Symbolic Ritual.

Nodding her head, Margarita then turned toward her husband and said, "Cheer up, husband. The Yang Contradiction and Yin Confusion are slightly elevated now. You don't need to be sad about me anymore, because I am not the only one who is broken—we all are. In the first place, we all wanted to enter this home, and our subconscious minds already knew this would likely happen. So, I take back my Yin Confusion statement that I wanted to have this relationship solely for the benefit. We all want normal, healthy relationships where we can speak our minds whenever we want without being treated as mere decorations. But we also want to have kinks of unimaginable desire for our private lives only. So, husband, cheer up, okay?"

"O-okay."

Knowing her husband is currently in a state of returning to origin, making him no more than mortal and susceptible to all kinds of emotions, unlike before when he could stay calm despite what he did to all of them, Margarita cradled him like a child before standing up to walk into their living room to dine on a simple meal, knowing they were all starving from the anguish and complicated emotions brought by their dark process and light realization.

"Elder sister. Everything is ready."

Nodding her head to Mai Shiranui, who had entered the living room where a large river of fate flowed in the sky, Margarita sat on one of the sofas and said, "Okay then, I want every five thousand of my sisters to feed our husband here, one by one, so that we can pamper our crybaby husband instead of him keeping his promise to pamper us all."

Seeing her husband chuckling in her embrace and causing all of her sisters to laugh as well, Wanda sat down beside them and pinched the selfish baby's cheeks slightly, teasingly saying, "Yes, elder sister. Sigh, what wouldn't we do for you, husband? So please, truly love us from now on, okay? Don't do the same thing you did with Tsunade, where one of our sisters didn't want to do something you asked. Understood?"

"U-understood."

Walking closer to the first eight of her sisters who had met her husband first, Diana Prince looked at the seat beside elder sister Margarita and asked the sisters in the area, "Can I sit here?"

Wanting to sit beside elder sister Margarita just like Wanda, Mai Shiranui paused and gave junior sister Diana Prince a hand, saying, "Sure, junior sister Diana Prince. Go ahead."

Nodding her head and sitting beside elder sister Margarita, Diana then gently parted her husband's bangs before looking at Tsunade beside her, "Will the crying of blood affect him from now on?"

Opening her tablet, Tsunade replied, "Sadly, yes. Our husband's condition will become much worse from now on. Although he never shows how painful it is, I think it has aggravated to the point where he can't access his Golden Branch or Butterfly Effect anymore in a vegetative state."

Just listening silently as her sisters discussed her husband's fate, Hermione Granger, who was currently sitting at the table, asked her husband, "Husband… Then can we be the ones to control the Golden Branch when you are in a vegetative state? It's okay, you can rest easy; we and our children will be safe when those kinds of things happen to you."

"O-okay."

Seeing that sister Mai had already brought the food over and was giving her the food to symbolize their equality, Hermione took the bowl and moved toward her husband to scoop some of the soup before feeding him. After finishing giving him the broth, she then passed it to Illyana Rasputina, who was beside her, while hearing something from her husband that made her laugh out loud along with many of her sisters.

"P-please, d-don't t-tell anyone a-about this. Not y-your f-families or even y-your friends. T-this is embarrassing."

As all her sisters giggled and chuckled, Emma Frost walked closer and tickled his cheeks while teasingly saying, "Does our husband want to be seen as a brave little boy?"

"S-stop it. I-I don't like b-being teased."

Laughing along with some of her sisters, Emma Frost tickled his cheeks again before saying, "It doesn't matter. Our brave little boy cannot shape us to his will anymore because some of us have contradictory wishes with you. So, because our boy wants all of us, our husband Tian must listen to what we have to say, understand?"

"N-NO!"

Flicking her husband's forehead and making him yelp in pain, Diana Prince sternly said to him, "Yes. Junior sister Emma has a good point. So listen to her. If not, then we all will fight you to the death. It doesn't matter whether it breaks our hearts or not. We will do our best to knock some sense into your head. So if our husband doesn't want to kill his wives over a simple matter like a kink, you must listen to us, understand?"

"B-but—"

"Shush. No 'but.'"

Pausing, Diana then continued, "Elder sister Margarita represents us from now on. So we will not have to listen to you when we don't like it. Again, no treating us like property as you did last time."

Seeing him nod in silence, Diana then stroked his ego, "Moreover, husband, you can play with our new sisters who want to become one with us. Because they too must receive the same treatment if they want to enter the Serene Lotus Pavilion. So at least that is something we can do to keep your dark desires in check. Does my husband understand?"

"Y-yes, I understand. B-but I-I don't like b-being teased."

Walking closer to hug her husband, who was currently in elder sister's embrace, Emma Frost kissed his forehead before reassuring him, "It's okay, husband. It stays between us as husband and wife. You don't need to worry, husband, because we will not smear your reputation outside the house, as we still respect you wholeheartedly. Does that alleviate your concern?"

"Y-yes."

Returning to teasing him once again, Emma Frost called her husband all sorts of names that made him blush with embarrassment, further intensified by her playful actions like pinching his nose.

Noticing that her elder sister Margarita had mixed feelings, as she always spoiled their husband's every wish, Emma kissed her forehead, reassuring her that they all held a special place in their husband's heart, no matter what they had done.

Seeing that Wanda had already made space for her to sit, Emma caressed her husband's handsome face while occasionally glancing at the river of fate flowing through the center of the living room. Meanwhile, her many sisters were passing through the symbolic ritual of feeding their husband.
