System's POV Chapter 1223: A Detour Towards Home

"Can’t we really go with you?" Erica asked. "We’ll behave inside Rocky’s Mobile Fortress."

"That’s right," Shana said as she hugged Thirteen from behind. "We promise not to get in your way."

Princess Aracelle and Sherry also tried to convince their lover to take them with him to the Antares Continent.

But since the only trump card he could bring with him was Cranky, he felt wary about taking his lovers with him.

"As much as I’d like to take all of you with , I can’t," Thirteen replied. "I might find myself in a dangerous situation. If I go alone, I’m confident about escaping by myself. I hope you can understand that I’m leaving you here because I care for all of you."

The girls failed to co up with a rebuttal, for they did not doubt how much he cared for them.

In fact, he was still hesitating whether he should bring Mikhail with him to the Antares Continent.

Kamrusepa wanted to see him, and as long as he stayed inside Rocky’s mobile fortress, Mikhail’s safety was nearly guaranteed.

After pondering for a while, Thirteen contacted his brother through his communicator and asked him if he wanted to et his future mother-in-law.

Mikhail didn’t hesitate to say yes, which made Siri, who was cuddling beside him, squeal in happiness.

"Thank you, Zion," Siri said through Mikhail’s communicator. "I’ll make sure to treat you to sothing good when we arrive at our place."

"Okay." Thirteen noticed that Mikhail and Siri seed to be covered by a blanket, and smart as he was, he figured he might have called them at the wrong ti.

Not wanting to make things difficult for his brother and Siri, he decided to end the call as soon as possible.

Now that Mikhail had decided to co with him, the teenage boy gazed at his four lovers, who were giving him the "take us with you" gaze.

Tiona, currently coiled on Thirteen’s neck, didn’t have to worry about this. Wherever her Master went, it went without saying that she would be there as well.

"I can only take one of you with ," Thirteen said, unable to endure their pitiful gazes. "So here, throw these two dice, and the one who gets the highest number will co with ."

The four girls agreed to Thirteen’s condition, and so, a high-tension battle of dice rolls was waged between them.

"I know I’m bad at gambling, but this really sucks," Erica sighed after looking at her pitiful dice roll.

Both dice showed one, which ant that her chances of winning were virtually nonexistent.

Shana clasped her hands together, with the two dice between her hands. After a short prayer, she tossed it on the table and got the combined number of ten, which was a very good roll.

Princess Aracelle then tried her luck and got nine, making her click her tongue in annoyance.

Last but not least, Sherry took the two dice and took a deep breath. She then tossed them on the table and watched them bounce on its surface.

One of the dice had a six, and the other a five, giving her eleven points.

The young lady happily jumped in place after seeing that she had won, making the three ladies think that the youngest among them was the luckiest.

"Okay, Sherry will be coming with ," Thirteen declared. "No hard feelings, okay?"

Since the dice ga was fair and square, none of them bothered complaining and congratulated Sherry for winning the position of Zion’s company on this trip.

Since there was nothing they could do, the three made sure to have their fill of Thirteen in the last two days before his departure. The young man even thought his hips had given way.

Fortunately, Shana was there to heal him, and he managed to stand up on the day that they would leave for the Antares Continent.

"Brother, are you alright?" Mikhail asked. "Your legs are shaking."

"I’m fine," Thirteen replied. "I just lack potassium at the mont."

"Your lovers’ faces are practically glowing," Siri comnted with a smile. "What kind of skincare are they using? I’d like so of that as well."

""No, you don’t!""

Thirteen’s lovers replied at the sa ti, which made Siri subconsciously take a step back and hide behind Mikhail, intimidated by their gazes.

"I-I understand," Siri nodded. "It’s one of those secrets that are only handed to the family, right?"

Thirteen and Mikhail blinked at the sa ti, having no idea what the girls were talking about.

"I think it’s ti to go," Thirteen said. "Cranky must be waiting for us at the eting place. Rocky, co."

The Hellfire Bal-Boa was now a Rank 9 Sovereign and was Thirteen’s strongest subordinate.

Rocky had faced many life-and-death battles in the Cygni Continent, speeding up its growth, allowing it to beco a powerful monster.

Very few would be able to defeat it in battle, especially if the battle were to take place in the Hellfire Bal-Boa’s ho court.

Sherry, Mikhail, and Siri were taken inside Rocky’s Mobile Fortress, while Camazotz landed beside Thirteen to carry him to the coast, where Cranky was waiting for them.

The Honey Badger was the Lightning Emperor, so he could easily travel between continents at the speed of lightning.

However, since the Antares Continent was a good distance away from their location, Thirteen believed that even Cranky would take anywhere between three to five minutes before they arrived at their destination.

When they arrived at the beach where Cranky was waiting for them, Camazotz and Thirteen saw him chatting with Shasha as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

"Why are you here, Shasha?" Thirteen asked. "Don’t tell you plan to go with us to Antares?"

"That’s not it, Zion." Shasha shook her head. "I just asked Azrael if we can take a detour to Aldebaran for a bit. I’m sure Mother and Father are worried about us, so I would like to visit them for a bit."

"I see." Thirteen nodded.

It had been a while since Thirteen had last talked to his mother. Frankly, he couldn’t find a ti to do so given his hectic schedule. After pondering for a bit, he asked Cranky if they could make a short detour for a while.

Spending a day with his family was not a bad idea before they headed to Antares to et Kamrusepa.

Also, since Siri was technically a future daughter-in-law of their family, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to introduce her to their mother.

"Cranky, can we head to Aldebaran for a bit?" Thirteen inquired.

"I don’t mind," Cranky replied. "I also want to et Remi and Rhia since Shasha always talks about her cute sisters."

With a new destination in mind, Shasha entered Rocky’s Mobile Fortress while Cranky carried Thirteen in his arms.

"See you soon, Thirteen," Camazotz said. "You too, Big Brother. Make sure to bring a souvenir when you return from Antares."

"Sure." Cranky smiled. "I’ll drag so Rank 9 Sovereigns to beco your subordinate. If they have any annoying Majin Prince or Princess, I’ll beat them up and give them to you as well."

"You’re the best, Big Bro!" Camazotz gave Cranky a thumbs-up. Sure enough, his sworn brother really knew what he wanted.

The previous war allowed Camazotz to have powerful subordinates, making him have the strongest army among the Majin Princes of the Domain of the Apocalypse.

Even Zapar was quite envious of the Death Bat’s achievent.

Half a minute later, a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, headed to the East.

Their destination was Thirteen’s and Shasha’s ho in the Aldebaran Continent, where their loving family was waiting for their return.
