Jason defeated the Golden Dragon with a powerful lightning attack, causing massive destruction. He reviewed his stats, noting his advancement to Primordial Rank I and his need to further increase his power before facing a Primordial Rank II opponent. Valeria arrived, ready to depart with Jason and Helios.

Jason floated off the ground and landed beside Valeria on the dragon’s back, and Jason smiled as Helios came around and sat on his shoulder while nipping his ear softly.

"Traitor."

Helios let out a cry when Jason said this, and Jason chuckled as Valeria rolled her eyes. Valeria obviously understood the strange dynamic between the three of them by now, and even though she didn’t show it, Jason could tell that she was happy to spend time with Helios. Jason scanned Valeria’s power and saw that she had also gotten stronger. She was now a TITAN Rank III, and Jason couldn’t help but smile at that.

"Why are you smiling at me?"

Valeria spoke suspiciously when she saw Jason smiling in her direction, and Jason just shrugged.

"It’s nothing much. I see you’ve entered TITAN Rank III. I’m proud of you."

Valeria huffed in annoyance and spoke with a glare.

"You know I’m older than you, don’t you? Stop treating me like your little sister."

"I’ll treat you like an older sister when you learn how to save money."

Valeria’s cheeks immediately reddened, and she growled at Jason. This bastard! Jason chuckled at Valeria’s glare as he gave the order for the dragon to take off, and the dragon flapped its wings and charged into the air before Valeria could say anything more.

[Earth]

[With Gina and Mira]

Over the past month since Jason left, Gina had settled into a new routine on Earth. Gina spent most of her time with Jason’s family at his mansion, and they helped her with whatever she needed. Mira and Janet made it their personal mission to make sure that Gina was taken care of, and Gina never felt lonely even once since they were always there to check on her.

When she wasn’t spending time with the family, Gina was overseeing some of the general aspects of the Monarch Guild and making sure that everything was working exactly how Jason wanted it to. The Earth Defence Forces [EDF] had begun working properly now, and after the [Pill of Mortal Severance] was finally spread out to some of the stronger superhumans on Earth, there were now close to a thousand TITANs that could go across multiple worlds in the sixth domain and help out with anything they needed.

Whenever Gina ran into an issue that she couldn’t deal with on her own, she would either call Juliet for help or she would ask Jason through their mental link. The fact that Gina could just talk to Jason whenever she wanted through their link gave her a sense of security that allowed her to go through her pregnancy without issues. Gina was already in her third trimester, and she was starting to show seriously, so there was a doctor who came over to the mansion every week to make sure that everything was going well with the baby. Mira was the one that insisted on it, and Mira had even called the same old female superhuman doctor that helped her when she carried her three children.

Gina didn’t think it was necessary since Gina knew the baby would be healthy. The baby was going to be a Marc, and it carried Jason’s genes, so there was no way it wouldn’t be one of the strongest people alive.

Riyala and Hesabeth also came over as much as they could. Riyala came over more often than Hesabeth since she lived closer and her responsibilities weren’t as intense as what Hesabeth had to deal with. The three wives spent time together, and they also got to know Agiel better since they knew that she was now the youngest wife in their family. Agiel had been very nervous around the three women for a long time. Agiel had seen many polygamous families where the older wives treated the younger wife badly, and Agiel had been worried that this would be similar to that. But after a while, Agiel realised that the other women really didn’t mind having her in the family, and she slowly relaxed around them and finally started getting to know them properly.

Agiel had gotten into her training like a madwoman over the past few weeks. Agiel had joined the EDF as one of the frontline fighters, and she began heading towards some of the worst worlds that had serious problems with either mercenaries or tyrants that were oppressing them. This allowed Agiel to unleash the full force of her power on these enemies, and she could use them as stepping stones to get stronger quicker. Agiel knew that the only reason why Jason had left her behind was because he thought she was too weak to go out there with him, and Agiel was making it her personal mission to reach at least TITAN Rank II before Jason got back.

In this time, things had been so busy for the entire family, and before they knew it, more than two months had passed since Jason left Earth, and it was already getting very close to when Gina would have the baby.

[The Zeroth Domain]

[Two Months After Jason Left Earth]

After their quick stop at Capri, it didn’t take long for Jason and the rest of his crew to continue their journey across the Zeroth Domain once again. There were five stops that they planned to make before they reached Bal’ina, but only two of those stops had been planned for attacking rogue worlds filled with PRIMORDIAL Ranks that Jason could kill. The other three stops were for supplies, and the team were currently on one of those supply worlds right now.

The world of Nue was hailed as the largest trading stop in this part of the Zeroth Domain. It had every single form of supply that a travelling crew could ever need, and even though their prices were steep, many crews made their stops here because this region of the hyperspace was seen as neutral ground, just like the Pit.

Jason and Stella made their way through the heavily crowded streets of Nue calmly. They had bought a lot of supplies, and Stella put a lot of them into her spatial space, but the crowds here were so intense that they could barely go two steps without bumping into someone. Nue was a very bright world with a red sun shining down on them and large buildings located at every intersection. Since this entire world had been built just for trade, there were no residential buildings here. Every single person here had come from another world just to either buy or sell something.

As they walked, Jason spoke to Stella calmly.

"How long before we get to the next world?"

Stella answered respectfully while keeping up with Jason’s movements.

"It should be about three days, master. Madam Valeria estimated that we should reach Bal’ina in the next week if we continue at this pace."

Jason hummed calmly as he turned a corner. Stella also turned, but she ended up bumping into someone, and she nearly lost her balance. Jason reached out and steadied her quickly before he kept moving while holding her hand in his own. Stella blushed slightly from the contact, but she did her best to control her emotions as she kept moving after Jason. Jason noticed the look on Stella’s face, but he was able to ignore it easily enough. Ever since the conversation that Stella and Jason had in the bedroom a while ago, there had been a strange tension between them. Stella had become more open about the way she felt, and she no longer did anything to hide how his touch or words affected her.
