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...

章節 2297: Rendezvous
Before heading to the South to meet with Odin, Vahn took a moment to visit Xysteria, Silva, Krona, and the new inhabitants of their Realm.
Back in the Actualized World of Runeterra, the Vastaya had been among the first species to walk the physical plane. They could thrive in virtually any environment, so, after consulting with Silva and Krona, Vahn allowed them to move into the relatively safe and burgeoning reality. With Xysteria occupying a separate texture, the only threats they had to worry about moving forward were themselves...
Teleporting to the heart of the newly created Vastayan settlement, a burgeoning forested city known as Omikayalan, Vahn found the deer-like Lillia tending to a large, flowering tree that exuded pink and blue mist.
Sensing Vahn's presence, Lillia's oversized ears twitched as she looked back, a bashful smile developing across her face as she said, "Welcome back, Vahn. Leilani is out exploring right now..."
Adopting a smile of his own, Vahn sauntered over to Lillia's side as he said, "I came to confer with the Elders. I just sensed you were feeling a little lonesome, so I decided to stop by."
"Oh..."
With Vahn wrapping his hands around her Cervitaurian waist, a potent blush spread through Lillia's face. Even after several years had passed, she still wasn't accustomed to intimacy. Fortunately, at least for the time being, it was just her and Vahn present.
Resting her forehead against Vahn's, Lillia explained, "The Vastaya don't dream the same way as humans. It's just a little quiet, that's all..."
As the Daughter of the Dreaming Tree, Lillia spent most of her time within a veritable dreamscape comprised of countless peoples' dreams. With the population of Omikayalan a mere 2,581 Vastaya and Yordles, the ordinarily boundless dreamscape felt small and restrictive.
"Mmm...if you'd like, I can talk with Silva about increasing the number of Spirits present in the world. Now that the Vastaya have made themselves home, it's a good time to start promoting the growth of other lifeforms."
Shaking her head, Lillia replied, "No, it's better if things develop naturally. Besides, I'm never truly alone. I have Leilani and lots of people I can call my friends..."
Upon mention of her rather adventurous daughter, the faint melancholy in Lillia's eyes faded away. Before meeting Vahn, she had been the first and only member of her species, the Dream Fawn. With his help, the Dreaming Tree was able to produce seventeen other blossoms, each becoming one of Lillia's sisters. As for Leilani, she was the first natural-born Dream Fawn in existence, an impossibility made flesh thanks to Vahn's 'efforts.'
"Well, as long as you're happy..."
Punctuating his words, Vahn planted a kiss on Lillia's forehead. She was one of the few women he associated with that didn't like kissing. Instead, they rested their foreheads against one another or touched noses...
...
..
.
After parting with Lillia, Vahn checked in on Leilani to find her exploring one of the unmapped regions of Silva's surface with several others. He didn't want to interrupt their adventure, so he only spent a few minutes observing them before teleporting to his next destination, a misty forest perpetually shrouded in gloom.
"Hmm...?"
Though he could have easily evaded, Vahn remained stationary as several arrows formed from ethereal blue energy impacted his body. At that exact moment, a massive, pitch-black shadow emerged from the mist, charging toward him as a ghostly blue, wolfish maw formed beneath a bone-white, vaguely sheep-like mask.
Extending his hand, Vahn said, "Sit." in a firm, authoritative tone. When he did, the shadowy creature, resembling a massive wolf's head without any limbs, promptly ceased its charge. Immediately after, a somewhat goofy expression developed across the creature's face as it cocked its head to the side and asked, "Father? What are you doing here...?" in a curious yet bone-chilling tone of voice.
Answering in Vahn's stead, a cold and feminine voice, seemingly echoing from every direction at once, declared, "He has no doubt come to visit us, dear Wolf."
Accompanying the echoing voice, a petite, 122cm tall, vaguely female figure covered in bluish-white fur emerged from the dense mist. Her face was covered by an obsidian black mask reminiscent of a wolf's visage, but her body was distinctly that of a faun, complete with drooping, sheep-like ears and bluish-black, hoofed feet.
Sending shivers through Vahn's body and causing a wry smile to develop across his face, the bow-wielding Aspect removed her mask to reveal a vaguely humanoid face that quickly became more feminine as she asked, "Have you come to breed me, Father...?"
Though he understood why many of the Aspects referred to him as their father, Vahn maintained a wry smile as he answered, "Lamb...I see you're still as candid as always..."
Evidently anticipating an affirmative response, Lamb's body transformed from a vaguely feminine figure to a comparably voluptuous frame as she replied, "Many days have passed since our last union. Our body yearns for your essence..."
Placing her hand on Vahn's chest, Lamb's mesmeric, bluish-purple eyes exuded a fierce, predatory hunger as she sensed the tremendous vitality coursing through him. She was one half of the Aspect of Death, so there was nothing more alluring to her than the inextinguishable life force held within Vahn's body. She craved it with every fiber of her being.
Unsurprised by Lamb's behavior, Vahn manifested a ghostly white rabbit that immediately caught the attention of Wolf, the amorphous black wolf that made up the second half of the entity known as Kindred.
Compelled by his instincts, Wolf immediately pursued the phantom rabbit as Vahn reached up to cup Lamb's modest yet remarkably soft left breast. Her fur was uncannily cold to the touch, giving off the impression of death itself, but Vahn had come to appreciate it quite a bit. After all, many of his most cherished and beloved companions had an affinity related to death, ice, or yin elemental energy...
"Turn around..."
Understanding that Lamb didn't care for foreplay one bit, Vahn compelled her to turn around. When she did, she immediately leaned forward slightly before reaching back to spread her perky, white, fur-covered cheeks. This caused her goat-like tail to curl upward, revealing the rather peculiar sight of her glowing, bluish-purple anus and labia.
Replacing Lamb's left hand with his own, Vahn spread her open with his thumb as he inserted his glans against her frigid, neon purple entrance. A foreboding chill promptly pervaded his lower body, but it was immediately overcome by the intense heat exuding from the very core of his being.
More so as a response to the heat pervading her body than the fact she was being pried open by a large and invasive object, a loud and sonorous moan escaped Lamb's lips. At the same time, the runic patterns covering her outer thighs and ears lit up as Vahn unhesitantly filled her insides full of his 'vital essence.' He was far from finished with her, but he knew Lamb was more interested in accepting his seed than having sex.
Presenting her hands so that Vahn could grasp her wrists, unrestrained gasps of pleasure emanated from Lamb's throat every time the former's hips impacted her rump. She really enjoyed this position as it allowed her to entrust everything to Vahn without having to worry about maintaining her facial transformation or covering him with her drool.
Fortunately for Lamb, Vahn was also rather fond of the position as he had always enjoyed the sight of a woman's backside. It was even better when said woman had a tail, so while Wolf was busy chasing down a rabbit that was nearly twice as fast as he was, Vahn continuously pumped Lamb full of his vital essence. Afterward, the two of them cuddled for a while at the base of a gnarled tree, silently enjoying the eerie yet relaxing ambiance of the mist-filled forest...
...
..
.
Though there were still quite a few people he felt like spending time with, Vahn promptly departed the Realm of his children after his encounter with Lamb. The timer for his Quest counted down regardless of whether or not he was in an alternate reality or an Actualized World, so he couldn't afford to 'play around' as much as he used to.
Manifesting in response to Vahn's introspection, Sis, appearing in her more feline form, said, "You shouldn't force yourself, Vahn. I understand your desire to wrap things up and return home, but you may end up hitting a wall if you try too hard and fail to achieve your objective."
Before answering Sis's words, Vahn embraced her in his arms and planted a lasting kiss on her lips. When they separated, nearly nine had passed as he answered, "Perhaps. However, what's the point of having all the time in the world if I can't spend it with the people I care about most? I'm tired of not being able to see my children, Sis..."
Though he had plenty of children at this point, knowing there were those he couldn't interact with left Vahn feeling bitter and melancholic. He now possessed more than enough power to protect the things he cared about, so he wanted to reunite his family before completely caving to his whims.
Understanding Vahn's thoughts, a caring yet exasperated sigh escaped from Sis's throat as she tenderly caressed his face. His happiness was the only thing she cared about, so she was more than willing to do everything in her power to make his dreams a reality.
"Before we head out, we should retrieve Fenrir. Depending on how things develop, she may be able to acquire the Origin of Fenrir. It would also be advantageous to inform the Templated Olympians to be on standby since there is a reasonably high probability that Mount Olympus will antagonize you during your stay."
"Hmm..."
While cradling Sis in his embrace, Vahn's thoughts wandered to the South Side. Zeus and Mount Olympus might not have taken action directly, but they had allowed Jason and the Argonaut Community to target the Sage Dragon's Hearth during his promotional Gift Game. That was tantamount to targetting his family and loved ones, so Vahn couldn't just let them off.
"Very well. I'll have everyone on standby so that we'll be ready to respond the moment something happens. But who knows? At this point, I may end up ripping Zeus limb from limb using my bare hands..."
Since Loi-chan had revealed Zeus's intentions, any goodwill the God may have had with Vahn was gone. The errant fool wanted to forge an alliance by marrying off their children. While such arrangements were relatively common, the thing that annoyed Vahn was that Zeus intended for them to be the suitors. In other words, the lecherous God wanted to get his hands on one of Vahn's daughters, something the latter would never, ever allow.
At this point, the only thing stopping Vahn from storming Mount Olympus was the fact he didn't feel like it. He would rather spend time with his kids or one of his many lovers than engage in acts of violence and brutality. In other words, it was simply inconvenient. Now that he would be visiting the South, however, Vahn no longer had a reason to delay the arrogant God's lesson...

(A/N: For those that are curious, it turns out I had a combination of the flu and omicron. I still feel like shit, but I'm going to try and pump out at least two chapters a day until I hit my quota. You can expect one a day on WN while the others will be posted to the Library of Akasha. Now that the site has ads, please consider reading EPIC or any of my other stories there. I eventually plan to sell mini figurines and other merchandise, but I'd like to focus on increasing site traffic before I try anything big. For every thousand users we have on the site, I plan to release an additional chapter per day up to 5 chapters. I know that might not sound very convincing after my recent health issues, but I'm at the point where I would rather work myself to death than continue putting things off. I just need a bit of motivation and some helpful feedback. I feed off interacting with the community, so feel free to let me know what you think of the chapters and where you'd like the story to go.)
