Crixus and Queen Ingath the Thunderer were back in their kingdom after an intense honeymoon in the Paradise Plane. The air was charged with expectations and challenges, especially after the creation of the three copies of King Velbog IV. During the breaks, between sexual exercises, he talked a lot with his new wife, who was everything a perfect model of what one would expect from a fire giant; owner of an engine driven by intense passions. She lives her emotions deeply, experiencing love, anger and joy with an intensity that can be surprising and changes her mood as well. It is probably a bipolar race, I will confirm with the copy of the King. I also noticed that they feel great pride in their heritage and their abilities, and that this is a sensitive point. She is wise and cunning, it was she who came up with the idea of making several copies of the King and using them to create several governments, divided by regions. And she also said that there could only be one king, which of course would be me, the kings would be demoted to the rank of captains, who would govern captaincies. She said that mortal beings should not be treated on the same level as divine and immortal beings. Yes, she has a diplomatic level of ass-kissing. It's hard not to like her. Her intelligence, sharp mind and accustomed to governing gave me several tips that I would adopt immediately, she would be a great advisor just like Akaos had already shown himself to be.

Despite being arrogant, bossy and very proud, her presence is magnetic, like the way she speaks, the way she positions her body, the smallest hand gestures and looks are weapons that she was trained for decades and practiced for centuries, all done to attract others around her. She was a natural leader, who was honed to be the perfect ruler.

Everything is very good, everything is very beautiful, everything is perfect. But... There is always a but, always. Making her fit in with the other wives, especially in the 6th position, would be like drinking a beer that goes down square. She wouldn't take orders from anyone but me. Her pride was the basis of her being, if I broke that she would be a defective queen. And my experience in this was -10, I would have to talk to someone, Akaos or Cōpa.

As soon as I left the last plane for the inner castle of the fortress, trumpets played in fanfare.

"What is it..." At that I saw my Cōpa running towards me. If this was some kind of danger alarm, it was a very strange alarm.

"Master... I hope everything went ideally." He looks at the 4 giants sweating in togas around me.

"Yes, Cōpa, what's that noise?"

"I asked Lord Akaos to place an alarm at the portal exit to warn me and the future inhabitants of the fortress of your return. But if it is not to your liking, I can change or remove it." He bows and says in a contrite tone.

“No, leave it to me. I just found it...unexpected.”

“Your wives are waiting for you with longing, Lord Akaos also asked for some of your time to discuss matters of the expedition.” He stands in front of me with the perfect representation of an English butler, all that was missing was a suit and tie.

Hhhhuuummm...I like the idea.

“My love. The power we share is intense. This reception is not worthy of your power, that has to change. My lord also needs an honor guard, at least 5000 fanatically loyal warriors and they need to be ready to defend him with their lives 10/30.” Ingath uses the link to tell me this with great displeasure.

“5000...it would be a bit complicated, wife, but fanatically loyal warriors, it’s easy. Anyone in mind? Any suggestions?” I ask, trusting that she already has someone or something in mind. “Grishinak and the Golden Soldier. Grishinak, the greatest General of the Fire Giants, demonstrated unparalleled bravery and skill from a young age. His career is marked by heroic deeds, epic battles, and ultimately a defeat that would echo through the generations. Grishinak grew up in the Daam clan. From an early age, he was trained in all weapons and learned to master the principles of fire magic.

During his adolescence, Grishinak distinguished himself by repelling invaders who threatened his ancestral home. He saved his clan from an attack by a clan of fire dragons, using cunning and daring tactics, earning the respect of his peers and the prestige of the other clans. Over time, Grishinak became one of the most respected leaders among the fire giants. His bravery in battle led to his being named general, and he quickly became a legend during the reign of Bingrog VIII.

Under his command, the fire giants defeated numerous enemy forces, including trolls and creatures of darkness. Grishinak was

known for his impeccable strategy and ability to motivate his troops.

The Battle of the Vale began when an old white dragon, known as Nocgale, threatened the lands of the fire giants. The dragon, feared for its animalistic cunning and icy power, launched a devastating attack on the villages of the icy southern borders. King Bingrog VIII then called his best general, Grishinak, who gathered his army and prepared his troops for the confrontation. He knew that this would be the most difficult battle of his life, but his determination was unshakable.

The Dragon used the environment, patience and over months of campaigning, gradually undermined the army's forces, until only the two remained: the dragon and Grishinak, who out of pride and to not tarnish the name of the clan, fought until the end.

The battle between the 6 lasted for days, with the fire giant and the white dragon each using every tactic and trick to defeat the other, it was a cat and mouse game, with each switching roles all the time. At the climax of the battle, when victory seemed uncertain, both exhausted, wounded and filled with uncontrollable rage, Nocgale launched a devastating attack, hitting Grishinak with a blast of ice at close range. The general, wounded and exhausted, fell to the ground, but not before his sword pierced the dragon's skull and both died. The bodies of both remain where they fell to this day, both frozen in an ice tomb. Their defeat became a landmark in the history of the fire giants and their tomb became a place of pilgrimage for the warriors. He became a symbol of courage and sacrifice for the fire giants. His stories were told in songs and legends, inspiring future generations to fight for their land and their people.

"Wife, what an impressive story. From what I gather, you never met this general."

"No, but he was studied until the days of my reign and he became the patron saint of the Warriors. And as you showed me, you have his bones in your treasury. Making copies of him would be the best of all worlds. A legion of the best warrior that ever existed. Husband, you deserve nothing less as a divine being, and I would not accept anything less than that for your own dignity.” He looks at me with his burning gaze.

Intense, always intense... “Hhhaaammm and the other one, this Golden Soldier?” And I ask to deescalate the situation a little, because from the link I can already see that she is wet and is one step away from attacking me. And if there is one thing I have already realized. My wives allow me to have the first night alone with a new wife, but the others have to be shared.

The Golden Soldier, A golem that protects the Forge of Creation, the artifact we are going to get. The Golden Soldier is faithful to his master, but has little regard for any form of life and is driven by a desire for violence and carnage. Its creator, after demonstrating his creation to the royal family, who after witnessing the Golden Soldier's abilities firsthand, decided that no more golems of this type should exist. The golem's creator was assassinated and later had his name erased from the annals of history, so as not to pass on the knowledge. Its creator had the idea of creating a legion, the Army of the Sun, but the royal family saw the time of this and there is only one Golden Soldier. Wise was his decision, the golem proved to be much more intelligent than the common golems and with genocidal tendencies and a habit of calling anyone who is not his master a "bag of shit", especially those who were not giants he calls little shit. The first Kings tried to use him as a special soldier at first, but it was observed that he enjoyed - and often caused - unnecessary death and destruction, showing a complete disregard for collateral damage on more than one occasion. Despite this, the Golden Soldier's programming often senselessly massacred everything that stood in his way to his target. The only things that the Golden Soldier showed respect for were his masters.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

After these disastrous attempts at use, he was relegated to the role of bodyguard. But his arrogance, intelligence, intractable personality, pride, sadism, disrespect and dangerous lethality to the point that he was more than willing, on several occasions, to get rid of anyone who irritated his master, or worse, anything that he thought could irritate his master.

After this, and some diplomatic incidents, he was relegated to guardian of the Forge of Creation. Where he was during my reign.”

“Wife, wouldn’t it be a little irresponsible of me to copy such a dangerous being?” This woman must be crazy, this soldier is like holding a bottle of nitroglycerin during a carnival party.

“Of course not, husband!” She said vehemently. “The Golden Soldier was created with my Lord Husband in mind. An all-powerful being. After you acquire the Golem, the Lord will devour it, destroying a potential enemy and after copying it, any imperfections will be eliminated, because the New Golden Soldier will have perfect programming, proof against errors, because it was made by the divine and perfect Husband.” She said this with the deepest confidence and convincingly. I almost believed her.

“Of course, wife. But let’s start with the warrior, then we’ll move on to the Soldier. The warrior seems more dynamic to me.” DYNAMIC??? What did I mean by that?

“Wise decision, husband.” She smiled as if I had said something incredible.

The King’s Copies follow us as we talk in silence, nervous about being in an unfamiliar environment and being naked. A warrior without his armor and weapon is, for all intents and purposes, naked, at least that’s what they think.

I gather everyone in the courtyard of the fortress castle and teleport to the royal throne room of the Rashakn palace.

In the throne room, my wives, Akaos, the D.K.s, the Dragons, the Vizier along with some nobles, plus the palace guard are gathered. Crixus prepares to introduce Ingath to the other wives. And the plan changes in general.

Let's first disarm the minefield. "What a beautiful sight it is to be received by the most beautiful wives the world has ever seen." The reaction to my words is immediate.

"ROOM! ROOM! ROOM! ROOM!" That's what comes to the minds of my 4 wives in front of me, Xena who is not present, her mind is wandering in a timeline so slow that for her only a blink of an eye has passed since we saw each other.

But I change the subject quickly.

"This is Queen Ingath the Thunderer, my 6th wife." The emphasis on the word “my” gives Ingath the necessary boost of pride, which throws her into the corner and she accepts the fact that she is the 6th wife.

I quickly change the subject to less dangerous things. And without leaving room for discussion, with one of my tentacles, I indicate the kings at my side. “These are the twin brothers Velbog IV King of the North, Velbog V King of the South, Velbog VI King of the East.” Creativity with names is not my strong point.

He and his brothers have an important mission.”

They bow to my wives, and only to them. With a mental command, I tell Akaos to dismiss all non-family members from the room. With three slaps that are like a quarry explosion, he tells everyone to leave. Soon we are alone.

“I have made a change in our plans to ensure the safety of the kingdom and myself.”

“We are ready, Father. What do you need us to do?” everyone says, while my wives speak.

“Count on us, Husband!” They say almost together.

"Being a king comes not only from power, but from the wisdom in delegating that power. Kings Velbog IV, V, VI are experienced rulers and great warriors. And with that experience and the advice of my beloved wife." At that, I indicate to Ingath to take a position alongside the other wives. "We will dominate the entire valley and beyond, the serpent people are already ours, now the second largest force in the region are the fire giants that surround us in the mountains around the valley. Using their experience and capabilities, the kings took control of these disunited tribes and each will take care of a sector."

"Husband, you said north, south and east. Was it just me or is there one missing?" Hethress as he looks appraisingly at the 6th wife.

"Yes, King Velbog VII will arrive tomorrow, along with more reinforcements. While they leave on this expedition, we will search for the Forge of Creation. We'll be leaving in two days, but tomorrow we'll go to Lundine. I want to see how things are going at the orphanage.”

“Husband, we have to celebrate our new wife and the growth of our family in the right way, don't you think so!” The tone she uses makes her intentions clear, and soon everyone agrees that we have to eat.

How can I say no? Impossible.

Looking through the veil that separates mortals from revelations.

A being of unparalleled beauty, who attracts and seduces those who gaze upon her, of both sexes. Every detail of her body is perfect, evoking a sense of desire and fascination. Her skin is smooth and lustrous, often in tones ranging from vibrant purple to gold, exuding an almost ethereal luminosity. Her eyes are mesmerizing, and can be portrayed in elongated colors like and change color. All the colors of the rainbow pass through her eyes, and they convey seduction and power, capable of capturing the attention of those who observe them. Her hair is long and flowing, with colors that can vary from silvery white to deep black, often adorned with jewels, like small stars in the night sky, when her hair is black, or exotic flowers that symbolize beauty and desire, when her hair is silver. Her body is sculpted and graceful, with curves that evoke perfection and sensuality. Every movement is smooth and mesmerizing. Wearing garments that enhance her beauty. The clothes are made of fine, translucent fabrics that flow with her body, symbolizing opulence, eroticism, and luxury. Around her, there is an aura of intense pleasure, attracting mortals to her presence. This aura is often represented by vibrant colors and shapes that evoke festivity and celebration.

Look at a certain room in the mortal world, a room where 6 people celebrate life in the best possible way, almost as if they were performing their cults. The being who recently entered the mortal sphere is doing things that not even the most fanatical of his servants or priests do.

Promising.

She looks like one of his children.

It's been a long time since I last had a champion.

It would be an honor for this intruder to be my chosen champion. Yes, it definitely would be. And best of all, the others would be jealous of her. Why fight her if I can corrupt her and bring her to my side.

But first, a gift. First the candy...then the whip.

It's been so long since I last had this much fun.
