Rising up from a Nobleman to Intergalactic Warlord!!-Chapter 227
Leaping through the portal at speed, Lala almost flew off the battlement onto the trucks below. Catching her before she went over the edge, I set her down with an exhausted look.
“Hehe, sorry about that!”, Lala giggled, flicking her spare D-Dial open. “Alrighty, one mass food production unit coming right up!”
Selecting the device in the D-Dial menu, Lala withdrew it from her spatial storage in a flash. Plopping down right in front of her, I hesitantly waited for something to happen. When nothing did, Jarvis ran a few scans to ensure it was safe.
<Other than a few crudely soldered wires, the device is safe, sir.> (Jarvis)
“Are you calling our work shoddy?!”, Nana snapped, jumping out from behind Momo. “I will have you know our wiring job was impeccable!”
<Impeccable for mad scientists maybe…> (Jarvis)
<My AI colleague is right; a few of your wires are barely making contact.> (Bloodtide)
Having sensed my arrival, Bloodtide had come seeking to know what brought me here. Overhearing what Jarvis had said, she analyzed the device herself and came to the same conclusion. Under intense scrutiny from Bloodtide and Jarvis, Nana maintained that her work was flawless. Suggesting Lala or Momo could have messed something up, her elder sisters gave her an angry scowl. Sensing a fight was going to break out, I asked Lala to demonstrate how it worked for me.
“So, this machine works by converting raw material into food via atomic reassembly!”, Lala proclaimed, puffing her chest out proudly. “Let me get some dirt so I can- “
“No need, I have plenty in storage.”, I spoke, retrieving several pounds from my inventory. “Where does it need to go?”
Opening the device’s lid, Lala raised a retractable chute and told me to pour the dirt down. Dumping a healthy ten pounds of soil into the chute, I stepped back and let her continue. Closing the device back up, she cleared her throat and requested steak and potatoes. As Lala eagerly waited for the device to start making the meal, her face paled a bit when nothing happened after a few moments.
“Yum Yum-kun, why are you making a fool of me?! You worked just fine in my bedroom!”, Lala protested, looking to her sisters for help.
Looking the device over closely, Gid and Sephie watched them with bated breath. They knew how hard the trio had worked on the device, so they knew they'd be crushed if it failed.
<Shoddy workmanship and inability to see the blatant issue right in front of you.> (Bloodtide)
“Grr! If you know what the problem is, how about you tell us.”, Momo grumbled.
“You have not plugged it in…”, Bloodtide, Jarvis, and I said in unison.
Looking down at the power cable they were standing over, the trio collapsed to the ground in shame. Unable to stop myself, I cracked a grin and inquired if they needed a power hookup. Sheepishly nodding their heads, several hundred thousand of my nanites created an extension cord for them to plug into. Thanking me, they hooked their device up and watched with relief as it came online. Repeating her request, the device immediately began processing her order. freewebnoveℓ.com
Finishing the meal in less than thirty seconds, the pleasant aroma of grass-fed beef radiated through the air. Picking up the plated meal, Lala offered it to me to have a taste. Accepting it, I cut the steak in half and popped it into my mouth. Chewing it well, I compared the taste to my cattle. While there was a difference, it was more than passable for a meal.
“I would expect nothing less from a professional biologist, botanist, and inventor.”, I praised the women. “While it does not taste exactly like the real thing, the average person would be hard-pressed to tell the difference. For feeding soldiers or survivors of a disaster, it would be more than sufficient. Well done!”
Offering the rest to Gid and Sephie, the couple eagerly sampled the meal with excitement. Elated their daughters had properly built a functioning device this time, they were more than happy to sample their hard work. Giving their daughters the highest of praises, as they chewed the food, the trio beamed with delight.
“So… Does this mean you will take my proposal seriously?”, Lala pressed me, crossing her fingers behind her back.
“I am a man of my word.”, I said. “Would you like to join me for dinner after I return from vacation?”
“Yes!”, Lala replied, without hesitation. “Can Momo and Nana come too?”
“Since they assist you, I will allow it.”, I agreed, giving them a smile. “I will contact you when I return. What is a good address to reach you at?”
Exchanging contact information, Lala’s tail began frantically spinning like an airplane propeller. With my objectives completed here, I told Lawson to wrap things up here and return to base. Acknowledging my orders, he departed to go speak with the men.
“Obi-Wan, the Senate will need to be apprised of what we learned from the Zerg. My gut is telling me we can only trust them until our mutual enemy is gone. After that, we very well may end up in another battle with them.”, I stated, with a serious expression. “Make sure they understand every nation will need to be ready for that possibility. From one galactic nation to another, tell them to get their shit together. The Devilukeans and my men did most of the heavy lifting because they dragged their feet. They were voted into office to represent the people, not their own self-interests. We stepped up as a courtesy this time; do not expect the same assistance next time.”
“I could not have said it better myself…”, Gid agreed. “Neither of us hold Anakin, your men, or you responsible for this mess; it falls squarely on the Senate’s shoulders. The Devilukean Empire expects just recompense for our assistance today, particularly considering that my fleet had to compensate for their shortcomings.”
“Rest assured… The Senate will be receiving an earful from me when I return to Coruscant…”, Obi-Wan swore. “As I said previously, Anakin and his men had to abandon millions of civilians when they retreated. Someone must take responsibility, and it will not be any of us here on Terminus today.”
Nodding my head approvingly, I bid everyone farewell and returned to the resort.
---Resort World---
Stepping back into the sea cave, I released a long sigh as my clothing transformed back into swim trunks. Finding Isha giving Lileath pointers on how to best please a man, she stopped midsentence when she noticed my arrival. Cracking a smile, the Aeldari goddesses rushed over to greet me.
“Is everything taken care of?”, Isha questioned.
“The situation is resolved; I am all yours for the rest of the afternoon.”, I answered. “Or rather, you are all mine for the afternoon.”
Going to retract all my nanites back into me, I stopped when I heard a horny snicker over by the entrances to the cave. Discovering Slaanesh’s head poking out of the water, she gave us a big grin.
“Do not mind me, please continue!”, Slaanesh requested. “I am just going to enjoy the show and tag in when it is my turn.”
“Lileath… Please be a dear and grab the bitch.”, Isha said, lifting a large rock.
“With pleasure!”, Lileath agreed.
Leaping out of the water, Slaanesh flashed her teeth and attempted to intimidate them with her ominous aura. As they were roughly equal in strength at this point, they were unfazed, which sent a shiver of fear down Slaanesh’s back. Cracking her knuckles, the Chaos God charged at Lileath, who sidestepped and tripped her. Staggering forward, Slaanesh lifted her head just in time for Isha to clock her with the rock.
“OUCHY!!”, Slaanesh yelped, falling to the ground clutching her forehead in pain. “I was only kidding, jeez!”
“Well, that makes one of us!”, Isha spat, slamming the rock directly into the Chaos God’s gut.
“OOF!!”, Slaanesh gasped, curling up into the fetal position. “Alright… I yield… You win… Today…”
Grabbing her by the hair, the two Aeldari goddesses dragged Slaanesh over to the entrance and tossed her back into the water. Using my ice magic to seal the entrance and the Chaos Goddess for now, Isha and Lileath released content sighs.
“That felt so good!”, Lileath spoke.
“I can imagine.”, Isha said. “What Victor is about to do will be even better.”
Turning back to me with flirtatious smiles, they let their hair down and strutted over to me.
