Chapter 84
He already had plans, as the path to divinity was crucial for his future ideas and strategies.
When the village returned to its former state, KE diminished his power until it vanished, then turned to Suma, Makio, and Hinaysuru, "Let's head back, let's go home. I want to take a bath."
The mention of bathing lit up all the girls' eyes, and they hurried home.
**Half an hour later**
"Ahhh," KE lowered himself into the warm water and relaxed. Raizel, Tetsuya, M-21, Raven, Takeo, Regis, and Tao were also there, unwinding.
Takeo, looking relieved, said, "I never thought Japan had such places. Why didn't you tell me about this, Tao?"
"Do you think I don't want to relax? But because of your sister Aris, who made me work day and night just to protect you and teach you, and now you're bragging in front of me and complaining," Tao's complaining words made Takeo blush, but they were effective.
Takeo submerged his head in the water to hide a bit of his embarrassment, which made everyone smile.
"KE, let's play," Raizel brought out chess to play again. "This time, I want to win and beat you."
KE smiled fiercely at Raizel, "Then let's play. I'll show you why they call me the god of chess."
Tetsuya sat on the side, watching them play, feeling that this moment of peace was very beautiful. For the first time, he was relaxing without worrying or thinking about anything.
Regis watched KE and Raizel play chess, never imagining that the strongest beings on this planet could seem so ordinary in their nature and actions.
"Right, Raizel, explain your fight with Muzaka. This man is still alive," Raizel's eyes widened slightly, but he regained his composure.
Everyone stopped playing and joking to focus on Raizel. Only Tetsuya understood what was happening, but everyone here knew of the legendary figure Muzaka, ruler of the werewolves.
As Raizel pondered his choice of words, he suddenly remembered Muzaka's daughter, Ashleen, who followed him like a little sister. He sighed deeply, "KE, a lot has happened, but all I can summarize is that it was because of Ashleen's death, Muzaka's daughter."
KE nodded in understanding, then suddenly looked at Raizel, "Are you saying all this happened because of Ashleen's death?" Raizel nodded back, feeling a bit sad, but centuries had already passed.
"Then, tell me a little about Ashleen. I want to get to know her," KE intended to revive the girl to stop Muzaka, who was controlled by his rage and anger, and return him to his former position as the ruler of the werewolves.
"This girl followed me just like Raskreia wherever I went. They were all like my little sisters. I taught them hunting, art, and writing, and read books to them," KE looked at Raizel in shock, not expecting him to have the ability to raise children.
"Muzaka and Eldrin (Lord of the Nobles) had a lot of work and couldn't teach their daughters," as Raizel spoke and remembered those beautiful memories, Regis was surprised that the ruler of the nobles, Raskreia, was raised by Raizel.
"My other job besides teaching them was protecting them as their personal guard," KE nodded, understanding that this was obvious since Raizel at that time didn't have many duties, so they made him their guardian and teacher simultaneously.
This approach strengthened the relationship between the two races and even led to their alliance. While KE analyzed, Raizel continued, "I taught everything to Ashleen and Raskreia. They became very strong, both of them as powerful as the current Seira."
It was clear their rapid development was due to Raizel's sufficient experience in making anyone strong quickly.
"However, things didn't stay the same when Maduke, one of Muzaka's chief ministers, rebelled," Raizel's voice and gaze filled with hatred towards Maduke because he was the cause of one of the greatest pains in his life - Ashleen's failure to be protected and his failure as her guardian.
"Because of him, many of the Nobles rebelled as they didn't want to protect humans who they believed didn't deserve it," KE understood the situation and couldn't do anything. I mean, Roctis and Ignes rebelled because they didn't want to protect humans either.
They had a lot of work, whether it was the Nobles or the werewolves who rebelled simply because they didn't want to protect humans.
Many of their families were killed by ancient magical beasts.
The ancient magical beasts were dragons and animals whose power was comparable to the Nobles and werewolves. There were many wars among them.
The death of Ashleen's mother and many of their families was due to the dragon king's anger over the Nobles and werewolves killing his race.
All of this was essentially because humans were simply food for some ancient magical beasts. So, when KE quickly went to Area Zero, he sealed all the wisdom of animals that began to evolve, fearing they might affect humans.
After Ashleen's death, Muzaka was consumed by rage and madness. Adding fuel to the fire, Maduke, who betrayed him, detailed how she was killed by him.
The war started, and Raizel fought against Muzaka out of necessity to restore peace.
Raizel won and then went into a slumber for 693 years, while Muzaka also fell into a deep sleep at the moment he was defeated by Raizel.
Silence enveloped the room as the story unfolded, leaving everyone in shock and awe, even KE was surprised by the events that had transpired during that time.
They had not imagined that all these problems occurred because of Maduke's rebellion driven by his desire for the throne.
KE shook his head, recognizing that the depths to which individuals can degrade themselves are vast, but this person was truly in a league of their own.
Once KE left the changing room and they had eaten, he went to his room.
"Kanae, my dear, I've missed you," KE embraced Kanae's waist and kissed her, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. KE smirked playfully, "Why do you look troubled when you've seen everything already?"
"K- KE, you... I can't do it," Kanae froze, her expression confused. When she saw that, she touched his face with her hands and kissed him, "I can't bear it alone, KE, it hurts."
Her words were entirely accurate. Even Gaya and Alaya couldn't endure it without their divine-level healing speed, let alone Kanae, who could only handle six rounds.
She was in a lot of pain, and all the problems stemmed from KE because he was physically very strong.
KE fell silent, listening to Kanae's complaints. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry but knew something had to be done.
KE looked at the door, aware there were eavesdroppers listening to everything, but he hadn't acted yet. Since they were here, then...
Click!
As soon as KE opened the door, the six girls fell to the ground. "This hurts a lot," cried Suma, her eyes tearing up as she rubbed her head, while Hinatsuru, Makio, Mitsuri, Seira, and Emilia remained quiet.
KE stood in front of them, closing the door firmly. "So, what are you doing here? Why are you eavesdropping on us?"
The five girls blushed upon hearing KE, while Kanae came over, trying not to laugh. "Ladies, why are you here? Could it be you're…" Kanae's gaze filled with mischief, making the five wish for a hole to hide in from embarrassment.
Seira tried to find an excuse. Then, her eyes lit up as she remembered why she wanted this situation. "Ahem, Sensei, we are here..." She forgot what she wanted to say, but KE looked at her deeply and smiled.
He picked up the girls, including Kanae, and tossed them onto the bed. "Hahaha, it doesn't matter. Since you're all here, today I'll make you soar to heaven." He didn't know why, but after 13 years of slumber, his desire was incredibly high.
However, he wasn't a creature of pure lust without thought. As long as he knew the girl or even knew who she was, he didn't mind starting. He didn't believe in love at first sight because, for him, love was about time. As long as the girls were with him for a hundred years or even a thousand, they would all love each other until death did them part.
Also, he had no intention of controlling his desires—why should he, when he had wives?
And most importantly, by doing so, he could make his wives much stronger.
After a while, cries and cheers broke out, even with the three Hinatsuru sisters, Seira, Emilia, and Mitsuri, who had recently found a partner. They couldn't endure ten rounds each, forcing KE to call on Gaya and Alaya and bring everyone into the dimensional cube.
For ten consecutive days, KE sparred against Gaya and Alaya, constantly pushing his limits. Even Kanae, the Hinatsuru sisters, Seira, Mitsuri, and Emilia, when they recovered and joined the side of the two goddesses, couldn't make much of an impact.
