Chapter 135: Tyler Gets Answers

The girls teleported to the apartment and frowned. The portal to Bahamut’s castle wasn’t there anymore. They weren’t worried but they had no way of reaching Tyler.

Tyler knocked on the throne room’s doors, which opened. Two guards kindly escorted him in then sprinted out of the room, ensuring the doors were locked.

"Who am I?" Tyler asked Bahamut and Asura politely.

"Tyler Rask. The same young man we reincarnated from the year 2026 just in a different body. You’re a young summoner with a limitless system," Bahamut answered calmly.

"Why did Athena visit me and why did I collapse?" He continued politely, but had some zip to his tone.

"You collapsed because you surpassed SSS and your body couldn’t handle it. Hopefully now that you’ve passed the 100 stat point mark in every category, nothing like that will happen again. The system likely couldn’t react in time to ensure you stayed upright," Asura said kindly with a smile.

"No one can hear us in this room, why can’t you just tell me who I am?" Tyler cried out anxiously.

"Only you know who you are, Tyler. You are a unique being. You could become a deranged soul polluted with darkness and use all of us to destroy whatever planet or planets you’d like. You could be like my sister, always scheming and using Eidolons to live a comfortable, easy life. Or, you could become more." Bahamut said calmly and sincerely.

"The aura is white and I have a system quest path of the righteous and now Athena visited me. I’m not just some human reincarnated from 2026. I can feel my body changing and this time it almost killed me. She kept talking about finding a balance. I don’t understand any of this, if anything, I could just have Nyxara turn me into a vampire and make things easier." Tyler said while running his hand through his hair.

"That is one path you could take," Asura said cheerfully. "One I don’t recommend, but one that would lead you to a life of happiness."

"What’s wrong with becoming a vampire?" Tyler asked with a raised eyebrow. He thought this was a logical choice because he was becoming their prince.

"Tyler, you’re still human." Bahamut said calmly. "But that won’t last forever. Let’s just say my wife and I didn’t choose you randomly. The system was created for a specific purpose. We don’t want to rule this realm forever."

"So you want me to take over for you? How would that work if the women I’m with aren’t Eidolon or goddesses and I’m not a god?" Tyler asked, completely taken aback by the thought of ruling an entire realm. Even overseeing the vampires was something he put in the far back corner of his mind.

"They wouldn’t have to be goddesses for the Eidolons to rule and respect them nor would you," Bahamut smiled.

"I have a feeling there is a but coming?" Tyler said nervously.

Bahamut chuckled. "Yes, but there are ways to become a god and for them to become goddesses. Everything is in the system Tyler. My wife designed it that way."

Tyler put his hand in his face. "How am I supposed to do that?"

"With these," Asura said, grabbing a silver box that contained four individual boxes, all in a different color. Blue, green, pink and red. "No peeking."

"So when I get married I slip on these rings and they’re magically given a system? Won’t there be side effects?" Tyler said with a flush face as he grabbed the box from Asura.

"Nothing major will happen but I would warn them beforehand. Otherwise they’ll be pretty shocked that they’ve learned a new ability on their wedding day."

"So I slide the ring on and they magically get a system. Then what?" Tyler asked, frustrated, but he remained polite.

"The ring will prick their finger and install the system into their DNA much like you with yours. It will likely be overwhelming, so make sure to keep them occupied. Give them a nice big kiss like they used to do on Earth or something," Asura said with a big smile and a small clap.

"Are they limitless like mine or how are they different?" Tyler asked excitedly. The nerves and frustration started to slip away as the bigger picture became more clear.

"They will also be limitless. They will be able to go beyond SSS when they are ready. It will not be as quick for them as it was for you. You are a summoner and they are not. None of them are tamers so the use of beasts won’t help them. They will have to level up naturally," Asura answered politely.

"Ok, so basically we have to save this planet then take over this realm? That’s the end goal?" Tyler asked enthusiastically.

"If it were only that simple." Bahamut said with a faint smile. "The first step is to save the planet, yes that is true. Whether you are human, Eidolon or god at that point will not matter. The same is true for your wives. They will go through their own unique trials in order to achieve their end goal of becoming a goddess."

"What if one of us doesn’t become a god or goddess?" Tyler asked nervously.

"Fear not. You are immortal and have all the time in the world as long as you do not die in battle. Even if one of you were to not reach that level you could still take over this realm for us and we could move on to Paradise and do as we’re told there." Bahamut smiled.

"Wait, that’s why Athena visited me. You already worked this out with her?" Tyler realized.

"We did. Zeus agreed. We aren’t to interfere with human matters so I shouldn’t be telling you any of this Tyler. If and when you become a god, well, you will have to rely on others, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves." Bahamut grinned.

"So, get married and they get a system. That’s pretty cool. I’ll become an Eidolon and potentially a god. How is that going to work, I’m going to summon myself?" Tyler laughed.

"I’m sure one day you’d like to have children, wouldn’t you?" Asura said with a wink.

"Oh..." Tyler said nervously. "Yes, but not for a while, especially if a war is coming."

"We are just answering your questions Tyler. None of this is going to happen overnight." Bahamut said in a relaxed tone.

"Well, everything seems to have happened so quickly. It’s only been 5 months and I’m already beyond SSS, I’m getting married in less than two days and everyone I’m marrying is at S or above. I’m guessing you don’t even measure time anymore?" Tyler asked with a shrug.

"No, we do not. But please, do not rush any of it. Take it step by step. Go get married and come visit us afterwards, ok?" Bahamut asked politely.

"Yeah, I can do that. Thank you for all of this information. Wait, how am I supposed to tell the girls about this if this is the only safe place to talk without the gods and goddesses listening?" Tyler asked, confused.

"You’re just explaining to them they have a new system and skill Tyler. Let the rest unfold naturally." Bahamut said while opening a portal behind Tyler. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

"Is there a way I can hide this box or something?" Tyler asked with a laugh. "I’m sure they are waiting."

"That’s why the portal goes to your bathroom," Bahamut laughed.

Tyler shook his head, waved and walked through the portal. He grabbed a towel and hid the box underneath the sink.

’Well, here goes nothing...’
