yours as I want. If I can't, I'll carry some kids for you."

"Do with my womb whatever you wish."

"You'll regret saying that," I say. "I just helped a woman give birth to a hundred eggs. A little before that, a woman died trying to give birth to twenty kids of mine at once. The Queen of the ice realm is mad at me for giving her fifteen kids. You are going to be one big succubus when my main body gets to you. A sexy, extremely pregnant succubus."

"You make that sound bad."

"I'm happy we both agree."

*** Malralloz, Demoness ***

Well, Alzi made it through everything. She even freed my daughter faster than I thought she could. She's too sweet for this world. I'll need to meet with her soon. There's another ritual for her to complete. With two of my daughters with her, it should be possible to get it ready quickly. Alzi's family is quite strong now, too, controlling most of the world.

Two Goddesses. I actually have to do that. Alzi just couldn't have picked one and hoped to kill another a little later? I have to guess whether Future wants her sister enough that she's willing to let me have a sister. The rituals should work, but I'm just going to have two Goddesses as the sacrifices to make three divine beings.

How selfish do I think Future is becomes the question.

Alzi will still be around after that, so I can find another way to get a sister, or I could just have more daughters with Alzi if I really can't get a sister. I'm sure there are a few more Goddesses to kill for me to try again.

Do I give the ritual to Alzi or Sarania to prepare it? The deal was with Alzi; I should keep her in the loop. Maybe, I should just do it with both.*** Queen Yumanea ***

Clean up. So much clean up. It's the second-worst part about wars. Maybe the third, since the deaths easily take first, but the disruption of life is probably the second-worst part, or perhaps that is too broad to really count as a single problem.

"How are you doing, dear?" Nesh asks. "If you need a break."

"No, everyone has lost plenty of people," I say. "This level of destruction needs us all to clean it up. We can't leave lava everywhere. We have crops to save, bodies to collect, and materials to scavenge from Nature's beasts. If I'd worked harder, I wouldn't have had to bury so many of my wives. I took time to do that immediately, so now I need to help the others have time to bury their loved ones as well."

"Ok," Nesh says. "Just don't push yourself too hard. You have people ready to help you."

Kiyomi practically ran off once everything was done. The Kitsune all returned to their realm with their dead. Why do they get two Goddesses watching over them, while I don't get any that care about my Queendom? I don't think Space did anything to help them leave. Space did so much for the ritual, but still, they have so much power with space magic. Maybe my new flames are similar. But compared to everything the higher realms can do, my flame is nothing.

Well, soon I'll just be another woman in Alzi's harem, if she doesn't just run off. I haven't heard of her kids disappearing. They were mostly bunched in Space's temple for a bit, but they're back now, Irlo included.

I haven't gotten a full report on how many of our daughters are dead. I know Elora is safe, but not much beyond that. Most should still be alive, just too busy to report to their Mother right now. Lyrie did report that she's seen a few of them running around.

Enough thinking. It's time to try to clear out this lava. Oh, how mad I was when all I had was Nakuma making a mess in my city. It was a lot easier cleaning up after her than a bunch of dragons and beasts.

The beasts do give us materials for rituals and potions, at least. But I would prefer having my wives and people back.

Alzi, you'd better not have any more enemies coming after you. I don't have the women to fight them off anymore.
