章節 712: Pamper : Problematic
Around noon the next day, Vahn was sitting atop the Manor as he overlooked the City that spread out before him. At the same time, he was also sitting on the opposite side of the roof and looking at an entirely different part of the City. He had slowly gotten used to the overlapping images in his view by trusting his other senses more than just his eyes. Just relying on his vision made it very difficult to process the overlapping views but, by relying on his ability to sense things through his domain, Vahn had gotten much better at identifying what was 'real' within his vision.
When he had first started his training, Vahn would see objects with one of his bodies but, as the visual stimuli were shared between both of his bodies, it was difficult to know exactly which version of himself was looking at the object. It was a very...disorienting experience. Fortunately, the Sub-Space orb had given him more than a month of additional time to practice controlling both of his bodies. It would likely take a much greater period of time for him to master the ability, but it was already going much faster than Vahn initially expected.
The reason for this increased speed of mastery was related to the system shop itself, as Vahn had managed to find numerous items that could help develop his mental and spiritual capabilities further. These included a variety of pills and ointments that could be ingested or applies externally. Much like the [Body Strengthening Liquid] and [Bone Strengthening Pill]s he had taken in the past, they could permanently increase his base parameters and promote his potential further. Vahn now knew that such items were very common in records that relied on Cultivation as a means to increase their strength. Young children would usually take such medicines and pills when they were very young, strengthening their foundation for martial and spiritual training in the future.
Vahn had contemplated his children walk the path of Cultivation in the future, as they were able to ingest items from the system shop, but he hadn't come to a decision just yet. Ultimately, it would be up to them what path they wished to walk and Vahn didn't want to push them in a direction he thought they should take. Thus, until they came seeking strength from him, Vahn would never force his children on such a difficult path, especially since many of the texts related to Cultivation talked about heavenly tribulations and the danger of directly going against the flow of fate. If they made any mistakes, or weren't prepared for the tribulations, even a god would be struck down and, though it wasn't likely their soul would truly be destroyed, it would undoubtedly damage their 'ego' a great deal.
Though items like the [Effigy of the Hero] would protect their physical bodies, it wouldn't do much to prevent damage sustained by the soul. Vahn would never push his children into a path that could endanger them so greatly and, as Cultivation was a foreign concept in this record, it wasn't really necessary to do so. There were plenty of ways they could increase their strength without 'tempting' fate in such an extreme manner. In fact, with the system shop, the number of ways he could help his children increase their strength were functionally infinite. Cultivation wasn't necessarily the strongest means to grow stronger and, given his marginal understanding of the Laws, Vahn knew there were likely several alternative solutions, even within the records that Cultivation was prevalent.
Thinking this, Vahn held up his palm and created invisible tendrils of energy that spread from his hand for around 20cm. This was the peculiar form of energy he could generate through his understanding of 'Petting Laws'. It was an example of how anything, even concepts if pursued to the extreme, could even change that nature of how reality works. Vahn could use this strange energy, which not even gods seemed to be able to sense easily, to bring great comfort to people, increase their parameters for a short time, and undeniably increase their affection towards him. Vahn even suspected, if he increased his understanding of 'Petting Laws' to the extreme, he might even be able to tame powerful monsters just by giving them a casual caress...
As that thought crossed his mind, another very different one appeared in his other mind as the coming 'battle' with Naaza and Lili crept into his thoughts. Vahn laughed at himself, causing his voice to carry through the surroundings as he stood up on both rooftops and made he way back inside the Manor. He had already talked to them about the 'proposition' that Syr had come up with and, somewhat against his expectations, both girls agreed to it almost instantly. Vahn could very vividly remember how crimson Naaza's face became during that particular conversation. This, combined with her happily wagging tail, gave Vahn the urge to track her down and just pet her until they were both completely satisfied.
Since he had been trying to follow through with his own intentions, even if they could be a little selfish at times, Vahn made up his mind to track down Naaza. As tomorrow was a very 'important' moment for both girls, she and Lili weren't in the Sub-Space orb today. Instead, they were lingering around the Manor and talking to all of the more mature girls, seeking advice for the coming day's 'trials'. Vahn, sensing Lili in the same room as Syr and Anubis, couldn't help but feel a shiver run up his spine as he continued toward the area where Naaza was, surprisingly, alone. She was in a small room near her lab, sitting on a sofa with her aura flickering about with a variety of different colors. It was obvious that she was nervous about tomorrow but, as there were far more 'positive' emotions in her aura, Vahn knew she would be okay.
As he approached closer to the room, Vahn didn't miss that Naaza's aura began to flare up slightly and, though he wasn't looking through the walls, he knew she had sat up and become more alert. Even so, he gently knocked on the door and waited for her permission before entering into the small study where she had been lost in thought. She smiled when he walked into the room but, seeing his other body walk in behind the first, Naaza's eyes widened. Her aura instantly exploded and a ruddy blush crept up on her cheeks like red wine spilling out into a fair white satin sheet.
Vahn raised his brows, looking at himself while looking back into his own eyes, both bodies and minds showing clear confusion until a thought crossed his mind. Patting his fists into his palms, Vahn remembered that Naaza had a tendency towards delusions at times. She was generally a very calm and stoic girl but, when it came to matters of the heart and more 'affectionate' behaviors, she got flustered very easily. Seeing both of his bodies show up, she must have been thinking something 'untoward', giving both Vahn's a powerful urge to tease her.
Making his way over to the sofa, Vahn sat down next to her while also walking off to the side to sit in one of the single-person chairs. He didn't miss the fact that, though she habitually leaned against his shoulder, Naaza also watched his counterpart move off to the side. Catching this, Vahn said, "I was up on the roof thinking and felt the urge to spend some time with you. I hope I'm not inconveniencing you, Naaza..." Shaking her head lightly, Naaza's tail began to waggle at her back as she smiled and said, "No...I like spending time with you as well, Vahn. It makes me happy knowing you were thinking about me. I was also lost in thought..." Without finishing her words, Naaza averted her eyes to the side and just rested her head against his shoulders instead of continuing.
Vahn placed his arm around Naaza's body, loosely holding her hip while using his left hand to gently stroke her head. She squinted her eyes, enjoying the contact as her tail began to tap against his back with a bit more force. When Naaza was like this, Vahn almost felt like he was being egged on so, without holding back, he asked, "You know, I had been thinking about trying something..." Naaza blinked in a slow manner while uttering a 'Hnnnn?' while bobbing her head against his palm. Seeing her getting caught up in the moment made Vahn's heart melt but, at the same time, there was an itch that began to spread across its surface. Continuing his words, he quietly whispered, "Since we have the opportunity, I wondered if you would like for me to pamper you for a bit..."
Naaza's tail answered for her as its speed slowly started to accelerate while she rubbed her droopy dog-like ears against his palm. Thinking this was the best opportunity he would get, Vahn smiled lightly and added, "Do you not mind...?" This time, he spoke with his other body so Naaza was momentarily confused as she turned her purple eyes over towards him. At the same time, Vahn began to gently rub around her neck and chin, causing Naaza to tilt her head habitually as her eyes started to dart around. She was clearly trying to make sense of what was just asked of her and, judging by the blush spreading on her face, it was apparent she had an idea of what he was proposing.
Just as the blush on her face reached a critical level, Naaza muttered a silent, "No..." that sounded more like a squeak than an actual word. Vahn just smiled in return while his nodding with his other body. Closing his eyes, Vahn focused on the connection he had with himself and, as the proximity between them was rather close, fused his two bodies into one. Even if he thought the idea was interesting, Vahn wasn't going to push Naaza into doing something she wasn't mentally prepared for. When she saw his other body vanish, Naaza clearly relaxed a great deal as a sigh of relief escaped through her peachy lips.
Vahn gently stroked her cheek, turning her face to match his and planting a simple kiss on her forehead as he said, "I would never make you do something you are unwilling to do, Naaza. I'm sorry for putting you in such an awkward position..." Following up his words, Vahn firmly embraced Naaza while stroking her long brown hair with his hand. The tension had already drained from her body and, with his additional efforts to calm her down, Naaza practically melted into his embrace as she said, "It's fine...I actually thought about it a bit...maybe...maybe next time..." Vahn moved his hand to her back, rubbing a small circle between her shoulder blades as he said, "Whenever you're ready..."
Naaza weakly nodded her head as she relaxed even more against his chest, taking in shallow breaths of his fragrance that was steadily becoming more audible. As a Chienthrope, Naaza had the same draw towards his scent as any race that relied on their olfactory senses. Vahn could still remember her sniffing his dirty laundry in the past, thinking she had been able to avoid his detection. It was a little strange back then but, now that he had experienced so much, Vahn found her actions very adorable. Thus, though his physical appearance didn't change much, Vahn slowly changed his body so that his scent became stronger...
Not really understanding the change that was occurring, Naaza found herself becoming drunk on the scent that sometimes crept its way into her dreams. She would never admit it, and only a few of the other girls knew about it, but she had a pillow that was fitted with one of Vahn's tunics. She had snitched it from the laundry hamper after passing by several times. Eventually, she gave in and hoped nobody would notice it was missing. However, as she wasn't even the first to do such a thing, the 'secret' eventually got out. Now, she would sometimes wander to Preasia's room and nap alongside the fluffy Sheep Person as they both hugged their respective Vahn-shaped pillows. Being able to smell his aroma, while dreaming about the boy that had made his way into her heart, was a very 'fulfilling' way to spend an afternoon...
With nothing else planned for the early half of the afternoon, Vahn spent his time pampering Naaza until she ended up laying on his lap with her tail lazily thumping against the soft cushions of the sofa. She had a silly smile on her face that made Vahn feel very refreshed as he lightly pinched her thin droopy ears and traced the index finger of his left hand along their edges. Naaza wiggled her body in a happy manner while holding her hands toward her chest, balling them up into fists as she enjoyed the comfortable and pleasant feeling. Unfortunately, Chienthropes didn't have any characteristic sound they made when they were happy, not that it made Naaza's 'Nnn' sounds and quiet moans any less pleasing to the ears.
Though he had been tempted to stroke the rest of her body, especially after she had become very receptive to his touch, Vahn kept their moment together relatively tame. Tomorrow would be a big day for Naaza and he didn't want to do anything that would increase her stress levels before the event took place. Hopefully, she would be able to use the memories of moments like this to keep her calm when the time came. As for Lili, Vahn wasn't actually that worried about her since she had a very strong mentality. It would have been an issue if he had gotten together with her in the past but, after all the physical and emotional growth Lili had experienced, Vahn was confident she would be okay. In fact, he was more worried about himself since Lili was the type that could get carried away if you didn't keep her in check...
Just as he was thinking about his adorable little Pallum protege, Vahn heard the sound of a ping ring through his mind as Lili's voice asked, ("Vahn, where are you right now?") Not wanting to lie, Vahn calmly responded, ("I felt like pampering Naaza, so we're inside her study. Right now, I'm tickling her chin while she is squirming around in a very adorable manner...") For the first time, Vahn felt a ping enter into his mind that was followed by several seconds of silence. It was obvious that Lili had connected to his mind, but it was almost like she couldn't even form any words for a while. When she did manage to 'say' something, however, it was very loud, ("Ah, that isn't fair at all! Naaza, how could you betray me like thisssss...!?")
Vahn produced a small smile as he asked, ("Did you need me for something, Lili? And, don't worry, I can pamper you plenty later...") This time, without any delay at all, Lili said, ("Yes, please!") before following it up with the reason behind her initial message, ("Loki wanted to talk to you. She is currently waiting in your private study. It seemed kind of serious...") Hearing Lili's words, Vahn tilted his head slightly as he thought about reasons why Loki would be searching for him. It could be a matter related to the School, the investigation into Rufina's past, or one of the ongoing conflicts between the Alliance and the various countries. However, in these cases, Loki wouldn't really send such a vague message to be delivered to him. It had to be something 'troublesome' and, the only thing that came to Vahn's mind when thinking about such matters were two things...
Hoping it wasn't the thing he was most concerned about, Vahn tilted Naaza's face towards him and gave her a quick peck on the lips before saying, "I have to go take care of something. I'll see you at dinner, Naaza..." It took her a few seconds to regain her senses, but Naaza eventually nodded her head as she sat back up. There was a somewhat 'sad' look in her eyes but Naaza still managed to produce a smile as she said, "Go. I already took up a lot of your time. Thanks for treating me so well, Vahn..." In total, their little affection session had lasted for nearly two hours, a very long period of time compared to normal. Naaza almost felt like she had entered into Preasia's dreamscape and lost track of time because of how pleasant and 'fluffy' she felt before it came to an end.
Seeing the melancholic look on Naaza's face, Vahn's expression softened as he pulled her tightly into his embrace. Tracing his fingers through her silky brown hair, which had become rich and full compared to the past, Vahn softly whispered, "You're beautiful when you smile, Naaza...but don't force yourself, okay? It makes me happy to see you happy, just like it breaks my heart to see you saddened, even if just a little...if you want to spend more time with me, you just have to let me know. I do get busy, but that doesn't mean I can't make time for the people I care about...after all..." Pulling away from Naaza slightly, so that she could look up at him, Vahn matched her gaze and finished his previous statement, saying, "I love you..." Once again, Vahn gave Naaza a kiss, this time far more passionate than the rather tame pecks previously prescribed.
Leaving behind a much happier Naaza, who actually followed him all the way to the door, Vahn made his way to his private study to find out what Loki wanted to talk about. The only two things that came to mind, each more troublesome than the next, were the Nobles and Freya. The former wasn't too difficult to deal with, but they were incredibly persistent and conniving individuals with too much wealth to throw around. As for the latter, she was inarguably more difficult to deal with. Vahn hadn't seen him yet, but he knew that Freya had already given birth to a son several weeks prior. She was smart enough to not immediately come seeking a second child, but Vahn suspected Freya had reached the end of her patience and had likely gone to Loki after her tolerance broke down.
As it was his own study, Vahn entered inside without knocking and, seeing the serious look on Loki's face, immediately knew he had hit a wall this time around. Loki gave him a small nod, saying, "It seems you already have an idea about what I wanted to talk about. Tell me honestly, Vahn...if you're against this, all of us will support your decision." Vahn shook his head lightly, making his way over to Loki's side to join her on the sofa before explaining, "No, this is something I've put a lot of thought into. Also, I have a theory about how the Vanir develop during the pregnancy and this is likely the best method to confirm my speculation. Besides..." Thinking till here, Vahn released a sigh while hugging Loki's petite body firmly as he said, "I can't deny that I'm more than a little interested in Freya's body, even if her character is terrible. I also believe that, if my speculation proves correct, we can avoid an existence like Lenneth..."
Loki squeezed his hands tightly in support but couldn't help asking, "So, what is this theory that you've formed? You aren't the type to simply make unfounded claims when it comes to such serious topics..." Vahn, resting his cheek against Loki's ponytail, squeezed her fingers in turn and explained, "The Vanir are like the amalgamation of the unique form of energy in my body and the Divinity contained in the body of a goddess. Not only is their potential much higher than normal, but their personalities and characteristics are all very unique. I believe that that intention of the parents actually had a great deal of influence on the pseudo-divinity inherited by the Vanir, as well as their base personality and character..."
Hearing this, Loki was very surprised by the revelation and quickly began wracking her brain to try and make sense of what Vahn had just explained. She had actually noticed that Erika seemed to be almost 'exactly' like what she had wanted her daughter to be like. Not only was she very intelligent, but she was also very willful with a very cute side to her. Most importantly, however, was the fact that all of Erika's capabilities, including those of her Guardian and Artifact, were suited for the role Loki had intended for her. She was also very supportive of Vahn, the thing Loki had most desired at the time, other than the hope that her daughter would actually be 'free' from expectations and able to forge her own path. Yes, it was a bit contradictory, but Erika embodied all these hopes and desires to a T, something Loki felt very grateful for without paying too much attention to 'why' Erika was like that...
Realizing the implication behind Vahn's words, Loki asked, "So, you're saying that the Vanir are highly impressionable when they are being formed, taking on the characteristics desired by their parents...?" If this was true, it meant the Vanir could truly be very powerful existences in the world, all because their parents wanted them to be. There were undoubtedly variables beyond their control, but the potential implciations were both awe-inspiring and terrifying at the same time. After all, if they desired it enough, it might even be able to have the Vanir develop unique traits that could 'break' the balance of power within the world...
Vahn nodded his head, releasing a small sigh through his nose as he explained, "It isn't quite that simple, and I'm certain there are things that I've overlooked, but my speculation matches what I've observed from Ina's, Vana's, and Erika's development. Things simply match up too well to be coincidental and, after this matter with Freya is resolved, we will know for certain if my speculation is correct. Freya...is very similar to Anubis, at least in regards to how they both changed greatly after observing my soul. I believe I can convince her to harbor a specific intent during the pregnancy and, if I emphasize my own intent, I'm almost positive things will develop according to expectations. This way, I can avoid having a repeat of Lenneth and our child will be able to live without such a heavy burden..."
Loki nodded but also frowned at the same time, saying, "I think you might underestimate Freya's 'devotion', Vahn. There is a good chance your speculation will prove correct, but I fear that her influence still might have adverse effects on the child. With how much discourse there will be in the Freya Familia in the future, it is almost guaranteed to become an issue..." Vahn didn't disagree with Loki, as he had similar thoughts, but confidently stated, "You're right, but I believe we can help guide them along the correct path. Since the Vanir will grow and develop within the Hearth Manor, I'm confident everyone will be a positive influence on their development...after all, I'm surrounded by so many amazing women. There is also Ina, Vana, and Erika to look after them and set a good example..."
Hearing Vahn's comforting words, Loki felt part of her 'wanting' to agree with him. However, a much larger part of her said things wouldn't go that smoothly, not at all. Thus, while showing her support for Vahn's decision, Loki already started to think about countermeasures to prevent the worst-case scenario from occurring...

(A/N: I know a lot of people dislike Freya, myself included, but you have to remember the context of the story. Also, there is no such thing as an irredeemable god and, though Freya had done some terrible things, she can't be judged by the same standards as a human. Also, also, the Vanir born between Vahn and Freya is innocent and, though there may be some issues in their development, these are the things that help Vahn grow and develop as a person. There might not be my love between Vahn and Freya, though Freya might disagree with that, but that doesn't mean he won't care deeply for his children. Anyways, look forward to some father/father bonding between Vahn and Ottar in the future (UwU)~!)

章節 713: Conviction
After talking about the nature of the Vanir for a short while, Loki eventually asked, "So, when do you want to take care of this? You still have almost two weeks until you were supposed to be able to perform the 'ceremony'. Also, do you intend to actually lay with Freya, or are you going to treat it more like a medical procedure...?" There was a very big difference between the two, for a variety of reasons. If Vahn slept with Freya, which is what she would undoubtedly insist on, it meant he would have the lay with one of the most beautiful and 'prolific' goddesses with a Divinity relaxed to sexual pleasure. Though it wasn't likely to have much of an effect on him, it would still have some small effect on Vahn's mind, at least for a short while after the fact.
At the same time, a proper union where both parties indulged in their emotions, was far more natural and it would, in essence, ensure that the child was at least born through a mutual union between man and woman. If Vahn chose the second option, insemination through the introduction of semen with a tube, it would almost be 'cruel' to the child that is produced. After all, it would still be Vahn's child and, given his nature, it would potentially influence him for a much longer period of time than just sleeping with Freya. He would have to bear a strange form of guilt that would be present every time he interacted with the Vanir, potentially influencing them negatively since they were often very perceptive.
Vahn knew what Loki was getting at, which was why he previously mentioned he was interested in Freya's body. She really was a beautiful woman and, with the unique qualities of his body, Vahn was confident he would actually be able to come out ahead in the end. Freya would also be taking a vow to now sleep around until their child had fully matured so, knowing himself well, Vahn knew he would have eventually given in to Freya's insistence. Since he had already decided to be more proactive, Vahn chose to trust in his intuition as he said, "Any child I sire, I want them to be produced in the normal way. Though I'm sure Freya will be 'difficult' to deal with, I'm confident in myself..."
Remembering some of her most recent experiences with Vahn, Loki couldn't resist the urge to chuckle lightly as she sent a silent prayer towards her fellow goddess. If Vahn got serious about things, even someone like Freya might not be his match. She might have unlimited stamina during sex, but the influence of Vahn's [Hands of Nirvana] and [Grooming] were two things that defied logic at times. Even Syr, possessing a pseudo Divinity related to sex, couldn't actually keep up with Vahn for very long if he truly got serious. Though she wasn't nearly as 'powerful' as Freya, Vahn would also be able to act with fewer inhibitions with a goddess compared to how he would treat a mortal woman, even if Syr was a demigoddess...
Realizing that Vahn might actually 'win' against Freya, Loki couldn't help but feel intrigued by the prospect. In fact, she actually wanted to be there to witness such an achievement personally and, considering the position she was in, Loki knew she had that option. Since there was no way to prevent Freya's charm from activating naturally, regardless of any vow they had her take, Loki could easily justify it by saying she wanted to make sure Vahn wasn't influenced greatly by Freya in a way that could endanger the Alliance. It wouldn't even be the first time she had watched Freya have sex with someone, so there wasn't much wiggle room for the 'troublesome' goddess to refuse.
Feeling strangely excited about the prospect, Loki cursed at herself since she could also rationalize that she 'shouldn't' be okay with such things. Though she and Vahn weren't married, Loki still considered him her important life partner, so much so that she would rather cut off her left hand than betray the vow she made in the past. Freya wasn't someone she was comfortable with Vahn being with but, remembering she was the one that orchestrated everything, Loki couldn't help but swallow the bitter tasting emotion as she smiled and said, "I'll tell Freya that she is on the schedule. She might start lingering around the Manor in the future, so make sure you are mentally prepared to deal with her..."
Vahn nodded his head in understanding while simultaneously thinking about why Loki's aura had fluctuated so greatly for a moment. This line of thought didn't continue for long though, as Loki suddenly said, "To prevent her from trying anything, I intend to observe the event from start to finish. I don't mind if you want to 'defeat' her, but make sure you are decisive about things and consider the consequences properly. A woman like Freya, who had never lost a night battle, might not behave rationally if you manage to 'subjugate' her. She might even become much worse than Anubis..."
This time, neither one of Vahn's thought processes could fully function as his thoughts wandered to the experience he had shared with Anubis nearly two weeks prior. It was almost impossible to imagine someone being more 'extreme' than Anubis but, considering it was Loki warning him, Vahn believed there was some truth to the matter. After all, Freya was the type of woman that 'broke' people while trying to help them reach their full potential. If she truly suffered a defeat in a category she was 'peerless' at, the impact might completely alter her personality and how the acted around him. Just imagining a 'loyal' and 'devoted' Freya that waited upon him made Vahn feel a sinking feeling in his stomach. Yes, she was a very beautiful woman, but the image of a love-crazed Freya was more than a little unnerving...
Seeing that he took her warning seriously, Loki nodded her head but added, "Still, it may be for the best. If you don't defeat her decisively, Freya is the type of woman that would eventually fall into her old habits and potentially do something troublesome. Though it isn't guaranteed, as she would be hard pressed to find someone more capable than you, it doesn't mean she wouldn't eventually try to 'make' someone more capable. If you conquer her body, mind, and heart, however, she is far less likely to go to such extremes...however, you wouldn't be able to get away from her too easily if you take that route."
Vahn tilted his head back, looking upwards at the roof while his thoughts flowed like a tumultuous river in his mind. Surprisingly, this didn't last for too long since Sis suddenly said, (*Vahn, don't forget that there are a functionally infinite number of ways you can deal with such troubles in the future. Once the tier of the record is increased, or when you link it to a higher tiered record, goddesses like Freya won't be nearly as problematic as before. Now only will the laws forcing them to follow the compulsions of their Divinity be mitigated, but her power might not even be worth mentioning in the grand scheme of things...*)
Hearing Sis's words, Vahn knew she was right but, at the same time, he also knew that it likely meant he would be with Freya for a 'very' long period of time. Even if he only spent a few years in this record before moving on, he would inevitably return in the future. His own lifespan stretched into eternity so, unless something changed that forced them apart, Vahn knew he wouldn't really be able to 'abandon' Freya. Realizing this, Vahn cemented his determination and, though it wouldn't be easy, he intended to lay the foundation for 'changing' Freya for the better.
It might not happen any time soon, but when the restriction on the record was removed, Vahn was certain her personality could be developed in a positive direction. After all, Freya wasn't truly evil and, like other gods, simply gave in to the compulsions of her Divinity. She might have enjoyed it more than some, which could make her seem cruel and heartless, but Freya had also lived for well over four-hundred million years before descending to the mortal world. Compared to what she had given of herself to the record, the impact she had on the mortal world was inconsequential by comparison. He actually had the ability to make her treat people better in the future, so Vahn decided he would do just that...
Sensing the change in Vahn, Loki tilted her head up to look at him through her slightly parted eyes. She didn't know what decision he had made but, feeling the confidence practically radiating off of him, Loki couldn't help but smile slightly while turning around in his lap. With the same smile on her face, she linked her arms around his neck and mused, "I wonder what you're thinking about~?" Yet, without waiting for an answer, Loki pulled herself up to Vahn's face, sealing his lips as her tongue invaded his mouth. She noticed a peculiar 'flavor' intermixed with his saliva and, after separating their lips, asked, "You were with another girl before you came to me? My, I didn't mean to interrupt anything...kukuku~."
Vahn's eyes squinted, gazing into Loki's gem-like red eyes as he traced his hands slowly down her back until reaching the supple and plush butt she so proudly touted in the past. With a glimmer in his own eyes, Vahn smiled and said, "I'm troubled by my own popularity, but not to the extent that I'm bothered by when my hard-working trickster goddess wants my affection..." Moving his fingers in a practiced manner, Vahn began to massage Loki's butt as the latter released a hot sigh, asking, "What do you mean, 'my' goddess~?"
The moment Loki's words ended, Vahn put more pressure into his hands, firmly gripping Loki's butt through the thin fabric of her shorts as he tilted his head and stated, "After everything you've done for me, no, for us...our family...there is no way I would let you get away. Ten, a thousand, or even a million years, the amount of time doesn't matter...you are, always and forever, 'my' Loki..." Strangely, Vahn felt his heart flutter a great deal when he said those words. Even his hands gripping Loki's butt felt 'itchy' and he had a very strong urge to begin massaging them once again. If she wasn't convinced by his words, Vahn was more than willing to 'show' her how serious he was...
Loki had also started breathing audibly as her slit-like eyes had opened into a more natural shape, both ruby-like irises fixed to his face. She also felt a unique and inexplicable giddiness spreading through her body, unlike anything she had experienced in the past. Vahn's words echoed through her mind and resonated like an 'absolutely truth' that not even her Divinity could resist. There were no schemes cooking up in her head, not plots turning over in the deep recesses of her mind, just those resolute words, almost like a promise that had been carved into her very soul. Tightening her grip around his neck, Loki firmly stated a few words of her own, decisively and resolutely, "Show me..."

Several hours later, the naked Loki leaned into Vahn's chest, tracing her fingers over the lines of his muscles with a calm and natural expression on her blushing face. Her eyes, instead of forming their characteristic slits, were almost completely open as a watery haze covered their surface. The ruby-colored irises seemed to glimmer as the low light of the room reflected in their depths. She had actually made plans for the afternoon but, after he began 'proving' his claim to her, Loki felt like her arrangements didn't matter at all. It would be troublesome to reschedule things later, and the other party would likely complain, but Loki didn't care right now. The only thing that seemed to matter was the warmth of the boy she was laying against.
Reaching his hand forward, Vahn tilted Loki's head up so he could look directly into her unveiled eyes. He waited for some clarity to return to their depths before saying, "You know, you really do have beautiful eyes, Loki. They sparkle like precious gemstones...with such a deep and rich color..." As he spoke, Vahn traced his thumb under Loki's right eye, continuing his movement until his palm came to rest on her cheek. Threads of energy spread from his fingers as Vahn slowly moved his hand passed Loki's ear, combing it through her hair while leaning forward and kissing her once again.
Loki had been in a daze when she heard his words, euphoria when she felt his touch, and sublimely contented when he began kissing her again. Firmly grabbing his head in turn, Loki passionately reciprocated his kiss to the best of her ability, almost like she was 'compelled' to do so by emotions she couldn't grasp completely. Like before, the only thing that seemed to matter was this single moment, the 'man' holding her, and the kiss they were sharing. Everything else seemed so insignificant, inconsequential even...
It didn't seem like Loki planned to release him any time soon, so Vahn brought his right hand, which had previously been resting on her hip, and slowly traced it up her spine. Loki ceased kissing him almost immediately, eyes wide open as she put on an expression where she didn't know if she should be inhaling or exhaling. When he reached her neck, most of the strength had left her body and her muscles made the decision for her, causing Loki to release a long and hot sigh against Vahn's chest. In a lazy monotone, Loki muttered, "This...I don't know what this is..." while part of her mind slowly started to regain its clarity.
Tracing his left hand up her abdomen, bringing it to a stop on her right breast, Vahn leaned down and whispered into her ear, "I told you...you're mine, Loki...this is the proof..." Drawing a small circle with his thumb, outlining Loki's nipple, the petite goddess began to tremble with a powerful reverberation while 'clinging' onto his body for support. After what they had done earlier, Loki's sensitivity was almost synchronized with his intent. If Vahn wanted her to feel pleasure, her body wouldn't be able to offer any resistance at all. Instead, the feeling would be amplified greatly but, unlike the 'dazed release' she would experience in a normal situation, Loki was hyper-aware of everything that was happening.
Much like he had done with Hephaestus, though only twice, Vahn had 'melded' with Loki by intertwining his domain with her aura. For those few hours, it was almost like they had become a single entity except, unlike how he burned like a furnace alongside Hephaestus, his synchronization with Loki had the unique property of 'reversing' the influence of her Divinity. Instead of thinking about schemes and tricks, the only thing going through Loki's mind was a sense of unity and a compulsion to simply 'be'. Vahn knew this because, as their bodies and minds had melded together, he felt the same thing as she did. The only reason he was able to recover faster was because of the influence of his [Will of the Emperor], the ever-reliable skill that had always supported him in the past.
In a similar method as before, Loki felt Vahn's words playing over in her mind and, like a sacred decree carved into stone, they became permanently affixed at the very core of her being. A very affectionate glow spread through her eyes as rubbed her cheek against his chest and mused, "I guess that's that then...looks like I'm stuck with you for all eternity...ufufufufu~." Though said in a playful manner, Loki pricked her index finger as a drop of red blood, glowing with a divine light, flowed from the small incision before merging with the powerful energy that had started to invade the room. Several chains, containing powerful binding laws, latched onto Loki's body as the Eternal Vow she swore in her heart took effect...she didn't vocalize it, but Loki swore to the powers beyond Heaven that she would walk at Vahn's side throughout all of eternity, so long as he wanted her at his side...
Vahn was shocked when he saw the chains emerge so suddenly and, though he was firm in his conviction, he couldn't help but feel he had wronged Loki somehow. It felt like he had manipulated her to do something she would have never done under normal circumstances. However, before he said anything, Loki brought her hands to the sides of his face and resolutely stated, "This is my conviction...I've imprinted your words on my very soul, Vahn. From now on, unless you set me aside, I 'am' your's...now and forever..." He had said the words in full seriousness previously but, hearing Loki repeat them back to him, Vahn couldn't help but swallow hard while nodding his head.
Soon after, the worries he had slowly started to fade away as he continued looking into her resolute eyes and, by the time several long seconds had passed, Vahn felt pride, accomplishment, and, more than anything else, love for the goddess who had just made an Eternal Vow on his behalf. It was already late, and others within the residence would undoubtedly wonder what had been going on inside the room, but Vahn felt like it would be impossible to simply leave things on such a note. Thus, though they had already been at it for several hours previously, Vahn and Loki began to consummate their promise to each other...this time with more feelings for each other than either previously thought possible...

As the 'aura' emitted by the world when an Eternal Vow was made had a very strong impression, every goddess within the Manor, and all the girls who had witnessed Hephaestus' vow during the wedding, had been very shocked by the sudden condensation of energy. Hestia, Hephaestus, and Anubis all turned toward the direction of Vahn's study as Hestia silently muttered, "That Loki...?" Having known Loki for a very long time, and spending eons as arch-rivals, Hestia couldn't believe that she would actually make an Eternal Vow so suddenly. However, now that it had happened, she began to smile radiantly as a slight aura erupted from her pristine blue irises. Now, three goddesses had made Eternal Vows to Vahn and Hestia began to feel like their family had become much stronger as a result...
Anubis, being the only goddess closely associated with Vahn who had yet to make an Eternal Vow, began to seriously consider the matter. Unfortunately, her previous vow conflicted with her ability to do so and, unless she returned to Heaven by means beyond her own, she would never be able to show the same level of dedication as the other goddesses. Realizing this, Anubis brought her hands up like she was about to pray, firmly resolving to serve her Master to the best of her abilities. When she was done, Anubis made her way into the underground section of the Manor and followed the long tunnel connecting to the Manor Loki had constructed to the North. It was rarely used but, after finding out some of its secrets, Anubis had been making preparations of her own. She eventually reached a corridor that seemed to extend deeper into the labyrinthine underground structure. Pressing a panel on the wall, Anubis waited for the mechanism to reveal the secret room beyond, furnished with a large bed and a variety of useful tools...
Hephaestus hadn't been that surprised by Loki making an Eternal Vow, as she had actually expected it to happen even earlier. She was, however, curious about the terms of the vow itself and planned to inquire about it later. For now, she gathered up the girls in the Manor and they began to discuss the matter amongst themselves. When some of the girls expressed their own intentions of making an Eternal Vow with Vahn, Hephaestus couldn't help but laugh as she lightly reprimanded them. Mortals making an Eternal Vow were arguably more dangerous than gods, as it would follow them through their future incarnations. Vahn had already talked to them about the prospect of immortality so, if the girls wanted to make Eternal Vows, Hephaestus laid out the requirement that they would need to reach that stage first...
(A/N: For those that have forgotten, Hestia made an Eternal Vow dedicating her everything to Vahn. Hephaestus made an Eternal Vow swearing that Vahn will be the last man she ever loves. Loki made an Eternal Vow swearing she will stand by Vahn's side until he no longer wants her there. Heavy stuff, when you consider the youngest among them is around 420kk years old. Godhand is quite fearsome (UwU). Also, next series of chapters is going to be erotica with VahnxLilixNaaza. Since I usually write such content at the beginning of a writing session, I'll be ending my day here early. In exchange, I'll be releasing a few chapters of Fenrir's Journey if you want to check it out (UwU)~!)
(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'RIP Freya...?','Dual Cultivation is Dangerous (o,...,o)','Anubis' Determination o_o')
