Operations were halted, and even those slaves still within the mist were invited to a huge banquet. Before that, though, a meeting of gods, kings and emperors would be held in which I invited all the deities, generals and guests that had made all of this effort possible.
We had completed three major milestones: we took back the Elf Kingdom, we defeated Ains Ooal Gown, and we severely weakened the Slane Theocracy, leaving them ready to be taken over.
We had an idea: a toast. It was supposed to be in a place filled with grandeur, like the Baharut Empire's castle, or one of the Sun Churches in Calissa that were still being built.
But no, not this time.
Elysir and I hosted a small meeting event at our house due to my mom's insistence, saying that it was a pity that we had such a massive dining room and no one had ever been invited to a toast there. Now that we had the chance, she wanted to do it.
Women, or better said, mothers.
She never asks me for anything, so how could I say no? Let alone, we have just enough guests to fit in the table... no biggie.
On one side sat those people dear to me, as well as the deities of the 'Sun Pantheon' as it would be called in the future.
The banquet began outside of our house with Katsuyu and Solution's clones serving food and beverages to those ex-slaves still within the moonlight mist. The rebel army also attended and was congratulated for their victory. It was a massive party where everyone rejoiced. While that was taking place, we had our own private toast.
I had to be the mighty Sun God in front of our allies, but a few of my girls were determined to make me lose face no matter what.
Kurumi walked in. She was a big part of all this; if not for her help, we wouldn't be able to do it so efficiently. I wanted her to enjoy, but she saw the table, and then looked at me with a reluctant/irritated look.
"Master, I don't need dinner or gifts… just massage me and then fuck me– uhm!~"
"Shhh, Kurumi, don't embarrass me!"
I had to cover her mouth as I watched the guests, who were all coming into the house, all perk up with her words. As if that wasn't enough, Haku leaned her massive breasts on my head and giggled.
"But she's right, master…? What is the use for us to attend? Can't you see we have nearly lost our patience?" Haku grinned with a predatory gaze, "Now that such a big milestone has been achieved, there are no more excuses, right?"
"Haku, not here!–"
"Master, don't ignore me" Solution pulled my sleeves; she had an incredible performance too, so far, I could no longer punish her. She was even ignoring Kurumi altogether. I was gonna address her, only to realise that her gaze was fixated on my crotch.
'What is wrong with these pets?!'
Kurumi, Solution and Haku were certainly at their limit. Specially Solution, whom I have been deliberately neglecting due to her punishment.
The pets were outraged, and I knew what awaited... and I was looking forward to it too. But not now. I shoved them into the house, away from prying gazes, and whispered, "Girls, behave… I promise I'll reward you and compensate you properly. But you have to attend tonight and give me some face, you were very important for all this to happen".
The three of them reluctantly attended with the condition that they'd be able to sit next to me. I complied without an issue; they deserved it. So I put Haku and Kurumi to my left, Solution on my right. Elysir looked at me as if she wanted to slaughter me... all I could do was apologise.
They were a problem, but they weren't the only problem...
"Huehue~ RAYYY!!"
"…"
Ely and I deadpanned when a drunk Aqua burst into the room together with an awkward Jicniv and his Empress. She leaned on me, hiccuped and started to press her index finger against my chest accusingly.
"You have no idea how hard I have worked! Even though I'm your WIFE, how could you leave me alone for so long!?"
"Aqua, I–"
I didn't even decide that myself. Horus did put her into that group because she was a Goddess, and then I kinda wasn't heartless enough to remove her. Dammit, Horus.
"Because I was added to the WIFE group, so you can't just leave me alone for that long, you meanie! I am your number one WIF–" She was gonna continue, but Elysir grasped her hand with a 'smile' that almost sobered Aqua back up.
"Dear, don't push it~".
"S-Sorry..."
I patted her back, caressed my brows, and decided to leave her punishment for later. After rubbing my temples for a bit and circulating my powers, Aqua was sober once more and blushing madly at the scene she made in front of everyone.
"Sit here, Aqua~" I beckoned with a smile that promised suffering.
"Yes…"
Galadriel greeted everyone and sat regally without much Drama, my dear midnight elf, why can't everyone be like you? Lastly, Ophis came out of my body, yawned a bit and sat as well without making much of a scene. She had tact… the dragoness was pissed that I woke her up for this, but unlike Aqua, she knew how to handle herself.
I told Jicniv and his wife to sit, then Draudillon and Leone arrived, followed by someone I didn't know but Galadriel did, the man's name was Orloff, and he was a triton, a monarch of the underwater domains. He had been fighting to recover territory with Galadriel's assistance, but this was his first time in the Moonlight Mist.
He knelt in front of me and kissed my hand. It was a bit weird… but in short, due to Galadriel's brainwashing *cough!* influence, he was loyal to the Sun Church. He also came alongside his wife, a mermaid named Alicia… she was beautiful to say the least and funny enough was riding what looked like a levitating water sphere.
Her bottom was that of a fish, so she couldn't walk.
"It is a pleasure to meet you all o' almighty deities" They greeted.
"No need for formalities. Feel at home~" My mom had switched with Elysir and she answered.
Lastly, Anna came together with Alana and the priestesses. My now beautiful Elf Goddess and her Moon Elves. Everyone applauded their efforts and conquest... they were dressing formally and looking more like princesses than warriors.
There wasn't that much of a huge change in the physical department, but that was because Alana, Yuna, Merluna and Nocturna were already quite ravishing… their beauty was enhanced, now they looked more noble than forest elves, but their warrior demeanour was still there. Their hair was now silver, their supple skin had gained a star hue. Their features were sharper... and their breasts bigger? That must be my horny imagination at work.
They all kissed the back of my palm, even Anna did. The Elf Goddess sat on my side, but Alana and the rest sat on Jicniv's side.
We were all at our spots. Not everyone knew one another, but they all knew whoever sat here was at the pinnacle of this world. Their position was so elite that they were allowed to sit with the deities of this world at a table, sharing sushi. On one side, the pillars of this world who would inherit it and make out of it a place where all races could thrive together against foreign threats.
They wouldn't allow another Avarice to surge in these lands.
- The Leader of the Continental Deepsea Alliance, Orloff.
- The Emperor and Empress of the Baharut Empire. Jicniv Farlord and his wife, Roxanne.
- The Empress of the new Elf Empire, Anna Blair.
- The Queen of the Dragon Kingdom, Draudillon Oriculus.
- The Monarch of the Beastman Country, Leone.
On our side, the deities and guardians who had saved this world from stillness and set the landmark for future generations.
- I, The Sun God, Ray Lux (Osiris).
- The Sun Goddess, Elysir (Anubis).
- The Dragon Goddess, Ophis.
- The Midnight Elf, Galadriel.
- The Water Goddess and Archbishop of the Sun Church, Aqua.
- The Moon Goddess, Haku Lux.
Naturally, there were also those whose participation was unquestionable. Like Alana and the Priestesses, Kurumi, and Solution... we began with introductions and then moved to a congratulatory toast for what we all had achieved.
With all of us sitting here at this secular dimension, the Sun Era of this world began.
