Chapter 1032 A Little Too Late
"And then we ascended," Eris finished.
Most of us weren\'t sure of how to react after hearing Eris\'s story and turned to see the alternate versions of Eris who were still stuck in stasis in the courtyard.
Master didn\'t seem surprised by her story so I assume that Master either already knew about it or He found the story uninteresting. I was sincerely hoping it was the former.
"So… You\'re now the Goddess of Paths?" I asked.
Bait thumped a fist on her chest, "That\'s right! We\'re all the same Goddess now!"
Kiyomi turned to Master who was busy combing Cai Hong\'s hair, "Is that normal, Master?"
"Hmm? Oh. Well, she isn\'t the first goddess to experience such a situation for sure, there are twin gods as well who would share the same domain despite being two different beings. There\'s even a case of an octuplet too. Although I guess for Eris\'s case, it\'s also a little bit more special."
All of us wondered what it was until Master reached forward and groped one of Eris\'s boob.
It was already surprising that Master was doing this in front of Cai Hong, it was more surprising when Bait, Laverna and Denna also moaned aloud with Eris even though they weren\'t being touched.
Master smiled and let go to go back to comb Cai Hong\'s hair like nothing happened, "They are now synchronised into one being. Whatever one feels, the others would feel as well."
Diao Chan licked her lips, "Kinky~ Does that mean that if one was with Master, the other three can…"
Master chuckled, "Yes."
Oh.
I remember Master using such a Technique on us before where our senses are linked together, but to think Eris is experiencing it all the time, I don\'t know if I should pity her?
Bait grinned, "Hell yeah! Now I can prank the other three whenever I want! Feel free to do whatever ya\' want wit\' me, Master!"
Or not…
"So what happens now, Master?" I asked, referring to the still frozen Erises in the courtyard.
Master looked up for a moment as though to consider before looking back at us, "What would I normally do in this case?"
Ah, that\'s right, I almost forgot Master was still in the middle of trying to learn how to go back to his normal self.
Eris raised her hand, "Before this, you all should know that this is another plan made up by that stalke… I mean… Iris."
All of us gave the same reaction of disgust the moment we heard it.
Tsuki crossed her arms and huffed, "Didn\'t Aniue tell her to stop doing anything like that? Looks like she\'s intentionally disobeying Aniue."
Denna shook her head, "They said that she had used a loophole in Master\'s order to continue doing this. Her plans of messing with a parallel Universe\'s Master could be seen as not directly planning against Master, after all."
I scowled, "Isn\'t that just semantics, Master?"
Master thought for a while and surprisingly, He disagreed, "She does have a point actually. I did not specifically tell her not to mess with alternate universes which may or may not lead to changing me."
Brendan sighed, "Master… The usual you wouldn\'t even think about something like this… You\'d have called her out and demanded her to stop already."
Master tilted His head, "Why? She didn\'t do anything wrong, right?"
"Master… You are literally her Master and also Origin itself… Your word is law. This isn\'t even a matter of others blindly believing you if you were to claim something that is black is white… Reality itself will bend to your words to make that thing white if you were to say so…"
All of us nodded at Brendan\'s words.
Honestly, we just really want to see Master put that stalker bitch in her place already. Who does she think she is to come and try and ruin our perfectly happy life with Master?! If she wants the emotionless Master so much, then go to another Universe and stay there then!
Master hummed, "Hmmm… I see… I suppose I should call her then. Iris?"
The bitch appeared out of thin air beside Master the moment those words left His lips, "Yes, Master?"
"Are you messing with the alternate versions of me in the other universes?"
"Ara? I wouldn\'t say I\'m messing with them, Master, I\'m merely correcting them~ It\'s not like there\'s any problem with that, yes?"
I nudged Kiyomi and she understood what I wanted.
She released the stasis effect of the multiple Eris that came from another Universe, all of them falling over at the unexpected shift in weight before they recovered and saw the bitch.
The effect was instantaneous.
Every single one of them immediately clothed themselves and drew their blades to point at the stalker bitch, even though she didn\'t even acknowledge their presence.
Master noticed the reaction though, "Why are they so hostile to you, Iris?"
"Ara? I\'m not sure either, Master. Who are they?"
One of the alternate Eris came forward to point a sword at her, "You damned bitch! Give us back our Master!!"
The stalker bitch didn\'t even show any signs that she heard them and continued looking at Master instead.
It certainly looked like a fight was going to break out but Master raised His hand to stop them, "Could I ask… What did Iris do to all of you?"
One of them quickly came forward, "Master! This bitch came to our Universe and corrupted the alternate versions of you! She made our Masters reject their humanity and abandoned us!"
Master turned to Iris, "Why?"
"Ara? Master forbade me to do anything in regards to changing you back to your past self, so I went ahead to fulfil my own desires on the other versions of you. Master wouldn\'t hold that against me for doing that right?"
Master tilted His head, "I suppose not? Does it matter to us actually?"
Eris spoke up, "Yes, Master! Once enough of the alternate Universe versions of you turn back to your past self, then you would also revert back as well! It\'s like how I have synchronised with my other personalities! You need to stop this before it becomes permanent!"
Perfect, now Master will see how disruptive this bitch is and give her just desserts!
Master looked at her, then back to Iris, it was only then that I realised that Master\'s movements seemed to get slower and slower with each passing second and His eyes seemed to be glazing over.
"I… Don\'t see how that\'s a problem?"
…
Master?
