Son of the Hero King

When Theresa finally came to herself, she immediately noticed the barrier surrounding her, seemingly isolating her from the world.

“Congratulations!” Sol’s voice reached her before a bout of confusion could assault her mind about the purpose of the protective barrier. A sigh of relief escaped her as she saw the barrier crumbling before her, giving her access to reality.

The sigh was followed by a radiant smile, “Thank you.” She understood that Sol had placed the barrier to protect her and ensure no one could disturb her epiphany.

“This is the least he could do after everything you have done and are doing for Lustburg.” On the side, Lilith chuckled and approached the dwarf before lifting her up like a child and hugging her.

“Congratulations.”

Theresa’s eyes opened wide in shock at the totally unexpected display of affection. For good reason too as Lilith was not known for showing much affection.

“Thanks.” But her surprise was short-lived as she hugged her friend back. Ascending to the King realm was unexpected but a welcomed change, if she had to be honest.

She had always felt the limitation of her mind so the power boost was definitely welcome.

“So, do you have a good feel of what you can do?” Sol asked with curiosity to which Theresa answered with a shrug.

“I am a little vague on that front but my power is based on the concept of Creation. I think…”

She mused a little before tapping Lilith's shoulder, prompting her to free the dwarven woman. Once her feet landed on the ground, she walked toward a slab of metal and inspected it carefully.

Then, with a thought, sparks of zapping lighting flew everywhere before the slab vanished and a handleless short sword took its place.

Theresa looked at the blade silently and swung it left and right before concluding,

“For now. It seems like I can manipulate the structure of the object I hold.” She stopped for an instant, organizing her mind on the conclusion. “I do not think I can create things out of nothing at the moment. But I think with higher mastery I should be able to manifest any construct as long as I have enough understanding about its structure.”

Sol raised an eyebrow and praised her generously, “This is very impressive.”

“Heheheh, right!? Even now, I can feel new ideas popping up in my mind constantly. This will help me save so much time!” Theresa laughed with pure joy, glee coloring her face.

Sol admired her craftswoman spirit. Even now, all she could think about was her next creation and how to use her powers to implement her imagination.

Still, her power was indeed very impressive. More than his initial estimations even. If he started analyzing this power, he might be able to duplicate it but it would certainly not be an easy task.

But I don’t need to analyze it the normal way now, do I?

Theresa becoming a King had already surprised him greatly, but the nature of her powers simply blew his mind away.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Sadly, I don’t have much knowledge when it comes to science. He mused despondently. If he could he would share all the information he had about science from Earth but all his knowledge was superficial at best.

He nodded to himself, his mind churning at unimaginable speeds as he processed the ramifications of Theresa’s powers and the advantage they brought with them.

More than anything,

“Say, do you wish to become a goddess?”

“Oh?”

Theresa and Lilith immediately shot looks of surprise at Sol. For varying reasons.

“Sol… are you finally…?” Lilith asked hesitantly.

“Indeed. I believe I have the final piece to truly set the base for my dimension to reach the next level.”

His power was Balance. What he needed more than anything else was stability and now Theresa brought with her the stability he had been desperately searching for.

Creation and Destruction. Time and Space. Life and Death.

The three most important Cycles for the stable functioning of an ideal dimension were now set in stone. He even had access to the four elements.

This was more than enough for him to set the perfect foundation for his dimension. If he just proceeded with these balancing concepts, he was sure his dimension could easily accommodate the birth of multiple Demigods and eventual gods with no problems.

I won’t have to support everything alone.

His Concept was all-encompassing but having help was definitely welcome.

Theresa was a little confused about Sol’s proposal. However, seeing Lilith’s reaction, she understood that Sol was being serious.

“I always knew I had a godly disposition.” She grinned, causing Sol to laugh out loud. He knew that a woman with a devil-may-care attitude like Theresa would immediately be on board.

“You will have to move in my dimension once I am ready. But it will not take long. I just have to find one last person.”

He thought about Dawn. From what he knew, she had both the authority of Night and Day coexisting in her being. Even though her concepts were not exactly essential for his plans, why reject something that was basically handed to him on a silver platter?

Though I wonder if I can convince her.

Sol grimaced while thinking about the complicated relationship tying him to Dawn.

As for Theresa, she started packing all the documents she had been working on, breaking Sol’s reverie.

“So, even though I fear to ask… what exactly have you been working on?” He knew that Theresa could be… dangerous if left unchecked so he wanted to be aware of her plans, all the know-how and the sort.

“Nothing really. Just… I was wondering. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could make our own flying castle or some flying cavalry? Just think about it. All angels can fly, right? And in Lustburg only the Wyvern Knights can fly. So what if we could make it so the Rangers could fly or even better… Create a carrier for even normal humans to fly freely.”

Sol’s eyebrow arched in response to her proposal. Was Theresa thinking about creating planes?

“Then, I started wondering just how much energy would be needed to make something so big fly at such altitude. We would also need an energy shield to avoid them becoming simple targets.” The more Theresa spoke the more excited she became.

“So, I thought about energy. How to condense and convert mana into a clear focused source of energy or if there was anything that could replace it. The mana crystal would be great but I wanted something that was easier to reproduce and I got some ideas thanks to Kali.”

Theresa took the last of the document on the ground, her eyes gleaming dangerously as she looked at it, “Then I thought… All such condensed energy should be highly volatile, right? What if… and I really mean it… What if we could condense it even more? Increase the volatility, increase the energy. Then… Just watch as everything explodes.”

She gazed at Sol, “Just how powerful that explosion could be? Would it be enough to kill a Duke? A King? Could enough condensed energy be enough to even kill a Demigod?”

She chuckled darkly, “I believe it would be impossible to kill a demigod with just this much energy. But a King? It should be theoretically possible. I just need the right formula. What I have now can only erase a city. It’s definitely not enough to kill a King.”

Looking at Theresa proffering such scary words, Sol decided here that he would do everything to keep Theresa as a friend rather than an enemy.

This woman definitely had a screw, or a dozen, loose somewhere in the head.
