Leveling Up by Seducing Milfs-Chapter 95. Divine Consecration

Rick could feel her shaking through their Spiritual Link when she closed her eyes. "In one future, you bring all Seven Major Powers together through real connections."

"Your network cleans up the corruption and puts the barriers back in place."

"The Archon is dead, and the world is safe."

"And what about the other future?" Rick asked, even though he was afraid of the answer.

Liora opened her eyes and saw that they were full of tears. "The Archon captures you in an alternate future."

"He makes your bond network into a weapon by corrupting it, and the Seven Powers feed his darkness, and the world enters a time of death and darkness."

"Everything comes to an end."

The shrine was hushed, and it felt heavy. Rick sat there, thinking about how heavy what Liora had said was.

He was responsible for everything. His decisions, his connections, and his power to bring together the Seven Major Powers before the Archon could stop him.

Rick thought, "If there’s that kind of thing relating to a future... there must be a lot of infinite possibilities that I can make that make that timeline become the real future."

"A problem that relates to a future or even multiverse could bring something unimaginable. I need to be locked in so that I don’t mess up any of it!"

Rick said carefully, "Liora, you said the gods sent this vision."

"Are they like... um... how may I say this without being disrespectful...? Like scared, maybe?"

Liora’s eyes were haunted as she looked at him. "Yes."

"Rick, I’ve never felt anything like this before. The gods are in a lot of trouble."

"They are petrified of the Archon, and they thought that whatever he is had been locked away for thousands of years."

"Something that should never have been able to come back."

"Oh my god... I’m cooked if the gods are afraid! How the fuck can a mere human like me who levels up by seducing milfs stop this son of a bitch!?" Rick said in his mind.

"Who the hell IS he?" Rick asked.

Liora shook her head. "They won’t tell me about it."

"They only said that he had to be stopped at all costs, and you are the only one who can do it because of the strength of the bond network."

"If you fail... that failure means the end of everything." Liora’s tears began to fall, and they motivated Rick despite his slight fear.

Rick held Liora close and felt her shake against him. This woman, who led a whole temple, easily controlled divine magic, and wasn’t afraid of dragons or demons, was shaking in fear.

"We almost lost Carmilla," Liora said softly against his chest. "The Shadow Covenant took her, hurt her, and almost killed her."

"The gods are now telling me that things are going to get worse from now on..."

"I could lose any of you, and that includes one of my loved ones, such as... YOU!"

All the fear Rick felt vanished the moment he saw her and heard her words. They ignited his rage and determination to be the one to save them all, and there was no time for fear when he was the Hero of Mature Hearts.

Rick held her even tighter. "You won’t."

"You don’t know that," Liora said, pulling back to look at him with tears in her eyes. "The vision showed me terrible things, Rick."

"Futures where you die, where we all die, where the Archon wins and the world burns."

"Promise me," Liora said, holding onto his robes tightly. "Promise me you’ll get through this!"

"That you will be careful!"

"That you won’t give up your life trying to help everyone!"

Rick wanted to make that promise to her. He wanted to reassure her that everything would be fine, that he would be okay, and that they would all find a way through this together.

But he had already promised Carmilla and Natasha that he would do it, and he knew how dangerous it was to make promises he might not be able to keep.

Rick said, "I promise I’ll try."

Liora said angrily, "That’s NOT good enough!"

"Rick, please promise me...!"

"Promise to do whatever it takes to stay alive...! Please! I’m begging you...!"

Rick looked into her amber eyes and saw how desperate she was. She wasn’t just scared for his life, but it was the fear of losing someone she loved after finally letting herself love again.

Rick said firmly, "I promise."

"I swear I’ll get through this! We all will!"

Liora took a shaky breath and leaned against him again. For a few minutes, they just sat there in the shrine, holding each other. Through their Spiritual Link, Rick could feel her fear slowly fading away, replaced by determination and strength.

Finally, Liora stepped back and dried her eyes. "I’m giving you something," she said, her voice now more steady. "Insurance from God, so to speak."

"What do you mean?" Rick asked.

Liora got up and walked to the altar, motioning for Rick to come with her. "A blessing that can be used as your shield."

"Something that will keep you alive no matter what goes wrong."

She started to get ready for a ritual by lighting sacred candles and drawing complicated symbols on the floor with blessed chalk. Rick watched her work, and even though she had been scared before, she moved with practiced precision.

Now this was High Priestess Liora’s thing, which was channeling the gods’ power.

"Stand in the middle of the circle," Liora said.

Rick did what she asked, and he could feel the divine energy building around them. "Oh shit...! What is this feeling...!?"

Rick looked at both his arms that felt lighter all of the sudden, and all of his stamina was restored to its peak. "I feel wonderful!"

The air got hot and heavy with power, which made his skin tingle. Liora started to chant in a language that was very ancient. Her voice echoed through the shrine in a way that sounded otherworldly.

The statue of the sun goddess began to shine golden light that flowed down over the altar and across the floor toward Rick. The feeling was too much for him when it got to him. It was like standing in the warm sun of summer, which made him feel safe and strong at the same time.

Liora stepped into the circle with him and put her hands on his chest, right over his heart. "This blessing is called Divine Aegis," she said, and her voice mixed with something else, something divine.

"It will turn on by itself if you are close to death."

"Again...? Another protective skill..." Rick said in his mind.

"No matter where you are or what you’re doing, a protective barrier will appear to save you."

"It can only go off once a day, but it will give you a few extra seconds to get away or be saved."

The golden light got brighter, and Rick could feel it sinking into his chest and becoming part of him. He could feel the blessing settling into place, like a safety net that would catch him if he fell too far.

But Liora wasn’t done yet. She got closer, and her hands slid up to frame his face.

"SHIT...!!! SHE SMELLS SO DIVINEEEEE...!!!" Rick blushed while seeing her face up close.

"This blessing needs to be consecrated," she said in a soft voice. "A union of body and spirit, blessed by the gods themselves."

Rick immediately knew what she was trying to say. "No... fucking... way..." he said in his mind.

"T-This wasn’t just a ceremony or ritual...! It was a private act of faith and love, seen and blessed by divine powers...!"

"Liora was giving herself to me not only as a High Priestess, but also as a woman who loved me and wanted to keep me safe...!" Rick’s eyes open wide, and he starts screaming in his mind. "NO FUCKING WAAAYYYYY!!!"

"I’m going to have sex again...!? Even after yesterday with Carmilla and today with Natasha?!"

"W-What’s going on here...?!?"

"Why is it all moving so fast...?"

"Are they horny, or is this just the purpose of getting stronger?!"

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

"I don’t know if I still have it in me after emptying my balls inside Carmilla and Natasha!"

"But... my body... it’s back to its peak because of all of this! She fucking knew it!"

"Are you sure?" Rick asked in a soft voice.

Liora smiled, and some of her usual calmness came back. "I’ve never been more sure of anything."

"Besides... you’re probably looking forward to it, right...?" Liora whispered.

"Please have sex with me... Rick..."

"!!!"

What happened next was sweet and holy. Liora led him through the ceremony with calmness and care, and every touch and kiss was full of divine energy. The golden light wrapped around them, keeping them warm and safe as their bodies and souls came together.

It was not like what had happened with Carmilla and Natasha. It had been emotional and healing with Carmilla.

It was controlled and intense with Natasha. It was spiritual and otherworldly with Liora, as if the gods were blessing their marriage.

Rick could sense that their Spiritual Link was getting stronger and changing into something deeper. The love level that had been stuck at seven suddenly started to rise as they connected on all levels:

Physical...

Emotional...

And spiritual.
