Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 507: Gaia

"So Raya got us all hated by the planet huh?" Muku commented with a deadpan expression on his face.

"Hey! How's this my fault? I didn't know it would react like this! And how is that your takeaway from the situation instead of the fact that the world is conscious? Besides as long as we aren't fighting we won't be kicked off" Raya defended herself.

"Pfft. Like anyone would be surprised by the world being conscious at this point. Besides, haven't you watched enough anime and read enough novels to expect that? And even if you defend yourself with technicalities, it's still your fault" Muku shut her down.

"Tsk. Fine" Raya didn't argue anymore. She had already said all she could.

"Hey, let's look at the bright side of this. Now we can go to space. I'm not the only one who has always wanted to go, right? We can even confirm if those moon landing photos were real" Jade spoke up excitedly.

"Tsk. Of course, you would be happy about this. Though I kinda agree with you" Emily replied to Jade.

"I wonder if I can destroy the moon with one punch" Jade suddenly added. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"What the heck?! Are you trying to make me regret supporting you? Because it's working!" Emily angrily shouted at Jade.

"Actually, I don't think it would affect the planet at all at this point. With mana, it has long become self-sufficient. The moon is still so small, while the planet has changed so much.

Yet, nothing has changed in its gravity... Well, it did become stronger, but again, that was from the evolution with no input from the moon. So even if she destroys it, it likely won't do anything" Layla surprisingly defended Jade.

Though it was probably just coincidental as she was just analysing the moon.

[Alert! Alert! Anyone who dares destroy the moon is banned from the planet for life. It doesn't do its job anymore but the World Spirit thinks it's cute]

Another message rang in everyone's heads.

This time they weren't surprised. At least not in a shocked way like before. Deadpan expressions appeared on their faces instead.

"So the World Spirit is a pervert that's always eavesdropping huh?" Chloe commented.

"It seems so" Muku replied.

"Fortunately we have the embryo. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have been able to sleep on such a creepy planet that's always watching us" Freya added.

[Alert! Alert! The World Spirit isn't a pervert. It's not always listening to you. It just happened to be in the area. So please don't misunderstand] The voice was heard again.

This time a bit flustered and aggrieved.

"Shut up! If you're here just speak normally. Why are you copying the IA's voice? Are you trying to ruin its reputation?" Muku couldn't take it anymore and snapped.

"Y...you you meanie! After I so graciously let you all do what you want without any punishment! Do you know I could have permanently kicked you all off a long time ago if I wanted to?" Suddenly a different and rather childish voice was heard.

Muku and the girls looked ahead of them and saw a little girl who looked around ten a few metres away from them.

She was angrily looking at Muku with her hands on her waist.

She looked so cute that Audrey's habit kicked in. However, Muku grabbed her hand before she pounced on the little stranger and started pinching her cheeks.

He wondered if he should work harder to give her a child. Maybe that would fix her weird quirk.

If the child were normal, he might have let Audrey do what she wanted. But the child was green in colour wearing an earthy brown dress giving off a rather soothing and motherly aura.

Definitely a weird combination.

Honestly, Audrey needed to be checked. How did she ignore so many weird factors and just see cuteness??

"I'm assuming you're the World Spirit. Sup..." Muku spoke calmly. However, he was ready for a battle at any moment. That or to retreat into the embryo with everyone.

He couldn't sense the little girl's strength just her aura. So being cautious was a must.

"Don't sup me you meanie! Yes, I'm the World Spirit. Now apologise and kiss my feet before I kick you off the planet" The World Spirit demanded.

"Hmm. I think I'll call you Gaia. Yes, Gaia. That's a perfect name for a World Spirit" Muku completely ignored the World Spirit, or Gaia rather.

"Hey! Don't ignore me! And who gave you the right to name me? Are you worthy? I'll kick you off!" Gaia shouted angrily.

The others just looked at the interaction between Muku and Gaia with awkward expressions on their faces.

They could tell that Muku was tense. Yet he was making Gaia angrier by the second. Was he crazy?

"Do you not like it?" Muku asked.

"Of course I like it, it's gre... Shut up! I'm really going to kick you off now!" Gaia was almost sidetracked.

"That's good. I was planning on giving it to my first daughter. But I figured it works better for you. Anyway, can you stop threatening us with that? It's pretty obvious that you can't kick us off randomly. Certain conditions must be met. I mean, if there weren't, why are beasts still here destroying everything?" Muku replied calmly.

Even his tense nerves were relaxing. He had realised that Gaia wasn't an immediate threat. Just an angry brat.

"Tsk. I hate dealing with smart people. Anyway, I'm done with you. But just know that the moment you mess up, I'm kicking you off the planet. And I'm keeping the name. Bye!" Gaia spoke one last time then disappeared.

"Well... I guess that takes care of that" Muku spoke after a moment of silence.

"Aww. I really wanted to hug her just once" Audrey spoke disappointedly.

"Girl, do you only care about cuteness even if it kills you? And don't worry, I doubt this is the last time we see the brat. So you'll get your chance someday" Muku spoke while flicking Audrey's head playfully.

"I hope so... And do you really want to name your first child Gaia? Such a pretty name. What are you going to name them now?" Audrey asked while rubbing her forehead.

"Don't worry about that, I have more. Way better than that. At this point, I have an encyclopedia of names... For obvious reasons" Muku replied seriously.

With so many girls, he knew that he would eventually have at least a football team's worth of children. So he already thought of many suitable names for both genders. Gaia was just one.

"Okay. I won't ask now. We'll talk about it after someone gets pregnant... I hope it will be me" Audrey replied.

At the same time, the other girls thought the same. For whatever reason, having Muku's first child was rather appealing...

Chloe, Freya and Lisa gave Muku side glances as if asking him when he was gonna make a move.

Yeah, at that point they had figured out who had slept with him and who hadn't. Apart from Hope of course. The girl was doing her best to hide it, and it was working for now.

Anyway, the group continued on their way as they dove back into the water and continued their search.

A few minutes after they left, a shadowy figure rose from the water.

Its huge deep blue eyes looked around thoughtfully for a few seconds before looking in the direction of Muku and the girls went in.

It then went in the opposite direction.

Clearly not wanting to find trouble with them for the time being...

...

A few hours later...

Muku and the girls were faced with another R6... Two actually.

It was a pair of Stingray-like beasts. Of course, they were humongous like all R6s with threatening features.

And it seemed only R5s liked being in their humanoid forms. R6s preferred their beast forms.

At the very least, that's how it was on the blue planet.

This was because Muku had that encounter with them where they accompanied him through the Beast Forest to the outskirts.

Anyway, the two beasts were actually MR6 in power. So they shouldn't be so easy to take care of.

Maybe Raya could do it, but the others might not be able to.

"So who's taking these on? Rock-paper-scissors again?" Muku asked.

He wasn't in a rush since his mom already said that there were enough R6s for everyone to reach the peak on the planet.

The planet was definitely big enough to house them... As long as they weren't fighting. If they all started fighting. The world would be destroyed in less than a second.

No wonder Gaia decided to hold battles off-world.

"Why not pair up to be safe? I'll go with Elsa and Mom will go with Layla? If such a situation arises again the others will go" Chloe suggested.

"Sounds good to me. Everyone?" Muku agreed and the others agreed too.

The two beasts looked at the cocky group silently then...

"ROOOOOOOOOOAR!"×2 They attacked.

However, before they reached the group, everyone including them, disappeared...
