"Have you come to a decision Lord Αδ?"
The Whisper asks Xander for the seventh time today; [s]he watches as her lord was quietly sitting in the upper seat of the theater for nine days now, he was unmoving, as all his focus was on the giant screen as three options were before him.
And he couldn't leave this place without picking a route.
«Route [A]: (Diva Lord Path): Go Back to the Shadow Clan, and train to be the next clan lord, by choosing this route you are more prone to danger, as you will be walking the path of a Diva Lord, this would mean the summoning of heroes by the God of Order Totome would be initiated, without a doubt it quick power route, at the cost of more enemies»
«Route [B]: (Slayer Path): Hasha takes you to your father's friend or sworn blood brother to train you to become a Diva slayer, fewer enemies, but hard work nonetheless, but the other Diva Lords will find you as both a traitor and an enemy, a puppet to the humans, but the trade-off would be the fact that you will learn the art of the Seraphs, love by angels, 80% chance to be engaged to a Seraphim at the age of eighteen, train to kill Divas but at the cost of being hated by them»
«Route [C]: (Apostle Path): I serve, I worship, I obey, this path will lead you to go to the order and learn some of the Seraph's teachings, however, your guardian will be very lenient towards you, as long as you are not caught doing something too illegal, this path is the prejudice path, hated by many, loved by few, however, it's perk is instant activation of the system, ten years training to become Rory pope and love by chaos perk will unlock at age fifteen, the pope of the old one is a title that will allow you to walk to the path of an old one, so after a thousand years of servitude, you may choose to become apart of the mythos»
But he also knew he couldn't stay here forever as well, but after nine days of thinking he made a wise conclusion.
"The path of a Diva Lord is too much responsibility, yes I would be trained to be a God in the eyes of the monster girls, but I don't want to be bound by a single race, humans aren't bad, and Diva isn't bad, no one is truly bad if anything no one is really good either; and also, by me choosing the path of a lord the braves would have my head, I can't blame them for wanting to kill the enemy."
"But the same could be said for the path of the Slayer as well, I wish not to kill monster girls either, for suck's sake women are the source of my power, but I wouldn't blame any Diva for wanting to kill, r@pe and toy with me, as any man in this world would do the same them as well; honestly the perks of marrying a Seraphim sound nice an all; but I don't confine by either Mankind or Divas, that's why the only path I see is the neutral path which is the Apostle path."
"I serve nor do I take responsibility for either Divas nor humans which is the best outcome if you asked me; instead I obey the All-Mother, but by doing this, then this would entitle me to be her pope, and being her pope according to the Whisper is being someone who spread her name, her teaching, and she will, but this also means I will have to be something like a slave for a thousand years; however the trade-off to this would be after I have served my time I could become something like her as well."
"Decisions, decisions."
Xander exclaimed as he silently think to himself; on one hand, he could pick the Diva path, be worshiped and loved by all monsters but hated by humans, but become a God.
On the other hand, he could pick the human path; train in the ways of the slayers and seraphs, but be hated by Divas on an even more personal level, but get a Seraphim wife as a trade-off, while being worshiped by the humans like a God-like entity.
While in between these two choices, he could walk the path of the neutral middle finger, the human and the Diva problem is not his concern, the human and the Diva problem is his concern, no one gets special treatment, and his choices pick neither side of the spectrum, he is just an observer and a supporter; as he walks around the world spreading the teaching of his Fertility Goddess word while fulfilling his mission to save her child from the facility.
In the end, he made up his mind; he didn't have a choice or more like he does have a choice; but the choice he was going to pick was a choice that would benefit no one; not even him, but the choice was also a choice where everyone is still a winner.
The Diva doesn't have to worry about him.
The human doesn't have to deal with him.
He will serve, he will obey, and he will transcend after his time of servitude is complete, his mission will be to rescue the All Mother's child.
So with his mind made up. He replied to Whisper as such.
"Whisper, I will walk the neutral path, the path of the Apostle."
"So Route (C), neither good, neither evil, but also a path where your ideals and belief can be misunderstood for hypocrisy or favoritism depending on the situation. Although just to be sure is the path you want to walk; because with all honesty you would be hated by both Divas and Humans, a path of prejudice on both ends seeing you won't pick a side."
"Yes. I would like Route (C), im a lover, after all, so why pick one when I can have both by picking neither; im just a Yandere pope in training."
"Smart choice, very well then your mind is officially made up, and your wish shall be granted. Also please be advised that when you wake up 3 months would have already passed."
"Three months?"
"Yes. Time moves differently here, 3 days equals 1 month in the real world, and you have been here for a total of nine days."
"Why say this now?"
Xander asks in panic and confusion.
"Because you never ask."
"You worthless system administrator, that's important information; ah... Sigh... Whatever please just send me back."
"Right away."
And with that said, Xandee began to lose consciousness again, as the same warping process began taking place once more. His mind drifts into space or worm while where is he all, the beginning and end?
But that feeling of being all-knowing through the incompressible wormhole soon faded; when his conscious mind return to his body. And the first thing he heard was.
«Deactivation of hibernation mode»
And like usual the administrator's voice echoed in his head albeit more robotic which told him; that everything has returned to normal.
Strangely enough though unlike before when he couldn't open his eyes, he now had the urge to open his eyes; and the first thing he saw or was introduced to was the sight of not one but four moons in the night sky, filled with a large tapestry of beautiful stars.
The sound of cricket could be heard vividly in the background and for some weird reason, Xander felt power brewing in his body, and also the wet sensation mix with a subtle softness on his back.
'Where the hell am I?'
Xander asked himself, completely lost about the situation at hand.
And that was when a system notification came before him; giving him a broad synopsis of what was going on.
«Due to the host entering hibernation mode for three months, it caused a misunderstanding to happen between your guardians that made them think you were critically injured; this fact is especially whole true since you were born prematurely by six months, so in an instinctual attempt to save yourself you enter a deep sleep to recover and develop your body further, currently speaking hibernation mode is similar to a Lamia hibernation period they use as a method of recovery»
When Xander heard this he blame the system for making this misunderstanding happen to begin with, babies sleep a lot, but no normal child sleeps for three whole months straight.
Although there was still one problem; the system explain nothing to him; where was he, and why are there four moons in the sky?
But at that very moment, a familiar voice could be heard.
"I-I-Is this a heartbeat I hear, is this body warmth I feel?"
As the red water Xander was in; suddenly began to vibrate and something emerge as a giant black scaley hand grab him gently and lift him into the sky.
And that's when he saw a woman, a beautiful woman, a tall giantess.
He didn't know how tall this woman was, but the mere size of her hand was half the size of his young newborn body.
The woman before him had beautiful jade-white skin. Her hair was pure black and had a silky feel to its texture, and to add an extra description to it, then what could be said that it was also very long and very straight, it passed her lower back and maybe even her ass.
On the left side of her body were tribal tattoos that were done in dark blue, it goes up from her face, and maybe down to her lower legs, but there was nowhere for him to know, as he was only seeing half of her body at the moment, as her other half was submerged in the depths of the crimson river they seem to be in of at the moment. Although he has to admit that her tattoos match her beautiful dark blue eyes.
However, what made this woman stand out the most to Xander was not the fact that she was a beauty that can make other beautiful women look lesser in comparison to her once she is around them, nor was it the fact that she was completely naked making her giant G-Cup giantess breast to be shown in full view to him in all its glory; but it was the fact that, unlike normal humans, she had three pairs of arms.
The first pair of arms was located at the normal spot where the arms are normally found on any normal human being, it is long and slender, and her fingernails were colored black; while the second pair of arms were more monstrous in appearance. It looks humanoid in the first place, but if you look closely you would notice that fact only applies until you reach her upper hands, which are fully black, and had snake-like scales; her claws were blood red and look extremely sharp. These pair could be found on her both her right and left hip. While the last pair was on her thick thighs, which were barely a glimpse out of the water, and they look the as the second pair.
At this point, Xander had a stoic facial expression. He was impressed by what he was seeing, a woman this big has to be crazy strong, vastly intimidating.
But as he looks closely at her, specifically above her head a weird language that looked like scribbles with zero sense and more madness than anything else in the form of writing could be seen he didn't know what this language was but he could understand it, the writing or scribbles were moving as if it was alive.
And it looks like fleshy tentacles, but ignoring its grotesque appearance, Xander began to read what was being shown to him.
