I.. Am God?-Chapter 225 Matthias Discovers What Happened
Princess Han Yue, his daughter with the Pure Consort Fei, also volunteered with research by joining the Divine Heaven Academy, the old Qin University of Literature and Arts. Through her studies, she developed several scientific discoveries that shook the empire and propelled its rise.
Speaking of the Imperial Family, it has already expanded by a lot. The Three Consorts all had one child; The Pure Consort had Han Yue, The Gallant Consort had a boy named Han Zhuang and has become a General Strategist of the Divine Heaven Army, The Noble Consort also had a boy named Han Jue, and has become the Grand Leader of the Divine Heaven Royal Guard.
Also, just seven years ago, the Empress, Isabelle, also had another baby, a girl that they named Mackenzie. Currently, she was the youngest of the Imperial descendants, and is doted on by her older siblings.
Also, due to him being forced by Cane and the others, he also took other concubines; the princesses of the former allied territories that surrendered under his rule.
One of them was of course Dugu Xianping, the princess of the Yuan Empire that fought against his brothers' authority. There's also the princesses of the Tanaka Shogunate and the Verimont Kingdom.
As benefits of them being allies, the former rulers of the allied territories also gained kingship, with King Tanaka being granted the old Shogunate capital as land, and King Verimont being granted the Northernmost Land of Divine Heaven that he wished.
In the ranks of the harem, it could be said that Dugu Xianping has one of the greatest influences, because, aside from being a Lady, she also has a title of Kingship, with the old capital of her mother's dominion as her fief.
So, although she has no offspring from the Emperor, she still has a say with the decisions in the country.
Thinking of all that complicated family harem type of things, Matthias' head hurts.
But still, looking at everything that he had accomplished in these two hundred years, Matthias couldn't help but sigh with amazement. Suddenly, he felt something deep in him that somehow disconnected.
"Hmm?" He wondered. "My clone had already used the two soul slivers that I had attached to him?" He muttered.
He wondered what was happening to Matheon. Having the urge to go, Matthias immediately vanished from his position. When he reappeared again, he was already in the middle of space.
Suddenly, he was shocked with what he saw. "What happened here?!" He exclaimed.
He saw the ruined galaxy– no, scratch that– he saw no galaxy!
Somehow, someone heard him, and it was Asileius. When he saw Matthias, he immediately rushed to him and bowed, "I apologize for this, Master."
"Why are you apologizing? What happened to Matheon?" Matthias asked worriedly.
"An infection happened. It would destroy the entire galaxy if we didn't act, and your clone has suggested restarting the galaxy, so we did just that." He explained.
"Restarting?" Matthias gawked. Of course, what had happened had already happened, so he had no choice. "Let me do it." He said before flying towards the galaxy. Hearing that he would be taking over, Asileius brightened up.
When the others saw Matthias, the original deities rejoiced while the new ones who hadn't encountered him threw him a displeased look.
"Lord!" The deities Yi Tiancai, Xuan, Void Lord, and Fang Yuan immediately knelt towards him.
"Matthias!" His friends Key, Jeremy, Sana, and Sky also flew towards him and called out. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚
"Lord!" The original Demon Dukes and Princes and the Twelve Seraphim also stepped forward and knelt in front of his presence.
"Are you finally returning?" Key asked excitedly. "Unfortunately, no." Matthias replied, which dampened the former's joy.
"The quests inside the Immortal Territories are still incomplete, and as much as I would like to stay here, I still need to go back and would probably be gone very long once more. I just visited since I am curious about the state of the galaxy." He said.
"You should just abdicate." Suddenly, from the ranks of the deities, someone shouted with displeasure, which attracted the old deities' attention.
"Judging by the old gods' reaction when you arrived, you should be 'His Majesty Lord Matthias' that was being talked about by Lord Asileius for a long time." The person who spoke was a middle-aged looking man clothed in a red cloak. He was playing with fire when he moved forward.
"When your domain needed you, you were absent, somewhere in the universe, happy with your life, while we were fighting against those anomalies, trying to protect your domain." He spat, with the other new deities backing him with nods and hums of approval, "You should just abdicate because you are unworthy of your position."
"Silence!" Flaring with anger, Asileius bellowed towards the speaking deity with flaming wrath. The other old deities were also glaring at him hatefully as their looks pierced him like arrows.
Seeing those reactions from the old deities, the new deities' mouth went shut and their bodies stiffened.
Matthias, on the other hand, was only looking at what was happening in front of him with no reaction on his face whatsoever. Seeing that, the deity took it as a weapon, "See?! He doesn't care about any of us! Lord Asileius should just be the one to sit on the Matheon Palace's throne!" He yelled indignantly.
"Flero!!" Xuan became even more angered as he pushed Asileius away and punched the deity straight in the face, causing him to fly and slam down into one of the planets in the galaxy.
"Enough." Matthias suddenly spoke when Xuan was already preparing to fly towards Flero once again to punch him.
Matthias lifted up his arm and moved his hand. From the planet, Flero's unconscious body immediately floated towards them. Seeing that, the deities who weren't familiar with his power widened their eyes.
The distance between them and the planet where Flero slammed down was at least a light year. Being able to make a body float towards them in such a distance was something that none of them could do.
When Flero's body reached Matthias, he tapped Flero's head with a finger, and with a snap, the former woke up. When Flero opened his eyes, he was startled, shocked, and terrified to discover that he was in the hands of the god that he discredited. "W-What are you going to do?! Are you going to kill me because I'm against you?!"
Matthias just looked at Flero and laughed before throwing him away. "I have already given Asileius and the others the right to govern my domain, young deity. Except for being the creator, I already have little to no authority over the decisions made in my absence." He said.
"What?!" Everyone gasped when they heard him except for Asileius and those who had already guessed it. In front of their uncertainty, he nodded, "I know for myself that I would be gone for a very long time, and if they still had to wait for my approval to make the decision, then the galaxy would surely fall. It is also the reason why I established the Highest Supreme Council; to make decisions on my behalf."
"Although not entirely, I had already relinquished my authority as ruler and would only serve as a Creator for the galaxy. It is for the good of everyone, including me." He laughed.
"When I became a Creator, I wanted to live normal lives in different worlds, but, of course, I had duties as a powerful being, so I had to compromise." He then looked at them with a smile, "But now that you all are present, I can be assured that I have nothing to worry about."
He chuckled and shook his head, "Anyways, this galaxy is a mess." After saying that, his aura changed as he emitted the pressure of a true god. He raised his hand and called upon his power, fully connecting his will with the white hole.
Immediately, the scope of the white hole expanded, encapsulating more than three hundred thousand light years of area with its cosmic amount of energy.
After that, Matthias started creating en masse, simultaneously forming stars, planets, asteroid belts, different metals, elements, minerals, energy, qi, and surely, life in both the micro and macro-level spectrum.
Half an hour later, the galaxy's look returned to how it was years ago, fresh from any harmful existences. The white hole retracted itself in the middle of the galaxy and stayed there, spinning in a slow and stable manner. Gazing at the newly-created galaxy in front of them, everyone was amazed.
"That was quicker than how it should've been with your level of power, Lord!" Asileius exclaimed, knowing full well the power that Matthias had when they last saw each other.
"Time passes, friend." Matthias chuckled and sighed, "Time passes."
Within the galaxy's inner structure, particularly the realms, were also greatly influenced by the restructuring and the evolution of energy, with God's Land, Cane, and the Hall of Knowledge changing in the quark level, with its very structure becoming more sturdy, powerful, and can even generate greater products than they ever had.
