SON OF THE HERO KING

After dealing with the dwarves through his ｢Karma Severing｣ Sol stopped caring about them altogether.

This should be more than enough for a lesson and if the crown prince or whoever incited this event dared to act again against the people he cared about then Sol would not be so merciful.

He wouldn't just stop at a dozen dwarves. After all, if he truly wanted, exterminating all the nobles of Greed Dike wouldn't be hard. The amount of backlash he would receive from manipulating the causality of such weak people would only cause him minor stress. Nothing more.

Right now, he was more focused on one important fact.

“So, what have you been doing while you fled from me?” He asked, a teasing note in his voice.

Sol chuckled as he held Lilith’s hand. His relationship with Lilith was… complicated, to say the least.

Lilith was a creation of his grandfather, Neptune. She had been destined to be a tool to serve the royal family and a way for him to eventually create the perfect being.

She was once nothing but a failed experiment. A homunculus with a limited lifespan.

Now though, thanks to Sol’s power, she was her own individual and the first of a completely new race.

“Well…” Lilith groaned to herself at the query. Knowing fully well that she did not have any excuses for that. But it wasn't as if she had really just been fleeing from her cheeky nephew.

“I have been thinking about my new race and the advantage it could give me. I was also reading the Seven Chakra Opening sutra.”

“Is that so?” Sol became slightly intrigued. He couldn't even say exactly what Lilith was at the moment.

What he knew was that using his blood as the basis, Lilith should be some sort of a dragon. But she did not seem to have the advantage of the Chaos Dragons at the very least.

“Can you transform?” He asked.

“Partially.” She waved her hand and it transformed into claws. “I think I should be able to transform into something equivalent to your War Form with some adequate training. This should get rid of my greatest weakness.”

Lilith always had a body weaker than others on her power level. Though that was not exactly the case any longer, the fact remained that her body needed to be more outstanding to stand against her foes. If she could transform, however… she would have the greatest form of defense alongside the greatest attack power.

Sol shuddered just thinking about it alongside her absolute sword techniques. She was truly becoming an absolute monster.

“So, outside of that, what about any special talents?” All magical races had talents. Be it elemental power or special innate skills.

“I think… my concept of Severance is slowly attuning itself with my blood.”

This was another surprise for him. Concepts could not be shared. Sol's children would never possess the power of Balance, Origin, or End simply because of his blood.

Though they had a high chance of being chaos dragons.

But if Lilith's power was integrating with her bloodline, as she claimed, then her children would be true monsters as well.

Is it because I was more attuned to the End when healing her?

She was a box full of mystery and wonder.

“Well, I guess our children will be very talented.” Sol said nonchalantly, causing Lilith to choke on her spit, quite literally.

She opened her mouth to protest but, looking at the amused glint in his eyes, she could not help but sputter. Ultimately, she bowed to hide her extremely reddened face, unable to speak anything in the end.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

“Perhaps.” She whispered in a low voice. Her stomach felt tight and her heartbeat thumped violently against her chest even though she was not engaged in mortal combat.

Those were novel feelings, feelings she had not felt in so long. At the same time, another feeling of joy filled her heart.

Children.

After getting Lilin, Lilith had never really thought about the prospects of children. It was simply impossible for an abomination created from the amalgam of so many different DNA combinations to give birth naturally.

Lilin was a miracle bestowed on her by the monster that was her creator.

She did not particularly crave motherhood. But there was a large difference between not wishing to have children and being unable to because of their birth.

“Anyway,” She intoned, wishing to change the track of their conversation, “The power of Severance is coursing through my blood. So I guess I should be called a Severing Dragon?”

She was joking but Sol found the topic extremely interesting. If Kali was present he was sure that she would be bursting with excitement, trying to come up with a name.

“Well, I think Dragon of the End sounds pretty cool too. But it's a mouthful and sounds more like a title than a whole race.” He mused, “In fact, are you even a dragon? Technically you are closer to a superior version of a human. The cool transformation is just a bonus. Homo Superior?”

Lilith listened with a bemused smile as Sol excitedly started listing off different names for her race.

She found many of them pretty funny or exaggerated to no end. Yet she did not stop him.

His earlier display of power had made Sol feel very distant for a very short moment, but distant nonetheless. It was as if he was becoming completely different from the regular Sol. This was a feeling she had for quite some time now.

She feared that he would slowly become nothing but an emotionless god, looking down on the world and them as well. Impartial in his feelings for all creation.

But moments like these made her realize that though Sol may change and grow beyond her wildest imagination, at his core, he would always be the same loving man who was willing to kneel before anyone to save his loved ones.

She could not give a clear label to what she felt for him at the moment. But, she thought spending the rest of her life with such a man would be an enjoyable experience.

“There is no need to find a name for now. It is not like it's particularly important at the moment.” Lilith suggested to Sol. She knew names had power. So she wished to think about the perfect name for her race or at least one that she felt adequate.

“Very well.” Sol did not insist. He doubted they would find a good name now even if they tried.

“Speaking of, there is one promise I made to myself as well, back when you were training me.” Sol stopped rattling names and muttered loud enough for her to hear.

“What promise?” She laughed sheepishly. She had been quite harsh when she trained Sol after his awakening. But there was nothing she could do. His coming-of-age ceremony was close and they needed a crash course with him crashing head-first against her blade.

“Well…” Sol gave a devilish grin as he leaned down and muttered in her ears, “I promised that one day when I became strong enough, I would spank you as revenge.”

This time, Lilith was unable to hide the reddening of her face. She was not so naive that she did not understand the innuendos.

As she was about to react, her eyes widened as she felt Sol’s face approach her. She was a half-step demigod. Her processing abilities were beyond what any human could ever hope to imagine.

But as his lips and hers finally touched, all she could feel was pure blankness. She was unable to fully understand the situation or react for that matter.

“Don't make me wait too long, okay?” It was only after Sol muttered those words while parting with her lips that she finally came to her senses.

“I have something to do!” Lilith said and immediately jumped on a projected sword before flying away at full speed.

Sol cackled out loud as he watched her run once again. It seemed like the kiss had been too shocking for the poor woman.

Lilith was becoming very cute. The gap between her past and current self was simply incredible.

She is not ready yet.

Sol was in no hurry. They were building the foundation towards a new relationship. This sweet and fresh feeling was something to cherish and enjoy.

For now, I need to go meet Pandora.

A sad smile formed on his face. Lilith had not been the only one to run away.

His relationship with Pandora was so barebones that even the relationship with the maids he had random hookups with was more fleshed 0ut.

This was a relationship born out of pure profit and interest. One made because he thought he was not strong enough.

I don't need such a relationship anymore.

Turning around, he started walking towards the Tower.

Since Pandora would share life with him, he would make sure to bring her happiness.
