The grand hall was filled with an air of anticipation as Nikol sat upon the majestic throne that was initially built for Tisha, his newly acquired handsomeness and muscular physique captivating the gazes of all the girls present. Their smiles were mixed with a hint of confusion, unable to believe their eyes. Beside Nikol stood Artemis, the epitome of feminine beauty, revered by the girls who had gathered to witness this extraordinary scene.

"Isn't he a little different?" Alva questioned.

"A little? Are you blind? he looks totally different, the only thing I can recognise is his face," And Eva, who is listening to her answered with her mind filled with questions.

All of them wanted to know what happened to him and how Artemis came with him, which was the second biggest shock they got from this event.

"Zenda, what did the elf queen say? What happened to Nikol?" Lydia questioned the elven girl, who was also looking at Nikol with curiosity. But to their disappointment, she also shook her head showing that Tisha didn't want to say anything, she wanted everyone to listen about what happened from Nikol's mouth.

Nikol glanced around, his gaze sweeping over the mesmerized crowd before him. He couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue, contemplating the vast power courting through his veins. As he pondered the possibilities, he caught a glimmer of curiosity in the eyes of the girls, who looked up to him with both reverence and wonder.

The silence was broken by a voice that echoed through the hall, cutting through the air like a symphony. It was none other than Nikol, his voice resonating with newfound confidence. "Girls, I stand before you today, a man transformed. My appearance may have changed, but the power within me now defines who I am and I haven't changed in my personality either,"

The girls exchanged glances, their confusion evident. One of them finally mustered the courage to speak. "Nikol, you've become so incredibly handsome and strong. It's... it's amazing! But we can't help but wonder... what happened to you? how did you change so much?"

The question really aroused curiosity in everyone's mind, but before he could answer, he decided to play a prank on them. He didn't know why, but deep inside his heart, he wanted to see their embarrassed expression.

"I will answer! but why are you girls naked? isn't it embarrassing?" Nikol asked causing all of them to look at each other to notice that their clothes had vanished out of nowhere.

Some of them covered their private parts, while others didn't even bother, but all of them had only one question.

What just happened here?

"Nikol, did you do something?" Alva, who was covering her vagina with her hand questioned with her face blushing, but Nikol just smile at them and got comfortable in his own throne.

Artemis looked at him with a weird look and touched his shoulder only to see his whole body shaking, but soon it stopped and Nikol came back to his real self like he wasn't himself before.

"Ugh~ what just- I'm sorry," He quickly returned their clothes and he held his head in exhaustion.

"Are you tired. Nikol?" Artemis questioned to which he just shook his head denying.

"No, let's carry on,"

None of the girls had any idea what just happened, but they still decided to stick around and find out.

Nikol explained to them everything that happened from the battle they experienced to how he visited heaven and defeated Apollo, also he explained how he broke his seal and the changes he went through this in this small period of time.

"Isn't that really bad? forget about others, if Leviathan come here to attack you, we won't even be able to help you,"

Lydia said with her voice concerned about the future, but Artemis objected to her words because she experienced the power of Nikol in the first place, so she had confidence that he might be able to beat them.

"Nikol, your power is not something that should exist, it might be taboo if anyone possesses the power to control anything, within this time period, we have to find out what caused you to become like this and what are your limits, and also why Leviathan and Phoenix kept attacking you,"

Nikol nodded at her words confirming that he was excited to see what the future had for him and at the same time, he didn't forget what he promised to these girls.

"I will impregnate all of them from all the races within this small time, this time, there won't be any mistake,"

***

Usha was in her room resting after the meeting, since Nikol told her that he wanted to meet her personally and she didn't know why, but she was a bit anxious to meet him after all this time.

"Ugh~ why am I the only one who got pregnant when all the girls did it? I am a little scared," She muttered to herself while caressing her belly.

It had been only a few days since Nikol disappeared so, even after he returned her belly wasn't bloated and it didn't really surprise her because it always took two months for that to happen even when they were depending on the goddess.

"So that's the goddess we worshipped all this time? She's really beautiful, but I don't know how to react in front of her,"

Usha kept thinking about everything that happened until she heard the doorknob of the room turn with a weird sound and the huge figure of Nikol appeared with his body still shining, even though he used a jacket to cover his body.

"Usha! After a long time, we haven't been talking that much lately," He greeted while sitting next to Usha and looking at her with genuine concern for her.

He remembered about the past when he first arrived and how this woman accepted him without abandoning him, and he still felt grateful for her because he would have probably died, if she didn't do that the other day.

"I'm fine, Nikol, I know we have been facing problems non-stop, so I'm rather glad you took time to meet me all alone," She muttered those words and rested her head on his shoulder craving for his warmth and smell.

She wanted a good and long break from all the problems, and to enjoy the company of her loved ones.

The touch of Nikol's hand upon her swelling stomach elicited a wave of warmth and comfort in her motherhood.

Nikol, with his deep violet eyes gazing affectionately at Usha, asked softly, "Usha, how do you feel? Is everything well with you and our little one?"

Usha smiled, her eyes sparkling with joy, and replied, "I feel wonderful, Nikol. Our child is growing strong, and I am eagerly awaiting the day when my belly swells with the proof of our love. Normally, it would take two months, but you said this method will take nine months,"

As Usha's words hung in the air, Nikol's face took on a mischievous glimmer. A twinkle danced in his eyes as he proposed something unexpected, something that piqued Usha's curiosity.

"Usha," Nikol began, his voice laced with excitement, "what if we were to capture this special time in our lives, this enchanting stage of pregnancy, in a truly unique and odd manner? I can do something that will surprise you,"

Usha's eyebrows raised in intrigue, her heart now beating with anticipation. "What do you mean, Nikol? Tell me more."

Nikol quickly decided to explain everything to her and he told what he wanted to do, "A power, a gift, that allows me to speed up time. with this, I can-"

Usha's curiosity was piqued, and she leaned in closer, her heart pounding with anticipation. "Are you saying you can accelerate my pregnancy?"

Nikol nodded, his gaze unwavering. "Indeed. With this newfound power, I can help our child grow and develop within you, so that they can be born in a matter of hours instead of months."

Usha's mind swirled with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The idea of welcoming their child into the world sooner than expected was both enticing and unconventional. She hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, her voice filled with a sense of adventure. "Tell me more, Nikol. How does this power work? Nikol, we can't take any risk, are you confident that this won't end up in a disaster?"

A gentle smile graced Nikol's lips as he took Usha's hand in his. "Do you think I would do something to harm my own children? I'm not like that rotten Fenrir, who uses his own child as a vessel,"

Usha had no idea what he was talking about, but the idea of not having to wait sounded really fantastic to her because who wouldn't like to see their child's face, as soon as possible?

With a determined look in her eyes, Usha nodded. "Let's do it, Nikol. Let's embrace this unique journey and bring our child into the world in a way that no one else has ever experienced. Because sooner they grow, we can create our families again,"

And so, under the gentle caress of twilight, Usha and Nikol embarked on an extraordinary adventure, their hearts entwined as they delved into the unknown. The power within Nikol held the promise of an accelerated pregnancy, an unconventional tale that would forever weave their love into the fabric of their child's destiny.

Nikol asked Usha to lie down on the bed comfortably and he kept his hand on her belly while giving her a light kiss and reassuring her.

"Believe me, I won't mess this up, for you and for everyone," With those words, he started doing what he was supposed to do, but no one knew the result of his actions except for Nikol himself.
