Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

A blissful week had passed in Elysium, allowing Lux to spend some quality time with his lovers.

However, he knew that Valerie, Ali, and Ari couldn't stay for long, and the day of parting had once again arrived.

"I love you," Valerie said as she gave Lux a hug. "I'll try to find another opportunity to sneak away from the castle to see you."

"I love you too," Lux replied as he reciprocated her hug and patted her head. "I look forward to seeing you again."

After their embrace ended, it was now Ali's and Ari's turn to say their goodbyes.

The two beautiful handmaidens didn't hold back and kissed Lux's lips, making sure that he wouldn't forget them anytime soon.

"Eat on time, sleep on time, and think of me on time, okay?" Ali said when her kiss ended.

"I will," Lux replied with a smile.

"As for me, you should think of me all the time," Ari said before cupping Lux's face to kiss him.

When the kiss ended, the Draco-Succubus whispered something in Lux's ears.

"I liked the bondage play," Ari whispered. "Let's try something different next time."

Lux looked at Ari with a devilish smile before lightly slapping the naughty handmaiden's backside.

Ari giggled, not minding the slap that Lux gave her. In fact, she even liked it when the Half-Elf was a bit rough with her.

Although it was hidden by the clothes she was wearing, the remnants of their bondage play were still visible on Ari's skin.

She didn't plan on removing them anytime soon and decided to let them heal naturally as a reminder of the incredible night that she had with her lover.

An hour later, the Dragon Princess of Karshvar Draconis, along with her two handmaidens, entered the portal with Lady Faustina.

"It's time for us to return as well," Iris said with regret.

"Indeed." Cai nodded.

Both of them had to assist the people from Barbatos Academy and the Rowan Tribe with their planned migration to the Fynn Kingdom.

Adeline also needed to return to Solais in order to talk to her parents back in the Elven Kingdom.

Truth be told, the Elves were also doing their best to secure their own territory in Elysium just in case the Miasma reached their Domain.

Although it might take a few years for that to happen, starting early would allow them to find a good place to settle down in the future.

The other Kingdoms were doing the same.

Adeline had already gotten permission from Lux to allow her parents to live in the Fynn Kingdom if the worst-case scenario were to happen.

Lux also returned to Solais to inform Wildgarde Stronghold that they could build their own encampment in his Kingdom.

Although there had been mishaps in his relationship with the Guardian of the Stronghold, the fact still remained that they had taken good care of him while he was growing up.

Lux didn't mind repaying this favor because, for him, the people in Wildgarde Stronghold, with the exception of Nero, were all good people.

Days passed.

Weeks passed.

And before long, a month had passed since Valerie's visit to Lux's Guild Headquarters.

During this time, the two Baby Slimes that had successfully infiltrated the Island Nation of Torstein had become very popular with the citizens there.

In fact, both of them had become so popular that certain Restaurants and Taverns now had the flag of the Boom Boom Pirate Crew fluttering on the roof of their establishments.

Of course, they only did this after gaining Eiko's permission.

Those who blatantly used her reputation to do misdeeds were given swift and deadly punishments by her crew, who wouldn't tolerate anyone tarnishing their Princess' reputation.

At first, the Nobles and the Royal Family of the Torstein Nation didn't pay Eiko too much attention because the Baby Slime was well behaved and didn't cause unnecessary trouble.

In fact, she was so good that she even actively wiped out bandit groups in the region on a regular basis.

Of course, the Royal Family had no idea about the main reason as to why the Boom Boom Pirate Crew voluntarily did "good deeds," which was to steal the treasures and resources that the bandits had accumulated over the years.

After many successful bandit subjugations, Eiko was treated like a hero by the locals of the Island Nation.

The Nobles were also happy about this because, without bandits threatening their Domain, their people could live in peace, and trade would flow ceaselessly.

Eiko and Fei Fei loved treasures. But more than anything else, they loved good food.

Because of this, restaurants that got Eiko's nod of approval were allowed to raise the Boom Boom Pirate Crew flag in their establishments.

Since Eiko was considered a Hero of the Masses, the places she visited became very popular, similar to the restaurants that celebrities frequently visited back on Earth.

She had also begun trading with the Merchants, buying the spices they had for sale in bulk.

Of course, the Baby Slime was buying these spices for her own personal consumption.

She had employed the greatest chefs in the Ford Federation to become her personal chefs and accompany her in his journey to conquer—errrr, explore the different Island Nations in the Seven Seas.

In the two months that Eiko was in the Torstein Nation, her fame had reached unprecedented heights.

Fanatics emerged and started a religion in her name.

Some of these fanatics were skilled artists—like painters and sculptors.

They even asked her to pose in her Fairy Princess Form, holding the Golden Anchor in her hands.

Soon, the Boom Boom Religion spread like wildfire, similar to a cult.

This religion only had one rule, and that was the Golden Rule.

"Do unto others what Eiko would do unto you."

Altars with her statue were built in almost every village, every town, and every city.

Before long, something miraculous happened.

Eiko gained the power of Faith.

As the number of her believers grew, so did her strength.

According to Avery, it would only be a matter of days before Eiko broke through and became an Empyrean Ranked Fairy Princess.

When the Royal Family realized what had happened, it was already too late for them to do anything.

A quarter of the Torstein Nation was now a part of the Boom Boom Religion, and it was only a matter of time before it spread further.

Because of this, the King politely invited Eiko to the Royal Palace in order to discuss this issue.

Eiko didn't understand these things, so she decided to let Captain Jack Spawow and Avery do the talking.

In the end, a compromise was made, and the Boom Boom Religion was only allowed to have their temples, altars, and shrines in the Southern Region of the Torstein Kingdom.

Even with this compromise, the King wasn't able to stop the masses from purchasing the Eiko statues and dolls that were being sold by her believers in every part of the Nation.

Because of this, Eiko's power of Faith continued to accumulate.

Avery and Captain Jack Spawow, who knew that this was a good thing, decided that it was time to spread the Boom Boom Religion to other places in the Seven Seas.

So, after a month had passed, they left the Torstein Nation and headed to their next destination.

The Power of Faith was the power of miracles.

Avery believed that the more believers Eiko had, the more powerful she would be in the future.

As a Peak Demigod, Avery could also feel that their peaceful days were numbered.

But until the day that the world was drowned in darkness, he would continue to raise Eiko's Power of Faith, allowing her to play a greater role in the greatest battle that the world would ever see.
