Three days after Valerie, Aina, Ali, and Ari, arrived at the Crystal Palace.

Lux lightly patted Valerie’s head, which was resting on his shoulder.

Aurelia, who was looking at the two, couldn’t help but be impressed when the Half-Elf raised Valerie’s waist to pull his member out from inside of her.

His seed overflowed between her legs, creating an erotic sight that made Aurelia’s body heat up.

Valerie’s angelic face was flushed, and yet, the happiness, and satisfaction on her face was plain for them to see.

“My turn,” Aurelia said as she planted a kiss on Valerie’s right cheek before kissing the Half-Elf’s cheek as well.

“Mmm,” Valerie hummed as she rolled off Lux’s body, giving way for Aurelia, who had allowed her to be the first one to make love to their lover.

“I missed you,” Lux said before resting his hand on the back of Aurelia’s head, and pulled her close.

Soon the two shared a passionate kiss, which was what Aurelia wanted to do.

Among Lux’s lovers, Aurelia loved to be kissed the most.

Because of this, the Half-Elf obliged, and kissed her passionately as he slowly lowered her hips, so that Little Lux could kiss her womb as well.

A few hours later, the two Dragon Princesses laid on Lux’s shoulders, as they did their pillow talk.

They had just finished washing each other’s body, and were talking about their future plans.

“So, you snuck out of the Karshvar Draconis with the excuse of forming closer ties with the Crystal Palace?” Lux asked.

“Yes,” Valerie replied.

“Valerie is still innocent,” Aurelia replied. “I’m sure her father is thinking of matchmaking the two of us, so that the two Dragon Kingdoms will finally be at peace.”

Lux could understand why the Dragon King would have that kind of thought. He understood that Karshvar Draconis and the Crystal Palace had conflicting interests, due to the succession of the throne.

So, he found that the union between Valerie and Aurelia seemed to be the most optimal choice in order to finally put the conflict to rest.

The Half-Elf wasn’t well versed in politics, but he read plenty of novels back on Earth and understood that this was a method that Kings used in order to form an alliance with other kingdoms.

Of course, he only found this amusing because Aurelia, whom everyone thought of as the Dragon Prince, was actually a Dragon Princess.

Also, both Dragon Princesses were now his lovers, and were intent on having his babies.

He found this very endearing, so whenever he made love to them, he made sure to remove the Everlasting Ring, which prevented him from making his lovers conceive.

While the three of them were talking, their discussion shifted to the current situation in Elysium.

“Father said that we don’t have to worry even if the Abyssal Creatures were to invade our world,” Valerie stated. “He said that he had made adequate preparations for an invasion years ago.”

“Oh?” Lux arched an eyebrow. “Your father is that confident? Maybe he is just saying that so you and your family won’t worry.”

“Perhaps.” Valerie nodded. “Truth be told, I am scared. According to the history books that I read in our Library, billions of people died when the Abyssal Creatures descended upon our world. It was the darkest era of Elysium, and if what the Divine Army is saying is the truth, this invasion will happen soon.”

Aurelia, who was also trained to become the next ruler of the Crystal Palace, also joined the discussion.

“My Aunt said that she had also made adequate preparations,” Aurelia stated. “It seems that everyone thinks that this war is right around the corner. Although it doesn’t show on their faces, everyone seems to be on edge as of late.”

“Don’t worry,” Lux said before planting a kiss on Valerie’s and Aurelia’s foreheads. “We’re going to be fine. The people of this world aren’t that weak.”

“Will you also fight when the Abyss invades our land?” Aurelia asked.

Lux nodded. “Of course.”

The Half-Elf was confident that, with his and Eiko’s forces under their command, they would be able to help the people of Elysium repel the invaders from the Abyss.

The war against the Divine Army had taught him many things. Because of this, he planned to travel the lands of Elysium, looking for ancient battlefields, where great wars were fought.

Glee had also visited the Nursery a day ago, and fed the Baby Slimes the Beast Cores that allowed them to learn the skill, Blast Bomb.

Currently, Eiko’s best friend was stockpiling weapons of Mass Destruction that were being stored within the underground Kobold Nest, inside the floating island.

The production of the Gyrocopters had also started.

Lux’s current advantage was his aerial superiority. Since his floating island could travel anywhere, they would be able to go to any battlefields and act as reinforcements.

He had already discussed this matter with Emma and General Garret, who were also making sure that their logistical preparations would be enough in the case there was a prolonged war against the Abyssal Creatures.

Lux had been in the Abyss once, and if they were just going to talk about statistics, he believed that the number of Demigods that the Abyss had was greater than the number of Demigods and Supremes in Elysium.

Of course, not all Demigods were Warmongers.

But, the majority of them were. ᴛʜs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀ s ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛ ʙʏ ovl_Fir.et

Although he wasn’t certain, Lux believed that Queen Rhiannon and Antero would not side with the invaders this time around.

In fact, he also wanted to visit the Abyss undercover to better understand the strength of their forces.

But, the Domain of the Fallen, where the portal that led to the Abyss had been, no longer existed.

Also, Lux didn’t know if it was possible for him to enter the Abyss by going to Zangrila.

The Kingdom that had been destroyed by the Abyss in the past, and the place where Lux met Gaap for the first time.

That place held a special place in Lux’s heart because it was there where he had gained the qualifications to become a Heaven’s Necromancer.

It was there when he made the choice about what kind of Necromancer he wanted to become.

It was there when he gained King Leoric’s allegiance, allowing him to make the Wraith King his subordinate.

Unknown to everyone, a movement was happening within the Abyss.

—————————

Thirteenth Floor of the Abyss…

Queen Rhiannon was reading the reports of her subordinates about the recent movements of the Abyssal Lords in the Abyss.

She could sense the tension in the air, and she didn’t like it.

“Little Rhiannon, are you worried?” an ancient voice asked, which made the Succubus Queen feel less anxious.

She then walked towards the Balcony of her room, and looked at the towering Golem, who was seated right beside their castle.

“Lord Antero, do you feel it?” Queen Rhiannon asked.

“Yes,” Antero replied. “Portals… opening soon.”

As the Primordial Golem of Destruction, Antero could feel any shift in the Abyss.

He had also sensed that something had happened at the lowest level of the Abyss, but he didn’t make any move to investigate.

The reason?

It was due to the life that was currently inside the Succubus Queen’s womb.

During pregnancy, a Succubus would be unable to use their full powers because most of their magical and physical strength was being absorbed by their unborn child.

The stronger the Succubus, the stronger their child would be when they were born.

Of course, the gestation period of a Succubus was different from a Human, especially if it was a high-ranking Succubus like Queen Rhiannon.

Instead of nine months, it would take fifteen to twenty months before they gave birth to their child.

Antero had no intention of leaving Queen Rhiannon alone during this period of time, especially now that the Hierarchy within the Abyss seemed to be changing.

As the Primordial Golem of Destruction, he stood at the Apex in the Abyss.

But, as if to make sure that the Succubus Queen wouldn’t be disturbed by anyone, or anything, Antero had sealed the Portals that led to the Thirteenth Layer of the Abyss an hour ago.

He had waited until Queen Rhiannon’s subordinates returned from their mission to gather the latest news about the other Layers in the Abyss.

Antero understood that getting information was also important, so he made sure to wait until all who were sent on their mission had returned.

The Golem of Destruction had sensed that something very unusual was happening on the bottom layers, which prompted him to take drastic measures to protect the one person in the Abyss that he considered to be his family.

Now that the Thirteenth Layer of the Abyss was sealed, they were cut off from the other Layers of the Abyss, whose leaders were also starting to feel the changes that were happening in their world.
