Chapter 685: Starship

Nesha didn’t bother her mom, knowing what she had just gone through. Instead, she sat there quietly for a moment before getting up and picking Laz off the ground and bring him off to the side of the great hall and setting him on a bench before bringing a blanket out of storage ring and draping it over him. She then went back to her mother and did the same thing, resting the blanket over her shoulders before attending to the various messes that were now present in the former dinning area.

As she was cleaning up, she briefly wondered where the maids were who usually took care of this kind of thing since dinner had long since been dismissed, but figured it was probably better that no one had seen what had happened.

Being a god, it didn’t take long for her to complete her tasks and she had things mostly cleaned up in only a few moments. Just as she finished, she heard a cough from off to the side, only to find the Demon ancestor and Empress Hera looking at her with amusement.

"Ancestor... Your majesty.... I.... uh...."

Both of the older women started laughing at Nesha’s distress before her ancestor walked over and hugged her,

"Congratulations my dear. To see another god realm within our ranks... It truly brings me much joy and pride," the old woman said before using her hands to trace along her new color skin and hair before looking to examine her neck, ears and eyes, as though doing a checkup. Strangely, it was at this moment that Nesha noticed that her old ancestor had the same color skin as she now did, it was just faded and wrinkled with age, making it hard to distinguish without close inspection.

"Amazing. No trace of foundation breakdown or energy lack from the breakthrough. I didn’t think that was possible in this pocket world. Although, I guess a few gods have fallen so that means the energy is there. Still, it would normally take a few decades for that energy to flow freely again, enough for others to use it. And yet... she had a perfect breakthrough.... And your mother too?"

"We did sense two energy wells. It would only make sense..." Hera said, letting her old friend discover things for herself and not explaining anything yet. Turning her head, she noticed that Laz had been set down on a bench to the side which was the reason the old woman hadn’t seen him yet as all of her focus was on the two new gods of her race.

"Great grandma..." Nesha’s mom said, standing after having reached equilibrium within herself.

"Reeva? You have made a breakthrough as well... Already a second circle god... but... how...? And why did you break through later than your daughter? What kind of encounter did you have in the dining room to have had such a breakthrough?" The old woman asked before she tilted her head to the side.

"And why are you walking like that?" She then asked as Reeva had dressed herself from her own storage ring and made he way over to them. Nesha, knowing the answer, couldn’t hold back and had to turn around to hide her laughter.

"Was something I asked amusing young one?" She then asked Nesha who was barly able to hold back while Reeva’s cheeks went bright red.

Hera’s senses went off at this and she strove over to try to relieve the women of their embarrassment.

"Maybe now isn’t the best time to hear the story? There will be time enough for that later, I’m sure," Hera said to her old friend who could only nod.

"Yes. Yes. You’re right.... Even as a god, I’m feeling old..." She said.

"You’re not nearly as old as you’re letting on. You just don’t bother keeping up your appearance anymore since, and I quote, ’Why should I look good for someone other than my lover... the one who’s already dead?’ Sound familiar?" Hera reminded her of a conversation they had many years ago.

"Well? Am I wrong?" The old woman asked.

"Sigh. Pooja.... Perhaps you wouldn’t be so grumpy if you felt a bit better about yourself? It’s not like looking nice is a sin?"

"So says you. Even while being a stunning beauty, your husband was constantly unfaithful. What good would it do me when I’m already this old? You think I could even have a chance with a man again?" Pooja shot back, making Hera laugh more.

"You don’t know unless you try?"

"Try what? Killing a few of them? At my age and level, they’d be dead before they could even get it all the way in. Who are you kidding? Did you forget what I am?"

"Maybe you just need to have the right man?" Hera suggested.

"What? Girl.... That boy? Don’t think I didn’t know he was over there. I mean.. sure. He seems to have strange tastes considering he just fucked this mother and daughter. But as least they are within one thousand years of his age. I’m more than several thousand years older than him. The only thing crazier would be him sleeping with you whose even older than me, even if it’s only by a couple hundred years. And what are the chances of that happening? Huh?" Pooja asked, laughing.

She then looked at Hera’s face get a bit red before she looked away.

"Well... I mean... it’s not impossible."

"No.... No way. Are you kidding? You must be kidding...THAT BOY? WITH YOUR OLD WRINKLY ASS?"

"Hey now... that’s just mean..."

"Oh don’t start. Your youngest daughter is over a hundred so I can only guess it’s been a hundred years since you last got laid by that limp dick husband of yours. But you’re telling me that boy cleared the dust from your vagina and gave it a try? You’re shitting me..."

"And you wonder why I only ever visit you ever couple of years? If I wanted to get this verbally abused, I would have stayed loyal to my husband. Although he is probably dead by now... where the fuck are you going?" Hera asked as Pooja made her way over to Laz who was still resting on the bench. As she was standing up in front of him, she breathed deeply and sighed before muttering a few words. As a gentle light overtook her, her height seemed to change along with the outline of her body. Once the light faded, a mature beauty stood in the place were the old lady once was. She was no longer hunched over with messy hair covering the front of her face. Instead, her purplish red skin seemed to twinkle in the low light as her white hair with purple highlights grew longer and softer, until it cascaded down her back. On top of that, her breasts grew massive, bigger than even Hera herself while her ass became round and full, yet her waist stayed just a slim was it was before.

Both Nesha and Reeva looked like they had seen a ghost while their mouths hung open in surprise. Only Hera remained calmed, knowing that this was what the old woman actually looked like.

"Excuse me dear. You shouldn’t be sleeping here. Perhaps I could take you to your room? Pooja asked, rousing Laz from his rest.

"Oh? Um. Sure... I would like that..." Laz muttered as Pooja brought a hand down and helped him up. Laz was still a bit spent from all the draining he had been involved in along with the havoc the poison had done to his bloodline and stumbled a bit when he was walking. Pooja caught him and somehow moved so that her massive chest caught his head.

"Oh. I’m sorry. I’m feeling a bit sluggish right now," Laz said, apologizing. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Pooja laughed, a high pitched twitter that was like the soft ringing of a bell.

"It’s quite all right dear. Forgive this old woman’s chest for getting in your way," Pooja joked.

"If you’re considered old then I feel bad for every young woman in the world. How would they ever compete with you?" Laz asked after he was able to stand again. Considering how drained he was, he didn’t even notice that Hera, Nesha and Reeva were in the room as Pooja lead him to the door and right out of it without looking back, her laughter at his flirting ringing in their ears.

It was silent as the three looked on as they left, Hera now wearing a stunned expression as well for a moment before sighing and shaking her head. She then couldn’t help but laugh a little.

"Umm... your majesty? What... uh....?" Reeva asked, the laughter having broken her from her shocked state.

"Your great ancestor there used to be called one of the greatest beauties in the omniverse. Men would line up for miles just to get a glimpse of her and miles more to maybe have the chance to be chosen as her lover. It was thanks to her that the Demon clan thrived as much as it did at the time as she brought in millions of men who wanted to give the demon poison a try, even if it meant their death. And if they couldn’t have her, there were many beauties in the clan who were more than willing."

"Oh... wow.... she was that popular?" Reeva asked.

"Oh yeah. She also had another title that rang far and wide in the omniverse."

"What’s that?"

"The Universe’s Deep Discount Starship."

"... I don’t understand?"

"Everyone gets to ride for free...."

"...."
