Chapter 323
Chapter 323
It took a few days for everyone to finally come down from the high that the fight caused. Esteroth had to be healed by ten different mages before he finally woke up again and everyone was shocked when he immediately signed the contract of submission with Han! To Esteroth, anyone that can beat him like Han is worthy of having his contract of submission! He didn’t hesitate at all to sign it!Â
Esteroth immediately asked Han for another fight and Han quickly escaped once he was finished signing the contract. He didn’t feel like fighting that mad king again! Esteroth looked like someone that will just keep on asking for more and more fights no matter how many times he loses!
Han and his girls were also a part of the celebrations. Han figured that the lower floors were now too dangerous to leave his girls alone there, so he decided that he will just allow them to stay here on the upper floors. He didn’t want the Paladin situation to happen ever again!
Han was always invited to various bars and even to parties by the many black stars that were staying on floor ninety! He was now the king of kings so everyone wanted to meet him! Han would sometimes go with the people that invited him, and Yuuma and some of the other girls would always tag along with him. He was surprised that no one on the upper floors was even surprised when he introduced the girls as his wives. They were used to polygamy already because Esteroth had many wives as well. But even if the parties were fun, most of the time, Han would refuse. It was only a matter of time before he left to go to a higher floor and he just wanted to spend time with his girls!
Han stayed with both Esteroth and Aria in Esteroths while he was on floor ninety. Han and his family were allowed to stay in Esteroth’s mansion while they were here. Han was already thinking that he would make the family stay here permanently! It was the safest floor in the temple and it would be better if they have more than a hundred black stars watching over Rin! Nowadays, Han noticed that Rin was sleeping a lot! Rin was already in her eighth month of pregnancy and she was now huge! It would be impossible for her to even move around easily! She usually stayed inside and Han tried his best to spend as much time with her as possible!
Han felt very bad that he didn’t spend time with her when she was at the beginning of her pregnancy and he decided that he would definitely be there till the end! Han was like that worried father that always lurked around his pregnant wife! Han was so loving and doting that he didn’t even let Rin do anything stressful at all! Han once tried to even carry Rin to the toilet and Rin finally had enough!! Han was so annoying! Rin started to throw things at him whenever he would stick around for too long! But Han didn’t even let that bother him at all!Â
Han knew that she secretly loved his attention and she was just having mood swings because of the pregnancy! What do you mean I’m smothering her too much!? She is my precious wife! Of course, I’ll show her all the love in the world!!
Whenever Rin was asleep, she would always be sleeping on Han’s shoulder or he would be lying down with her and talking with her as she slept on his chest! For almost a full month, this was what he did!! He just showered his wife with all the love she could possibly want! The other girls were around as well and they usually spent time with Han and Rin when they weren’t busy with other things.
Yue wouldn’t even bother going anywhere. She was always with them and that was where she wanted to be! She would usually be found sleeping on Han’s other side when they were in the room. They were lucky that the bed was big enough to fit more than seven people! It was the best month that Han ever experienced in this temple! He didn’t need to do anything, he just spent time with his family!
During that month, when he wasn’t busy with his duties, Han spent a lot of time talking with Rin. They spoke about what they would name the child if it was a boy or girl. Rin believed that the child would be a boy, but Han wanted a girl. He knew that she was the mom and she probably had better instincts about these things, but he was going to fight for this till the very end! His first baby will be a girl! Han knew that he could just use x-ray vision to see what gender the child would be but he refused to ruin the surprise like that! He didn’t want to know the gender till his baby was born! Even Rin was a little surprised when he refused to look with x-ray vision, but she kissed him happily when he explained it to her. She loved how much he cared about the baby.
Whenever Han wasn’t with Rin, he would be talking with the other kings about their next move! Han was already thinking about how he would go to the upper floors and he knew that it would be very hard to do it! He asked Esteroth if anyone has ever gone to the floors higher than this one and the man actually looked very angry as he spoke about it!
“This damn celestials locked it! They wouldn’t even let anyone go past this floor for the last five thousand years! They kept on saying that I failed some sort of test! I don’t even know what the hell that means!”
Han hummed in curiosity. He didn’t know that there was any sort of test for the next floor! Is it like floor fifty!? Is it some sort of interface that will allow you to pass only after you fulfill certain criteria? I have to go and look at it myself to make sure! Maybe after Rin has the baby I’ll look into it!
Since they couldn’t talk about how to cross the portal, they spoke about their plans regarding the Celestials. All the kings now knew just how dangerous the Celestials were, so it was easier to convince them that they need to start getting ready for a war! The temple is not going to be peaceful anymore! The Celestials have shown their true colors and none of the mortals are going to accept it! Han could tell that he was the one that everyone was looking up to for this. He was like the joker card that would either guarantee their victory or define their defeat! It was a lot of responsibility and Han realized that he was feeling overwhelmed for the first time in a very long time! But he already accepted the responsibility so there is no way he would back down! Han was now better than his past self that would give up whenever he got into a difficult situation. He refused to give up here!
Han didn’t know enough about the Celestials and Ratte was able to provide some information. But even though it was a lot of information, Han knew that it wouldn’t be enough to guarantee history! Ratte mainly spoke about Paladin and Yggrain since those are the two celestials he usually runs into. Ratte didn’t know much about the actual Celestial plane.
Han decided that his best option was to ask Dyana and Yuuma! Han called the both of them to the next meeting with the kings, and even though Dyana was a little hesitant at first, she finally decided to give Han the information he wanted. Yuuma, on the other hand, was too happy to give them all the information they needed!
It turns out that the Celestials were also divided into races. There were ten races of Celestials and all of them were ruled over by the Creator. The Creator himself was still an unknown, no one knew what race he came from and he was too powerful for anyone to ever think about taking the leadership from him! They all just followed him because they knew he was strong enough to kill them all without even trying!
The ten races of Celestials all live in different areas of the Celestial plane. Contrary to popular belief, the Celestial plane isn’t as peaceful as everyone thought it was! Everyone thinks that the Celestials all get along and hang out happily with each other but that isn’t the case at all! The Celestials were all very powerful and they were also immortal! So whenever they have any form of conflict it would usually last for a very long time! Only the presence of the creator himself would be able to make them stop and separate from their fights again! Imagine a bunch of immortal people fighting a war. They would never need to stop because they don’t fear for their lives! This would usually lead to them doing worse things to make the other people suffer! Sometimes they can imprison the opposing race for millions of years, or they might even cut out the food and water supply to the other race. It was always intense when the Celestials fought. This is one of the reasons why Celestials don’t fall in love with mortals, they know it will just be another weakness for the other Celestials to use against them in war!
The ten races don’t usually interact that much, and the only time Yuuma remembered them acting together was when they all decided o kill off the binaries! Yuuma squeezed her hands tight at this point as she spat out the next part!
“They were all jealous of the power that we could gain! Our king was already very strong and he would soon become as strong as the creator! None of the other races wanted this to happen and even the creator was jealous of it! So when Paladin started to spread rumors that our system was faulty and that we could destroy the Celestials if we were not exterminated, all the other races were more than happy to get rid of us! They knew that the accusations were false but that didn’t bother them at all! They only knew that they finally found a reason to get rid of us!”
