My Wives Are Too Overpowered

Chapter 69 Alex’s Reason For Reincarnation (2/2)

?

"…so that was what had transpired." 

Scarlett, sitting between Fate and Athena, said with a smile.

"Hmm… that wasn't very surprising, I guess." Athena said nonchalantly.

Scarlett chuckled. "Of course. That's why he is who he is."

Athena nodded. There was no doubt about this.

Meanwhile, Fate at the side turned to Athena and asked, "Athy, what's the answer then?"

With a calm manner, Athena answered, "I don't know."

This time not just Fate, but even Scarlett was confused.

"You don't know?" Scarlett asked.

Athena coughed lightly and said, "I mean I do know, but I don't know if it matches with husband's answer."

Fate thought about it and asked, "but, won't whatever you answer be the correct one?"

Athena nodded. "What I answer is correct, but what husband says is the final verdict. Say, if I tell you two plus two is four and he instead says it's five, then what he said would be more correct."

Fate was really confused hearing that. "Why would—"

"Don't worry…" Scarlett chimed in and said calmly. "…for such a thing to happen, it's extremely rare."

Fate raised her eyebrows. "Such a thing has happened before? You're telling me… sometimes even Wisdom can be wrong?"

Scarlett shook her head while Athena brought out tea from everyone from thin air and sipped on it, listening to the conversation calmly.

Scarlett took a sip of tea and answered, "Wisdom is never wrong. It's just… sometimes we don't like the answers she gives us and go against her."

"…like?" Fate asked for an example, really curious about it.

"Like…" Athena answered this time. "…apologizing after you've made a mistake. It's what I, Wisdom, say."

"However…" Scarlett continued Athena's words. "There are times when even though it is correct to apologize, one shouldn't. Instead of apologizing, one could opt to do something else to better their karma. This is what the Sovereign Ruler had said so himself."

"I see." Fate understood the things now. "So it's basically like a heart and mind thing?"

"Hmm?" Athena hummed.

Fate clarified, "like your mind says the most practical, but your heart emotionally differs from it?"

Scarlett laughed softly hearing that. "That's not correct, but it is more or less similar, so yeah."

Fate turned to Athena to hear her answer, who just shrugged and said, "well… God here answered it, I don't have anything more to say."

"…" Fate blinked in befuddlement. "Aren't you God too?"

"Am I?" Athena took a sip and asked seriously. She put her teacup down and asked back, "and do you think you are too? Are we both Gods or are we just concepts manifested due to Creation? Do we even exist? If we do, then what makes you think we don't exist?"

Fate was speechless while Scarlett was trying to hold back her laughter. The passive aggressiveness was strong from Athena's side.

"…why are you like this?" After a while, Fate couldn't help but ask, totally giving up on everything.

Athena didn't answer, just took a sip of her tea quietly.

Fate shook her head with a smile. Except her, probably everyone had a few screws loose in their heads. 

"Anyway, what happened later?" Fate asked. "I was absent when husband was leaving so I wanna know the latter parts in detail too."

Scarlett chuckled and replied, "you wanna know what happened when your masochistic kinks were fulfilled and at the time you were knocked out?"

"Hey!" Fate was embarrassed and said in response.

She wasn't an exception to having a few screws loose either.

Athena took a sip of tea and said in the stead of Scarlett, "what happened was…"

The Divine Hall, Elysium. 

Within the divine hall, a hallowed sanctuary beckoned—a realm where the wisdom of the cosmos converged and the harmony of creation resonated.

Adorned with murals chronicling the birth of stars, the cosmic ballet of planets, and the symphony forces shaping the galaxies, the hall served as a gallery of cosmic artistry. 

There were towering bookshelves lining its walls, adorning themselves with ancient scrolls and times that whispered secrets preserved through eons.

Central to this hall was a crystalline pool, mirroring the celestial tapestry above, invoking visions of gazing into the very cosmos itself.

Around this pool lay a pedestal cradling radiant orbs, each pulsating in synchrony with the universe's heartbeat—a bridge to the mystic tapestry of existence.

The atmosphere was tranquil yet contained such might that the entire cosmos would tremble with just a single leak of an aura from here.

This mighty aura came from the seven divine figures present here.

There were two rows of three chairs opposite to each other and at the end of them was a grand throne, resting upon which was a black-haired, blue-eyed figure showcasing a calm look.

There was sheer dominance exuding out from his aura, however, there was also a loving and tender gentleness that followed suit with a beautiful balance between the two.

This was Alexander Gray, the Balance of the cosmos—the Preserver.

"Dear, is it really necessary?" Athena, the white haired, golden-eyed Wisdom Goddess, asked.

"It is, my dear."

Alex, who was leaning to the side and had his jaw rested on his fist, corrected his posture and answered calmly. 

"This matter is not just about finding an answer to the profound question of the wise sage, but…"

Alex got up from the throne and went down, walking towards the crystalline pool at the other end.

The eyes of the six goddesses were fixated on Alex and their gazes flowed along his movement.

Coming to the crystalline pool that showed the entire cosmos, Alex put his hand forwards and gently raised his palm up, causing two orbs: one extremely bright and one extremely dark, to appear.

Alex held the two orbs in his hands and showed it to the six Goddesses.

"That's…" Athena muttered softly, 

To which Melissa, sitting at the first chair close to the throne, replied while pointing at the bright orb, "…that's Creation."

"And that's Destruction." Scarlett, sitting at the other first chair in the other row said, pointing at the dark orb.

Alex nodded his head in response. "This is Mel's doing and this is Scarlett's."

Alex then put the two orbs together and made a normal orb.

"This is… is what is supposed to be my doing."

The six goddesses nodded their heads.

Alex then continued, "I understand both, and I am well-versed with both as we three have been together since the beginning. However… there's the fact that…"

Alex separated the orbs again.

"…I have not experienced the two elements myself."

The six goddesses were confused hearing that. 

"Why do you need to experience them?" A blue-haired goddess asked in an unhurried and gentle tone.

Alex replied to her, "my dear, part of the reason is for an even better understanding of these two to provide a better balance, another part is due to the wise sage's question, and other than these two…"

Alex walked towards the blue-haired goddess and hugged her from behind.

He then pulled her cheek and said softly, "…the most important part is to experience all the things my wives do and provide. I may have experienced the gentle and calmness of you in Elysium, but I wonder what it would be in the physical realm."

The blue-haired goddess's face flushed up in embarrassment.

"Dear… w-what are you saying?" 

A red-haired goddess sitting across from the blue-haired one said, "useless two hydrogen and one oxygen, he's saying he wants to see the things we do in the material plane."

The other Goddesses giggled hearing that. 

Alex shook his head and going up to the red-haired goddess, hugged her as well and said with a chuckle, "Ember, don't tease your sister so much."

The red-haired lady, Ember, snuggled together with Alex and didn't reply. 

After a few seconds of hugging them, Alex went back to the throne and said, "That's about all the reasons for my reincarnation. Now, I have a few more things to say."

"Wait." Sitting beside the blue-haired Goddess was the cyan-haired Goddess Nix.

"Yes, honey?" Alex asked.

Nix, with a straight face, asked, "if you'll be gone, what are we supposed to do? Won't we all be lonely?"

Scarlett from the sidelines smirked and added, "she's asking, who's gonna spread her pussy if you're gone."

Gasp!

"HEY!"

All the other ladies shouted.

Scarlett stuck out her tongue and said cutely, "oops."

Scarlett wasn't wrong, but blatantly saying such things,

It was too much!

Alex cleared his throat and ignoring Scarlett's words, said, "don't worry, honey. It won't be a problem."

"How?" Nix asked with a curious expression.

"Well…"
