Chapter 428 – Planning

*** Alzi, Main Body ***

I didn't have to choose. Mommy forced them to all stay together until dinner arrived. Not that we did much together. I've had a bit too much excitement today, it seems, and was drifting in and out of sleep the entire time I was with them.

Mommy probably just barged into Victoria's room after court. Victoria was quite grumpy, especially compared to the two babies, until dinner arrived. And now, somehow, it's just me and Victoria in the room.

How I let Mommy escape, I don't know. But it happened, and I've wanted to reward Victoria for a while, so I just have to hope this doesn't go too far like I did with Yzzorres.

"What the fuck now?" Victoria asks.

"You strip and I give you a massage," I say. "Then we sleep."

"Shit," Victoria says. "There goes my damn belly."

"That isn't a sure thing," I say. "Plenty of women have had my hands all over their bodies and didn't walk away pregnant, or even bow-legged. I don't want to get you pregnant. You clearly don't want to get pregnant, and I'm not that mean. If I ignore your vulgar language, you're quite nice."

"Shit, I remember the first fucking massage," Victoria says. "I'll fucking give it a shot. You just better be fucking nice to me if you get me fucking pregnant."

"Are you ok with getting pregnant?" I ask. "Not right now. But sometimes in the future? I can try to find ways to keep you from getting pregnant, if you like."

"I don't fucking care," Victoria says, starting to strip on the bed. "Just keep me from carrying the fucking numbers Yuki or Vanya have. I don't fucking want to worry about a bunch of damn kids all at once. Spread the damn pregnancies out and keep them small. Right fucking now, I think you shouldn't get me fucking pregnant."

"I agree, and I can do that," I say. "I'm sorry for not bringing Stacy here with you. But we can use her to keep your pregnancies spread out and small, and I'll handle her kids so you don't have to worry about them. Thank you for working with me."

"I never fucking thought about pregnancies until Yuki fucking told me you were going to be my husband," Victoria says. "Shit, I remember when you were mostly just a great fuck and a magic masseuse. But then you turned into a damn special breeder, and then you just kept getting fucking stronger. Many fucking adventurers were afraid to even see your ass, worried that one fucking look would have them swelling with a child."

Shit. No, don't copy her language. Victoria sure is beautiful. Oh, I should force Elora to work out hard, and then I can have these two together and put the kid into Elora. Elora would do that for me. I'm sure I could ask her to do just about anything, and she would do it. I think everyone would like that. We can let the Queendom see how strong Elora is before she gets pregnant with another Goddess for me. "I understand," I say. "I've gotten a few too many of the strong women around me pregnant. I'm happy to have you still able to move easily and able to walk around."

"That's fucking good enough," Victoria says. "I'm fucking naked, and in the bed."

"Yes, you are," I say. "Flip over. You know we start with the back."

"I fucking visited you once," Victoria says, but she flips over like a good girl. I think she was talking about herself. I doubt the others shared much with her.

It really is just her cursing that needs fixing. Everything else about her is perfect. It will be interesting to see how she reacts to her own kids; maybe that would help her fix her vocabulary. I don't need her to be proper, just not to curse so much. "I've got you in the right position," I say. "Just relax, and I'll have you asleep soon."

I'm working while pregnant again, but at least it's for my wife and a mate I wronged a bit. And I can sleep next to the woman this time instead of having to show them out, and then get bought by someone else later that day.

"I can fucking do that," Victoria says.

"Good."

...

Did I say Victoria is pretty? She's beautiful. Her muscles are so defined, and I don't know how she did that. And she gets so cute when she finally relaxes. She says she wants to relax, but I don't think her body knows how to relax naturally. I'll need to teach Stacy how to give massages so she can help Victoria better.

"You're so cute," I whisper. Of course, she's asleep, but she deserves to hear it even if she won't remember it. I've actually managed to stay clothed, so I just snuggle into Victoria and close my eyes. Tomorrow, I should return to the lower realm and figure out everything with Tanatsu.

"Hello, Alzi," the Demoness says. "I've got everything ready for my part up here. I just need you to handle your end of the bargain. It shouldn't be too hard now that you have Writing's help. Just scratch some runes into the dirt and have some sex. I'm sorry about that, but it's the easiest method for you to get the fight underway. The other materials, your wives and past can handle for you easily enough."

"What?" I ask. I'm on a fallen log in the middle of a dark forest. I can barely make out the Demoness near the edge of the small clearing. Her massive hat is back on her head.

"Sorry, I'm still trying to figure out how to easily bring you up here. You asked to kill some Goddesses. You saved my daughter, and plan to help her even more and let her get some revenge. Thank you. And you're going to blaspheme against the Goddesses. I'm ready to kill two Goddesses for you. I've got some help, so it may even give us the sister I wanted. Maybe. I don't really trust my other helper, but it may work. It does make it easier to bring the Goddesses out as well. It's just harder to get the outcome I want. But you don't care about that, just that I kill them."

"I was thinking of switching to killing Nature and Justice, and I'll find another way to deal with Sex," I say. "Would that cause any problems?"

"Yes," the Demoness says. "It would make your ritual harder to complete and my fight harder. Sex is a rather weak Goddess. She's pulling some strings to get power, but she's still rather pathetic despite how intrinsic her affinity is to the world. Nature and Justice have gone through a lot, but they still have large followings. Fighting both of them is harder. I would appreciate it if you picked just one of them, and then maybe in a few centuries, we can think about killing the other one."

"Justice," I say. "We can tame Nature, but Justice is crazy, and I don't feel like waiting for her to change. Kill those two."

"Very well," the Demoness says. "Sex and Justice shall die. You'll wake up with the ritual circle in your mind. Create it, and the map should guide you on the scale of it. And then you just need a group of women who are not your mates but have wronged you in some way. Nothing major, even just yelling at you would be enough. But your wives won't do for that. Then, for the center of the circle, you need a woman with two wombs. I believe you have a centaur for a wife. Ask her for help with finding someone like that. I know I said you just need to have sex, but there is one, well, two other things you need: Pixie dust and fairy dust. You have a wife who can handle getting that as well. Just be careful not to let the Pixies get you pregnant. Those pregnancies are annoying. They have all the pain of a normal pregnancy and birth, but often, nothing comes out. My succubus descendants used to get tricked by them often."

"Isn't this a little too convenient?" I ask. "I have access to everything needed for this ritual. How could a ritual that leads two Goddesses to their deaths be like this?"

"I've got the hard part," the Demoness says. "The things I need aren't so easy to find, and I only have them due to my age and need to wander about in the divine realm. Sex is weak. It took almost everything for her to make that angel of hers and then put her on a path to meet you. And then she restarted a temple and tried to break your mind. You have a great connection with her, being her Champion, so we really only need the strong magic for Justice."

"How does some dust work for that?"

"One tricks, while the other powers the runes," the Demoness says. "If you can do something that would distract Justice just before you start the ritual, that would also help."

"I have some ideas and desires for that," I say. "But I'm still confused about how this is all lining up so well for me."

"That log has the end of the ritual marked into it, put there by me due to Future coming to see me," the Demoness says. "The roots spell out your end of the ritual, put there by Future yet again. I would be more surprised if you didn't have all the things you need for this ritual."

"Did Future cause all of my suffering as well?" I ask.

"No. She doesn't act in the present. Not directly. I said Future made the pattern in the roots, but I doubt it was by her own hand. She somehow managed to be here and trick someone, probably Nature, into forming that root pattern. You met Future. Did she do anything? Did she act? No, she wanted you to do everything. It probably felt like a pointless meeting. That's because you didn't want to do anything for her, so nothing could happen in your meeting. She just saw that being in a specific place and walking around a bit would give her a chance to have sisters. This ritual should help you ascend as well.""I have someone helping me with that already."

"What about your wives?" the Demoness asks. "Your Mother? Mai? Sure, you will probably be able to get them from Death easily enough. You got her favorite Valkyrie heavily pregnant and all of that, but is that how you want them? Wouldn't it be better if they were Goddesses right next to you? That is what you have a chance of getting here. The chance that more than just you will ascend to this realm without dying. I agree that it doesn't resolve Future of all the harm she may have brought upon you, but I know she didn't do it out of malice. She probably didn't even know you were going to be hurt. If she saw you in the Future, she would've set things up in a way that would end with her heavily pregnant. She just really wants her sisters. Nature, Justice, Sex, and the women down below all hurt you of their own free will. They all made that decision. Future may have nudged a few people around, or helped it along, but they did the act without her interfering. She just let them be themselves and got what she wanted on the other side, and I know this doesn't negate the pain, but it gives you so much more as well. You're in a good position now. How you got here is disgusting, and you may think the outcome doesn't matter compared to what you went through. But I can tell you I'm not going to fight Future. She will be someone you have to figure out how to kill yourself."

"I'll let it be for now," I say. "I'll think about what she did later."

"Good. Now get some rest and start gathering what you need," the Demoness says. "Have my daughters help you so I will know when you're starting. Thank you again for helping Fyserreia. It brings me so much joy to see her free again. Next time we see each other, I'll be killing some Goddesses. Be careful, Alzi. I wish you a happy life. You deserve it."

"Thank you."
