Dark Realm... Hunting...

"Ah~, okay, okay. I know you're hungry. Just wait until mommy is finished, mm?" A voice sounded outside the central command as Heian Ciemnosc and the Yuns waited for the Chairwoman. Alyona walked in from the left of the entrance, carrying a tiny baby with a contraption tied to her shoulders and back. Heian Ciemnosc formed a grin when he saw her and walked towards her as Alyona looked around the module to find the new guests.

When she saw the Yuns, her eyes glowed, but Heian Ciemnosc walked to her and took her attention away from them as he grabbed Anastasia, and the dumb little thing lifted her arms and squealed. “Yiyyaaaaaaa! Yiyiyaaa~!!”

“Oh, someone’s content to see me,” Heian Ciemnosc muttered, hugging Anastasia from behind as she looked back at him with the stupidest of smiles. She still had no teeth, so her gum looked especially sweet as she narrowed her eyes and flung her tiny arms to touch his pale face. Just then, Alyona’s words made his chest ‘ba-thump’ louder than ever. “Some, indeed.”

“...” - “...” Heian Ciemnosc and Alyona looked at each other. Their eyes passionately forgot the entire world’s existence, especially everything around them. Anastasia seemed to sense it and kept quiet while sheepishly staring between them.

Yun Nitu: “!!”

The Yuns looked at this and were flabbergasted. No explicit words were given, but Yun Nitu’s brain clicked when she saw the look they gave to each other. Besides, the daughter Heian Ciemnosc spoke of was held by the Chairwoman, a growing legendary figure among the rest of the organizations, and she called herself the baby’s mommy?! This was too much to process! So much gossip! No wonder the Faction’s personnel was so silent outside Heian Ciemnosc’s people!

“Tang!” Yun Nitu looked at her man, and Yun Tang grunted while shaking his head. But those knowing bros language would understand this could be interpreted as a nod. Sigh, such was life.

“Miss Yun Nitu and Mr. Yun Tang, welcome to my Crimsonbreaking Faction’s Carrier,” Alyona suddenly spoke, drawing their attention towards them. Heian Ciemnosc walked behind Alyona, holding Anastasia, who spread her arms and hugged Heian Ciemnosc’s chest while seemingly asleep. So tender…

Alyona walked to them and stood a meter before them. She looked at the Yuns and nodded before starting, “My Faction is on its road to forming alliances with your Sect and the Golden Terra Sect. I’m aware of your visit here. If it’s not against your well-being, you can start today and teach Little Anastasia.”

“Ah! Miss, it’s an honor!” Yun Nitu bowed, abruptly waking up and word-for-word fangirling to her heart’s content. The blush on her face and the little grin she could barely hide by bowing exposed it. Alyona slightly nodded in response.

“About that… I’d need a Craftsmaking alchemy room for 2 days, and then we can start the lessons. Genoa’s Descent Supreme Art will be taught to your daughter and another person of Heian Ciemnosc’s choosing. But I’ll need some things to teach the little, sweet thing. Can I borrow a room?”

Alyona waved her hand. An Officer walked to them and gestured to walk outside the central command. Alyona spoke with a calm, somewhat indifferent tone. Which Yun Nitu loved. “Will do. My people will guide you somewhere. Feel free to use anything you need. I’ll be counting on you.”

“Ah! One thing before that,” Yun Nitu exclaimed again, full of excitement and thrill to meet such a magnificent living being worldwide. She took some things from her Covert Space bags and presented them to the Chairwoman, “These are supplements for Anastasia. I brought them after knowing… Little Anastasia’s background. These will help her grow without losing her previous nature’s properties and advantages.”

“...!” Alyona gazed at the items in Yun Nitu’s hands and raised her eyebrows after scanning them. They were of top-notch quality, as expected from organizations like the Phosphorescent Flower and Golden Terra Sects. Alyona took them, grazing her fingertips on Yun Nitu’s skin, and softly said, “Thank you. 2 days, was it? I’ll wait to see what wonders you can prepare our daughter.”

Yun Nitu was already feeling better than Godly cultivators when the Chairwoman didn’t show dislike when she addressed Anastasia the same way she did. But when she heard her idol’s thankful words, she nearly melted her core then and there. If she hadn’t taken strong cohesion pills, she would’ve fainted already!

“No problem! I’ll do my best and work to the overly-best of my capabilities, Chairwoman! I promise you!” Yun Nitu said, waving goodbye as she passed by Heian Ciemnosc and stared at Anastasia like the treasure of treasures and gem of gems. She totally ignored Heian Ciemnosc, who looked at Alyona as she turned and gave him a kind smile to Yun Nitu’s ignorance. If the latter knew, only one could tell if her cultivation base would go awry.

After Yun Nitu left, Alyona walked to Heian Ciemnosc before everyone else in the central command’s view and gently spoke while accommodating his clothes like a wife would. “You’ve brought a decent maid. Hehe. She can teach our daughter well. Meanwhile…”

Alyona’s black-coffee eyes had the definition of being capable of destroying a Universe just from looking at them, making everyone crazy and kill each other, destroying all life just to be the only one to ever be glanced at when she stared in their general direction.

Heian Ciemnosc felt his blood boil as he had many things to tell her. He took her right hand into his left one and rushed outside the central command, startling her. And boarded a transporting vehicle to his bedroom. With Anastasia in their arms still, nothing could be done, but Heian Ciemnosc wanted the opportunity to touch and kiss his wife while telling her his new stories.

… When they arrived at his bedroom, Heian Ciemnosc sat her on the edge of the bed, snuggled the little shit in his chest more comfortably until she let out cute, gaping noises that indicated she felt in heaven within his dark coat and sat beside his wife.

Alyona waited for him patiently. Her eyes expressed gentleness as he treated their little baby with utmost softness. When he sat beside her, her head unknowingly followed his body as her eyes were stuck to his being. She looked slightly silly, but in Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes, this sight was marvelous enough to dazzle him for a couple minutes until she softly said.

“What is it? Won’t you tell me?” Alyona’s smile added further firewood to the chimney. Heian Ciemnosc bumped foreheads with her and proceeded to kiss her. Alyona was taken aback, surprised, but only for half a second, as she could’ve easily avoided his actions. Her neck shrunk, and she lifted her left hand to hold his neck, but only Alyona looked vulnerable in the act.

Her arms slowly encompassed his neck, resting on his shoulders, letting him do all sorts of atrocities to her mouth and face with his mouth. Suddenly, they both sensed movement and noticed a tiny hand had pulled Alyona’s top down, revealing her left teat. Anastasia’s sleepy eyes and yawn were followed by her lunge against the humongous left breast before suckling.

Not realizing nothing was coming out, Anastasia sleepily closed her eyes while continuing to suck. Alyona thinly smiled as she looked down, still hugging her husband’s neck. Suddenly, Heian Ciemnosc lowered his head, pulled her top down, and revealed her right breast. Without a doubt, Heian Ciemnosc lunged at her teat, letting his lips and teeth be felt by her sensitive nipple as he suckled and licked to his heart’s content.

Alyona’s neck twisted to the right, and she lifted her chin until she was facing the ceiling. Her right hand caressed his nape, but she could only watch as Heian Ciemnosc cared not for morality and abused her in her weakest moments. She was helpless… but still smiled contentedly as Heian Ciemnosc's nostrils flared open and closed nonstop, enjoying her lots.

. . .

2 days later, after Yun Nitu exited closed doors, Heian Ciemnosc brought her to the Carrier’s core’s gate in a transporting vehicle.

“Uhm, Heian Ciemnosc, are you sure I can enter?” Yun Nitu asked. Yun Tang walked beside her, although he could only wait outside the alchemy room while Yun Nitu worked hard for the past 2 days. At least he could play the Mini Warlord table board version with Heian Ciemnosc.

Heian Ciemnosc didn’t look at Yun Nitu as the gate started opening, with his hands behind his back, and said. “If I didn’t deem you worthy, I wouldn’t have let you come to the Space Station. I would’ve asked the upper echelons to grant me permission to bring my Defensive Frigate into space and bring you there. Yun Nitu, you’re our ally and my pal.”

Heian Ciemnosc finished his words while turning his head to look at her. Yun Nitu was already looking at him, and when he finished his words, her eyes blinked, revealing determination and profound understanding when her eyelids were lifted again.

“Thank you, Heian Ciemnosc. That’s… very nice to hear, actually.” Yun Nitu nodded, exuding gentleness, and politely said, in a good mood, before turning to look at the ajar gate. She pointed at it and said, somewhat unsure. “Ah. Should we enter now? I don’t think it’s opening any further.”

“Mn,” Heian Ciemnosc lightly nodded before stepping forwards. Yun Nitu followed his steps, trying to match his motions while walking a step behind him. For some strange reason, she felt good walking behind him, watching his back, and as if he was leading her despite the casualness of their situation.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

They walked through the gates and entered the garden Heian Ciemnosc already knew by the letter. But Yun Nitu didn’t. This was an absolutely gorgeous garden, with more tiny lifeforms and flora she could count or imagine. As someone whose organization values nature deeply despite not idolizing it, remaining pragmatic as their foundation, a place like this could only be a holy ground for peace and meditation. To cultivate here would be to defile nature.

If only Yun Nitu knew how badly Heian Ciemnosc has ‘dirtied’ this garden after he was half-recruited into the Crimsonbreaking Faction and into his wives’ lives…

They walked through the fog until they could barely discern a humongous tree in the distance. Somewhat closer than the tree, a couple of figures were in a lesson. One lectured, and the other listened. One stood on their feet while the other sat on a boulder unearthed from elsewhere in the garden. Both were Heian Ciemnosc’s wives and his source of strength.

Step, step… step, step.

“... We’ll leave it here for now. Our visitors have arrived.” A mature, innately sweet voice echoed as Yun Nitu’s sight discerned the 2 figures. One was very tall and a beauty, to say the least. The other was a younger lady with a strange aura surrounding her within this natural garden. Both were incredible, outstanding living beings whose achievements should only be as high as the less than 1% of the cultivators population in the world.

“Eyo! This one’s my new teacher?” Milyy said, ignoring all cordial procedures and scrutinizing Yun Nitu’s body. After making the latter feel like her body was bare and violated by the turquoise hot pink mixed eyes. Milyy glanced at Heian Ciemnosc’s pale, irresistibly handsome face and blurted out, “Let me see when you bang her. That should be entertaining~.”

“Milyy,” Heian Ciemnosc sternly spoke. Milyy stuck out her tongue and looked at Yun Tang, “Just kidding. Don’t sweat. It wasn’t like I was going to get rid of you to avoid any rumors from spreading. There’s no fun in stealing that way. Hehe.”

Yun Tang sweat bullets. Hong Mei shook her head, knowing this was just Milyy's innate defensive measures. And just like Milyy didn’t let Hong Mei get close to her until she saw the latter in Heian Ciemnosc’s bed many times, Milyy won’t give Yun Nitu an easy, flawless experience teaching her.

Thus, Yun Nitu met Milyy for the first time officially. Hong Mei also met Yun Nitu, who would take turns to teach the savage kitty Milyy is. From then on, the days in the Crimsonbreaking Faction’s Space Station were meant to better up.

. . .

After returning from the covert operation, Heian Ciemnosc and his Eternal Return Team were paid 1,000,000 silver coins for their success, while the other Teams gained between 300,000 and 500,000 silver coins. Additionally, every individual who participated gained 100,000 silver coins. For Heian Ciemnosc’s overall great success and overly beneficial results, he was granted a few more benefits regarding cultivation resources and discounts.

For once, the Eternal Return Team could finally buy their second Frigate! The expenses to keep their base, improve it, and one’s cultivation were costly. Even then, after a few decades of collectively saving money, the Team finally had enough to buy the Offensive Frigate of their dreams!

Thanks to the attaining of such coming from their efforts, what they felt was as worth it as they had thought it would be when Beto first formed their Team. Heian Ciemnosc specifically led the ‘charge’ into the Faction’s market section and bought their second Frigate.

Initially, Heian Ciemnosc thought it would have been empty or that they could choose to go into space with only 1 of them. However, after he bought it, he was requested for his presence by the Flotilla commander. Heian Ciemnosc was thus informed of the situation. He could select the personnel for his second Frigate and could bring it to space, but only if the personnel was complete and up to standards.

Not even 2 months had passed after the Team bought the Offensive Frigate, and Heian Ciemnosc was already checking possible candidates. These could only come from the new recruits. Not from the already existing soldier units. He had to choose them selectively, and he had his Team members to ease the process.

After a couple months, Heian Ciemnosc had the Offensive Frigate filled up, and he could then bring them to space training with the Defensive Frigate. Heian Ciemnosc experienced first-handedly the strain of ‘co-leading’ 2 spaceships at once. Be it battling, fleeing, or stagnant bombardment. Everything became more complicated when only 1 extra spaceship was added.

There were too many things to consider when one battled in space through spaceships. It was exhaustingly tough when it all started, but it became easier as time passed, and Heian Ciemnosc got used to the strain. Besides, how could Heian Ciemnosc, a co-leading Team Leader trained by the Crimsonbreaking Faction, not know how to get used to such torment?

At the same time, Heian Ciemnosc constantly visited between the Carrier’s core and the brand-new bedroom module beside Alyona’s. Modules for caretaking newborns already existed, but Alyona didn’t want their Little Anastasia far from her or any of her co-wives. As for her father, he was too busy with his cultivation base and didn’t wish to take his time away.

That meant that, more often than not, and in such a silly way. Alyona was seen carrying a tiny baby from module to module as she attended her meetings, took part in some introductions with other organizations, and struck deals with some merchants across the Existence. She also signed missions for a particular organization after a short period after investigating them and verifying their reliability.

Alyona didn’t care, of course. Her people would never say something about it, sure. But she still drove and appeared in the Carrier and Space Station holding the sweet little baby clinging to her. A few maids followed her, and whenever the little baby cried, they would bring Little Anastasia somewhere, place a barrier, and spend at least an hour before exiting it.

At least one maid would result exhausted after the barrier was set down. Rumors flew, and they were faster than ever. But after Heian Ciemnosc’s accomplishments became known, especially with so many others regarding Heian Ciemnosc’s performance as life-saving in unprecedented events, the Crimsonbreaking Faction could only secretly send hate to Heian Ciemnosc’s way.

Heian Ciemnosc’s cultivation became more intense than his Team members imagined. While his schedule became only busier after the Offensive Frigate was bought, and he even had to teach them things they would need to know for future battles, he still broke through several stages in less than half a year.

Of course, there was also the addition of a new method for him to do so. Whenever someone else needed to cultivate, they could just go to Heian Ciemnosc in the second living room of their improved base and sit beside him to cultivate. Heian Ciemnosc would send a whiff of shivering-cold dark Neutral Energy to their backs and start what he called as his group cultivation method.

It was a fantastic, new cultivation method they hadn’t known of before. They were aware that Heian Ciemnosc had a strange dual cultivation method that didn’t harm any party, even if they were from a higher or much lower realm. It was also immensely beneficial if their cultivation base was equal. Thus, with Heian Ciemnosc’s strange prowess, the Team members’ cultivation increased under his group cultivation method.

Even then, they didn’t expect that just 1 or 2 hours of cultivating with their Team Leader this way would grant them better efficiency and even some stabilization to their future breakthrough! This made them curious because, according to his words, the dual cultivation version was slightly better still.

Heian Ciemnosc’s cultivation base increased to the Breaking Point realm 10th stage before anyone could know it. They actively excused Heian Ciemnosc from not granting them any more missions, as they felt bound to make the Offensive Frigate work and maintain its position in their incomplete Flotilla. They didn’t feel like children wanting a toy but like adults taking care of their professional lives to the highest levels.

Thus, as Heian Ciemnosc cultivated in his Breaking Point realm 10th stage, the rest of his Team were working their asses to know what to do and learn in order to command the Offensive Frigate under Heian Ciemnosc’s direct command, even if it might not come to that.

… At this moment, Heian Ciemnosc sat in the second living room, on the other side from the first living room beside the small kitchen. The Team was out preparing the Offensive Frigate’s personnel while Heian Ciemnosc cultivated. Suddenly, he felt something and smoothly opened his eyes to half. His darkest eyes were serious but then showed a tremble as Heian Ciemnosc exited his engrossed state and straightened his back.

Taking a deep breath, he lifted his chin and semi-closed his eyes. Gradually lowering his chin, he closed his eyes fully as he clasped his hands, thumb, index, and middle fingers intertwined as his ring finger and pinky semi-intertwined.

“Good luck, huuuuubby~!” Sara echoed inside his head before everything went silent for him. Heian Ciemnosc felt his inner body calm and collected, silent and lifeless, just the way he liked things.

Heian Ciemnosc felt rested and at ease, but this wasn’t his goal. He was in his inner being, not as a Soul-ish body or taking a glimpse. At this moment, he was his own inner self, and nothing else mattered or was.

Heian Ciemnosc motioned his gaze towards the place where only stardust and desolation remained. His mind flickered with many images, ideals, and thoughts he’d acquired during the last months. It was near the 36th Change year and closer to the 4th since he joined the Crimsonbreaking Faction. He had grown more than he hoped and thought he would. And this was with obvious limitations that anyone else would be restrained.

The only thing Heian Ciemnosc knew he was aided in was co-leading the Offensive Frigate. Even with his achievements, he wouldn’t be allowed to do so without being an Officer. But he knew as time passed after he returned from the Semi-Space, the Crimsonbreaking Faction was deciding the new batch of Officers for the 5th year since Heian Ciemnosc arrived. And his name was one of those being discussed.

The pure darkness in his inner being, where his inner galaxies once were, but which he started destroying immediately after forming his 10th inner galaxy and reaching the Soul Spirit realm 10th stage to break into the Breaking Point realm 1st stage. The tiny remains of what was left… slowly fell and turned into thin nothingness in his inner space.

Heian Ciemnosc’s mind centered, and he found his body flowing with mighty, dark Neutral Energy, showering every vein, bone, and flesh under his skin. Heian Ciemnosc felt as the destroyed inner galaxies’ remains dissipated and only pure darkness remained. Everything continued to be lifeless, and his body started spasming under his skin without moving his arms or even a hair.

Heian Ciemnosc felt lord of his inner ‘space’ as he looked at it, and a thought emerged in the deepest confines of his self. If he could morph his darkest eyes into this place, they would be terrifying, staring at the emptiness as if he could command it without his will. Something absolute— totally all-creating.

‘... Life… life… I don’t care about it… But life… it is what I seek… to progress… to know… to understand… to step!’ Heian Ciemnosc’s thoughts formed, and as his body spasmed underneath his skin, the inner ‘space’ between his Dantian and Psychogenic started shaking. Something was coming. Something terrifying, hair-raising, and soul-snatching…

Destruction was coming.

CCRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK…

“!” Heian Ciemnosc felt his heart, dark Soul, and Dantian and Psychogenic regions shake as he effectuated what he needed the most, what engendered life…

‘Destruction of my inner galaxies… come forth… open my inner universe!!’

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM~~~~!!!... …

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUUUUUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~!!!!... … … …
