The sparks in his hair increased rapidly as he waited for her answer. He is not nervous about her answer. He will be okay regardless of her decision. But he is agitated. Hence the increase in the sparks in his hair.
Her answer will determine a lot of his strength as a world god. But most importantly, her answer will affect their relationship. They can either become closer or become estranged.
She laughed as she replied. "What do I say to what? You haven't asked me for anything."
He smiled and said, "That's true."
He realized his blunder. So he coughed and asked again. "Lady HadrickomaniKai, will you do me the honor of being the will of my world and be bonded with me for the rest of eternity?"
"Yes, I will." She said as she hugged him.
Then she whispered in his ear, "We will make wonderful babies together."
He smiled at her remark. She is right. The two of them will be creating life. She will be creating life by using his essence and his law of order. In a way, they are a couple now. They are also the truest couple. Their marriage is unbreakable and it will be enforced forever. The two of them will be bonded for all of eternity. They will be together through thick and thin. They won't be able to get rid of the other one even if they manage to suppress them. Any other type of marriage is a sham compared to theirs.
This time, their hug didn't take a long time. They had barely been hugging for a few minutes when Hadrick separated.
She said to him, "Let's go start now. You'll show me your world and we'll start on the babymaking. We have eternity together so we can fight at another time."
"Alright." Ghastorix accepted.
He produced a black shard and offered it to her. She took it and absorbed it quickly. The two of them grinned at each other. The bonding between them is mutual which is a good thing. He could have forced her to be the will of his world. He is vastly stronger than her so it will be very easy to do but that will come back to bite him.
You should not force someone that will have great power over your world to be the will of your world. That is a recipe for disaster. It will lead to a bad ending unless you suppress them. But why bother with getting the will of a world early if you're just going to suppress them? That's why he didn't try to bribe her with the life crystal. The position is eternal so it should not be taken with malcontentment and ill feelings.
He also cares deeply about her. She is more than his friend so he doesn't want to force her to do something that she doesn't want to do. He can always get another will of the realm if she disagrees but he can never change his will of the realm. It is better to lose his accumulated wealth than to be stuck with an angry partner for all of eternity. It will hurt to lose his savings but he can make more as a world god.
Her figure became faint after absorbing the black shard. Then she disappeared completely. She has merged with him and his world now. She can't leave his world ever again. But he gave her some of his willpower so that she can manifest within the void universe. Her figure appeared again in front of him.
He can choose to never allow her to manifest in the void universe but she can also choose to do things he wouldn't like within his world. By becoming the will of his world she has become his equal within his world. It is best not to antagonize your equal in anything. It is wiser not to antagonize your equal in the control of your world.
"Alright let's go." She said eagerly.
"Form up everyone," Ghastorix ordered with a shout.
All the origin gods became attentive immediately.
Ghastorix explained where they will be going to them. "We will pay the Tinoko brothers a visit. It will be mostly small stuff. We won't harass them too much."
The origin gods shared a laugh. They found their ancestor saying he won't harass the Tinoko brothers too much to be funny. They rarely attack someone without it going out of hand. This short fight might become the start of a thousand years feud between them and the Tinoko brothers.
"We will not fight them if they pay up. But things will get nasty if they don't. It's the usual. Everyone except Guntu will participate in it. Deploy the battleships." He ordered.
Great big ships appeared in the void. The ships look like submarines but only the lower half is made of thick opaque material. The upper half is transparent so they can see through it. There are windows on the lower half too for those below to see out from.
The ships don't need the transparent upper half or the windows to show the outside world since each ship is a world fragment. Anyone can see the outside from the inside with a 360-degree point of view. Ghastorix wanted them to look that way for the aesthetic.
It is one of the perks of having a world god on your side. And being that world god, you get to make cool world fragments to your taste. If you want ships that look like pirate ships then you get ships that look like pirate ships. 10 of these great big ships were deployed in an imposing manner.
Lady Hadrick squealed in delight. "You got the ships I wanted. They look so wonderful."
"Yes. It's just like we planned to do. We will ride ships and raid the upper realm. Nothing will stop us. We will go wherever we want to go. Will you join me on this adventure?"
"Yes, please." She replied in delight.
It has always been her dream to roam the world without fear instead of having to hide and be stationary. Now her dream will be fulfilled so she is very happy. Legion is also happy for them. Soverick grinned when he felt the bonding of Hadrick and his ancestor. It is a grin of anticipation.
