Chapter 232 No More Monster Attacks?
The hectic environment around the hollowatch suddenly disappeared as the monsters suddenly stopped coming there and the once peaceful nature reappeared around the wall, but none of them was truly happy about this.
Instead, they knew this was the sign of a disaster, after all before a tsunami, there will be always a drastic and sudden withdrawal of water from the shoreline.
"This is bad! Really bad! I have no idea what they are up to," Nikol muttered while walking around the town with the girls looking at the sudden influx of people.
The hollowatch started getting more and more people after Nikol gave the leaders rings and there were some crazy girls that were even willing to travel through the forest and come into the hollowatch with their babies, so they can meet Nikol.
"Why don't we attack master? I know you can beat them," Leona asked as she was glued to Nikol's right side.
Other race representatives from beastkin also followed her and most of them wanted to act like their queen, but they knew it was her privilege as the leader, so instead of normal competition between them for the throne, Nikol's body became a gift for the next queen so unlike last time, all of them were fired to take the throne this time.
"I can beat those minions, but I don't know how much fo Jormungand's consciousness is there in that hollow, and he is definitely more powerful than me, If I didn't trick him last time, I would have already become what he was," Nikol said and looked at demon queen, who was glued to his left side breaking their deep conversation for a minute.
"How are the kids? Are they doing fine? I hope you two won't treat your stepkids any different from our real kids, they are also my children so treat them right, okay?" Nikol said as he was worried about them trying to make their kids more special than others.
It was true he had women that are more special than some of the other girls, but the same cannot be said for children as most of them were exactly the same to him, be they male or female.
"We won't do that," Both the girls said at the same time with their voices showing how shocked they were to hear something like that from him.
"Well! I just said, I didn't mean you do that," Nikol knew they were sad, as their grip on his arm became tight all of a sudden, but then he arrived at the garden, where many kids were crying and mothers were breastfeeding their kids.
Seeing Nikol coming, all of them tried to stand but Nikol asked everyone to sit and proceeded where Tisha, Alva, Lydia, Usha, Emily, Eva and the other girls were supposed to be.
As he arrived his eyes automatically went to the bloated bellies of the girls.
A knowing smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he took in their bloated bellies. The air crackled with anticipation as he approached them.
"Tisha, my love," Nikol said, his voice filled with warmth and adoration. "Look at you, glowing with the promise of our love."
Nobody expected their elven queen, who was supposed to be dead after getting pregnant to be this healthy. After all, most of them remembered about the tales when she was born.
Tisha's mother was on the verge of death when she was about to be born and all of them knew it was because the child was absorbing all the life energy of the body, but right now Tisha looked way more healthy than anyone, as she hugged her lover tightly.
Tisha blushed, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Nikol, our little miracle is growing inside me. I couldn't be happier. I never thought I would be able to be alive after getting pregnant,"
Alva, standing beside Tisha, beamed with delight. "And I am carrying our child too, Nikol. Our family is expanding, and my heart is overflowing with happiness, I'm really glad, I didn't cut your penis when I first met you."
Usha clasped Nikol's hand gently, her voice filled with affection for giving her and her daughter a life. "Nikol, our babies are a testament to the deep bond we share. I'm grateful for this new chapter in our lives."
She knew she would be a grandmother when Alva give birth to this child and she didn't know how she can even think about that after all, their relationships were too complicated.
Emily, with her radiant smile, stepped forward. "Nikol, our love has blossomed into something beautiful. Our child is a symbol of our commitment and the future we will build together."
Eva, her eyes brimming with happiness, added, "Nikol, our little one will be surrounded by so much love and warmth. I'm honoured to be carrying our child, a precious gift."
Lydia wasn't going to stay calm as she wanted more attention too, after all, she had been craving for Nikol's love since her pregnancy days.
Other daughter and mother duo also came and greeted Nikol causing him to softly touch their bellies and tell them that he is grateful for it.
He did the same with Lydia and he knew Lydia is the most motherly looking woman in this group, as she had always acted like one in the past, in most of the circumstances.
Zenda and Nym were also there and both of them were no different from the other girls and dark elves, who were supposed to be dead because of their treachery was also there.
"Oh~ dark elf queen! I'm glad," He said showing he didn't favour any race over the other.
Nikol stood before them, his heart swelling with love and pride. "In a week, our first generation will be complete and every woman who is above age 18 will give birth to their first child,"
None of them expected this to be possible, but all the races that agreed with Nikol got flourished and the races that didn't agree with him went into despair.
There were only a few groups like that who had too prideful natures, but they were already on the verge of dying and Nikol didn't go all out to convince them after all, it's their own choice.
He didn't need those tyrannical girls in his life, so he abandoned them without second thoughts.
"Nikol, how about your experiment you talked about? Did you get any progress?" Usha asked as she knew Nikol captured one of those monsters that turned into a humanoid figure and kept feeding it to see what would happen.
He captured the remaining monsters near the wall and used them as fodders, and the result was even more insane than he expected because the end result was a perfect human just like any other human, but a lot more aggressive and powerful.
If not for Nikol personally having a barrier to prevent it from leaving the cage, it would have been a disaster for hollowatch.
"So they become humans?" Eva asked, as she wondered whether they will be enemies if they are fellow humans.
Most of them didn't like the idea of human evolution from monsters, but Nikol already told them that the humans once used to be animals, so they at least wanted to give these new people chance if they were not hostile.
"They are not humans, they are sexless and don't have human organs inside them, especially the reproductive system and respiratory system, and not capable of communication yet if we teach them, they might learn," Nikol said and his attention went to their abilities.
"They are a lot more powerful than normal people on this land, simply because they don't feel pain even when they push their bodies to the limit." Eva was not happy to hear that because she thought, that she would be able to kick some asses after getting this power but, she was disappointed to hear that.
But she wasn't the type of person to back down because they are more powerful than her, after all, she liked challenges more than anything.
"Calm down Eva, you're not going anywhere these few days," Nikol said while looking at her excited face, as he was already able to read her thoughts.
"I wasn't going to maybe I wasn't," She sighed as she knew Nikol knew her more than anyone at this point.
As a group, they went back to the new house which Nikol built so they can rest, while Nikol took it upon himself to cook the food and he decided to make something special for the girls.
Nikol entered the spacious, well-lit kitchen, the aroma of freshly baked goods wafting through the air. His heart filled with warmth as he thought about his beloved girls, both expecting children.
As he glanced around, his eyes landed on Rebecca, who was diligently working away, her sleeves rolled up and her hair tucked behind her ear and he decided to play a prank on her, after all she had one of the girls Nikol always admired for her hardworking abilities.
