After dealing with the dwarves through his [Karma Severing] Sol stopped caring about them.

This should be more than enough for a lesson and if the prince or whoever dared to act again against the people he cared about then Sol would not be so merciful.

He wouldn't just stop at a dozen people. After all, if he truly wanted, exterminating all the nobles from Greed Dike wouldn't be hard. The amount of backlash he would receive from manipulating causality of such weak people would only cause him so minor stress.

Right now, he was more focused on one important fact.

“So, what have you been doing while you fled from me?” He asked teasingly.

Sol laughed as he held hands with Lilith. His relationship with Lilith was quite complicated.

Lilith was a creation of his grandfather, Neptune, who had been destined to be a tool to serve the royal family and a way for him to create the perfect being.

She was once nothing but a failed experiment. An homunculus with a limited lifespan.

Now though, thanks to Sol’s power, she was her own individual and the first of a new race.

“Well…” Lilith groaned a little. Knowing fully well that she did not have any excuses for that. But it wasn't as if she had really just been fleeing.

“I have been thinking about my new race and the advantage it could give me. I was also reading the Seven Chakra Opening sutra.”

“Is that so?” Sol became slightly intrigued. He couldn't even say exactly what Lilith was at the moment.

What he knew was that using his blood as the basis, Lilith should be some sort of dragon. But she did not seem to have the advantage of the Chaos Dragons.

“Can you transform?” He asked.

“Partially.” She waved her hand and it transformed into claws. “I think I should be able to transform into something equivalent to your War Form with some training. This would get rid of my greatest weakness.”

Lilith always had a body weaker than most and though it wasn't the case anymore, her body still needed to be more outstanding. If she could transform though…She would have the greatest form of defense alongside the greatest attack power.

Sol shuddered just thinking about it. She was truly becoming an absolute monster.

“So, outside of this, what about special talent?” All magical races had talents. Be it elemental power or special skills.

“I think…My concept of Severing is slowly attuning itself with my blood.”

This was another surprise. Concepts could not be shared. Sol's children would never possess the power of Balance, Origin, or the End simply because of his blood.

Though they had a high chance of being chaos dragons.

But if Lilith's power truly had integrated with her bloodline, then her children would be true monsters as well.

Is it because I was more attuned to the End when healing her?

She was full of mystery.

“Well, I guess our children will be very talented.” Sol said nonchalantly, causing Lilith to choke a little.

She opened her mouth to protest but, looking at his amused glint in his eyes, she sputtered a little and ultimately simply looked down to hide her reddened face.

“Perhaps.” She muttered in a low voice. Her stomach felt tight and her heartbeat had accelerated greatly even though she was not fighting.

Those were quite the novel feelings. At the same time, another feeling of joy filled her heart.

Children.

After getting Lilin, Lilith had never really thought about it. It was simply impossible for an abomination created from the amalgam of so many different DNA to actually give birth naturally.

Lilin was a miracle bestowed on him by the monster that was her creator.

She did not particularly crave motherhood. But there was a large difference between not wishing to have children and being unable to because of one birth.

“Anyway,” She intoned, wishing to change the track, “The power is in my blood. So I guess I should be called a Severing Dragon?”

She was joking but Sol found this topic very interesting. If Kali was present he was sure that she would be bursting with excitement, trying to come up with a name.

“Well, I think Dragon of the End sounds pretty cool. But it's a mouthful and sounds more like a title than race.” He mused, “In fact, are you even a dragon? Technically you are closer to a superior version of a human. The cool transformation is just a bonus. Homo Superior?”

Lilith listened with a bemused smile as Sol excitedly started sharing different names.

She found many of them pretty funny or exaggerated. Yet she did not stop him.

His earlier display of power had made Sol feel very distant for a short while. As if he was becoming something different. This was a feeling she had for quite some time now.

She feared that he would slowly become nothing but an emotionless god, looking down on the world and them.

But moments like the current one made her realize that though Sol may change and grow, at his core, he would always be the same loving man who was willing to kneel to save his loved one.

She could not give a clear label to what she felt for him at the moment. But, she thought spending the rest of her life with such a man would feel pretty good.

“There is no need to find a name for now. It is not like it's particularly important at the moment.” Lilith said. She knew names had power. So she wished to truly think about a good one.

“Very well.” Sol did not insist. He doubted they would find a good name now even if they tried.

“Speaking of, there is one promise I made to myself as well, back when you were training me.” Sol stopped rattling names and muttered loud enough for her to hear.

“What promise?” She laughed sheepishly. She had been quite harsh when she trained Sol after his awakening. But there was nothing she could do. His coming-of-age ceremony was close and they needed a crash course.

“Well…” Sol gave a devilish grin as he leaned down and muttered in her ears, “I promised that one day when I became strong enough, I would spank you as revenge.”

This time, Lilith was unable to hide the reddening of her face. She was not so naive that she did not understand the innuendo.

As she was about to react, her eyes widened as she felt Sol’s face approach her. She was a half-step demigod. Her processing abilities were beyond what any human could ever hope to ever imagine.

But as his lips and hers finally touched, all she could feel was pure blankness. She was unable to fully understand the situation nor react.

“Don't make me wait too long, okay?” It was only after Sol muttered those words will their lips separated that she finally came to her senses.

“I have something to do!” Lilith said and immediately jumped on a projected sword before flying away.

Sol laughed as he watched her run once again. It seemed like the kiss had been too shocking for the poor woman.

Lilith was becoming very cute. The gap between her past and current self was incredible.

She is not ready yet.

Sol was in no hurry. They were building the foundation towards a new relationship. This sweet and fresh feeling was something to cherish and enjoy.

For now, I need to go meet Pandora.

A sad smile formed on his face. Lilith had not been the only one to run away.

His relationship with Pandora was so bar bone, even his relationship with the maids he had random hookups with was more fleshed.

This was a relationship born out of pure profit and interest. One made because he thought he was not strong enough.

I don't need such a relationship.

Turning around, he started walking towards the Tower.

Since Pandora would share life with him. He would make sure to bring her happiness.
