Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang was pulled to the elevator, "What's wrong?" He asked as the elevator went up. He was at ease that the God Rank had not come yet, but their actions made him worried. The four girls did not say anything until they arrived at their destination, the 25th floor. That was his room, and he wondered why they were bringing him here.

"Can you tell me already?" He asked again as he stepped out of the elevator. But then he noticed all the girls were there as he stepped out of the elevator. They brightened at his return, but none of them came to him for a hug as if they were making a path for him to go through.

Li Na immediately pulled him again toward his room where the door was opened. The other girls followed him into the room, and he was led to the bedroom. Then he realized why they brought him in a hurry as he saw the woman on the bed.

Ava was on the bed, and there were three women in nurse uniforms. The timing could not be more perfect as his firstborn was about to be born. The girls pushed him next to the bed where Ava could see him. She tried to reach him, and he grabbed her hands. Her hands were sweating, and he held her hands tightly. All of a sudden he felt nervous, panicking.

Ava smiled and caressed his hand. That put him at ease for a moment until she could not do it anymore. She was in pain, her face scrunched, and he panicked again. His mind blanked for a moment, 'What should I do?' He could not utter that word in his panic.

The only voice that entered his ears was Ava's pained groan. He could not hear anything else but her voice. The nervousness intensified as Ava groaned louder. He thought of reducing the pain, but he did not know how. He did not want to do anything recklessly either in case he would harm the baby. In his panic attack, he just looked at Ava's face.

He felt like it lasted longer than the battle against the bonus wave during his Demi-God Rank's trial. He did not know how long it had been, but then he stopped hearing Ava's voice. The first thing he did was to check on her and was relieved that she was fine. Then he heard a cry, a baby cry.

Tang Shaoyang subconsciously turned toward the cry. One of the nurses was cleaning the baby, and his eyes locked on the baby. The baby cried, and the nurse smiled until one of them approached him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty~ It's a girl!" The nurse showed the baby to him. The baby cried, and she had her eyes opened. From what he knew, a baby was born with their eyes closed.

"Isn't she supposed to have her eyes closed?" Tang Shaoyang asked nervously, thinking there was something weird with his baby.

"If it was before The Game then yes. That's a normal condition, but not after The Game. I have delivered hundreds of babies, and most of them have their eyes open. It's normal, and the baby is healthy, Your Majesty," The nurse explained with a smile, "Do you want to carry her, Your Majesty?"

"Uh… Ah… Ah, yes… yes," It showed how nervous he was. He tried to copy the nurse's hand, but he was too nervous to do it properly until one of the nurses helped him.

Tang Shaoyang received the baby and his body was stiff from the nervousness. He was nervous that he might crush her. To his surprise, she stopped crying when she was in his hand. She had her eyes opened, looking toward his face. She inherited his purple eyes, and her eyes were a little bit pointy which inherited her mother's trait. He tried to touch her plump cheek, and to his surprise, she caught her index finger and smiled. It seemed his little girl recognized him for some reason.

"It seems I have a magical baby," It was a surprise that his little girl was born with her eyes open already. He was even more surprised that she caught her finger.

"Can I see her?" Ava said weakly.

Tang Shaoyang nodded his head and slowly and carefully brought the baby to the bed. He sat next to her and let her see her mother. The baby looked toward the new face, and the baby showed her toothless mouth, happy to see her mother. That got even weirder than the baby he knew about.

"Is this normal?" Tang Shaoyang could not help but ask Ava. Ava had given birth to three children. She had more experience than him, and he wondered if her children also acted like this when they were born.

"What are you talking about? Of course, our baby is normal," Ava just shook her head, smiling happily, and looked at the baby, "Have you thought of a name for our daughter?"

Tang Shaoyang froze for a moment before shaking his head. He was too busy leveling up, killing monsters and people. He never thought of a name, especially when he did not know if it was a girl or a boy, "Do you trust my naming skill? I name my first companion Pride and my second companion Greed. Then I named my dragon Wrath. Do you trust my naming sense?" He let out a chuckle in the end.

"You are her father, so of course, you should name your daughter. However, think slowly, you don't need to be in a hurry. Remember, your daughter will resent you later on if you give her a bad name," Ava smiled at the end, "Get a good name if you don't want your daughter to hate you."

Tang Shaoyang felt like a bigger burden on his chest after another burden disappeared. It was a relief that her daughter was born safely, but now he had to think of a good name if he did not want her daughter to hate him for a weird name. The atmosphere in the room was good with the baby's presence. The other girls came closer to look at the baby.

The girls were busy introducing themselves, telling his daughter what she should call them, and so on. It was a good fifteen minutes until the baby was tired and they let the baby rest next to her mother while everyone left the room.

The good atmosphere disappeared as soon as he came out of the room. He felt tight in his chest as he realized the stake of the battle was more than just his life. Now he had a daughter as well, and her fate was clear if he died. Either she became an experiment subject for his bloodline or got killed. The former was the worst, and he had to ensure that nothing above happened to his newborn, "I want to go check the split!"

Tang Shaoyang thought he had Karoen, and The Void Knight might help him to predict where the God Rank came down. After checking the split, he had to fulfill his other promise.

"Don't you want to take a rest for a moment?" Zhang Mengyao asked in a concerned tone. The other girls also cast a concerned gaze on him.

"I will take my rest after ensuring when they will come," He shook his head and headed toward the elevator, "I will leave alone for now. I will send you a message later if I can confirm their arrival." He went up to the rooftop and summoned Karoen.

Karoen did not ask Tang Shaoyang why he was summoned as he immediately flew up and looked up at the rupture, "This is my first time seeing the rupture, and it will take a while to find out anything about it."

Tang Shaoyang then summoned Vandir the Death King, "It's time to fulfill our promise." The promise he thought about was a promise to Vandir about his body.

"How are you going to die? As your spirit, I can't kill you," Vandir wondered.

Tang Shaoyang did not say anything, taking out the sword, he cut his own neck. He did not feel any pain as his vision blurred. The other spirits could not react to what he did, and everyone gasped at the last moment.

Tang Shaoyang returned to the familiar void with a message in front of his eyes.

[Do you want to activate Seven Souls? Yes/No?]

He did not need to wait like before as he immediately activated Seven Souls. A portal formed in front of him, and he came out of the void. He came out stark naked, with nothing on his body. He then looked to the side and saw his dead body. It was weird for sure to look at his own dead body.

Tang Shaoyang immediately stored the body in inventory before the others could see. He already heard Zara and Avyn, screaming at him in his head for slicing his own head. He summoned Karoen for the second time as Karoen was automatically getting recalled after using Seven Souls.

"I know what I do. Look at my stats!" Tang Shaoyang opened his window status and all his attributes were increased by ten percent.
