Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1106: The Art Of Taking Chances



"Does that mean you'll be able to cast techniques using Vylkr energy solely through your control and with the sceptre's assistance?" Orion asked, his expression stern.

Upon hearing Orion's question, Aerialia's ears perked up, and her eyes fixed on Aurora. The Vylkr energy made the villagers' gifts so powerful, allowing them to grow stronger after reaching a certain threshold.

However, due to its fierce and uncontrollable nature, they could still not use it to cast techniques. The gods' chosens were slightly similar; while they couldn't store Vylkr energy, they used it to temper their bodies, making them stronger containers for its accumulation. Without the help of vials, they were just powerful bodybuilders.

Thanks to Paradise's aid and the technique they had been given, which allowed them to accumulate Celestial energy in both quality and quantity up to the level of any other energy within them, they were formidable in their own right, even without Vylkr energy. If Aurora could cast techniques and arts solely utilising the Vylkr energy, it would be a game-changer.

Aurora pondered Orion's question for a moment before shaking her head. "I'm not sure. I haven't tried it yet."

"Then how about I teach you a technique? I would have liked to teach you how to grasp one of the laws of the cosmos and turn it into your domain, but I'll save that for later. Still, I doubt your comprehension is any less than that of the villagers now, especially with your status as a goddess. It should surpass theirs," Aerialia said, her face filled with anticipation.

Orion coughed slightly, clearing his throat. "Aurora has been through a lot and needs to rest before training. Can't we leave that for another time?" he suggested.

"Even though only a few days have passed outside, it's been nine days in here. But you're right. It's her first time experiencing something like this, so she needs all the rest she can get and time to adjust to her new form before we begin training," Aerialia agreed, a thoughtful expression emerging on her face.

"I promise to train hard in the future, Mother," Aurora said.

Aerialia nodded in approval.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"How is the situation with the Runaway Cities?" Aurora asked, refocusing on Orion.

She felt responsible for the terrible phenomenon that had attracted the attention of the Vylkr spawns and the unknown woman who had caused chaos by taking control of one of the Sleeping Fox Runaway Cities. She wanted to understand the current situation and see if she could help.

"They're already on their way and will arrive in a few hours," Orion replied, providing a detailed explanation of the current situation with the Runaway Cities, particularly the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, and the danger it posed if they didn't handle it soon-or hope that nothing serious transpired until Ilse awoke.

"So, you have to destroy the Sleeping Fox Runaway City?" Aurora asked, her tone serious and thoughtful.

Orion nodded. "Yes, unfortunately, Ilse is currently asleep, so we have to-" He paused, noticing Aurora's look.

"How about I help? Destroying the Sleeping Fox Runaway City wouldn't be too difficult with my current capabilities," Aurora offered when she saw Orion stop speaking.

Contrary to her expectations, two sharp voices cut through the air in unison: "NO!" Orion and Aerialia looked at each other and nodded in agreement, their expressions solemn.

"As I said before, you need to rest before doing anything else," Orion said firmly.

"Yes, listen to your husband and your mother. You might be exceedingly stronger than most beings right now. Still, until you begin mastering the laws and establishing your domain, your abilities will be below that of a god who has already established theirs, though still above that of a first-order demigod. That's already impressive for your first ascension," Aerialia chimed in.

"Ilse is different. She has already begun grasping the laws of space and time, among others that I'm certain she's keeping hidden from us. Coupled with her knowledge and physique, even a god who has mastered two per cent of the law of the cosmos would struggle against her. And if she manages to trap them within the Primordial Barrier, she could immobilise them directly. Most importantly, the enemy we're facing is someone who managed to escape Ilse while she was severely injured."

They understood what Aurora was trying to convey and acknowledged that she did indeed have the strength to accomplish such a feat. With the help of the sceptre, they were confident the task would be easier, but they weren't willing to let her face such an opponent alone.

Hearing the words from her husband and mother, Aurora bit her lip. "But I think I can do it. Who knows what will happen before Ilse awakens or how much strength the enemy could recover by then? All we need to do is destroy the Sleeping Fox Runaway City to render her defenceless, right?"

A frown appeared on both Orion's and Aerialia's faces. Seeing Aurora so determined, they had no choice but to reconsider.

"Fine," Orion said reluctantly, "but first, we have to wait until the Runaway Cities return and ensure they are properly hidden so that she doesn't approach another city if she manages to escape again. Do you have a way to arrange that?" His expression was solemn.

Aurora pondered for a moment before responding, "You mentioned sending Ilse to deliver a message to the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City, and the enemy approached that Runaway City first because it was the slowest among the Runaway Cities, trying to get as far away from Paradise as possible."

"But she immediately left for the Sleeping Fox Runaway City. Doesn't that mean she sensed Ilse's lingering aura and assumed she was hiding within it? That's why she escaped to the closest option-the Sleeping Fox Runaway City." Aurora was confident Ilse hadn't entirely erased her presence, given the situation's urgency, which had led to this outcome.

"So, I need to mark the Trekking Flamingo and Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway Cities with my aura and fool the enemy into making the same decision. We'll then have the chance to chase her down until we capture her. If we can't capture her, we can be certain that if she's smart, she'll flee as far from this territory as possible," Aurora concluded. Her plan was elaborate, utilising all the information at hand.

She had been managing the entire Garden and advising the Prismerion leaders during her free time, so she was no stranger to handling such matters, especially when it concerned countless

lives.

Orion mulled over her words.

Aerialia wore a solemn but thoughtful expression.

They both found Aurora's plan reasonable.

They exchanged tired looks, sighing and shaking their heads.

Aurora's expression was peculiar as she observed the silent exchange between her mother and

husband. Her inner thoughts, however, remained her own.

"Alright, I don't see any harm in trying it. I'm also curious to witness your capabilities,"

Orion said, nodding in agreement.

Aurora then shifted her focus towards Aerialia.

"Fine, you can do as you wish. But if anything goes wrong, return to Paradise as soon as you

can," Aerialia said, her expression serious, arms folded.

Aurora nodded firmly.

"Let's wait here until the Runaway Cities return. In the meantime, you can show me your

abilities," Orion added.

Aurora's eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded in understanding.

.......

After spending two hours inside the Golden Palace, which was forty minutes, Orion returned

to his manor to spend time with the rest of his family. Aurora wanted to prepare to take care

of the issues at hand before she could follow him home.

Orion returned after a day.

Orion gently placed Liora into the cradle before turning to Aurora and saying, "Let's go." He nodded at Aerialia before walking to the door and opening it. A bright light shone from the

entrance.

Aurora kissed Liora on the forehead, eliciting joyful laughter from the baby. She nodded at Aerialia before exiting the bedroom. The door closed softly behind them.

Watching the scene, a mix of complex emotions flickered in Aerialia's eyes. She shook her head to calm herself. The worst-case scenario was that she'd become a babysitter, and they

would be back soon.

....

As Orion and Aurora emerged on the other side of the Golden Palace, they soared into the sky. Once they passed through the Primordial barrier, they surveyed the landscape below. Immediately spotting the Trekking Flamingo and Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway Cities, they descended toward them.

As they approached, Seth, Zogar, and Iris came out to meet them. Their expressions filled with surprise as they saw Aurora and sensed the unique aura surrounding her.

Iris's eyes widened as if sensing something, and she swiftly bowed her head toward Aurora.

"Congratulations on your ascension, Goddess Aurora. Paradise is blessed to have you in its ranks," Iris said, her tone respectful.

Zogar and Seth's eyes widened in astonishment. They quickly followed suit, bowing deeply and saying in unison, "Congratulations on your ascension, Goddess Aurora."

They realised that the phenomenon wasn't solely due to Aurora's delivery but also because of

her ascension.
