Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1198  The Sweet Taste Of Success

Orion didn't know how powerful a six-star warrior was, but he knew it wouldn't be weak. He couldn't accurately judge since there had never been a six-star warrior. As the Supreme Leader of Paradise, he decided to be the first to reach such a level.

What gave Orion confidence was the miraculous effect of the Condensed Vylkr Essence Rebirth Elixirs. He hoped the new elixir they were creating would offer similar effects and additional benefits, allowing him to advance to the next stage.

"Let's make a deal, I can be able to think of something to aid you in your advancement, but I'll only do it for something in exchange," Zera said.

Orion looked at her in surprise, his expression thoughtful. He had already made deals with the two goddesses—the goddess of Twilight Chorus and Fortune and the goddess of Malevolence and Witches. And now, Zera also wanted to make a deal with him. He couldn't help but wonder what it could be.

"Before I accept, I want to know what you want in exchange?" Orion asked, his tone tinged with anticipation and his expression filled with curiosity.

"I can't tell you what it is yet. But I promise it won't be something too difficult to ask," Zera responded, her smile brightening as she felt a slight tug on her soul. Yet, she chose to ignore it. To Zera, Aurora was Orion's only partner; she didn't dare believe that any goddess would allow their significant other—especially one like Orion—to be shared with another goddess or a mortal. There were already several issues regarding divine beings with multiple partners, siring countless demigods and infighting among themselves and their children. The thought of that was unimaginable to her.

Zera planned to speak with Aurora first to inform her of her reasons for doing so, hoping to earn the goddess's pity before meeting with Orion to hear his response. She had seen their relationship and knew they respected each other as significant others, irrespective of their distinct hierarchy in the world. Even if it meant losing her pride as a demigod and as the host of two formidable goddesses. Unbeknownst to Zera, Aurora was neither Orion's first wife nor his first child's mother. He already had numerous wives and children from multiple races. Otherwise, Zera would have stopped stalling and laid out what she wanted in exchange immediately. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I will also inform you about the details of my conversation with the Will of the Divine Mysteries, as well as the trial, in exchange," Zera said, seeing that Orion was about to refuse her offer. She knew it would be difficult for him to accept her proposal, so she had decided to use this as a bargaining chip if her initial offer failed.

Orion fell silent at her words.

"You don't need to worry. This decision is one I've made on my own, without involving my goddesses," Zera added, as though she could read Orion's thoughts.

"Alright, if you can think of a way for me to create two Vylkr containers to advance to become a six-star warrior, and tell me in detail about your conversation with the Will of the Divine Mysteries, I will listen to your condition," Orion responded after a brief moment of contemplation. He couldn't help but admit that Zera's offers were indeed tempting. The only thing that left him worried was what she wanted in exchange.

There was still a chance this was a trap set by the two goddesses. Still, Orion had no other choice but to grasp the rare opportunity that had presented itself.

"Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me," Zera said, nodding at him with a relieved expression. Her smile brightened even more.

"Although your offer also means a lot to me, if I can advance to the next stage by myself, you'll need to think of something else to offer," Orion responded. Zera's offer only provided a substitute if he failed to ascend independently.

"Of course, I haven't forgotten our conversation before this," Zera nodded solemnly.

"I will see you later and hope for a safe ascension," she added.

Orion nodded, observing as she turned and walked away. Her figure disappeared around the corner of one of the manor buildings before he returned to his room.

….…

Eight days later, Margona removed the cauldron from the condensation chamber after it had cooled and placed it on the table. Within it was the elixirs that she and Orion had managed to create, hoping it would be effective and end their long experiments. The pill was inky black and exuded a mysterious golden and purple aura, unlike the Condensed Vylkr Essence Rebirth Elixirs. Marogona took out a pill and handed it to Orion.

"Tell me how it tastes," she said.

Orion nodded, receiving the pill and observing it hesitantly, remembering the various effects the previous ones had on him.

"What are you still waiting for? I promise you that this one will work, and you will suffer no side effects," Margona said, her tone sharp. However, her expression betrayed her uncertainty as she bit her lip, waiting for Orion to swallow and digest the elixir.

Orion was inwardly annoyed, but he maintained a calm composure. He took a deep breath, then tossed the pill into his mouth. Within seconds, a dense surge of Vylkr energy filled his stomach, spreading to every fibre of his body. It wasn't violent, nor did it attempt to shut down the functions of his body by harming him from the inside. Instead, the energy rushed towards one of his Vylkr containers and dissolved into it, calming the furious Vylkr energy within. He sensed the absorption effect was much more significant than the Condensed Vylkr Essence Rebirth Elixir.

As Orion controlled the Vylkr energy within his body, he felt it become more stable and potent. With a little effort, Orion could activate Vylkr Warrior mode, enhancing his overall abilities and maintaining it for a certain period. However, to avoid revealing another of his potential trump cards to Margona and the others, he decided to try it once he returned to his room and ensured he wasn't being watched.

"So, how do you feel? What are the results?" Margona asked, her tone and expression filled with displeasure as Orion remained silent, sensing the changes unfolding within his body.

Orion opened his eyes and looked at her. "It worked," he said, a smile spreading across his lips.

"It worked!! It worked!!" Margona repeated, her voice rising as she hugged Orion and lifted him into the air as though cradling a cherished specimen.

Orion didn't mind, treating it like a joyous occasion. He knew their difficulties in creating this groundbreaking elixir and felt just as excited as she was.

Within seconds, the room was filled with the strange sounds of two people screaming happily at the top of their lungs while the other was being carried in the air. Soon, their excitement died down, and the atmosphere became awkward.

Margona swiftly placed Orion back on the ground and straightened her robe and head scarf. "I was just too excited. We'll forget this ever happened," Margona coughed silently, her tone slightly nonchalant.

Orion nodded, agreeing it was too dangerous for them to hold onto such a memory.

At the same time, Margona sent a thought toward her subconscious space. 'Stop it,' Margona said, her voice tense.

Within the space,

"I'm trying, but I just can't," Zera shook her head in response.

Another voice rang behind her, "She probably deserves whatever is happening to her. Don't let her force you to do something you find difficult."

Zera turned to look behind her at the goddess of Twilight Chorus and Fortune, who could not observe what was happening outside. She was seated on a comfortable throne-like seat mid-air, deep in contemplation. Zera nodded firmly at her.

"Tsk! Try harder. You should be capable of something as easy as this," Margona responded, her tone tinged with annoyance. On the outside, she wore a neutral expression.

Zera bit her lip and muttered, "It's my body. I can feel however I desire. Besides, I'm certain you felt the same moments ago with all the hard work you both put into this. Also, as a goddess, I'm sure you can handle a few troublesome feelings like this, right?"

Margona was taken aback by her words.

The space was instantly silent.

The goddess of Twilight Chorus and Fortune turned to look at Zera, her expression a mixture of surprise and shock.

Zera felt her divine soul shrinking under their gaze.

"Does your subtle change in character and taking back at me have to do with the time you spent with those goddesses or your concocted ideas with this young man?" Margona's voice sounded.

"...No. I'm sorry you had to hear that, Goddess Margona. I didn't mean to say that," Zera's voice faltered before gaining momentum as she apologized.

"I don't mind this new change; such interactions will likely have such effects. I simply hope you don't forget the purpose we have bestowed upon you," said the goddess of Twilight Chorus and Fortune. Her firm voice sounded behind her.

"I promise I won't forget," Zera nodded.
