Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1215  Grace's Ascension (2), A New Sister Race!

Zogar and Seth nodded in response. They glanced curiously at the flaming white cocoon before departing, soaring into the distance.

After waiting three hours, the white flames began subsiding, and the cocoon slowly opened, revealing an unconscious Grace.

Orion immediately appeared by her side and caught her.

Grace's eyes fluttered open, and she instinctively snuggled deeper into Orion's embrace.

"How do you feel?" Orion asked, his voice calm and soothing as he gently stroked her hair.

"I feel... stronger, much stronger than before," Grace replied. "But everything around me feels different like the world isn't as hard to understand as it used to be," she added, her gaze wandering in confusion as she took in her surroundings.

"Don't worry about it too much right now. Let's get you back so you can rest," Orion responded with a reassuring nod, his touch steady as he held her close.

Grace nodded cutely, her soft expression brightening as she turned her head towards Ilse, sensing her presence. "Aunt Ilse, why are you here? You didn't tell me you'd be coming, or I would've helped you get Liora ready," she said, puffing her cheeks in mild protest.

Ilse's eyes widened in shock, and she muttered, "She sensed my presence…" She hadn't fully concealed herself, assuming Grace wouldn't notice her. After all, Ilse had cloaked her presence with divine power, effectively hiding from mortal eyes. Yet, Grace had easily sensed her location.

Grace stared at Ilse with furrowed brows, confusion growing as she wondered why her beautiful aunt was acting so strangely.

'This could only mean one thing... She has ascended to godhood,' Ilse thought, her mind spinning as the realization hit her with full force.

Despite already suspecting it, confirming it left her in disbelief. Just a few hours ago, this little girl had been a mortal, suffering from the strange effects of her connection with Orion. Now, in such a short time, she had taken her first step into godhood.

When Orion was mortal, his actions often left her astounded, making her question whether he truly fit the mortal scope she knew or was a reincarnated god. Now that he possessed divine potential, she expected more extraordinary things from him—but why did it feel like he was sharing divine ascension as if he were handing out Kalna fruits?

Wasn't this too much? Had the Divine Mysteries grown lazy, allowing such unprecedented ascensions without intervention, handing out Divine Mandates like it was nothing?

Forget it! The more the residents of Paradise grew stronger, the more certain Ilse felt about their future.

"I didn't come here for Liora. I came to check on you after learning what had transpired," Ilse said, offering Grace a gentle smile. "If you'd like, you can join Liora while I teach her. That way, as her big sister, you can learn to properly care for her and ensure she's doing everything right."

Ilse was teaching Liora to control her powers so she wouldn't cause a scene. As a born demigod, Liora was more intelligent than other children her age, making it easier to educate her.

Now that Orion's first child had also gained divine potential, Ilse—the primary protector and resident goddess—saw it as her duty to guide Grace so she wouldn't lose control of her newfound powers and cause a drastic situation.

Grace's eyes widened in surprise at Ilse's offer, but before responding, she looked to Orion with wide, questioning eyes.

Sensing her inquiry, Orion gave her a nod of approval.

"YIPPEE!" Grace cheered, her fists clenched and raised to the sky in excitement.

Orion couldn't help but smile at the scene.

"Does this mean Grace can now be considered a new sister race rather than a tree nymph? More powerful than the other nymph races and with such a weakness?" Ilse asked, fascinated by the idea of Orion potentially creating a new divine race from his own seed. It seemed fitting for someone like him.

"I think so. But we'll need to run some tests to verify that nothing is wrong with her. Maybe we'll give her more sisters and see if they show the same results. If they do, then we can consider it similar to the Dragnims, where a powerful bloodline can awaken potential in a weaker one, leading to the creation of a new race," Orion replied, wanting to be sure before giving Grace the official title of a new sister race among the nymphs.

"You might be the only mortal to have fathered a demigod both before and after your ascension," Ilse remarked, finding the thought amusing. It was quite an achievement, given his unique lifestyle, and one to be proud of.

Orion's face beamed as expected, and he nodded with a saintly smile. "Thank you for the compliment, goddess Ilse. I will make sure to father more children for the sake of Paradise," he responded.

A sudden, inappropriate thought about how potent Orion's semen must be now that he was a demigod flashed through Ilse's mind, but she quickly shook it off.

"For your sake and that of your wives, I suggest you wait for goddess Aurora to awaken before engaging in intimacy with them. She's the only one who could sense any changes in your... fertility, and your other partners will need to be prepared to handle the effects of your enhanced potency," Ilse focused on Orion and asked.

Ilse was certain that, at this moment, Orion could bring a body on the brink of death back to life with his seed. Although she wasn't sure if the same effect would apply to a goddess like herself, she sincerely hoped never to find out.

She wondered how other divine beings who had mastered the law of fertility would react upon encountering Orion.

"I will," Orion responded with a solemn expression. His ascension had granted him absolute control over his body, down to the molecular level, but he was still unsure if he could fully control the potency of his fertility.

While he could control himself enough to release outside, it wasn't worth the chaos that would ensue if any of his partners ingested his semen. It was best to wait for Aurora to awaken and confirm that she was improving first. Besides, the Will of the Divine Mysteries could summon him at any moment, so it would be unwise to indulge right now instead of preparing for that encounter.

"I will be taking my leave," Ilse said, tearing open the space beside her.

"Bye-bye, Aunty!" Grace said, waving her hands at Ilse.

Ilse paused, smiled warmly, and waved back before turning and stepping through the tear in space, which was sealed behind her.

"When will Aunty Ilse also become my mommy?" Grace asked, looking at her father.

"Aunty Ilse is a goddess who has lived for countless lifetimes, and having a partner might be trivial to her. So, you shouldn't entertain such ideas," Orion said, rubbing her cheeks gently.

Orion had already sensed that Anara and his other wives had returned home an hour ago and were anxiously awaiting their arrival. "Let's go home; your mothers are waiting for us," he said, enveloping Grace in his divine power.

They vanished from their spot and reappeared within the manor.

.....

"What?" Anara exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock and bewilderment. She glanced at Grace, who sat beside her, playing with Liora, seemingly oblivious to what had just been said.

Anara had already suspected that Orion and Grace shared an unnatural connection after what had happened before. Learning about his ascension, which coincided with Grace's mysterious illness, had only fueled her suspicions. Now, just as she had been ready to confirm it, she discovered that her little Grace had taken her first step toward godhood.

It wasn't just Anara— even the other women, who were accustomed to encountering bizarre situations as part of their everyday lives, found Orion's explanation hard to believe. Liora becoming a demigod was understandable, as her mother, Aurora, was a genuine goddess. But hearing that Grace had also ascended...

"Don't look at me like that! Did you think I'd keep it a secret if I'd reached godhood?" Anara snapped, her brows twitching in annoyance as she noticed the women's suspicious glances in her direction.

She sighed abruptly, then focused on Grace's excited expression, reaching to ruffle her hair.

"Well done," Anara said with a sweet smile.

"Yes, congratulations on your ascension to godhood, Grace," Greta added, clapping her hands with a smile.

"Congratulations on your ascension to godhood, Grace," Celeste said softly.

"Congratulations..."

One by one, the women in the household echoed their congratulations, their voices filling the room for everyone to hear.

Hearing their praises filled Grace with an incredible sense of excitement. Thanks to her father, She ascended to godhood, a special status few could achieve.

Her beautiful and strong aunt invited her to attend her lecture. Now, she could finally play with her sister, whose abnormal strength had made her sad because she hadn't been able to express herself freely before.

Grace had been worried about watching her youngest sister grow in such a way, fearing that she couldn't do anything about it. But it seemed all her previous concerns had been pointless.
