The Conquerors Path
chapter-436

"Thank you,"

I said as one of the nuns poured tea into my cup. It had been half an hour since I left the meeting room, yet the others still hadn't finished whatever they were discussing. I wasn't worried much as I knew that in the end, all of them would have to bow down and accept the truth.

'But first, I have to deal with this.'

My eyes trailed toward the nun that served me tea. Her brown hair cascaded down her back, and her black eyes kept looking at me with desire. Her lips were being bitten between her mouth, as she kept squirming in her place. Moreover, the holy nun dress she was wearing looked extra sexy with her nipples being shown along with heavy cleavage. She had clearly removed her bra, and ever since I entered, she had been trying to seduce me. She moved from shaking her ass sideways to giving me a shy look. The nun was clearly an amateur, but she was trying her best to get my attention.

'Aren't the nuns of Life supposed to be clean and pure?' I soon started to question the truth about the world around me. Just as the situation was getting heated up, with me coming to understand that this woman might jump on me, Hela entered. Her beauty and grace still ever-present.

The moment she entered the room, her head snapped towards the nun, the temperature getting colder as she commanded, "Leave us."

"Yes, s-saintess," the nun spoke in fear as she walked out. Just as she did, the atmosphere got warmer as Hela walked in front of me and sat at the chair facing me, her calm expression turning for the worst as she spoke.

"You're really giving me a headache, little brother..."

"Before I answer that, can I know what's up with that?" I asked, pointing towards the nun that left. To this, Hela only shook her head, her 'eyes' focusing on me as she started to speak.

"You know that all these nuns have to be chaste, right?"

"Yes," I replied.

"Do you know why?" She asked me.

"Nope, I always found it weird," I said. As the Goddess of Life's church, shouldn't they make the point of spreading life?

"Sigh, it's simple actually. Once you submit yourself to Goddess Orpheus, your life signature belongs to her. That means you have her mark, which translates to no one being worthy enough to seed life in them," her explanation turned me quiet, my expression turning for the worst, as I soon started to understand the deeper implementation of her words.

"Basically, the 'life' within the nuns will be too high for anyone to mark, thus they can never spread life?" I asked.

"Yes," Hela nodded her head at my words, her expression looking quite taunt.

"Do these people know about these conditions?" I asked.

"Yes, they do. It's the will of the Goddess that fills them, and they are connected. As with the mark of the goddess, they are always content. They don't need anything else but..."

'There is always a but,' Hela's expression now was surely looking a bit tough as she spoke in a light tone.

"But it's different for you."

'Sigh... Yeah, pour out the news,' I thought, resigning myself to the inevitable.

I leaned back in my chair, relaxing my body as my eyes focused on Hela. I asked her a question, knowing that the answer wouldn't be pleasant.

"How is it different for me?"

"As the Child of Life, this mark doesn't work on you. Moreover, as the Holy Child of Life, having life born from you is the highest honor and grace there is," Hela replied, not surprising me with her answer.

'I keep forgetting the fact that this used to be an eroge game...' I thought to myself.

The RPG elements were still present, but ultimately, the game I used to play was an eroge. To facilitate that background, there were always some rules that looked out of the norm on Earth. Furthermore, even with the natural gender roles being the same, most of the powerful people I meet are women, including all the gods.

'Though I gave up the thought of the game.'

Living here has taught me to let go of my common sense from Earth. Perhaps, back then, the current status I have might have seemed immoral and wrong. After all, these girls can only have me, right? But seeing them from their perspective is the greatest honor they can have. To even be with me is an honor in itself.

This world isn't Earth, and trying to use any such logic or understanding is completely useless. What might be the law there isn't something that applies here.

"So let me get this straight. I will have all the nuns of Life gunning for me to impregnate them?" I asked, rubbing my head.

Hela gave me an awkward smile. "In a nutshell, yes, but it also includes even the Life Chargers Force..."

Hearing this, my lips twitched. The Life Chargers Force is the combat-initiated division of the Church of Life, a group of extremely powerful, ancient, and order-keeping women. Every church has them, even in Razellia's church, where they represent the six cardinal directions of destruction.

"Urgh... my life..." I mumbled in a low tone. This wasn't good at all. Most of my lovers are going to be yandere powerful killers, and the word sharing isn't something they're used to or will ever get used to.

"You don't have to worry about it. They can't force it upon you. The creation of life is something that should be loving and consensual," Hela said in a low voice, trying to calm me down.

"But that doesn't mean they can't try to seduce me, right?" I asked, and hence knowing that it was true Hela could only be silent. They could pull all the stunts of desire on me, there is no stop for that.

'I kind of expected this...' I thought to myself, slipping out of thoughts that were getting derailed. I refocused on Hela.

"So, how did it go?" I asked, to which Hela's expression turned grim.

"We will be contacting the Church of Razellia. Such a thing needs great discussion, as it has never happened before," she said as she took a cup, pouring herself a drink and taking a sip, clearly trying to calm her nerves.

"Sigh...you do know what will happen once this news comes to light?" she asked, her eyes clearly focused on me, to which I nodded my head.

"I know, and I'm willing," I said.

"Sigh...I wanted to spend more time with you, but it would seem that you brought with yourself a buttload of problems for me," Hela said, standing up, clearly in need of dealing with the problems I gave her, but not before she leaned forward and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"Let's talk some more next time, my little brother," she said as she started to leave, but before she did, I asked one question.

"Among all the nuns that need me, does that include you?"

My question passed her as she stood there with her back to me, a moment of silence after which she spoke.

"Who knows..."

Those words lingered as she disappeared from the room, causing the sexily dressed nun to enter back with a sway to her steps, her eyes focused on me.

"Sigh...this is going to be a long day..."

.....

'The place is beautiful,' I thought as I walked through a garden filled with beauty and grace. All around, I could see the beauty of nature, along with several animals and beasts prancing around. Their innocent-filled lives were a great way for me to relax, and their movements reminded me of Luna, that wolf I found, one that could swallow up the gods.

'Her presence is getting stronger,' I held onto my connection towards Luna. She regained her memory and went out to regain her powers. I could feel her getting stronger and stronger, and I could also feel the extreme yearning deep within her to see me. Even I missed snuggling against her fur, it had been some time since she left too.

But even then, I could feel that she was close, close to regaining everything she lost, close to coming back to me, stronger and better, probably even crazier.

Just as I was chuckling at this thought, I felt a pull in me, a communicator that had gone silent. I felt the natural pull in me, and my heart started to beat faster, as my mind churned, an image of a heart-throbbing beauty filled my mind.

"Vena..." I called out and just as I did, I disappeared from where I sat.
