My Hermes System Chapter 400 - 399: Long Live King Evans

Chapter 400 - 399: Long Live King Evans

"Shall we… talk about the World Eaters?"

"You just tried to rape me, Queen Vivati."

"K… King Evans!"

Ameera was well aware of what the Eisis could do; and what just happened within the few seconds that Van and Vivati were shaking hands. For Van, it probably felt like they were stuck there alone for months-- who knows what could have happened there.

Of course, with Van reacting the way he was, it couldn't be anything good. But if it was just that, then Ameera would have probably kept her silence. But as soon as trickles of golden lightning started to emerge from his eyes, she knew that she had to at least do something.

"P… please, I am sure this is just some sort of misunderstanding!"

If a war were to suddenly break out because of this, then Eisis was probably doomed. Van was someone capable of treating a billion nano-layered tungsten, which is the material used in most of the Base Station's walls and doors, like some sort of cardboard; crumpling it in his hand with ease.

Add that to the fact that he could probably move faster than Mach 30-- if he went on a rampage here, then before the Common Council could even act… a percent of Eisis would already be gone. And so, with all those in consideration-- she should probably start doing her job as a glorified tour guide.

"The… The Queen might have just been too excited to meet a super extraterrestrial life for the first time!"

"A misunderstanding?" Van then slightly click his tongue as he turned his twitching eyes towards Ameera,

"So If I rip off your clothes now and force myself on you, would you consider that a misunderstanding?"

"W… What?" Ameera's eyes could not help but widen in shock. Okay, she probably didn't know too much about their biological… copulation. But she knew enough that the Eisis did not need to do anything while their minds were in-synced with their chosen partner.

Pulling down someone's pants and forcing one's self on someone? The Queen of the Eisis did something like that?

Isn't that basically rape? Even if it was all in their minds, that doesn't change the fact that Queen Vivati did forcibly trick Van into copulating with her. They were long past the times that their world was only punis.h.i.+ng men for taking advantage of someone; could it be that Osiris is not like that yet?

This… isn't this an emergency?

Ameera then turned her focus on Queen Vivati, who was still smiling even with the trickles of lightning coming out of Van's eyes.

Does… she not know the gravity of the situation!? How could she do something like that to a species that was still relatively new and completely unknown to them!? This… isn't this like going to a museum and trying to have intercourse with one of the things displayed there!?

Even for a queen, this is somewhat disrespectful… isn't it? Should she say something? Was it her place to say something when she was just a measly captain in the s.p.a.ce Force?

This was a meeting between royalty, is she even allowed to be here in the first place?

Ameera's eyes looked back and forth between Van and Vivati endlessly as millions of thoughts festered her mind.

"I truly apologize for what I did, King Evans."

And after a few more seconds of the awkward but extremely heavy tension persisting in the air, Queen Vivati finally spoke up.

"I was just truly mesmerized as to how a single ent.i.ty could have as much energy as a reactor that I could no longer contain myself," Queen Vivati then bowed, before completely kneeling on the floor.

Wait… Wait, what's happening!?-- Ameera thought. How she truly wished that the Queen had an escort or a.s.sistant with her that could at least explain or stop the Queen from what she was doing. But alas, as soon as Queen Vivati and Van shook hands, all of them turned into c.o.c.kroaches that were revealed into the sun; scampering away without any warning.

"What I said before our minds were unlinked are true, King Evans," Queen Vivati added, her knees not leaving the floor, "I, as well as Osiris, are all yours to do with as you wish."

Seeing Eisis kneeling on the floor; with her words completely courteous and still filled with dignity, it was almost like she was talking to a completely different person. No, but that doesn't matter-- this woman still took advantage of him. That was not something he would ever take lightly.

"Y--"

"If you wish to punish and imprison me for what I have done, then you may do so."

And before Van could even say anything, Vivati raised her head and looked at him straight in the eyes; her face, seemingly devoid of any pretense,

"Order it and my own people will do it without any hesitation," Queen Vivati continued.

"That's--"

"You may also kill me if you wish. But please do so after our child has been born."

With Queen Vivati's eyes not breaking with his for even a single millisecond, Van could not help but let out a small but weighty groan of frustration. Even if it's a completely entirely different species…

...why are women always so manipulative?

Evangeline, Sarah, Athena, Angela; Heck, sometimes even Andrea used to coerce him with a smile on her face. Van would probably not be surprised anymore if a female World Eater would be the same as well.

Is it something that comes… naturally for them?

"Stand up, Queen Vivati," Van then shook his head as he let out another long and deep sigh, "We will talk about what to do with you later. For now… let's talk about the World Eaters."

"Of course," Queen Vivati carefully stood up before clapping her hands. And as soon as she did so, the several people who were previously in the room all returned.

"Please, take a seat, King Evans."

Queen Vivati then gestured to Van to sit at the large table prepared for them at the center of the room. And as soon as the Queen's people saw Van being offered a seat by their Queen, they all looked at each other in shock; But after a few seconds, after Queen Vivati sat beside Van, they all bowed towards him one by one.

"We greet our new King," they all said with respect before taking their respective seats.

"King Evans, may I introduce you to the leaders of the countries of Osiris."

Queen Vivati then introduced the people one by one; a.s.serting and confirming Van's position at the table at the same time.

"Most of you may be aware of it already, but King Evans came from beyond the Barrier," Queen Vivati then explained, "And in his world, there are men and women that are capable of destroying islands with just the sheer force of the energy contained within them."

"...What? There are more?"

The people all started to whisper and clamor quietly with each other as they heard the Queen's words. Even Ameera, who was standing on the side, could not help but take in a huge and deep breath. She had been with Van for almost a week now, and she still didn't know that.

Van was initially going to be surprised, but then he remembered their minds were a.s.similated just a few moments ago. So… there was still a small benefit with what the Queen did. With this, he wouldn't have to explain anything to them-- if it comes from Queen Vivati's mouth, then they would have no choice but to believe it.

And so, Van just gestured to Queen Vivati to continue explaining on his behalf.

"Yes. But of course, even among them, King Evans is special… very, very special."

With the tone of Queen Vivati's voice slightly turning… coquettish, the others could not help but look to the side, quietly clearing their throat as if to remove the awkwardness away.

"And I am going to say this now, you should all be thanking King Evans for what he is doing now," Queen Vivati then continued as her tone became completely serious; no trace of her playful tone to be found,

"King Evans is here to warn us. Warn us of impending doom that involves not only the planets and species of our solar system but those that are beyond the Barrier as well. There is a race of humans that have… evolved abnormally."

"...Humans?" The leaders all turned to look at Ameera, who had no idea what to do in this situation anymore.

"Not like them. Humans from another universe."

"Another universe? There… is more than one!?"

"King Evans is a child of two different universes," Queen Vivati then let out an arrogant smirk as she looked at her people. And true enough, she got her expected response-- they all started looking at each other in utter confusion and awe.

"Queen Vivati… please get to the end," Van, on the other hand, could not help but let out a sigh.

"Of course, King Evans," Queen Vivati then nodded before standing up from her seat, "The race of humans that evolved abnormally… are killing planets-- garnering them the name of World Eaters as decided so by King Evans himself."

Queen Vivati continued to explain about the World Eaters towards her people. Their expressions were a plethora of different faces, but one expression stood above all-- fear.

If the World Eaters are truly coming, and if their level of technology is truly something that was millions of years ahead of their own; then as it stands, their world wouldn't stand a chance.

"I know those faces," Queen Vivati then let out a long and deep sigh as she looked at the leaders of her people, "But do not despair… inside of me is the will of King Evans…"

Queen Vivati then gently touched her belly, "And with this child, as well as the might of King Evans…

...We will win against them!"

"Long live Queen Vivati, Long Live King Evans!"

"..." Are these people.... actually depending on a child that hasn't been born yet?
