Hearing Soraka's words, Faen shook his head, tightened his belt, and said, "It's mainly just to satisfy my own desire to conquer. There's no other specific need. But since you brought it up..."
Rubbing his chin, Faen asked, "Can the stuff I pumped inside you implant?"
"Implant? Do you mean pregnancy?" Soraka asked.
Faen nodded, then explained, "Although I have many girls by my side, the vast majority of them are just mortals. Even if they take in a lot, they usually just absorb the essence as nutrients. While there are some whose life-order can withstand mine, I don't have any plans to have children with them right now. You are the second person I've met whose life-order is close to mine, so I just wanted to confirm."
Saying this, Faen felt a bit helpless.
In terms of life-order, girls like Zeri and Caitlyn, having been "developed" by Faen early on, had thoughts of getting pregnant early as well. But restricted by their own life-orders, no matter how much Faen pumped into them, they could only absorb it as nutrients. In fact, they had to absorb it slowly to avoid being harmed by an overdose of potent energy.
While Janna and Syndra were close to Faen in life-order, Janna, as the Wind of Change, wasn't a conventional biological entity. The current Faen was a half-material, half-spiritual lifeform. Although Janna, as a pure spiritual entity, possessed the ability to conceive, she ultimately lacked a physical incarnation in the Material Realm. Considering the risks involved, he had to abandon the idea.
Syndra was a perfect match, and even she herself harbored similar thoughts. Though it sounded strange, the thousands of years of waiting in the Dreaming Pool had clearly caused some issues with Syndra's mindset. Knowing her teacher's personality and realizing that monopolizing him was highly unlikely, she had planned from the moment she woke up to strike preemptively by birthing a precious daughter, thereby establishing herself as the "first wife" of the household.
It was just a pity that, burdened by her new and old grudges against the Spirit of Ionia, the current Syndra wasn't focused on getting pregnant. Even if she was so horny that her juices were flowing like a river, and Faen, Riven, and Irelia were having a threesome right in front of her, she forced herself not to join in just to drag Karma down with her. She only used her mouth for basic relief when she absolutely couldn't take it anymore, waiting for a single opportunity to make Karma fall beyond the point of no return.
However, judging by the current situation, although Karma—who was forcibly maintaining her calm through magic—was slightly affected, she was generally keeping it under control. She wasn't like Syndra, whose accumulated lust recently caused her to emit waves of female pheromones every time Faen got close, like a beast in heat craving to be stuffed, pumped full, and violated by her lover...
Under these circumstances, anyone with eyes could see that corrupting Karma through simple lust accumulation wouldn't be easy, and success was still a long way off. To that end, Syndra had expressed her intent to find a way to intensify the sensory resonance ritual, plotting god-knows-what new scheme.
On the other hand, after hearing Faen's question, Soraka closed her eyes and sensed her body briefly before nodding. "There shouldn't be any problem. In fact, I can feel your life essence constantly attempting to implant. However, I wasn't sure of your thoughts. If you want, I can begin attempting it right now... Although I haven't prepared myself to be a mother yet, if that is the destiny of this body, I will learn and master it as quickly as possible. So, do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
Soraka looked at Faen peacefully.
"A daughter!" Faen answered without hesitation.
"But speaking of which..." Smacking his lips, Faen looked at Soraka and asked, "What are your thoughts on your daughter's partners?"
Hearing this, Soraka blinked, looked at Faen, and after a moment, sighed somewhat helplessly. "If our daughter manages to be born, then she will be a part of Runeterra. As long as it is a decision she makes herself, I will not interfere with the destiny a life of this world is meant to have."
"Oh, I see. Then there's no problem," Faen nodded. In the past, Faen might have still been bound by some moral constraints. But after using Ashlesh's power for so long, Faen's own humanity was gradually evolving toward a higher tier of divinity under the demon's neutralizing influence. Influenced by the mythologies of his past life, Faen's attitude toward the opposite sex around him was growing closer to that of Zeus in Greek mythology.
As for his attitude toward the same sex—get lost.
Taking the essence and discarding the dregs; that was just how it was.
With these thoughts, Faen stood up and led Soraka outside. Along the way, he couldn't resist slapping her ass. Watching those meaty cheeks jiggle under his slap, Faen felt a surge of fond affection. Slipping his hand into her panties to play with her using his fingers, he remarked, "I originally wondered if your hooves would get in the way of certain doggy-style positions, but I didn't expect it to actually feel unbelievably good when put to use."
"Perhaps being used by you more conveniently and comfortably is the destiny bestowed upon this body." Hearing this, Soraka's expression remained unchanged. She simply looked at Faen gently and said peacefully, "In fact, I can truly feel that my current body is transforming to better adapt to your form, and has already prepared to nurture life for you. Mhm, if you find my feet unsightly, I can try reshaping them using Celestial energy."
"Oh? Celestial energy has that kind of capability?" Faen asked in surprise.
"Making a certain degree of change isn't a problem." Saying this, Soraka paused, then looked at Faen thoughtfully. "I just didn't expect this kind of behavior to be so effective for you. Ashlesh's corruption has retreated by more than half almost instantly."
"That's all thanks to you." Faen gave her a thumbs-up.
Soraka paid it no mind, simply thinking for a moment before saying, "More than that, I am curious to know if other Aspects copulating with you and satisfying your needs could further reinforce the seal."
"Um... can you contact them?" Faen asked with a completely serious and solemn face.
"I can, but I am not certain of their thoughts," Soraka shook her head. "Every star possesses its own will and mind."
"Then let's give it a try. How will we know if we don't try? Right?" Faen's face was the picture of sincere earnestness.
