Non-existance
🕑 Added 2022-12-03 12:00:04 +0000 UTCSeth watched over Henrietta until she finally opened her eyes late into the evening. Feeling Seth’s warm hand holding onto hers, she turned her head to the side and saw Seth looking back at her with a worried face.
“Why are you sulking again?” asked Henrietta, moving her other hand to hold onto Seth’s.
“I’m not sulking. I’m just worried about you. How do you feel?” asked Seth.
Henrietta nodded and raised her back from the bed, letting her feet dangle freely from the side. After stretching lazily, she stood up and said: “See? I’m fine.”
“That’s not what I meant. Something happened with my lust source again. Don’t you remember?”
Henrietta brought her index finger to her chin and asked: “Other than the best sex ever, no. I only remember it being so good that I passed out from pleasure. If that came from your lust source, I can’t wait until you break the ninth shell.”
Seth smiled wryly and nodded: “As long as you’re fine. Please let me know if you notice anything out of order.”
Henrietta smiled and tip-toed to kiss his lips before nodding: “Stop worrying so much. Everything is fine.”
After finishing her words, Henrietta channeled her destruction energy and used it to remove the bed, but it also cleaved a small part of the floor underneath."
Both she and Seth frowned while looking at the small scratch on the floor. “Are you sure you’re fine?”
Henrietta didn’t reply this time, and she channeled her destruction energy in the palm of her hand. An undulating orb of energy appeared above her hand as she said: “I’m fine, but something did indeed happen to my source. My destruction energy is a bit more difficult to control.”
Following her words, she summoned her three other energies and tested them briefly, but the same thing repeated. The orbs she created were all weirdly shaped, and giving them a perfectly round shape proved extremely difficult.
“They are all the same.”
Seth nodded and asked: “Do you mind letting me look at your destruction source?”
Henrietta appeared to completely forget about her control problem and immediately smiled as she lifted the top she was wearing, letting her breasts out right in front of Seth. “Look as much as you want. It’s at my heart.”
Shaking his head, Seth placed a hand right under her left breast and communicated with the system.
‘Let me see the source directly.’
Once his vision changed and he could see through her body, straight at her source, he slowly directed his destruction energy to probe inside.
At first, he didn’t spot anything unusual. The form of Henrietta’s source was perfectly round, with no traces of impurities and all six of her remaining shells appear to also be in perfect condition.
Figuring there must be something out of order, Seth looked towards the smiling Henrietta with a serious face and said: “I can’t find anything at first glance. I will insert a strand of my destruction energy inside and pierce a hole through your fourth shell.”
Henrietta’s smile dimmed slightly as she asked: “That will hurt, won’t it?”
“Yes, but I don’t want to leave anything to chance. Whatever is happening with my lust source is already starting to become dangerous. If you had used a portal to leave the throne room, you might have been seriously injured or even worse.”
Henrietta took a deep breath and nodded. “Fine. Do it.”
Closing his eyes again, Seth started slowly inserting a strand of destruction energy inside her source. Once his energy passed all of her shells, he materialized it before using its fourth shell density to start piercing her shell.
“Argh.” Henrietta groaned in pain, supporting herself by holding onto Seth’s arm, her eyes closed tightly and blood flowing down the corner of her lips.
Seth knew she must be in a lot of pain but didn’t stop the procedure and even increased its speed. After piercing a hole through her fourth shell, Seth had to support her from falling down with his free arm, the pain getting so bad that it sapped the strength from her entire body.
“I’m done.” Said Seth softly, using the system to look closely for whatever was causing her to lose control, but his destruction energy gave him the answer instead.
Melted into the structure of the fourth shell were traces of his own energy, the reason for him not noticing it earlier being that Henrietta’s own energy kept it locked deep inside her shells.
After it was released from its prison, the energy broke free and started fusing with Seth’s own strand of energy probing her source. Quickly pulling his energy back, Seth removed his hand from her heart and sighed.
“Focus your energy and fix the damage I made. The hole is not that large, and it should not take you more than a day or two to patch it up.” Said Seth while pulling her top over her breasts once more.
Henrietta nodded weekly and asked: “Is it bad?”
Seth smiled and wiped the blood from her lips with his finger, using a small amount of destruction energy to clean it up thoroughly, before shaking his head: “It’s not bad. It might even be something amazing, but it depends on your ability to use this chance.”
“Something amazing?” asked Henrietta with a frown.
“Yes. A trace of my destruction energy somehow got sapped out of my source and absorbed into yours. I can imagine the same happened with the other energies as well. It might simply be a boost in cultivation for the other three, but for the destruction source, it’s a lot more.”
“The destruction energy has been altered by my divinity and contains a trace of the concept of non-existence. Try to carefully analyze the energy as you absorb it into your source, which will be a great advantage for you in the future.”
“Non-existence? What is that?” asked Henrietta, not having heard that term before.
“It’s part of the knowledge you will need to break past the sixth shell and is the fundamental concept destruction energy uses. Explaining more to you now is meaningless, but simply getting a feel for it will drastically decrease the time you need to break past the fifth shell for the destruction source.”
After Henrietta nodded, Seth picked her up into a princess carry and opened a small portal nearby: “Let me take you to your room so you can rest. Focus on fixing your destruction source and absorbing the other energies. Try not to use them too much before you gain complete control over them.”
After laying Henrietta on her bed, Seth kissed her forehead and said: “Rest well.”
Henrietta grabbed his hand and said weekly: “Seth, I love you.”
“I love you too.” Replied Seth with a smile before teleporting away.
Once back into the throne room, he quickly repaired all the damage done to the room and opened the doors. The two court officials in front of the door blushed as they bowed toward Seth.
“Not a word of anything you might have heard today.” Said Seth with a stern look.
“Understood, Your Majesty.” Replied the two officials immediately.
“Good.” Said Seth with a nod before closing the door. After the doors to the throne room were closed, he teleported away.
Inside the room he appeared in, Maya and Tiana were lying on the floor and giggling. They stopped when Seth arrived and turned towards him.
“Have you recovered?” asked Seth, sitting between them and dragging their naked bodies into his arms.
Tiana nodded silently, and Maya said: “We did. Are you here for more?”
Seth slapped her ass hard and said: “Is sex the only thing in that pretty little head of yours?”
“Look who’s talking. Hmph.”
Shaking his head, Seth looked towards the ceiling, saying: “I would love to spend the entire time with you two, but there are many things I need to take care of.”
“Then delegate some of those things. You’re a king now. You have people who can do these tedious tasks in your stead.” Said Maya, and even Tiana nodded softly from the side.
“There’s only so much I can delegate. Some things I must take care of on my own. I need to hold a speech for both the people of the kingdom and the ascended who will soon depart. I need to find a bunch of kids to pass some knowledge onto. I need to figure out more about my lust source and why it has so many unexpected effects on the people around me, I need - “
His words were stopped by Maya sitting up and sealing his lips with her own. Caressing his face gently after breaking the kiss, she said: “Slow down, love, or you’ll run yourself dry.”
“The speech to the people is better if you held it since the people have not heard from you for a long time, but the one at the academy can be held by either the other girls or me.”
“I don’t know what kind of kids you’re looking for, but there is a job board displayed at the entrance of the Knight Quarters. You can post what you need and have the people you’re looking for coming to you themselves.”
“For your lust source, just note what is happening and what you know, and I’m sure Hollie would be more than happy to look into it for you. She might not have the knowledge, but you said it’s related to the soul, and she already plans on reading about souls, so after giving her the knowledge, just entrust her to find out why your source misbehaves like that.”
“You’re returning to your habit of trying to solve everything yourself. Remember what you promised us. Let us help.”
Seth sighed and nodded, seeing from Maya’s eyes that she was not planning to take no for an answer. “Fine. We’ll do it like that.”
Tiana tugged on his shirt from the side and said: “Master, I can also help…. No, I want to help. Can master please give me a task as well?”
Seth sighed again and rubbed her head like one would with a puppy before saying: “Fine.”
‘I need an IQ test from the former records. Make sure its questions do not require more advanced knowledge than the basic one in the kingdom. Also, add a question that is impossible to answer.’
After a list of questions appeared in his vision, Seth created a small booklet and handed it to Tiana.
“You can take care of finding me some smart kids. I only need kids between 14 and 25 years old. Post this booklet on the job board and explain that I’m searching for someone to answer these questions. Have someone note down their answers and names before delivering them to me. Tell them their king will fulfill one request they have if they can answer all of them correctly.”
Tiana happily took the booklet before sitting up with excitement, only to blush and say: “Can master teleport me back to my room?”
Seth looked over her naked body before chuckling and opening a portal for her. Tiana bit her lip, already feeling wet, and rushed into the portal.
“I’ll prepare the speech for the academy students. Is there anything you need me to focus on?” asked Maya as she got up from Seth’s body.
Seth stood up and created clothes for her before saying: “Just a normal motivational speech. I’ll review it once it’s done and let you know if there’s a need to change anything.”
Maya nodded, and after getting dressed, she kissed Seth’s lips as she said: “I love you, now send me out and prepare a reward for me.”
“What reward? You still owe me one after losing the bet.” Said Seth, creating a portal leading to her room.
Maya poked her tongue out playfully and rushed into the portal as well. After he was left alone, Seth shook his head and teleported away.
