Chapter 666 God's New Ho
I let out a long yawn as I stretched from out of sight of everyone. I was hiding off in Eliza's garden, which was looking much better. There had been a hole here before from when Claire had been Goddess of the Angels. She had tried to co to with enough force to level all of Northwall. Luckily, I had been able to contain it, but it had destroyed the hedge maze and everything else.
"There are still a lot of people coming!" Eliza sighed from beside , and I looked down at her with a smile.
"But you still seem to be enjoying yourself," I said as I put my arm around her, kissing the top of her head.
Eliza looked up at with a warm smile. "That is all thanks to you. I know that I will always have you, and every one of the Goddesses that are stepping down in my life! I really couldn't be happier!"
"I am glad to hear that, but since the party is winding down, I think it was high ti I abducted my two angels," I laughed, and she nodded.
"You still have to wave your hand to build a ho, and from what I hear, you are pretty old!" Eliza laughed, making flinch back. "Wouldn't want you staying up too late!"
"Hey, old as I may be, you want to be my husband, so I can't be that bad!" I laughed as Eliza spun out of my arms.
"That doesn't help your case! That just ans you are an old man praying on my innocent heart!" Eliza said mockingly, and I tried to grab her, but she ran back to the party as I chased her.
"Help , Breya! This fowl beast is trying to get his fingers on to tickle my fair skin!" Eliza said from behind Breya, who was holding Grace.
"Sothing tells you deserve whatever he gives you, but that will have to wait for another ti," Breya said over her shoulder as everyone around us stopped talking to look at us, then she turned back to . "I think that it is about ti that we get going, is it not?"
I signed and smiled, then looked around at the won that had gathered. There were so dwarves, dragons, elves, and humans, but none of the other races yet.
"I hope that any of you here do your best next week, but rember, being a goddess is not a job that you do a certain amount of tis in a week. It is a job that you are always actively doing, and I want you all gathered here to rember that this week following up on the gas. This goes for all participants," I said, looking around at the new faces.
With that, I opened a portal to the Southern Monster Forest and headed through with Breya and Grace following behind. Once they were though, and the portal closed, Diablo appeared from my shadow.
"What is it you would have do, master?" Diablo asked, and I shrugged.
"Make so light while I create a new ho," I said and then looked at Breya. "Do you have any requests? There are no limits to what I can do, so you only have to tell what your dream ho would be."
Breya blinked at my offer, her silver eyes reflecting the moonlight, while she hugged our daughter tighter to her. She took a deep breath, looking around at the dense forest that would soon be our new ho. A light breeze stirred the leaves, rustling them gently, and the sounds of nightlife filled the silence.
"I had been living in the City of Angels for an eternity before coming to Northwall. Everything was so beautifully structured, ethereal, but... everything was the sa," she started, her gaze lost in the imnse forest sprawling before us. "What about living sothing different? A bit... wilder?"
I smiled softly, understanding where she was going. "You want a less-orderly structured place and more sync with nature, right?"
"Umm... Yes." Breya nodded, shyly returning my smile. "But I don't want a primitive hut or sothing. Can we mix the heavenly grace of angel architecture with the wild, free spirit of nature?"
"Not a bad idea. It'll be interesting to rge the two different aesthetic values," I mused, an idea forming in my mind. "How about a treehouse?"
Breya's eyes lit up at my suggestion; even little Grace gave a happy coo. "That... that sounds amazing!" she finally squealed, obviously excited.
"Alright then, a treehouse it is. Get ready, girls. Don't blink, or you'll miss it," I said, bending my knees slightly. With a deep breath, I jumped high into the sky.
While I was airborne, a wave of cosmic energy erupted from . It spread out to engulf most of the area around us, gently pushing Breya and Grace further from the epicenter. As the magic spread, the trees in its path grew at an alarming speed, their girth enlarging, their height soaring. Amidst the forest, a tree larger than all others erged—a true giant even amongst the trees of the Monster Forest—a titan ant to be our ho.
The tree's growth didn't stop till its top reached well above the top trees around it. Sturdy, giant branches protruded out of it on different levels, making separate floors, hanging from them. I conjured state-of-the-art living areas with clear crystal walls and ceilings but floors made from the tree itself, linking the individual spaces with large, winding branches.
Creating a grand entrance at the tree's base, I made a circular elevator running through the tree, saving us the nuisance of flying or climbing stairs. On the uppermost floor, I crafted a rooftop terrace with a vine canopy, offering a perfect sight of the forest and the night sky. An elegant swing was added to the side for us to use to enjoy the night sky.
Descending back beside Breya and Grace, I wrapped my arm around her, pulling her to my side. "Well, how's it?"
Tears welled up in Breya's eyes as she looked at our new ho. "It's... It's more than I could've ever imagined."
"We can add more or adjust things as we'd like as we go on. This is just the basics right now. Let's get inside. You must be tired," I said, leading her towards the treehouse.
