500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 346 The Baron

"I do not remember; it was a long time ago. The point is that we need to stop Joselyn before she can release this new Black King, whatever his name might be," I said as I started walking away, but Olivia's voice stopped me again.

"W-wait! What are we going to do about the people here? We can't just leave them behind!" she cried out, but I just waved my hand dismissively.

"You are going to have to sober up and explain yourself to everyone in town. I need to go deal with Joselyn and get the captives safe. That means I am going to need somewhere to put them, so find people to get somewhere ready. A lot is going to happen tonight, but I think that this is something that has to happen now. I don't know how long I will have before Joselyn catches wind of what happened with the other cultists, but I am sure that she will know soon," I explained and then placed a hand on Olivia's shoulder.

She gasped as I purged her body of the alcohol, but it shouldn't affect her this much, even if she had drunk a lot. Olivia was a goddess, after all, so I was confused as to why she was like this.

"Is something wrong?" Oliva asked, and I nodded.

"Do you mind if I look around inside of you?" I asked as I watched people run around outside of the alley, but they couldn't see up.

Olivia blushed but then nodded. "What do you think is wrong with me? I feel fine, but I don't think I should have become so intoxicated from drinking. Is that what you are worried about?"

"Yes, but that is just a small part of it," I said as I felt around in her body, but it was like someone had taken the part that makes her a goddess.

That was something that I would consider near impossible since a Zodiac would have had to have been the one that took it away, or myself. Another goddess could take her powers if she was strong enough, but they were actually just restricting the follower from the Zodiac, not taking the power. This case was different because someone had taken her power, but I didn't have an answer to who, just a bunch of suspicions that really didn't matter at the moment.

"I can't feel your Goddess Powers at all, so I am going to replace them with my own. There is no limit to the goddesses that I can bestow power on, but the more I do, the more spread out my power becomes. Not a bad thing if you are going to be helping me," I explained, and Olivia nodded.

"I was wondering why I was feeling so weak. I thought that it was just a result of being asleep for over 500 years," Olivia sighed, but I kissed her and stroked her hair as I gave her new Goddess Powers, making the mark on her chest glow brightly.

I was about to say something, but then I felt a strange and warm sensation creep up inside of me. I expected that I was going to lose power when I did this for her, but if anything, I just felt stronger and more sure of myself. This warm feeling gave me the sense that this was always supposed to be like this, but the reasoning for that feeling was ineffable. Maybe this was just the way things were supposed to be.

"Alright, now that you have your powers back, let's go talk to everyone quickly, okay?" I asked as I slowly let go of Olivia, and she let out a long sigh.

"Mmm, I feel so good to have a feeling of completeness back with my powers, but something is different now, and I feel much stronger than I was 500 years ago. That was a long time, but I can definitely tell the difference," Olivia said as she took my arm, and I dispelled the barrier hiding us in the alleyway.

"You are fully my disciple now, and I am the strongest of all the Zodiacs, so you should feel stronger. For some reason, I didn't get weaker, though, and something about giving you the power felt right," I said as I took her hand and walked out of the alley to where everyone was rushing around.

"That is because I belong to you and no other. I know what you mean by feeling right," Olivia said as she cuddled into me, and people started to slow down to look at me. I kissed the top of Olivia's head and then left of her and stepped forward as my Astral coating coated my hands, feet, thin tail, hair, and ears. Going in full bore was the only way to get everyone to calm down and listen.

"Sorry for getting everyone up, but these walls are up for your protection, and you are all in full control of the gates I am going to need you to be womaning. There are new towers as well to help out in the watch for attacks that could come in the future, but this town should have had something like this a long time ago," I explained and seemed to get a good number of the women's attention. Some of them still looked suspicious, but they wouldn't be humans if some didn't. "My name is Galio, and you can consider me a... Baron for Tallia and the other goddesses. My job is to come and help you out and deal with your cut problem and help get you all better living conditions."

"What is a Baron?!" A woman asked, and I tried to think of how to explain this to a woman in a world that had never had men. "Oh, and can you make the clothing better for us too? Most of us are practically naked here," The woman added as an afterthought, and I coughed to hide my amusement. At least, that was something that I could do without much explanation needed.
