3RD PERSON POV

Jed:........

Luu Luu: He's the one! I know it!

Celestine: But he doesn't carry a weapon-

Y/N summoned a blade to his side as she falters.

Celestine: I see.

*WHOOSH*

Salem: I guess I have time to be here.

Hinami:.....*weirded* They look wei-

Ryuoko: I know.

Jed: These are the guests I will be bringing.

Manny/Pochita: *ARF*

Jed: I can assure you my companions at my feet are well behaved.

Jerry/Daisy: *nod*

Celestine: I see. Regardless, I would like to thank you for saving the entirety of Eostia, and welcome to the Victory feast. Please head this way.

They followed her through the gates and castle, people cheering for Jed as he looks at everyone, seeing their happy faces.

???: WE LOVE YOU JED!!!!!!!!!!

Jed: They know my name?

Luu Luu: Word spreads quickly, and is that really your weapon?

Jed: I actually don't use a weapon most of the time.

Celestine: Magic perhaps?

Jed: And more.

She nods as they head into a courtyard within the castle, where the women were startled to see Jed.

Prim: W-Who's he?

Alicia: Celestine! Is he an intrud-

Celestine: The one that repelled the dark forces by himself yes he is.

Maia: How do we know he can be trusted?! Look what happened to-

Hinami: Hmph! Dad won't have done such mean things like those men!

Maia was taken aback by the kid defending Jed as he pats her head.

Maia: Dad?........I see. I apologize, but I was merely wary.

Jed: It's fine. I understand how you feel.....

Voices zoomed through his ears as he had another flashback-

*TAP*

Hinami: Dad you there?

Jed: Yeah.

Kaguya: They seem quite attached to each other.

Scarlet Queen: 'Indecent worms....'

*BOINK*

Scarlet Queen: OW!

Jed: I can hear you insulting them.

Scarlet Queen: *grumble* Fine......

The princesses watched them carefully as they head to the conference room to talk.

Later

Jed:....

Celestine: A-A Goddess? E-Embodiment of chaos? O-Of other worlds?

Jed was chowing down everything on the table respectively, Alicia disgusted though intrigued as he didn't leave a single mess as Scarlet Queen introduces herself.

Scarlet Queen: That is all. And Jed here will be my future husband soon after we get to know each other for a while.

Celestine: And who might you be?

Jed: Jed, an immortal human.

Alicia: Immortal?

Jed: My body instantaneously adapts to any form of harm that will befall me potentially resulting in death and I can regenerate from any attack, even attacks that are meant to sever your soul or erase your very existence conceptually.

Kaguya: Wow.....no wonder you couldn't be hurt.

Jed:.........Yeah.....no wonder I can't get hurt.

They were concerned, seeing the hollow look in his eyes though he quietly eats.

Later

Olga: So the hero that saved all of Eostia is here today?

Celestine: Indeed.

More people from around Eostia visited Geofu, hearing the hero that saved them would be there with some guests as they looked around the area.

Mei Mei: Eh?

Prim: You have a bunny?

She held Jed's bunny, seeing it calm and not squirming as Jed held Manny and Pochita.

Jed: Daisy's immortal along with Jerry, Pochita...and I made Manny immortal too.

Prim: I didn't know you had pets like these.

Jed: I prefer companion but it's fine.

Luu Luu: Aw~ It's actually kind of sweet~

Daisy: ???

Daisy's ears perk up, and she jumps into Jed's arms as he finds people approaching him.

Olga: 'I didn't expect he'd look like this. Scarred, tall, handsome and a bit rugged....looks old too.' Hello.

Jed: Hello.

Chloe: When one meets the queen, you should give her the respect she deserves.

Jed: I don't think I can.

Jerry held onto his back, and the three pets refused to jump off of him.

Jed: My name's Jed.

Chloe: Chloe. As an experienced warrior of many decades, you should know-

Jed: Decades?

Chloe: You must be in your 40s right?

Jed: I'm 28.

Everyone: TWENTY EIGHT?!

Prim: I.....what happened?

Jed: A lot. I don't like talking about it-

???: Welcome. Would you like to eat?

Jed, having already ate dinner quickly walks out of there and left them to chat and eat.

Later

EMOTION INHIBITOR BROKEN: 50%

Jed: Ha......

Ryuoko: It's a beautiful night isn't it?

They see the night sky on the castle walls, hands holding though he turns his head.

Jed: Ryuoko.......

Ryuoko: Yes-

*KISS*

Her eyes widen as Jed presses his lips against hers, giving her a gentle kiss as she struggled to move.

Jed: Sorry. You just remind me a lot of my former wife Eden.

Ryuoko: It's alright. I......understand the feeling of losing your loved one.

Jed: Perhaps......we can be together?

Ryuoko: *shy* I really don't mind. I......I admit I had felt something for you.

Jed: I don't know why......but I always had this feeling with you. Like I can be safe with you. Like....I can trust you.....can we kiss again?

She thought for a moment before nodding as they kiss.

Ryuoko: 'This is a rather pleasant feeling. My former husband....I never had feelings so strong even for him before.

Jed: 'I don't know what I'm feeling......but perhaps.....perhaps I can enjoy this feeling when I'm with her-

They heard footsteps and turn to find Artoria and Hinami taking dozens of photos at rapid succession.

Jed: 'I love this feeling-'

Hinami: HE FINALLY SMILED!

Immediately his other girlfriends rushed out, gasping at the slight smile on his face.

Artoria: FINALLY!

Makima: How does it feel?

Jed: It feels good......to be praised. It feels good to be recognized......to be cared for. It feels......quite nice.

EMOTION INHIBITOR BROKEN: 75%

The cracks in his heart were beginning to heal, his colors more vibrant than ever as he saw a group of people that he could genuinely enjoy his time with.

Y/N: I.....I feel........I-I feel happ-

TAKE THEM

*WHOOSH*

They all disappear all of a sudden, leaving the Scarlet Queen and Jed alone.

Scarlet Queen:.......

Meanwhile

???: Hehe.....this will be fun~

Hinami was shaking, seeing the millions of monsters and clones surrounding them.

Salem: STAY BACK! ALL OF-

Laughing was heard across the entire void they were in, everyone frozen in fear as a red portal opens.

???: WHAT?! HOW ARE YOU HERE- S-STAY BACK Y/N! WE'LL KILL THEM AND EDEN-

*BOOM*

The whole plain of existence shatters, killing everyone except for Jed and those with him though he froze in space.

Jed: Eden?

Makima: Your late wife?

Scarlet Queen: I got something-

VISION

Scarlet King(2): At last......another multiverse to conquer. My partner sadly has been killed by his female counterpart.

WOTH: But this is another universe yet useful to us.

They both viewed the lowly humans beneath them along with others as Scarlet King turns around.

Scarlet King: You have done well to birth my greatest weapons in the past 4 years my wives. Especially you...

Scarlet King(2): Eden.....if it wasn't for your death, I could've not had my greatest weapon-

*CRACK*

The barrier around the universe begins to crack, shocking everyone as several leviathans frantically ran up to the king.

???: FATHER! 99.99% OF ALL OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS HAVE BEEN ANNIHILATED IN THE PAST MINUTES!

Scarlet: Wha- IMPOSSIBLE!

WOTH: 'MY ENERGY IS FADING- no.....'

The female eldritch god had a horrified look on her face as she looks up to the crack in the barrier.

WOTH: 'IT CAN'T BE! HE SHOULDN'T HAVE FOUND US! THOSE DAMN IDIOTS! THEY TRIED TO ANGER HI-'
