Drinks and good food were shared freely at the feast. As well as people being rowdy. But seeing the newly incarnated people having so much fine I couldn't say anything as I was enjoying my conversations with the heroes of the Fate Universe as well as the Earth that I was a hero in.
"So instead of becoming a hero of earth, you embraced your kingship in becoming a king in the lands of fae rather than ruling part of humanity?" Morgan seemed to chew on her words while Artoria bristled at her words while I shrugged.
"This realm is that of ' fairy'. Not exactly just the fae from your world but more of the Reverse Side of the World but this one actually links to all Earths and such in this multiverse." I tried to explain and while many people didn't understand I saw how Morgan and the other mages got what I was saying.
"Anyway, now that you guys are... Alive again if not in your home universe what do you guys plan to do?" The Flash asked as he was sharing alcohol with Achilles while they compared their feats of speed and soon struck up a friendship on that.
Many of the incarnated Servants glanced at me without saying something and I coughed. "I am the king of this realm. Actually more like this realm is literally me. But in either case, I take a very hands-off approach to ruling so if you guys plan to stick around here out of some connection to me as your contract holder that's fine and I welcome you. But on the other side, you are free to leave as you all have more than fairly repaid for your resurrection in fighting for me." I stated strongly leaving no room for misunderstanding.
My Einzbern maids who I adored very much helped bring them back to life and they paid for that honor and gift by fighting for my realm. That was the end of any debt we may have had.
Standing from a table I saw Medusa in her Rider form with her eyes covered in a veil looking directly at me and as she spoke I wanted to sigh as many of the incarnated Servants seemed to agree with her. "Go back to an Earth far in the future and where we will be hounded by the supernatural of the world and likewise hunted by the heroes when we kill those that hunt us to begin with? Staying here is the far better option."
A loud trilling rang out as the primordial goddess Tiamat who was sitting beside Hera and keeping anyone from doing anything stupid to her also chirped in with her voice translating in my head as "The mortal world is unwelcoming to gods and always has been." I couldn't deny her words as regardless if said god actually had divinity running through its veins or a god-like Superman, familiarity bred contentment and a part of the reason I retreated to my realm was how I didn't need to hide my power or nature under the veneer of being a 'DC' rated superhero.
I held up my hands as if to say 'What can you do' as I spoke. "Yup exactly what Tiamama said," I said and I saw Tiamat shudder and blush as I continued speaking while Raven who was beside me chuckled. "Anyway, my realm is literally larger than the Earth, and although it's mostly desert now." I grinned as I could feel the digested remains of the chaos lord I munched on fueling conceptual life into my dead realm as I continued to speak. "But it's turning more lush with life so if you guys want to claim little kingdoms within it, I truly couldn't care less." I offered as my realm was growing as the DC multiverse endlessly did.
"You would share rulership and split your realm under the control of many kingdoms?" Morgan asked skeptically and I snorted as I eyed her and her fairy knights.
"Morgan Le Fay, my realm is literally bigger than Earth and it's constantly expanding as the Fae Realm endlessly expands... I don't give a damn about having some neighbors, there is zero reason if we make kingdoms to invade one another for resources, as for one we could absorb dead uninhabited realms for infinite resources." I said bluntly and her face twitched at that reminder
The heroes of the DC Earth shared a look at each other and then I heard Kid Flash ask his mentor. "Uhhh why hasn't the Earth governments taken over these dead realms then?" He asked confusedly and I snorted.
"What makes you think they haven't tried?" I said sarcastically before I continued. "Yeah, the dumbasses probably tuned whatever portal they had whether it be magical or technological with their greed, and then said portal probably led to a Hell dimension of some sort," I said dryly as I thought about the Fantastic Four in Marvel who did just that.
For a few more minutes we continued the more light-hearted conversation until Scathach stood up with her magenta hair trailing behind her purple body suit-covered body as she spoke up. "And how would you suggest we earn our keep in this Fae realm then? Are there adventures to be had?" She questioned and I couldn't help but burst into laughter I pointed up at the massive dragon head mounted on my fucking wall over the fireplace.
"Yes, Scathach... You can literally go kill a dragon and loot its hoard. Hell, there is actually a massive inter-dimensional bounty on the dragon Ahzi Dahaki who has eaten several dozen realms and needs to be killed. And the bounty soul bound to be paid by many inter-dimensional lords is worth enough to make several realm lords go mad." I said bluntly and I realized I fucked up as I saw more than a few dragon hunters like Siegfried have their eyes light up to say nothing of Scathach herself and even her student Cu.
And so even as the feast continued I was basically coerced by the battle-drunk and often literally drunk servants to take them out on a hunt for Ahzi Dahaka so they could earn their keep...
And of course, when I went to bed sadly alone as Galatea and Raven were exhausted and wanted to sleep with the maids, I awoke the following day snuggled up to completely different than usual very feminine bodies that were most assuredly not in my bed to begin with that previous night. Even as I had my face buried in Raikou and Tiamat's motherly set of breasts as pillows and Raven and Galatea snuggled into my chest, I came to the most profound of realizations
Life as a Hollow in the DC Universe... Was honestly pretty Great.
