Village Head's Debauchery
chapter-1073

Selene touched the side of her neck from a distance, where the familiar One-winged crest was etched into her skin as she processed the scene before her.

In the compound, Leona and the other gods' chosens stood rooted in their spots, a shiver crawling down their spine as they stared wide-eyed at Iris. They had heard about what had transpired from Leif and Lyndon, and despite finding it hard to believe, they barely doubted it, understanding the capabilities of Paradise inhabitants.

However, witnessing the sight firsthand was astonishing.

Aerialia, Seth, Zogar, Seraphina, Greta, and the others stared with frowns, realizing that despite intently observing what had just happened, they did not understand it.

The runes soon began to shrink, transforming into the One-winged crest that returned to Iris's forehead. The Divine Apostle crest soon faded, vanishing from their sight.

Instantly, Iris snapped out of her daze and fell to the ground unconsciously. Fortunately, before her body could hit the ground, Orion immediately activated the One-winged sky Art and utilized it on her, instantly suspending her mid-air.

"I'll ensure that Isadora gets the necessary contribution points as compensation for your help, Patraich Rylan. We'll be taking our leave now," Orion said, shifting his attention towards Patriarch Rylan.

Patriarch Rylan immediately broke out of his thoughts, hid the fear within his heart, and shifted his focus towards Orion. "...Okay, Supreme Leader. I'm happy that we could help Paradise. But I'd appreciate it if you could please give me an explanation about what's going on. Will she be okay? What happened to the Spirit Beast?" he asked, his expression masked with a calm facade.

He knew his current position didn't give him the authority to demand an explanation for what had just transpired, but he couldn't stop holding himself back. There was no way he could.

Selene had returned to the compound and looked curiously at the unconscious Iris.

Aerialia hovered beside her, unseen by everyone except Orion. Her eyes continuously flickered upon Iris, and she had a deep frown.

"I'll give you an explanation about what's transpiring later, Patriarch Rylan. For now, we'll be taking our leave," Orion said, gesturing to the others to follow as he rose into the air and swiftly vanished into the distance.

"Don't worry, Father, I'll make sure to uncover what's going on so we can understand what has just transpired," Isadora said, her tone firm and confident. She was sure she could uncover a few things during work or get the information straight from Orion when he wasn't busy.

"I'll be waiting then," Patriarch Rylan smiled. However, he felt this matter was much more complex than anticipated.

...

At the edge of the Paradise

After keeping Iris safely within the research centre so her condition could be monitored until she awakened, Orion greeted the key leaders goodbye and left.

"Have you figured out anything?" Orion asked, glancing at Aerialia.

"Unfortunately, I haven't," Aerialia replied before adding, "The only thing we can do now is wait until one of them awakens and observe the changes in their bodies."

She doubted that such a significant event would leave no trace, so they could only wait for them to wake up and understand how they felt and any alterations.

Orion nodded and turned his gaze forward. He knew Aerialia was also grappling with the situation, so he kept his expectations in check. He needed to be present to relieve Isadora of the workload he had left for her.

...

Later that evening

Orion bid Isadora goodbye and swiftly returned to his manor. As he landed within his compound, he immediately noticed a figure emerging from the door and wrapping her arms around him.

It was Gina.

Her bulging stomach was noticeably more pronounced, and she had taken a well-deserved break from her training to be cared for by the household until she delivered. With Shani and a few others also pregnant with his child, the household was about to grow even more.

"How was your day?" Gina asked with a bright smile.

"Amazing. How about yours?" Orion asked as he scooped her up in a princess carry and walked into the manor.

"It was hectic. You should have seen the medicine Greta made for me today. And there's..." Gina began, recounting everything that had happened to her throughout the day.

Orion listened attentively, nodded and smiled, and also warmly greeted the rest of his wives as they passed by.

As Gina finished her story, she suddenly remembered something. She added, "Oh, Mom and Greta wanted me to tell you that Crystalia has woken up, and she doesn't appear to be in any critical condition."

Orion immediately halted and scanned the entire manor. Sensing the presence of Greta, Reena, Celeste, Fifi, Ingrid, and Selene gathered in Crystalia's room, he nodded understandingly. He gently set Gina down, giving her a warm smile before swiftly heading in their direction.

Watching Orion's swift exit, Gina sighed softly, then returned to join her sisters in getting some much-needed rest.

....

Orion reached the room quickly, opened the door, and stepped inside. His eyes focused on Crystalia, seated on the bed with a soft smile on her lips. He approached her and sat down beside her on the bed.

"Are you okay? How are you feeling right now?" Orion asked gently, his hand tenderly clasping hers.

"I'm fine. I feel much better than before, so I don't think I'm in danger," Crystalia reassured

him.

Orion nodded, then turned to the others. "We'll need some privacy for now," he said calmly.

One by one, the women nodded and quietly left the room, including Selene. Now that Crystalia seemed stable, Selene felt her earlier anxiety dissipate. She decided to take a well- deserved break and spend time with her sisters. Although Elysia and the others frequently invited her to the manor, she consistently adhered to the rules as one of Orion's Mistresses, limiting her visits.

As the door closed behind them, Orion swiftly summoned the Crimson Greatsword. It appeared before him in a flash of light, followed closely by Aerialia.

Aerialia's gaze immediately fell on Crystalia. "How are you, dear?" she asked, her voice full of

concern.
