Chapter 511 – Goddess Check In

*** Alzi, Main Body ***

I've been abandoned.

My daughter is being passed between two demons, and Elora is looking lost in the past.

"Kou, am I not interesting?" I ask.

"My Empress, you have two new kids, one of whom, people believed could never exist," Kou says. "Don't blame them for being interested in the new kids you've brought into the world. Besides, your kid is the one who took Elora away. She didn't run off willingly."

"I suppose," I say. "You two could still include me with my own child."

"Sorry, Mistress," Sarania says. "But it feels like we're close to our Mother. It's been a long time since we've truly been with her."

"Ah," I say. "I'll work on getting you to be with her. I just kind of need to become a Goddess, or at least get closer to being a Goddess. I'll have some land, I think, that can host everyone. Or I can force Space to let us all live with her if I don't get some protected land or whatever it is up there."

Elora leaves whatever trance Past put her in, crying and renewing our hug.

"I'm sorry," Elora says. "I love you. You're amazing."

"What did she show you?" I ask. I start to pet her head for fun, teasing her pointed ears a bit, but Elora doesn't really respond, just holding Past and me carefully in her arms.

"I think it was the same past as you saw," Elora says. "Picking you and your Mother up and ending up pregnant alongside you. It was Mother causing more of a scene that let me know about you. I don't know what changed in the eighteen years after that, which stopped me from grabbing someone special, but I still should've saved you from the brothel. There was no reason for me not to!"

"We're here now," I say. "I guess it worked out with Syro helping me. And I do have plenty of time to enjoy my life. We can just let it be."

"Ok," Elora says. "Thank you for being so kind."

"I think I'm taking it all out on Ashryn and Yuki," I say. "Sarania and Fyserreia, are you done passing your aunt around? That was not the right way to say that, but you understand. She needs some rest, and getting moved around is going to make that difficult."

"Yes, sorry, My Mistress," Sarania says. "Mother is going to be so happy. I'm sure she'll be bringing you up tonight. Thank you, I'm sure you had to give something up for this. I know you had a deal with Mother, but it means so much. This means a lot to us."

"I hope we don't have problems between us all," I say. "I think I'm removing most of the reasons why they felt any need to kill you and your sisters. The Goddesses should be a lot calmer, and I'll be there to help them understand how to be nice."

"I hope so, My Mistress," Sarania says. "I hope so."

"Shall we take them to the nursery?" I ask.

"We can," Sarania says. "We have more kids to worry about, afterall."

"That, we do," I say. We don't have just one nursery anymore. I don't think you can make rooms big enough to handle all the kids we have. Aurora has worked out a plan to swap the kids every so often so that they can be with all of their sisters. We're already building a little town for when they start to grow up, so they can all have their own room, kind of like the lower realm's castle grounds. Space was more than willing to help me get the most out of the space we have, since we don't want to cut into the new forest we have nearby. "We'll always have more kids to worry about."

It takes a moment to get all the heavily pregnant women out of the bed, but once we have, I take a step into some Goddess's arms.

"Ah, you're here," Future says. "I'm sorry. I- I hope I didn't cause you pain. I promise I never saw it. I just looked for my sisters. That's all. I wanted my sisters, and I couldn't act much. The only thing I knew was to plant the needed things for the future. I didn't know. I rarely acted. Is she ok?"

"Yes," I sigh. How did I just so happen to run into a Goddess when I wasn't in the divine realm? Future, you make no sense. I may have walked into you, but I had to come up here somehow for that to happen!

"It is funny to see my daughters playing with my sister," Malralloz says. "Sorry, but she just so happened to be here, and she helped us, so I didn't run away." I can barely see the strange demoness with my head squashed into a Goddess's bountiful breasts, but she's there. "And she said I could stay with her if you can't find a place for me to stay."

"That's nice of you, Future," I say. "I don't know if Present will be coming anytime soon, but the World is back to trying."

"The World?" Malralloz says.

"Yes, the World has a spirit, or something like that," I say. "Poison hurt the World, and that made you, your new sister, and your incoming sister. She got scared after making you, so she stopped making Goddesses, which is stupid because by creating demonesses, she is purging the poison. But she's kind of hiding in a box right now, so I don't think she was really thinking things through."

"You fucked the World?" Malralloz asks. "Like what I asked for directly? I thought there would be something like that. I hardly remember it, but I remember a pale woman, so I just ran with that, hoping you would somehow figure out where we all came from. But you did it faster than I thought possible."

"Well, I didn't find her; she dragged me up to her," I say. I should probably get out of Future's arms, but Goddesses are soft, and I think Future is crying.

"They couldn't find you," Malralloz says. "Haha, that is good. That is too funny. Well, thank you for convincing her to let my sisters come into the world. Future is clearly excited."

"I feel it," Future says. "The past. I need Present. I need her. Will you help? Please? I've been so lonely."

"I'm sure Past will want her sister as well," I say. "I have to be a good Mother to her. And it seems Royalty had a chance to save me from my problems, but she didn't act as she should have, probably due to Justice or Nature doing something to her. Plenty of others had a chance to save me, but didn't. I don't think you did much to influence that, Future."

"Good," Future says. "Good. I can't really remember all that I did. I just know that I struggle to do things, so I couldn't have done anything big to cause the problem."

I wonder how the three time-sisters will work together. Will they all join their knowledge together to have Present change the world a bunch, or will they fight over the timelines so much that they end up doing nothing? It'll be interesting to see what happens with Present is born.

"I thought you were up here," Kitsune says. "Hello, Future, Malralloz."

"What do you want?" Malralloz asks.

"To see Alzi," Kitsune says. "You're her friend and carrying her children. I'm not stupid. Now, Alzi, how are you doing? I know you checked in on the kid, and I believe enough divinity has snuggled into Elora's womb."

"Yes," I say. "I think so, too."

"Can I join?" Kitsune asks, but she doesn't wait for my response. The world turns to white as her tails block what little vision I had past the Goddess's breasts.

When did they get so big?

"You could probably make yourself taller if you wanted to," Kitsune says. "But just stay like this for a bit. It's funny to have a big Dragon being smothered by our tits. On a more serious note, thank you for helping my people. The future seems bright."

"It is better," Future says.

"I'm glad I could glean that from Miss Silent," Kitsune chuckles. "You rarely ever answer our questions. Well, I've done everything I need to do. Sorry, Space is going to be stopping in soon as well. She is your wife."

"Yes, I am your wife," Space says. "Why are other Goddesses' breasts surrounding you?"

"I didn't choose this!" I choke out.

"I have plenty of breasts for you," Space says. "I can grow them out if you need me to."

"It's just that I'm stuck!" I yell. I've tried growing, but I'm either doing it wrong or not that divine yet. Or maybe Kitsune knows how to stop me from growing? With her perverted tails, I wouldn't be surprised.

"Goodbye," Kitsune says. "Take good care of Nanoka."

"I can go as well," Future says. "Thank you again, Alzi. Things are going to go well for you if you love your children."

"I do love them," I say. "Thank you."

A moment after Future lets me go, Space is already hugging me. Her tits are bigger than normal, and Malralloz is laughing again.

I should've put more kids in her.

"There's no need to pout," Malralloz says. "It's just cute. You've had three different Goddesses all hugging you over the span of just a few minutes. I've never seen them agree this much about something, besides hating me. Space, is there anything special about this visit?"

"No, I just heard a little about why I couldn't find her," Space says. "Kitsune is a bit of a snoop. Sorry. I was so worried. You were supposed to go to your wives, but instead, you disappeared on me. And then you reappeared in your bedroom. It was not a good night for me, and then you run off and disappear again, and I find you with some Goddesses. Fertility is confused beyond all reason. Sea is great for her, though. Sea really does roll with the waves. Just be careful, if she gets mad at you, she will sink you."

"Did you have to say it like that?" I ask.

"It's Sea. Of course, I had to put it that way," Space says. "That is half the fun of your name describing your affinity."

"It's fun?"

"No, but you can have fun with them, Life," Space says. "I wanted to say that grandmother is hiding, but there are probably a few greats in there for me. The world is hiding its avatar from us, and Fertility isn't the deciding factor behind getting new Goddesses born directly anymore. You've really changed everything for us, dear. Spend time with your kids. Malralloz, why don't you just stay with me? It'll make things easier for Alzi."

"That's fine," Malralloz says.

And just like that, I'm back to walking the halls of my manor.

"So much for tonight," I say.

"She always waited for the night to talk to us," Sarania says.

"She had Future there," I say. "That's probably why she did it early. Well, she's excited for her sister. We have to raise her correctly."

"Oh, we will," Fyserreia says.

Maybe I shouldn't be getting her pregnant anymore.
