As Melissa heard the question from Nix, she chuckled and said, "seems like it'll be more fun that way."
"Hey!" Alex interrupted the two.
With Nix's answer, it was finally confirmed that she was his wife but then their discussion made Alex chime in and interrupt them as it wasn't any good.
Nix smiled at her husband's response and went in to hug him.
She rested her face on his chest and said, "I missed you so much, dear..."
Alex was surprised with her sudden move and his mind was starting to shut down due to the sheer change in events.
Apparently Nix wasn't a stranger but his wife.
Despite knowing this, despite being told repeatedly that he had more than one wife, his mortal brain was refusing to accept this reality and making him really puzzled.
There was a mental barrier within his mind that refused to accept the fact that he had a harem.
On Earth, it was a one partner for a lifetime type relationship. Harem was something a major taboo everywhere.
These thoughts and teachings that were ingrained in him were something that were now coming up.
Even after knowing everything, Alex was having a really hard time and his thoughts drifted to thinking uncomfortable things such as:
'What if my father had more than one wife? How will I react then?'
'What will happen to Nix's parents when they realize their daughter is getting together with a married man?'
'What will society—'
'Wait a second...'
Even though Alex was having an internal struggle, his body had reacted to Nix's touch and had made him wrap his arms around her.
Melissa, despite feeling her husband's concern, could only smile and stare at him.
This struggle that he was having was something that he needed to go through himself. She couldn't help him even if she wanted to.
Breaking this mental barrier was crucial for his growth and to help him get answers to the vast number of questions he had.
She was here in the mortal world, Nix was here, Alex was here, and many of her sisters were planning to join as well, it was due to this.
They were all reincarnated as humans currently just to go through thousands of moral dilemmas such as this one.
Multiple partners were frowned upon, mortals believed God hated it, it was a sin, and one should always be with one person.
To some extent, yes, it was true that Gods frowned upon this.
However, the reason for this was not because of a person having multiple partners, but the issue being completely different than that.
A person could have multiple partners, it was not a problem.
What the main thing was that everyone in that relationship should be consenting to it and happy.
There shouldn't be unhappy people in that relationship and there should also not come a time where the offsprings are unhappy with this.
The next reason was the case of inbreeding.I think you should take a look at
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Incestuous relationships were bound to become common when one had multiple partners and this would wreak havoc to the human life which evolved by the means of variations.
Genes would not be diverse and people would not become immune to many things, eventually dying to either genetic disorders or becoming weak enough to die from a common cold itself.
To protect itself, mankind had unknowingly made such a rule to not have multiple partners through years of evolution.
The next reason for not having multiple partners was that one person could never satisfy the needs of all the other partners.
Old age arrives for all in the mortal world and this would lead to chaos in the harem.
Adultery would become common, sins would thus arise and mortals with weak minds would lose themselves to lust and become monsters who only know to fuck each other.
Society would eventually collapse and hence, polygamy was forbidden.
After years and years of evolution, such rules were set upon the entirety of mankind by mankind as well as God themselves.
Gods instilled some fear within mankind to help themselves defend against their own vile natures.
In the modern day where there were billions of devotees and faith was so widespread, Angels and Demons...
They lay nowhere else but within the mortals themselves.
The human was such a delicate being that his mind would break even with the slightest push to either side.
This mortal being that was created by the Creator was someone who walked at the edge of a knife throughout its life.
The Creator not only gave him wings to soar as high as he wanted, she also made them intelligent emotionally so that they better understood each other and took care of each other.
Human was the most perfectly imperfect being God ever created.
The dilemmas that occurred were due to the clashes in teachings and ideologies of years of mankind's evolutionary intellect that were put up against the rules set by the Gods.
Such deep thoughts were something that were appearing within Alex's mind and making his head spin.
He felt a splitting headache after a while and immediately stopped all the thoughts going on in his mind.
Alex took a deep breath and coming back to reality, he saw Melissa looking at him and smiling while Nix was in his embrace, hugging him.
Alex looked down at Nix and rubbing her back, said, "Nix, I am so sorry if I may have pushed things too far and if you felt uncomfortable."
"Darling, you don't need to say this." Nix said with a smile, unbothered by everything.
Alex sighed and replied, "honey, can you give me a while to digest the fact that I have more than one wife?"
Nix broke the hug and looked at him.
She then turned to her older sister who just did a gentle nod.
Nix sighed and said, "Okay. But please don't make me wait for too long."
'Deja vu!' Alex and Melissa both thought to themselves as they remembered the time Melissa had said something similar.
Alex nodded and agreed with it.
He then went out of the room to get some water and when he was gone, Melissa turned to Nix and said with a big smile,
"Humans, the sentient beings I created, aren't they really fascinating?"
