58.64% The Eminence of a True Monarch of the Shadows / Chapter 155: Chapter 154

Bab 155: Chapter 154

[Third Person's PoV] 

"So, how are you feeling?" Cid asked Alpha, who was smiling proudly to herself.

"Strong," was all she answered as she slowly lifted her hand. With a simple gesture, grass started to grow around her, quickly blossoming into different flowers and creating a flower bed all around them.

She crouched down toward a rose in front of her, held the flower with care, and gave it a kiss. The rose then bloomed and shook before two green hands popped up from the ground. It walked towards Alpha and saluted, awaiting her orders.

"Did you just..." Cid began.

"Bring it to life? Yes, I did," Alpha said proudly, pushing her hair back. "I am the Fertility Goddess after all."

Cid used his Ruler's Authority to bring her into his arms and kissed her forehead. "Congratulations, but don't let it get to your head now," he teased.

Alpha playfully tapped a finger to her chin. "I don't know. As your MAIN wife, I feel like my ego has to be bigger."

Bellion gave them a look before flying away with Zeta and Delta in his hands.

"So, is it only plants that you can give life to?" Cid asked curiously.

"For now, yes. Later, when I'm more in control of my powers, I should be able to affect other things... if you know what I mean," she said, placing a hand on her stomach.

Cid looked at her, noticing her gesture. "Are you... by chance..."

Alpha sighed regretfully. "I'm not, unfortunately... but that could change whenever you please," she said, leaning on his shoulder and looking at him with pleading eyes.

"Is this something you truly want?" Cid asked seriously.

Alpha nodded, her gaze unwavering. "More than anything."

"Alright, I'll arrange it," Cid agreed, kissing the top of her head, causing Alpha to melt into his embrace.

"Can you two please go and flirt somewhere else? Some of us are trying to attain godhood here," Epsilon interrupted, glaring at them.

But her envy at Alpha potentially having a child with Cid was palpable.

One of Epsilon's main skills, Mana Rotation, allowed her to multitask and draw and purify mana simultaneously. In her heightened emotional state, she unconsciously drew in more mana and purified it.

*Boom!*

Both Alpha and Cid witnessed a light blue aura explode from Epsilon, causing the ground to cave in as she floated. Her pigtails came undone, and her light blue hair floated softly around her aura.

"Woah... So this is how it feels," Epsilon marveled.

Cid smiled, accepting the evolution. 'It was either going to be Alpha or Epsilon who evolved their cores first. Epsilon does have the most control of mana and magical abilities.'

Excitedly, Epsilon turned to Cid. "So, what are my titles?" she asked impatiently.

"You, Epsilon, surprisingly have more titles than Alpha. They are quite a lot: The Goddess of Melody and Frequencies, The Siren of Covetous Envy, One of the Seven Deadly Sins, The Lady Who Sings for Death, The Blessed of Mana, and The Melodious Consort of Death."

"Woah... They all sound so cool," Epsilon said before floating back down. She blurred into action, appearing to side-hug Cid.

"Now pamper me," she demanded with a large smile.

Cid obliged, giving her kisses and running his fingers through her hair. "Good job."

Epsilon looked smugly at Alpha. "Heh, I have more titles than you."

"You're just overcompensating," Alpha scoffed, choosing to ignore her.

Epsilon stuck her tongue out and then turned to Cid. "You mentioned that Monarchs have their own titles and things like that. Does Celeste have some of her own?"

"As I mentioned before, titles are based on experiences and understanding. Since Celeste is still a baby, she hasn't fully gained her own title yet, though her Monarch abilities are in development. But I have a feeling about what she will be a Monarch of."

They nodded in understanding, but soon felt a change in the quality of mana in the distance, unable to discern its source due to its improved quality. 

So Alpha and Epsilon turned their quizzical looks towards Cid.

"That was Zeta, and it appears she was the third person to gain a good job, which isn't much of a surprise," Cid informed them.

'Zeta is very talented in everything she does, her only problem is her demeanor. Due to mastering anything quickly she as quickly grows bored of it and becomes lazy. Thus with her talent, it's only right for her to be among the top when it comes to mana.'

"Bellion is now congratulating her by reciting her titles," Cid added.

"What are her titles?" Epsilon asked curiously.

"Zeta is the Goddess of Combat and Metal, The Beast of Voracious Gluttony, The Master of All, One of the Seven Deadly Sins, and The Feline Spouse of Death," Cid listed.

Epsilon looked proud, particularly of her own numerous titles.

Alpha then turned back to Cid with another question, "There's something I never really understood. Why is Delta Wrath and Zeta Gluttony? Shouldn't it be the other way around? From what I've seen, Delta fits Gluttony way more, and Zeta fits Wrath due to her anger about her past."

"That's because you're basing it on their personality and personal experiences. I'm basing it on their skills and abilities," Cid explained.

"Gluttony isn't just about being hungry all the time like Delta is," Cid continued. "It's about consumption. Zeta fits that role best of all. She consumes skills and knowledge like no other, making them her own. She devours her opponents' abilities, whether with weapons or in combat, and adapts them to fit her own style. That's why she is also the Goddess of Combat."

Cid paused before explaining further, "While Wrath is more than just anger. It's about madness and being uncontrollable. When Delta enters combat, you've seen how she becomes. She's driven by bloodlust, becoming more uncontrollable and therefore more dangerous. The stronger her rage and bloodlust, the more formidable she becomes."

Alpha and Epsilon had a look of understanding upon hearing Cid's explanation. 

"That's the second one now, why do they get two divinities while I only possess one?" Alpha asked, she wasn't bothered by it but she was curious… alright maybe she was bothered a bit by it. But it's understandable, Pride has become a part of her afterall. 

Cid responded calmly, "Oh, you have a developing second one, but like I said, it's based on your experiences and understanding. You don't have much experience with your second one, which is why you are only The Goddess of Fertility, while the others have more than one."

Alpha was surprised by this revelation. "What? What is it?"

"The Sun..."


Bab 156: Chapter 155

[Third Person's PoV] 

"The Sun?" Alpha asked in complete surprise.

"The Sun," Cid nodded in confirmation. "If you notice, each pair of divinities complement each other well and are linked to one another. Like Epsilon's Melody and Frequencies, both related to sound, whereas Zeta's Combat and Metal are related to, well, combat."

"How is metal related to combat?" Epsilon asked, confused.

"Metal is connected to weaponry, that's why," Cid briefly explained.

"I see, so the Sun and Fertility are related to life, right?" Alpha asked.

Cid nodded in confirmation. Not long after, they felt a sudden change in mana quality followed by the sound of an explosion. They turned to see who it was and found Eta fast asleep, surrounded by a green aura as she floated in the air.

"Did she really...?" Epsilon was shocked, unable to finish her sentence.

Alpha finished it for her, "Become a goddess while sleeping? It seems so." Even she was equally shocked.

'Eta has her own form of mana rotation; while she sleeps, she developed a technique that allows her to purify the mana inside her core. Although I call it a technique, it's more of a subconscious action,' Cid thought in amusement.

Using his Ruler's Authority, Cid gently lifted Eta from the air and brought her close to his lap, providing her with a pillow. Her lips curled into a small grin as he brushed her hair.

Alpha and Epsilon looked towards Cid, burning with curiosity, wanting to know Eta's titles.

"Let's see here... oh? These are some interesting titles she possesses: Eta, the Goddess of Wisdom and Alchemy; the Dreamer of Eternal Sloth; one of the Seven Deadly Sins; the Poisonous Sage; and the Endless Sleep That Accompanies Death."

Even in her sleep, Eta lifted her head and kissed Cid on the cheek before settling back into his lap.

"Phew, that's only 5. I still have more," Epsilon said, putting a hand to her chest and letting out a sigh of relief.

Alpha rolled her eyes and scoffed, "You only have 1 more than her; don't let it go to your head. Just because you have more titles doesn't make you better."

Epsilon scoffed, pushing her hair back with her hand, "If you're jealous, just say so; no need to be so fussy about it."

Alpha covered her eyes and sighed, 'She has become arrogant since becoming a goddess. I'll have to put her in her place later.'

After a while, it was someone else's turn to become a goddess, and that person turned out to be Beta.

A silver-white aura rose from Beta's body, causing her silver hair to float. The wind picked up, tousling everyone's hair, and dark clouds began to gather in the skies.

'We don't have clouds in the Shadow Realm...' Cid thought with a smile.

When Beta landed, she ran towards Cid with her arms outstretched, "Master~"

Arriving at Cid, she sat on his other lap and leaned her head back towards him.

Cid began to pamper her, and soon all eyes were on him expectantly.

"Beta, the Goddess of the Sky and Archery; the Seductress of Unending Lust; one of the Seven Deadly Sins; the Elven Storyteller; and the Muse Enthralled by Death."

Beta started to pout, "These are good... but they aren't 'The Endless Sleep That Accompanies Death.'"

Cid kissed her cheek and reassured her, "They are perfect as they are. They are all about you, so they must be perfect."

Beta blushed bright red, "You sweet talker."

Cid then turned towards Gamma, noticing her sweating a bit as she concentrated.

After 30 minutes, they felt an aura appearing in the distance where Zeta had once been.

"If I had to guess, I'd say Delta broke through?" Alpha guessed.

Cid nodded before his eyes widened, "Oh wow, she has more than 2 Divinities..."

"WHAT!?" They all exclaimed, looking towards the distance.

They turned back to Cid, gazing at him with impatience. After all, everyone had only two; they were curious what made Delta so special that she had more than two.

Cid began reading out all of Delta's titles, "Delta, Goddess of the Hunt, the Wild, Mountainous Strength, Wolves, and Battle—"

Cid didn't finish as they all shouted, "HUHHHH!?"

They all wore looks of disbelief. Although they didn't fully understand the concept of Divinities, they knew Delta having 5 was a big deal. After all, they all only had 2, so Delta having twice as many was shocking.

"What are the rest of her titles?" Epsilon asked, already feeling uneasy.

"The Berserker of Murderous Wrath; one of the Seven Deadly Sins; the Embodiment of Sins; the Reaper of the Battlefield; the Shadow's Watchdog; the Beast That Bathes in Blood; Kin Slayer; The Prodigy; and the Wolf That Hunts with Death."

"NOOOOOO!" Epsilon shouted in devastation.

Everyone looked at her strangely.

"Why does she have more titles than me!? And why do they sound so much cooler than mine!?" Epsilon asked, with a defeated expression.

Cid rubbed her back, trying to console her, and turned towards Gamma, the only one left who hadn't transformed.

Her eyes were tightly closed, tears gathering at the corners.

Seeing this, Cid sighed and excused himself, walking up to Gamma. He sat in front of her and took her hand, causing her to open her eyes.

Her lips quivered as she lowered her head in shame, "I–" She choked up.

"Gamma… it's okay, take your time," Cid said softly as he held her hand.

"But I don't want to be left behind… Everyone always advances so much quicker than I do. I've never been that good when it comes to magic or fighting. I've had to work twice as hard just to be able to use my magic properly."

Cid continued to speak softly to her, rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb. "Gamma, you're not going to be left behind. I promise you that." He kissed the back of her hand gently. "Here, let me help you. Close your eyes," he advised.

Gamma obeyed, and Cid began controlling his mana, gently guiding it into Gamma.

He helped Gamma guide her mana, slowly purifying it. Cid only assisted slightly, allowing Gamma to purify the rest on her own.

After a few minutes, Gamma's brows began to relax, and moments later, a bluish-purple aura exploded from her.

Everyone started breathing heavily as they felt their bodies pressed towards the ground.

Cid helped Gamma control her new aura and abilities, guiding her to store it inwardly.

When they both opened their eyes, Cid smiled at her. "Congratulations, you are now officially a goddess."

Gamma leapt into his arms, wrapping hers around him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you," she repeated, kissing his cheeks over and over, which made Cid chuckle.

"Alright, alright, let me read you your titles."

Gamma sat back down, looking at him eagerly like a student awaiting test results.

"Gamma: The Goddess of Gravity and Space, The Witch of Excess Greed, One of the Seven Deadly Sins, The Untalented Hard Worker, The One Most Pampered by Death."

Gamma rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment upon hearing her last title.

Cid stood up and offered Gamma his hand. Once she took it, he turned towards everyone and smiled proudly.

"Congratulations, everyone. You have all become goddesses. You should all be proud of yourselves."

Everyone cheered and rushed towards Cid, tackling him in a hug. Zeta and Delta ran over and jumped on the pile as well, while Cid laughed in amusement.
