Chapter 151: Will you be able to handle it?
[Author's note: go to the end of the chapter fast. Only the first one will get that.]
'Why are you asking the obvious? I am not the one controlling all of this behind the scenes; how would I know?'
[To make the chapter longer, duh~]
'What? What chapter?'
[Hmm? What chapter?!]
'You just said that... sometimes you say things that I don't understand at all. Sigh, can you tell me now?'
[Hmph, don't accuse me of things I didn't say.]
[The dungeons work according to the planet the tower is on. Meaning according to the overall strength of the beings residing on that planet.]
[On your previous planet, the overall strength wasn't that high. Yeah, you did make technological advancement but that wasn't enough to boost overall strength.]
[It also works based on how many floors have been climbed by the beings of that realm. That's why your previous world had the monsters at the strength of mostly S-rank hunters or monsters who had their stats at 100+ only.]
'Umm, so what you are saying is, if we kept on climbing higher, we would be encountering more powerful monsters with higher stats.'
[Yep.]
'Is that why you stopped me to climb the tower at first? Cause if I go to the tower and begin to climb higher and higher, more powerful monsters will emerge on Earth?'
[Ummhmm.]
'Wait... what if I were to conquer the floor instead of just climbing that? The monsters on the planet I went to in that dungeon... weren't they almost on my level? Then if I did that in the tower then...'
[You guessed right... monsters so much more powerful will come out from those dungeons then. At that time, you and Seraphina would have been the only ones to keep up against them, including Nova. And a little someone...]
'Someone...?'
[You will meet him soon. It's related to your quest.]
'Quest for Celestina? So you mean the leader of that Black Serpent guild is that powerful?'
[You will find out about that soon, host. For now, did you get what I mean?]
'Yeah.'
Evan then looked at the tower. Looking at it, he felt a strange emotion.
He has been trying for so long to enter that it won't be a lie to say that it was one of his dreams to enter ever since he awakened in his previous life.
And finally, that moment was near.
'I am gonna conquer you soon. I will reach such a height that nobody will ever reach.'
Excitement filled his whole body, and a full, stretched-wide smile formed on his face.
He didn't even try to hide it, and naturally, Seraphina was able to see that.
"Are you that excited to go to a new world? It must be your first experience, which you remember. Originally we were from a different planet as well. In that, travelling between different worlds wasn't a big deal at all. In fact, many worlds are connected, and if someone is strong enough, they can tear open a dimensional portal and travel between worlds."
She gently rested her head on Evan's chest, and he also took hold of her body.
Her body was soft and felt like a cushion. She then began to gently yet seductively circle his chest.
"You should have been the Prince of the demon realm, and with your potential, you should have become a demon king too. All of which that should have belonged to you..."
"Do not worry about it, mother. We will soon take everything that was ours. And for me being a demon king... I have no interest in just that; I will rule over everything, not just the demon realm. With you by my side, I will definitely be able to achieve that."
Evan said, looking at her lovingly and giving her a peck on her head.
Seraphina closed her eyes and rested like that for a while.
After a brief moment, she spoke again.
"I have decided to abolish my cultivation and restart again."
Evan was surprised at first. But then again, it was for her own sake.
"Are you sure? I know I suggested that myself, but still... you have spent a very long period of time getting to the realm you are in."
"No, it's fine. It will take me a few years to get back to the realm I am in. I never really cared about my cultivation in the demon realm. It would have been very obvious for other demon kings to know about my strength, that's why I worked on my physical strength instead. I am much stronger than I should be for the realm I am in because of that, so abolishing my cultivation won't make any difference for me."
Evan just hummed at her statement. He already knew about it from Nova. Thinking of Nova was also similar to Seraphina in this context; her realm wasn't justifying her strength.
In fact, her stats look too broken. In Evan's case, he can understand it was because of his system and because he took the first time of Seraphina.
But what about her...?
'Now that I actually think of that, she is really the odd one. She is in her twenties still and she is so much powerful. Just her training with those demon kings wouldn't be enough to justify that.'
[...]
Then, as if their system wanted to say something. A blue screen appeared in front of Evan. But there was nothing in it.
'Do you have something to say?'
[No, host.]
<I should wait for a while. He will realize about himself soon enough anyway. Sigh, how good would it be if I wasn't prohibited to tell him about himself?>
"So when are you planning to go there?" Seraphian asked.
"As soon as I can."
"Hmm, is that so? Then why don't you take Nova with you? Everyone else is busy here with their training. For now, they should increase their strength first and then go inside the tower. As for me, I want to take a rest."
She said, exhaling a long breath. She was too exhausted physically.
Evan smiled at her and said,
"I understand. You have worked really hard, Mother."
"I didn't do it just for a small praise. Did you forget my reward?" She said pouting her mouth.
She angrily glared at Evan, but rather than being scary, she was looking cute instead.
"I remember clearly. After I get back from the tower, I will take you out, okay?"
Evan wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her in closer to him.
He looked at her in her eyes and gave her a deep kiss on her lips.
Seraphina happily accepted that and kissed him back.
"Mmm... haaa..."
They separated after a few minutes and looked at each other. Both of them lost ging for each other's touch.
Then Seraphina leaned in closer to him and whispered into his ears.
"This is a wish of mine for a very long time. I wanted to have a child with the man I love. Not many, just 6 or 7 will be enough. Will you fulfil my wish?" She asked him, looking like a little girl who had just fallen in love and was confessing to her lover.
'6 or 7? Including us 3 will make it 10... she wants that many... but I do not have the heart to refuse her even though I do not plan on having kids right now. With so many things happening around me, I don't think I will be able to take care of them. Even by chance, a mishap does happen... I won't be able to forgive myself.'
Evan was taking time. And as if sensing his thoughts, Seraphina spoke again.
"Don't worry, I am not saying let's have kids right away. I am willing to wait until we get to the demon realm and finish what we have left."
She looked calm on the surface, but Evan knew she was feeling sad, maybe because he took a while to answer her.
"I am willing to have as many kids as you want, not just 6 or 7. If you want, I am willing to have 100s of kids with you. Us cultivators live long anyway and just cultivating all the time is not fun, right? So what do you say? Do you think we will be enough to take care of that many kids?" He said calmly.
His words made her form a bright smile on her face, and a blush appeared on her puffy cheeks.
"I can manage. But do you think you can handle that many kids? Don't forget, husband, you have many wives, and they will get jealous if you only give your attention to me. And I know many more will come in future, too. Will you be able to handle 1000s of kids?"
"Are you teasing me right now?"
"Maybe I am. So what of it? I can't even be concerned for my husband now."
"Oh really."
"Yep... hehe..."
