1304 Zymera's Decision*
Since the Celestial Spirit Court had received their warning, it was best to remain cautious. Rather than go personally, he instructed her to dispatch her clones to handle the task.
Greta nodded in understanding.
A clone descended from the sky and landed beside Veyrahl.
"Prepare to leave at once. The more bases you help us uncover, the more I'll consider sparing your life," Orion said.
Veyrahl nodded. Rising to her feet, she ascended into the sky, the clone following close behind. She looked behind her, fists slightly clenched, before they vanished into the distance.
After Veyrahl left with Greta, Orion instructed Layrin to demonstrate how his watcher technique worked.
Layrin agreed and led Orion and the others to a quiet space within the tower to showcase his abilities.
Orion and the others watched curiously as mirror-like screens materialized around them, each displaying scenes in real-time. They observed Celestial Spirit Court forces battling against the Divine Corps. Countless mechanical constructs from the Divine Corps were scattered across the battlefield. Other screens showed the remaining forces of the 1112th External Base Division, who were still within the territory.
Layrin sighed inwardly. The number of active life brands had dropped below ten million.
"Head to those locations and eliminate every single Spirit Beast with a life brand," Orion commanded.
Greta nodded in acknowledgement. She silently dispatched the order to her clones, who were already monitoring the floating island. She sent a dozen clones, enough to execute the task swiftly and efficiently without drawing too much attention.
Upon hearing Orion's command, Layrin trembled. 'He's not sparing a single soul,' he thought. For an ordinary being, eradicating Spirit Beasts would have been nearly impossible, as they could regenerate even from the most minor remnants of their bodies. But with divine beings hunting them, escape was no longer an option; only death awaited.
"Do you have any information regarding the other Spirit Beast Coalitions?" Orion asked, curious.
Layrin shook his head and replied, "No, I don't. Although we collaborate in the war against the Divine Corps, we know very little about each other's internal structures. The secrecy is intentional. It is to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands, in case the coalition is ever compromised."
Orion nodded in understanding. He turned his focus back to the mirror-like screens, which displayed the remaining Celestial Spirit Court forces within the region. One by one, the scenes began to freeze, and the life brands on the scroll vanished, evidence that Greta had already begun dispatching them.
After several minutes, only a few screens remained active, showing the ongoing war between the Spirit Beasts Coalition and the Divine Corps.
"Continue watching the war and inform me of any major developments," Orion said.
"Understood," Layrin replied with a nod.
As Orion and the others exited the room, one of Greta's clones remained behind to keep an eye on Layrin.
'I don't know what they're planning… but hopefully, the headquarters will respond to their message and make them regret their actions,' Layrin thought, feeling a small weight lift from his shoulders now lessened. However, the presence of the woman only replaced one pressure with another.
At that moment, Viscount Thri'el was also under surveillance in a separate room, so Layrin wasn't the only one facing this dilemma. He could only steel himself and continue his duties.
Outside, Orion made his way to one of the luxurious rooms on the floating island. The room was way larger than it looked from the outside, built to accommodate Spirit Beasts in their true form with a large cushion and a pool, and with a table and chairs on the other side. He had already begun mastering the Vylkr techniques and intended to use all his time to comprehend them completely. Fortunately, with guidance from Zera and the others, his progress was fast. Meanwhile, Greta's other clones were surveying the entire floating island for anything of interest.
....
Knock! Knock!!
A resounding knock echoed from the door, drawing a slight surprise from Orion as he sensed who was waiting on the other side.
"Come in," Orion said, his voice carrying through the door.
The door opened, and Zymera stepped inside. She quietly shut it behind her and walked forward. When she reached him, she bowed respectfully.
"What do you want?" Orion asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I've thought things through and made a decision. I want to serve the Supreme Leader for the rest of my life and do my best to expand your household," Zymera replied. She had taken her time to think deeply about the offer, and now she was convinced this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity she couldn't afford to miss. If she let it slip by, she knew she might regret it forever. For a Spirit Beast like her—one destined to live for countless years—that regret would last a very long time.
"Are you certain?" Orion asked, his tone curious.
Zymera nodded. Instead of answering verbally, she slowly slipped off her robe, revealing her bare, emerald-toned, and iridescent scaled body, which shimmered beneath the light from the crystalized lighting hanging down from the ceiling and on the wall. Though smaller than some of the other women in the household, her breasts were firm and perfectly shaped, defying gravity. But her waist and hips genuinely stood out. Her waist was narrow and smooth, while her hips were wide and pear-shaped, drawing an alluring curve. A small patch of emerald hair, tracing her clit showcased itself.
It seemed her robe had concealed more than even his eyes could pierce.
Zymera instinctively crossed one arm over her chest, covering her breasts and the other across her lower lips.
Seeing that she had genuinely thought this through, Orion didn't press her with any more questions. He was also curious to see if he could impregnate a Spirit Beast and what the effects would be if he succeeded.
With a simple thought, Orion's robes dissolved into particles of light, leaving him seated nude on a cushion. He raised one hand and channelled divine energy, manifesting a bed from the surrounding essence.
Rising to his feet, he reached out and gently took Zymera's hand.
She accepted his grasp without hesitation, her fingers lightly tightening around his.
Orion observed her quietly, feeling blood rushing towards his engorged penis. He led her toward the bed and sat on its edge, gesturing for her to climb on. She did, positioning herself with her knees resting on either side over his legs. Orion placed one hand on her waist and guided her arms gently over his shoulders.
If that were true, perhaps he could meet her virginity even in her true Spirit Beast form. Of course, there was another issue where he might find her humanoid more attractive than her true Spirit Beast form, and so doing it in that form might be next to impossible.
Her lips parted slightly, unsure whether to speak her thoughts aloud.
Orion noticed her hesitation. "What is it?" he asked gently.
After a moment of silence, Zymera responded, "I was wondering if... we could do this in my true Spirit Beast form. But I understand this isn't the right place."
A knowing look spread across Orion's face. He nodded. "I don't mind. When we're in a safer location, I'll honour your wish and make all seven of your heads cry out in pleasure."
As he spoke, his hand trailed down to her pearly hips, lightly caressing the curve of her body.
Zymera blinked in surprise at his response. She hadn't expected him to consider the request seriously, let alone agree to it without hesitation. She'd thought he might dismiss it or tell her to wait for another time.
No matter his answer, she had intended to use it to judge what kind of man she had entrusted herself to, but now, she felt her heart stir with an unfamiliar emotion. Before coming here, Ilse, Derry, Lyra, and Reena approached her. As they explained, Reena was Orion's sister and had come to verify their claims. They informed her about everything she needed to know about Orion. They believed she was afraid of him and uncertain about how she would be treated and what her future with the household would look like if she surrendered herself to him. The greatest source of that hesitation, however, was the thought of being impregnated by Orion and the potential changes such a union might bring. She wasn't naïve enough to believe it would be like any ordinary Spirit Beast pregnancy.
