Chapter 458: I Kind Of Want To See This
"No. No. We are not doing this right now," Laz responded, taking a deep breath and turning away.
While Ivana seemed a bit hurt at his statement for whatever reason, the mother tree just started laughing as a green dress seemed to manifest over her young and yet weirdly proportioned body.
"Ah. It’s so nice to be young. Look at him all flustered and such. Any of the nobles or their sons would love nothing more than to be the first to plow the fields of my wonderful caretakers and yet here you are rejecting the number one on the list of greatest beauties of the kingdom. To be fair though, I guess it just depends on the year and wants. After all, the queen has been number one many times as well. The difference is that everyone kind of knows what she looks like, at least more so than this child here."
"Mother... I..."
"It’s ok child. I never meant for my order to be celibate. That’s something you chose on your own... or at least your predecessors did. I still have no clue why you choose to keep yourselves "pure." I don’t see how being a mother yourself would interfere with your ability to take care of me? Instead, you have your private pleasure collection of things that I never even dreamed could be used to satisfy your wants. "
"But... you’ve never said. WAIT. YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?"
"Anyway. Alright stud. Here’s the deal. My eyes are everywhere, but that doesn’t mean that I am able to see everywhere. I kind of lied about that part. In the palace here, it’s pretty much true. But the dear ’nobles’ of my children, those who’s bloodlines survived and have been carried down since the great war ravaged us, they like to keep their things private from one another and therefore have devised ways to hide themselves. While it’s suppose to keep the eyes of their enemies out of their business, it also blocks my eyes from seeing things that they believe I would not approve of."
"They can hide things from you?" Laz was kind of surprised about this. As far as he was concerned, this mother tree in front of him seemed like a god to these people. And didn’t gods know everything about their people?
"I can see your confusion. I know this might come as a shock, but I am a god... at least I have inherited my predecessors power and ascended to godhood. But the godhood of which you are thinking isn’t like an all knowing super deity, despite what people might believe. Sure, compared to a normal creature, we come off that way. But in truth, the godhood realm is simply the stage after the Void Emperor realm. I won’t speak too much of it so as to not confuse you on your path. Considering your age, you should be able to reach the godhood realm yourself. Maybe at that point, you will give rebirth to the Asura people and go on to conquer the Omniverse?"
"I’ve... never thought..."
"Got to dream big with a meat stick like that boy. Don’t let it go to waste and have hundreds or even thousands of offspring. That will make your dream come true much easier."
"My dream...?"
"Back on topic. Since I’m going to be heading around with you for a bit, best to not keep calling me mother or that would really fuck some of my children up. Let’s go with Maia for now while we are scouting around, shall we?" The young girl said, before her dress changed, morphing into the exact type of garment that Ivana was wearing. The only difference was that the outlines were made in silver, just like her normal protectors and helpers.
"Alright. With this we are ready to go."
"You’re enjoying this despite the fact that one of your own children tried to kill you, aren’t you?" Laz asked after regaining control of both his brain and emotions.
"Of course. Been a while since I was able to stretch my legs. After all, I have to follow the orders of Yggdrasil whether I want to or not. As such, until you came, I had to keep resting and restoring my power. But since self preservation outweighs other orders, I can do what I want from now on."
"So when this is over?"
"I’m guessing that the king race has returned? Sometimes we refer to them as the aboriginals since they were the first of the Fae created by Yggdrasil."
"They have. Just a few years ago."
"Then it should be time for use to go back as well."
"So we are all leaving when this is over?" Ivana asked, making her somewhat forgotten presence known.
"That’s the plan. At most, while you and Sylvia might break into the Void Emperor realm one day, for you to make any progress higher than that, you will need the energy of Yggdrasil itself to do that."
"Our long awaited dream... it’s finally coming true..." Ivana seemed more broken up that Laz expected her to be. After all, in this pocket realm, while there was a lack of energy, everything was in perfect balance and there weren’t things like war. Then again, maybe they had their own problems? For someone like Laz who lived on the outside, while he could never imagine being stuck in such a small place for his entire life, he felt like it wouldn’t be too bad for a while.
"Of course you feel that way. You have lived for what? A little over twenty winters in your realm as I understand your concept of time?"
"That’s about right yes."
"Then imagine being stuck in the same small city for your entire life and that life lasting thousands of years. It’s like being trapped in a slightly larger cage. No matter how safe the cage is, a cage is still a cage," Maia said, guessing Laz’s thoughts.
He’d come to think she was way too good at doing so.
When they emerged from the room, Laz was slightly surprised to find Queen Sylvia waiting for them.
"I trust the visited yielded good results?" She said, her concern obvious.
Sylvia had waited alone, dismissing even her attendants. As for the reasoning she gave them, it was because she wished to have a private word alone with Ivana and even her attendants knew what that entailed. While this kind of meeting wasn’t common, it usually involved a lot of screaming and some very selective name calling and since Ivana didn’t have a guard with her, she didn’t want to come off as trying to threaten her with numbers.
Of course considering the type of conversation likely to go on, there was a good chance that threats would take place anyway, but none of them were foolish enough to say that.
"Of course. This unique human seemed to interest mother immensely."
"I’m sure he did. And from the looks of it, you haven’t even seen the length of his... talents."
"Not everyone is perfectly willing to dive head first... or with other parts.... towards the first interesting thing they see after all." Ivana sneered.
"Oh that’s rich coming from the one who just so recently decided that a single interesting thing wasn’t enough and decided to try out two interesting things at the same time." Sylvia chuckled.
"Really? Perhaps the information you have can be attributed to your lack of challenging issues mixed in with the decay of your, shall we say, girlish figure? My queen needs to live for quite a few years still so I would hate to see you keep declining at such a rapid pace."
"Ha. The only decline I see is in the tightness of your virtue after challenging yourself to see just how wide and accepting you can be towards all things round, long and hard."
"Uh... don’t you think you should break this up?" Laz asked Maia quietly while Ivana and Sylvia went back and forth.
"Nope. I kind of want to see this..."
"Well... yeah. Me too..." Laz admitted taking a snack bag of cheddar potato chips out of his pouch and offering them to Maia who gladly accepted.
"MMMMM...." She said after taking a bite.
Laz brought out another bag and decided to enjoy some himself.
"THE ONLY THING DECAYED ABOUT ME IS MY PATIENCE FOR YOU AND YOUR SELF RIGHTOUS SHIT THAT YOU SPEW ON A DAILY BASIS" Sylvia screamed backed.
"THE ONLY THING LOOSE ON ME IS MY CONTROL OF MY TEMPER SINCE I WOULD LIKE NOTHING MORE THAT TO SMASH THAT UGLY MASK YOU CALL A FACE INTO THE FLOOR AND SPIT ON IT," Ivana countered.
"OH YEAH? THAT IT? BRING IT ON YOU FACELESS BITCH. I WILL RIP THAT MASK OFF AND SHIT DOWN YOUR THROAT!"
"I’M GOING SHOVE MY FOOT SO FAR UP YOUR COOCH YOU’LL BE CALLING ME DADDY FOR THE NEXT FORTNIGHT YOU FAT MOUND OF FLESH!"
Just as they were getting ready to make good upon their promises, Maia stepped forward and put her hands up which just so happened to grabbed on to each of them in the same spot... their breast.
"Ok. OOKKK... I think that’s enough of a show for now. Considering you two will need to work together here, it might be time for some good parenting to take place," Maia said, while squeezing them somewhat tightly.
"AND JUST WHO THE FUCK IS..." Before Sylvia could even finish her sentence, Sylvia found the entirety of her strength drained from her body as she hit the floor hard, the only thing keeping her from smacking down head first was the tiny hand still roughly grabbing on to her huge, fleshly mound.
"HA. TAKE THAT YOU STUPID CU..." Before Ivana could even finish her insult, she too hit the ground and found herself in the same predicament as Sylvia, unable to move while her body was roughly supported by a tiny hand gripping her hard.
"My my. Such a sight. You who can’t show a hint of respect and you who knows who I am and still decides to be stupid. Just how shall I punish these two children?" Maia asked, her voice turning from a cute little loli into a demon god of pain.
