Guild Wars
chapter-1191

The Divine Realm of today was quite different from the past while largely remaining the same. The lack of presence with regards to living beings was there, the great mist that hovered above the ground and even extended into the sky was present and the sense of doomsday was also there.

Yet even so, there was an area that was conspicuously devoid of Grey Rot influence in the slightest, and this was the area surrounding a dainty little church in the middle of absolutely nowhere.

The surroundings of the church had changed even though its size remained the same, with some small cottages arranged around it for people to rest and perform various life activities. At its current size, it resembled a very small family village, with various mortals and people scuttling about to fulfill their life tasks.

Among them was a refreshingly vigorous old woman with the figure and air of a transcendent beauty when younger, her white colored pupils full of happiness and wisdom. This was the mother of Roma, Vadoma.

Along with her, seemingly distracted, was a short and beautiful tomboyish girl with short black hair and lively brown eyes. This 'girl' wore a blouse and a pair of booty shorts that revealed their smooth and thick caramel colored thighs that glistened with light sheen.

Given their waist to hip ratio which was extremely flattering and their flat chest coupled with their surprisingly thick backside, one would not be amiss to assume that this tomboyish girl should be played with, especially given that they were quite beautiful.

However for those who knew the truth, this was a… trap!

Vano sighed and couldn't help but think of his fickle boyfriend, Cobra who was noncommittal about their relationship. Then he couldn't help but think of the sturdy and domineering Pedro Sousa and his body flushed with excitement.

"Ow!"

Out of nowhere, he was smacked on the head and turned to see that the assailant turned out to be his mother. "Stop thinking such filthy thoughts. You crooked boy, if it wasn't for Roma, would our lineage even see a continuation?"

Vano knew that it was this topic again and responded noncommittally. "Meh, there is my darling niece, Rosella, to carry the mantle. It's better that way."

Vadoma saw his nonchalance and sighed. Seeing as today was an important day as the various core members of her son-in-law's Immortal Adventurer group would be coming up, she was thinking a bit further.

As such, she didn't drop things here, rather hesitating for a bit before speaking up in the end. She dragged Vano to a nearby table and sat down opposite her son, holding his hand gently.

"My darling… are you… happy… with the way you are?"

Vano was surprised to see that his mother actually brought this up. Despite not being clear about what she was reffering, he knew perfectly what she meant.

Vano smiled bitterly. "How could I be? We are phantoms born for the express purpose to support brother Draco's quest. Thank to his infatuation with my sister and his decision to bring her out, we've gained a tether to reality which later allowed us to be brought to life."

Vano lowered his head. "Of course I'm grateful to be given life once more, but I cannot be greedy and hope for… for... that."

Vadoma squeezed Vano's hand and her body trembled with sadness and pain. She got up and deeply hugged her son, realizing how long it must have been that he had suffered from this mental torment.

Their Gypsy clan was special, even different from those in the Main Plane. Just like how the Wood Elves, Dryads and Ircs had been in the Four Point Valley of the Flora and Fauna Quest.

One of the main differences in Roma's Gypsy clan was that their leader was only ever female, of one lineage. For the Main Plane Gypsies, the gender of their leader was of no importance, as long as they inherited their divinatory and dance arts.

And that was another difference. Main Plane Gypsies mostly practice fortune telling and a bit of illusion based trickery, as well as charm arts, but Roma's Gypsies were exclusively witches and sorcerers of the Mystic Arts.

Due to this, their main line held the strongest mystic power, but were also limited by it. Each woman could only give birth to another girl, and only one, before becoming strangely barren. Despite Draco's strong genetics, even Roma was not spared from this. It was certainly not due to a lack of trying, but ever since birthing the powerful Rosella she was unable to pop out a little sibling.

But then there was Vadoma who had birthed two children, Vano and Roma.

One could immediately see the issue.

Simply put, Vano shouldn't exist. There should only have been one female child, but the rules of the Flora and Fauna quest had forced there to be two for story purposes since Roma was supposed to be a hidden quest reward for the player, a Mystic Follower.

Don't forget, Roma and Draco still had the Origin Grade Soul Bond passive skill linking them. This was what allowed Roma to be taken out and even tethered the rest of her people for Hikari to resurrect.

(AN: Check chapter 62 for the details of the Soul Bond.)

So because Roma could be taken away, one had to stay. But Roma was female because the player who initiated the quest was male, meaning that Vano, who was supposed to be female, could not be female, but had to become male.

But their clan's leader could only birth females, not males, and only one, but there had to be a reward for the quest and…

Yeah, you get the drift.

So there you got the abomination that was Vano, a being that had been developed as a female but was forcibly switched to a male at the last minute. He had the characteristics of a female, the mind of a female, the body of a female in terms of curves and softness, but one thing ruined it, and that was his male organ.

Worst part was, the organ wasn't even useful. It was tiny and couldn't be used even if Vano forced himself to be interested in women.

So he was a man that naturally desired men, and received all the hormonal impulses and joys that a female did around men and in bed with men, but did not have the fundamental organ that would truly allow him to be his true self.

He was a mistake, his emotions conflicted with his physiology and his desires were hard to sate, which was why he was forced to trick men into his bed. He could only even pull that off precisely because like Vadoma and like Roma, he was a 'beauty'.

No matter how sharp you were, until you saw it for yourself, you would never believe that this fellow was a trap.

This was a bonafide trap god, the God of Traps!

But that was exactly what Vadoma was asking. Vano was a male with female tendencies, so did he want to be fully male or did he want to be fully female, or was he happy with his current situation?

Clearly, the young man was not, given his response. He had hidden this feeling in his heart for a long time because he didn't want to hurt his mother, because she would definitely blame herself for his situation, nor did he want Roma to feel devastated as she was the indirect cause for her brother's situation.

"What do you want my child? Tell me and I will let my son-in-law fix it for you." Vadoma offered gently, rubbing Vano's back.

However, the young man smiled and shook his head. "I would love to merge my body and mind together and become who I should have been. Were it such an easy task for brother Draco to accomplish it, I wouldn't have kept silent all this while."

After all, the Origin Law of the Mystic Arts was what warped him like this under its rules, while even Roma's current situation was also enforced by it. Draco was strong, but if he could break the hold of Origin Laws, he would not need to fear Semi-Origin or even Origin Gods at all.

Even if he could, neither he nor Roma would want to have the Origin Laws broken, because that would sever them from their source of power and also alienate them from the rest of their Gypsy clan and its heritage.

A tricky situation.

"Anyway, I'm not worried. My niece is super talented, she will definitely become the new Origin God of our Mystic Arts, and once she does, I might ask her to change our situation with a flip of her wrist. I can wait till then." Vano said comfortingly to himself and to his mother, to which Vadoma could only sigh.

Suddenly, the two noticed a phenomenon in the nearby church, and then shared a knowing look.

"It seems our guests are here. Let's go and meet them." Vadoma suggested, which Vano was all too happy to oblige to as he was looking forward to a reunion with certain fellows.

His earlier sadness and depression disappeared, replaced with coyness and a predatory demeanor that would surely lure in her… his… targets.

These two were not the only ones here who moved closer to the church. Many other mortals and family members who were either close to the True God realm or wanted to stay here also came over.

This included the families and friends of those who resided in the Morningstar World, like those related to his concubines by blood as well as the likes of Vishad, Dwamena, Anan, and so on.

Everyone came to the glowing church with interested looks, understanding that their dull lives in the Divine Realm was about to change drastically with the introduction of new - and very chaotic - elements!

Within the church, six people stood together, five females and one male. The passing years had left very few traces on them, but one could notice some slight changes nonetheless.

For one, there was Roma. She had grown slightly taller, formerly being the shortest of the group, now standing at the same height as Draco. Her body had become even more curvy over the years as her bust and hips filled up slightly.

Her purple gems that were gained from her Ultima Sunt bloodline had become twice the size and glowed with a silvery color. Her flowing silver hair was now half silver and half lime colored due to her upgrade into a True God.

Zaine had also changed slightly. Her formerly loose and messy shoulder length brown hair was now combed and styled in a karen-like manner, befitting her nature as a crazy soccer mom.

She also wore something akin to Loki's own attire, which was skin tight polymer-like material that was flexible enough for movements while being both stylish and powerful. In fact, it was the default attire that Royal Devils wore, Mephisto, Draco's former True Devil Form and even the former Devil Gods had all been rocking this outfit.

Now Zaine and Loki did, but while it was stylish on Loki, it was ridiculous on Zaine because it enhanced her sexual attraction to insane levels. In the past decade, Draco had defiled her more than twice the amount of time he did Rina, and she was already second place!

The entire family could just be doing something utterly normal and boring and Zaine would only have to do something as harmless as laugh, which made her supreme assets shake, and Draco would lose all reason and pounce. The worst part was that Zaine was willing to accompany him anywhere and any time, even if it was in public!

You have no idea the stress the other wives had suffered these past few years having to watch these two and cover for them if they did it in appropriate times and places. After all, they couldn't let outsiders see and they definitely couldn't let the kids see!
