Chapter 80: Shadow of the Devourer
The night had no end.
Kael's breath was steady, but his desire was insatiable.
The system pulsed beneath his skin, a rhythm older than reason. One of its deepest mechanisms—the Core of Dominion—was awakening further. It wasn't just battle or cultivation that fueled it. No, this was a rite, encoded within the ancient architecture of his body and soul.

He hadn't known.
Not fully.
But now—he felt it. The deeper he went with each of his wives, the more alive he became.
Selene writhed beneath him, eyes glowing silver. "Kael… you're… still going?"
He didn't respond with words—only motion.
Beside them, Evelyne moaned with every slow thrust Kael gave her from behind, her body shaking with aftershocks.
Valeria had passed out once already, her thigh still twitching, her fingers locked around his.
Nysera had lost all composure, whimpering in his lap as he fed her gentle kisses between strokes.
And Thalaria?
Thalaria screamed.
She'd long surrendered to the storm—reduced to a quivering mess of pleasure and lightning.
Their bodies tangled like divine artwork: skin on skin, sweat glistening under moonlight and rising spirit auras.
And still—Kael craved more.
Sometime deep into the night, as they rested momentarily in a breathless pile, the women began to talk.
Selene, head nestled into his chest, murmured, "If this is what it means to be yours forever… I want it. I want a dozen children with you. Maybe more."
Kael stroked her hair. "A dozen?"
Evelyne chuckled, rolling to his side. "Don't act surprised. You're potent, Kael. With you, it'd take barely a touch."
Valeria rested her chin on his shoulder. "I want twins. Nature always balances, right? A daughter with your eyes… and a son with my ferocity."
Nysera leaned forward, voice husky. "I want them born under blood moons. I want to raise them strong—so they never suffer like I did."
Thalaria snorted softly. "You all talk big, but I'm getting first rights to the next session. You owe me a storm, Kael."
He grinned faintly. "Didn't I already give you a lightning storm?"
She blushed. "Sh-Shut up…"
Selene kissed his jaw. "Tell us your fantasies, Kael. What do you want us to do next time?"
Evelyne whispered, "Do you like when we kiss each other?"
Valeria leaned in close, voice low. "Want to see me bind Nysera with vines again?"
Nysera raised an eyebrow. "That was one time—"
Thalaria licked her lips. "Want me to pin you down, husband? You know I can handle lightning and friction."
Kael's eyes burned. "You really want to tempt me again?"
A chorus of smirks and breathless gasps answered him.

Kael looked over them.
His wives. His warriors. His soulmates.
And for the first time…
He thought about the future—not just as a conqueror.
But as a father.
A husband.
A protector of everything they would build.
Even as dawn crept through the trees, painting gold across bare skin and tangled limbs, he could feel a shadow looming. A distant hunger. A watcher with wings and slitted eyes.
But for now, the Devourer remained in the dark.
Watching.
Waiting.
And Kael, the Sin Crown's chosen, was too wrapped in love to care.
