15 chapter 13

[Aster pov]

1 year later 

One year has passed since I confessed my love to Yue, Alora and Trihexa.

During that time, not much occurred aside from my creation of the Voice of the World for the Realm of Origin. 

This decision was driven by my desire to provide my creations, particularly Abaddon and others on the island, with opportunities for greater strength and evolution.

I've also noticed a peculiar development in Ophis. as her emotional and intellectual capacities expand, her physical appearance matures. 

Initially 137 centimeters tall, Ophis has since grown by 8 centimeters, now standing at 146 centimeters.

Apart from that, life has been relatively quiet. I've spent my time observing and interacting with my creations, also making sure to spend quality time with the girls, if you know what I mean, hehehe.

Overall, it's been a period of subtle changes and quiet moments of reflection amidst the bustling activity of the realm.

Anyways, As I reclined on the couch, engrossed in manga and sipping tea served by Abaddon, the girls, excluding Yue, relaxed by the pool, attended to by the new maids.

Yes, I had allowed Abaddon to select staff such as maids and butlers to assist in managing our home.

Meanwhile, Elara and Aurie had assumed the roles of my secretaries, ensuring the smooth operation of affairs on our flying island.

Hmm, perhaps it's time to consider a name for the island, especially now that it has evolved into more of a country.

As I finished my manga, a surge of excitement filled me. It was time, time to start creating within the DxD universe.

"Yue, it's time to begin,"(Aster)

I said to Yue through [thoughts communication].

Since my confession, Yue had chosen to remain within my soul, emerging only occasionally to spend time with the girls. 

When questioned, she simply expressed a desire to remain close to me, finding solace and warmth within my soul.

"Umu! Let's begin, Master,"(Yue)

Yue's voice resonated with enthusiasm.

With Yue's encouragement, I rose from the couch, gesturing for Abaddon to join me. Together, we traversed a portal to the DxD universe.

Abaddon and I stepped through the portal, finding ourselves engulfed in darkness, much like I remembered it.

"Alright, let's begin."(Aster)

I declared, ready to embark on the task of creation.

-

"Sigh, only the earth left."(Aster)

With a sigh, I acknowledged that only the creation of the Earth remained.

"We're almost there," (Yue)

Yue chimed in, her voice filled with excitement.

As we approached the completion of our task, a voice of admiration broke the silence. 

"My lord and lady, you have done a wonderful job."(Abaddon)

Three days had passed since our endeavor began, and now, only the Earth is left.

I had briefed Abaddon on Yue's role as my partner, albeit not the entire truth, like her original being a skill.

This time, I didn't use [turn null] energy or [stardust energy] to maintain the original power balance within the DxD universe, with the exception of a select few that piqued my interest.

Raising my hand, I prepared to shape the Earth.

"Let's do this, Yue,"(Aster)

"Umu! And then it's back home for more sweets," (Yue)

She replied with a hint of mischief, getting a chuckle out of me.

Using my creation and life abilities, I started crafted the Earth, infusing it with additional strength and resilience compared to its counterpart in the original DxD universe.

My intention was to fortify it against potential destruction, ensuring its stability and longevity.

After a brief span of time, the Earth materialized before us.

However, with my vision and perception, I noticed a quietly large woman sleeping upon the newly created Earth, seemingly intertwined with its very essence.

I had a strong sense of recognition regarding her identity, and I could perceive a profound connection between the Earth and the woman, as though she embodied the very essence of the planet itself.

'Master, that is—"'(Yue)

"I know, Yue." (Aster)

I interrupted, my gaze fixed upon the sleeping woman before us.

The woman lying on the ground before us left no room for doubt. she was Gaia, the primordial goddess of the Earth.
