The wedding went smoothly and the gift Gideon gave Rebecca at the end was the highlight for most people. But for Rebecca it was the fact that Gideon has finally admitted his love for her. Although she knew this well since high school, they were holding back because of various reasons. Now, there was no longer a need to.
When the ceremony was over, Gideon directly took Rebecca to a place he'd prepared personally for. This was going to be their love nest from now on.
The place was a flying piece of land. Hidden by an illusion formation, floating via formations as well and protected using formations. Gideon had been using formations frequently here on Earth. In the other world, he'd noIn the other world, he would not even have time to prepare a formation plate because the fighting was too hectic.
Now was the time when formations shined.
The island was just five kilometers. At the very center was a house that was designed by a modern architect and constructed by Gideon following the specifications. Of course, as a master of the 6 arts, constructing a house was but a child's play.
It was highly sophisticated. The power supply naturally were formations. Water and light were all through formations. Everything was powered by formations.
This was a 1 bedroom, 1 kitchen, 1 living room, and 1 bathroom house. It was a two story building yet it contained only those specifications. The bedroom was located on the 2nd floor. Next to it was the bathroom. The kitchen and living room were on the ground floor.
Gideon gave Rebecca the tour before taking her to the bedroom. There, Gideon and Rebecca engaged in the most blissful first night as a married couple.
"Deon, what took you so long?"
"I felt that I was finally worthy of you, so I went for it."
"That was all that's stopped you from asking me to be your girlfriend then?" Rebecca asked.
They were cuddling on the bed as Gideon embraced Rebecca while she leaned her back on his chest. Their faces were so close but their conversation took priority.
"It's not a 'just' that. When a man feels he cannot provide well and be worthy of the woman he loves, they would most likely hold off on anything progressing the relationship.
"I never would have been able to overcome my insecurity had I not become powerful enough to protect you, provide for you, and love you without any other concerns other than."
"It's not a
"Why are you men so silly when it comes to these things?"
"It's not silly. After all, we grow up being trained to be breadwinners, to be responsible for the life of the family. To be the one responsible for those under the same roof. That kind of training isn't something that can easily be brushed off like that.
"It's the same with slavery. Because some slaves have been born a slave, they grow up not knowing any other life other than slavery. If you introduce them to freedom, they would still act as if they are slaves. We re also like that. We are slaves to the most ancient code of conduct for men. To be the pillar of a household. The one responsible for other's lives. To be the provider, protector, and cornerstone."
"Is it really so complicated? To us, it's not. It's even easier than ABC, however, to achieve it we do need time. To find the courage, would need even more time, and to finally decide to face it all, would take even more time. If I wasn't confident you'd marry me, I never would have brought up marriage in the first place."
"Is that so? Thank you for trying so hard." Rebecca kissed Gideon's lips and he reciprocated that kiss.
As a man, stimulus like this always resulted in more than just kisses. Gideon's hands started getting itchy. His hand ran from Rebecca's thigh to her waist, then he kissed her so passionately as to make her forget about anything else. Then his hands started to move up towards the beautiful mountains of Ararat. Rebecca felt that and twitched but she remembered, "This man is my husband!" she relaxed and let herself go as well. She took Gideon's head and grabbed his hair to kiss him even more aggressively. Gideon's hands were gently caressing every part of Rebecca it can reach. Rebecca was also feeling his gentleness and couldn't help but be even more aggressive with her kisses. It was as if she was marking her territory and making it known to herself that these lips were hers and hers alone.
Feeling that touching her with clothes on was unsatisfactory, Gideon exerted a bit of force to tear her shirt apart. Her brazier was also broken and her chest lay bare in front of him.
"It's beautiful. You're beautiful!"
Gideon couldn't help but admire her white, supple, and smooth skin. He then admired closely, her breasts that fit just right, into his hands. Not too small, and yet not excessively big.
Rebecca did not care, she kept kissing him and not letting go. As if making up for lost times when they could have kissed a lo already. In her mind, "Damn, the world for making men out to be heavily laden with responsibility! You took my precious high school romance away from me!" as she continued to eat Gideon's lips. Her breathing was heavy as she was unused to breathing through her nose purposefully.
"Breathe through your nose, Becca."
"I'm trying!"
"Shall we take a break?"
"A break?! Take a break and I'll break your third leg! You hear me?!"
"…" Gideon was flabbergasted. Is this still the calm and collected Rebecca he knew?
Gideon gave up his resistance and let Rebecca do as she would.
Soon, she grew tired of kissing him, and so she also began touching him allover. She also tore her shirt using her own enhanced physique. Then she admired Gideon's well-toned muscles. Then she started slobbering his chest.
"Hm." Gideon couldn't help but utter a moan. This couldn't escape Rebecca's notice and she took note of the spot she was just working on before proceeding to examine every nook and cranny before taking note of where he felt good.
When she was done with that, she left the chest area and slowly went for the nether regions. Unbuckling his belt and unzipping his zipper, Rebecca's eyes feasted on the sight before her. This was a gorgeous combination thickness, length, shape, and complexion.
"I wouldn't mind being ravaged by this beast every night!" She mumbled under her breath.
"Don't worry, I'll thoroughly do so." Gideon whispered in her ear. She was not expecting a reply but when he did, she was flustered and blushed to a little tomato.
They continued this foreplay until it was time for Gideon to reciprocate. He was already ready since the start, but he couldn't neglect the proper order of things.
He also started tasting the sweet fruit of marriage. Then he tasted the aromatic juices of the spring where life is birthed before uncontrollable moans of pleasure rang inside the room for 5 minutes straight.
The techniques and the stamina involved couldn't be matched by mere mortals. And so, Rebecca was losing her mind from just this foreplay which to her had already become a main course meal! She had already orgasmed twice without telling Gideon, but it was not like Gideon couldn't notice that. He must also enjoy seeing her like that so they continued.
When she couldn't take it anymore and wanted to reciprocate, she pushed Gideon down as he let her force transfer to his body to let her do as she pleased. This time, Rebecca did not dally, she took out his well-natured rod of pleasure and started to stimulate it with penetrative seggs. The flowing spring dew ran wild on the base of the rod and the pleasure it brought her to that euphoric feeling she already felt multiple times now. Gideon also encouraged her by releasing well suppressed moans of pleasure.
Gideon found that he was truly being squeezed wonderfully by Rebecca's superb technique. Even though just now, the spring dew had been contaminated by red flowing sap. She was a virgin after all.
Simple vaginal hymen breaking couldn't possibly hurt Rebecca so much with her enhanced constitution. So they proceeded with intense, very intense, to extremely intense seggs. When it was time for the squeezed-out strike of a million soldiers, Gideon did not bother taking out his rod and instead proceeded with surpassing extreme intensity to ultimately move as if to thrust his rod into tomorrow!
Rebecca couldn't take anymore and simply spasmed as no voice came out of her wide opened mouth.
Gideon was not done just yet. He turned Rebecca around and he started pounding on her to release more pleasure from his rod of pleasure.
It was only in the dawn of the next morning that they both stopped. Heavy panting could be heard inside the entire house.
"H-How was it?"
"Stop talking. Let's rest. Come here."
Yes, ma'am." Rebecca had asked for a cuddle as she fell asleep out of exhaustion. Gideon indulged her and complied. They both slept to the next day.
…
In another part of the world where desert was all you could see; a certain herald held a baby in his hand before the baby cried in pain and soon turned silent as its body turned to char. Oddly, the baby had slowly turned to red bloody mist before being absorbed by the herald into his body.
This was a herald of the Canaanite deity, Molech. The ability he had received from his patron god was the ability to become stronger the more child sacrifices he'd offered.
"Ah, that intoxicating feeling of strength and power. I want more!" He disappeared into the night after turning his gaze into what lay after him.
A bloody field full of corpses. Adult men and women were simply killed by tearing them from limb to limb, while there were no babies corpses to be found. This was a village's nursery. A place where child birth and care was conducted for the locals.
However, today, they were made into sacrifices for the god that this herald served. Looking for the next fix he could find, he started to travel towards the big cities. His greed clearly shown in his eyes.
…
Gideon and Rebecca woke up still cuddling each other. Gideon was not the least bit tired, while Rebecca had to take breaks in between sessions.
This honeymoon session was simply too intense!
However, Rebecca being Gideon's herald was constantly receiving minute strands of energy from Gideon which improved her constitution, thus, increasing her recovery rate explosively.
As Gideon wasn't a god of anything. Not embodying specific laws of nature and of the physical and metaphysical, Rebecca also became a clean slate. If she handles the memories she received of magic from Gideon and surpasses it, she could be heralded as a goddess of magic on Earth, like many others in different pantheons.
Rebecca was given access to the flying island created by Gideon. The formation to control it was also impressed on her soul. This was a safety protocol Gideon set so she wouldn't be hindered by anything while trying to enter and exit the island. After all, any family member locked out from their home would feel bitter and resentful.
Gideon wanted to avoid that.
After their session, Gideon taught Rebecca some advanced magic application. One of then would be emission and multicasting.
With Gideon's understanding of magic being so deeply integrated in his everyday life, ordinary mortals wouldn't be able to notice or even perceive it. After Rebecca learned it, she found that magic was indeed something so broad that it was present in all supernatural practices.
Gideon explained, "Magic is manipulating reality and bending it to your will using a source of energy. Right now, your source of energy comes from me through our connection as patron god and herald, however, once you reach a certain level, you'll be free from this and become your own source of energy, also like me.
"So, continue to practice exercising your will in everything. Be it eating, sleeping, and the most trivial things you do. From now on, that is the purpose behind each and every action you take."
"Okay. Deon, I have a question."
"Yes?"
"You said on our wedding day that you are a god, but then how are you a god when you clearly are flesh and bones?" Rebecca knew the fundamentals taught by the gods through Deborah. She remembered her saying that even YHWH was unable to directly interfere in the human world because they were purely spiritual. Spirits could not interact with the physical without a medium in between. That's why there were shamans, prophets, saints and saintess and oracles who received the god's instructions to do their bidding.
So Rebecca's question was a valid and crucial one.
"Hm. To answer it briefly, I am able to exist as a divine being with a physical body, because I have yet ascended. Plus, because of the Sacrosanctum Concillium Vasis Dei being opened by the Divine Realm on Earth, mortals now have a chance to obtain godhood through accumulation and training.
"That's why, if you master magic to a certain point, you'll find your divinity under the Sacrosanctum Concillium Vasis Dei and obtain it. That's why, I can still keep my physical body and flesh even though I am a divine being already. Once I ascend in this state, I would have to leave my body to become dust and enter the Divine Realm among the gods." However, Gideon did not continue his thoughts on it. After all, he knew a way to keep his physical body while exercising his divinity.
"I still don't quite fully grasp it but I do understand that if I do as you said, I'll be able to stand next to you for a very long time, right?"
"That's right." Gideon chuckled at Rebecca's obviously fishing for answers cutesy question.
Like this, they stayed in the Flying Island for two more months and hurriedly came home after a great discovery.
They had conceived a child!
…
"Really?!"
"This is indeed a cause for celebration! Shall we celebrate?!"
"Son, good job!"
"Brother… are you going to replace me with your child now?" Gideon couldn't help but pat Deborah's head as he explained, "Who's ever going to replace you? Our child will be the one who'll rely on you and the one you would dote on from now on. Just like how you fawn on me and I dote on you, right?"
"Really?"
"Yes, really!"
"Okay! I'll take care of him like you did me!"
"That's the spirit, Squirt."
The family had been jubilant despite their absence of a few months. They also noticed that Rebecca had been acting differently, albeit, minutely, but they still noticed it.
The Johnsons Enterprise was making headlines every time they auction items made by Jane's workshop. Hearing this, Gideon figured it was time to teach Jane another formation. Something that would be the main income generating project of Johnsons Forging Technologies: Limited use Magic Equipment.
This was a common marketing strategy. Provide a powerful boost for cheaper yet make it so that they would come back for more by making the material less durable.
With Gideon's level on formations, he was able to create something that would definitely limit the material's durability with each use. Preferably only after 3 uses. More durable items would be introduced later. This will also be his strategy to encourage the heralds to destroy dungeons instead of keeping them, by making the items from dungeon core materials.
"Three birds, one stone." Gideon chuckled. He proceeded with teaching Jane, procuring materials through Deborah, and having Rebecca process the necessary steps to secure the items before auctioning them.
This was a process that had become routinely familiar for the four of them. Of course, the Musashi Clan received the swords they were promised every time they were made. And when they requested for their allies, they would be given as a form of support for the vassal to become stronger.
In time, the Musashi Clan really did rise as one of the strongest clans among all organizations in the city.
They handled security for Johnsons Enterprise mainly, but they still stay connected with other powerful families. This created a wide range of network for them to the benefit of Johnsons Enterprise.
When they returned, Gideon cast a secret spell on Rebecca based on his Divinity which made it unbreakable to those below the level of Supreme Divinity.
This was to protect the baby and Rebecca at the same time while doing her job, as she insisted. Trusting fully on Gideon's ability to protect them both. This protection also served as nourishment for the child inside her womb. Ascertaining that when it does come out, it'll be healthy and incredibly powerful for a baby.
