Angel Monarch

A night full of joy and laughter began. Jo and Nick went to bed soon after Sera arrived. Even though they were Transcended, they couldn't stay awake throughout the night.

Other than Vicky and Henry, only adults remained inside the dining hall, and that's when the real celebrations began. Lucy disappeared for a few minutes with a cunning grin, then reappeared with a few bottles of Critter Bite...

Sera and Bea both drank quite a bit, albeit Bea's body broke down the alcohol too fast, so she felt nothing. Sera though... she got drunk real fast...

The alcohol should've barely affected Sera's Transcended constitution, yet the combination of her mental and physical exhaustion enhanced the drink's effects.

It was barely midnight, yet her words became incoherent. Her usual pale face became flushed red, as her golden-green eyes couldn't seem to focus on anything. She kept hugging people randomly, especially her daughter and Bea.

Even Faith came out of her shadow. She seemed to enjoy her Goddess's random hugs the most. The Shadow didn't even mind when Sera vomited all over her ample chest. Her face just kept on grinning as she cleaned off her Lady.

The Queens of London were also invited and watched Sera with mixed feelings.

Elizabeth hated the random hugs the most, while her wife, Valerie, kept trying to make Sera drink more. The muscular giant laughed every time Sera did something dumb, while her wife just rolled her eyes.

The atmosphere remained merry throughout the night. They had many problems waiting to be addressed, yet for one night, they ignored these issues and instead celebrated their friend's full recovery.

The fun lasted until about two o'clock in the morning, when Sera's drunkenness reached a new level. That's when she began not just hugging but groping people's butts and chests. Luckily, she only did it to Cass, Melinda, Kim and Will, who all laughed it off.

Before she could've sexually harassed anybody else, Bea quickly dragged her away. While walking through the empty corridor, Sera's right hand rested on Bea's boob, and she kept periodically squeezing it.

Small moans escaped Bea's mouth, and many dirty thoughts flashed through her mind. However, she stayed stoic and kept carrying Sera to her room.

There, she put Sera to bed, but just when she tried to leave, the Angel pulled her into bed as well. Her arms and legs wrapped around Bea's body as she fell into a deep sleep.

Bea tried to move, to leave Sera's warm embrace, yet her body betrayed her feelings. Her muscles froze, and she couldn't make herself get out of the tight hug. Soon she also fell asleep with her arms wrapped around Sera's waist.

After both fell asleep, two more people appeared and climbed into their bed. Vicky and Nick both pushed in between the two women, so they became part of their embrace too.

Sera's small family slept together for the first time. None of them woke up until the early afternoon.

First, Vicky's white eyes fluttered open. She felt both her mothers and younger brother's arms hugging her petite body. Their warm embrace brought peace and comfort unlike anything Vicky had ever felt. She missed only Henry. His presence would've made this feeling perfect.

Vicky stayed motionless until the others woke up. However, after half an hour, she began to get bored. As she prepared to teleport away, a familiar disgusting smell entered her nostrils.

She glanced at the young boy and saw the bulge in his diaper. The next second, little Nick's golden-hazel eyes opened, and became teary. He began wailing loudly, notifying everyone about his full diaper.

Bea's eyes snapped open, and she immediately began glancing around for some unknown threat.

Sera just turned to her other side with an annoyed groan and continued sleeping. However, Bea was having none of it.

After making sure no threat was present, Bea turned towards Sera with a small, mischievous smirk.

She controlled the golden petals on Sera's dress, causing tiny vines to grow from them near her chest. The vines embraced Sera's nipples and pinched them hard enough to wake the Angel.

With a loud yelp of pain, Sera jumped to her feet, while Bea laughed her ass off.

Sera needed a few seconds to realize what just happened. She turned towards Bea with an annoyed expression, but that only made her laugh harder. The Angel's gorgeous golden hair looked like a small bush as her locks stood all over the place.

With a deep, annoyed sigh, Sera turned away from Bea and reached for the still crying Nick. She brought the young boy to the bathroom, where she changed his diaper with extreme precision.

Nobody would've guessed she hadn't changed a diaper in the past year. As if the motherly instinct took over Sera's body, her hands moved fast. She finished her job in under a minute, and let Nick run back into the bedroom.

The dirty diaper disappeared into the shadows, which Sera didn't even react to. After washing her hands, face and brushing her tangled hair, Sera entered the bedroom only to find a curious sight.

Nick jumped up and down on the bed, wearing nothing but his diaper, while Bea was changing her clothes. She stood nude before Sera's wardrobe, where she placed the silver dress Sera made from Angelic Metal. A second later, the usual blood-red petal dress covered her body.

Vicky stood beside the small dining table, where Hestia—still wearing her maid costume—placed a large tray full of breakfast and beverages.

Sera stopped in the bathroom doorway and glanced down at her dress. It was golden once... but after the previous night, it had many unknown liquids stuck to its petals.

She was about to enter the bathroom to change clothing, when she felt a tender hand touch her shoulder. Sera glanced back at Bea's smiling expression as the golden petals dissolved one-by-one, and grew fresh, clean ones in their place.

"Thanks." said Sera with a wide smile, and together they walked towards the dining table.

Nick followed them as well, his wings enabling him to float through the air.

They all sat around the table, but before they began eating, Sera dressed her son in a light Angelic Metal shirt and pants. Nick glanced down at the silver clothing and frowned.

"I don't like this color. I want the same color as Mommy!" he declared while pointing at Sera's golden dress.

Everyone chuckled at the table, and Sera tried changing the clothing's color. She never needed to change the Angelic Metal's color, but since she had full control over the substance and its properties, it wasn't too difficult.

A few seconds later, Nick's silver shirt and pants became bright gold. His golden-hazel eyes shone with excitement, but a moment later he glanced towards Bea and frowned.

"I want Mommy's color too!" he said while pointing at Bea.

Sera chuckled, while Bea smiled with love and pride. She added a blood-red petal flower pattern to his clothing, which finally satisfied him.

"Thank you!" he said with a gap-toothed grin.

They began having breakfast, even though it was well over noon. After eating their fill, Sera and Bea both decided to take the day off and spend it with Nick and Josephine, since the young girl loved to play with the Angelic boy.

Vicky sadly spent only an hour playing before Mary and James asked for her presence.

After figuring out the best way to open Gates and keep them open, the scientist duo, with the help of Vicky, began connecting each city-state under Aegis System protection.

Currently, most of Europe was connected, with one city-state on other continents.

In the past days, they finished placing all the Antarctican city-states under Aegis System protection.

The South-American city-states went through some changes, which halted their progress. They want to condense their population more, so instead of dozens of city-states with barely a million residents, they can have fewer and larger cities.

The Asian city-states were still deemed untrustworthy for this elaborate network by Xinya, who still hadn't left her home continent. She acted as an ambassador between the Angelic Order and the few surviving Masters of Asia.

They were also supplied with Aegis System generators, so at least they're safe from immediate invasions.

However, none of these political dilemmas bothered Sera right now. She finally got time to play and spend quality time with her son. Right now, she was the happiest woman in the Universe!

She made different-colored Angelic Metal building blocks, which Nick happily piled atop each other, then pushed out the bottom and clapped as it toppled.

They also drew together, and Sera taught him how to write a few words, like his family members' names. Bea also helped with the teaching, albeit instead of writing, she taught Nick basic sword fighting techniques, using blunted wooden swords.

The little Angelic boy didn't seem to understand, but he giggled and laughed while trying to hit Bea.

Jo mostly watched everything from afar. She mimicked all of Nick's expressions. When he laughed, she began giggling. When he looked annoyed, the baby puffed out her cheeks. When he ran and hugged his mother, Josephine also crawled and hugged Nick's neck.

They played fetch with Brian outside, then Sera took Nick flying. Bea also grew a pair of wings made of leaves and branches, while Jo traveled on Nick's chest, on a makeshift baby carrier Sera made.

By the time night arrived, they were all starved and tired, so after a quick dinner, they went back to the bedroom and slept together. Sometime during the night, Vicky arrived too, and climbed into the bed beside everyone.
