A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer stayed in Emberport for a while, watching the city's roads being rebuilt by his soldiers. He could see the Fire Elves' surprise as they inspected the streets and were happy that their wagons would no longer be stuck.

''Let's go check on Hecate and the other pregnant women,'' he muttered.

Moments later, he teleported back to Draconia, materializing in the grand foyer of his palace. The sudden arrival startled the nearby Imperial Guards, their hands twitching toward their weapons, until they recognized him and relaxed.

Just then, Thalion and two Oathkeepers stepped into view. The trio dropped to one knee in a gesture of respect as he gave a casual wave. ''You can stick around,'' he said. ''I'm planning to stay here for some time.''

Afterward, Archer headed toward Hecate's room while watching the staff going about their business as the guards were stationed all over the place. When he reached the door, the knights standing guard gave him a nod as he knocked.

The sound reverberated faintly, and moments later, the moon elf called out. ''Come in!''

He stepped inside, instantly greeted by a soothing aroma washing over him, easing his tension and relaxing him. Then, her warm, exotic voice filled the air. ''Hello, husband. How have you been?'' she asked, her face lighting up.

''Sorry I haven't come to see you sooner,'' he replied with an apologetic tone. ''I'm always getting sidetracked with other things.''

Hecate's smile widened; she waved him off with a playful giggle. ''After all these years together, do you think I don't know that, my love?''

Archer burst into laughter, unable to resist her charm, then stepped forward to wrap the beautiful woman in a love-filled hug. She softened into his embrace, melting against him with a sparkle in her eyes.

Shortly after, they separated as he gently grabbed her stomach, asking. ''How have you been feeling? Are the babies fine?''

The Moon Elf nodded happily. ''They are fine and growing stronger every day, but I must admit I'm tired all the time as the little girls are greedy for mana.''

Archer crouched down and gently channeled a stream of mana into her stomach. With a loving whisper, he murmured, ''Stop being greedy, you two little gremlins, your Momma's getting too tired, but I'll give you all the energy,'' making the grey-skinned woman beam with delight.

''They can't he...'' she spoke, but the words stopped.

Her red eyes widened in shock as her jaw dropped open, causing him to speak. ''You just felt them, didn't you?''

Hecate shook her head and answered. ''It was a small pulse of mana. I think it was in response to your voice,e husband.''

Archer then lifted her shirt to plant a soft kiss on her stomach, drawing a pretty smile from the moon elf. Moments later, he stole her lips with a passionate kiss, sending a shiver racing down her spine.

Following this, the duo separated as he asked. ''Can I spend some time with you if you're not too tired?''

''Of course, handsome,'' she replied, dragging him toward a nearby table and sat him down, asking. ''Would you like some tea?''

''Yes please,'' he replied. ''How's the Dragonheart Company faring now days?''

Hecate walked over to a counter and started boiling some water as she answered. ''It's blooming all over Draconia and the four islands. The girls and I were talking about expanding to Avidia, but we don't know how the Fire Elves will react. They're a hot-headed race.''

''Well I met one of their princesses, and she seemed like a normal girl to me,'' Archer informed while turning toward the window that was being battered by rain. ''They will love your products and other things your store sells.''

When the Moon Elf heard this her eyes narrowed before questioning. ''Did you happen to take said princess as another member of the harem?''

''No,'' he shook his head. ''The only women I've taken are the ones you girls already know about. Yes, the princess was pretty, but I wasn't interested in her.''

Hecate's eyes widened in surprise before she gently cupped his cheeks, her gaze sweeping over him with concern. ''Are you okay, husband? You're not ill, are you?'' she asked.

Archer grabbed her by the waist and started kissing her slender neck, which made the silver-haired beauty sigh in delight, but soon enough, he slipped her dress off, causing it to fall to the floor.

This made the elf woman giggle as her grey cheeks went darker. ''What are you up to, husband? Doesn't being pregnant put you off me?'' she questioned with a confused expression.

He stopped and looked at the Moon Elf like she was an idiot before reassuring her. ''Why would I be put off? I still find you beautiful and want to ravage you until you're in a pleasure-filled daze.''

Following that, Archer leaned down, taking one of her dark nipples into his mouth and teasing it with a flick of his tongue. Hecate's arms instinctively wrapped around him as a jolt of electricity coursed through her, pulling a throaty moan from her lips. ''Arghhhh~~.''

The moment stretched on until Hecate, with a playful tug, pulled him onto the bed. The two began to make love, passion igniting between them just as Archer cast Time Warp around the room, stretching their fleeting hours into a timeless escape.

Hours later, they lay tangled together, cuddling close, the moon elf now fast asleep in his arms. While lying there, Bella the Honey Bee echoed in his mind. 'Master! Come fight me and Circe! We want to see how strong you are.'

Archer was confused but shrugged and made sure Hecate was comfortable, but the Moon Elf's red eyes were staring at him with a love-filled expression. ''Where are you going, handsome?'' she asked.

''The Monarchs want to fight me,'' he revealed with a smirk. ''They are challenging me because their strength has increased. It seems like they've forgotten that I will become the second Dragon God alongside Tiamat.''

''Can I come watch?'' she asked, her voice threaded with a quiet, hopeful plea.

''Get ready and prepare to see something amazing as the Monarchs are strong Pesudo Gods thanks to absorbing my mana constantly,'' Archer answered.

This caused the Moon Elf to jump up and get on her winter clothes while beaming. Five minutes later, he grabbed her hand teleporting them both to the Domain. They appeared in an empty part where he created a stand.

''Go sit in there,'' he said with a charming grin. ''It will keep you and the girls warm.''

Hecate's face lit up as she settled under the shelter and got comfortable. A Brownie materialized beside her, offering a steaming cup of tea, which she accepted with a grateful nod to the tiny creature.

Meanwhile, Archer called forth the three Monarchs, who materialized in a shimmer of light a short distance away. A wide grin stretched across his face, reflected in the excitement that blossomed on Bella's.

The Honey Bee Queen bounced excitedly, barely containing her energy. Circe spoke next, her smile warm and apologetic. ''Forgive us, Master. Bella's eager to witness your strength firsthand.''

''Don't worry about it, ladies but I won't be holding back as you're both are close to me in strength,'' he replied.

With a fierce nod, the duo steeled themselves for battle, adrenaline surging as Archer launched himself at the blonde woman. She let out a startled yelp, throwing her arms up in a desperate block as his fist crashed down, unleashing a boom that echoed through the air.

Circe seized her moment, darting in with lightning speed to slam a brutal punch into his jaw, snapping his head back with a crack that split the tension as it surprisingly hurt him; this only increased his excitement.

Archer quickly retaliated in an instant, his tail whipped out like a coiled serpent, striking the black-haired woman's side with devastating force, sending her hurtling through the air. Just as the dust stirred, Bella roared back into the fray.

She unleashed a deadly combo that he managed to block, but some of her punches slipped through his defenses and landed against his scales, causing him to feel it, which put a smirk on his face.

Without warning, he grabbed the blonde's arm with a smirk and threw her behind him. Just then, he cast Cosmic Shield just as Circe appeared, and her talon appeared on her back before slicing toward him.

The barrier flared to life, deflecting her lightning-fast strike with a resounding clang, leaving the woman stunned, her eyes wide with disbelief. But Archer was already moving, blazing forward in a blur of power.

He materialized in front of the Broodmaw Queen like a storm incarnate. His fist rocketed toward her, a force of nature unstoppable, only to halt mere inches from Circe's face. The force sent her flying across the clearing.

Archer sent a Mana Blast following behind and struck the black-haired woman just before crashing down. Bella reappeared looking frazzled and threw a punch in his direction, but he dodged it.
