Chapter 2296: Zeal
As per usual, one of the first things Vahn did upon returning from an Actualized World was inform the Council of Wives about his actions.
Since it hadn’t been that long since Vahn’s last stint within an Actualized World, the girls couldn’t help feeling a little exasperated. They understood his reasons, but it was a little painful knowing he was spending years at a time away from home.
Though none of the girls outright complained about his actions, it was impossible for them to keep their emotions hidden from Vahn. It didn’t help that he had returned with several children.
Fortunately, not that it did much to put the girls’ concerns at ease, Vahn had already decided that Runeterra would be the last Actualized World he personally visited. He would make exceptions for those that redeemed their ‘points’ to spend time with him, but his main focus would be conquering the Divine Realm.
When Vahn had first descended into the Actualized World of Runeterra, he only planned to stay for around four years. Instead, he jumped around through time and manipulated events over the span of thousands. He hadn’t actually stayed there that long, but he had the memories and experiences of Templates that had.
By the time he emerged from the Actualized World, Vahn had earned the recognition of the two beings responsible for the world’s creation. He also gained experience rewriting fate and creating planar realms that made textures appear elementary in comparison.
Understanding he could retroactively ‘fix’ everything once he took over the Divine Realm, Vahn took advantage of The Path’s functionalities to create a Quest that would keep him on track.

Though two years might sound like an unreasonably short period of time, especially when it came to conquering something like the Divine Realm, Vahn was pretty confident in his ability to pull it off. The only thing that could possibly stand in his way was himself, and, ever since he had entered into a relationship with Sis, that became less of a factor.
Ever since Vahn first began his journey, Sis had been his emotional and spiritual anchor. During his time in the Actualized World, he had actually spent more time with Sis than Sandora. She was the one that had compelled him to become the God-Emperor of Targon and the Primordial Aspect of Creation, effectively rewriting the fate of the entire Actualized World. Now that they had returned, Vahn intended to work alongside Sis to make his long-held dream a reality.
Fortunately, even if Vahn just spent all his time cuddling up with Fenrir, Black Rabbit, Usalia, and countless others, he could still conquer the Divine Realm. Sis was just as powerful as he was, and, thanks to the System Templates, he could elevate everyone affiliated with the Aldrnari Empire to Tier 5 with relative ease.
Adding insult to injury, at least for his opponents, Vahn coordinated with Loi-chan to ascertain the identities of his enemies. By providing this information to Da Vinci and the others, he could just sit back and wait for them to bring him victory. Instead, Vahn went out of his way to create more than a hundred additional Templates, several of which were sent into select Actualized Worlds while the rest were assigned the task of replacing various Gods.
A stark contrast to how he felt when he first entered the Transcendental Path to Heaven, Vahn no longer cared about ‘playing’ around. As much as he cared about people, he had never once cared about the intricacies and complexities of politics and society. If not for his deeply rooted desire to experience new things, he would just hole himself up somewhere and spend literal eons cuddling with people like Sis and Fenrir.
Though he still intended to ‘fix’ a few things once he reached the pinnacle, Vahn no longer cared about trying to fix everything. His reason for reaching the top wasn’t to have greater control over the worlds below but to remove himself from the equation. It wasn’t that he had grown tired of interacting with others; he just found greater meaning in spending time with his family, friends, and loved ones.
When Vahn left the Record of Danmachi, he was roughly 155 years old. Several thousand years had passed since that fateful moment, and, due to the experiences of his Templates, he now had memories spanning tens of billions of years. He had witnessed the design and destruction of entire universes, reshaped realities, and influenced the lives of a truly countless number of people. However, even after reaching the point where he could pluck stars from the night sky and create metaversal structures with little more than a thought, it was the memories of his time in Danmachi that left the most profound impression on Vahn’s heart and mind. He was ready to return home, and there was absolutely nothing that could stop him from doing so…

“Keep breathing. You’re almost done.”
As if placed into a trance by Vahn’s words, Black Rabbit focused on her breathing, her contractions becoming progressively stronger as a rather large group of people observed the delivery of her kittens.
Seeing Vahn use a combination of Authority, Godhand, and Telekinesis to deliver each of Black Rabbit’s six children effortlessly, Shiroyasha couldn’t help remarking, “This feels like cheating…”
Taking Black Rabbit’s final, rabbit-like child, Vahn handed the pink bundle over to Heng’e before stating, “I’ve never been fond of tragedies. If I can make things easier for the people I love, why shouldn’t I…?”
Instead of responding to Vahn’s words, Shiroyasha observed as Da Vinci placed a glowing sphere against the forehead of Black Rabbit’s final child. Vahn wasn’t taking any chances, so each of his and Black Rabbit’s kittens were outfitted with Tier 5 System Templates from birth.
With the delivery completed, Vahn healed Black Rabbit’s body and freed her from her trance, saying, “You did great…” as he caressed her face.
Blinking in surprise, Black Rabbit asked, “Eh…? It’s over already?” before immediately focusing on the group of girls standing by with her children. Each currently resembled pink, white, and black rabbits, but that didn’t stop Black Rabbit from tearing up a little as she reached out her arms and whimpered, “My babies…”
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yue, having attended the delivery at Vahn’s behest, handed over Black Rabbit’s first kitten, a predominately white doe with a peculiar, pink, heart-shaped birthmark on its forehead. (A/N: Xiao Yue is the Moon Goddess that gave Vahn one of her Ginko Seeds.)
Accepting the adorable kitten from Xiao Yue, Black Rabbit began to sniffle as she affectionately nuzzled against her daughter. It was a peculiar sight for those who expected Black Rabbit to give birth to humanoid offspring, but no one said anything about it. They just smiled and enjoyed the warm and pleasant feelings that filled the delivery room, amplified by Vahn…

Following the successful delivery of Black Rabbit’s children, a version of Vahn accompanied Shiroyasha back to Thousand Eyes. There, Shiroyasha ordered Nadeshiko to prepare tea before making herself comfortable atop Vahn’s lap.
“You’ve been very busy these past few weeks…it’s making a lot of people very nervous…”
Shrugging his shoulders, Vahn replied, “I’m going home. If they get in my way, I’ll remove them. It’s as simple as that…”
Punctuating his words, Vahn gave Shiroyasha’s butt a firm squeeze as he planted a kiss on her lips. She was currently in her more diminutive form, but, after ‘mingling’ with Yordles, most of the inhibitions he had regarding a person’s size had faded into nothingness.
Feeling an intense surge of heat and pleasure spread through her body, Shiroyasha’s voice became a little shaky as she broke free from Vahn’s kiss and asked, “What will you do with those who stand aside? Will you just ignore them, despite the tragedies they had wrought unto others?”
While continuing to massage Shiroyasha’s butt, Vahn calmly replied, “I’m not trying to purge ‘evil’ from the world. My penultimate goal is to lessen its influence and create a world where the innocent have greater freedom to choose the path they walk…”
“Mmm…well, so long as you give them a way out, everything should be fine…”
Though she got the impression that Vahn was starting to become like the monsters inhabiting the single-digit Gates, Shiroyasha had already thrown her lot in with him. He was the only one with the power to bring about the changes she desired, and, more importantly, the ideals Vahn represented were in line with her own.
With such thoughts on her mind, Shiroyasha closed the distance between her’s and Vahn’s lips, comforted by the notion that, if nothing else, he was the one person capable of making her feel like a woman…

Taking advantage of the fact that Vahn had allowed them to seduce him, Muninn waited until he had finished with Lenneth and Vor before casually inquiring, “If you don’t mind my asking, when are you planning to visit the South? The Allfather has been awaiting your arrival for some time…”
While asking her question, Muninn readily and eagerly spread her cheeks as she laid face down with her butt in the air. In response, Vahn inserted himself inside of her, sheathing himself to the root as he replied, “I’ll stop by tomorrow if it’s that pressing an issue.”
Without waiting for Muninn’s response, Vahn effortlessly scooped her up into a precarious position known as the Standing Nelson. This prevented Muninn from immediately responding, her body trembling violently every time Vahn thrust into her from below. She attempted to cut off her sense of pleasure, but Vahn didn’t allow it as he contorted her body into various positions.
Under ordinary circumstances, Vahn would drag things out and enjoy his time with the trio of Valkyries as much as possible. However, to prevent himself from becoming sidetracked, the Quest he created counted time even when slowed, stopped, or outright reversed its flow.
Unfortunately for Muninn, this meant Vahn would no longer be ‘playing around’ when she seduced him. He may have taken his time if she loved him, but they both knew why she had joined the Research Division. She acted as an agent of Odin, and the only thing she genuinely cared about was acquiring additional knowledge.
Despite her efforts to retain her senses, it wasn’t long before Muninn’s mind had blanked due to pleasure. For several minutes, all she could do was produce animalistic noises and moans as Vahn demonstrated for her the danger of ‘provoking’ him carelessly. When Lenneth and Vor saw this, the two of them were genuinely surprised as they couldn’t even imagine their usually stoic leader producing such obscene noises.
Sensing the duo’s thoughts, Vahn allowed Muninn to fall onto her hands and knees, his hips rhythmically smacking into the cushion of her toned buttocks as he said, “Relax. Unless you request it of me, I’m not going to bully the two of you like this…”
Hearing Vahn’s words, Lenneth couldn’t help swallowing hard as she imagined what it would be like to experience such intense pleasure. Vor was having similar thoughts, but, unlike the younger Valkyrie, she wasn’t even remotely afraid. In fact, ever since Vahn had given them the ability to reproduce, she had been eagerly anticipating the day he impregnated her…
