Chapter 512 The Last Fight (Part 1)
After closing his eyes, the scenery changed for Aster, from the comfortable bed in which he was laying down with Aria in his embrace to the eternal starry sky of the mind space.
The first thing Aster noticed was naturally the pair of beauties who were "frolicking" on a certain part of the infinite land of the mind space.
It would have been one of the most beautiful portraits in the history of creation, if it wasn't for the fact that they weren't exactly harmonizing but clashing.
"This garden is for the materials that will be used for my new body, so I can organize it as I want", said Rya, she snapped her fingers and then a golden tone covered the land.
"Heh, are you claiming it yours because you "marked" the Black Water Yin Flower~", as always Lilia's playful voice was a pleasure to the ears, well in Aster's case, because Rya felt the urge to choke the lewd woman for her shameless words.
"Y-You, how did you know that!", exclaimed Rya, her face was red as an apple.
The Black Water Yin Flower is the spirit herb that Eris helped Aster obtain from that cave back at Prasil, back then it was just a sprout but now it has wonderfully bloomed.
That was one of the hardest things to get from Rya's list, not because of its quality since the sprout was born as a low Stellar grade treasure, the problem were the many restrictions it had.
If not found by someone and then taken out of the ground where it was born, to be watered with yin within 72 hours of its appearance, it will wither away and since it can only appear once per every suitable planet for their bloom, and it will never repeat, then who knows which planets had given birth to one and which haven't.
Aster arrived in the perfect time and he didn't miss it thanks to Eris, naturally they needed to water it and with whatever they chose to do so, had to contain the yin of the woman to whom the flower was destined, in this case Rya.
Vital components of men contained yang, while for women the same applied but with yin instead, blood, bone marrow and of course sperm were the things in which one can find yang for mer.
For women they actually have an extra option, blood, bone marrow, maternal milk and love juices, just like not all the aspects of yang were beneficial, not all the aspects of yin were detrimental, maternal milk was one of the few things based in yin that actually nurtured life, instead of corroding it.
Unfortunately, Rya doesn't have a physical body so the only thing with yin which she could produce were love juices, you can imagine the rest, in one of the many lovemaking sessions she had with Aster, he helped her "water" the flower, at the same time she made Aster swear that he won't tell it to anyone else, since it was so embarrassing.
He didn't break his promise, despite the fact that he wanted to tease Rya with that, but now that Lilia had started to come quite often to the mind space, and since Aster has made love to both of them at the same time, she learned to recognized Rya's scent.
And the Black Water Yin Flower had it, so she figured it out, they were fighting because the two wanted to change the landscape of the garden to fit their likings, it was a childish discussion and naturally there weren't hard feelings of course.
"Hyaaa~".
"Nhhhh~",
Two though different equally cute sounds echoed through the mind space when Aster suddenly appeared behind those two, and firmly squeezed their asses.
Naturally with the level of his mother and Rya they could have prevented him from doing so, but not only they didn't even think on doing something like that, the two of them leaned their bodies backwards falling into Aster's arms.
"You promised to not tell anyone about that, she is bullying me", cutely complained Rya, making Aster laugh and then gently kiss her.
"No fair, she is claiming the whole garden just because she peed on the flower, you must seek justice for me darling~", once Aster stopped kissing Rya, Lilia turned to see her son and her pretty long eyelashes fluttered as she gazed at Aster with a charming expression on her beautiful face.
Aster nearly melted under the eyes of his mother, but he cleared his throat and then sealed Lilia's lips with his.
"Shouldn't you two put the example to the others, be good and share, okay", he said as he caressed their thin waists.
The two girls immediately forgot about what they were arguing for, the moment Aster mentioned they should act as an example for the other girls, Aster saw them giggling while they snuggled on his chest.
'It's going to be quite lively once Rya is out of the mind space, or when all the others become able to enter, whatever happens first', thought Aster.
With the two most beautiful women he has ever seen still in his arms, Aster walked towards the center of the designated area for the garden where the Bone Orchid was placed.
"So how is it, is the Orchid able to keep maturing inside the mind space?", asked Aster.
Only two of the materials so far still needed to be nurtured, the Black Water Yin Flower and the Diamond Bone Orchid, which were two of the three main materials, out of them, the Yin Flower didn't need anything but to be regularly "watered" by Rya's yin.
But the Orchid needed to absorb both yang and spirit energy and it had to be from the ground, so Lilia kindly donated some of the yang radiated soil that was created thanks to the yang chain link where the immature Orchid appeared, and now it was just necessary to see if the spirit herb could mature inside the mind space or not.
Aster saw the Orchid shine as it kept absorbing spirit energy from the atmosphere and yang from the soil and he nodded, he was worried that the stupid heavenly law will try to get in his way, "space rings can't contain living beings" is a common rule known by every cultivator.
There are some flaws or it would be more accurate to call them leniency in that aspect, for example seeds of spirit herbs were okay, they could be transported in a ring and then planted to grow later on, but if one tried to keep a spirit herb which had already bloomed into the ring, it won't wither, but after that it won't mature anymore.
In other words, after being stored in a spatial ring a spirit herb won't be able to continue growing, why, nobody knew but that was a golden rule of the cultivation world, a rule which Aster now broke.
"Honestly even I didn't know if it was going to work, in any case this Orchid is good enough for me in its current state, but I guess I should have expected it from you", said Rya while she rested her head on Aster's chest.
Aster gently caressed the silky silver hair of his cute Empress, while he enjoyed her sweet feminine scent.
"Only the best for my cute Empress, I have all this free land in the mind space so it would be ridiculous to not use it, this is just the beginning, with your help we'll make this place upgrade", he said.
While Rya happily smiled with a blushed expression on her face, Lilia pouted, she had "Spoil me too" written all over her face.
Aster chuckled, he entered the mind space to recover from having used his Sky Rendering faster, but now he will be doing some "exercise", not like he cared, though they were arguing over some random stuff earlier, the truth is that they have been training their control over the mind space together, due to his petition, so they deserved to be rewarded.
…
Thanks to the difference in the time flow of the mind space, cute moans and giggles could be heard echoing through the mind space for a couple of hours, and Aster even had the time to fully rest.
Seeing the two naked soft bodies laying next to him on the bed which was at the top of Hyperion, Aster couldn't help but smile.
"Mmn~", he grabbed their plump asses and played with them making them both let out soft moaning sounds, Aster's white stuff could be seen coming out of their pretty flowers, Rya looked really tired, while Lilia was smiling from ear to ear, they had a lot of fun thanks to an accidental discovery her beloved son made earlier.
Aster was the same, feeling the supple bounciness of those deliciously plump asses of theirs, he cursed the yin spirit beasts for having disturbed the space, without that, he would have had already gotten the Glacial Liger and then he will be free to give more love to these two beauties.
Lilia specially wasn't full yet, but when she was about to use her dragon form to take things to the next level, Aster kissed her and told her to leave it for later, it's not like he didn't want to continue but he could feel the tree and Alexandra returning to the room, so the time to play was over for now.
"I'll return later so you don't need to put on any clothes", jokingly said Aster as he got up from the bed, Lilia and Rya just limited to giggle while they both saw him leaving.
Aster's eyes opened outside of the mind space, Aria was comfortably sleeping in his embrace, it has been around two hours since he entered the mind space, the girls naturally took the chance to rest and recover.
Even Eris had finished doing what she needed to do, so she was enjoying a well-earned rest on her bed.
Aster heard someone knocking the door and he snapped his fingers to open it with his soul energy, then the Runic Oak as well as Alexandra who seemed to be in a fairly good mood for a change, entered the room.
"So, what did you find?", asked Aster, he didn't ask about Renard because he was sure the idiot was dead.
Surprisingly it was Alexandra the one who gave the inform, probably because she didn't want the tree to start saying weird stuff, she was bombarded with questions regarding why she wasn't the mate of such an outstanding male as Aster, and how human females chose their partner and so on for half an hour, while she was interrogating Renard, she now preferred to hear anyone's voice but the tree's.
"I discovered two important things, first, the elder from the Castle Armored sect is actually related to their patriarch, a distant relative but still a relative from the main branch, second, the elder from the March Domain is technically weaker but at the same time he is more dangerous, his poison has killed Law Integration beings before".
"Also… and this is just a speculation, but the Liger seems to be being controlled by someone right now, the beasts think that somehow, to whoever the main yin chain is linked, has managed to sent instructions which the Liger can't disobey".
"Apparently the last two Law Integration beasts are now ignoring the third node and instead have gone into the restrained underground area and are trying to get to the cage first to destroy the it and then absorb the Liger before it escapes by itself, but they left the beast army behind to watch over the node", said Alexandra.
Aster contemplated things for a moment before he turned to see Eris.
"Is everything ready?".
"Mm, I finished earlier, we just need to get the last yang chain link and it will work out without any problem".
Aster couldn't help but smile while he caressed Aria's pretty face, the ice princess had woken up the moment Aster left the mind space, her pretty platinum blue eyes had a comfortable light on them when she happily accepted Aster's caresses.
"It will be my cute Aria's time to shine later", he whispered at Aria, before he turned to see the tree.
"How is the dimensional tunnel, can we leave already?".
The Runic Oak nodded in response.
"Yes, I found the origin of the disturbance and already fixed it, the portal will appear in five minutes, so it's time to go".
Aster jumped out of the bed and the girls immediately followed.
"Let's go ladies".
"Mm", the girls nodded and then the Oak guided them out of the castle, thanks to Eris doing her magic the node in other words the yang chain link could now leave the castle without any problem, so they could take it with them without any worry.
Outside of the castle, Aster saw the roots of the Oak which had entangled with each other to form circle, it was as if it was encasing a portal.
The space made some cracking noises and then the portal opened, the Oak just finished the last preparations, then without a second of hesitation Aster followed by the others jumped into the portal.
