Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Chapter 547 546: Local invaders?

"Well, I'm sure you all clearly heard what he said. The playing field is completely different from what we remember. So what is the game plan?" Muku asked the girls after cutting the call.

"Umm, what do you mean? Aren't we just going back to meet up with my brothers then join the human side?" Jade asked confusedly.

"Only if it were that simple" Layla commented before Muku could say anything.

The others looked at her waiting for her to explain.

"What I mean is that unlike the typical modern-day humans they are familiar with, we are pretty much equal in strength to their leaders. So they can't influence or control us as they do the others. At the same time, they won't feel as secure since our strength is impossible. Honestly, if we aren't attacked on sight it would already be great. At this point, we're practically invaders on our own planet the moment we show up. Being human doesn't help at all. We all know that our race was never a nice one anyway..." Layla tried breaking it down.

Some of the girls had looks of realization on their faces. They had not thought of it that deeply before. But it really was as Layla said.

Since all the land was claimed and they weren't there to claim their own, they were currently homeless.

Even if Klaus vouched for them, they would likely still not be accepted.

"Well, that's simply unfair. We're the latest inhabitants of the planet so how are we homeless?" Jade complained.

"I have an idea..." Muku spoke up.

"Why should we go and try to fit in? Since when did we become such people? Why not cut out our own place? The beasts have more than enough land don't you think? And it will give us leverage when speaking to the others. We could attack them too. But let's not make enemies on both sides for now. Of course for this crazy plan to work, we would need to first cultivate until the very peak. This will definitely hold us back a bit more. So are you all willing?" Muku pitched his plan.

"I'm on board. The situation seems pretty stable right now anyway. Before we weren't sure what was good on. But now it's different..." Jade expressed her willingness to go with it.

The other girls agreed too. They were also not willing to try to tie themselves down to some unknown people after coming so far with their freedom.

And who knew what the other party would try to do.

After all, they weren't in a position of absolute power like before.

With that decided on, the group returned to secluded cultivation. This time they told Klaus that they would be delayed a bit.

It was over a text and by the time he replied they were already inside cultivating...

....

A few months later in the outside world and a few years in the controlled time room...

"Okay, now that everyone has reached the required level, it's time to set out..." Muku addressed the girls.

"Now Iris, tell us about that method of yours again" Muku continued.

"That only works from the other side," Iris replied simply.

Freya had given her control of her body.

"Well... that sucks. Speaking of which. We still haven't gotten your cores huh? Althea, can you get me a few R7 and 8 plant types magic cores if you don't mind?" Muku replied then turned to Althea who flinched a bit from being called.

That's right, Muku had continued harassing her over the years...

"Sure" She didn't ask anything and just left the embryo and returned in a few seconds. She was holding 2 R9 plant-type beast cores.

"I'm sorry. I don't have weaker ones. But these two should be enough right? Plant-types are extremely rare so..." Althea spoke as she handed over the cores to Muku like a dutiful little wife.

The girls looked at the interaction with odd expressions on their faces but none said anything.

They figured Althea just couldn't wait to go to the Blue Planet

"Yes, they are more than enough. One would have already been enough. Two will help me recover up to R7 at least" Iris replied excitedly after Muku gave her an asking look.

"Great" Muku replied then handed over the cores.

Iris accepted them and sat down immediately and started consuming and refining the energy inside them.

As she did, Freya's body was quickly enveloped by a gentle green light. Everyone looked curiously after retreating some distance away.

And to their surprise, a human figure started forming in front of Freya.

They couldn't perceive the details due to the light and no one tried to use their divine sense since they would find out anyway.

The process didn't end as quickly as they expected. So of course Muku abused his ability to speed time in the embryo and sped up the time around Freya.

In a few minutes, it was done. It would have taken days otherwise.

After that, the green glow slowly disappeared. What was revealed was two Freyas looking at each other.

The only differences were the eye colour, one had brown eyes and the other had green ones.

Then there was the air they gave off. One seemed reserved and the other seductive.

Not to mention that sne was naked...

"Ahhhhhhh! Stop looking you pervert!" The naked one screamed as she summoned plants from all over and attacked Muku with them.

Muku didn't even budge or blink.

What happened next is exactly what you'd expect to happen in such a situation. And that was the plants disintegrating before even reaching him.

They were PR7 attacks against a PR9 after all.

That's right, after reaching R7, the attacks of a lower-ranked being weren't qualified to even reach a higher-ranked being.

So now, more than ever. A lower-ranked being stood no chance against a higher-ranked one.

After all, how can you fight back when your attacks can't even touch your opponent?

"Tsk. Why are you getting mad at me for? I practically gave you that body. And you're the one who chose to do it out in the open" Muku spoke while rolling his eyes.

He still didn't look away. Though at that point the green-eyed girl who was clearly Iris was now covering herself with a plant dress.

There was even a hint of disappointment in his eyes. After all, Freya's body was simply a work of art. He had never seen it before until that moment.

Technically he still hadn't seen Freya's body, but since Iris had literally recreated it, it could be considered the same.

In fact, while Iris was glaring at Muku angrily, Freya had her face hidden between her hands in embarrassment from being indirectly exposed. How could she not instantly recognize her body?

Not to mention that she had permitted Iris to copy it. The reason being that Iris had gotten used to it over the years and she didn't want to change it.

Freya saw no harm in it so she accepted. And it kinda felt like she now had a twin sister. Even if the soul in that twin sister was a bit evil and untrustworthy.

But they were still connected, so she could keep her in check.

"Shameless brute!" Iris cursed before running away. Or at least trying to.

"Hold on, before you go. Now tell us how to return. This is what you wanted before you would speak right?" Muku addressed her while pulling her back with his telekinesis as she struggled to get away.

Of course, she was failing miserably.

"Damn it, let me go! I would have stayed in the mindscape if I knew you'd trouble me like this! Argh! And I wasn't lying, the method I know only works from the blue planet to here. If it worked from her too, wouldn't the beasts have invaded a long time ago whenever they felt like it?" Iris replied while still struggling even though she knew she wouldn't be able to free herself.

"Oh. Sorry for holding you back then. You're free to go" Muku spoke as he freed her.

"Hmph!" Iris gave him a hateful look then turned to leave

Pah!

"Ah!" Iris screamed but didn't look back. She even increased her walking speed and soon disappeared up the stairs.

"..."

"..."

No one spoke after she left as all the girls gave Muku deadpan looks.

He looked down awkwardly.

"Cough. Sorry about that. It was a reflex. It will never happen again" Seeing that no one was saying anything Muku finally couldn't take it anymore and awkwardly apologized.

He only realized what he was doing after he had already smacked Iris' butt. He couldn't help himself, her reactions made her so easy to bully.

His intrusive thoughts won at the worst time possible... in front of all the girls. There was no way even a seasoned liar like him could lie his way out of this one.

So he could only apologize and hope they were in a forgiving mood.

"Sigh. Fine. Let's forget about it for now. We still need a plan on how to get back" Audrey spoke with a tired look on her face.

She felt that maybe she had indulged Muku too much. Now he was too impulsive when interacting with girls.

Maybe she needed to have a talk with him about it later.

"What do you mean for now? You know what, fine. You're right, if not Iris then..." Muku was speaking when he was interrupted.

"Then me of course" A voice interrupted from beside Althea....
