Chapter 571 Battle Front: Astral Realm Part 9
Blake stood in the air, looking down at the floating island that was steadily picking up speed. "How do we go about this?"
"From what I can see, this thing is rigged to take in as much astral energy as possible from the surrounding area. I can detect a massive amount of it within the middle of the floating island near its base. Getting rid of it would not be a problem if it was not for the barrier. Ea is truly a bastard. He rigged the barrier to be weak so that no matter who used a little bit of force from the outside, it would explode." Ishtar was not happy at all. There were millions of people on this massive floating island. Each one a life that would soon be wiped out due to Ea's heartless action.
Blake fell silent for a while before suddenly thinking of something. "I can break it and then stop time. By doing so, I can teleport the people off the floating island to a safe place. After that, I can erase it from existence. The only issue is that I will be very weak for a while after that."
Blake hated to admit it, but his powers drained him too much. He would enter a period of weakness, which meant he could easily be killed.
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, no one will get through the two of us." Ishtar looked at Sandrea, who also nodded.
"And me!" Erebus's voice came out of nowhere. A black cloud of smoke formed around Blake, and seconds later, Erebus could be seen hugging black and kissing his neck. "After all, if husband dies, how am I supposed to have beautiful babies?"
Ishtar gritted her teeth. She wanted to yell at Erebus, but she was already her sister. And she had to admit that Erebus was right. "As Erebus said, we can not let Husband die."
"Then let's get to it. When time resumes, please be ready to catch me." Blake closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, the world around him stopped.
Nothing moved. Even the birds in the sky were frozen in place. Blake walked over to the barrier, allowing time to continue for it before breaking it and then stopping time again for it. He stepped through the barrier and waved his hand. Millions of magic circles appeared under the people who lived on this floating island, and then seconds later, they disappeared.
Blake felt a little dizzy as he summoned up the last of his power and waved his hand. The entire floating island disappeared in an instant. This went for the surrounding area as well. Only when Blake was sure things were safe did he resume time. His eyes slowly closed as his body began to fall toward the ground.
"Blake!" He only heard Ishtar's surprised cry and the warmth of a body wrapping its arms around him. His consciousness quickly faded as he fell into a deep sleep.
"Is he okay?" Erebus asked with a bit of worry. She had no idea what had just happened. She only saw the island that they were worried about suddenly disappear and Blake's body falling to the ground.
"Time magic is not easy on the body. While Blake's race is one that has delved deep into such magic, his body is still too weak to fully utilize it. Only when he has reached a higher evolution will his body adapt to his own powers. For now, he just needs rest." Ishtar explained.
"Good..." Erebus let out a sigh of relief.
"We will continue our fight. Blake needs to rest, so we will return him to base camp. Joy and Destiny are there and can watch over him." Ishtar had no idea that she was about to send her husband into the hands of two wolves who wished to devour Blake.
An hour later, at the base camp, Destiny and Joy looked at the handsome man on the bed behind them. "Big Sister, this is our chance...."
"Joy, do not even think about it. This is not like when we were young and could sneak a peek at his dick while he was sleeping. Papa is not well. We can not take advantage of him." Destiny replied while giving Joy a sharp look.
"Hmmm? I never peeked at his penis when we were young...." Joy was confused. She was sure she would have remembered something so grand. She wrinkled her brow and looked at her sister suspiciously.
"Ahem!" Destiny realized her mistake and blushed as she said: "Anyway, we will just watch over him. He might be out for a few days, so we will need to wipe his body clean at that time."
"Ah! I see!" Joy quickly forgot what she had just figured out as her eyes lit up. "If we are washing his body, it is not sneaking a peek!"
"We are just doing what good daughters do," Destiny replied with a nod of her head. It would be wrong to sneak a peek. But when it came to having to take care of her Papa, it was a different story since she was making sure he stayed clean.
"You girls sure have some interesting ideas." A voice came from behind the two, which caused the two girls to almost jump out of their skins.
Destiny's head turned like a rusted-out robot as she turned to look at Lillia. "Mama... I ...."
"It's fine. I handed over leadership to Ishtar. She will finish up with Ea and take over his domain. From there, everything should fall into place. Plus, having me here when you bathe him will be more legitimate. This way, you can inspect everything in great detail." Lillia just wanted her daughter and Joy to indulge in their fantasies while they had a chance. She would not let them go too far, but they could play a little bit without needing to worry too much. If Blake woke up in the process, she would take the blame.
Destiny looked at her mother with red cheeks and felt very loved. "Mama, thank you."
Lillia smiled sweetly at her daughter and reached out to rub her head. She then said: "We should do this while we still have a chance."
