"So this is Tara and that is Lilith—someone like Scáthach who is from another realm, huh~"
As Karna introduced Tara and Lilith to his fiancées, the five girls regarded them with curiosity and intrigue. They had already known Karna as a remarkable and honorable warrior. Still, the presence of Tara and Lilith added a layer of complexity and mystery to their understanding of their fiancé.
Kamini, the girl with fiery red hair, spoke with fascination. "Tara, you're just as beautiful as Karna described you."
Tara smiled warmly at Kamini's compliment, appreciating the girl's curiosity. "Thank you, Kamini. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Brinda, the girl with white eyes and a slight tint of lavender to them, studied Lilith with a thoughtful gaze. "Lilith, your presence is... intriguing. Karna has mentioned that you are from another realm. Can you tell us more about it?"
Lilith, who exuded an otherworldly aura, regarded Brinda with a gentle smile. "I come from a realm known as the 'Hell'—much like Naraka of this world but far different. It's a place that often carries a dark reputation, but like any realm, it has its complexities and diverse inhabitants. And I was 'Queen' of that realm before a bastard came and defeated me and took control of my realm for his personal childish revenge."
As Lilith shared a glimpse of her origins and the trials she had faced in her own realm, the girls couldn't help but feel a mixture of sympathy and intrigue. It was evident that Lilith's past held deep complexities and struggles, and her resilience was something to be admired.
"Who was he? This person who dared to challenge you," Mandodari, the girl with golden eyes, asked, her curiosity piqued.
Lilith's expression darkened slightly as she mentioned her adversary. "His name is Lucifer Morningstar, well Samael to be exact. He was an ambitious archangel who sought to challenge the order of Heaven and Hell. My realm, the 'Hell,' was just one of his many conquests. But that is a story for another time."
Gasp
"K-Karna," x4
Kamini, Kali, Brinda, and Draupadi gasped at the mention of the name 'Lucifer' and collectively looked at Karna for answers.
Karna nodded in response to their gasps and wide-eyed expressions. "Yes, it's the same Lucifer, also known as Samael. He is currently in the kingdom of Anga, and I intend to confront him about his actions."
Kamini's eyes were filled with concern as she spoke, "Karna, that's dangerous! Lucifer is a formidable adversary. Please be careful."
Karna appreciated their concern and reassured them, "I understand the risks, my loves, but I cannot let Lucifer roam Anga after hearing what he did in hell and the torment he caused Lilith. It's important to address his actions and prevent any further chaos. I promise to take all necessary precautions to ensure my safety."
Brinda, the girl with lavender-tinted white eyes, spoke with determination. "We'll support you, Karna. You're not alone in this."
The other girls—Kamini, Kali, Scáthach, and Mandodari—echoed Brinda's sentiment, expressing their unwavering support for Karna. They had all faced challenges and adversities together, and their bond was unbreakable.
Tara, who had been observing the interaction, was touched by the strong bond between Karna and his fiancées. She recognized the depth of their connection and the trust they held in each other.
"I'm honored to have met all of you," Tara said with a smile. "Karna's strength and character are truly remarkable, and it's evident that he is surrounded by remarkable individuals as well."
Karna nodded in agreement, appreciating Tara's words. "Thank you, Tara. I'm truly blessed to have these wonderful women in my life."
...
After some days, as Karna and his fiancées returned to the kingdom of Anga, their arrival didn't go unnoticed. The people of Anga, who had been eagerly awaiting their return, greeted them with celebrations and expressions of joy. It was a heartwarming welcome, and Karna and his fiancées were deeply touched by the warmth of their subjects.
Karna addressed the people of Anga, standing alongside his fiancées, Tara, and Lilith. "My dear subjects of Anga, I want to thank you for your unwavering support and patience. It is an honor to stand before you with my fiancées."
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, their loyalty to Karna evident. The union of their beloved ruler with these remarkable women was a source of great pride for the people of Anga.
Currently, Karna was sitting on a chair in his chambers looking at the system prompt in front of his face.

[Ding! Random Boon Activation]
[...]
[You have acquired the boon "That none shall be equal in all of the three worlds"]
Karna couldn't help but be taken aback by the enigmatic nature of the boon he had received. "That none shall be equal in all of the three worlds" was a cryptic statement, and he needed more information to understand its implications.
Karna mentally inquired about the system for further details about the boon. "System, can you provide more information about the boon 'That none shall be equal in all of the three worlds'? What does it mean, and what are its effects?"
{The boon 'That none shall be equal in all of the three worlds' bestows upon you a unique and unparalleled status across the three realms—Heaven, Earth, and Hell. It signifies that you are destined to be a singular and extraordinary existence, without any equal in all three worlds. This boon grants you several benefits:
[1. Supreme Authority: You hold supreme authority and recognition in Heaven, Earth, and Hell. Your words and actions carry immense weight, and other beings, regardless of their status, must acknowledge your authority.]
[2. Unrivaled Influence: Your presence alone can affect the balance and dynamics of the three realms. Your influence can shape events and destinies.]
[3. Cosmic Harmony: Your existence is harmonized with the fundamental forces that govern the three worlds, granting you a unique understanding and mastery over the cosmic order.]
[4. Multiversal Knowledge: You have access to knowledge and wisdom that transcends individual realms, allowing you to navigate the complexities of Heaven, Earth, and Hell with ease.]
[5. Universal Respect: Beings from all three realms, including deities, demons, and mortals, will acknowledge your status and offer their respect and support.]
[6. Aid of the Three Realms: You may call upon the aid and resources of Heaven, Earth, and Hell in your endeavors, as your actions are considered of great significance to the balance of the cosmos.]
[7. Immunity to Divine Retribution: You are shielded from the wrath or retribution of divine or infernal entities. Your actions are beyond their judgment.]
[8. Legacy of the Three Worlds: You inherit the legacies of the three realms, allowing you to tap into their unique abilities and powers when necessary.]
[Note: Most of the benefits will only work if the host is stronger than the entities within the three realms. The boon ensures that you are a transcendent figure in the cosmic order, but your abilities and influence are subject to your own strength and wisdom.]}
