Chapter 1600: Chapter 1600. First Day Of Asterion's Life. |
After Asterion ate his first meal, Yasenia retracted her teeth and picked him up with her mouth, happily trotting toward the bath together with him. The doors in her way that were too small were smashed into pieces by Yasenia, leaving the girls not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Once at the bath, Yasenia sank into the water with the obedient Asterion and used her tongue to clean him. Unlike usual, her tongue changed from soft to somewhat like that of a cat. Asterion only giggled happily at his mother cleaning him.
While he was somewhat intelligent and had knowledge in his mind, Asterion had only recently been born. Moreover, he knew instinctively that Yasenia wouldn't hurt him, so he stayed still.
Yasenia blinked and suddenly recalled. "Right, I have not checked."
Using her tail, she picked up her boy and flipped him, making him laugh. Then, she glanced below his little eggs and nodded. "Fully male, I see."
There was a chance that, like her, the boy would have a female sex below, but there was nothing there. Asterion was 100% male. Seeing Asterion laughing, Yasenia threw him up until he almost hit the ceiling.
Of course, the boy didn't feel a shred of fear and only laughed.
The scene the girls saw when they entered was Asterion being flipped around by Yasenia, who was laughing hysterically. The boy's laughter echoed in the bathroom, lifting their spirits.
As the girls took off their clothes and entered the water, Asterion was set down by Yasenia. "Are you still hungry, Aster?"
Aster blinked his golden slit eyes and then nodded. "Hungry!"
Even if he just ate the highly nutritious egg shells and the remaining fluids from the egg, baby dragons had an incredible appetite. So, Yasenia transformed back into her human form and picked him up sideways.
"Here, baby. Eat."
Asterion hugged the large milk tank and happily began eating his second meal. Andrea muttered with a sigh. "It would be good if I could also lactate at will."
Yasenia looked at Andrea's large breasts and smiled, her golden slit eyes a touch suggestive. "Indeed, it would."
Evelyn sighed. "Honestly, Yasenia always eclipses you girls. However, only I can be considered to have a below-average figure. All of you have curves that leave others breathless."
She was not wrong. If it were not for Yasenia's dragon-class curves, which gathered all the attention and made the other girls look rather slim, Andrea and the others had weapons large enough to make eyes turn.
Glancing back at Yasenia, Evelyn muttered. "Only in a Dragon society can you say. 'Look, that girl has small F Cup breasts! She is so slim!'"
Kali's eyebrow twitched. "No, you are right. However, is there really someone who ever said that?"
Yasenia recalled her stay in the dragon empire during that particular trial and coughed. "Now that Evelyn reminded me… I was called slender back then."
"Slender…" Even Cecile felt her lips twitch as she glanced at the pair of breasts that were almost double the size of her head.
Meanwhile, Aster, who had fallen into a trance due to the deliciousness of Yasenia's breastmilk, remained unaware of what the girls were talking about.
Tatyana commented, looking at Aster. "So… when will you start training him?"
"After his nap," Yasenia answered, leaving the rest of the girls shocked.
Andrea frowned. "No, love. He was just born."
Yasenia tilted her head. "That's why it's good. He will absorb information like a sponge since he was just born."
Seeing Andrea's expression, Yasenia smiled and laughed. "You have not forgotten that Aster is a Level One Mythical Core Realm Beast, right? He is a Sixth Realm powerhouse."
Andrea's face stiffened, almost having forgotten about that fact. Yasenia flipped Aster to her other breast and smiled, gently patting his little butt. "Don't worry, Andrea. As a dragon, he is naturally better suited for fighting and also sturdy. Moreover, as an innate Sixth Realm powerhouse, he has an innate understanding of Heavenly energies. Only, unlike those who reach his level naturally, Aster will have some trouble taking the first step toward the Second Level."
Tatyana nodded. "That's indeed the case. Having been born in the Sixth Realm has both advantages and disadvantages. However, once he gets over the first few bottlenecks, he will soar like a rocket."
Andrea's expression relaxed, and she nodded. "I see."
Then, she swam over and looked down at Asterion's blissful expression while suckling Yasenia's breastmilk. Evelyn asked, curious. "Speaking of innate understanding… Can Aster practice the other paths or is he a pure beast?"
Yasenia answered calmly. "He is at the first level of the Sixth Realm in all four paths already."
"...Eh?"
Yasenia looked at Evelyn, tilting her head. "As I said, Aster is already at the first level of Transcendence, Undying Monarch Body, Soul King Palace Realm, and Mythical Core Beast Realm."
"..."
The other girls who didn't know were stunned on the spot. Kali was once more marveled. "As expected of your child, I guess. What a miraculous child."
Yasenia chuckled, looking down. "The stronger one's start is, the more difficulties during the cultivation realm. The experiences of cultivating the mortal realms are important, and it is something he won't ever get. Of course, I am sure Aster will be able to overcome those difficulties."
Cecile nodded. "If he is anything like you, Aster will be able to do it."
Evelyn laughed. "Even then, since he is at the first realm of all four paths… how long is his innate lifespan?"
The girls realized and began pondering. A dragon, first realm of the Sixth Realm… Andrea blurted. "Isn't his lifespan already over a million years?"
Yasenia hummed. "Probably longer. We dragons don't really have a fixed lifespan. As long as we are getting stronger, we can live on. Only getting stuck at the same realm will eventually cause our natural death."
Once more, the girls sighed in amazement. Angel asked, curious. "What about his element?"
"That… I don't know." Yasenia commented. "We need to make him go through the test first to know his Bloodline, Constitution, and Elemental affinities."
Andrea laughed. "I mean, in terms of bloodline, isn't it quite clear that he is an Empyrean Cosmos Dragon? Look at his tail. It is basically identical to yours, but instead of golden rings, it has those beautiful flame patterns."
Yasenia leaned into Andrea's arms while cradling Asterion. "Yes, but we still need to test him."
Andrea hugged Yasenia and Asterion, looking down at them with soft eyes. It was at this moment that it truly sank in. 'Yasenia really gave birth to my child…'
A rush of joy and satisfaction filled her. At one point, she had been doubtful if she would ever be able to truly fertilize such a magnificent creature. After all, the stronger one is, the higher their requirement for a mate.
So, seeing her own flesh and blood being born from Yasenia was like a universal stamp telling her that she was more than worthy of her. Of course, the other girls were no less, since everyone had been pregnant once with Yasenia's child.
After a while, feeling Yasenia's nutritious energies inside his body, Asterion fell asleep. While he was an immortal, he was also a child. So, things like sleeping and hunger were part of his psychology. Until he became a bit older, Asterion would still feel an urge to eat.
Now, feeling an urge and it being a necessity were different. Asterion could've gone without eating and sleeping right from the day he was born. If she did so, though, his growth might've been affected.
So, within Yasenia's arms, Aster's body decided to fall asleep and make sure to utilize everything possible to grow stronger quickly.
Valeria, Mirrory, and Tatyana glanced at Asterion's sleeping figure with both wonder and admiration. "She really gave birth to what we expected."
Mirrory nodded at Valeria's comment. "I had not really believed it was possible for such an outrageous species to have progeny. However, it seems that Empryrean Cosmos Dragons are about to become one of the strongest dragon species."
Tatyana clicked her tongue and smiled smugly. "As expected of the daughter I gave birth to, I guess. Hehe. Quad-path beasts have me as the Ancestor!"
Mirrory burst her bubble. "Sorry, but you and I know that Yasenia is not really blood-related to you. She is, after all, a progenitor. She is a mutation and a unique creature. A first of her line."
Tatyana rolled her eyes at her. "Alright, Miss Nitpick. Then, I am not the ancestor, but the mother of the ancestor…" Tatyana smiled. "Isn't that even more impressive?"
Mirrory sighed. "Yes, yes. That's more impressive."
***
Asterion woke up from his nap and looked up slowly. He saw Andrea holding him, his other mother. A sense of peace, satisfaction, and security filled him. After he was born, Asterion had been quite curious about this mother of his.
Yasenia, of course, was someone Asterion instantly recognized as not only his mother but an incredibly powerful being. His love and admiration for Yasenia were basically boundless just by instinct.
On the other hand, Andrea felt different. There was, of course, innate closeness and love for Andrea. However, he couldn't really feel that outrageously oppressive nature of his other mother from her. On the contrary, there were many other females around his mother that surpassed Andrea's aura.
So, he was curious. Not in a negative way. It was pure and innocent curiosity.
As he glanced at Andrea, whose skin was a touch darker than his own, the woman looked down at him. When she noticed he was awake, the woman smiled. "Good morning, Aster."
Asterion smiled at her and hugged her. "Good morning, Mom!"
His other mother told him to call Andrea "Mom" and herself "Mommy" to easily distinguish between them. Being obedient, Asterion started to refer to them as such.
Andrea caressed his head, making his tail wag in happiness as a small purr escaped his throat. Seeing him happy, Andrea laughed, her light green eyes dripping with love for him.
"Oh, is Aster awake?"
Asterion glanced sideways and saw his dragon mother walking over with a smile. From what he instinctively knew, Yasenia was his race's progenitor. And from some of his inherited memories, he knew that Yasenia was a ridiculously powerful prodigy.
In his mind, he could see some images of Yasenia fighting and overcoming some incredibly low odds. As he had only been born, these memories were very vague and only helped him get a feeling for Yasenia as a dragon instead of a mother.
As Yasenia lowered her face to kiss his forehead, she asked. "So, Aster. Are you ready? Do you want to play fight with Mommy?"
Asterion, hearing those words, felt his dragon blood surge, and his lips arched happily, a faint predatory light in his eyes. "Yes!"
"What a gaze."
His Mom spoke such words, but Asterion was not sure what she was referring to.
