500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"Now, this is only the beginning. I will be coming back to check up on the city once in a while, and I am sure that all of you will be able to do your part as well. Now, I know that I have been neglecting some of you lately, but I promise that I am going to spend more time with you all. I am going to give each of you the opportunity to have a child if you want, and I will help with the raising of the children. I am here for you, and we're all in this together," I said, and then I lowered us back down to the ground and dispelled the air barrier.

The women all cheered and hugged me, and some even cried tears of joy. Even Titania looked touched, and I smiled and hugged her too.

"Umm, do you think we could go back to the city now? I kind of want to see how everyone is doing, and that paperwork isn't going to take care of itself," Hilda said with a smile as she walked over to me. I had almost forgotten I had brought her along.

"Girls, do you all want to go meet in Northwall for some drinks and snacks in Countess Eliza's backyard?" I asked, and most of them nodded.

"I have to go back and check on some test that I have running, but I will come by a little later if that is okay?" Amanda asked, and I nodded.

"I have to go check on things as well, but I will be coming back the moment that I am done! You have better not have anything else planned for the day! you are going to be spending it with all of us!" Titania snapped from where I was still holding her.

"Yes, dear. I will only be a short bit in Torrain, then I will meet you all there, but maybe let me ask Eliza first if it is okay. I tend to just invite people over and then ask her about it later, but she is a pretty good sport about it!" I laughed, and the women all smiled before saying their goodbyes and heading back to their homes.

I gestured for a portal, but only a small one that Eliza nearly walked into but stopped just in time.

"Galio!" Eliza cried, and I grinned and kissed her through the portal.

"I invited over all the goddesses, so do you mind getting some snacks and drinks ready? I am sure that the girls will all bring things, so I don't think we will need much," I explained, and Eliza nodded with excitement.

"Really?! ALL OF THEM?!" Eliza squealed with excitement, but then she peered over my shoulder at Hilda, who I knew was standing behind me, and waved. "You should come too, Hilda!"

"I can't, I have paperwork, but I will come to visit when you have the festival to look for the new goddess," Hilda explained as she came to stand beside me, and I stretched the portal a bit, so we were all in view.

"Awe!" Eliza complained but then looked at me with a smile. "When are they coming?"

"Somewhere between now and later," I grinned, and Eliza rolled her eyes.

"Typical Goddess Time! Fine, I will get things ready. How long until you are coming home?" Eliza asked.

"Very soon, beautiful. I just have to drop Hilda off, and then I will be coming straight home, okay?" I asked, and Eliza kissed me again and nodded before running off.

I closed the portal and looked at the high-rising city and now colorful city.

I was proud of myself, and it was amazing to see that with a little bit of god-tier magic, I could make such an impressive change. All I had to do was believe in my own capabilities, and I could make a difference.

Finally, with a smile on my face, I turned to Hilda and gestured for a portal. She smiled, and hopped through but then turned to stop me as I was about to join her.

"You clearly have a lot on your plate, Cat God, and the Mothers and I need to take control of the city for ourselves. Let us have a week before you come back, and then we can show you how much things have really changed. You have done so much for everyone. Now, I think that it is time that we started to pick up our pieces and put everything back together the right way. Thank you again for everything that you have done and for saving me," Hilda said, and then she leaned in to kiss me.

I saw it coming, so I pulled her into a passionate kiss that took her breath away and left her breathing heavily when I let her go again.

"I'll see you soon, Hilda," I said and then closed the portal.

Then I tipped back like a toppled statue, flopped down on my back with a thud, and let out a long sigh. Fuck, this arc of my time on the Human Island had been much more exhaustive than Northwall had been.

Still, I was acting like I was washing my hands clean of this place, but the truth was that this was just the start. Yet, I had made a difference, and that was what I came to do.

A portal opened, and my hair stood on end as I felt the Negative Energy.

"Don't bother getting up. I have only come to talk," Nemoria said as she walked out and then sat down beside me.

"What do you want?" I asked without looking over.

"I came to congratulate you on a job well done. What you have done here is commendable, and you are learning to control the darkness better," Nemoria said, and I sighed.

"Sure, thanks. Now, what do you actually want, mother?" I asked, finally looking over at her and her black, cracked face.

"Do I have to want something to come and visit my son?" Nemoria asked, and I rolled my eyes and then sat up beside my mother.
