Scarlet
I quickly find myself being rather surprised at what I see as I look at Earth and Tartarus more deeply. Because other than the different species intermingling, I also find more and more technology used in Tartarus. Not to ntion better infrastructure.
There’s even a city in Tartarus now that has skyscrapers. Which is so bizarre to see on that world.
As for Earth? There are so places filled with lower leveled demons that seem to be blocked off to the general public and strictly guarded.
It’s like they went and immigrated a bunch of weak, non-sapient demons to Earth to give the humans and demons living there more ways to level up.
What is even more surprising though is the sight of void creatures still in the universe. All spawning within the dead zone I created in my battle. And all with life force, allowing people to level up from killing them.
I focus my ears on listening to what’s currently going on, and the first thing I hear about is an alliance of mutual protection set up between Tartarus and Earth. Sothing that I’m rather pleased about.
Then there’s the negotiations with nations from other worlds that were teleported there by their spirit rulers before they set up teleportation arrays to reach their worlds from Earth and Tartarus. And other worlds at that. Interlinking a lot of the remaining worlds.
“A lot has changed…” I can’t help but mutter.
But that lot is all good changes.
My smile grows a little bit at that thought before I finally turn my attention towards my next point of interest.
My friends and family. Let’s see how they’re…
I feel my thoughts freeze when I find Mother standing on a balcony next to Father, Mom, and Dad.
But what halts my thoughts isn’t the sight of them looking up at the sky as if they could see .
No. It’s what I sense in Mother’s belly.
She’s… pregnant.
She’s pregnant.
Pregnant.
Sister? Brother?
I focus on her stomach before smiling.
Sister, by the looks of it.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
“She’s not the only one,” I hear Tar suddenly speak again, returning my attention to him for a mont to find him looking up at . The tanuki seemingly having recovered by now. “Look at your friends.”
My friends?
I return my gaze to Earth before searching for Belle and Arthur, along with the rest of my friends. Only to find myself faced with another rather large shock.
Is that… their kid?
Tar nods his head up against my chest as Shirou simply cries while hugging from behind.
Huh.
I watch Belle and Arthur as they stand outside of a relatively large house with a kid held in Belle’s arms. The kid looks to be around five or so years old, and he looks a lot like both of them. Albeit ever so slightly more like his mother, mostly because he has golden eyes instead of black ones.
Other than that, all three of them have black hair. Albeit with Belle and the kid’s hair being a little bit lighter in color than Arthur’s.
His personality seems to be more like his father’s though. Judging by the calm, cool, slightly cold, and collected look on his face.
“The two of them haven’t had their official wedding ceremony yet, but they have gotten married,” Tar says, making warmth spread through my chest with his words. “They were waiting for you to have the official ceremony. They would’ve waited to get married entirely, but that plan fell through when Belle got pregnant.”
Right. Because it’s hard for high level beings to conceive in the first place. They probably weren’t expecting to get anywhere for a long ti. Several decades even.
I’m actually more surprised that I’m getting a sister, though. Considering how high Mother and Father’s levels are.
“They were rather surprised as well,” Tar says with a shrug, still not leaving my arms as he looks up at with his chin still on my chest. Which can’t be that comfortable. “And don’t worry about the baby, because it’s doing well thanks to your mother and grandfather.”
Yeah, I can tell that from here.
He blinks before chuckling and muttering, “Right. You’re pretty much a goddess at this point.”
Yeah. In power at least.
That gives him pause as he tilts his head and says, “No, not just in power. In na too.”
This ti I’m given pause instead.
In… na?
I… have a bad feeling about this.
Now I can sense his amusent, which only makes hurry up to look at Earth, Tartarus, and the other worlds all the more. And what I find has feeling a chill run down my spine.
Because there are entire religions built on dozens of planets, Earth and Tartarus included, worshipping .
The Goddess of Blood.
Sacred Wolf of the Blood Moon.
Alpha of the Universe.
The Blood Goddess.
The Wolf Goddess.
And who knows how many more titles.
Well… that’s not disturbing or anything. Not in the least.
“Good,” Tar says, sounding way too pleased with this developnt as I shoot him a frown.
That was sarcastic.
“I know,” he says without the slightest hint of sha.
I stare at him for several seconds before deciding to ignore the tanuki as I glance at Shirou, who finally seems to be calming down.
“You good, Shirou?” I ask while tilting my head a little. And when she nods her head making eye contact with for the first ti, I add, “Good. Then I can go ahead and introduce you to Tar.”
“I already know the furball,” she says, surprising for a brief second before I rember that she can also see everything in the universe. So it’s no surprise she knows him. Or recognizes him at least.
“Then I’ll introduce you to him,” I state with a nod while glancing at Tar, briefly thinking about how nice it is to have privacy in my thoughts again. From her, at least.
Since we’re not in my mind space anymore.
Anyways, Tar, et Shirou.
He looks up at her for a second as I state, “It might take a minute to explain.”
