--- Chapter 198 ---
An hour and a half later.
Huo Yuhao relaxed on the couch with Yae and Rose, enjoying a decent cup of coffee. After becoming a god, he hasn't familiarized himself with divine abilities and learned things slowly.
Well, it shouldn't take long.
After all, Huo Yuhao possessed the Genesis and the End.
Huo Yuhao also served the lunch foods at the dinner table, but they waited for Huo Yun'er, Scathach, and Qianye Ying'er to finish condensing their divinities first.
Yawn~!
A pleasant yawn entered the living room, revealing Scathach in casual yoga pants and Huo Yuhao's loose t-shirt. It seems Shishou missed her student.
"Good evening, Shishou." Huo Yuhao greeted her with a smile.
"Eh, Yuhao? You returned already." Scathach was surprised, fixing her hair quickly. She tied her long purple hair in a ponytail, which caused Huo Yuhao and the other ladies to chuckle.
Huo Yuhao shook his head amusingly and commented, "It's fine, Shishou."
"Even if you were half-asleep, you're still beautiful as always."
"Woah, so smooth." Yae couldn't help but roll her eyes. Even though she had observed Huo Yuhao for years, she realized he was more of a womanizer after returning from his trial.
Scathach blushed a little because Huo Yuhao's compliments always sent butterflies to her stomach. She sat down beside Huo Yuhao, leaning on his shoulder.
'He became stronger again.' She thought while feeling the intensity of Huo Yuhao's Divine Power. Unlike Scathach's slaughter-focused quality, Huo Yuhao's divinity focused more on his inherent quality.
Now that she could see a more abstract thing like luck, Huo Yuhao appeared to be the literal incarnation of fortune itself.
'Ridiculous.' Scathach couldn't help but smile.
Huo Yun'er returned shortly after, smiling at everyone(especially Huo Yuhao) in the living room. Something about her changed drastically, but one needs Divine Sense to see/feel it.
Scathach blinked her red eyes and stared at the intense blue aura around Huo Yun'er body. The blue hue resembled fire and illusion, giving off unreal sensations.
As if Huo Yun'er could shape everything around her into a fiery illusion, leaving nothing behind.
"You're becoming a half-step Godking." Huo Yun'er leaned on the couch and kissed Huo Yuhao's cheek. "As expected of my beloved son, Hao'er."
"Hmm?"
Everyone in the room was stunned as a young lady with silky gold hair appeared out of thin air. Her looks make Scathach and Huo Yun'er speechless.
If Huo Yun'er is your gorgeous milf-type of woman.
And Scathach is your stern teacher-type of woman.
Then this lady is clearly a young, pure goddess that has descended to the mortal world. It has nothing to do with looks because all three possess unparalleled beauty, but the atmosphere around them. And not to mention the small golden flower mark on Qianye Ying'er forehead.
"What?" Qianye Ying'er tilted her head in confusion.
"Why are you guys staring at me like that?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, "Nothing."
"Congratulations on becoming the youngest god in the Dragon Nest, Ying'er." He praised her, boosting the young lady's self-esteem.
"Hehe~!" Qianye Ying'er laughed proudly.
Huo Yuhao smiled and added, "Let's have lunch while I explain a few things about the next plan."
"Oh, also... This woman is the Great Red."
"Her name is Rose. Get along with her, okay."
The three women stared at Rose, giving her a questioning gaze for a second because Huo Yuhao brought another one home. The name Great Red clicked something in their mind as Qianye Ying'er covered her mouth.
"Oh~!" Qianye Ying'er planned something in her head. She gave Yae a wink, which made the playful fox giggle.
Meanwhile, the Great Red looked at the three women with a terrified look because their strengths were around the same baselines as Huo Yuhao.
Just one person was enough to create an imbalance in this world, and now there are three more.
'Those gods are fucked up.' Rose thought while smiling bitterly.
Lunchtime occurred shortly after, and everyone had a great time around the dining table. Of course, the main character of the conversation is Huo Yuhao, as he ascended to Godhood first.
Rose listened to the conversation and felt her knowledge expanding more than usual. When Huo Yun'er mentioned her homeworld, Rose's ears perked up because the outside universe was unknown.
She knew another world existed through a long period of living in the Dimensional Gap, but trying to bypass it would destroy Draconic Deus. As its protector, doing so is egocentric and against her inborn duty.
"Yuhao~! I'm back." A small and sweet voice filled the room.
Rose's eyes widened in surprise as a little girl in an elementary school outfit entered the room. She was chewing her food as Ophis stood in the hallway, staring at her with a frown.
"Baka Red..." Ophis's tone grew colder.
Her power exploded under the roof, overflowing the living and dining room with a purple flash.
BOOM!
"This power..." Rose was taken aback. Ophis has grown more powerful than the limit placed upon her vessel.
Infinite doesn't mean one's strength is Limitless.
That's why Draconic Deus placed a limit upon Ophis's vessel, making her strength tied to the world's standard. However, in just one year and a half, Ophis's strength evolved under Dragon Nest, particularly Huo Yuhao and Scathach's teaching.
Pulling out a white rock staff from her spatial bag, Ophis struck Rose with it.
Clank!
Rose hardened her hand into a claw-like state and blocked Ophis's attack, causing another explosion with crimson and purple energy.
"God-Killing..." Ophis released more pressure from her body.
"Dream Claw," Rose responded with her dream power.
Clanks!
Huo Yuhao sighed weakly and commented, "Stop."
Both dragons' attacks were "casually." stopped by Huo Yuhao's chopsticks.
"..." Rose.
"..." Ophis.
The Ouroboros Dragon pouted and questioned, "Yuhao, why is Baka Red here? Do you want to disown me now...?"
"I won't disown you. Ophis will be on my side forever." Huo Yuhao responded while placing down his chopsticks.
"This is a misunderstanding."
"I'm sure you have felt it, right? I have ascended and become a god."
"Mm, your scent has become more golden(divine) now." Ophis nodded her little head.
Even though Ophis's response is uncommon, everyone understands what she means. After all, Huo Yuhao is basking in literal gold if they use their spiritual sense.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and commented, "After becoming a god, I sealed the space and time around the Draconic Deus. That includes the Dimensional Gap(Void), where Great Red(Rose) lived as protector."
"She doesn't steal your home, Ophis."
"She protects it and doesn't want you to get injured."
"That's a lie..." Ophis stayed firm in her stance.
Rose sighed inside because her reprimanding a thousand years ago did sound too harsh for Ophis.
Ophis hugged Huo Yuhao and declared, "Baka Red should go away. You took my home before. I'm not sharing this home with you now..."
"Yuhao is mine."
"All the candies are mine~!"
"Uugh, so precious..." Yae held her chess.
"Who left this adorable child here?"
"No comment," Scathach admitted Ophis is adorable, but calling her a child stretched it too much.
Rose stared at Huo Yuhao and Ophis silently and said, "I'm not going to live here, Ophis."
"My duty is still protecting the Dimensional Gap."
"I'm here because Yuhao invited me for lunch."
"R-Really?" Ophis changed her gaze from Rose to Huo Yuhao. She sounds so betrayed when hearing Rose's statements.
Huo Yuhao patted Ophis and asked, "Ophis, do you hate Rose?"
"Yes..." Ophis answered quietly.
"And why so?"
"Baka Red stole my home..." She fumbled with her fingers.
"But you have a new one, no? You can hate her for doing so, but you know the truth already." Huo Yuhao gently rubbed her cheeks.
"What about this? I'll give you a new flavored candy soon, but you had to let Rose slide this time. I'm not saying you can spare Rose up, as you can visit her in the Dimensional Gap anytime now to talk."
"Try to understand why she forces you out of the Dimensional Gap."
"And remember this. I will not leave you behind."
"...Okay," Ophis answered understandingly.
"I'll let Baka Red go this time."
"Next time, I'll go to the Dimensional Gap and beat her up as Purple Demon did to me..."
"..." Rose's mouth twitched in disbelief.
"Purple Demon..." Scathach blinked her eyes.
"You little-."
Ophis hid behind Huo Yuhao and added, "Yuhao is here now. You can't drag me into the mirror world."
"Bleee, You bully, lose this time." Ophis's little tongue sticks out.
"Hahaha~!" Huo Yun'er and Qianye Ying'er couldn't hold their laughter.
Imagine calling the God Slayer Scathach, a Purple Demon, and Bully so confidently?
Even Yae found this scene amusing.
As Ophis joined the lunch, Huo Yuhao finished his share and suddenly commented, "Oh yeah, I declared war against all God Pantheons in this world."
"Nice." Scathach laughed excitedly.
"That's why Dragon Nest will go all out soon. Call every conquering member tomorrow." Huo Yuhao continued, making Huo Yun'er and Qianye Ying'er nod their heads.
