章節 2295: Return
As their stay in the Actualized World came to an end, space and time began to distort around Vahn and Sandora. The dimensions of the room they occupied increased exponentially as more than a thousand beings of various shapes and sizes manifested into existence.
Among the incredibly diverse group, a 96cm tall man with a bushy white mustache and golden hair reminiscent of an afro exclaimed, "Fascinating! To think there were planes of existence beyond our own! I can't wait to uncover the secrets of this Little Garden~!"
Reacting to the pointy-eared man's words, Vahn replied, "Just be careful. The people here can be even more opportunistic than the Summoners of the Council."
Squinting his eyes in response to Vahn's words, the schnauzer-like man, better known as Professor Heimerdinger, remarked, "Worry not, Your Majesty. If this world is as you reported, I'm certain we'll be able to thrive. I can hardly wait to get to work~!"
Nodding his head, Vahn was about to mention introducing Heimerdinger to Da Vinci or Bulma before he was interrupted by a young woman with fur-covered ears, curved horns, a lion-like tail, and somewhat unkempt, raven-black hair that extended to the small of her back.
"Is this really Master Vahn's and Lady Sandora's home? The amount of spiritual energy here is incredible..."
Agreeing with the chimeric beauty, an attractive woman with maroon-red hair, golden eyes, ears comparable to a fennec fox, taloned feet, and a wing-like mantle remarked, "It would need to be if we're to rebuild our people..."
Adding to the exotic-looking woman's words, a shirtless man with red and white hair reminiscent of a cockscomb wrapped his arms around her, teasing, "Speaking of which...I think it's about time you accepted my marriage proposal..."
Though she elbowed the man in his gut, a smile developed across the face of the maroon-haired woman as she said, "I told you not to act all lovey-dovey in front of the Emperor..."
Coming to the bird-like man's aid, Vahn casually replied, "There is no shame in displaying one's love..." before planting a kiss on the fiery-haired dragoness cradled in his arms.
Despite the attention of everyone in the spacious room shifting toward them, Vahn and Sandora continued kissing for several seconds before he separated from her lips. Afterward, he shifted his attention towards the crowd and said, "As I said before, you're free to make your own decisions from this moment onward. Those of you that wish to continue supporting or serving the Aldrnari Empire can accompany me back to the East. If you'd like to try setting out on your own, the only thing I ask is that you remember the tenets established by the Sage Dragon Emperor's Decree. As long as you remain true to our cause, I can revive you as many times as necessary."
Without attempting to break free from Vahn's princess carry, Sandora added, "Those of you who aren't a part of the Vastaya, please consider joining my Salamandra Community. We're ultimately an extension of the Aldrnari Empire, but our political situation is tumultuous compared to Vahn's court. I could really use some help getting things in order..."
Though she was tempted to just entrust everything to Vahn, Sandora hadn't given up on her desire to stand beside him. She now knew it was impossible to close the distance in their respective power levels, but she could at least alleviate some of his burdens by governing the North reliably.
In response to Sandora's words, an enigmatic figure with golden horns, nebulous purple hair, and a body that resembled the night sky answered, "Allow me to be of assistance, young one. I promised the Sage Dragon Emperor that I would act as a Guardian of the Tenets in exchange for my freedom. If there are enemies who would oppose your rule, allow me to deal with them."
Answering in place of Sandora, Vahn stated, "If that is your decision, Aurelion, I will not stop you. However, now that we've left the Plane of Runterra Prime behind, you are free to act as you please."
Having been bested by Vahn in single combat, Aurelion, full name Aurelion Sol, maintained a neutral expression as he replied in a remarkably deep voice, "I gave you my word. So long as you continue along your current path, I will continue to support and protect all those who obey the Tenets."
Unsurprised by Aurelion's response, Vahn just nodded his head before directing his gaze to the other nebulous entities that stood out even among the remarkably diverse group. They were the various Aspects of Targon Prime, the colloquial name given to the Gods that presided over various Laws.
"I offer you the same opportunity. Now that we've departed the Actualized World, you are free to act as you please. You no longer have to obey me unless you choose to."
Answering before the others could speak up, a remarkably beautiful woman with silvery-white hair and six angelic wings replied, "You are the one who restored balance to our fractured world. We will continue to follow you until the end of all things."
Though he would normally smile wryly in response to such a statement, Vahn just supplied a series of nods as he listened to each of the Aspects affirm their loyalty. The only exception was a youthful-looking girl with inordinately long hair that transitioned from bright orange to nebulous purple as it flowed behind her in defiance of gravity. When it was her 'turn' to speak up, she said, "I'm gonna go exploring." before asking, "Is that okay~?"
Nodding his head in approval, Vahn said, "Of course. Just try not to cause too much trouble, okay? Also, keep in mind that your powers are not as omnipotent here as they were back in the Actualized World. My Familia Crest affords you a certain amount of impunity, but there are beings in this world that can destroy entire metaversal structures with a wave of their hand."
Ignoring Vahn's warning, the youthful-looking Aspect waved towards a boyish man with golden blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and pale blue markings on his cheekbones, exclaiming, "Ezreal~! Let's go exploring together~!"
Though he was fully intent on exploring the Little Garden, the golden-haired man winced when he heard the diminutive Aspect's words.
Scratching the back of his head, Ezreal replied, "I appreciate the invitation, Zoe, but I already-"
Before Ezreal could finish speaking, the petite Aspect dropped through a circular-shaped portal before reappearing behind him, musing, "I won't let you go back on your promise." before they both disappeared. Vahn could have interfered to prevent the abduction, but he knew that Ezreal had dug himself into his current predicament.
Much like himself.
Though he held back a bit in the beginning, Vahn had underestimated how 'liberal' Sandora had become after their marriage. She apparently felt guilty about 'holding him back' during their stay in the Actualized World of Ni No Kuni, so she ended up 'conspiring' against him a bit when it came to the various women he encountered during their journey.
In the process of brokering peace between the various nations and assisting the foundation of an organization known as the League of Legends, Vahn allowed his curiosity and lack of inhibitions to get the better of him. By the time he had become the God-Emperor of Runeterra, he had slept with a total of twenty-nine different women, the vast majority belonging to the Vastaya, a chimeric race comprising nearly seventy percent of the people he brought back with him.
While most of Vahn's partners had been members of the nearly extinct Vastaya, a race he promised to help rebuild, his other conquests included the various Aspects and a handful few Yordles. He was a little reluctant at first, but, as was often the case, Vahn's sentiments and curiosity got the better of him. His ability to transform into virtually any race, and the fact he had initially based himself out of Bandle City, the homeland of the Yordles, worked against him.
Shifting his attention to the diverse group of women than had succumbed to his charms, three of which were Yordles, Vahn's expression softened as he stated, "This is your last chance...if you refuse to set out on your own, I might never let you go..."
Though a few of them looked towards each other as if to confirm whether or not they were willing to stay, the majority of the group appeared resolute. This included a 96cm tall woman with blue fur, long pointy ears, an adorable snaggletooth, and pale white hair fastened into pigtails.
"I can't speak for the others but I intend to follow you until the end. You showed me what it meant to be a true hero and prevented multiple wars. Even if you were to push me away, I would continue following after you for as long as my feet will carry me..."
Shouldering a massive hammer that was more than twice her size, the resolute Yordle made it clear she wasn't going to back down. Before encountering Vahn, she had spent nearly a thousand years searching for a hero that ultimately turned out to be her. When Vahn initially explained the situation to her, she refused to believe him. However, after traveling back in time and helping him to save the world, there were no longer doubts in Poppy's mind. More importantly, Vahn had also been able to wield the Hammer of Orlon, so she vowed to follow him for as long as the hammer found them to be worthy.
Though none of them actually intended to leave Vahn, those that were feeling a little apprehensive about becoming a member of a massive harem felt more at ease when they heard Poppy's words. Vahn had either saved or changed their lives for the better, so, even if it was just for a short while longer, they wanted to continue following, supporting, and being loved by him...
...

After getting the majority of the Vastaya situated in his personal Little Garden, Vahn compressed a few weeks into a few hours so that everyone could be brought up to speed on the situation in the Divine Realm. It was no longer as necessary as before, but he also wanted to give them a bit of time to adapt to the Laws of the Little Garden. This was especially important for the Aspects, as, back in their world, they had near-absolute power over the Laws they represented.
While Vahn's backing and Authority could make up for what the Aspects had lost, they would still need to 'prove' themselves in order to acquire the status of Gods within the Little Garden. Without it, they risked being foddered and one-sidedly oppressed by anyone in the 4-Digit Gates or lower. Thus, while they would ultimately belong to the Aldrnari Empire, Vahn had Pantheon, the Aspect of War, and Urza, the Aspect of Identity, established Communities of their own. The former would be located in the South, aiding in the conquest of the Greek and Norse Pantheons, while Vahn planned for the latter to reside in the West.
Urza, better known as the Mask Mother, had the unique ability to both assign and remove identities from people. While most being would lose their power upon entering the West Side, the Domain of Identity superseded nearly every other Law in existence. Its influence was also inviolable, so, as long as she coordinated with Da Vinci, Vahn was confident that Urza could 'rewrite' the Laws within the West. She had a strange personality, but Urza was one of the first three Aspects within her world, a timeless entity that governed fate itself.
Since Urza could literally create her own supports, the only 'people' Vahn sent with her were Bard and Tyari, the Aspects of Journey and Travel. He was tempted to send Kindred, the Aspect of Death, but the dualistic entity had become rather attached to him after he survived their hunt and taught them the meaning of life. Lamb, in particular, was one of Vahn's earliest 'conquests' during his stay in the Actualized World of Runeterra...

(A/N: I have been bedridden for nearly nine days. I'd like to say I'm feeling better, but I can't even sit up for a few minutes before I start coughing violently. I'm doing what I can to recover, but it's taking a lot longer than I expected.)
章節 2296: Zeal
As per usual, one of the first things Vahn did upon returning from an Actualized World was inform the Council of Wives about his actions.
Since it hadn't been that long since Vahn's last stint within an Actualized World, the girls couldn't help feeling a little exasperated. They understood his reasons, but it was a little painful knowing he was spending years at a time away from home.
Though none of the girls outright complained about his actions, it was impossible for them to keep their emotions hidden from Vahn. It didn't help that he had returned with several children.
Fortunately, not that it did much to put the girls' concerns at ease, Vahn had already decided that Runeterra would be the last Actualized World he personally visited. He would make exceptions for those that redeemed their 'points' to spend time with him, but his main focus would be conquering the Divine Realm.
When Vahn had first descended into the Actualized World of Runeterra, he only planned to stay for around four years. Instead, he jumped around through time and manipulated events over the span of thousands. He hadn't actually stayed there that long, but he had the memories and experiences of Templates that had.
By the time he emerged from the Actualized World, Vahn had earned the recognition of the two beings responsible for the world's creation. He also gained experience rewriting fate and creating planar realms that made textures appear elementary in comparison.
Understanding he could retroactively 'fix' everything once he took over the Divine Realm, Vahn took advantage of The Path's functionalities to create a Quest that would keep him on track.

-------------------------------------------------
Though two years might sound like an unreasonably short period of time, especially when it came to conquering something like the Divine Realm, Vahn was pretty confident in his ability to pull it off. The only thing that could possibly stand in his way was himself, and, ever since he had entered into a relationship with Sis, that became less of a factor.
Ever since Vahn first began his journey, Sis had been his emotional and spiritual anchor. During his time in the Actualized World, he had actually spent more time with Sis than Sandora. She was the one that had compelled him to become the God-Emperor of Targon and the Primordial Aspect of Creation, effectively rewriting the fate of the entire Actualized World. Now that they had returned, Vahn intended to work alongside Sis to make his long-held dream a reality.
Fortunately, even if Vahn just spent all his time cuddling up with Fenrir, Black Rabbit, Usalia, and countless others, he could still conquer the Divine Realm. Sis was just as powerful as he was, and, thanks to the System Templates, he could elevate everyone affiliated with the Aldrnari Empire to Tier 5 with relative ease.
Adding insult to injury, at least for his opponents, Vahn coordinated with Loi-chan to ascertain the identities of his enemies. By providing this information to Da Vinci and the others, he could just sit back and wait for them to bring him victory. Instead, Vahn went out of his way to create more than a hundred additional Templates, several of which were sent into select Actualized Worlds while the rest were assigned the task of replacing various Gods.
A stark contrast to how he felt when he first entered the Transcendental Path to Heaven, Vahn no longer cared about 'playing' around. As much as he cared about people, he had never once cared about the intricacies and complexities of politics and society. If not for his deeply rooted desire to experience new things, he would just hole himself up somewhere and spend literal eons cuddling with people like Sis and Fenrir.
Though he still intended to 'fix' a few things once he reached the pinnacle, Vahn no longer cared about trying to fix everything. His reason for reaching the top wasn't to have greater control over the worlds below but to remove himself from the equation. It wasn't that he had grown tired of interacting with others; he just found greater meaning in spending time with his family, friends, and loved ones.
When Vahn left the Record of Danmachi, he was roughly 155 years old. Several thousand years had passed since that fateful moment, and, due to the experiences of his Templates, he now had memories spanning tens of billions of years. He had witnessed the design and destruction of entire universes, reshaped realities, and influenced the lives of a truly countless number of people. However, even after reaching the point where he could pluck stars from the night sky and create metaversal structures with little more than a thought, it was the memories of his time in Danmachi that left the most profound impression on Vahn's heart and mind. He was ready to return home, and there was absolutely nothing that could stop him from doing so...

"Keep breathing. You're almost done."
As if placed into a trance by Vahn's words, Black Rabbit focused on her breathing, her contractions becoming progressively stronger as a rather large group of people observed the delivery of her kittens.
Seeing Vahn use a combination of Authority, Godhand, and Telekinesis to deliver each of Black Rabbit's six children effortlessly, Shiroyasha couldn't help remarking, "This feels like cheating..."
Taking Black Rabbit's final, rabbit-like child, Vahn handed the pink bundle over to Heng'e before stating, "I've never been fond of tragedies. If I can make things easier for the people I love, why shouldn't I...?"
Instead of responding to Vahn's words, Shiroyasha observed as Da Vinci placed a glowing sphere against the forehead of Black Rabbit's final child. Vahn wasn't taking any chances, so each of his and Black Rabbit's kittens were outfitted with Tier 5 System Templates from birth.
With the delivery completed, Vahn healed Black Rabbit's body and freed her from her trance, saying, "You did great..." as he caressed her face.
Blinking in surprise, Black Rabbit asked, "Eh...? It's over already?" before immediately focusing on the group of girls standing by with her children. Each currently resembled pink, white, and black rabbits, but that didn't stop Black Rabbit from tearing up a little as she reached out her arms and whimpered, "My babies..."
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yue, having attended the delivery at Vahn's behest, handed over Black Rabbit's first kitten, a predominately white doe with a peculiar, pink, heart-shaped birthmark on its forehead. (A/N: Xiao Yue is the Moon Goddess that gave Vahn one of her Ginko Seeds.)
Accepting the adorable kitten from Xiao Yue, Black Rabbit began to sniffle as she affectionately nuzzled against her daughter. It was a peculiar sight for those who expected Black Rabbit to give birth to humanoid offspring, but no one said anything about it. They just smiled and enjoyed the warm and pleasant feelings that filled the delivery room, amplified by Vahn...
...
..
.
Following the successful delivery of Black Rabbit's children, a version of Vahn accompanied Shiroyasha back to Thousand Eyes. There, Shiroyasha ordered Nadeshiko to prepare tea before making herself comfortable atop Vahn's lap.
"You've been very busy these past few weeks...it's making a lot of people very nervous..."
Shrugging his shoulders, Vahn replied, "I'm going home. If they get in my way, I'll remove them. It's as simple as that..."
Punctuating his words, Vahn gave Shiroyasha's butt a firm squeeze as he planted a kiss on her lips. She was currently in her more diminutive form, but, after 'mingling' with Yordles, most of the inhibitions he had regarding a person's size had faded into nothingness.
Feeling an intense surge of heat and pleasure spread through her body, Shiroyasha's voice became a little shaky as she broke free from Vahn's kiss and asked, "What will you do with those who stand aside? Will you just ignore them, despite the tragedies they had wrought unto others?"
While continuing to massage Shiroyasha's butt, Vahn calmly replied, "I'm not trying to purge 'evil' from the world. My penultimate goal is to lessen its influence and create a world where the innocent have greater freedom to choose the path they walk..."
"Mmm...well, so long as you give them a way out, everything should be fine..."
Though she got the impression that Vahn was starting to become like the monsters inhabiting the single-digit Gates, Shiroyasha had already thrown her lot in with him. He was the only one with the power to bring about the changes she desired, and, more importantly, the ideals Vahn represented were in line with her own.
With such thoughts on her mind, Shiroyasha closed the distance between her's and Vahn's lips, comforted by the notion that, if nothing else, he was the one person capable of making her feel like a woman...
...
..
.
Taking advantage of the fact that Vahn had allowed them to seduce him, Muninn waited until he had finished with Lenneth and Vor before casually inquiring, "If you don't mind my asking, when are you planning to visit the South? The Allfather has been awaiting your arrival for some time..."
While asking her question, Muninn readily and eagerly spread her cheeks as she laid face down with her butt in the air. In response, Vahn inserted himself inside of her, sheathing himself to the root as he replied, "I'll stop by tomorrow if it's that pressing an issue."
Without waiting for Muninn's response, Vahn effortlessly scooped her up into a precarious position known as the Standing Nelson. This prevented Muninn from immediately responding, her body trembling violently every time Vahn thrust into her from below. She attempted to cut off her sense of pleasure, but Vahn didn't allow it as he contorted her body into various positions.
Under ordinary circumstances, Vahn would drag things out and enjoy his time with the trio of Valkyries as much as possible. However, to prevent himself from becoming sidetracked, the Quest he created counted time even when slowed, stopped, or outright reversed its flow.
Unfortunately for Muninn, this meant Vahn would no longer be 'playing around' when she seduced him. He may have taken his time if she loved him, but they both knew why she had joined the Research Division. She acted as an agent of Odin, and the only thing she genuinely cared about was acquiring additional knowledge.
Despite her efforts to retain her senses, it wasn't long before Muninn's mind had blanked due to pleasure. For several minutes, all she could do was produce animalistic noises and moans as Vahn demonstrated for her the danger of 'provoking' him carelessly. When Lenneth and Vor saw this, the two of them were genuinely surprised as they couldn't even imagine their usually stoic leader producing such obscene noises.
Sensing the duo's thoughts, Vahn allowed Muninn to fall onto her hands and knees, his hips rhythmically smacking into the cushion of her toned buttocks as he said, "Relax. Unless you request it of me, I'm not going to bully the two of you like this..."
Hearing Vahn's words, Lenneth couldn't help swallowing hard as she imagined what it would be like to experience such intense pleasure. Vor was having similar thoughts, but, unlike the younger Valkyrie, she wasn't even remotely afraid. In fact, ever since Vahn had given them the ability to reproduce, she had been eagerly anticipating the day he impregnated her...
