However, Orion shook his head in disagreement. "These are our only vials, so I don't think it would be a good idea. If I open it, who knows if the diluted Vylkr energy within it would escape," he replied.
Aerialia furrowed her brows. "True," she nodded.
Orion returned the golden vial to the compartment and closed it shortly before packing the Devourer's bracelets back into the sack and sealing it shut.
Then, he held the orb in his hand and summoned the mountain. Almost instantly, a miniature hand-sized spinning brownish mountain appeared before him. After a moment, the miniature-sized mountain came to a halt. Without expending much of his energies, Orion ensured they were in direct contact with each other and commanded the mountain to swallow up the orb.
Within a second, the orb vanished and reappeared in a secured location within the mountain.
Of course, he could use the Vylkr energy and exert control over the mountain to a significant extent. However, it was already apparent that the Vylkr energy wasn't universally compatible with everything and could potentially lead to more harm than good.
"Oh, and tomorrow I plan on taking Queen Selene to the Garden so she can assimilate with the divine blood," Orion said, redirecting his attention towards Aerialia.
Aerialia raised a brow. "Have you carefully considered the implications?" she asked.
"Yes, however, we won't know the outcome until we attempt it," Orion responded. "Besides, based on what Crystalia told me, I don't think she is willing to wait any longer," he added.
Aerialia sighed deeply as she nodded, "Okay, if that's the case, then you have nothing to worry about. Since she will be assimilating with the Divine blood, I doubt anything bad will happen to her," Aerialia said.
Orion nodded in appreciation, "Thank you," he responded. He recognized that Aerialia was trying to offer reassurance and appreciated her effort.
Aerialia nodded again, "If that's settled, I will be going now. Summon me when you arrive at the Garden for the assimilation so I can see if there is anything I can do to help," she replied.
Orion nodded once more. He watched as Aerialia disappeared into a stream of light, vanishing into the small Crimson greatsword mark on his right hand. Then, he securely held the sack in his grasp and stood up, leaving the room.
Orion stirred awake as he felt a wet, warm sensation around his shaft. The night before, after leaving the room and quickly returning upstairs to head back to his Children's Master bedroom, he had encountered his mother in the hallway. She was also on her way to check on the children.
Nonetheless, upon finding Saria, Gina, and Ursa taking care of the children and learning that he had left in the middle of the night to attend to some matters, much to Gina's displeasure, she immediately dragged him to his master's bedroom to ensure that he slept and didn't go anywhere this time around.
Orion felt the build-up in balls the moment his mother wet tongue slid over his sack and warned, "I'm cumming!"
Hearing Orion's words and feeling as her son's hardened penis throbbed between her lips, Celeste's immediately pulled back her lips and sandwiched it between her breast. Almost instantly, a burst of thick, warm semen shot out, spraying around her large breasts and face.
"Ahh~~" Celeste moaned. She squirted, feeling her son's semen covering her face before she proceeded to scoop it with her finger and swallow it.
Orion patiently observed until Celeste finished and rose from the bed. Then, he straightened himself and stood up as well. It was obvious that Merida and Greta had already awoken and begun their day.
Celeste neatly folded the bedsheets and set them aside before approaching Orion and embracing him. "Derry and the others have already settled on a location for their workspace, and everything will be set up within the next week," she informed him.
"Alright, let me know when everything's set so I can come to check it out," Orion nodded.
"I need to go somewhere today, so I don't want to be late," he added.
Celeste grumbled under her breath upon hearing Orion's words. However, instead of releasing him, she tightened her grip around him.
"Why don't you stay home today and take a break?" Celeste suggested, her gaze stubborn as she looked at Orion.
"I have a ton of tasks to handle, not just today but throughout the entire week," Orion replied, a weary sigh slipping past his lips. But as he felt Celeste's grip tighten around him, he softened. "But how about this—I'll make a deal with you. I'll promise to wrap things up early today and dedicate the rest of my time to you and everyone else. How does that sound?"
"I guess that would do," Celeste said, exhaling tiredly in defeat. "Even though I appreciate how much better things have become, sometimes I miss our former lives. We used to have so much time to waste and didn't have to worry about everything happening within the Village," she leaned in to rest her head on Orion's shoulder as she recalled the family discussion from yesterday.
"I understand that it's difficult, and you wouldn't trade your position with anyone even if given the chance. But I want you to take it easy from now on and promise to share everything troubling you with us. Even if we can't find a solution, it's better than keeping it to yourself, okay," Celeste added, her eyes welling with tears as she tried to hold them back.
Orion reached out and gently wiped the tears from her eyes. Though he had many thoughts swirling in his mind, he understood that, at this moment, there was only one thing she needed to hear.
Orion nodded with a tender smile. "I promise," he assured her.
A warm, comforting silence enveloped the room briefly as Celeste regained her composure. But just as she was about to speak, the door to Orion's master bedroom burst open—
Orion and Celeste turned their heads towards the door to see who it was.
It was none other than Crystalia.
