Chapter 561 Jake
"I don't eat people!" The female devil yelled out.
"I do not mean to actually eat you per se. I mean... he will do down between your legs and sip on your love nectar." Ishtar could not even believe she had to explain these things.
"You!" The female devil blushed. No one has ever even thought of saying such words to her. She herself had not even touched herself before, and now this man would do such an indecent thing!?
"Oh? To think I would see such a pure devil." Ishtar covered her mouth as she laughed.
The female devil blushed from ear to ear. It was not her fault! Her family never talked about these things! Wanting to change the subject to hide her embarrassment, the female Devil finally said: "My name is Sandrea. Since I will be with you from now on, you can just call me Rea."
"Then Rea, I will do the contract now." Ishtar did not mind calling the devil by her name. She quickly formed the contract that branded Rea's soul with the stated conditions. She did not do anything too excessive. It was basically the same contract that everyone had. It was just that this one was placed on Rea's soul and not her heart. A devil could still live without a heart. It would even rejuvenate. So, there was no point in branding a contract on her heart. But the soul was different. If she broke the contract, her body would be just a shell with no soul. It was basically a living death.
"Please do." Rea nodded. She closed her eyes, lowered all her defenses, and allowed Ishtar to place the contract. It was nothing special, just a wave of the hand for Ishtar.
"Done, you can now follow us, but be warned where we are going next might not be the place you imagined," Ishtar warned.
But this just piqued Rea's curiosity more. "Where are you going?"
"First, we are taking both of these islands to the moon's orbit to protect them. Then we are going to the astral domain to teach the gods there they should not ignore the lower realms' plight, especially when it is their job." Blake answered. His eyes and tone were filled with determination.
Rea's eyes grew wide. She never expected that one day, she would see mortals attacking the gods! She was glad she decided to jump ship and join Blake! She was already going to see something even more interesting than she could have ever expected! "When are you setting out?"
"Right now!" Blake looked at Ishtar, who nodded.
The two of them began channeling mana into the stone in front of them. This was to activate the barrier that would protect both floating islands from the harmful rays of space. Only when it was fully activated did the two floating islands start rising higher into the sky.
While this was happening, at the same moment, Kronkle narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky. "Such a powerful force here in this mortal realm? Did the gods send people down here?" A smile crept up on his lips. He couldn't wait to fight a few gods.
Destiny City broke through the atmosphere and could not be considered in outer space. Lillia, who was in the control room, activated the artificial gravity that used runic markings on the entire island to create gravity that was the same as that on Earth. She was in control of regulating the two floating islands so that they would not separate from one another.
They had created a kind of link that tethered the two islands together using the same gravity magic to make the tether. When connected, the two islands would slowly rotate around in a circle.
Blake left Rea to Ishtar for the time being before teleporting to the control room. "How is it?"
"Everything is green. The way this was built is beyond anything I could ever imagine. The mix of Sister Dana's world's technology and our own really made this thing something ahead of its time. We should arrive in orbit soon." Lillia answered with a smile. She could not get up since she had to continue to monitor everything, but once they reached the orbit they were supposed to settle into, she could finally relax and leave things to the systems. She would only need to check it once a day or when the alarm goes off.
"That's good." Blake smiled as he looked at the young boy next to Lillia. This was his son. During these years, Lillia finally gave birth to a baby boy for him. "Jake, come here."
"No! Mama!" Jake shook his head. He did not seem to like Blake much.
Because of this, Blake was at a loss for what to do. His own son seemed to hate him, while his daughters adored him. "Jake, come to Daddy."
"No!" Jake shook his head and hugged Lillia's waist.
"Hahaha!" Lillia never thought she would see a day when Blake would be hated by his own kid! She found it amusing. It served him right!
Blake sighed and placed his hand on Lillia's head. As soon as he did, his son glared at him. He wondered if this brat thought he was taking his mother away! With a snort, Blake said, "Jake, you wouldn't be alive to see your mama if not for me!"
"Blake! Don't yell at my son!" Lillia smacked Blake's hand away. This caused Blake to be speechless! He decided! He was never having a son again! It was too much of a pain! Daughters were easier to deal with!
"Alright, I am not wanted here so I will go back." Blake sighed and was about to disappear when Lillia grabbed his hand and pulled him to her.
She kissed his lips and pouted slightly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I just.... When Destiny was born, she ignored me, but Jake seems attached to me, so I...."
Blake smiled and gently rubbed her head. "It's fine. Don't worry. I will come to check on you in a bit."
Lillia nodded. She watched as Blake disappeared before turning to Jake and saying: "Be nicer to your father. He loves you very much and wants to spend time with you. If you can't do that, I might end up ignoring you as well."
Jake's eyes went wide. They were filled with panic! He could not let his mother ignore him. Whether he liked it or not, he had to get along with the stinky old man!
