The dragon's harem

“The OG{OverGod}.” Nyar stood straight, taking a deep breath, “Cain Lisworth, the one standing above the gods, it’s been a while.”

“Yo, Nyar.” Cain waved his hand, “You look as scrawny as ever. I guess taking Zaleria’s kick to the heart was more damaging than I expected.” He stopped, opening his burning blue eyes. “Don’t you think it was a stupid idea to enter my world?”

Nyar giggled, “I know that it was a risky move before I fully recovered my power. But I must find out, where you are hiding AO’s core.” He extended his hand forward, “I’m certain you aren’t using it, and I already confirmed by being close to that human Isdis. Arad doesn’t have the core either.”

“You know I won’t tell you.” Cain giggled, “But you can guess on your own after I kick you outside this world.” Cain started dancing, swinging his frail and thin arms around, one more after another, Lilia started singing for him with a thousand lyres and flutes spinning around her body.

Suddenly, Cain’s muscles bulged up, swelling to that of a large man as his body inflated, sizing up to a giant with a body looking as if it was chizzled out of stones. He stood two meter-tall {6’7”} “I don’t want you inside the world, get out.” With just those words, Nyar felt an immeasurable pressure on his soul. The world itself was rejecting him, trying to forcefully eject him outside.

“I see…” Nyar giggled, “If you’re trying to kick me out instead of killing me, that means you aren’t certain you can kill me.” He looked at Cain with a grin, “You’ve grown weak, old fool.”

“You know why it took me a while to notice and come here?” Cain smiled, “Because I thought you were just a powerful abomination, and little girl Vasilissa can deal with you. This isn’t your true body, it’s just a remote-controlled doll.”

“Heh? Do you think so? Try to act strong and wise, you can’t kill me, and that’s a fact.” Nyar laughed and Cain laughed with him.

“Vasilissa, rip him apart. Just as I can fight outside the world, he can fight here and won’t be immediately rejected. This body of his is just a doll, destroying it will harm his true body, but it’ll never deal enough damage to kill him.” Cain kept a tight grip on Nyar, the moment Nyar lost focus, Cain would immediately be able to kick him outside the multiverse for several years. freewebnσvel.cøm

Vasilissa and Lilia charged at Nyar, now they got a clear path to victory rather than just punching harder than last time. Make Nyar panic and lose focus at all costs, that alone would be enough to win them this battle.

The battle lasted over a minute, and Nyar kept holding his own by drawing even more power from his true body outside the multiverse. Cain started to realize that something was off, the way Nyar dodged Vasilissa’s attacks and Lilia’s spells, he was focusing on something else besides staying in the world.

“The bastard got parallel cognition!” Cain yelled, “He’s trying to summon his abomination army, knock him out immediately.” Nyar wasn’t sitting still and recovering for the past thousands of years, he was planning and growing his skills. Parallel Cognition wasn’t a skill or a type of magic, it’s a biological trait, having two minds thinking at once for a single body. Nyar had given birth to a second brain inside his true body. That secondary brain can act on its own, unlike Arad’s Gemini which allows him to split the abilities of his one brain. This power explains why this mere doll holds enough power to rival that of Nyar’s true body while still allowing him to survive being killed here.

“Fine, then I guess it’s okay to go all out.” Vasilissa jumped back, opening her arms. The black hole above them rumbled, falling and shrinking enough to fit in her left palm.

“You asked where is AO’s core?” Vasilissa growled, a white ball of light emerging on her right palm, blasting enough pressure to start pushing Nyar around. That pressure felt like gravity but in reverse, pushing things away from the white orb instead of pulling them in.

“A black hole absorbs matter and erases it; a white hole ejects matter and creates it. When those two things clashed, the explosion caused the start of this whole world.” She pulled her hands closer, and Nyar gasped, jumping at her as fast as he could.

“Got you!” Cain clenched his hands and Nyar froze in place, feeling his very existence getting ripped out of the fabric of the world itself. He glared at Vasilissa, “I again couldn’t guess it even with how obvious it was! If the core isn’t with Arad, it’ll still be stuck inside the womb that birthed him!”

As the black and white holes got mixed, they turned into a ball of strange energy, pulsing violently with power. Even Nyar and Cain couldn’t tell how it looked, their brains couldn’t even comprehend it. The only two who could see and understand it were Vasilissa who created it, and Lilia who could tap into the forbidden knowledge of the world.

Vasilissa fired the ball at Nyar and he screamed, cursing her as his body and everything around him disappeared into nothing. Silently and without making a single flash, he was no more.

“I can’t tell, did you kill that doll or did it get ejected out of the world?” Cain looked at Vasilissa and asked.

“I don’t know either.” Vasilissa sighed, “This power isn’t mine; I can’t fully understand it. She looked at Cain, you know I’m only a temporary vessel.”

“I know.” Lilia looked at them with a smile, “Care to know what happened to him?” She floated toward them with a smile.

“If it’s a forbidden knowledge, you can keep it to yourself.” Cain sighed, tapping his painful back. “I must go back home.”

“Go rest old man.” Vasilissa waved her hand at him and turned toward Lilia, “Now this is over.” She took a deep breath.

“Then, see you later!” Lilia waved her hand, about to teleport away but Vasilissa grabbed her by the hair. “Not so fast.”

Lilia started sweating, and suddenly felt Vasilissa’s claws digging into her scalp, “Why do I smell Arad’s blood on your hand?”

Lilia was in trouble.

****

The carriage finally came to a stop inside the church’s garden. Mary looked out and called the nuns, ordering them to lock the church’s iron gate. This had never happened in the past century, but now, the church was closed to the public.

Arad walked out of the carriage and followed Mary inside the church where the nuns and priests were waiting, the moment they saw him, they all gasped. Not once in their lives had

they seen someone so huge.

“Dear Arad.” Mary looked at Arad with a smile, waving her hand toward the pedestal beneath Yog’s massive statue. “Please take a seat there, I’ll come to heal once I collect some holy

water.”

Arad looked at Yog’s statue, strangely, this one didn’t resemble Yog at all. Instead of the short and rough cutting board with twin tails, this statue looked like a fine woman standing ten feet tall with more curves than a ball.

“Where is Yog’s statue?” Arad looked at the nuns, “I don’t see it anywhere.”

“That’s it.” One of the nuns pointed at Yog’s statue with a worried face. Mary had just pointed

it to Arad, are his eyes injured or something?

“No…this isn’t her.” Arad looked at the nun with a confused face. For a moment there, he thought that he was getting scammed by Lilia pretending to be Yog, but then quickly remembered that those people saw her in the sky.

“You saw her in the sky! Since when does that halfling look like this?” He was genuinely

confused.

“The goddess is quite sensitive about her look, so we depict her the way she wants.” One of the priests approached Arad, fixing his glasses.

At that moment, Yog’s voice boomed in his head, [Arad, I’m back.] She had returned and was sitting inside her room patching her wounds. Her whole body was covered in scratches and gashes, her magic fluctuated and her skin was bruised to no end.

^Where did you?^ Arad asked and he got an immediate reply, [Dealt with some business. Don’t worry about it, I only ended up fighting a rabid animal. Ouch! Ouch! My butt still hurts!]

^I wonder what kind of animal it was.^ Arad smiled as he sat on one of the church’s benches. [Your Mom.] She burst laughing and Arad sighed, ^If you’re here to make fun of me, it would’ve been better if you didn’t return.^ He looked disappointed.

[You seem to be in my church. First, try to use earth magic to create a statue of mine. I’ll keep a mental image inside your head. This should help you master both control and precision.] ^Fine, I’ll be sitting here for a few days anyway. How much time did you spend outside?^ He

looked up.

[I didn’t spend any time. Each world has its own flow of time. Less than one second passed in your old world and a few minutes passed in the world that I went into. Survive this world and I’ll arrange for you to meet a time dragon to learn about time magic.]
