Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1244 Zara's Decision, A Divine Household!

Chapter 1244  Zara's Decision, A Divine Household!

"We can't because doing so would mean limiting ourselves to their level. For the Supreme Leader and his household to have reached this level on their own proves they are all capable, but we want to walk our own path, knowing we've given it our all. The concept of divinity is too grand and profound for one to suppress oneself in such a way," Brane replied, lowering his head in respect. General Reynold had taken care of their race, so Brane offered him all the respect he could muster.

"Haha! Good... You remind me of myself and many others who would rather step into the unknown to ascend to divinity than lower our heads in defeat and accept our fate. You carry the heritage of the Omnithriallianss, just as I do, and you should be confident in yourself. Don't let your talent be limited. Even the divine should tremble at your confidence," General Reynold said with laughter.

"However, if you fail, at least you will know you tried your best. And if you ever decide to give up, come to me, and we will figure something out. For now, though, only you can make this choice." He focused on them, including Seth and Zogar in his words.

Among them, Zara was the most valuable. In this chaotic world where divine beings plot their deaths and resurrections, anomalies defy fate, throwing a wrench into the order of all things and destabilizing what was once planned; those who could foresee the future accurately were rare talents.

Others might see a future that would change before it began, and some couldn't see anything at all due to the various forces at play. Only when true gods ascended to divinity did such matters become trivial. However, true gods rarely intervened in the affairs of regarding such matters.

General Reynold hoped that Zara would eventually choose to ascend to divinity, but he didn't need to force her. He chose to respect their decision.

"Thank you. We will remember your words and seek you out when the time is right," Brane responded with a nod, bowing respectfully while kneeling.

Zara bowed alongside her husband.

"Have you made up your mind?" Orion asked, looking at Zara.

Zara raised her head, meeting Orion's gaze, and said, "I'm sorry, but I've made my choice. I won't ascend until my husband also has a chance to ascend."

Orion nodded in understanding and responded, "I will make Paradise's resources available for you so that you can do your best to achieve ascension." He was confident they would figure something out, especially now that their realm had expanded further into its dimension. He might be a unique individual, even compared to other extraordinary beings. However, he didn't need to be overly arrogant when Naka, the hidden figures behind the Divine Corps, and other extremely powerful figures were still alive. 'The higher I climb, the more I can see the chasm separating us,' Orion thought. Orion remembered when he had once believed he could face Naka or the Divine Mysteries while still a four-star warrior, and now he found that laughable. He had already paid the price after discovering that Naka had been spying on them constantly. Why Naka hadn't emerged to confront them, Orion didn't know, and he hoped that wouldn't happen until they were ready to face him.

"Thank you, Supreme Leader!" Zara, Brane, Seth and Z said simultaneously.

"Supreme Leader, I hope you can help me with something. Since I'm not... viable for the condition, could you help someone else close to me ascend?" Zogar asked, lowering his head to the ground.

"Me too," Seth chimed in. "I will think about it," Orion responded. Unlike Brane and Zara, Zogar and Seth were still full of life and weren't in a rush to ascend. They had time, but that might not be the case for any loved ones around them who might not have the opportunity to reach the level they had.

If it had been any other individual, they would have swiftly accepted the decision and chosen to begin immediately. However, for Orion, who didn't just want to have children with every woman he met but instead only with those he had sworn to spend eternity with, this was an important matter that required careful thought. Moreover, just thinking about the chaos that would ensue if he decided to copulate with all of the single women in Paradise—helping them ascend to divinity while also bearing his children—was enough to imagine strife that would reverberate for countless generations. That wasn't the legacy he wanted to create for their new realm. Aside from the occasional ascensions here and there due to his interference, Orion believed it was best to allow people to ascend to divinity naturally. So, for him, this was a personal and universal decision.

Seth and Zogar nodded in understanding as though they had already expected this response.

Orion turned to General Reynold and said, "Since you're here, there are some things I need your help with." He quickly explained the situation regarding the nymphs, the demigoddess among them, and the tainteds. Through his Divine Medallion of Sovereign Accord, he had received several reports, including about individuals on the verge of transforming into tainteds.

"I'm not certain if we can help the demigoddess, but your partners might be able to figure something out for the transformed tree nymphs and help them recover," General Reynold responded, turning to look at Saria, Anara, Dariya, and Malaia. His eyes briefly lingered on Saria before withdrawing his gaze. In the past, he would have examined their condition himself. Nevertheless, with so many tree nymph goddesses present, he realized it would be best for them to use this opportunity to train their divine capabilities, especially since they were the ones most familiar with their nymph sisters.

Orion responded with a nod.

"Take those infested by the Deathplague to the Mirror Realm. Once we're done curing them, we'll select a special universe to send them to and place them there," General Reynold said.

Orion nodded once more.

"If that's all, we'll take our leave," General Reynold said. He and Oberon swiftly transformed into streams of light that vanished into the stairs. The twelve-step staircase floating in the air transformed into a streak of light that shot toward the direction of the former Village Chief's compound. When it arrived at its previous position, it transformed into an enormous sundial. But this time, numerous mysterious patterns surrounded the sundial, and its entire form was wrapped in ever-continuous swirling white and inky black flames. It exuded a mysterious aura, like an entity not from this plane of existence and above it.

After General Reynold and Oberon left, the women began discussing various topics. Some returned to the manor to check on the children while Fifi and Tala approached Orion.

"We need a place where we can test our abilities and divine mandates," Fifi said.

Tala nodded in agreement. Now that she had surpassed Orion in strength, she was eager to join him on his explorations, just like Fifi. She saw this as an opportunity to bond with him and make up for their time apart. At times, she felt she was falling behind, giving her the illusion that their relationship was becoming shallow. While some of her sisters shared their experiences handling these feelings, only Fifi seemed to truly understand her struggle. Fifi had helped her find a way to cope with her current predicament.

However, they needed a place to train and push their abilities to the limit, but they couldn't do so within Paradise, especially near the children. They hoped Orion could provide them with a suitable place to practice.

"I'll speak with Ilse and see if she can secure a space at the Golden Palace for you to use," Orion responded. He then turned to Ilse, whose emotions had calmed. Her face was no longer teary but wore an expressionless gaze, seemingly detached from their conversation. "Is that okay with you, Ilse?" Orion asked.

Ilse focused on him, swept her gaze over the women, and then refocused on Orion. She nodded, "I will do my best to secure a place for them at the Golden Palace immediately."

"Are you sure you're in the right condition to do so?" Orion asked, his tone curious. He had expected her to take a break before offering her help and hadn't anticipated her willingness to assist immediately.

Ilse sighed tiredly and nodded. "Yes, I am." She glanced at Orion's manor and added, "From the look of things, this home is no longer fit to be called 'Orion's Manor,' and the household is now a divine household. Why don't your household join me at the Golden Palace until you have prepared your own place to stay? It would also make it easier for everyone to access the Golden Palace for training."

Hearing Ilse's offer for them to reside at the Golden Palace, Selene, Merida, and Maya, who were still nearby, couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise, their bodies trembling with excitement.
