“I want… your wombs!” The god said as he spread his arms out with his palms facing the air. It was an awe-inducing pose, but the words coming out of his mouth were so shocking that it left everyone listening dumbstruck. Nothing could have prepared them for the vulgar statement that came out of the gods mouth.

However, the princess and the other 3 girls were rather quick-witted and they couldn’t help but think of the offer that the god was giving them. He wanted to give them some kind of power in exchange for their wombs? Did the god want to impregnate them? Wouldn’t that mean that they would obtain power, AND children of god?!

They always knew that one day they would have to find a spouse and continue the bloodlines of their grand noble families. Love was rarely ever involved and the most opportune candidates were those with the best genes or at least power. This was something that had been practised amongst the powerful families for millions of years before them, and they had no desire to change that.

Each of the 4 girls had already kept an eye on a few males they were interested in for the future, but in the face of this bizarre opportunity, all of those boys had all been thrown to the back of their minds. If the god was true to his words, then they would be granted with his seed! They would give birth to the children of god! How could they be anything less than ecstatic?!

“Your holiness” began one of the Noble girls as she stepped forward “It would be my greatest honour to give birth to your children.” she said with her hands demurely clasped together and her head bowed.

Apparently, they could move again.

The other girls rushed forth to say roughly the same, but the god's attention seemed to have been caught by the one who spoke first.

“I see… What is your name?” he asked as he gave her an evaluative glance that sent shivers down her spine.

“My name is Tina Alstreim, your Holiness.” she answered with visible glee. Tina Alstreim was a great beauty descended from 1 of the 4 greatest noble families in the Ifeden Empire called the Alstreim Family. She had silken blonde hair, sky blue eyes, a curvaceous figure that seemed even more enticing than that of the Princess, and soft unblemished skin that beckoned the eyes.

A great beauty indeed.

“Mmm…” The god hummed before nodding, causing Tina to feel both shy and proud, and the other 3 girls including the princess to feel jealous. However, what the god said next nearly shocked them silly.

“All of you seem to have misunderstood… I do not intend to impregnate any of you at all. In fact, quite the contrary. I am about to take all of the eggs in your womb but one, and nothing in this World would be able to recover them.”

To that, the girls froze and soon began to pale as the reality of what had just occurred dawned upon them. Had they just proposed to spread their legs for a god who wasn’t even interested in the first place? What a blunder! What if he thinks they were promiscuous? What if he-

“Relax…” the god said with his cloud-like voice. “There is no need to fret. I understand that I wasn’t clear in my statement and that it was quite easy to misunderstand, for that I apologise.” the god said as he placed a hand on his chest in a sincere manner.

‘Wow…’ the princess thought with growing awe, her previous fear nowhere to be found. Courtesy of the gods impeccable voice. ‘Not only is he kind, patient and understanding, he seems to be able to read our mind... As expected from the god.’ The princess nodded.

None of them seemed to be upset about the fact that the amount of children they could give birth to was about to be reduced to 1 for eternity.

The god snapped his head to the sky and continued to stare at it for a couple seconds in a pensive manner before looking back at the 4 girls. Clearly, something had changed.

“It looks like I don’t have as much time as I thought… I must return quickly if I don’t want all of my work on this World for the last ‘few’ years to be reduced to waste. So be fast and tell me if you wish to accept my blessing.” he said in a tense manner that seemed to thicken the air, making each breath a bit of a struggle.

The girls panicked at the sudden change in the situation and rushed to accept his proposal, unwilling to let the chance of a god's blessing fly away from them.

“I accept!” “Your Holiness, I accept!” “I-I accept!” “This lowly one accepts your grace!”

Something seemed to change in the gods face but it only lasted for a moment before it was gone.

“Very well then~” he said before he disappeared and reappeared in front of Tina Alstreim with a single flash. The girl let out a short gasp but was silenced when the god placed his right hand on her head. Soon after, golden energy began to seep into her in droves and it didn’t take long for her to start screaming.

However, the other girls weren’t afraid but were instead wildly elated. They all knew that with great increases of power there was almost always a severe pain that came along with it. They had all suffered to such a fate numerous times in the past from legendary treasures that their families had been able to obtain for them and were therefore quite used to it, so for Tina to be screaming like this, it meant that the power she was gaining was like nothing else they had ever seen before. And they were about to receive the same thing! What joy!

2 minutes later, even though the girl had learnt to keep her voice, her face was still distorted with pain. However, the black and slimy sludge-looking thing that began to seep out of her pores caused the girls watching to once again gasp with shock.

Impurity cleansing!

Everybody knew how hard such a thing was to come by after surpassing the Body Refinement Realm, and although they had received unique treasures that had achieved this feat in the past, they were far and in between, and never like this! The amount of impurities being forced out of Tina’s body was unheard of!

At this point, they were almost panting with anticipation.

3 minutes later, Tina broke through to the next stage and the ordeal was over. However, the princess who was the strongest of them thought she saw Tina’s abdomen area glow with a golden light for a split second. However, she reckoned that it was merely the god taking his due and shrugged it off.

The god didn’t waste any time and moved on to the next girl, then the next, until finally it was her turn.

She went through the same thing as the other girls, and when it was almost over, she saw with her Spirit Sense how all of the egg cells in her womb but 1 were eradicated in an instant with a golden glow. But just as a sentimental pain was about to overcome her, she saw a golden glow light up within the last remaining egg cell, and saw how it began to change colour, becoming something much more powerful than it used to be. And although she didn’t know what the effects were, she was sure that the child born from that egg would be extremely gifted!

The princess was ecstatic and began to sing countless praises to the god in her heart.

But what she didn’t know was that even though the same thing happened to the other girls, the resulting glow that lit up on her abdomen was much brighter, and there was a little… extra something, that had been added into that egg cell that the other girls didn’t receive.

Something that would change the fate of the entire Yamelon World forever.
