66

*Yawn*

After returning to the village due to the constant use of divine powers, the extreme exhaustion and fatigue that Chris had to suffer would last for at least three days.

"Chris what time is it?" Mana asked as she got up next to Chris without a garment on her body only covered by the blanket from the bed.

In order to recover from his exhausted state, Chris had to cultivate together with Mana so that she could absolve her essence that had become overcharged due to her excessive energy, since Mana was an Eternal being and the accumulation of her essence in the last 16 years. Not only did Chris recover in a single night by passing on his supercharged energy, but by taking a bit of Mana essence, if he kept practicing with her every night, he could make a breakthrough in no time.

Chris took Mana as his partner this time since he had pushed her away for 16 years so he wanted to pamper her, plus Kira still hasn't absorbed the essence he left inside her last time, if he gives her more of his power it is likely that she will overload herself hurting her in the process, in Lillia's case she was the weakest among all making her unable to bear if she gives her some of that power hurting her too, Visia and Kaguya have to be virgins when they sign the master pact and servant, and lastly Astrid since she is a succubus and someone in the Eternal realm could take it but since she was still a virgin the virgin essence from her first time is so massive that Chris may not be able to control it wasting most of that power so I reject her even though she was the first to offer herself but more than anything I wanted to nurture Mana's divine physique as it will soon give her the fire of genesis and the lightning of heaven so she can evolve into a physical the of imperial rank.

"It should be noon, get up now we should go eat something" she said to Chris as he encouraged Mana to get up from the bed.

"I want to sleep some more, a bad person devastated me last night and my hip still hurts" said Mana with a tender voice as she hugged Chris like a dakimakura.

"How strange, if not a bad memory, it wasn't a little devil who asked for more despite being on the verge of tailing" Chris said as he returned Mana's hug.

When Mana who was trying to be capricious heard this, her face turned red, but she recovered by remembering something.

"Chris, I want to ask you a question about your essence" Mana.

"What is?" Chris was curious he knew that the divine power amplified her powers and her energy but what was Mana going to ask.

"It's about the changes in your energy since I have consumed it for many centuries, he was able to recognize it even better than that succubus, the changes it underwent are not a mutation, nor evolution, nor is it an empowerment from obtaining divine power, it seems as if your energy would have already had this power and the previous energy was a limited pseudo energy while the current one is your true energy which was released from its restriction" said Mana noticing how strange the change was.

When Chris heard this, she didn't know how to respond, even though she was aware of the changes she hadn't noticed what Mana said, maybe only she who can perfectly recognize her energy could have noticed these things.

"I don't really know there are many things about me that I don't know and I have to find an answer, today we will interrogate the old grim reaper and then I will try to create my divine spark with Visia instructions" said Chris while stroking Mana's head, since he knew that she always liked to be petted on the head, although she usually denies it.

After leaving the room, Chris ordered a golem in the form of a maid to clean and tidy up the bedroom, after everything from the bed, the carpet, the walls and several other pieces of furniture were a mess.

When they went down to the dining room Mana had a beautiful smile as if a flower was blooming, Visia and Kaguya who saw her for a moment only nodded and returned to their usual form despite the fact that a slight blush could be seen on her cheeks almost imperceptible, Kira had a red face, Lillia pouted and finally Astrid looked at Mana with an expression full of spite and envy on her face.

"Okay let's eat and then continue with more important matters" Chris said, but at that moment Astrid spoke with some offense in her voice "That cow can still eat after getting full from consuming so much milk" making the atmosphere a little more awkward.

Mana who accepted the joke with a mischievous smile replied "Well it was a pretty sweet milk and very good to the point where anyone who tried it would become addicted, you should try it sometime I think anyone who has tried it would think the same as me".

When Astrid heard her incitement, she got upset and was going to start another fight with Mana, but at that moment Kira's face that was already red intensified making it look as if she was blowing smoke from her head as she hid her face from her.

"LOL"

"hahahahah"

When everyone saw her cute and embarrassed expression they could only laugh, after all between the fight between two older women and Kira and Lillia's cute expressions, it set the mood for everyone.

"Ok let's eat" Chris.

"I've already brought the food" Lulu.

At that moment Lulu entered the dining room from the kitchen while many different types of dishes floated around her, since Chris, Astrid and Mana eat whatever Lulu prepared they had no problem with the food, but since Lulu didn't know the tastes of Lulu. the other guests prepared all kinds of different dishes and styles for everyone present, after all it was the first group meal they had in a long time and I wanted it to be as special as possible for her to enjoy, it was Lulu's true feelings when she made food.

"To eat"

At that time, everyone sat down at the table and began to taste all the dishes while a happy and harmonious atmosphere spread throughout the dining room.

As Chris watched the peaceful scene, he began to remember the past when he was a child, he felt this same sense of peace and happiness being with his friends and family spending time with them, causing him to wake up many good and peaceful moments from the past seeing how lucky he was. It was from childhood, after that he remembered when he sealed his heart at that time, he also had moments that he shared with many of his family and friends such as Mana, Astrid, his mothers and little sister, despite the fact that he no longer had any more emotions and sensations quality and happy he no longer felt them, he could notice the love of his family and friends who were still by his side watching over his good even at that time making him happy.

"What's wrong Chris" asked Astrid who was still next to her feeling the huge fluctuation of emotions.

"He just remembered the past" Chris answered.

"What did you remember?" Astrid asked curious to know what memory could make Chris have such a happy and cheerful expression.

"I remembered that every time we played in the yard, you intentionally fell into the lake so that it would pamper you" Chris.

When Astrid heard this, her face turned red as she looked around, she saw how the others looked at her with smiles on their faces, in the past she used this trick to be pampered many times and always got her way and never thought that Chris would have realized her schemes, being exposed in such a way in front of everyone present made her feel ashamed.

On the other hand, Kira who stopped being the center of attention became more relaxed and began to enjoy the food more greedily.

After finishing the meal Lulu and Astrid left for the Earth Prosperity Festival event that started today, even though they didn't care much they still had to play their role as representatives, Mana had to digest all of Chris's energy inside her as Kira was in the same situation she took her to the kicks on the mountain behind to help her as the energy Kira absorbed was little compared to the massive amounts she had, Kaguya went to another courtyard to practice Since Chris used mystic god crystals to make energy accumulation magic circles, the environment was always full of natural energy, making it the best place to practice. If this were in a higher world, the energy it would provide would be thousands of times greater, Kaguya told Chris that doing this in such a small world was a waste of such valuable materials, but Chris told her that he had already planned to take all the vile the moment they left the planet and transport it to their internal universe to use it as a residence, making Kaguya complaint stop and finally Chris asked Visia the favor of taking care of Lillia training and they went to another courtyard leaving Chris alone.
