Chapter 52

Rick can't sit properly in the moving car, shifting from side to side. Ruby was driving and Mira sat beside her in the frot seat. Both of them had a wide smile on their faces. Gone was all the anger that was generated thanks to him. He recalled what had happened few minutes back. He ended up offending them again with his jabbering. He remembered being dragged around by Ruby whith his ear pinched in her hand. Both the sisters ended up spanking his butt red after that. What was embarassing was even Mira took part in his humiliation. He had thought that he might be too grown up now for the sisters to resort to violence. But as evident from his burning butt, he very clearly misjudged them. "I am sure to tell mothers about this just you two wait. You took advantage of me being alone." Despite knowing that Rick was just acting both of them laughed. Seeing him act like this gave a peculiar sense of joy. "Don't be mad Rick, we just had you disciplined a bit." Ruby said. "A bit.. you demoness. You call this a bit." He even pulled his pants down to show his crimson butt to them. Sure enough, they can't control their laughter once again. "Just you two wait ! When I get my hands on you, it will worse than this. Remember that." "I am so scared right now." Ruby teased him again. He puffed his cheeks in annoyance, not willing to engage with them any longer.

They reached the venue after half an hour. They got off from the car to enter the parameters of the temple. Rick refused to walk together with them, instead choosing to follow behind them. Once again the sisters had a good laugh. Ruby was thankful to him for these moments. Mira might not have guessed it but she knew that he was putting all these gimmicks so the sisters could bind together and he was very successful in that. It's been months since she saw Mira laugh and enjoy this much. They entered the large building to find a huge hall inside. People in this world were not overly religious but still there was a large majority that were casual believers in divine. His family was among them too. Not too much involved in the workings of the temple but engaging themselves in some festivals and ceremonies. The inside of the building was huge. The hall itself was hundreds of metres in dimensions. Only other thing in the middle was a absolutely massive statue of the goddess. Rick can't put his hands on it but her looks felt very similar to Rose. Two large wings were attached to her back while there was a metal helmet covering half of her face, including her eyes. Her white dress covered her left leg while leaving her right leg completely exposed, with two belts around her right thigh. She had another belt in her neck and a set of two large tits hung on her chest proudly. Whoever carved this took full care not to hide the goddess's private parts. Her breasts and pussy lips were exposed.

With her mesmerizing face she looked just like a sister of Rose. There were multiple similarities. First were her only two big tits same number as on his captured Angel. Secondly, both of them were practically naked even with all the clothes they wore, specifically choosing to let their privates in open. At last, the most intriguing was that the statue too had her eyes covered. Rose had told him that to reach immortality she had to give up on her vision. 'Doesn't that mean that the goddess these guys are worshiping is just another angel?' He didn't have to wait long for the clarification. 'That is Archangel Dyana. She is believed to be one of the most powerful beings in this world.' Rose might have woken up from her meditation as she took the time to explain him. 'I can sense her divine presence from the statue. That means she is still be alive somewhere.' Rick sent his own mental transmission to her asking 'You can tell all this with only a statue?' 'That is not a random statue. It's been blessed by Dyana herself and she left her divine presence here.' Rick was expectedly amazed at all this new information. 'Since you call herself an Angel and her an Archangel, then should I assume that she is even more powerful than you?' 'Of course! She is the epitome of cultivation among our species.' 'Then what is her level. She can't only be an immortal.' Surprisingly, the answer came in negative. 'No idea. No one knows what lies beyond the Immortal level. You can only know it by reaching it. Since those who can surpass this realm are exceedingly rare, that means the knowledge remains in the hands of few who see no benefit in sharing it with anyone.'

He thought it made sense. Why would someone who had already reached that realm share it with anyone? Won't that only create more competitors for them? Apart from that he didn't believe that the human relationships mattered much for them. They might have even outlived all thier relatives. He had many more questions for Rose but before he could put it in words he was interrupted by a loud voice. "You must be Rick, brat?" The trio found a large man walking towards them from the inner chambers of the building. 'Remember not to touch the statue in any condition. We can't risk Dyana sensing me through you.' That was the last transmission from Rose and she might have gone back in meditation as she didn't respond after that. Rick sighed and looked at the man at a large distance from them, walking leisurely towards them. 'What the fuck!!' The guy was in front of them within a maximum of three steps. A powerhouse. That was the first thing Rick thought. There was no other explaination. He didn't see him jump or teleport, rather the guy kept walking but it felt like the ground itself retracted under him, propelling him forward. Long black hair and a tall build. The guy fits in the discription of Hina's husband. He bowed his head in greetings. "Junior greets senior!" The man looked impressed with his manners "Haha good, good. Hina truly selected a good kid."

Rick introduced him to his sisters and Grand brought them to the pedestal of the statue. Grand was one of the most powerful adventurer of the empire. Adventurers are the lot who ventured in the unknown in search of fortunes. Although their jobs varied from providing security to doing manual chores, their main task was still organising parties into the jungles of the south. They mostly hunted down demon beasts for their beast soul, which were always in big demand. That was the limit of his knowledge about them. Grand was truly a amiable man. Rick had thought that the man might be arrogant, from his first impression but he proved him wrong. He easily made blended himself among the siblings, even joking from time to time. "So, Rick tell me how did all this started between you two? I mean Hina and you. Also, how did that crazy too got interested in you?" He must be talking about Lily. Considering how close Hina and Lily were to each other, it was no big deal if they knew each other. He took his time explaining how the three of them close to each other. He conveniently left out the parts that need to be said. "We will take a look around, you both can talk to each other." Ruby smiled and pulled Mira away from them. "Yeah, if you can be kind enough to inform Miss priestess about Rick's arrival." Grand directed them towards the chambers of the head priestess. Mira understood that her sister must have wanted to give both of them some space to talk thus she kept her mouth close.

"To tell you the truth Rick I am very happy today." Rick joked "Shouldn't I be the one who should be the happiest?" "Hahaha You are a funny lad. Well you are right too. But remember that you will be held accountable for their happiness when I am not around them. That is a big responsibility brat." Both of them had already build a good rapport with each other with just the few minutes of talk. "I am still so young, you can take care of the responsibilities. I can promise to take care of her fleshly needs." "Haha I sure want to spank you right now. But anyhow considering it's your big day. I don't want Hina to bother me about it for weeks to come. So consider yourself lucky." Rick didn't feel like he was talking to some amazing guy. "That has nothing to do with luck. That is my own capability to hang onto the thighs of pretty ladies. Hehe" "I guess you can say that." He can see that the man's expression had now turned serious so he too quit his jesting. "I am happy that Hina chose someone herself. I have not been able to give her the attention she required due to the nature of my work. Hina had always been supportive wife till she was the only one being affected. But now that we have a daughter to take care off my constant lack of presence had become a bone of contention in our mairrage. If she had not chosen you, I might have offered to look for another husband for her. Huh.. why am I even talking about all these important matters with a brat like you."

"Oii.. old man that is kinda disrespectful. You should call me younger brother." "Haha you wish brat!" Their constant banter was put to a rest by a mystical voice. "So this little brother will be our groom for the day?" Rick saw a mature lady approaching them followed by his sisters. Assuming that she must be the priestess, Grand talked about Rick gawked at her appearance. 'Yeah, taking into account their goddess, why am I even surprised.' The lady was dressed in white attire from head to toe, covering all of her body except her face and her privates. Those 4 large melons swayed from side to side with her walk. Those were some truly heavy weight tities he had seen. She must have the largest chest among his all his milfs. Her face was easily comparable to Agnes and Elmir. He was enjoying the show her nipples were putting when Grand pressed his head down "That's the high priestess kid. Show some respect." Rick realised his mistake, quickly greeting her with proper etiquette. "Respects, to Miss high priestess." The lady giggled lightly looking at the scene these two air heads were presenting. "Nice to meet you young man." From his position Rick could see the puffy lips of the priestess's vagina and he was happy that he took precautions, fucking Ruby in the morning. Else, his cock might have put on a show in front of everyone.

Unsure how this virgin priestess will react he quickly averted his eyes. He had know from the previous Rick's memories that these nuns didn't marry ever in their life, rather devoting their lives to the divine. "I sincerely thank madam Hestia to preside over this wedding." "It's not a big deal master Grand. You have been a perpetual source of help for us. This lady had to show her appreciation somehow." The older guys were engaged in conversation so Rick quietly snuck past them, taking his seat beside his sisters in the audiences' chairs. "How long will all this take? I am already bored." He asked Ruby. "Not sure. Usually it is only an affair of an hour or so. But since the high priestess herself is involved, I can't tell." Rick nodded and waited patiently for his brides to arrive. He didn't want to talk much with them since they had no privacy in the presence of such high level cultivators. Instead he decided to appraise the statue of the goddess. He just hoped that these wedding customs did not involve touching the statue in anyway lest he is put in a difficult situation. "Looks like our guests have arrived hahaha" Suddenly Grand exclaimed waking Rick from his reverie. He turned back to see a tall woman walking towards them, being followed by three other girls.

He knew all of them. Agnes was the one who had arrived along with his three girlfriends. Looks like Agnes was already familiar with both of them as both parties greeted each other and began chatting with each other, while his girls sat beside him. Maria had taken the seat beside him making Monica fume, she went a step further and sat in Rick's lap itself making everyone laugh. Stella was cool as a cucumber as always and she had no problem sitting away from him. His sisters and girls had not interacted much prior but it didn't took much long for them to begin chit-chatting with each other about girly things effective cutting Rick off from the conversation. He smiled wryly and vacated his seat for Monica while he moved and sat beside Stella. "I was not even sure if you would attend." She tilted her head to the side looking confused "Why wouldn't I attend?" Rick was put in a tight spot by her innocent question "ahemm.. I felt like you would be busy cultivating or something." She nodded in understanding "Ohh.. yes you are right about that actually. I would have choosen to ignore if it had been anyone else. How will we grow closer if I don't even spare some time for your important days." Somehow, these words coming from her didn't sound too romantic but Rick was aware that she was inherently like this only. He kissed her cheeks lightly, only saying a "thanks". For the first few minutes she could not react to what happened. Once the realisation struck, her face turned red.

Agnes didn't spare anytime for him. But then it made sense. For everyone knowing her he was only her student and the reason she had come here was not for Rick but for her colleagues who were getting married. It wasn't long before the brides arrived and everyone except Rick went outside the building to escort them in. To his surprise even Stella followed behind Maira and Monica. This girl was trying to not be a misfit here. Presumably she must already know that she was not very apt on human relationships, thus aiming to improve. The atmosphere became stressed when he was left alone with the high priestess. He decided to wait it out but the priestess herself initiated the conversation. "So, you too can sense the divine presence our goddess left in the statue?" He was taken aback by her question. How did she noticed that? Did he give himself away just by looking at it? "I am not sure about it ma'am. Only thing I know is that there is something abnormal about the statue. That's it." He can't lie now, so he tried to salvage the situation. A wide smile displayed itself on her face "You are a few of the lucky ones who have this talent. You surprised me, kid. That what you sensing is called a divine presence that can be left behind but the divine beings that allows their followers to establish a contact with them." Rick made a face of awe "Ohhh.. Is the goddess real?" He regretted asking this. Wasn't this pure blasphemy? What if she turned out to be a religious nutjob?

It was too late for regrets and Rick sighed in relief, when a bell like laughter rang from the priestess. He needs to be careful about these things going forward. "Of course she is real kiddo. Why else do you think we worship her?" She didn't mind his question. "And what do you aim to gain from that, if I may ask?" He chose his words safely this time around. Maintain his gaze on her face. He would retract if he saw as much as a frown on her face. "I see that you are curious. Most of us do it for the peace of mind but a few of us do it for a breakthrough in our cultivations." "I can understand the peace of mind. But how would the goddess help one out in their cultivation?" Hestia laughed again "That is a trade secret kid hehe. We are not supposed to leak that but just to put your curiosity to rest let's say that there is the divine presence for a reason. Now let's welcome your brides." Rick had his own doubts regarding the presence in the statue. He might need to ask about it when Rose wakes up next time. For now, he had a wedding to take care off. He stood up and took his place next to the priestess. His mind snapped when he saw the scene at the entrance. If his brain was functioning well then he could see three, not two brides.

Two of them were the ones he had expected but the third one with her signature horns on her head was the one who astonished him. It was Helen, his cultivation teacher. 'I should have known.' he wanted to face palm himself. There was another thing that stunned him even more that an addition to the number of wives. All three of them were walking on four of their limbs like a dog. They had collars in their neck with chains attached to it. There was a little girl at the front who was holding onto all their chains, pulling them with a toothy grin on her face. It was April who was tasked with handing the brides over to Rick. Everyone else was walking behind these 4 ladies. What's more the brides were wearing a fishnets instead of the proper clothes. The net was covering their entire body with only four cut outs for their boobs to hang down without any obstructions. A white veil hid their faces as they travelled the distance to pedestal. Rick didn't have much knowledge about the customs of this world but he was sure that it definitely does not include all these things. But why would he care about all of that. For him there was no better way to marry his brides. "I have never seen such peculiar types of practices." Even Hestia can't wrap her head around all the happenings. Rick smiled as April stood against him holding onto the chains "Are you ready for it father?" "Of course go on ahead." Rock smiled and April pulled up the veils of each bride one after the other revealing their enchanting faces to everyone present.
