Village Head's Debauchery

Orion furrowed his brows in response, "Why didn't you tell me about this before?" Orion asked.

"Well, I wanted to, but for some reason, it slipped my mind later on," Aerialia said as she looked at Orion with a broad smile.

Seeing her broad smile, Orion felt his brows twitching at the thought that if Aerialia hadn't told him about it, he might have gone searching for answers, which could have led to unwelcoming issues like this.

Witnessing the frown on Orion's face, Aerialia's broad smile became even wider, 'Humph! You think that you can play with me that much and get away freely,' she thought.

Neither she nor the Aegis of the Arctic Deity had given Orion such a warning because no god would believe that a mortal possessed the 'Divine Mysteries' in his body. Nonetheless, she didn't know the current situation of this world, so it was much better to play it safe and not reveal anything to anyone.

After all, before she could find a way to her previous appearance, wouldn't that mean she would also be in danger if anything terrible happened to Orion?

Orion soon released a deep sigh.

"Alright, I understand," Orion responded.

"Is there anything else you want me to know?" Orion asked, wondering if Aerialia was hiding anything else from him.

"I can't remember anything for now, but when I do, I promise to let you know about it," Aerialia responded with a smile.

Orion sighed deeply.

"Is there anything else you would like to ask about?" Aerialia inquired.

Orion nodded in response.

"What were the names of the first and second races?" Orion immediately asked.

"The first race was called the 'Celestiarchs,' meanwhile, the second race was called the 'Omnithrallians.' Unfortunately, I cannot show you how they looked in my current state, so you must see for yourself to visualize their appearances. However, since they are already dead, I don't think that will be possible," Aerialia responded.

Orion nodded disappointingly. He was looking forward to seeing how the first and second races looked.

Nonetheless, though he knew it was impossible, he hoped he would at least come across something that would help him visualize the appearances of the first and second races.

"Do you have any other questions?" Aerialia asked.

"Do you think Aegis of the Arctic Deity is lying about the account he told us?" Orion asked.

Aerialia furrowed her brows. Unlike Orion, she had only been in this world for a short period and was still trying to make sense of the immense quantity of information she had been receiving.

Though she doubted Aegis of the Arctic Deity's words a little since he was hiding his identity from her, she couldn't determine which information was accurate and which was false. Unless she received more information from someone else or came in contact with more gods willing to share information, Aerialia couldn't make a definitive judgment.

"I don't think I can determine whether he is lying. But we should be doubtful of his words, especially since he refused to share his true identity with us," Aerialia responded.

Orion nodded in understanding as he had been contemplating the same thoughts.

"Which energy did the winged race use?"

"One-winged race," Aerialia corrected.

Realization dawned upon Orion as he nodded in understanding, "Which kind of energy does the One-winged race use?" Orion asked again, correcting himself.

"The One-winged race utilizes Celestial energy," Aerialia responded.

Orion's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement.

According to Aegis of the Arctic Deity, a fact Aerialia hadn't disagreed with, there were various energies, with Primordial energy, Divine energy, Magical energy, Celestial energy, Dragonic energy, Elemental energy, and Nature energy ranked from strongest to weakest.

Among them, Celestial Energy held the fourth rank, and Orion couldn't be happier. If he could convince Aerialia to teach his wives the techniques associated with Celestial energy, they could potentially become formidable warriors, significantly boosting their strength.

Moreover, Orion himself could learn these techniques, expanding his own skills.

"Since you have apostles, will you teach them to control and utilize Celestial energy?" Orion asked, carefully approaching the topic to avoid arousing suspicion from Aerialia about his intentions.

Aerialia furrowed her brows, a frown suddenly etching across her face. Despite acquiring several apostles directly under her command, they held little significance to her.

Her primary concern was the child growing within the Princess of the Garden's womb. While she harboured no doubt about the Princess of the Garden's true identity, her focus remained on ensuring the child could facilitate the resurgence of her own children.

Only after confirming this, understanding how to sever the bond between her and Orion, and reverting to her previous state would she address the matter of her apostles.

Observing Aerialia's contemplative expression, Orion's own brow furrowed in suspicion.

"Don't tell me you have nothing planned for them?" Orion asked.

Orion hoped that Aerialia would consider teaching Iris and the other Crystalforge clan warriors who had become apostles, as their strength would undoubtedly prove valuable when the Prismerions settled outside the mountains.

Aerialia sighed in response.

"I wasn't the one who made them my apostles, so I don't care about them or what they decide to do with their newfound abilities. They should be glad that as apostles, they can act freely as they wish without worries," Aerialia replied, causing Orion's frown to deepen.

"No, that won't work. You might say that; however, I am very sure that the Crystalforge warriors want to find a way to learn how to utilize their new abilities and would even be willing to follow you if given the chance. Besides, even if our children succeed in bringing about the re-emergence of the One-winged race, don't they need someone to protect and guide them in this world until they become ready to do it themselves?" Orion responded.

Aerialia ignored some parts of Orion's words while contemplating the others momentarily. Apart from the Princess of the Garden and the child in her womb, the Crystalforge Clan warriors might be the only ones related to her.

So, it would be a good idea to participate in the growth of the Crystalforge Clan warriors. This way, when her children rekindle in this world, there would be someone to look after them before they have the strength to do so themselves.
