Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 540: [Glass Scaled Lamia Clan]. Ebirah's transformation.

After the Heavenly Tribulation ended, Ebirah stood there a bit confused. "Hm? Isn't it supposed to be a bit more difficult?"

Yasenia and Coraline chuckled. Andrea flashed and appeared floating before the giant lobster's face.

The four meters in height and twelve in length creature rendered our tall and heroic woman looking like a miniature person.

"Hm? Wow! Andrea, have you shrunk yourself? You are so tiny~."

Ebirah's streamlined claw stretched and poked Andrea with the golden tip.

After hearing Ebirah's mature voice that still had that underlining cuteness, Andrea smiled and asked. "How are you feeling, little one?"

"Super nice~."

Ebirah looked behind her and flapped her lengthy tail. "Oh! Andrea, look! I told you my tail would be super beautiful~."

Andrea smiled softly and approached, patting her on the forehead. "En, little Ebirah is the most beautiful lobster in the world."

Ebirah's tail moved up and down with happiness, and the tail fan slapped the ground repeatedly, creating a constant slapping sound.

"Ebirah, now that you are an adult, I would like to give you a big surprise."

"A surprise? Is it another delicious mineral?"

Andrea looked to the side with a smile and mouthed. "Look over there."

Ebirah's vertical eyes spun slightly in confusion, and she turned her head, only to freeze the next moment.

Coraline looked at her frozen daughter and laughed gently.

In less than five seconds, Coraline returned to her giant lobster shape, reaching an absolute thirty meters in height and nearly a hundred in length.

Although the sizes were similar, Coraline appeared much more enormous than Yasenia because a lobster's body was much bulkier than a dragon's agile and lean body.

"Mommy!"

Ebirah's pink crystal-like legs moved quickly as she ran face-first into her mother's welcoming embrace.

Looking at the now proportionately small lobster in the embrace of the larger one was endearing.

Their antennae searched each other as they communicated many feelings and words through them.

Ebirah also spoke aloud because of how static she was. "Mommy, I missed you so much~."

"I know, darling. How have you been?"

Ebirah, feeling super secure between her mother's claws, started to ramble about her adventures.

Nobody interrupted as they listened to the recently matured princess talk about it.

A few things were different from Andrea's perspective, but they were not too much different.

"Ah! Mommy, Mommy, I made a super close friend! Although she was mean at first and scared me a lot, we made a friendship contract after she saved me from bad beasts that wanted to eat me, and we became super close!"

Coraline nodded and asked with a normal tone. "How do you feel? Does it feel uncomfortable?"

Ebirah's pincers clicked with a beautiful metallic sound. "Not at all~. Andrea is always pampering me! Also, also, I can enter her soul and nurture my body... ah."

Ebirah stiffened and looked at Andrea. "A-Andrea, will I telling Mommy about these things put you in any trouble?"

Andrea didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 'Dear Ebirah, you've already spilled everything out. What's the point of asking? Thankfully, we clarified everything before, or it would've been difficult to clean up misunderstandings.'

"Yes, of course. She is your mom, little Ebirah. You can tell her everything without problems."

Coraline was holding her laughter, even in her giant lobster form, you could see the mirth in her eyes.

'Moreover, everyone here is tied with an oath not to say anything, so there are no problems.'

Ebirah. "Really? Then, listen, Mommy."

And thus, Ebirah spilled everything she experienced without filters.

Coraline was patient, caressing her "little" daughter's body with her claws while answering correspondingly with exclamations of surprise, laughter, or praise.

Yasenia crossed her arms and smiled. 'Thankfully, Andrea placed an order back then not to speak about the Transmutation cauldron.'

When Ebirah reached the events of the Distancia Continent, she recounted angrily how people mistreated Andrea and her other friends because they were humans.

Coraline saw her daughter's upset expression and became thoughtful. 'I should give Andrea a non-slave position. She is tied with little Ebirah, after all.'

Coraline, First Queen Lobster, began planning many scenarios for her daughter's happiness while listening to her.

Ebirah asked. "Mommy, how is Daddy and mother-aunts?"

Yasenia blinked. 'Right, if Coraline is the first queen, it should be a harem.'

Coraline said softly. "They are very worried about you. Do you want to return home with Mommy?"

Ebirah was about to nod but stopped and looked at Andrea. "M-mommy, I prefer to stay beside Andrea. Right! Being by her side makes me strong super fast. Look at my bloodline level!"

Ebirah released her aura without any control, and the whole area flooded with her mid-level Divine-Beast Bloodline aura.

Those other lobster kin almost fell to their knees as a powerful royal aura covered them with majestic momentum.

Coraline's eyes flashed with surprise. She had realized that her daughter's bloodline level had increased, but not this much. 'To think that she has caught up with mine... No, isn't her bloodline presence more powerful?'

'It must be because the Astral Sky Clan people fed her precious pills and minerals. Sigh, I owe them quite a bit.'

"My daughter is not only the most beautiful but also super talented~. I love you a ton, baby."

Ebirah laughed happily and hugged her giant mother closely. She was smaller than a pincer, but that didn't stop our lobster princess from latching to her with all her limbs.

Yasenia approached and commented. "Madam Coraline, if you are worried about leaving her with us, you can leave behind a senior as a bodyguard. I don't mind if you order them only to protect Andrea and Ebirah. I don't want to steal one senior from your clan, after all. If any conflicts arise, I promise I won't involve Ebirah in it."

Coraline got thoughtful, but she knew that these were only pretty words.

After all, would Ebirah watch the person dear to Andrea die without reacting? Would other powers think they have nothing to do with the Astral Sky Clan if their princess and one powerful senior stayed in their headquarters?

The naked Ebirah looked around like a child that had just opened her eyes and was cute to the point of leaving everyone speechless.

**************************************

Author: And with this, Human Ebirah is born~.

Tatyana: Very cute, very huggable, very fluffy, nine out of ten.

Author: Nine?

Tatyana: Only Yasenia is allowed to be a ten. Also, I prefer my super seductive and beautiful daughter who also acts cute from time to time.

Author: I see.

Yasenia: Well, I'm a sucker for cute and sweet girls, so Ebirah just fits my preferences.

The girls: Hm?

Yasenia: What?

Cecile: Do you like her?

Yasenia: *Rolls eyes* Can't I appreciate a sweet cutie without wanting to fuck it?

Cecile: Cough, you are right.

Angel: Where is Ebirah?

Author: With her mom.

Angel: Oh.

Author: Well, let's summon today's dear. I summon you!

Randomplant: Here I am~.

Author: Hello~.

Randomplant: Well, since we are in Ebirah's arc, I wanted to ask one thing to the girls.

Andrea: All of us?

Randomplant: Yes.

Evelyn: I see. Go ahead.

Randomplant: How would you react if Kaleina finds herself in a similar situation to Ebirah?

Yasenia: With a similar situation, do you mean her being bound by a beast contract without our consent?

Randomplant: Yes.

Cecile: That's an interesting question. I honestly haven't thought about it.

Kali: Me neither.

Yasenia: I have, though. Since there is Ebirah, I can't miss the chance of that happening to Kaleina.

Randomplant: What are your thoughts?

Yasenia: Sadly, the beast contract ties both parties at a soul level, so killing the other part is not an option as it would greatly damage the beast's core.

Yasenia: Therefore, I would first try to understand the other person's intentions. If they are good, I would let them develop while leaving a few people to oversee them.

Randomplant: What if they have bad intentions?

Yasenia: Heh, killing them directly is impossible, and cutting the bond is also extremely hard. Hence, I would lock the other person in a cell while asking Mom and Angel to create a Soul Communication Isolating formation to prevent the person from giving Kaleina any orders.

Randomplant: But it doesn't solve the problem, right?

Yasenia: That's why I would torture the human that dared target my daughter, slowly fizzling their soul without touching Kaleina's soul.

Yasenia: The pain created would be inhuman and impossible to adapt to. I would slowly and carefully destroy the soul, savoring every second, until it was weak enough for Kaleina to be able to swallow it and reverse the contract.

Randomplant: ...

Yasenia: The best part is that you cannot get accustomed to the pain coming from the soul. You can get accustomed to physical pain because the nerves end up frying with time. However, the soul pain does not go through nerves, so it's always the same intensity.

Randomplant: W-What about the other girls?

Evelyn: Cough, I think that's a good enough response.

Kali: That's... terrifying.

Evelyn: Says the parasite woman.

Kali: Soul pain is more terrifying than parasites, in my opinion.

Evelyn: I don't agree. The thought of little things crawling and eating the insides is terrifying.

Cecile: A very nice plan.

Tatyana: The screams would be delightful to hear, fufufu.

Angel: Mommy Tatyana, your smile is a bit scary.

Andrea: I'll act as if I didn't hear it...

Author: Cough, let's hope there aren't any poor souls with bad intentions toward Yasenia's progeny, or they will suffer horrors that would make my novel banned if I explained them.

Tatyana: Well, this is all for today. Thanks for reading, dears~.

Author: Bye-bye!

The girls: Have a nice day!

Randomplant: See you later.
