10 Chapter 10: I have a child?

Perseus felt that his existence would only cause more chaos in he stayed any longer. So, he grabbed his wive's hands before pulling them away from the throne hall.

Just before he left, he heard Tarturus saying

"I came too hurriedly and forgot to bring a wedding gift. I'll drop by tomorrow during breakfast and give the gift then."

With that, he disappeared.

After hearing what Tarturus had said, the other Nine Beginning Titans also expressed similar views and left soon after.

Finally, Perseus was able to breathe. He had been surrounded by powerful divine beings since the morning and could only relax now.

The Imperial Eunuch appeared behind them. He took their wedding gifts before following behind them back to their palace.

As Perseus passed the line of monsters, even a mortal like him could feel the extremely burning flames of jealousy, he felt somewhat pressured by their gazes so he quickened his pace.

Well anyone who can be outside the palace are at least at the Unique Rank, and are capable of fighting a Demigod Centurion.

Being at the Unique Rank and above means that they have already unlocked sentience and acts just like a normal person would.

However, when he arrived outside the palace, he was completely taken aback.

Countless seas of monsters gathered around the palace, their number could not be estimated by numbers, they were so numerous that they looked like grains of sand on the beach.

However, most of them were below the Unique Rank. It seems that even in Tarturus, they still follow the laws of the jungle. After seeing that Perseus was married to the 3 Titanesses, they came to look at their new 'leader' and pay their respects.

Even though they were not as strong as the people in the palace hall, their excessive number made Perseus feel much more depressed the moment he felt their gazes. It felt as if there were thousands of mountains pressing against his back. He would be responsible for their lives if he loses the war. Although those monsters are easily reproduced, Perseus still felt guilty using them as cannon fodder.

After countless war and battles in his past life, he had come to respect soldiers. Especially if they're fighting to protect their own kingdom, Empire or even a small country.

Shaking away the depressing thoughts, Perseus didn't want to linger there any longer. He quickly pulled his wives towards the carriage which was currently waiting in front of the throne hall door.

After marriage, women will usually follow their husbands to their husbands' homes. After this marriage, His wives will naturally follow Perseus back to his home. But since his home was in the mortal realm, and the Titanesses were sealed in Tarturus, they were unable to go. Left with no choice, Perseus could only return back to their palace, since he owns no property in Tarturus.

Secretly swearing to himself, he promised that he would build a grander palace than theirs and have them move in with him.

They quickly entered the carriage, the two Royal Bone Wyverns pulling the carriage flapped their wings as soon as they entered the carriage, preparing to fly.

The Imperial Eunuch did not follow them. He simply put the wedding gift into the carriage which was the sword that the Origin Sword Saint gave before quietly leaving.

When his wives were all inside the carriage, Perseus signalled the driver to start. the two Royal Bone Wyvern immediately began to fly. Before long, they had already flew hundreds of miles and it only took a few more minutes before they arrived back at the Palace of Night, which was where the three Titanesses stayed at.

Perseus felt the carriage begin to move downwards.

He stared at the window, after breaking through hundreds of dark clouds, a view of the provincial capital of the Night Empire immediately appeared.

Usually the streets were already packed full of monsters selling, trading and buying items.

Even so, the city today seemed to be even more crowded, Perseus estimated that were three times as many people on the streets than usual.

They all looked up at the sky, when they saw a carriage pulled by the two Royal Bone Wyverns descending from the sky, they immediately cheered.

Their beloved empresses have finally got married, today was definitely a joyous occasion.

"Surely your people are very satisfied to see you come home with such a handsome man," Perseus said jokingly.

"I don't know if this can be considered an achievement," Tethys giggled.

Before Perseus could respond, she grabbed his hand and then pulled him towards the carriage door before it even landed.

As soon as they came out, the people below instantly froze, all their screams dissipated in an instant and the city fell silent.

Perseus and Tethys did not stop, after stepping into the air, they immediately descended towards the palace, with Nyx and Tethys following behind.

Only after they disappeared within the palace did the inhabitants in the city speak.

"Oh my God, it's the Primordial Goddess of Night, her figure alone is more beautiful than the full moon and the stars in the night sky," said countless youths.

"He's even holding the hands of Tethys, one of the Beginning Titans, I can see that they really love each other."

A young succubus added, "oh, now I don't mind even being his concubine, then, won't I be the Empresses' sister."

"..."

...

Unlike in the city, the palace was really very quiet, there were only a few servants inside.

Of course, they all know how to behave. They kept their distance so that their presence would not disturb Perseus and his three wives.

The four of them quickly arrived at the living room. No one was allowed there, so Nyx, Themis and Tethys removed the cloth covering their faces.

Seeing them in a red wedding dress, Perseus sighed. They were just too beautiful, how was a hormonal teenager like him be able to calmly stand in front of them.

'Ah right... they toyed with me until I was half dead'

They were now his legal wives. After they got married, they promised that he would be able to sleep on the same bed as them, undress them, and even enjoy their bodies. They also promised that they won't milk him dry like last time.

'Hehehe' Perseus thought

'I'll be doing the milking this time' Perseus had an evil grin on his face.

Those things were natural things for any married couple maybe except for the milking part, but the one he married were the most beautiful and powerful goddesses in the whole universe. Of course, he couldn't apply the views of a mortal on them.

Nyx smiled sweetly as she stood in front of him and said, "Come on, I guarantee that we won't break every promise we told you. You can do it now hubby."

"..."

Perseus suddenly felt afraid. He was barely able to keep up with one goddess. Now with three, wouldn't he die?

'But she did call me hubby..... Maybe I should just try my best and pray to Tarturus that they don't .....'

Just then, Perseus heard a knock on the door.

"Sorry, young master." The maid said after opening the door

She looked panicked, but when she saw Perseus and the three empresses, she was stunned.

Perseus couldn't help but knit his brows.

He had always been kind to the people who worked for him, but this time, he this time, felt a little displeased. No matter how good he was, there was no way he wouldn't be bothered when he was about to have sex with his three beautiful wives after his wedding.

Of course, he would still try to be calm, but, he saw that Nyx's eyes had already turned cold.

She may be friendly and gentle to him, but that kind of attitude will not appear from her to other people. Her arrogance is widely known amongst the demons.

Perseus was worried that she would do something bad to the maid, so he stepped forward and asked, "what's wrong?"

He didn't blame the maid because there was no way she'd just walked into the living room without a serious problem.

The maid didn't answer, she looked like she didn't hear his words, it was because she was currently bewitched by Nyx's face. She wasn't wearing her veil after all.

As Tarturus had said; The Primordial Goddess of Night's beauty can even change the tastes of normal women. Perseus fully agreed with this statement. A man with an extremely handsome face such as his seemed to be less enchanting than her in the maid's eyes.

"Hmph," Nyx coldly snorted, she even released her aura a little so that the maid's body was shaken.

She was shocked after realizing what she had done.

"Sorry, sorry," she immediately kneeled on the floor and began apologising.

Nyx's cold gaze made her shiver, not only did she feel fear, she also felt her death looming.

"Quickly answer if your master asks," Nyx said.

"I'm sorry young master," the maid apologized to Perseus.

"What happened?" Perseus asked once again.

"That.... that..., a woman suddenly tried to force her way into the palace," she replied.

"What do you mean?" Perseus became confused.

No one dared to even step foot into the palace if the Empresses didn't decree for it. Yet on the day of their wedding, one person actually dared to.

"Hmmm.. this is interesting," Perseus could feel her aura fluctuating.

"Let's go," she added before pulling Perseus' hand towards the exit of the palace. She seemed to already know what was going on outside.

Her reaction gave Perseus a bad feeling.

They quickly arrived outside the palace, at this time, several guards were guarding the palace doors, but they looked scared because there were two old men standing in front of them.

Perseus didn't know who they were, but from their signs, Perseus guessed that they were at the Legendary Rank. The guards of the Night Palace were the best of the best, and the lowest ranking guard was at the Unique Rank.

But for those guards to be that fearful, those two old men were definitely above the heroic rank.

The two old men were not the main highlight. Behind them, was a young woman who could be said to be very beautiful in a loose purple dress. She seems to be also have divine blood in her, however, the most eye catching thing about her was how her stomach looked bloated, she might be a few months pregnant.

Perseus was seeing the woman for the first time, but the words spoken by her nearly made him fall over in shock.

When he came, the woman immediately ran towards him.

"Percy, Percy... my husband," she gave him a nickname and called it repeatedly and ended her words with a call that made Perseus choke.

'What is she saying?' Perseus wanted to strangle her right there and then.

The woman apparently claimed to be his lover and was pregnant with his child.

He had never expected this to happen. After all, who would dare offend a Primordial Goddess that even Zeus, the King of Olympus is afraid of.

Perseus wondered if they were stupid. Even if the woman is pregnant, how can she claim that it was his child without any proof. In this world, it was very easy to prove who the father of an unborn child was.

Tricks like that were meaningless in that world.

"Who are you?" Persus asked as the woman almost arrived in front of him.

His words made the woman freeze. Tears dripped from her eyes.

"Percy, ​​you've forgotten me? You confessed to me on the first day you arrived in Tarturus. I've always secretly accompanied you, but you're pretending to forget now. Is it because the empresses are threatening you? Percy, ​​please don't forget me, I don't mind just being your concubine as long as you recognize me and our child."

"..."

"Brat, are you disowning your lover," one of the old men suddenly spoke, releasing a wave of killing intent.

The other old man then said to Nyx, Primordial Goddess, this man is a real bastard, he is just a swindler, maybe he has more women out there, you should divorce him before it's too late."

Nyx looked at the two with an evil glint in her eyes.

She asked, "when does my marriage need the concern of the two of you?"

"Primordial Goddess, you misunderstand. We just can't bear to watch our empresses be deceived by this scum." they hurriedly replied.

"Get lost"

"Primordial Goddess, we are trying to help you."

"Are the both of you deaf?"

Nyx's gaze turned cold.

The two old men seemed to have forgotten that Nyx was a cruel and ruthless empress after being in seclusion for so many years.

Hearing her voice, the two old men immediately shivered.

Before they could move, Nyx suddenly took out a knife.

Whoosh...

She threw the knife at the woman.

Before the woman could react, the knife pierced her stomach.

She then took back the knife which was now covered in blood, causing the woman to groan in pain.

There were two kinds of blood on the knife, the woman's blood and the baby's blood in her womb. No one had expected her to be so cruel in her actions.

"Nyx," Perseus called out to her in a soft voice, he knew she was very angry and needed to be calmed down.

The woman was a actually a minor god!

She was bleeding Golden Blood, and the wound on her stomach wasn't able to kill her.

She easily recovered the wound although she looked at Nyx with fear.

"Your Highness, I know I insulted you, but I was only fighting for the rights of my son," she said in a trembling voice.

"You're right," Nyx suddenly gave an unexpected answer.

"The child's blood in your stomach really matches his," she gritted her teeth, trying to control her anger.

Perseus, ​​"..."

"Wait, the child has my blood?"

Perseus was shocked beyond belief. He had never even seen this woman before, much less impregnating her.

"Yes," Nyx replied.

"What?"

How does the blood of that woman's child match his, does that mean it's really his child?

He felt that it was very ridiculous, although he had a lot of knowledge from his two lives, he had never heard of such a strange occurrence. Unless they stole the seeds?

It was also impossible unless it was done by a god. After all, he was guarded 24/7 by the empresses personal guards, and Nyx would definitely notice if there was anyone suspicious around him.

Worse still, it was something he didn't understand at all.

Whoosh...

Suddenly a purple light flashed from Nyx's hand and it enveloped the woman's body.

The moment that happened, the woman's body began to melt.

"Wait," Perseus tried to stop her, but she ignored him.

The woman didn't even have time to scream before completely disappearing, no part of her body and soul remaining.

After confirming the child in the woman's womb was Perseus' child, she suddenly killed her.

The demons who saw the scene all looked at each other with stiff expressions.

Even the two old men were speechless. They had never expected that the Primordial Goddess would kill the woman so easily.

If this incident were to spread, it would definitely affect the reputation of the Night Empire.

And Perseus himself froze because he didn't know how to react.

If it really was his child, wouldn't that mean he witnessed his own child being killed by the woman he just married.

Seeing the outcome, the two old men immediately turned tails and fled, but before they even made it out of the Palace Doors, one was impaled by a pure black sword while the other exploded into a mist of blood.

A/N: the inhabitants of Tarturus will be called demons now

A/N: the child isn't actually Perseus' so y'all can chill.
