Jason recruits the powerful giantess Helga and the wealthy crime lord Victor Rodriguez into his Rulers. Helga expresses her fear of the impossibly strong Primordials, while Victor, traumatized by a past encounter, has been hiding and living a life of luxury. Jason confronts Victor, intending to recruit him despite his cowardice, and reveals his plan to face the Primordials with his father.

"If you refuse my command, I shall have you apprehended and confined within a high-security magical prison for the remainder of your existence. You are, after all, a notorious criminal. I have already confiscated all your company's assets, along with the illegal narcotics and weaponry that serve as irrefutable evidence. You are utterly ruined."

Victor's eyes widened in a comical display of shock, and he promptly began tugging at his hair, letting out a loud string of curses. Jason, meanwhile, merely offered an eye-roll. Following this exchange, Victor found himself with no alternative but to pledge his allegiance to Jason's guild. Consequently, Jason now successfully commanded all four Rulers within his ranks. The immediate objective for Jason was to elevate all three of them from SS Rank to TITAN Rank I before the year's conclusion. While every other prerequisite appeared manageable, this particular goal was poised to be the most arduous. Jason ensured that the Rulers were dispatched on a multitude of missions to accelerate their progression.

Gina's features softened into a smile as she recalled the diligent efforts Jason had invested over the preceding month. It dawned on her that she hadn't witnessed Jason enjoying more than two consecutive nights of sleep at home within the past thirty days. Jason would often remain awake for seventy hours or more during his work cycles. Whenever Jason managed to snatch a moment of respite, Gina made certain that no one dared to disturb him, as he was perpetually exhausted.

"Why is he sleeping on your lap!? He would undoubtedly find greater comfort resting on Ulyn’s lap instead!"

Gina emitted a soft chuckle upon hearing her spirit companion's disgruntled complaint. She explained to Ulyn that she was far too diminutive to serve as a suitable lap pillow for Jason!

"You have no comprehension of that! Do not dismiss me lightly, mortal! I am capable of achieving anything! I haven't had the opportunity to converse with Jason for a considerable period due to his incessant travels!"

Ulyn huffed, expressing her vexation, and Gina's smile turned wistful as she acknowledged the truth in her companion's words. Jason's current workload was so immense that neither Gina nor Ulyn could spend as much time with him as they desired. However, Gina understood the paramount importance of Jason's endeavors and held the conviction that their period of separation was transient. Therefore, she was more than content to lend her full support to Jason's grand strategy.

Yet, on a certain level, Jason's demanding schedule also presented a disguised blessing for Gina. This allowed her the opportune moments to engage in meditation and advance her Spirit Synchronization. Gina had been utilizing Jason's Alternate Dimension as a training ground, engaging in combat against some of Jason's Legion subordinates. In the past month alone, Gina had successfully elevated her spirit compatibility with Ulyn to a commendable 5%.

"My progress is sluggish, as I haven't encountered any true life-or-death confrontations. The skirmishes against the Legion subordinates are merely sparring matches, and I cannot derive the same benefits from such encounters. I yearn to venture out and engage in genuine combat once more, but circumstances prevent me from doing so. I am with child, and ensuring the safety of my unborn offspring is my utmost priority. Perhaps once the baby arrives and Jason concludes his missions, we might embark on another grand adventure together."

A tender smile bloomed across Gina's face as this thought solidified, and she resolved that this would indeed be their course of action. Gina was approximately three months into her pregnancy at this juncture. She had given Jason her solemn promise not to enter any dimensional gates unless he was present, confining her to sparring sessions with subordinates. Gina intended to fully recommit to her rigorous training after the baby's birth.

"You mentioned earlier that you had an announcement to make, is that correct?"

Gina was gently drawn from her contemplations as Janet abruptly interjected. At that moment, only Jason, Gina, Janet, and Mira were present aboard the jet. Maya was also expected to join them for the picnic, but she was attending school. Jason had assured them that he would arrange for Maya to join the picnic later via the shadows. Mira had initially expressed some hesitation about bringing Maya out of school solely for a picnic, but both Gina and Jason had insisted, emphasizing the need to convey significant news to their entire family! Jason had left Stella behind at their residence, entrusting her with the responsibility of safeguarding their home until his return. Janet found herself pondering the nature of this impending announcement, while Gina simply offered a reassuring smile and advised her that all would be revealed at the picnic.

"Kindly exercise a little patience for a few more hours. We shall disclose everything to you in due course."

Janet responded with a lighthearted chuckle.

"Are you perhaps going to reveal that you are pregnant or something along those lines?"

Gina simply emitted a soft laugh, offering no direct affirmation. Janet's eyebrows arched in surprise! While she felt a strong inclination to confirm her suspicion, Janet ultimately decided it would be best to await the official announcement. Shifting her focus, Janet's expression turned pensive as she posed a different question.

"Tell me, Gina, are you truly content with this arrangement? I... I mean, I am certainly not attempting to cast judgment upon you or anything similar! It is simply the nature of the relationship you share with Jason and those other women. There are two additional individuals involved in your romantic union, and I confess I struggle to comprehend how you find peace with this dynamic. Is this genuinely your heart's desire, or are you merely acquiescing to it in the belief that it will bring Jason happiness?"

With a hint of shyness painting her features, Janet posed her questions. Though Janet was two years Gina’s senior, Gina’s remarkable maturity, both emotionally and physically, led Janet to view her as an older sister. This perception made Janet feel a twinge of embarrassment as she inquired. Learning of the peculiar arrangement between Jason, Gina, Riyala, and Hesabeth, Janet couldn't help but question if this was truly Gina's desire. Janet doubted her own ability to accept her boyfriend being involved with other women.

Gina simply offered a smile.

"I understand it seems rather unconventional, but when has Jason and my relationship ever followed a normal path? I genuinely harbor no ill feelings towards the other women. Regardless of their affection for Jason, or his for them, I am secure in the knowledge that he loves me the most."

"But aren't you concerned one of them might try to claim him for themselves?"

Gina let out a soft laugh.

"No, no, that is an impossibility. The world would end before another woman could wrest Jason from me. That’s the extent of my faith in him. Furthermore, we've discussed this, and we've all reached an amicable understanding. Also, I suppose… dealing with Jason alone in bed is a bit of a challenge for me."

Gina’s face flushed a deep crimson as she uttered the last part, her hand instinctively covering her mouth with the shy mannerism of a schoolgirl sharing secrets. Janet’s own cheeks began to burn, her mind conjuring images of Jason’s encounters with Gina! Gina was a superhuman, and Janet knew superhumans possessed extraordinary stamina! Janet had only possessed her own powers for a few months, and despite not diligently training, she already found herself with more stamina than she could manage! Gina, however, had been a superhuman for a much longer period and was recognized as one of the most potent superhumans in existence! Just how demanding could Jason be for someone like Gina to admit he was overwhelming in intimacy!? Janet's face grew hotter as she spoke.

"Oh, s-so you permitted those women to join you in bed? I-Is Jason truly that… prodigious?"

"A-A bit, yes. Jason's stamina is indeed unbelievable, but since they joined, managing him at night has become somewhat easier. Yet, that wasn’t the sole reason for their inclusion. I know they love him, and I know he cares for them. I could have kept Jason entirely to myself if I’d wished, but I see no purpose in such an action. Perhaps I am peculiar, but I find nothing objectionable about having other women in our relationship."

"Oh…"
