Chapter 346 Gabbrielle Knows All
To say that Audrina and Seras now seemed significantly more powerful was an understatement.
Even Abaddon was feeling a sense of pressure and danger from his wives that made his hairs stand on end.
The two of them gave off very different impressions that were somehow equal in danger.
Seras was like a swirling mass of destruction, and to look at her was to know a million bloody battles.
Her aura was heavy, oppressive, and more than anything else it was horrifying.
Audrina was entirely different in that she felt like absolute nothingness.
Were Abaddon and the family not looking directly at her, it would be easy to think that she was nowhere near here.
To make things more interesting, she now looked just like a dragon.
Her horns had become darker and gave off a dangerous regality, and black scales that were similar to her husband's had started to cover her cheeks and hands.
A slender tail swung casually behind her back, and her long silver hair was now touching the floor.
As their husband, Abaddon was currently being overwhelmed by their beauty that seemed to be more transcendent than the heavens.
Like a pubescent boy who'd discovered his first porn site, he felt a staggering amount of dirty thoughts eat away at his sense of rationality.
Seras and Audrina looked down at their hands and felt the new power coursing through them before their eyes drifted towards each other and wide smiles crossed their faces.
""YOU LOOK SO PRETTYYY!!!"
Always happy for each other, the wives quickly gave each other a giddy and loving hug that would have crushed a normal person.
The two of them jumped up and down and swayed in a circle as they celebrated their monumental achievement, putting a smile on the faces of Abaddon and the others.
Both goddesses were seemingly in their own world, until one of them saw the sky that was filled with dragons out of the corner of their eye.
Audrina felt herself grin sheepishly at the few thousand dragons that her ascension must have alerted.
"Sorry to alarm you everyone. Your seventh emperess and I were just... what the devil is wrong with you all?"
Audrina's face became wrinkled as noticed the dragons in the sky were trembling without an ounce of control over their bodies.
When Seras' eyes landed on their the dragons, the lot of them felt like they were going to be crushed to death by her sheer pressure.
The longer they stared at them, the worse the problem became.
Blood started to trickle from their snouts in alarming amounts, and a few of them we're having difficulty remaining airborne.
Utterly confused, the two goddesses soon received small pats on their bellies and looked down to find their youngest daughter Gabbrielle giving them a nudge.
"Suck your auras in. You're going to kill them or break their minds if you don't stop."
"E-Eh?!"
"I did not do anything!!"
"Auras!" Gabbrielle scolded.
""Okay!""
Suddenly, the pressure in the air became significantly less frightening and the dragons above were able to return to some semblance of normalcy.
They excused themselves from the venue a few seconds later, clearly still afraid of experiencing that horrible feeling of weakness once again.
Meanwhile, Gabbrielle continued to lecture her mothers on the finer points of their new godhood.
"The way the two of you are now is utterly unlike before. You have reached godhood, and your status as the wives of the creator of all dragons has been cemented and legitimized.
Any dragon you meet will become like that in front of you, as you are the only things in this reality or the next that are fit to share father's authority over them."
Seras and Audrina looked behind them at the rest of their family.
Lisa and the other wives were fine, but Mira, Thea, Apophis, and even their in-laws looked like they were having some degree of difficulty being around them.
Though they all shared Abaddon's blood in one way or another, it hardly seemed to matter.
Gabrielle let out an exhausted sigh like a child who was trying to teach their parent to work a cell phone.
"There's much you two need to know about being goddesses... there is still much you need to know about being marked by father in general...Wha-?!"
Gabbrielle looked up to find both of her mothers gone from her side.
She found both of them a few feet away, staring up at her father with big doe eyes and mischievous smiles.
Audrina: "Darling, do we look more appealing to you like this~?"
Seras: "I should like to think that I would fare better in the bedroom now, do you care to test your luck?"
Abaddon felt his heart beginning to thump wildly in his chest as he looked over both his wives with predatory eyes.
Honestly, they had always been more charming than what could have possibly been fair, but now they seemed to literally be the same as he.
Embodiments of desire.
"Can you focus for one moment!" Gabrielle demanded.
The three of them looked back at Gabbrielle like they'd forgotten she was there.
An act that only served to further irritate the ancient princess.
"Come on, both of you!"
"W-What?!"
"Where are we going?!"
Gabrielle started dragging both of her mothers by the hand and eventually pulled them up into the sky.
Abaddon watched the three of them fly away far out of his sight, and he had a feeling like he'd just had a delicious meal taken from him before he could eat it.
"Save your energy for tonight, darling." Lailah suddenly wrapped her arms around Abaddon's waist and tickled his midsection playfully.
"You're not the only one who wants to have fun with them now that they're like this, but we have to let them get a handle on their new abilities first."
Abaddon still looked like a disappointed animal as he placed his hand over his wife's, hoping to have her calm him if only a bit.
"Exactly... how long do you believe that will take?" He asked.
Lailah trembled and bit her lip in anticipation as she felt the burning desire radiating off his body.
Every night they laid together was always an amazing experience, but she could tell by the way that she was behaving now that tonight would be particularly breathtaking.
She almost didn't want to wait either.
"H-Hey, why don't we go and warm up while we wait for them to-"
"Lailah."
Bekka gave her sister a small nudge and pointed up into the sky.
There, Sei could be seen descending on her new leathery dragon wings and looking a bit anxious to say the least.
Her feet finally touched the ground and she began to fiddle with her fingers nervously, looking more like a frightened mouse than a former queen.
"May I... have a moment?" She asked weakly.
Lailah analyzed her mother carefully without saying a word.
Abaddon slipped her hands from around his waist and offered her a small kiss on the cheek.
"We are going to see the house... if you require our prescence, do not hesitate to call us."
"...Mhm...don't start without me."
"We wouldn't dream of it."
Abaddon finally released his first wife and gestured for the rest of his family to follow behind him.
As they flew up into the sky and left her behind, she finally came eye to eye with her mother once again.
Before she knew what was happening, Sei fell onto her knees in front of her daughter, with both eyes filled with tears and a heart drowning with agony.
-
Gabrielle took both of her mothers to the spirit realm beneath Sheol.
In the earth domain, the young girl flipped her hair out of her face as she looked at both her mothers.
"Why did you bring us all the way out here, dear?" Audrina asked.
"You have no idea just what you two are capable of now that you are goddesses. Should either of you have a single accident, everything that mommy Valerie has created will be-"
"She'll be SO elated to hear that you finally called her 'mommy'. I'm so jealous!" Seras giggled.
"Mother, can you please..." Gabrielle very nearly scolded her mother once again when she noticed something strange about the way she was behaving.
Seras was always more upbeat in personality compared to others, especially when battle was involved.
But as of right now, she seemed more like she was radiating pure positivity.
It was infectious, and it even made her daughter want to run up and give her a big hug while the two of them rolled around in a field of soft grass and daisies.
She was too old for things like that!
"Mother... what kind of divinities did you acquire?" She asked suspiciously.
"Ah, what were they? Blood, war, desolation, fire, genocide, and joy."
"Oh, and I got darkness, discord, bats, hiding, transformation and distortion!" Audrina said excitedly. "Aren't your mommies cool?"
Gabrielle felt like she had been given a monster of a task.
Her mothers possessing six divinities each meant that she had that much more to teach them and they had to be much more mindful of their gifts.
Since they did not go to the heavens upon completing their ascension, it fell upon her to provide guidance and teach her mothers everything that she knew.
She had no idea where to even begin.
The meaning behind divinities?
How to not send plagues on accident?
Low tiered omnipresence?
'No, I should probably start with what exactly it means to bear father's mark and what their existence means for other creatures.' She decided.
"Gabrielle, dear?
"Hm?"
Looking up, Gabrielle found her mothers making confused faces and holding an intense golden light in their palms.
"I've felt this strange energy trickling into me since earlier... I'm not quite sure what it is but it feels rather pleasant." Seras said.
"Indeed it does. This is divinity, no?" Audrina guessed.
Gabrielle forced down a sigh as she realized that she was going to have to shift her plans around just a bit.
"Alright, it seems like we've found the focus of our first lesson. I'll teach you about the power of prayer."
