Chapter 350: Welcome!

Mid Morning - Late Summer : The Eastern Oasis

-----

*Fwoom* Easing the speed of my divinity as Grace disappeared, the flow of time almost instantly returned to normal. -So much for getting the support of the Elder Hall first...- *vwoom-tap-tap* Quickly changing the destination of the space rune to Emporio, I gave Hera an unamused look before injecting my mana and letting out a sigh. *Vwoom* "Haah..."

No matter how much I wanted to deny it, I knew exactly what she was planning just by the smug look on her face. -So much for taking the time to plan her return to Bahamut...-

To be blunt, I had the feeling she was going to simply get Myles's support as he woke up rather than the Elder Hall or dragons like Amphitrite. It just made a bit too much sense. With Myles being the first to survive the step into the demigod stage since the war, and with his long-standing trust from dragons around Bahamut, people were going to rally behind him en mass, likely even overpowering the existing system using the Elder Hall and essentially putting him in control of Bahamut.

-Because he's close with our family, it won't threaten our position, but it will definitely cause some turmoil, and maybe even rebellions sparked by those in defiance...- But as if to make the situation even more troublesome, Hera's appearance would flip everything on its head.

I had to ask myself how people would react to her new appearance on its own, and while i thought I had it all figured out, Myles waking up threw a wrench into everything.

Or so I thought.

"Haah..." -This should be the closest point to the Elder Hall...- Generally calculating where we were within the void, I quickly created a gate at the top of the tube within the void, only a kilometer or so above the planets surface, quickly encompassing us and releasing us in reality.

*VWOOP-FWOOSH* But we were instantly hit with a wave of heavy, water-filled mist and a blast of wind.

We were in the heart of a massive storm. *Crrrrrrackle* Electricity instantly started leaping between Krystallo, Hera, Ilios, and I.

"W-Woah! Hehe..." A smile came to Krystallo's face right away as she moved her arm around and watched the electricity arc between her scales.

-Good lord... What a hot storm...- Pushing my aura down to the ground, the view of a huge section of forest as well as several estates came into view. -Looks like we're still quite a bit west of the old Elder Hall...- "We need to cover about a thousand kilometers still, maybe two..." -They need to get on my back...-

*Blub* Quickly creating a ball of liquid antimatter and liquid hydrogen, I split it up and spread it around us before combining the dozens of individual droplets with their opposites. *crackle-BAAAAANG* The light was so blinding for an instant that it could have damaged Krystallo's eyes, but with how immense the heat and shockwave were, my barriers to protect her from them didn't even let singular photons through.

On the inside of the barriers, it simply flicked to darkness for a moment, and a subtle thump sounded. *blackout-thump*

*crackle-FWOOOOOSH* Releasing the barriers and only maintaining the vacuum magic, we were instantly showered with sunlight, just as the vast green forest beneath us was.

"Change to your humanoid forms. We need to get moving." Hera, having anticipated what I was doing, had already transformed by the time I finished speaking, but Krystallo didn't take more than a couple of seconds. -She's gotten faster...- "Alright, hang on."

*crackle-WOOOOM* Accelerating at the limit of what Krystallo could comfortably handle, we zipped over the horizon in a flash, piercing through the wall of clouds from the shockwave of the explosion before ripping through storm clouds like a spear through water.

"Your control really is something..." Looking ahead as I split through the atmosphere far in front of us, Hera mumbled under her breath. "How does your vacuum magic even work?"

Hearing her genuine curiosity, I glanced back for a moment before simply saying. "All I do is run a program in my mind... Essentially I do all the calculations with one complex formula." -Although vacuum magic's is quite simple...-

"Kalfas."

"Hm..." She pondered as she looked over his rugged body, now nearly 135 meters tall, and with a slightly less bulky body than he previously had, now being closer to a more balanced form. "The name doesn't ring a bell, but it's similar to one of Atlas's underlings that was a mythril dragon."

-With how close Myles is with pur family, that's probably the case.-

"Do you know if there are any other mythril dragons?" Gently scraping one of her claws across his scales, a scratch instantly appeared.

"I know he had a brother that formed a family, but I'm not sure how they're doing."

She paused for a moment before looking up towards Myles face. "I see... Maybe he'll be more open to concubines than his ancestors were."

"PFFT-" I almost instantly burst out laughing. "Where did that come from?"

But rather than getting some whitty response, I ended up getting an earful about how good strong mythril dragons are, and just how much they can strengthen Bahamut.

But it helped pass the time while we waited for Myles condition to normalize until, eventually, people in the city around us started to gather around for the historic moment.

We as a group were still cloaked then, so none of those coming around to see if Myles was going to wake up could see anything, but as Myles eventually sluggishly opened his eyes and the crowd watched with baited breaths, his gaze was met by Hera, donning her full-sized form, almost three times the size of him.

All she did was look into his eyes, smile, and speak calmly. "Myles Kalfas. Welcome to the afterlife!"

"PFT-HAHAHA!" I burst out into laughter before I could even think.
