I.. Am God?-Chapter 227 Union Of Two Souls
"I missed that gaze." He muttered with a sob.
Looking at Denos, Matthias' nose twitched, as if he was reluctant with doing it, but the hand that was holding her shook as Bai Xia signalled Matthias to stop it.
"Right, right." Matthias whined before snapping the fingers of his free hand. Immediately, Bai Xia's clothes fluttered, and transformed into a beautiful, pure, heavenly, elegant, and beautiful white wedding gown.
Her silky and shiny black hair rose and tied itself into an updo, with hairpins adorned with tiny stars holding her hair up. A flower crown also manifested above her head and descended gently on her.
A starry silk cloth flew behind her and adorned her dress and her head. Gradually, she transformed into a heavenly goddess.
Denos' eyes rolled up at the sight of her transformation, and blood started trickling down his nose, but fortunately, he got a hold of himself.
"Although I am reluctant to give her to you, I need to be the one officiating this wedding and no one else must stand in my position in this event." Matthias spat. He then stomped, and immediately, the Hall started changing, with the bookshelves sinking down and seats appearing out of nowhere.
An altar then emerged at the front, and Matthias walked towards Denos and warned him first with a glare before turning around to stand at the altar.
When he was in position, he then waved his hand up, and the patrollers gathered at the side and started playing the Wedding March by Mendhelsson.
As the sounds of trumpets, drums, violins, and all kinds of instruments boomed, Denos and Bai Xia chuckled and started walking towards the altar.
Hand in hand, they slowly walked on the pathway that was now filled with petals of flowers from Cane. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
Denos couldn't believe that what was now happening wasn't a dream, so he gripped Bai Xia's dainty hand with cherish.
With them now standing in front of Matthias, the latter finally spoke, "We are gathered here today, with me as the officiant and supreme, although reluctantly, to bequeath my daughter to this.. man."
"Father!" Bai Xia whined in annoyance became of her father's pettiness.
Matthias' face was blank, seemingly having heard nothing, "I grant you union, to unite as one. The bond you have shall be a bond forevermore, and once one sins, this man will take the blame for everything."
"Father!" Bai Xia whined and glared playfully at Matthias, "What? It's his job to take the blame!" Matthias rebutted, with "as-a-matter-of-fact" expression on his face.
"We are one and equal." Bai Xia declared as she gently caressed her man's hand, "Once one sins, we would suffer as one." She said with determination.
"Ah, no, I can't approve of that." Matthias immediately shook his head, "Let's do this, if one sins, the one who did so shall take the blame, okay." Without waiting for Bai Xia's response, he immediately snapped his fingers and bound them.
"Now, to officiate the bond as true and absolute." Matthias signalled Denos by looking at him with a knowing gaze.
Denos returned the look and nodded in response. "I have dreamt of this moment since you left me. Now that you are here with me once more, I shall take care of you, cherish you, love you, protect you, and no harm shall go your way. I love you with all my existence, and may the power that bonds us be eternally present. I will never let you leave me again."
Matthias was listening intently at his vows, and when he heard the last sentence, he immediately glared at Denos hatefully, "What do you mean by that? Do you want me to drag you far from this galaxy again?" He spat angrily, "You sound like a psychotic pervert that is stalking my daughter. Change the last bit."
"Oh, s-sorry." Denos immediately apologized and turned to Bai Xia once more, "I will still let you leave me, but I hope we can talk about it before you do so in the future." He rephrased.
Seeing how Denos was so submissive to Matthias, she couldn't help but chuckle. When Denos and Matthias saw her happy face, they immediately smiled with satisfaction.
"Now, you?" Matthias called to his daughter. "Oh." Bai Xia immediately became serious.
"My husband.." She began, but was immediately halted by Matthias, "Hey, not yet. Save that for later." He reprimanded.
"Pssh. My father is so petty." She rolled her eyes playfully before chuckling, "You forget the 'r' in pretty." Matthias muttered and weaved his long hair back.
"Anyways, my love." Bai Xia continued, "No words can express my love for you. I'll stay with you through thick and thin, and whatever happens in this universe, I would still be beside you. I love you." Although the vow was short, it was definitely enough for Denos.
When she finished, golden light immediately shone, surrounding their very being. "With my declaration and your vows, the bond has been made. Let the power of your love empower this domain." After saying that, Matthias raised his hand and slammed down.
The golden light that was surrounding the two suddenly manifested into two rings, one on each of their ring fingers. At the same time, their immaterial bond merged with the core of the galaxy.
As it did so, a wide halo surrounded the galaxy and formed a huge dome of protection around it. It would serve as deterrence to any foreign attacks in the future.
"The wedding has ended." Matthias declared and lifted his hands, "Feast shall begin."
When he raised his hand, the seats suddenly vanished and were replaced by round tables and chairs with plentiful food created by him. When the deities saw the energy-rich food, they immediately sat and dug in.
Seeing them excited with the food, Matthias walked towards the new couple and extended his hand. Seeing it, Bai Xia held out her hand and placed it on top of his hand.
Waiting for a while, Matthias saw Denos just looking at them. He immediately reprimanded him, "Hey, do you want to be left out? Come here."
With his signal, Denos chuckled awkwardly and placed it on his wife's hand palms down. Now that they were complete, Matthias turned to look at his daughter, "Bai Xia, take care. I would be gone for a significant amount of time, and I may not be able to watch you all." Bai Xia nodded, "Don't worry, Father.
Matthias then turned with a warning gaze at his godson, "Denos, make sure you take care of her now, or else I'll immediately chop off your head once I return, understand?" Denos nodded quickly and replied, "I assure you, Godfather."
"You should call me Father now." Matthias suddenly smiled, which made the nervousness in Denos disappear. "If that's what you wish, Father."
Matthias smiled approvingly and raised his free hand to pat the hands that were placed on his other hand. Releasing it carefully, Matthias then raised his hands and patted the two on the shoulder before turning to the deities.
"Deities of Matheon, hear me!" He shouted, attracting the attention of all. "The galaxy has returned to its infant state, and the worlds are ripe, filled with primal energy. Use it to your advantage, and watch over the new worlds and its new people. I have lessen the bounds that are shackling the gods and you can build your Pantheons if you so wished." He announced.
But, suddenly, the surroundings became cold as his tone changed, "But do not ever abuse your powers to ruin this new creation. I dare you to do so, because if you did, I'll make sure that all the deities and all the laws of this domain will hunt you to the ends of the universe." He assured to the gods with confidence in his powers before vanishing from the Hall.
When he reappeared outside, it was empty. He did not bother visiting the other independent realms because it would definitely be taken care of. What he needed to do was to talk to someone who is within the galaxy. Now that he wasn't bound by a system and is free to do whatever he wants, her influence wouldn't bother him anymore. Talking to her is merely something he wants to do.
From the primordial depths of the dominion's core, he connected with the galaxy's primal core. He lifted his hand up and called upon her existence, "Nuwa, come."
Immediately, a swirl of golden energy emerged and formed into a woman's body. When the transformation was finished, Nuwa, just like her form before, has emerged. "Nuwa." Matthias greeted the guide that was known by all to be dead.
"M-Matthias, or should I say, Master Matthias." Nuwa greeted with a sigh, "Thank you for granting my request." She stated before bowing deeply.
"Although you said your request was to protect the galaxy, I still see it as cowardice." Matthias replied with an indifferent tone. Remembering what she requested before, he still deemed it as an act of desertion.
