Everyone in the temple was stupefied by what Jiutian did. She acted contrary to what Athena and Inanna had done beforehand by "blessing" Adam directly on the lips as a bright light gleamed more from the point of contact between them filling up the entire temple.
She raised her head up steadily with her fingers touching her lips as her cheeks reddened due to this being the first time she had acted as such in front of spectators.
She acted on impulse seeing as how he looked cute when her gaze fell upon him. She had never felt so thrilled in her life. Seeing a cute boy sleeping and a maiden goddess being the one to kiss him, it felt like a fairy tale gone backwards. She secretly hoped she had locked lips a little longer.
"So what did you bestow upon him?" Inanna inquired.
"Isn't that obvious?" Jiutian asked in return.
"She improved his physique." Athena enunciated.
Adam who was just a few minutes ago, a weak looking, slender, scrawny adult but now he had the look of a strapping, well built , muscular young man.
"Lust you are up?" (Athena)
""Eh?!!"" Inanna and Jiutian were dumbfounded upon hearing Athena's words as they exclaimed loudly thinking it was lust's turn to kiss Adam.
Lust ignored them as he stepped towards Adam . Lust placed his right hand on his chest as a red diamond shaped crystal emerged from him.
The crystal was about 0.5 meter in length due to him reducing his height from two meters as he shrinks the spirit core into a two centimeter length crystal.
His appointment here was to transfer his spirit core into the only mortal across the five realms to emit the same frequency as his. Once done, he was to take Adam into the whispering forest to hand over to the dark fairy.
Seeing as how Adam was being carried away by Lust, Athena directed her gaze towards Avalon.
"Lighten up a little, you are the Kelpie Queen so act like one. Do not fret, I believe Adam is the one to achieve the Supreme One's dreams and likewise ours."
"Yes goddess,"
"Once Adam is able to achieve our goals, I'll personally make sure your Ascension gets implemented,"
"Goddess, your kindness knows no bounds." Avalon genuflected impulsively as she responded.
Athena, the one who had always been known to have a stern look on her face smiled as she heard Avalon's words. Maybe she was overwhelmed by the excitement that had been hemmed in her ever since or maybe she was genuinely happy about Avalon's attitude towards her ascension. It could also be that Athena couldn't wait to see how Adam would react to the situation around him once he awakes.
She left the temple and entered into Inanna's flying chariot pulled by two giant sparrows as the golden owl resting on Athena's shoulders turned into an Arctic owl with blue eyes and flew into the clouds.
"Hey? Why did you kissed him? You could have improved his physique by doing what we did."
Inanna who acted as the coachman of the chariot asked Jiutian.
"As expected of the goddess of coitus," Athena remarked.
"Indeed, Unlike a certain goddess, I do not forget a man I want."
"What do you mean by that?" Inanna squinted.
"What she is trying to say is that you will surely forget your name once you spread your legs to welcome gods into your garden meaning a mere mortal you just met would be the last thing on your mind." Athena remarked.
"That's not true" Inanna said as she pouted her lips.
Athena and Jiutian laughed as the chariot carried them into the heavens.
However, one of the three would sleep with Adam (Who had the blessings of all three) in the not so distant future. But none of them had precognition abilities nor were they omniscient so they won't be able to find out until then.
*****************
Lust carries the unconscious Adam across his shoulders as he bolted towards the whispering forest. Sensing that "the guardians" were on their way.
He swerved towards the edge of a precipice. He knew there was only one thing left to do, if he were to avoid punishment, then he had to make sure he wasn't going to be found in the realm of the living.
He dropped Adam towards the edge of the cliff as he released his mana and flew towards the sky before opening a portal to the realm of the dead.
The five realms are divided into four different locations. The realm of the living, The realm of the dead, The realm of the forsaken and the realm of the favored.
The realm of the living consists of the human and monster realm.
The realm of the dead is the spirit realm also called "SHEOL"
The realm of the forsaken is the realm of devils and demons also called GEHENNA.
The realm of the favored is the realm of the gods which is also called "the kingdom of heaven."
SHEOL is the place where souls are judged before going to the realm of the gods or GEHENNA.
Lust entered into a huge castle. Standing in front of his room, he could sense the mana of the higher spirit inside and he knew who it was without a shred of doubt.
"Where have you been?"
"Me?.... I was..... um..... in the toilet." He replied back while picking his nose.
Lust who had opened the door was questioned by the familiar face he had gotten accustomed to seeing. The deep rumbling sound of thunder peals was heard in the dark sky immediately after a flash of lightning when he opened the door.
There are two reasons why people pick their noses, it could be an act of boredom or an act of nervousness. In Lust case, it was the former.
He's bored of life in the spirit realm, he spent millennials looking for someone who emits the same frequency as him. He found someone twice and now he's finally on the verge of achieving his dreams.
The said dreams is none other than being able to sleep with hundreds of beauties. What use is there being the spirit of lust if he can't even feel a woman's flesh.
Right now, he would kill just to taste the nature's lube of a woman.
He would do anything just to skeet into a woman's garden.
But a host had been found so there wasn't any need to act brash, for now at least. He can't wait to put all the other deadly spirits to their knees.
All except one actually
"You despicable, contemptible kook. Why won't you listen to reason.,"
"What do you want pride?"
"You went out again didn't you?..... Why....?"
Pride who wore a monastic robe similar to that of Lust noticed something unusual in him but didn't bother to ask as he instructed the guards outside lust's room.
"You two..... apprehend him."
"Milord?" (Guards)
The guards who were actually phantoms clothed in dark armor questioned wondering if they heard wrong.
"You heard me. Take him to THAT ROOM and make sure he receives THE TREATMENT."
