Chapter 168 Jailbreak

"O-Open fire!"

"Shoot him, now!"

"Sure, knock yourselves out."

Arias remained standing with his hands behind his back as he watched the sixty odd guards pull their weapons out of their holsters and start shooting.

Bullets started to fly throughout the air by the dozens, meanwhile Arias simply stood there motionlessly with a familiar smile and no signs of being harmed.

No matter how many times he was shot, the bullets either missed him entirely and bounced off the titanium walls of the submarine or passed through his body harmlessly, exposing the golden visage underneath.

"W-What is that?!"

"H-He's not falling!"

Arias feinged ignorance and placed his hands on his hips like he was embroiled in a real conundrum.

"That can't be right, now why o why aren't your weapons working..? …They've been giving you guys the cheap shit down here, huh? You probably couldn't kill an old lady on life alert with those guns."

"Grenade!"

"Oh now it just feels like you're overcompensating."

Before the grenade could be thrown towards the sub, Arias decided that he'd been playing for long enough.

Holding out his hand, he caught the projectile with his telekinetic power and held it in his center of the assembled guards.

BANG!

When the bomb went off, only a couple died instantly while the rest were sent sprawling onto the ground from the explosion.

Arias snapped his fingers and a flurry of blades of light appeared at his side before piercing the bodies of everyone present.

With the hall now quiet, Arias stepped out of the sub and looked at all of the corpses distastefully.

'If only you had a blessed here… you lot might have fared better.'

Truth be told, Tartarus used to have quite a lot of blessed guards who weren't in service to any guilds, just the government.

But when Arias and his faction came into the spotlight, suddenly having a bunch of blessed guard other blessed didn't seem like such a good idea, and they were 'reassigned'.

To be honest, the leader of the new day didn't believe that he or his followers could shoulder the blame for this change.

If it was so easy to tear apart the trust between two groups, then clearly there mustn't have been any in the first place.

Arias breezed through the field of corpses without a care and simply melted down any security doors.

When he finally reached his destination, he was in a long corridor lined with cells that had prismatic doors and little amenities inside.

The worse crimes an inmate was in for, the less things they had in their cell.

In one block there was a man with nothing in his cell but a toilet.

But judging by the thin and decrepit state of his body, he hadn't been fed in a while so it wasn't like he was using his one amenity either.

Arias sucked in a deep gust of air into his imaginary lungs before screaming throughout the entire prison block.

"Hello all!! I've come to ask, do any of you feel like you have been rehabilitated and are ready to serve a grander purpose???"

-

It was four hours before Malachi stepped out of the bedroom he'd pulled Luna into.

Since he was home and living with only his women now, he emerged completely nude as he prepared to go straight from this bedroom to the shower.

But he would learn too late that he was making a fatal mistake.

Right in his very own living room, his mother and two of his girlfriends were sitting on his couch; watching some trashy reality romance competition on tv and eating BLT sandwiches.

"Oh hey, baby boy! Did you miss me??"

"Shit!"

Reaching inside of his shadow storage, he quickly pulled on a pair of boxers as he tried to recover some of his dignity.

"W-When did you get here and why couldn't I feel you??"

"I was hiding!" freёwebnoѵel.com

"Why?!"

"You seemed busy! I never interrupt when you and the girls are intimate together, I just watch and wait for you to finish."

"""What?!"""

Anna, Sei, and Malachi all looked like they were utterly horrified by the fact that their moments of depraved passion had been witnessed.

On the other hand, Nyx merely shrugged and popped another French fry into her mouth.

"What? We're Greek, darling. We like to have fun."

"…I get that but it still makes me horribly uncomfortable, Ma."

"You should loosen up. I was thinking about joining you one of these times, do you think you'd be interested??"

"N-No!! God, why?!"

Malachi's firm and dramatic refusal put a small frown on the face of the ancient goddess.

"I feel hurt by such a refusal, son. Are you insinuating that your mother is past her prime??"

"I'm saying that my mother is my mother." He said adamantly.

Nyx finally remembered that Malachi was a normal human a little over a year ago.

Of course he wasn't going to have a sexual interest in her.

She wondered if that would be something that would fade away in time or if he would remain forever obstinate to her advances like Nemesis was.

She was really hoping for the former.

"Never mind that, come let me hug you!"

Nyx suddenly floated from her seat and wrapped her arms around Malachi.

"Ma, I should probably take a shower before-"

"No, you're fine, dear!"

Nyx suddenly grabbed Malachi by the face and stared at him with a mixture of love and concern.

"My son… you have no idea just how much worry you've put me through these last few weeks, do you?"

"Ma?"

Nyx placed one of her hands directly into the center of Malachi's chest.

"Don't you remember, dearie? You're a nightmare now. Albeit a hybrid of one."

"Yea… I'm still not sure how that happened though. Is that what's got you so worried?"

Nyx nodded solemnly as if giving him this news was breaking her own heart.

"We…have to keep this a secret for now. If the other highers learn exactly what you are before you can learn to harness your abilities, they will see you as a liability instead of an asset."

"…Why don't you?" Malachi asked.

He was fully aware of what he had become.

Of the sort of monster he had lurking inside of him.

It terrified even him to some degree, so the thought of others being okay with his new state of being was more than a little hard to accept.

But as a response, Nyx simply cupped his face in her hands and smiled at him beautifully.

"You are my son and I know your heart. From the moment that you and your sister accepted me, I was prepared to never forsake you for any reason. You becoming something new will not change that."

Malachi looked like he was on the verge of crying tears even though he wasn't capable.

He embraced his mother once more and held her tightly for a long time; allowing something cracked within him to heal.

"Thank you.."

"There is no need to thank me, my son, this is what a mother should do. Besides, in this way something that I've taken from you can be returned."

"Hm?"

"You can have a child again. It will be different and utterly unlike anything the world has ever seen, but it will be yours."

Not only Malachi, but Anna and Sei also felt their jaws drop to the floor.

"Q-Quick, somebody tell me when the last time I got my period was!"

"Anna, we're all synced up, it was three weeks ago, remember??" Sei reminded.

"Fuck, I-I'm gonna go buy a test!"

Nyx giggled mischievously as she waived away the concerns of the two girls. "The two of you can relax since he can't get you pregnant like this."

"Like what??"

"Like this." Nyx took her finger and jammed it into Malachi's chest, and it of course passed through harmlessly.

"As my avatar he is only boundless night. But nightmares are flesh and blood and thus are capable of procreation. A bit surprising to hear, huh?"

"Are you telling me… if I want to have a baby… I have to sleep with the girls… as a monster…?" Malachi asked carefully.

"Don't speak about yourself that way, my baby boy will never be a monster."

"That's… really not the point here, Ma…" Malachi felt like his world was spinning around and his knees were about to give out from underneath him.

Briefly, he recalled the story Bianca and Luna told him about what had happened when he changed inside the gate, and he felt like he was going to be sick.

What if he hurt them??

Honestly, it wasn't worth it to him if he had to have a child by spilling even a drop of their blood.

And then there was also the question of what exactly the baby would be.

He knew that you were supposed to love your child no matter what, but he atleast wanted a baby that he could walk around with without scaring others.

But at that moment, Luna finally came out of the bedroom.

Like Mal, she was completely naked, but she was also covered in bite marks, black gel, and her ass was as red as a tomato.

She honestly looked like she shouldn't have been out of bed so soon but she couldn't stay put.

Not after what she'd just overheard.

Starting directly at Nyx, her eyes contained unveiled hope and the tiniest fragments of disbelief.

"Mother in law… what you just said… is it true?"
