Chapter 1257 It Was Another Setup

(Eris POV)

"And den' we fucked right dere' in front of 'veryone!" Bait recounted with gusto.

Ahhhhh~

Even just talking about what we did with Master fills me with such bliss~

Diao Chan  gasped, "You just did it in front of all those nobles?"

Bait tilted her head at her, "Yeah, why? It's not like those peeps matta' right? If we go back and dey' start bein' a problem, we'll jus' gut 'em!"

"Ara, ara~ That's a nice way to see it~ I should have thought of that on my date with Master~" Manami giggled.

Tsuki grasped her head with her hands, "Ugh, so should I! Ahhh!! I didn't even need to wait until I brought Aniue back home! I could have just made love with him right there! What a waste!!"

I then turned to Lian Li who was only half listening to the conversation since she was quite distracted by the picture of Master in her hand.

I do admit that Master wearing that priest outfit was quite hot. Maybe we shouldn't have stripped Him completely and had Master make love to us while in that outfit…

Oh well, something for the future I guess.

"How are things on your side?" I asked.

My words snapped her out of her trance and she quickly pulled her other hand out from between her legs.

"Awawa… What?! Oh! Umm… You're asking about those gods right?"

I nodded to confirm that I indeed was talking about that in particular and Lian Li immediately let out a deep sigh.

"Well… Let's say that we found out that things aren't as easy as we thought it might be… We're already Gods with our own domains and we're even governing over certain concepts, so how hard would it be for us to just completely embody the concept and become one of the Universe's pillars, right?"

Laverna leaned closer to ask, "Assumption… Difficult…?"

Lian Li nodded, "You guessed right. It's one thing to be a God of a domain and it's another to personify a concept altogether…"

Denna tilted her head, "What's the difference?"

"For one, we do not need to fully understand the limits and capabilities of our domains before we ascend to Godhood. But if we were to want to personify a concept ourselves, we have to understand everything there is to know about that concept and also allow ourselves to embody it before we can even try."

I turned to Brendan, "Didn't you do that to make Origin Liquid?"

He shook his head, "First of all… Master is Origin. I would be overthrowing Master if I did and that would have been impossible in the first place. Second of all, knowing enough to make something is not enough to personify it."

Bait scratched her head, "Ehhh… Den' how did those guys do it?"

Kiyomi shook her head, "They did not become Supreme Gods after first becoming Gods, they were literally made into them by Master Himself. You could say they were built specifically to occupy that position."

Brendan spoke up again, "In that case… Don't you girls think it might be a better idea to just leave things as it is? Even if Master doesn't remember it, He did put them in that position Himself so wouldn't we be going against Master if we were to overthrow them?"

"As much as I hate to admit it… I agree with Brendan on this," Elaria added. "If Onii-sama was the one who created them and gave them that position, then we might be ruining things too much if we were to butt in."

"Ara? I thought for sure you would be on the side of wanting to change things, seeing how you've been trying to fast forward the technology of this World so far~" Manami giggled.

Elaria crossed her arms, "Correction! I'm only doing all this so that I can fulfil Onii-sama's dreams! I have no intention of sharing any of the technology that we've created outside! In fact, I'm planning to create a barrier around the territory to prevent others from going in or out!"

"Hmmm… Besides Elaria and Brendan, does anyone else feel that we should just leave things as it is?" Lian Li asked.

Kiyomi raised her hand, "Perhaps I might offer a suggestion?"

All of us turned to her, wondering what she might say.

"Our main goal for this is so that there would not be anyone else above us in authority who might prevent us from spreading the greatness of Master, yes?"

All of us nodded at her, that was something obvious after all.

"And to do that, we had the idea to overthrow the Supreme Gods and take over their positions, yes?"

Everyone nodded again.

"Then I just have one more question… Although this has to be addressed to a specific person… You intentionally set us up for this, isn't that right, Iris?"

We were confused by what she meant until a voice came from the doorway.

"Ara, ara? Whatever do you mean?" The white haired girl asked with a thin smile on her face.

"Eh? If she's here, doesn't that mean that Master is here as well?" Lian Li pointed out.

Iris waved her hand, "Oh don't worry, this is merely just a projection of myself. The real me is still by Master's side in His room~"

Kiyomi narrowed her eyes at her, "You may have been able to fool all of us earlier but now that you've started to acknowledge us and gained emotions, you're not as unreadable as before."

"Ufufufu~ Should I take that as a compliment?" She laughed, though all of us could tell there was very little mirth in that laugh.

Kiyomi ignored her question and asked her one of her own, "Let me ask you this… You supported our decision to go against the Supreme Gods because you were hoping that it would result in us spending less time with Master, didn't you?"

"Ara, ara? Why would I bother doing that? How would that affect me? I've always been by Master's side, haven't I?"

"But you don't get Master's full attention. You might have been fine with it before but after you learned how to feel, you started to get jealous of us, didn't you? You no longer wish to return Master back to His old self, but you want to monopolise Master now."

"Ufufufu~ Perhaps~ But what does that have to do with me pushing all of you to become Supreme Gods? Surely that would still result in all of you staying with Master anyway, right?"

"No… If we were really to take over the Supreme Gods' positions… We would lose our affection for Master… Wouldn't we? And then we would simply leave Master on our own without you needing to push us to do it."

The fact that Iris did not respond immediately kind of confirmed it.

The room got so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
