Chapter 1031: Nothing To Fear?

?

"Mind me less than my lady..." Selica growled at him, but quickly stopped, "You mean we're both a bother?"

"You fool." Betty appeared standing on Arad's head, "Arad rarely shows affection to anyone besides his wives but you managed to get it. He watched you grow from a helpless woman foolishly sitting on his territory and emitting her magic under Sena's orders to now that you become an actual powerful being capable of dispatching two powerful drakainas at once."

Betty's eyes shifted toward Arad's wives, "You better be careful with her around and keep him on a tight leash." Arad reached and tried to grab Betty's legs but she quickly disappeared and appeared beside Aella.

"Careful, he might actually cheat on you this time." Betty giggled as she stared at the bright red Selica.

Aella grabbed Betty by the ear and lifted her up, "Keep those thoughts to yourself." She can draw a four-hundred-pound{180 Kg} bow, but it was hard to carry Betty who weighs only around 40{18 Kg} pounds.

"AWAWAWAW! My ear! You'll rip it apart!" Betty cried, her whole body was suspended from her ear.

"Hell, did you miss me?" Lala appeared behind Arad's back, hugging him around the waist.

"No one missed." A dagger emerged from Arad's back and stabbed her in the stomach. As Lala recoiled back, Zia walked out of Arad's back and pushed her away. "You rotten succubus nun!"

Lala looked at Zia with a grin as her wound quickly healed, "Said the vampire nun, aren't you a bit too confident."

"You dared wrap your filthy arms around my dear god, sucking your blood won't be enough." Zia's eyes burned red as two batwings emerged from her back and her fangs extended down, her eyes started bleeding as she glared at Lala, her body raging with enough blood magic to rival that of Vlad. Now that Arad had taken Akasha's power even his vampire servants had grown far stronger than before.

Lala giggled as her nun robe clung tightly to her skin, two small wings emerged from her hips alongside a leathery black tail and two black horns grew from her head. As she closed her eyes and opened them again they looked like burning eclipses engulfed in golden light.

"My two goddesses are fully supporting me, you better pray you're good at using your tongue in more things than spitting nonsense, blood-sucking fiend." Lala looked at Zia with an excited grin and licked her lips. It had been far too long since she had fought anything of worth. When she fought Vorvadoss's clone before she was forced to protect the university so that wasn't even funny.

"You two... stop it." Arad grabbed them by the shoulders. Seeing him glaring at them the two stopped, "As you order." Zia backed away.

"She stabbed me, what do you have to say?" Lala looked at Arad with a smug face, "How do you intend to compensate me? I would very much love to stab her back, or she can humbly

apologize. I'm easier to please than you expect."

Arad sighed, "Are you really going to play this?"

"You aren't fun at all." Lala approached Zia and bowed, "Sorry for trying to control your precious god, it was my fault to provoke you."

Zia also bowed back, "I apologize as well, I acted rashly. Even though I knew you couldn't control him, just seeing you try made me act like that."

Arad looked at Betty, "You brought her with you?"

"If you're going to heal Zul then you need a powerful healer like her. I'm sure she'll be more help than not taking her with you." Betty stopped struggling and replied. Aella looked at her for a moment, "Weren't you in pain a second ago?" She was still lifting her up in the air.

"I'm short and light, this isn't really hurting me at all." She disappeared from Aella's hand and appeared standing on Arad's head again. "I'll be going with you as well, it's been a while since I had any fun." Betty is a halfling, her race was named after the elves, for being half their height. The elves' average height is 1.82 meters or 6 feet, which means the halflings' average height was just 3 feet.

Betty is extremely tall compared to her kind, being a whole half an inch above average. That is why she could easily stand on Arad's head, he was almost twice her height.

"Fine, do whatever you like." He extended his hand forward and gravity magic rushed out of his fingertips in a misty purple haze, engulfing everyone. Zul's body shrunk down to the size of a cat as everyone remained floating in the air thanks to Arad's magic.

"Such delicate control over size magic!" Betty stared at Zul with a shocked face.

"Not just size magic, look at this gravity magic. You've got better at it." Sena looked at him with a grin, "Where did you learn this?"

Arad looked at Betty, "She knows where I learned it." He flew with them outside but right before he could get out of the ground he felt a familiar aura waiting. He promptly stopped, seeing Abel standing there with Sara behind him. "Arad, you've returned?"

"What are you doing here?" Arad landed with everyone.

"I sensed two powers clashing beneath the ground so I came to check on it with my sister." He looked at Sara, "One was a holy signal so she insisted on coming with me."

They sensed Lala and Zia when they were about to start fighting.

"I almost didn't recognize your magic, Teacher Lala." Sara was also one of her students, albeit one who usually skipped classes. Even today she didn't attend as she had some business to take care of.

"We're going to heal someone, come with us." Lala called her and Sara looked at Abel, "Brother, I'll be going with them if that's the case. I hope you can maintain everything on your own."

"I can hold it for a few weeks if you want, but don't expect me to sign any big deals, those will be waiting for you." He then looked at Arad, "I would usually ask you to take care of her, but feel free to make her suffer a bit. I'm going to drown in papers because of her."

"BROTHER!" Sara shouted at him but Abel ignored her, flying away. "If it's between you and him then I won't interfere."

Sena giggled, "Now we even got a devil nun with us. I wonder what's next..." She looked at Arad with a grin.

"Why are you looking at me?" Arad sighed as he shifted into his draconic form, "Get on my back, it'll be easier and more comfortable for you like this."

Everyone took a seat on Arad's back as he held them tight with gravity magic and flew away. "By the way..." Sena looked at Arad, "Did you get bigger? Your humanoid form that is?"

"I did, that was several days ago." Arad's humanoid had changed while he trained with Kayden before he went to Yog's world. To him, that was over a year ago, but to them, it was just a day or two.

"But I have to say, it's really weird." She looked at him with a smug grin, "Who taught you that size magic, was it Zephyr, is she already free?"

"No, it was a fairy named Plum, a little nugget of chaos and plant magic. I've already been telling them stories, I'll start from the beginning." Arad was telling his wives about what he experienced in the other world, all of those adventures and hardships, that was a place that he would take his wives to if he could.

Thinking of what happened there Arad felt a bit sad, by now almost twenty years should've passed in that world, and those four should've already forgotten about him by now. By the time he gets back to Hati's house and heals Zul, they would've already died of old age.

Learning time magic had quickly shot to the top of his priorities. Now with his enchanted magic abilities such a thing didn't look like a dream anymore.

"That's like her," Sena sighed, "Time is cruel, even as we fly now countless lives are being lost to it, millions of people crying, futures burned and hopes crushed. Whether it's for good or bad, it doesn't matter to those who died for they would never see it anyway." She tapped

Arad's back.

"Nothing is immortal, nothing is absolute, nothing perfect, nothing is infinite, nothing is worthy of the word omnipotent. She is omniscient and knows, that all the world is worth, is nothing." Sena patted Arad's back, "Don't worry yourself with what is outside your power, for it's not your responsibility to carry it."

In the outer world, Nyar sat on his fleshy throne, looking at an endless sea of grotesque abominations. "It's almost time. A human day is all that's left." He looked forward and a clone of himself appeared. "The gods shall be watching, everything is going as I planned."

The abominations giggled

"We must kill him before he grows any stronger, but be careful, everyone should follow my orders, take one step outside my plan and you'll throw everything into chaos." He giggled, "I love chaos like all of you, but this isn't the time for it."

"My lord." One of them spoke, "If he doesn't have the core then we have nothing to fear, why

not charge him head-on?"

"You were born recently and speak like it." Nyar nodded, "He indeed doesn't have the core,

his mother does. She is keeping it safe for now."

"Then why not attack directly?"

"His mother is indeed terrifyingly powerful, as is the overgod and the other gods. But...he...he

is the one we should fear, the only one we fear." He looked at Arad's reflection in a massive

pool of water.

"He is a bomb, we must treat it carefully and with the gentlest of touches. One wrong shake and we'll die before we know it. We must drown him in depression, kill his will to live first."

Nyar stood, "We must bait him away and give his wives and friends a taste of our hospitality. As long as you follow my lead, you've got nothing to fear!" Something warm started pouring on Nyar's head, dripping across his yellow hood and onto his chest and legs, it smelled weird, "Nothing to fear?" A voice came from above, and when he

looked up, the overgod Cain was pissing on him.

"You did hit my wife, didn't you? Only I can hit them. And now... it's time for another genocide." He glared at Nyar with a raging face and burning blue eyes. Nyar indeed did hit Yog in their earlier fight and Cain had come for payback, with interest.

"I agree..." Yog said with a large smile on her face as she appeared standing on Cain's head,

"You didn't think you'd escape from my gaze, did you?" Ever since their fight with his clone that appeared in Isbert's world Yog had been hard at work trying to locate Nyar's base in the outer world, and now she did.
