A Dream Come True Epilogue

Theo’s company building
It was the regular nightmare that Theo has gotten used to dealing with whenever he slumbered.
The severed limbs and half crushed bodies of the young and old from the Black Bible incident once again surrounded Theo.
However, this time it was different.
This time, it was kind of pleasant
While the nightmarish scenery was very much present, the words that were being thrown his way were not curses.
The innocent victims were encouraging him
“Rip her apart!”
“Tear her limb from limb!”
“Make her suffer for what she has done to us!”
And so on and so forth.
The victims urged Theo to rip the Priestess apart. Again and again and again, for all eternity.
And so he did.
Driven by the ghosts of those who did not deserve to die, Theo unleashed all the hatred and violence into the spectral Priestess of Cain within his subconsciousness.
And then, he awakened from his slumber
While the nightmares still piss him off, it did give him a small measure of pride and accomplishment.
While he has done many things to further his goals, brutally butchering the Priestess of Cain felt like he has finally made a tangible step forward.
It was a symbolic achievement, but it felt much more than that.
As he predicted, after losing consciousness from his ‘final meeting’ with the Priestess of Cain, he woke up in the room that he converted into a treatment center.
The amount of IVs and tubes attached to him was quite a horrific sight, but it was well within expectation.
From the corner of his eye, he spotted his good friend doctor frog face.
“Wazzup doc.” said Theo in a voice so weak that it shocked even him.
It was practically a whisper at this point.
The doctor noticed Theo’s awakening and in a friendly gesture, bitched slapped the patient a few times.
Satisfied with dealing out punishment to the young reckless brat, the doctor straighten himself and spoke in a tired voice.
“I could have sworn that I told you not to die. Yet when your troops got you here, you were practically a corpse! To make matters worse, you were in a coma for an entire week! What the hell is wrong with you!” complained the Doctor
“You’re exaggerating. I know I may have stepped over the line a bit, but I’m very sure that it was within reason” replied Theo
The doctor took out his phone, set in on selfie mode and hovered it just in front of Theo’s face.
“Holy Shit!” exclaimed Theo
The image staring back at him was a Theo that was pale as death and malnourished as hell.
His cheeks has sunken in, his neck was thin and his arms looked like fragile twigs.
“Damn…. I stand corrected. I definitely deserved that bitch slapping earlier.”
“More is coming your way.” replied the doctor as he pointed to the side of the room.
Theo tried to see what’s what, but his body was too weak to even raise himself from his bed.
The doctor helped Theo up.
There were 2 individuals occupying the small area on the side of the room.
First was Pani who was sleeping on a couch. Based on the stack of papers on the ground it seemed that she brought all of her work into this room.
Second and more worryingly was Nichola who was curled into a fetal position in a stack of what seemed to be her clothing.
“When you were brought in, the brown girl was calm enough… or at least that’s what she looked like on the surface. Let’s just say she has not left this room ever since that day. However, I am worried about long haired girl. She pretty much broke down the moment she saw you. It took a long time before she calmed down enough to be able to function like a normal human being” said the doctor with a sigh.
“Nichola? Breaking down? You gotta be shitting me. She’s the most level headed and rational among my waifus. There’s no way she could break down with just my near death experience.”
Stolen story; please report.
“*sigh*... That only means that you’re still ways off till your at Miss Samantha’s level on reading people. When I asked her for advice as to how to deal with black haired girl here, she told me to let her be. She might look like a tough cookie, but the years of isolation and persecution has made her into someone that would desperately cling unto people that offered her genuine companionship. You’re the only one that can snap her out of that high level of depression.”
“Well…. Shit…. Now I feel like crap.”
“As you should. It was not fun stopping black haired girl from murdering the petite HAA girl.”
“Wait, What?!”
“You heard me. When petite HAA girl visited to see how you were doing, Black Hair exploded. Black hair blamed the petite HAA girl for dragging you into this whole mess. If the white haired wife of yours didn't call earlier and specifically commanded your troops to stop black hair, her demonettes would have torn petite HAA girl to shreds”
A groan escaped Theo.
He really felt like shit right now.
Never have it crossed his mind that his potential demise would have such a catastrophic effect on Nichola of all people.
He made a firm promise to himself to make up for all the suffering Nichola has experience in any way possible once he recovered.
However, there was something in the doctor’s statement that worried Theo greatly.
“Hold on…. Did Juno just actually make a logical decision? She’s actually the first person I would suspect to go nuts” asked Theo
“I would normally agree with you on that one, but she was indeed the calmest of your 3 babes. When I showed her your state via webcam, she responded with ‘Theo was born with the greatest of destinies where he sits on top of the world. No way something of this level can slow him down.’ I guess compared to your other babes, white hair is the one that understands your capabilities the most.” replied the doctor
Theo wasn't sure if he was suppose to be flattered or not of Juno’s blind faith on his capabilities.
In terms of the power levels of this world, Theo’s Midas Alchemy was at the lower bracket.
Why Juno kept putting him on a pedestal confused him to no end.
“Oh yeah. Speaking of the white haired girl, she told me that you must call her the moment you woke up. Apparently it was very important.” said the doctor
“I see. I’ll do just that.” replied Theo. “But before you go, do you have an ETA as to when I’ll be back to normal?”
“I’m no expert on the Rejuvenation Potion, so you better take my word with a grain of salt. When they brought you in, your heart was no longer beating, yet your brain was extremely active for some reason. I don't know how that was physically possible, but that’s exactly what happened. The Rejuvenation Potion gave your body to function normally again. The moment you woke up was the moment that your body has enough energy to support your consciousness. If this keeps up, you should recover your muscle mass in 3 days at least.”
“Very nice.”
“By the way, I’m going to tie you to that bed until you make a full recovery. You have a habit of doing stupid shit after all.”
“Ugh… I’ll be a good boy. I promise.”
“We’ll see about that.”
What that said, the doctor left the room and gave Theo some privacy.
Theo used his mind to call in a drone that carried a computer with it. He activated the video call function, and after a few rings, the face of Juno in a loose nightgown appeared on screen.
As per usual, it revealed next to no skin at all, yet she looked erotic nevertheless.
“Good evening darling. It seemed that you were up to something really fun while I was gone. I would have loved to join the party.” said Juno with her usual smile plastered on her face.
“And have you increase the body count exponentially higher than it already was?” replied Theo
“Hahaha. I can't deny that’s the likely outcome. Anyways, I’d like to hear directly from you what exactly happened. I’d get the complete picture that way.”
“Sure. It’s going to be a long one though.”
“I have all the time in the world.”
“Very well. I guess it started in the Cathrige Private Ski Resort...”
Theo began recounting Lord’s ability to create Soul Stones and Theo’s convoluted plan to express his ‘gratitude’ to the Priestess of Cain for setting him to this path of blood and carnage.
Though Juno’s smile never wavered, Theo has gotten used to seeing through her poker face.
Theo could tell that she was very interested in 3 points in Theo’s story.
The Lord’s Soul Stone creation ability, the BFG 01 and the fate of the Priestess of Cain.
While he understood her interest in the soul stone (Juno was very knowledgeable in magical matters) and the priestess (Juno enjoyed killing strong enemies), he could not comprehend why BFG 01 was on her radar.
She was never proficient with science based weapons to begin with.
While Theo mused on this, Juno spoke.
“What’s your plan with the BFG 01? Am I correct to assume that BFG 01 is a prototype?” asked Juno.
“Right you are. Just to be clear though, the BFG 01 was not the important piece. It’s actually the the Doom Bringer ammunition” replied Theo while trying to gauge the reason why Juno was so interested in the BFG 01.
“Really? Do tell.”
“This event was nothing more than a field test of a proof of concept for an alternative to the Nuclear Bomb as a weapon mass destruction. Now that the Doom Bringer ammunition has proven to be viable, I’ll go ahead and proceed with the full scale 150 meter long rail gun and a much larger Doom Bringer ammo.”
“Hmm… I see…. This has never happen before.” said Juno, much to Theo’s confusion.
“Of course it hasn't. I think I’m the only one in the world who is crazy enough to try such a disgustingly convoluted weapon” replied Theo
“Huh? Ah! Indeed! Hahahaha. But such is expected of you darling.”
Theo immediately understood that Juno’s ‘This has never happen before’ pertained to something very different.
As to what it was, Theo had no clue.
And nothing made Theo more uncomfortable than the unknown.
However, it was clear that Juno had no intention of letting him in on what’s what.
For now, he decided to change subject.
“By the way, how’s that trip of yours? Did you convince your parents to invest in my company?” asked Theo
“Yup. It took a while and a lot of pestering, but I was able convince them in the end.” replied Juno
Juno went ahead and reiterated her experiences during the past month.
Much to Theo’s surprise, Juno’s story was painfully uneventful
“You haven't killed anyone? Really? I find that hard to believe.” said the skeptical Theo
“I take offense on that statement. Just what type of person do you think I am?” asked Juno as she puffed her cheeks.
“A whirlwind of murder and violence that won't hesitate to kill anyone that stands in your way”
“Aww~ You sure know how to compliment a lady. However, I do have decent levels of self control”
“I find that impossible to believe”
“I don't believe it either, but the facts speak for themselves”
As the conversation devolved into nonsense, Theo remembered why he called her in the first place.
“By the way, Doc said you had something you needed to discuss with me.” said Theo
“Oh right. I forgot about that for a bit. Anyways, I want you to look at something”
Juno proceeded to lift take off her nightgown and sideways
Theo immediately noticed that her stomach was slightly bigger than he remembered
“Huh. You gained weight. I know you and I like the greasy stuff, but everything in moderation.” said Theo
“Hahaha. I like it how your response is as cliché as it gets. Anyways you’re wrong.” said Juno as she pointed at the small bump in her stomach. “I know the due date is ways off, but we better start thinking of potential names Papa.”
“... Huh? … What?” asked Theo who despite having an extremely powerful brain, was surprisingly slow on the uptake at the moment.
Then again, he was still in the road to recovery from the previous battle
However, the ever blunt Juno delivered a shocking news whether Theo was ready or not
“I’m pregnant with your child! Congratulations Papa!”
Theo reacted to Juno’s statement similar anyone in his age group who received this particular news
“Well….. shit”
