A Day of Work...

After meeting with Keyleth and Vax I bid them adieu, soon doing the same for my wife who needed to get back to her work as a goddess. Thus I was left with Souei to wrap up some basic diplomacy involving meeting nobles and heads of temples. This took half a day to wrap up before we decided to head off back to Tempest, using my teleportation ability for convenience. 

We emerged in the main Government Building of Tempest, the workers throughout gazing at me with excitement and wonder. I didn't know what they were gawking at, but it had them enraptured whatever it was. Ignoring these looks from passers-by I strut up to the main meeting room doors and slammed them open, gazing out over everyone present. Benimaru, Hakuro, Shuna, Milim, Rimuru, Shizu, Geld and Luminous all stood up immediately.

"Silviana...? Wh- What has happened to your eyes!?" Shuna was the first to ask openly as Milim was the next to tune in, echoing her 'sister's' question. 

Benimaru and Hakuro looked at one another, smiling wider as Luminous frowned heavily. Her mood had soured since I had walked in, her eyes glowing slightly ominously. Geld was all smiles, clapping as he stood and bowed to me. Rimuru looked relieved, black bags under his eyes showing me how hard he had worked to make up for my absence. Shizu was her usual self, calm, collected and passive.

My wives quickly ran up to me, despite them not knowing they were my wives yet. Milim gave me a deep hug, hanging off of my neck, whilst Shuna snuggled into me for a few moments; eventually breaking it to take a step backwards.

"My eyes have been healed. I have spent a very long time healing them, learning from my own power and stabilizing it. Now, I am ready to step up and take leadership once again. Rimuru...?"

"Gladly, take it. I'll be here to support anything you need."

Smiling and nodding at him, he looked utterly relieved. Ciel stepped out from behind him and massaged his shoulders whilst looking competitively at Shizu, who seemed unphased. 

"Are we sure you are who you say you are?" Luminous voiced this...

"Bitch, if I need to throttle you to teach you manners in someone else's nation then I can donate that to you..."

She cracked her neck for a few moments until I flashed my aura. Now with my marriage to the Raven Queen I had apparently gained some form of tie with the rhythm of death within this world once more... Reason I knew this? Simple, my aura was coloured with a void-like blackness that literally screamed pure death at anyone gazing at it. I swear I could even see the white porcelain mask of my wifey, a finger extending up to the mask's lips as if in a quieting motion. 

"I just had to be sure..."

"Sure. Now, I have some immediate things for Tempest to work towards..."

From there I told them of the trade treaty we had already made with the continent of Tal'dorei and the nation of the Ashari. After explaining my plans to meet more figures soon I moved onto construction plans and efforts that we were going to progress towards... 

My first proposal was the creation of a nation-wide energy grid. The idea was to implement a wireless and omnipresent electric charge to the entire nation through sophisticated magical relays placed in each city's centre. This energy grid would have to be powered and the positive thing about our resource trees was that materials were not a problem. 

The University on the Island above, the name being changed from my originally complex name to a simple: Elysium... had produced many skilled workers and scientists. This change came after a request from the people, a simple but effective change that saw its use in society skyrocket to a household name. From these skilled members of society there was already change being fostered.

Several people had begun to work on creating cars, some more ambitiously searching for ways to create mag-lev train systems. Private industry was booming and there had never been so much work before for the average person in society. Entrepreneurs had started to spread into all fields, an economic boom of ingenuity that would guide my efforts even further and perhaps expand way beyond what I was planning...

With these entrepreneurs and skilled citizens we would create Fusion Power. The goal of sustainable electricity would be met with this technology and, if we are able to create it, it would launch our civilisation into the Modern/Future Era. I explained the basics of Fusion power, essentially utilizing the unification of two molecules at extreme pressures and temperatures to generate obscene amounts of energy. Trust me, the explanation was much more complicated, but I could even see those in the room with me have their eyes glaze over.

From this point I then spoke about the creation of ten cities throughout Jura that would take strain away from the capital and make way for more intriguing businesses based around subcultures of Tempest. There was some opposition here from Benimaru, on the grounds of expanding ourselves too thinly in a new world. However, after explaining to him the need to set up a defensive network around the Jura Forest and that these cities could be a precursor to that, he let up and decided to just go with the idea.

Geld was ecstatic as it meant his people would get more work and he could flex his political base more. It seemed that people were competing for positions now and ensuring that you were seen to be helping society was of maximum import. Besides them the rest were nodding along, seeing benefits in the plan and the possible avenues for growth that this presented. Of course some issues with drainage, sanitary, health, food, water and shelter concerns emerged but I comprehensively shut down each argument against, proposing easy solutions that leaned heavily onto the resource trees once again and the need for people to earn money.

Then came my idea to create the Internet. Rimuru was immediately in support of this, a lust-filled smile appearing on his face as Shizu stared at him judgingly. He was definitely thinking of elves again... Anyway... My idea was simple, I would start by introducing the basic machinery to manufacture chips and complex computing parts. Then, I would distribute the information of how to create said things to people using my Voidfire Infinite Mind's ability to share information mentally. Aside from that I would data-dump into certain people, with high proclivities for programming, the entire C++ Language, Python Language and Java Language, as well as the knowledge on how to create the engines for these languages on computers. You get the idea? Essentially I will choose people of a certain grade or above in Elysium to receive this information and have them quickly create them, providing Government grants and support for them to do so. First came the power grid and energy production though.

...

Later that day...

Explaining my entire plan and setting the course for what was going to happen for the next period of time, we all eventually left for home. Milim and Shuna walking beside me quietly, holding my hand and just enjoying the simple act of being with each other. 

Getting home after ten minutes of this quiet we all slumped onto the couch in the living room. We settled down and juts hugged for a while until Milim finally spoke up.

"Honey! You should see your eyes!!! They are super duper crazy!" Her excitement broke the atmosphere and brought a chuckle to my throat, her eyes blinking several times a second as she bopped her head side to side. Shuna rolled her eyes but began nodding, her own pink eyes gleaming beautifully in the faint moonlight that peaked through from Catha. 

"Fine! Fine! I'll have a look at my eyes...!" Milim jumped up and grabbed a mirror, hiding it behind her.

"You sure...???"

"Yes! Just show me."

With an evil giggle she revealed the mirror, which unveiled the state of my eyes. My eyes were like a kaleidoscope of blue. Lightning darted between different fractals of my sclera as my Iris looked like one of Nikola Teslas' Tesla Coils. Beyond even that, the space between those flashes of light looked as if broken glass, shattered into pieces before reforming in a constant looping moment of time. Blue essence latticed my entire vision centre, as liquid droplets of the Blue essence dropped into it constantly, vaporising into the flow of essence at a steady pace.

"Whoa, that looks different..."

"That's it!? Seriously!? Just a 'Whoa'...?" Milim looked disappointed as her she spoke, her face scrunching into a pouty expression.

"I mean, I once had draconic eyes, now I have magic blue eyes... Kinda anti-climactic after a certain point."

"MMmmm, no fun!"

I shrugged before placing the mirror down and setting my Shadow Clones off to practice Blacksmithing for me. My plan for that goal was to just spam it with unreasonable amounts of materials and Earth-knowledge. Eventually I will learn how to forge proficiently with scientific knowledge, then magic can be combined in after the fact. 

Besides that task I also had another half of my Shadow Clones go and cultivate for me, exploring my concepts fully and expanding upon their bases. Consumption, Shadow, Darkness, Death, Magic, Technology and Yin and Yang were my main focusses for now. Every other aspect getting one or two dedicated to them. With the final ten Shadow Clones left, my only goal left was to read the books I had just received from completing my missions, namely: Records of Avalir, Records of Aeor, Information on the moon of Ruidus. Additionally, the rest went and planted the Nth metal trees in the garden on Elysium. 

"I am sorry honey, look, here... How about this..." Her ears perked up as she was pouting away from me now, her expectations heightening with my words as Shuna gaped openly.

"Although I have no rings yet, I would like to have both of your hands in marriage... Alongside Liliana, who you have met..."

"YES!!!!!!"

"YEP, YEP, YEP, YEP, SUPER DUPER, YEP!!!!" 

My two women screamed in delight as they ran up to me and tackled me to the ground. They were so happy that tears streamed down both of their faces, Milim's eyes turning fully Draconic as a rune etched itself onto her back... A raven spreading its wings below a dragon with Norse runes crowning those two images. In an instant a deep connection tethered with my soul.

~Honey?~

~YAY! I found my soulmate!!~

As this moment occurred with Milim a powerful bond formed between me and Shuna also, a rune exactly the same as Milim's appearing on her back at the same time. More tears were shed as her voice entered into our conversation... Then another more sultry voice entered in also, my Raven Queen.

~... So you did have a gift for us... I thought you'd just give a gift to another couple...~

~Love, you know I would never do that without some heavy compensation coming all of your ways... If you want your rings faster, hassle Archy for it, he has been putting me on hold for a while now.~

~Gimme a minute... I gotta go, 'talk' with someone...~

~Kay! Please talk with Shuna and Milim more!~

~Mhm, see you all later... Sisters... Sweetie...~

Her communication cut off as Milim and Shuna were having a private mental conversation, paying attention to what me and Lilia was saying.

~So... You two up for movie night?~

~~ FUCK YES!!!~~
