Village Head's Debauchery-Chapter 1310: The Strength Behind The Supreme Leader
"Don't worry. We'll lead the Vylkr spawn away from here so that the aftermath of the battle harms none of you," he said, noticing the concern in Iy'yra's eyes.
The mysterious Spirit Beasts that had gathered might restrain themselves from causing harm, but the Vylkr spawn would show no such hesitation. That was why they had chosen to lure it away.
"If there's another Vylkr spawn in hiding, declare loudly that you know what attracted a King-ranked Spirit Beast to this region. They'll surely step in. I doubt they would sit back and watch their only clue be destroyed by a Vylkr spawn."
There could be more of them waiting, hidden. They needed to act while expecting the worst.
"Say nothing else until we return."
Under his orders, none of them would be able to utter a word about Paradise until he returned.
The Spirit Beasts they had rescued from the base were still in their miniature forms. They were all kept on the White Winged Gryphon's territorial island, awaiting the right moment to return to their homes.
"You don't need to worry about our safety, Supreme Leader. After everything you've done for us, it is our privilege to risk our lives for Paradise," Iy'yra said with conviction.
"I wish you a safe journey… and a safe return."
Orion nodded at J'garin. He had formed a Spirit Beast contract with Zymera so he could freely take her to the Material Realm. He hadn't yet done so for J'garin.
J'garin bowed respectfully in response.
Without hesitation, Ilse enveloped Orion, Sylvalis, and the others within her barrier. They vanished from sight and swiftly rushed into the distance.
At that moment, the island's barrier shattered.
The floating island, once hidden, was revealed to the world.
The crimson-skinned Vylkr spawn, clad in a fiery suit of armour, fixed its gaze on the exposed island. Then, it shifted its focus toward Avarielle and the others who had appeared before it.
"Goddesses. It seems my intuition was correct. You must be responsible for what happened to the 1112th Base," he said.
The Vylkr spawn turned its head toward the direction Ilse and the others had fled.
"Hmph! No matter how far they run, it will be a waste of effort. I'll deal with them after I'm finished with you."
Avarielle and the others' expressions darkened at the implication of his words.
Was the Celestial Spirit Court working hand in hand with a Vylkr spawn?
Though difficult to believe, it wasn't an impossible scenario.
They swiftly relayed the information they had just learned to Orion and the others.
Avarielle surged forward.
"I've heard a lot about the Vylkr spawns. Today, I'll see just how strong you are compared to the Will of the Divine Mysteries."
The Vylkr spawn frowned at Avarielle's words. However, just as he was about to question their meaning, she uttered,
"Mirror Realm."
In an instant, Avarielle, the others, and the Vylkr spawn were pulled into the mirror space.
Sensing what had transpired, the mysterious Spirit Beasts who had been searching for clues emerged from their hiding places.
They appeared above the floating island instantly.
The entire sky and surroundings filled with Spirit Beasts, all staring solemnly at the space where Avarielle and the others had vanished into the Mirror Realm. Others turned their attention to the floating island itself—some even approaching it cautiously.
At that moment, something unexpected occurred.
Avarielle and the women who had disappeared moments ago reappeared, blocking the path of the approaching Spirit Beasts.
Greta's figure split into clones, focusing on one of the mysterious Spirit Beasts present.
But that wasn't all—
Celeste touched a patch of clay that had emerged on her skin. Her hands were covered in divine light.
In an instant, countless small clay figurines materialized, each taking on the appearance of Celeste and the other women. They swiftly became lifelike, indistinguishable from Celeste in her short yellow flowery dress and the others.
Derry did the same. Countless clay figures emerged from her body and spread across the floating island, each transforming into a figure indistinguishable from the others. freёweɓnovel.com
"You really hid your abilities well," Avarielle said, glancing at the multitude of goddess look-alikes, a demonstration of the women's frightening gifts.
"It's not that we wanted to hide it. But we were tired of Orion always treating us as though we were so fragile that we needed to be cradled all the time. Although I can't compare it with the extraordinary experiences he's been through, I'm his mother. I dealt with many things long before he was born. We just wanted to show him that we're capable of handling things on our own," Celeste responded, clicking her tongue in annoyance.
"Right now, Orion is probably thinking he left us and the helpless Paradise's citizens to face the terror of the Vylkr spawn and the surrounding mysterious Spirit Beasts. He thought you alone were capable of making this plan work and that we were just here to play support."
"But that's far from the truth. By the time he returns, the Vylkr spawn will be captured, the White Winged Gryphon's territorial land will be safe, and the mysterious Spirit Beasts will be waiting to meet the Supreme Leader of Paradise."
"I'll be honest with you. I'm a little jealous that only Fifi gets to follow him on his adventures all the time.
"If his abilities could grow into such a cheat-like existence, ours can too. Some of us are descendants of the Omnithriallians, after all. Even if these are merely clones, and our strength is halved in this realm, how can we watch our sweetheart struggle while we are stronger and possess the power to protect him?" Derry spoke.
"How long do you think Orion will stay in his current position before we get another chance to pull something like this off?"
"I agree with both of them. After living for so long, I finally have the chance to give birth to children of my own. Something that was once an unattainable dream for a few of us," Ingrid commented.
"Now, thanks to Orion, it has come to pass. And now I crave something more — strength. I want to see my husband climb to the peak, and I want to be strong enough to protect him."
"We had to watch him risk his life to save our race. We're not some damsels in distress who would just watch our husband struggle against enemies who don't even possess the qualifications to meet him," Crystallia said sharply.
"For us, our encounter with him might have been by luck. But we watched him make a real effort to ensure that the Pixie Race remains in the highest standings within Paradise. He's the reason we were able to retrieve the divine artefacts left behind by our creator," Maeve said.
"We don't care who Naka is, or the Vylkr entities, or the Divine Corps.
If they want to see our husband, they'll have to pass through us first."
"What can I say? Our beloved gave us children we could call our own — something we never knew we needed. He expanded our sister race even more. He reunited our long-lost sisters with us," Anara said
"It was because of our support that the Village lasted for several millennia. We're one of the key reasons it was able to sustain itself and grow into Paradise. We may be a peaceful race... But it's time we show our hobby that we can also wage war.
She smiled softly. However, her smile at that moment exuded a chill that made everyone who gazed upon it shiver.
"I honestly think Orion doesn't listen to me the way he used to because of my new appearance. He never treated my words lightly when I looked like someone who could be his grandmother. Though I enjoy looking like my peak younger form, I'm considering returning to my older form. He loved me like that regardless, so I don't see the need to remain like this if it's going to come with such huge disadvantages," Meldra said.
"I'm considering it too. He still takes my words to heart, but he doesn't treat them with as much seriousness as before. Maybe it has to do with the aged signs of wisdom," Celia admitted.
"Just admit that you've realized you can't compete in beauty against some of us. You want to pull out without admitting defeat. Tsk, tsk! Why hide it behind such flowery words?" Derry snarked sarcastically.
"As for me, I don't think I'm ready to change out of this look anytime soon." She combed her hair backwards elegantly, revealing her smooth skin in the process.
Listening to the women's conversation — as it devolved into who was prettier — Avarielle couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter.
After a moment, she composed herself and said, "That child has truly outdone himself by gathering such remarkable women by his side. Never before have I witnessed a divine family with such numbers, unity, courage, and strength. Without a doubt, this household stands as the greatest divine family I have ever encountered."
