The dragon's harem

“It’s you!” Plum pointed at Gelena and cried, “Arad, get her!” She flew forward, swinging a fist.

PUFF! Plum’s fist landed on Gelena’s face with almost no damage at all. Everyone looked at her as she looked at her own fist, all of her power had disappeared from her body.

“What did happen to me?” She looked at Arad but immediately realized what happened to her on her own. “Yog! When I find you!” She screamed.

She flew to Arad and sat on his head like she did in those good old days, “She turned me into a pseudo-world tree, just like Yggdrasil. It’ll take me hundreds of thousands of years to reach her power, but now it takes all of my power to expand my roots.”

Mary looked at Gelena for a second and sighed, “If Arad isn’t killing you then we don’t care.” She went with others to speak with Aella and the rest.

Arad remained with Kali and Gelena beside the massage area.

“Master…what should I do?” Gelena asked with a worried face. She can’t just sit here doing nothing, it made her feel like he’ll kill her at any second.

“Rest in my stomach for now.” Arad sighed and she looked at him with a worried face.

“What do you…” He instantly swallowed her whole and sent her into his stomach where she landed right in the middle of the vampire’s church. A vampire nun approached her, “Welcome home, SISTER!” She grabbed her by the hand and helped her stand, guiding her toward the holy altar where they had a large statue of Arad followed by a statue of all of his wives.

The nun looked at Arad’s statue, “Who are those? Answer wrong and I’ll smack you on the head.”

“Arad Orio…” CRACK! The nun immediately smacked her on the head with a large book, “Those are your gods, for all I know only Zia had been permitted to directly address them by name. For your offense, you’ll have to clean the whole place.” She pointed at a large bucket and a mop to the side.

Back at the bath, Arad sat on the ground facing Kali, “That void crack which opened just now. It was a bit strange.”

“It was opened by Yog, of course, it’ll be strange. When it comes to magic no one is better than her.” Kali waved her hands.

“She is the goddess of magic.” Arad’s eyes shifted to Kali’s face, “You also have some magic, don’t you?”

Kali giggled, “Want to see it?” She lifted one of her hands up, opened her palm, and pressed downward.

Arad could feel a heavy weight fall on his back, this wasn’t gravity but something else. “This power…” He growled.

Kali lifted another hand and put it beneath the first one. With her palms closing on each other Arad started to feel another pressure pushing on him from the ground. It was like he was stuck between the ceiling and the floor, getting crushed…

“Do you know why I have six arms?” She moved her other four arms and surrounded the same, creating a cube, “It’s so I can crush you from all directions.”

Arad could feel the pressure coming from above, below, behind, and in front of him, from his right and from his left, but it didn’t feel solid, but quite soft, like hands.

Arad could then see it, a titanic golden Kali embracing him in her palms as if he were a small mouse.

Kali opened her arms and released Arad from her grasp. He fell on the ground panting, it had taken a lot of his power just to keep himself from getting squeezed like a lemon. “That’s just a wisp of my apparition, my divine avatar didn’t even manifest to take a form yet.”

“Couldn’t you just kill anyone with such power?” Arad gasped, lying on the ground to catch his breath.

“Of course, I’m the goddess of destruction. There is nothing that I can’t destroy.” She stood, walking toward him, and sat on his stomach, “Say, want me to show you something hideous? The truly scary part about destruction?”

“Destruction kills a lot of people, most of the time there is nothing good about something getting destroyed either. But that doesn’t mean it’s hideous.” He replied and she laid over him, “Do you know why I’m here?”

Arad sighed, “You’re here for me.”

She reached down with one of her hands, “I already talked to your wives, and showed them why is destruction so hideous, that why none of them is against me.”

“Why are you being so cryptic about it?” Arad sighed and she looked back at the others. Eris waved her hand at them, “I’m a goddess, my power goes far beyond what mortal might understand. I want to be here for two things.” She looked at Arad’s face.

“I’ve been alone for over five thousand years, that’s a record time for a goddess to remain a virgin, don’t you think.” She licked his cheek, “And you look just like the man I needed.”

Arad nodded, “That’s the silly mortal answer, what’s the other reason?”

Kali started wiggling over him like a worm with a large smile on her face. “That’s why I love you! You aren’t as stupid as everyone else.” She looked at his eyes, “If I’m Destruction, there is Creation out there. I want to be with you since I know she’ll one day make it to your lap as well.”

“How do you know she is a woman? It could be a god of creation for all we know.” Arad sighed and Kali giggled, “Of course, I asked the sisters of fate. And they told me quite a lot.” She stood up and looked at Arad with a smile, “I’ll show you the ugly part about Destruction and why we need to find Creation. I already showed this to your wives.”

“When?” He looked at her and she waved her hands, “I already destroyed that timeline. This will be…quite the experience for you. But don’t worry everything will be fine.”

She clapped her hands together and a vein bulged on Arad’s head. He glared at Eris who was in the bath.

“Arad?” Eris gasped, but in the next moment, Arad was lifting her up by the neck. Everyone stood in shock, but they were too late, Arad ripped Eris’s head off and swallowed her soul. The shocked Matilda and Selina ended up getting stepped on and crushed, Merida tried to talk to Arad but she ended up twisted with Kino like a piece of paper.

In less than five minutes Arad had killed everyone in the bath except Kali who was sitting there with a smile on her face, “I can destroy anything, even the immaterial. People’s feelings, relations, interests, reality, matter, even hearts, souls, and will, anything can be broken.” She stood and walked toward Arad with her body dripping with divine magic.

She touched his chest as he stood there like a soulless statue. “You loved them, I know…but now you only have me. How about it? Hideous, isn’t it?” She flicked her fingers and everything returned to normal, everyone seemed to still be alive. “I destroyed that timeline so you don’t have to worry about it.”

She grabbed his flesh with her hand and squeezed it, “I showed them all, one by one, and destroyed the timelines after. That’s why you won’t remember it. They all knew what I could do, what destruction really was…” She reached forward and kissed him on the cheek.

Kali looked at Aella, “Even if I were to drag you to bed now…no do it here in front of them, they won’t oppose. But, I do respect them and their wishes, so this will have to wait until later on.” She let go of his flesh and waved her hand, “Aella, can we speak for a second?”

Aella stood and went with her to Arad, “You…showed him the destruction. How did it end up?”

Kali giggled, “He killed all of you in minutes. He now has at least some understanding of the extent of my power.” Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

“How is someone supposed to counter such a divine portfolio?” Arad asked and Aella giggled, “That’s the fun part…”

Kali shook her head, “You don’t counter it, you just can’t. That is why destruction is a primordial concept. To block a destruction attack, you must destroy that attack, which only makes destruction stronger, that’s a perpetual cycle that you can’t break.”

“How many primordial concepts are out there? Void and time aren’t ones, right?” Arad asked and Kali kissed him again, “You’re my man. They indeed aren’t primordial concepts as they can still be broken, distorted or played with.”

“You have destruction which is me. Creation which should be out there somewhere, the fate which is held by the triplets of fate. Existence which is with the current overgod, it’s the key that allows this universe to exist. Infinity is lost outside the universe. There are many more…some that even I don’t know about.” Kali leaned on Arad and gave Aella a smug face.

“How come you don’t know all of them? Aren’t the primordial concept of destruction?” Arad looked at her and Kali smiled, “You’re a void dragon, how come you don’t know where are the other void dragons and how many there are?”

She this time leaned on Aella, “I was born five thousand years ago and I inherited this concept from my dead father Asura. He might’ve known, but I sadly don’t.”

“Then I must find them all?” Arad sighed, “I’m sure we’ll know more when we find them.” Aella looked at Arad and then at Kali, “But we’ll focus on finding Creation first.”

Arad then looked at them as if he realized something, “Wait…you said there is infinity, what about Hati’s eternity? Aren’t they the same thing?”

“Hati’s eternity is a fragment of infinity, which means we won’t find an intact infinity primordial concept but we’ll have to gather its pieces and give it to someone.” She looked back at Astrid and Frida.
