Chapter 1016: 1014-Got Competetion. |
Later in the scene, it was a natural, good show effect as he took the fruit. But he didn’t fully consume it with some skill. He made a small cut towards it, gave a piece of the pulp and took the large, full piece as he ate it. The two of them had already formed a sort of connection between them, this because he has a talent and skill to tame beasts.
’The beast talent is far superior to his talent in the bow. Above that is a specially acquired talent.’
My eyes could see it in his soul, which made me smile as I left the place. I have already kept my tracking on him, and being the good luck he has, he will keep finding stuff. I will take the best, leave him the scraps. Even with that, it might be enough for him to reach the peak of Imperial rank and maybe beyond it to touch the powers of the Dragons.
With those thoughts humming in my mind and Luna on my shoulder, I moved through space again, shifting and tumoring away as I moved to my next destination. I rarely get all this free time to myself, away from all the surveillance, trickery and stuff.
Right now, I am ticking off the things I need to deal with, slowly burning it all down. My mind was in a certain flux of power and understanding as I moved along the ways of space, soon arriving above the oceans. The waves of the sea greeted me, and the smell of the ocean filled my nose, tickling away.
"Urgh.... I don’t like it here."
"Don’t worry, don’t worry...."
I petted Luna, who didn’t want to go into the water, but will have to do so, since the next and last regressor lies within this water. My body flashing still above the ocean. I didn’t jump into it due to the very fact that this part of the ocean needs a special kind of interference before I can go wild.
"Urgh..... she is coming...."
"My.... my.... someone did finally bag in the temper of the wolf."
"Shut up!"
Luna barked back as my eyes settled on the woman in front of me.
’Urgh... those are some serious looks right there.’
I mused as Luna’s tail hit my back like some kind of control device as I looked at the form of the Kraken in front of me. The other divine beast, unlike the others, holds control over the ocean. Normal powers moving around won’t be an issue, but when I try to move with Luna by my side, we have to be careful. Not that we can’t win in a fight against her, we could by applying quite an effort. But why make unnecessary enemies?
The person in front of me was a woman, adjusting her size to look like mine. But it’s very hard to call and consider her a woman by any standard. Her head had flowing purple and mixed black hair that looked like tentacles flowing down her back, beautiful yet silky. The unique aspect caught her eye. She had 6 eyes, 3 on one side and 3 on the other, blinking by themselves as they looked at me with unbridled curiosity.
She had quite the beautiful lips with purple lipstick on them, normal 2 ears on her side and a cute nose. Somehow mixing itself to create quite the exotic beauty in itself. My eyes travelled downwards for a moment.
’Damn.... that gives Orpheus quite the fight.’
First time seeing a pair that can match Orpheus in size, weight and elasticity right in front of me. She was wearing a purple dress, around her, but the size of that could quite clearly be felt by how much it was bigger than the rest of her. The deep cleavage quite the sight for me to see. Narrowing downwards, she had normal legs floating above the ocean with purple and black skin, and let me tell you that skin looked smooth yet rough; that’s the impression it gave me.
Interestingly, I could see several tentacle-like suckers forming from her back and stuff twirling around her like protective kids. Her smile showed off quite the dangerous teeth in her mouth, sharp and deadly, and I am sure they can bite off the hardest substances in the world.
For a moment, I held my thighs tighter together.
"Pervert..."
Luna whispered, to which I took that title with honour as I gave a smile to the Kraken.
"It’s an honour to meet the Kraken."
"Oh, please, you can call me Krave."
Krave replied with a smile.
"And the honour is all mine to meet the ever-famous yet disappearing human that beat all of us so silently to walk into divinity and power. You made all the talk among every being. Quite the impression." .
"What can I say, I am quite impressionable."
I shot back with a shrug of my shoulder, which only made Krave chuckle as her eyes landed on Luna enjoying itself on my shoulder.
"My.... my.... I have to say the pairing between you two makes you the strongest beings in the realm right now. So might it be too much to ask why you have headed to the seas?"
Her words were natural and flowing, yet somehow gentle and loving. Before coming here, I had gotten much information about Krave from Luna and bought some other items from the system to fill in the blanks. And what can be said about her most is that she loves the ocean and protects it fiercely from anything that wants to break such a balance.
Think of her more like an Orpheus, but for the sea folks. Gentle like tone, maternal like feeling flooding out from her. For a moment, I even wanted to call her mommy, but I held myself back from it.
"I just want to travel around the ocean, and I have eyes on a single being from your ocean. Would like to play around with them."
At my words, the eyes of Krave fluttered.
"Only one?"
"Might mess around with others that are related to the one, but nothing more than that."
At my words, Krave smiled widely, a chuckling expression on her face.
"Then it’s fine. Would have sacrificed close to a billion to keep it safe, but just 1 and not causing massive damage, then you can do anything you want in the ocean."
I smiled at those words. Maternal indeed, but just like Life, willing to do what it takes.
"Thanks."
"But there is an issue."
’Sigh.... there always will be.’
Holding that thought, I looked at Krave, who had a wry smile as she spoke, her tentacles fluttering about.
"You see, I don’t protect the ocean myself. I have friends and help from the divine realm, contracts made there, and the Gods there would be willing to let you do anything you want for some..... fun."
’Huh.....’
[The Gods are finally making their moves.]
’Being annoying, it seems.’
As the system had warned me before, the Gods wanting me for the entertainment of feelings are making their moves. Though most of them lean just towards the High-tier Gods, the Supreme ones are a bit more special in their own way.
"Sigh... What do they want?"
I asked, to which Krave added.
"They just want to hang out with you. At points here, there are marks they have created that form a realm meeting between divine and this, a construct of the realm they have made to meet up with you. If you meet them, they will also let you in. And I have to say this is their will, not mine."
Krave added, and I understood, shaking my head, I agreed.
"Sure, let’s do it."
I could pull in Orpheus and have her deal with it, but I can’t keep running to mommy all the time, can I?
So it’s better to deal with this like this. Plus, at meeting points like these, they can’t enforce their whole power anywhere; there are restrictions at play. Plus, with my luck going to what it is now, getting Goddesses like Lala, who just wants to fool around, would be me being lucky.
After all, to the Gods, the sense of what entertainment can be is different, which is why in this world it isn’t always best to get the attention of the Gods. Because it goes one of two ways, it either ruins you or it blesses you. Sometimes it goes from blessing to ruin, too.
