THE CURSED GAMER - Chapter 491: 491: Baby Making, But What is This?
Chapter 491: Baby Making, But What is This?
—
Void represented not only darkness or shadow but the lack of reality as a whole. So actions such as teleportation and spatial travel could be even more sped up. Neji already had an insane level of control over Void from mastering his class, but now it was even stronger.
To test out just how better he was, he sped up Kimi’s teleportation bubble to a degree that it reappeared back inside the Dreamweaver’s Fortress in under an instant. They had taken a couple of minutes to get to the battlefield earlier, as the distance was hyperverses far, so even Kimi’s unbelievably powerful spells could not do it in an instant.
However, now Neji could.
After he had gained his Celestialsapien powers, his growth rate was unmatched indeed. With the 3786 levels he gained just earlier, he stood at Level 54319.

===
He was so rich in stats that he could let 286,290 stat points lay around. He also had to choose two new Classes, but he hadn’t found ones worth it yet.
Oh, and his Luck was still overloaded.
Neji wondered just how much of his achievements these past two years were because of that.
Whatever the case, he was back in the base. The mission was a success.
“Can’t believe we did it so easily!” Lady Life cheered, throwing a fist in the air. Her earlier expression of uncertainty and regret when Neji killed Oblivion hadn’t been missed by him, so he was happy seeing her cheer up from it this quickly.
“It was a sight, indeed,” Kimi nodded. “I felt it in the air last time when you killed Maestro Myth, but it’s something else to actually see it.” She walked closer to him and put her arms around his neck, pressing her chest against his. “But do you feel any different? Mentally, I mean. Or anything negative in general?”
“I’m touched that you’re worried, but I am fine,” he held her waist.
She smiled, “You can’t be ‘touched’ just by this, wait will we reach the bedroom~”
“Oh come on, not now, we have other plans to execute,” he squeezed her waist while she let out a soft moan, letting him enjoy the sound of it.
“Right,” she said. “Contessa Fate now, right? We’ve had a few encounters in the past, and in combat, she’s pretty weak. So I don’t doubt I’ll need assistance to capture and enslave her. I’ll leave right away, it might take me a few days or weeks to return, this isn’t a simple kill mission after all.”
“Hey, do you know what this reminds me of?” he asked her. “Back in the Hero world, we captured Toga and you tortured her into submission in my stead. Remember?”
“No way you remember it,” she gave him a grin as if it was more surprising that he knew incidents that only happened a couple of years ago for him, while for her it had been eons. “I remember them too, it was fun. I doubt I can make Fate as loyal as Toga though, that’ll be up to your charisma after I bring her here.”
The plan was to bring Contessa Fate here and make her cooperate. Someone with the ability to look into threads of fate was required in their ranks to seamlessly execute their plans, and who’s better at that job if not the Personification of Destiny herself?
Kill would capture her, and take other procedures that’d be enough to make her cooperate with them. The other reason for her presence was to fulfill the future where Fate would be in love with the First Gamer; as long as she’d work with them, it’s only a matter of time before Neji would get into her pants, after all.
“Well then,” Kimi pressed her lips against his; although he was much taller than what he used to be, she still didn’t need to tip-toe for that, she too was taller than her 6″1 self that he remembered in the past. She smiled, “Don’t miss me too much.”
She stepped back and snapped her fingers, her finger-bones acting as a wand, as a spell was cast in an instant and she slipped into a wave of light.
“You look really happy when you’re around her,” Lady Life said with a smile, making him pull her closer to him. “Don’t worry, I am not jealous. I’m happy too.”
“I’m glad,” he pulled her head to his chest. “Hey, Life…. while we wait for her and Godmother to return, wanna make a baby?”
“….”
* * *
Neji and Lady Life were sitting on the couch a few days later. Life rested her head on his lap, as he rubbed her tummy with a complicated look on his face.
“We now know for certain it’s possible.” Neji said, “But I wish… you didn’t end up pregnant just yet.”
He wasn’t sure how to deal with a kid in this situation. He’d rather have waited.
On top of that, he didn’t want to actually impregnate her for another, more important reason. This wasn’t good.
“It’s alright,” she nudged her face close to his abdomen with a giggle. “I’ll only give birth when it’s safe. The baby can rest for now. I’m happy.”
Indeed, her wish had come true. Abstracts could not bear children, Lady Life despite being the embodiment of life and birth wasn’t any exception from that rule. Yet, that rule had just been broken by Neji and her shared will to work together. She was pregnant.
As the representation of Life, she didn’t have any reason to wait nine months. But at the same time considering their situation with the war and their status as omniversal criminals, she didn’t have any reason to give birth right now either.
Neji wondered how this child’s existence would work out with the Life Golem he met in the future. During the conceiving period, Neji created the core of a God Tree and used all of its energy to make the baby, so that it ended up with the same powers and appearance as the Life Golem. It should work just like that. However, he was still unsure how it’d work in the end when the fateful ‘overlap’ between two possibilities would happen.
Neji also had a brooding feeling that the kid wouldn’t be… ‘normal’. For whatever reason, he felt there would be something amiss about the child’s existence. Perhaps he was just being paranoid knowing the Life Golem, but he couldn’t help but worry.
Whatever the case, even though Neji had mixed feelings about this, he was happy to become a father as well.
When the two of them were being lovey-dovey on the couch, one of their allies returned from the outside world. Godmother of all Demons and her daughter, Anodi, teleported inside the living room in a flash of blinding light.
[Godmother of All Demons – Half Human Half Anodite – Class 0]
[Anodi the 27th – Anodite – High Class 1]
Godmother had regained her previous class level, and even Anodi was stronger than before. Anodi had gained more powers after Neji merged her body with the copies of many Anodites, but she hadn’t become Class 1 just then. Now she was, must be something Godmother did to her.
The two of them appeared in the room, facing Neji and Life, and the Godmother immediately frowned. Her eyes focused on Life’s tummy, while Anodi whistled.
As beings made out of pure energy, could they sense the baby inside Life?
Godmother shot him a look, “This wasn’t a good idea. You’re not in any position to have children.”
“Well…” he lacked words.
“Congratulations, for killing Oblivion and having a kid!” On the other hand, Anodi lacked her mother’s disapproval and waved at him.
“Well, whatever,” Godmother sighed. “It does not bother me if you and your people end up dead.”
“What happened has happened,” he shook his head at her. It’s not as if abortion was an option. “Let’s change the topic. It seemsyou have succeeded in your mission, half an Anodite is not bad.”
“…Yes,” she nodded after a short silence. “When is the girl returning?”
By the girl, she meant Kimi.
Before Neji could reply, to all of their surprise, the room lit up. Another streak of light and two more people appeared in the room.
One was Kimi, in her witch dress with her blonde hair dancing in the air, while the other was a red-haired young woman tied and bound by different chains. The latter glared around at all of them, her mouth taped and making her unable to talk, while the former blinked at us.
“Huh?” She looked at Life. “There is no way, you’re pregnant?!” Then she shot Neji a look. “Young master, really?!”
“Uh…” Neji was fearing this. That she’d be mad that he impregnated someone else before her. “Don’t be mad that you weren’t the first, it just happened in the heat of the moment. I swear you’ll be the second-”
“What do you mean, I’m happy!” Kimi’s yell interrupted him, as both he and Life blinked in surprise. Life didn’t show, but she was a little worried too that Kimi would be mad. Kimi ran to Life and crouched down before her tummy. She was smiling at it. “It’s a little embryo, no way.”
Neji smiled. “I’m glad you don’t mind it.”
“It’s fine, of course, why would I mind it? Besides, you got it wrong, I’m the 2nd,” she said and he blinked.
“What do you mean?”
“Hm? You forgot? I am not the second,” she looked up at him and said. “As Lucille, I told you that we have a baby, right?”
“….”
“I wasn’t lying. I’m never the 2nd.”
‘What?’ Neji stared at her in silence as his mind spun. So he had a kid already? Was he/she safe? Did the Prime Gods back in the future know about it?
What did she do to it anyway?
He had a lot of questions to ask.
Thankfully this Kimi wasn’t programmed to hold back any information from him, so she spoke.
