Jayr POV - Earth, Sanctuary - 1991
A few months passed since I returned and things have been both peaceful and hectic.
Peaceful because no God, their followers, or some evil mastermind pulled out some world-ending bullshit, or some great evil plan for world conquest, and neither I had some run-ins with some other Champions or went for another adventure to some new Universe, but I did visit the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Universe and the Arifureta Universe to check how everyone is doing.
Things were also hectic, a few days after Kharna's birth, all my family came here not only to see my little buddle of joy but also to prepare for Shaina and Milo's wedding which will be hosted here in the Sanctuary.
Of course, as soon as grandfather Jayr saw me, he started to throw one Great Horn after the other with both his arms, as I healed him quite a while ago, with enough power to blow away half a galaxy scolding me for Saori's state, while at the same time, he telepathically praised me for scoring such beauties and even our own Goddess, something that, in his words, all Saint, Gods, and such tried to do countless times but in the end, all failed, that he is proud of me, and that he can't wait to spend some time with his great-grandchildren.
Meanwhile, Dad, Mom, Shaina, Geist, Uncle Enrico, Aunt Perla, Uncle Domenico, Grandmother Maria, and Grandfather Carlo were all gushing over little Kharna, with Tio, Saori, Seika, and Eri, and of course, Mom quickly asked Seika and Eri when they are going to have a baby, making them reply that for now both didn't plan to have a kid yet as our hands are already full with Kharna despite the fact that there are 4 of us taking care of her.
The reason for that is quite simple, little Kharna inherited quite a lot more from us than we thought, and she is way stronger than a normal baby or even a normal human being as she can pulverize a rock with the simple grip of her small fingers, and from time to time, she transforms into a baby dragon with pure white scales that breathes fire, ice, wind, water, darkness, wind, and very rarely small black holes.
After that came Shaina and Milo's wedding where the whole Sanctuary actually joined to help with the preparation and then joined the celebrations as it was the wedding of a Gold Saint, whose ceremony is hosted by Athena herself, where she'll bless the couple, and the Great Pope who will take care of all the necessary procedures.
After the wedding things returned somewhat normal with taking care of Kharna, spending time with the girls, visiting the family, smithing some scum, and helping and healing some people I met on the way.
But that calm was quickly broken when Saori entered labor a few days before my 18th birthday, as her Divine Cosmo started to get out of control, so much that natural disasters started to appear all over the Universe forcing me to focus on quickly contain her Cosmo with my Spiral Cosmo while Seika takes care of Saori.
The birth took quite a while and with Saori's contractions her Cosmo spiked to levels never felt before, in fact, it was more powerful than when she dealt the finishing blow to Hades, but soon the situation calms down as a baby cry is heard, and a new strong Spiral Cosmo with small traces of Divinity is unleashed coming from my and Saori's child, Galen Pucci, who has Saori's facial features and skin tone, and my eye and hair color.
And now, a few days later as I'm cradling the small Galen in my arms with Saori besides as she has Kharna in her arms, while Eri and Tio are resting in our room, and I'm singing the true classic masterpiece Makafushigi Adventure, the first Dragon Ball opening, to keep them entertained.
Then all of a sudden, something truly crazy happens as some family members arrive at the outskirts of the Sanctuary, and they aren't my family members, no, they are Saori's family members, her true family members, the Olympians Gods themselves.
(AN: There will be differences between what you will be reading and the usual Greek mythology simply because I'm using the Saint Seiya Mythos, for example, it is this world canon that Athena is the youngest Goddess, while in the Greek Mythos, she is one of the oldest together with Apollo, Artemis, and Hephaestus... of course with some dose of author bullshit too as I will mold their usual personalities to fit this Universe, like Zeus, he is still a pervert who can't control his dick, but it isn't a total bastard as often depicted in various recent media as this version canonically gave Athena her role as protector of Earth, so it will be closer to the wise, fair, protective, and merciful god of the myth who becomes a piece of shit when angered.)
As soon as I feel their presence just outside the Sanctuary, I gently lay Galen in his brig, sending an encouraging smile to a worried Saori, I rush out and teleport to greet them and see what they want.
Once in front of the Sanctuary's entrance, I see all of them calmly walking toward me, stopping just in front of the Sanctuary borders.
There are all 10 of them, and the pair leading them couldn't be more obvious, a handsome and tall man with a stern face, long blonde hair, and cold blue-grey eyes, his Divine Cosmo is the strongest I have ever felt in this world until now, and more surprisingly, I feel a level of power equal to that of Antispiral, this means that he is a multiversal level threat, and more important, he is Saori, Athena's father Zeus, the God of Sky, the King of Gods, and my future father-in-law.
(Image Here - Zeus)
Standing next to him there is a woman who is just as beautiful as Saori, she has long cold purple hair a shade very similar to Saori's, with green eyes and a haughty expression on her face, her Cosmo is just slightly weaker than Zeus which makes her also a multiversal level opponent, and seeing that she is the only one standing beside him, it is clear that she is Hera, the Goddess of Marriage and Childbirth, the Queen of Gods, Zeus' sister and wife, Athena's true mother as in this Universe she gave birth to Athena as she didn't come out of Zeus' head, and more important, my future mother-in-law.
(Image Here - Hera)
Right behind them, there are what can be considered my future aunts and uncles-in-law.
The first that catches my attention is someone familiar, the possessed Julian Solo, basically, Poseidon, whom I still have to hold my end of the deal we have reached at the end of the Holy War.
Next to him, there is another beautiful woman with long auburn hair and green eyes, and from the warm smile on her face, the impressive size of her bust, and her warm and enveloping strong Cosmo that is equal if not slightly stronger than that of Poseidon and Hades but even that she is leagues away from Hera and Zeus, from what I sense from her Cosmo it is clear that she is Hestia, the Goddess of Hearth, Home, and Hospitality.

And right next to her there is another woman just as beautiful with very long silver hair and bright silver eyes, from her position, it is clear that she can only be Demeter, the Goddess of the Harvest and Agriculture.
(Image Here - Demeter)
Right behind them, there are those who can be only considered my future brothers and sisters-in-law.
Starting with the oldest ones who are walking right behind the Poseidon and the others, Apollo, Artemis, and Hephaestus who are also easily recognizable.
Apollo is quite easy to recognize as he is a man with fire-like auburn hair and blue eyes, his Cosmo is as hot and splendent as the sun itself, making it obvious that he is the God of the Sun, Light, Music, Medicine, Archery and a bunch of other things.
(Image Here - Apollo)
The same can be said for his twin Artemis, a woman with long straight lime colored hair and amber eyes, her Cosmo is more subdued compared to her twin but just as strong, as she is the Goddess of the Hunt, Forests, and Hills, the Moon, and Archery.
(Image Here - Artemis)
And lastly, there is Hephaestus, who compared with all the other Gods looks quite plain with his spiky orange hair, and light brown eyes, but his Cosmo is anything but plain, just as hot and strong as Apollo's one but with a twist that seems to lean more on creation, something expected by the God of Fire and Metalworking.
(Image Here - Hephaestus)
And behind them, there are the youngest among Athena's siblings, those that were born just slightly before her.
One is a handsome young man with mid-length green hair and eyes and a mischievous expression on his face, his Cosmo is as immense as the other deities, but it seems very agitated almost hyperactive, making me realize that he is Hermes, the God of Trade, Eloquence, and Messenger of the Gods.

Right next to him, there is another young man, he has long pink hair and eyes, whose Cosmo is a lot more mellow compared to all the deities present, but is in no way any weaker, and moreover from the chalice of everlasting wine in his hand, it is clear that he is Dionysus, the God of Wine and Fertility.

And last, is a gorgeous woman with long weavy blonde hair and green eyes, it is clear that she is Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Eternal Youth.

If you exclude Hades who is dead, and Ares who was locked in Tartarus for his cruelty but with the destruction of the Underworld he and many beings were able to briefly escape, luckily he and many others were then sealed by the Biblical God and sent into Hell.
Anyway, once they are close enough, I politely greet them, "Welcome to the Sanctuary. To what I own the pleasure of your presence?"
Hera loudly snorts as she seems to dislike me for some reason, but Zeus calmly explains, "It is simple I'm here to congratulate my daughter, and of course, also to see my grandson..."
Then after a slight pause, he adds, "...But also to know the father of the child, this new god that appeared out of nowhere..."
While saying that, Zeus uses his Divine Will to put some pressure on my body, but this is something I can easily shrug off.
Facing the pressure of his Divine Will, I simply continue to smile, and at the same time, I use my Divine Will to push back his and say, "Well, you are welcome as long as you don't have any second intention, because if you are here to harm my family... I'll destroy you!"
And with those last words, my Divine Will briefly bursts out, making everyone, but Zeus and Hera, take a few step back.
Zeus simply smiles and says, "Not bad..." while Hera once again snorts out loud, then I invite everyone to follow me and instantly notice that Apollo seems somewhat offended by what I said or did, but he also seemed to look down on me as soon as he saw me, so he could simply be a prideful douchebag.
I calmly lead them toward Athena's temple, as we walk, I try to do some small talk with the divine guests starting with the one I already had some experience with, "Poseidon, when this is over, you can start gathering those who wish to follow you and prepare. It's almost time I fulfill my side of the agreement we reached a few years ago."
The possessed Julian replies, "Oh... I have to admit that this is a lot faster than I expected..." which makes Hestia ask, "So it's true... you're really going, brother?"
Poseidon looks at his sister and replies, "Of course, you all know my ambition, desires, and hopes... I waged many Holy Wars to fulfill them but was always stopped. Now I finally have a chance to grasp what I always longed for, and now I can do it without harming any of your interests. It's natural that I'll take it."
Zeus nods and says, "Both you and Hades always desired to overthrow me and rule more than the domains you were granted and it always ended in failure, Hades most recently paid the ultimate price for that, and now all the souls are led to the biblical god's afterlife. But that's also fine, the Ages of Myths is long over, the era where we Gods ruled over humanity, watched over and played with them as we liked... Like I said before, if you want to go, you're free to do so."
After that, we fall in a awkward silence for a few moments as we continue to walk toward our destination but that silence is then broken by Hermes making some jokes with Dionysus, Aphrodite openly flirting with every male, Apollo throwing some verbal jabs at me while Artemis chides him for his rudeness,
Meanwhile, I use my Spiral Cosmo to hide our presence from the common people, guards, and Saint all over the Sanctuary after all having 10 Gods casually walking around can easily cause some panic.
The reason why we are walking instead of teleporting there is quite simple, I reinforced Athena's barrier that prevents all forms of teleportation by infusing my Spiral Cosmo in it making it even stronger so that no one can overpower the barrier but those who have been granted the permission to do so, basically the Great Pope and the Gold Saint.
Finally, we reach the Athena's Temple and Saori is waiting in front of the Athena Colossus with Galen in her arms, and soon I stand by her side as she greets our guest, "Father, Mother... I have to say that I didn't expect your presence."
Hearing that, Zeus starts to laugh jovially and says, "Hahaha! Please this is a monumental event! Your first child! Something that has never happened until now! It's natural that we all would come to visit him! Especially since, this small child already has traces of Divinity within him, much more than any of the Demi-Gods we sired until now!"
At this point, Hera walks closer and looks lovingly at Galen in Saori's arms and says, "Congratulations my daughter, he is truly a healthy and beautiful boy..." then she looks at me and snorts, "Even if his father is someone like him..."
Saori instantly understands what Hera means and explains, "Mother, Jayr isn't like that... sure he has multiple lovers like father, but that is something we all agreed on. We are all one big family." making Hera reply with a simple "Hmpf!"
Zeus once more says while laughing out loud, "Hahaha! You can't fault him, Hera! He is a man you can't stop a man from admiring beauties and desiring them it is something deeply imprinted in our nature and souls!!"
Then he also moves closer to Galen and starts to make funny faces at him while making some weird sounds which amuse Galen as he starts to happily giggle, this sure throws me off for a few moments, as this is very different from the image of Zeus that I had in my mind, in fact, I was even ready to start a fight at any moment especially seeing Apollo's attitude, but it seems that they all came here only to simply congratulate with Saori.
At one point, Zeus suddenly exclaims, "Ah! I was so busy playing with little Galen that I forgot the basic courtesies! Here let me give you a gift for my grandson!"
After saying that, Zeus raises his hand and a bolt of lightning from the sky falls into his hands, then he starts to mold and shape the lighting into the form of a small creature, and with his Divine Cosmo, he breathes life into it, and says while offering the newly born creature to Galen, "Here, this little one will watch over you, protect you from all harms, and keep you company... his name is Python."
Soon a small cute feathered green serpent with small wings and yellow eyes full of intelligence, curiosity, and affection, slither from Zeus' hand to Galen and starts to warp around his body as Galen hugs him with a happy smile on his face.

After that, the Olympian Gods leave the Sanctuary and most return to Mount Olympus, while Julian is teleported back to where he was before Poseidon hijacked his body, while I and Saori return back home to take care of the babies.
Jayr POV - Jayr's Soulbound Territory - 1991
A few days after that strange family meeting, I'm now watching over my babies as they giggle in their crib as I make some funny faces, one is Kharna, my and Tio's daughter, she has big dark golden eyes, pointed ears, and small tuff of black hair just like her mother, and I'm sure that she is going to turn into a kingdom toppling beauty just like her mother,
And because of that, I'm already considering creating an alternate dimension to banish all the men and women who dare to chase after her, where they will be constantly hunted down by the likes of Freddy Kruger, IT, Jason Voorhees, and many others, with a background soundtrack full of Justin Bieber, Nickleback, One Direction, and everything else that will come to my mind that is able to torture the will and soul of an individual until the only thing that remain is an empty husk.
Beside her, there is her little brother Galen, the child I had with Saori, who is a lot calmer compared to his mischievous big sister, but that doesn't mean that he is a normal baby, while he is physically weaker than Kharna, he is still way stronger than a normal grown adult, but that isn't where he shines the most, no, what he doesn't have in pure physical power, he more than makes up for his frighting intellect.
He has already learned a few words of Greek, Japanese, Italian and English, the languages we speak the most at home, and in fact, he can almost speak some broken senteces, moreover, he already started to experiment with his Spiral Cosmo, creating all kinds of unexpected results, like objects exploding, freezing, cut apart.
And of course, between the two of them, there is Grandpa Zeus' gift, the winged feathered serpent Python who basically became a beloved family pet, he never leaves Galen's side but it seems to be also very fond of everyone in the family, especially Kharna, Tio, Saori, and I, even Geist and Shaina seem to get along well with him.
Of course, as soon as Zeus and the others went away, I quickly checked Python to make sure that he was safe and that there wasn't any nasty surprise.
The result is that Python is totally safe, there isn't any outside influence or time bomb aimed at harming my kids, it is simply a creature created to accompany and protect Galen, and realizing that, I reinforced the natural bond between them using Galen's Spiral Cosmo to evolve Python's Cosmo into Spiral Cosmo, so that not only can Python better protect Galen but also to create a true bond between them.
Soon the two babies and the baby serpent get tired and quickly fall asleep all at the same time, with Kharna and Galen hugging each other and a sleeping Python warped around them to keep them warm.
Seeing that scene I can't help but ask myself once more, 'Really what's up with this affinity between my family and snakes? Saori is Athena's reincarnation, whose sacred animals are the classical owl and surprise, surprise a snake, my big sister Shaina is under the protection of the Ophiuchus constellation, whose name can be translated into "the one who controls the snake", my little sister Geist is even more direct, as she is under the protection of the Serpens constellation, the serpent, another snake, and hell even the Crateris Constellation is mythologically connected to a snake... Let's not forget that Eri's favorite Undead Puppet is the Hydra and that Tio herself is basically a Dragon who can be considered an evolution of a snake... Hell, the only one to not have a connection to snakes is Seika... at least not directly...'
I move out of my villa and look at the change my Soulbound Territory went through.
The first and most important is that a third Seed of Culture appeared, this one is connected to the Vampire Diaries Universe, and of course, this was formed when Nikita was truly recognized as a Woman of Culture.
From this event, I learned that other Champions can't become recognized as Men or Women of Culture as long as they are under the protection of their Blessing, but the same doesn't apply to any individual of the same Universe as them, well, as long as my Blessing is stronger that is, because if it isn't then those people are also "protected" by the Champion's influence.
In these months I also took some time to take care of my Soulbound Territory, not only by growing plants and flowers all around but also by creating a big lake on an empty plot of land, while also building a few guest houses in case Nikita's situation repeats itself, or she wants to invite her family over.
Feeling everything, I can't help but mutter, "Now this place feels kind of empty... The Nymphs are still a very small comminity of a few hundred at most, but I also don't want to bring some random animals here and be forced to create a whole ecosystem to support them as it would be a real pain in the ass... at least not yet, as I'm sure that if I continue to win over other Champions at some point, this place would become as big as a planet... and in that case, it is better to start planning something."
While I am lost in thought, someone hugs me from behind and I instantly realize that it is Eri, so moving my hand over hers I ask, "Eri how is your training going?"
Eri rubs her face on my back and replies, "Pretty well... I was finally able to transform the Shadown Dimension I created into an Undead Realm, where the souls of all the people I kill are sent and slowly turned into undead, moreover, I granted all the undead living there a basic form of sentience that will evolve the more time pass while retaining their absolute loyality to me. My aim is to slowly turn them into fully sentient and loyal beings that will start to worship me as their Goddess, and like Ehit, I'll use their faith to become a true Goddess... a Goddess of Death so that I can stay with you and our family until the end of time..."
As she says that, Eri's hand slowly moves from my stomach to my groin and starts to rub my little brother which instantly reacts and starts to get harder.
I enjoy her gentle touch and say, "You know that you don't have to become a Goddess to stay together forever? You are already biologically immortal thanks to the Restoration Magic that is able to manipulate the time in your body to keep yourself young forever and with Spirit Magic you can deal with any problem that your soul could have for living for too long."
Eri's hands deftly free my little brother from his restraints and then she grabs it with both her hands and starts to quickly tug it as she replies, "It's true, but I... I want to become stronger... to stay by your side and to protect our family when needed... I don't want to be left behind!"
I turn around and kiss Eri on the lips then I say, "I'll never leave you behind... but if you really want to become a Goddess, then I'll support you. But now you have to take care of a more pressing matter..." and with my eyes I point at my hard little brother.
Eri simply smiles brightly, then she gets on her knees then she lightly kiss the tip of my little brother a few times then she starts giving it also a few licks before she wraps her lips around the head and starts to suck on it while her right hand start to massage my stiff staff.
Then she suddenly stopped and stood up, and before I could say anything, she started to run toward the villa while yelling, "Sorry, I promised Saori, Seika, and Tio to just call you and not get a head start... we will waiting in your room!"
Seeing that, I remain stunned on the spot with my exposed hard little brother for a few moments, before a slight smirk forms on my face, and then I rush inside my villa to my girls, of course, I don't forget to raise a soundproof barrier around the kids' room and leave Crateris in its Cratergann Form beside them before that, as I don't want to wake them up because of the rumors or stop in case they wake up and need something, after dealing with that, I fully focus on enjoying my time with the girls.
