Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

--

Time passed by quickly while Cedric was busy, so much so that he's starting to lose count of it at this point. Well, in terms of time within the Tower of Prodigies, at least.

In his homeworld's time, only five years passed, which is certainly not a lot, but with Cedric going back and forth between Prime Earth and the Tower, his changes were no less than earth shaking, because in Cedric's case, hundreds of years had already passed for him.

Currently, Cedric was back on earth, observing his home from beyond the clouds like a god. There weren't a lot of changes that happened during these five years, but there's progress still, and with the advancements that's happening, this progress will only get faster.

Beyond this, his people are also doing their best to develop other planets to make it habitable for them. It's still going to take some time, but that's to be expected. After all, it's not so easy for a newly risen race like them to make so much progress after regaining their freedom.

Out of nowhere, Cedric peeled his gaze away from the lands and turned into the Sky Castle. With a single step, he breached the distance between him and his target like it was nonexistent.

He appeared next to a crib, and as soon as he did so, a fond smile immediately appeared on his face, especially after seeing three pairs of doe-like eyes gazing at him, accompanied by a silly shuffle of joy.

"Yes, yes. Hello to you too, my tiny bundles of joy. Papa's here."

Indeed. Cedric's a father now to three children. He had gotten all of his wives pregnant after returning from clearing the 6th stage of trials. It wasn't an ordinary pregnancy, though, because instead of it only taking nine months, his women were pregnant for nearly five years, meaning that his children are far from being ordinary.

Still, what only mattered to Cedric was that they were healthy. He didn't care about their extraordinariness or normalcy because whatever it was, he's prepared to deal with them; he's their father after all.

The faint giggles of his children were like music to his ears, especially after he picked them all up to cradle them in his arms. He looked at them one by one, seemingly can't get enough of what they look like even after all this time.

Godwyn, Gilderoy, and Gerald—these are his sons' names. They would be considered triplets if it weren't for the fact that they came from different mothers.

The one he cradles on his left arm wrapped in a white silk cloth was Godwyn, the child of Cedric and Erica. He has a tuft of black hair and has inherited Cedric's golden eyes (Cedric's still unaware if the abilities of the godking's eyes were hereditary).

Godwyn is an active one. He's certainly energetic and loud, a source of annoyance to his brothers. However, he's also showing hints of wit this early on.

In the middle was Gilderoy, son of Cedric and Chrissy. He also has black hair like his brother, but Cedric could already tell that that won't be permanent. As he grows up, the verdant shade of his mother's hair will also show up on his. He also had Cedric's eyes and nose, and he's a bit paler than his brothers. He's not unhealthy though; that's just his natural complexion.

And finally, the lazy one on his right arm was Gerald. He's Cedric and Isabella's son. He inherited his mother's platinum blonde hair and his father's golden eyes too. But unlike his brothers, he's less energetic. He's silent and observant, though that changes whenever his parents are around.

These three haven't even done anything yet, but Cedric already calls them his pride and joy. Their existence filled the void left by his family's early death, and he can't wait to see them grow up and spend more time with them.

Their mothers aren't here right now to pamper them because they're still resting. They could only remain awake from time to time to breastfeed the kids before falling into a deep sleep again. Their extraordinary pregnancy took a lot out of them, and they've just recently given birth, so they deserve all of this, so Cedric was left to take care of his sons on his own for now. Which certainly isn't a chore for him. In anything, he wishes that they could stay like this for longer.

The world is unaware that Cedric is now a father. They didn't have to know; it's none of their business anyway. Besides, Cedric didn't want to raise his kids under the spotlight. He wanted them to remain humble about their origins yet proud of who they were. Of course, he knew that he wouldn't be able to keep this a secret forever. The world will eventually find out, but until then, he and his wives would raise them according to how he sees fit.

Sniff, Sniff!

"Ooh!" Cedric scrunched up his face after smelling them. "Y'all are stinky! Hmph! Come, let's change your diapers."

He took all three of them near the sink and began cleaning them up and changing their diapers, all while the three of them exchanged little fits of giggles and adorable sounds. They seem to be having fun forcing their father to clean up their mess, but Cedric didn't mind as long as they're happy.

After that, he played with them. He took them flying around the world on top of a cloud. Enjoying their curious and amazed looks as they shuttled slowly through the air. Enjoy new stories from empire

As they traveled, Cedric couldn't help but marvel at how the world interacted with his children. Under his strict observation, he could tell that his sons' were being caressed by the concept laws. No, it's not changing them. It's more like a greeting or a playful introduction. He also noticed that his kids seem to be vaguely aware of the presence of laws playing with them too since they react differently to what's happening.

Cedric saw Godwyn tracing the complex lines of concept laws with his tiny fingers and his eyes shining in splendor. This surprised him since that scene was familiar to him. It meant that somehow, Godwyn could actually see these lines like he does, which is also rooted in the innate ability of the Godking's eyes. This tires the energetic child, though, so Cedric soothed him with his energies.

Gilderoy was similar, but instead of tracing these lines with his fingers, he makes these cute little noises as if he's somehow communicating something. Actually, Cedric wouldn't be surprised if this one was already trying to command the laws to do his bidding with how determined he sounded.

And then there's Gerald, who, unlike his brothers, seems to dislike the cacophony of colors swarming his vision. He's irritated by them and doesn't want to see them, evident by the constant wiggling of his arms and legs in his poor attempts to dismiss these visions.

'Well, I guess my kids are truly incredible, huh?' He thought to himself.

This might probably be because they spend years incubating within their mothers' wombs. They were also nourished with many resources to ensure their healthy birth, so it shouldn't be surprising.

'But it's a little early for you three to play with concept laws. You might hurt yourselves by accident, so for now, I'll be sealing this ability of yours.'

'Don't worry though; this seal will dissipate by itself when the right time has come, and it wouldn't hinder your potential.'

With a flick of his fingers, a seal appeared on his sons' foreheads, melting to it and disappearing afterwards. His children calmed down as soon as the seals took effect, and one by one, they started falling asleep.

Cedric hummed a tune for them to listen to while controlling the cloud to return to the sky castle. Once they're back there, he got off and walked to the room where his wives were resting.

There, he found them still resting but vaguely aware of their surroundings. He knew that they sensed him entering with the children, so all three of them opened their eyes one by one, weakly and silently greeting him with warm gazes.

Smiling, Cedric walked up to them and handed them their sons carefully. The women immediately broke in fond smiles as they cradled their children, and the children seemed to have sensed this too and instinctively curled up closer to their warmth.

Cedric's heart swelling greatly upon seeing this scene. With a faint clap of his hands, a screen of gentle light covered the entire room, and faint music started playing. The air turned slightly warm and extremely pure and comfortable. A calming scent was diffused in the room, which made it easier for all of them to fall asleep.

A lull of peace visited and remained in this room, allowing his family to rest comfortably. Cedric would wage war to anything that would disturb this peaceful silence.

Seeing as they were resting comfortably, Cedric exited the room and sealed it behind him. He could appear there anytime he wanted to, so the seal was just to prevent them from being disturbed.

"Yeah, a few more years of this, and I can leave with peace of mind."
