Chapter 489 - 489: Even My Newborns Are Abnormal!

Anne and Hayes laughed sheepishly at me, especially Hayes, who was flashing such a creepy smile that the hair on the back of my neck stood on end.

"Husband, do you remember my promise to you?" Hayes asked, that creepy smile still plastered across her face.

"I… don't remember," I stuttered.

"Well, since you've forgotten, I, as your wife, will remind you." She rubbed her stomach and gave me a sultry look.

Seriously, even a succubus couldn't compare to how seductive she was right now, despite being heavily pregnant.

"Don't keep me on edge. Just say it!" I replied in frustration.

"Teehee, what's the hurry? It's no big deal. I said I was going to give you twelve babies. After I give birth and rest for about a week, we'll have another baby. I'm so horny to carry your bab—"

"No way! No fucking way!" I shot to my feet at lightning speed, frantically waving my hands to show just how much I opposed the idea.

"Fufufu, he's going to cough up blood when he learns that I plan to have thirteen," Anne giggled.

…

Just like me, everyone who had initially been laughing froze in shock.

Perhaps they thought Hayes was joking, but only I knew just how crazy these two could be.

Even my mom looked shocked to the core, probably stunned by how perverted her friend was.

"Whoa, is this some kind of fetish or what? I can't even imagine having more than two kids." Blair broke the silence. As she spoke, her body seemed to shiver at the thought of something, probably imagining herself in Hayes' position as a human.

Hearing Blair's words, a sinister thought suddenly popped into my mind.

Finally! A chance to get back at her!

I flashed a crooked smile at her, my eyes glowing red as I made sure my expression was as creepy as hell.

"Hehe, why would you say that, my dear Blair? You're actually my favorite. I believe we talked about you having six kids for me, right? Are you going back on your word, heh? Should I have a chat with your dad?" I giggled mischievously.

Blair looked terrified, staring at me as though I were the Grim Reaper himself.

She then scurried away like a rat and hid behind my mom.

"Jill, Jake is bullying me! No way am I having an additional five kids. At worst, I'll have my womb removed after two kids."

"And I'll just regrow your womb and make it better than before, with enough room to accommodate twins or triplets."

The moment I said that, Blair's face turned pale, and she froze like a statue.

"Hey, hey, don't bully Blair. Let's talk about these two perverts who started it in the first place," Jill said, pointing at Hayes and Anne.

Just like that, everyone turned to look at the duo, except for one person.

"Hmph, isn't she supposed to be the strongest? Why is she afraid of having so many babies for Master? If Master wants, I'll give him forty babies. Easy peasy! My aunt had fifty babies for her husband, and she's still counting," Stella declared with her chest puffed out, looking down on everyone else as though they were mere ants.

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, especially Anne and Hayes.

They had thought they were perverts, but alas, there was always a bigger fish in the ocean. They stared at Stella as though she were the abnormal one.

"What a load of crap from a maniac. Blair is no longer the strongest among the harem. Amber holds that title now. As for why I want to have thirteen babies, that's because it's a royal tradition of our clan. My mom will be having twelve because she's already had one before, which is me. I won't say anything more, since I can't reveal my clan's secrets. However, I had to explain that much because I didn't want to be lumped together with this musclehead," Anne said with a snort, making Stella grit her teeth.

"You sly cat! Who are you calling a musclehead and a maniac? I'll stew you someday!"

"Stew me? That's exactly why I call you a musclehead! You actually think about making stew out of me? J-J-J-Just what are you going to do to my baby when she's born?" Anne asked, putting on a fake expression of terror.

"Y-You're shameless! You bully! That's not what I meant!" Stella retorted, her face flushing red with embarrassment.

She finally cowered and sat quietly.

Just as everyone burst into laughter, Anne and Hayes' faces suddenly contorted in pain.

"Kyaaaaaa!"

Anne screamed, clutching her stomach in pain. Hayes also grabbed her stomach, but she seemed to be handling the pain without making a fuss.

"So soon?!" Jill exclaimed in panic, shooting to her feet.

Before anyone could reach Anne and Hayes, I let a significant amount of my blood aura leak out, then lifted the chairs they were sitting on into the air and dashed toward the warpers.

Jill rushed after me, and we both jumped into the warper along with Anne and Hayes, who were in labor.

The next moment, we appeared in a small room that quickly became cramped because of the chairs.

I was stunned for a moment, wondering why Hayes had placed the warper in such a tiny room. However, I didn't dwell on it. I carried Anne and Hayes out of the room and dashed toward the living room.

I'd only been here once, so I wasn't very familiar with the place.

Just then, I encountered a maid walking toward us while mumbling something to herself.

When she saw us, she froze. But the moment her eyes landed on Anne and Hayes and she noticed their condition, she threw away the tray in her hands and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Help! The clan leader is about to give birth!"

The maid's voice rang out so loudly that it almost seemed like some kind of ability. Almost instantly, I felt the ground beneath us shake as hurried footsteps echoed throughout the palace.

Before long, several midwives arrived, paid their respects to me, and took Anne and Hayes away.

When I tried to follow them into the delivery room, one of the midwives stopped me.

"M-My lord~ You can't follow us into the delivery room. Please forgive me," she said in a trembling voice, her legs shaking as though they were about to give out.

What the fuck? Why is she so scared? Am I going to eat her?

{Just take a look at yourself. Those red eyes of yours would scare the crap out of someone before they even had the chance to realize how handsome you are.}

Ah, Mimi. You're still alive. Why have you been ignoring me?

{Waah! Do you want me dead!? Hmph, I was just taking a rest. Besides, you've gotten so strong that the system feels practically useless now. Ever since you learned about the different types of energy from Amber, whatever the system offers you feels like crap.}

Don't feel bad. I appreciate what you do. Someday, I'll find a way to extract your soul and forge a body for you. I want to create a powerful fairy body for you, just like the one you had in your past life.

{Dummy, I'll talk to you later. Your wives are giving birth! Look at the phenomenon occurring outside.}

Immediately after Mimi said that, I looked out the window and saw a huge cloud forming overhead. Lightning bolts flashed within it, making it look as though the storm were about to swallow the entire palace.

Damn, what kind of phenomenon is this?

Just as I was wondering about it, Jill approached me and stared out the window as well.

"This… doesn't look good. It's a celestial phenomenon. I once heard from my mom that chosen ones destined to ascend to godhood in the future often trigger celestial phenomena at birth. This means the child is either Anne's or Hayes'."

Hearing Jill's words, my heart skipped a beat.

This was even worse than being a god slayer.

"If the gods catch wind of this, they'll find a way to eliminate the candidate before the child matures. I need to do something!" I exclaimed in panic before flying out through the window and leaping into the massive cloud and thunderstorm.

Then I threw a powerful punch.

"Behemoth Fist!" I bellowed as I struck the lightning without holding back.

A massive spatial tear appeared in the sky, looking as though it were about to swallow the entire city. The thunderstorm was sucked into the tear, which then vanished as space healed itself.

After the phenomenon disappeared, I returned to the palace and landed beside Jill.

That was when I saw one of the midwives running toward me frantically. She nearly tripped, but I caught her just in time.

"My lord! My lord!"

"Calm down and speak," I said, patting the midwife reassuringly.

"M-My lord, the clan leader has given birth. The second mistress is still in labor!"

"Wow! Can I go and see her now?" I asked excitedly, but the midwife respectfully shook her head.

"My lord, please wait a few moments so we can clean up the clan leader and the new little mistress. The clan leader said she doesn't want you to see her looking weak right now, so I beg you to—"

"It's fine. You don't need to say any more. That woman… even at a time like this, she's still trying to act tough," I said, an unfamiliar emotion rising within me.

It was a mixture of joy and relief, knowing that Hayes and the baby were fine.

But there was still Anne.

After the midwife left, Jill turned to me and said, "Congratulations, son. To think Hayes would give birth to a child with godly potential! You have to protect that child at all costs, Jake." She held my hands and looked at me expectantly.

To think that I, a dignified Protoss, would father a god candidate of all things—the very kind of being I opposed!

However, I'll protect my daughter at all costs and help her become the most powerful god ever!

Suddenly, I heard a shrill cry from the delivery room.

It was Anne's voice. She was always so dramatic.

However, I felt a pang in my chest this time. That cry didn't sound as though she were merely being dramatic. Compared to Anne, Hayes was on an entirely different level when it came to enduring pain.

Suddenly, Anne's voice fell silent.

Then I heard a baby's cry, much louder than Hayes' baby's.

As expected, Anne's child was just as dramatic.
