81 Saving a world? (2/2)
At least they would reincarnate, compared to those who were thrown into the sphere.
After the last big concentration of demons was wiped out, I gave orders for our warriors to go down and take care of the rest.
Then I deleted my changes to the plasma cannons and made sure that they couldn't be restored. I don't feel comfortable with trusting anyone else with this spell. It crushes mortals and gods alike. There isn't much difference.
I left for my private quarters afterwards. In my room, I take out a bottle of wine and fill a glass with the content. It's not like I am mourning for the innocents, who were caught up in the crossfire. I am a pragmatic person. What has to be done, has to be done. My own people are my first priority, I would be doing a bad job as a king otherwise.
It just leaves a bad aftertaste if I think about the future. I may have to do it again. And what will the other powers do if they learn what we are capable of.
Do they realize that this weapon would have made no difference between a planet populated by gods and a world of mortals? I hope not.
The door opens and Celes enters the room. ”I said good bye to Evenguar. He thanked us for saving his world.”
I arch an eyebrow. ”I wonder if he will still be of the same opinion, when he becomes aware of the damage and the casualties.”
”He already knows that it doesn't look pretty at all. But he already foresaw the end of his world. So this outcome is still better than his apprehensions.” Celes hugs me from behind and I pull her onto my lap to embrace her.
We sit there in silence for a few minutes until I speak. ”I am still a little mad that you didn't tell me about this new whirlwind, that's been added to the family.”
”Like I said, I found out only recently and I am not sure if I should have it.” -Celes
”What's the problem?” I ask her with a surprised voice.
”I have no idea who it will be. And having a random soul as a baby creeps me out.” Celes tenses up.
”Aengus was like that too? I could search for a nice one? It should be no problem, we did the same thing with Seria.” I am a little confused, but I won't force Celes into this.
”Aengus was already there when it happened. And Seria was Sofie. It's different.” -Celes
I smirk at my wife. ”Why don't you ask Lada. She is still a little down despite her new job. Or Enyo she would be a real baby because she is completely wiped. We don't have any idea what to do with her besides rehabilitation.”
”You creep me out! No way! Enyo is complete out of question! And Lada is the president of the multiverse now!” Celes goes stiff and objects to my idea.
”Well, you could ask her. It's not like she still couldn't do the job. And she would get to be Seria's little sister. As for the time while she will be a child, there should be a replacement.” -Me
Celes elbows me into the side. ”I knew that you are useless in this matter. This is a delicate field for a woman!”
”Hrm. Anyway. I humbly await the Queen's decision in this matter until she decides to make one. You know, it's been a long time since you sat on my lap. I didn't remember until now because you drugged me, but I really like this.”
I grab her chest with my right while I slip my left between her legs and bite into her earlobe.
”Hey!” -Celes
”What's wrong with it. I can't do any more harm than what's already done. Or do you want to tell me that it would turn into twins if we did a bit more.” I pull Celes from behind into a tight embrace.
”hhgn! That's not the issue! Haah!” Celes tries to get away but I attack her weak spot, which is her neck.
”I always wanted to try the cat costume on you! You know, the one with the tail!” I whisper into her ear while she starts to shudder under my arms.
”hhhhnn? Tail? … no! Not that one! No you won't stick that into..... I already have a tail!NOOOOoooo” Celes tries to resist but I already pull her onto the pathway to our wood house.
