Arpious of the Planes
Chapter 347 Hepha

"Congratulations, but I'm gonna be honest… You still need to do these recon missions until you feel like you actually can't. You're the only one for this job as if shit hits the fan, then you're the only one who has a chance of escaping,"

"I see… Well, I can probably go for about another month, so rest assured… I'll figure out all their secrets,"

That day, a fiery, psychotic flame of emotions burst from the commander's tent.

…

About a month had passed, and I could definitely feel a baby practically kicking inside my womb.

The pain was really bad, but thankfully, I had my pain immunity off; otherwise, I would've continued with my dangerous job, not even knowing the baby was close.

I kept thinking about the scenarios that could erupt if I ever didn't stop… would the baby die? Life-threatening deformities? And if all of those did happen… Loni would probably be very disappointed and angry at me.

"*sigh*... I'm sad it isn't my baby," Lisa muttered as she brought me a cup of tea.

"Well, Loni beat you to it first… But you would've definitely gotten me pregnant if Loni didn't beat you," I chuckled as I rubbed my belly, which wasn't as bloated as I thought it would turn out to be.

It just looks like I ate a bit too much for breakfast, expanding my stomach to a bit past its limit.

To be honest, I don't know if this is bad or good because my wives, who did give birth from their own stomachs, definitely had bloated bellies.

"Ugh… I need to use the bathroom. Help me up," I say to Lisa, who was just about to shift into the bed with me.

"Sure," She says before helping me out and helping me to the bathroom, where I not only used the toilet but also took a warm bath in order to ease the pain.

I should probably leave the pain immunity off… otherwise, I won't even know when my water breaks or something like that… I must be wary at all times in order to give birth successfully.

"*sigh*... This still sucks," I muttered.

…

Only a few days later and my water broke but thankfully, Loni was on a break for the rest of the month in order to attend to me, so I had no trouble once it did happen.

"It's okay… It's okay…." She muttered as a nurse immediately entered the room, but I was already in labor.

The pain was excruciating, so I decided to finally turn on pain immunity, but that just left me with this extremely weird feeling in my lower half… but it was still better than the initial pain I felt.

As the nurse guided me through the process, Loni was by my side the entire time, stroking my hair.

I wasn't really screaming in pain, but she could see the discomfort in my face, so she knew she had to be there with me.

It was something I couldn't do for my wives in my previous life.

And with one last final push, I saw a baby girl finally come out of my lower section, and the nurse immediately placed the sleeping baby on my chest.

Sweat drenched my body, but the only thing I could think of was to protect this baby at all cost… even at the expense of my own life.

"Nurse, why isn't our baby crying?" Loni asked something that hadn't even streaked my mind as I hugged the baby gently and close to me.

"Most of the time, the kin of very strong monsters inherit their traits. Either that is a strong will, or maybe some of their skills, their personalities, or maybe… their body modifications. I do see some tattoos along her skin, but as they will begin peeling in the next few days, allow me to help you," The nurse kindly said.

As we had no reason to decline, we both nodded our heads before Loni quickly embraced me, tears flowing from her eyes.

The tears flowing from her eyes awakened something in me, and tears began to flow from my eyes as well, surprising the nurse who quickly left the room.

I'm glad she respected our intimate moment.

"What should we name her?" I ask after slightly calming down.

"I don't know… How about you. You can go ahead and choose," She says as I was the one who gave birth and did all the hard work.

"I have a cool name," I slightly chuckled to myself after only thinking for a few seconds, but the name just popped into my mind like magic.

It was as if the spirits themselves willed me to name her this.

"Hepha," I muttered.

"That's a good name," Loni muttered, tears flowing from her eyes again as she continuously showered the tiny girl, about the size of my forearm, in kisses.

…

Just from a glance… I could instantly tell that she was the strongest child I've ever had… but I still love her as equally as many other children… by a lot.

I then compared her to my own skills, titles, and body modifications but couldn't really replace anything… but I was actually worried about one thing.

All these siren things… These sires are something that is a mystery to the world and myself… But I won't let them take my child away from me.

Never.

Titans didn't do much. A dragon barely did anything. An entire war across the plane barely phased her. But, when Arpious birthed her child, something shifted within her… and she was humbled.

…

(Somewhere far away in another plane)

"SHE'S BEEN BORN! THE DESTINED CHILD THAT WILL SAVE OUR RACE HAS BEEN BORN! STEAL HER! ACQUIRE HER! DO ANYTHING YOU MUST! JUST GET THAT CHILD HERE!"

"YEAHHHHHHH!"
