My Upgrades Are Invincible - Chapter 118 Hestia Pov
Even as Hestia stood there blankly staring at the blushing form her best friend for countless years. She merely had one thought at the moment.
‘So, Jake can be a bit petty.’ Hestia thought wryly as Hephaestus explained how Jake met and surpassed her expectations in item creation and then she was able to feel the soul forming within herself.
Obviously from Jake stuffing dough into Hephaestus’s forge…
No matter if it’s a death goddess or one of childbirth or had any other domain, no matter what every goddess can feel the foreign soul forming within themselves and knew intrinsically that it was a brand-new soul not tainted having gone through reincarnation countless times.
Which suited our divine pride as the children would be wholly ours to mold within our womb naturally.
“So let me get this straight… You liked his sword, so much that you decided you would let him bury his meat sword into your forge…” Hestia deadpanned before continuing as Tsubaki the captain of the Hephaestus cackled madly. “Not only that but it was literally the second time you two even met… Hephaestus you need to self-reflect as Freya at least stalked Jake for a couple months before I got Jake to knock her up.” She prodded at Hephaestus, but she honestly wasn’t mad or even disappointed.
Truthfully, she will love having Hephaestus around more and honestly, she did bear a tiny little grudge against her for basically throwing her out when she came down here to Orario from Tenkai. No even if she was hopelessly mooching off Hephaestus at the time, she should have at least given a warning of some kind before throwing me out on my, as Jake calls it divine tushy.
So even if Jake did this as a way to get snipe back at her for getting Freya pregnant without his consent or awareness…
“Honestly in our Pantheon it’s almost a casual greeting for someone to be impregnated so it’s no loss. Plus, I can finally take a couple years off to work on my own stuff and not worry about the stupid adventurer’s breaking their gear every other month. Hephaestus said shrugging and making Tsubaki pale as she realized most likely she was going to have a great amount of work dropped on her.
Hestia could only nod to Hephaestus’s words as back in Tenkai and even here in Genkai when the gods would send spirits and even possess animals to muck a about with the mortals living around. They were never able to get any mortal pregnant other than creating monstrous abominations when some idiots tried to fuck the animals and monsters.
She could never look at Poseiden the same after hearing how he became a horse to mate with a group of wandering monster fishes and made some weird sea horse thing over the course of a single insane orgy…
“So where is Jake now anyways?” Tsubaki asked and then continued with an afterthought. “Also, Hephaestus why did you lie about needing to work instead of cuddling with him?”
Hephaestus rolled her eyes as she snarked. “I may be shameless but even I thought it best to at least inform my best friend that her man impregnated me when even she hasn’t done that. Speaking of which, Hestia why weren’t you the first pregnant in the first place?”
Hestia smiled light as she explained her feelings. “Honesty Hephaestus, I want our Familia to be nice and strong before I worry about children plus with all the new members Jake has brought back to settle in, I am kinda swamped as a good number of them need help to adjust to Orario and frankly just to chill out.”
Hestia could only grimace at how the gods had abandoned that world Jake called Demon Slayer with only leaving a barebones reincarnation system that didnt even scrub the DNA of the souls from looking like their past selves not to mention how there were literal demons running around taking power from the moon.
‘Artemis and all the other moon deity’s would have purged the whole race of those abominations even at the cost of being sealed within Tenkai for a few million years at how disgusting there souls felt.’ Hestia thought shivering as she remembered the massive battle between the Hashira and the demons, not to mention the sheer tainted malice that the demon king Muzan carried.
Makes perfect sense Jake got a skill for killing him honestly as it was feat worthy of a couple level ups to her divine senses, but Jake wanted to fill out his stats for each level to build the best foundation.
“Oh so Jake went on another of his mysterious journeys to another world?” Hephaestus asked making Hestia freeze in shock.
Hephaestus just laughed as she shook her head. “You may have the Loki Familia by the balls but one of her lower ranked members died in the dungeon and his soul was scanned in the afterlife in Tenkai and although the Loki members can’t say anything in this life…”
“Ugh…” Hestia groaned as she easily was able to guess what happened. “Let me guess Hermes went up to do his messenger nonsense and then when he learned about it and being the gossiping loud mouth that he is, it made its way into the ears of all the gods within a couple hours back here in Orario.”
“Hestia you need to be careful as a number of gods are appealing to Ouranos to have Jake take them to other worlds in hopes of gathering either people for their own Familia’s or appealing to Ouranos to make Jake attempt to drag the One-Eyed Black Dragon into another world even if it would obviously lead to his death.”
Hestia’s fist clenched and a stifling pressure fell upon the room as she could all to easily see that happening and worse Ouranos wouldn’t give a damn about Jake dying in the attempt as it really wouldn’t be a loss as in his mind, he would expect Jake to reincarnated in a few millennium
or whatever to attempt again somehow.
No… She wouldn’t allow Jake to throw his life away in some vain attempt to kill that monster as even with dozens of ranking spirits sacrificing’s their lives to open a gateway to Tenkai and allow gods from Tenkai to bombard the beast which worked on another calamity like monster.
The dragon just shredded space and teleported several kingdoms away and laid waste to a dozen neighboring kingdoms of mortals in retaliation.
“That will not happen… I will burn down Ouranos’s little pet project of Orario to ashes and our battle will scar the dungeon for countless years so no monsters will be able to bypass the ruins of the dungeon.” Hestia snarled making Hephaestus swallow at the feeling of Hestia’s primordial Arcanum rolling as Hestia was one of the first-born gods just after the Creation Class Deity’s like Tiamat and Ouranos, but her flame domain made her perfectly capable of burning the universe creating abilities of the higher ranked gods so even if Hestia had zero interest in fighting.
Woe be to anyone who attempted to force Hestia into anything as the gods who thought they could force themselves upon Hestia back in Tenkai could contest after being burned into nonexistence.
“Just be sure to warn Jake so he isn’t caught by surprise as Aphrodite swore publicly that she will steal him from you.” Hephaestus said but even she laughed at the thought as although Aphrodite was extremely beautiful even Hephaestus had noticed how all the woman who supposedly laid with Jake had decent sized breasts whereas that goddess was flat as a board.
Hearing those words Hestia could only laugh and her anger dissipated. “Heh more life Jake will take one look at that flat chested Aphrodite and say he needs to tits to play with or something.” Hestia snickered as she mentally went over the times Jake played with her breasts and seemed to think it was her best feature.
“Yeah, but Jake is more of an ass man though with how much he spanked mine and mauled it.” Hephaestus said proudly with Tsubaki going over to talk to Gyomei in the back hearing the kids talking loudly.
“Hell no he loves breasts the most!” Hestia cried out as although she knew Jake loved her soft and plush bottom he did spend more time playing with said breasts and having her use said breasts to his enjoyment.
“Nope he is all about the butt.” Hephaestus grinned while slapping her thigh grinning.
Their argument about whether Jake preferred which part was a long drawn out one and they even considered making a competition out of it to see which one he likes more but the children’s noise coming from the backyard made them end the conversation in case it should reach their ears.
“Anyway, were is Jake anyway?” Hephaestus asked curiously as they gingerly drank the fused drinks Jake brought back from Demon Slayer.
Hestia grinned perversely as she snorted. “Oh, I sent him to meet with Demeter and there’s some drama with Inari that needs to be ironed out as she is making moves on a Renard Jake has taken in.” More like Jake’s adoring concubine with how earnestly that Fox sucks up to and worships the ground Jake walks on.
“Oh, that brat is going to hammer than bimbo Demeter isn’t he.” Hephaestus guffawed as she chugged a small bottle of sake.
“Yup probably after talking to Inari if he already slept with you today.” Hestia shrugged as she felt Jake was more likely going to take care of anything unpleasant before he unwinds to something certainly more pleasurable according to what she knew of his personality.
Hephaestus nodded in understand as she giggled obviously slightly drunk.” Well, here’s to the talks going over smoothly.” The forge goddess cheered raising up another bottle of sake.
Hestia met the cheer with her own glass of wine. “Yeah, to good talks. It will be just fine though Jake knows how to deal with people so it will be just fine…”
