A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1175: Donʼt Worry Beautiful

Archer was guided around Deepsea One where Reed explained all its functions which impressed him. Once the tour was over, the commander turned to him with a curious expression before asking, ”Why do you fight so hard for us, your Majesty?”

He looked at the older man for a few seconds as he answered, ”I remember a verse from a famous book. It says I heard the voice of a dying goddess, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will save my people? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”ʼ

Reedʼs eyes gleamed with a newfound respect as he spoke, ”Youʼre here to save us?”

Archer met his gaze firmly, his voice steady with conviction. ”Yes. Look at what Iʼve done for our people, Commander. Iʼve given them a home, warmth in the winter, and food to fill their bellies. Iʼve ensured their children donʼt go hungry while half the world struggles to survive.”ʼ After speaking, he turned to watch the workers bustling about their duties. ”I will bring peace to this world, Reed. You will bear witness to a united Thrylos, a land where no child will suffer under my rule. They will have the chance to grow, to follow their dreams, free from the pain I endured, free from the abuse that shaped my past.”

When the older man heard this, he dropped to one knee and spoke with reverence, ”May I write about you, Your Majesty? The average person needs to know that youʼre unlike any ruler that has come before.”

Archer stood there, a look of quiet confusion crossing his face as he nodded, unaware of the impact the book would have on the world. It would shape the minds of children for generations, becoming one of the most widely read works in Thrylos alongside the Fireheart Tomes.

”Tell the truth, even if it makes me look like a villain, Reed,” Archer said with a heavy sigh, his voice carrying a rare honesty. ”Iʼm not a perfect king, nor a perfect husband, but thatʼs life. We all have our flaws.”

He paused, his gaze turning distant as he reflected on his life and the responsibility he carried. ”Make certain people know the truth.”ʼ

When the older man heard Archerʼs words, he nodded vigorously, almost comically, like a chicken, before saluting and rushing off. Archer couldnʼt help but chuckle at the sight, shaking his head with a smile.

Seconds later, he used the tattoo to teleport to the older woman who was fighting a crab monster. Maryʼs long body snaked around the creature and quickly crushed it with ease as her body constricted around it.

His excitement soared while watching her fight. She let out an earth-shaking roar before flinging the injured crab in his direction as her voice echoed in his mind, ʼCapture this guyʼs husband. Heʼs strong.ʼ

Archer chuckled when hearing this and used Blink to appear in front of the struggling monster. He grinned at it while speaking, ”I can heal you, but in return, you and your kind will serve me and Iʼll make sure you grow stronger.”

Following that, he scanned the thing to find out what it was.

[Queen Trench Crab]

[Rank SS]

ʼOh shit, sheʼs right!ʼ he thought in surprise.

ʼYes, if we can grow stronger, that demoness wonʼt harm us,ʼ a womanʼs voice echoed out.

Archer started laughing before casting Aurora Healing on the Trench Crab while opening a portal to the sea that he created in the Domain just as Mary appeared beside him. Her sudden appearance caused the monster to let out a screech.

”Now wait until you see how many there are,” she said with a big smile. ”Youʼre going to be shocked.”

When the older woman finished speaking, the ground began shaking as millions of Trench Crabs poured out of the surrounding landscape. The queen signaled for them to enter the Domain which they did.

Archer and Mary floated up while seeing the wave of monsters causing him to think, ʼSo many, this could be another food source.ʼ

Following that, it took a couple of hours for the Trench Crab swarm to make a home in the Domainsʼ sea. Once that was done, the older woman moved away before transforming into her Nameless Thing form.

He appeared on her head as she started swimming through the deep sea. Maryʼs voice sounded in his mind, ”Thereʼs a place I want to show you, handsome, do you mind?ʼ

”Thatʼs fine, I want to spend time with you so the offer is perfect,” Archer replied while getting comfortable.

Mary glided through the depths. The silence between them was peaceful. Archerʼs eyes roamed, captivated by the alien beauty of the underwater world, so vastly different from the surface he knew.

On one side stretched a forest, its glowing trees casting an ethereal light over the surroundings. To their right yawned a shadowy chasm, its depths impenetrable. As Archer peered into the abyss, Maryʼs voice broke the silence.

”Nothing lives down there except my kind,” she said, her tone heavy with warning. ”And they will hate you.”

Archer started laughing as he answered, ”Donʼt worry beautiful, Iʼll beat them up and throw them into the Domain.”

Mary giggles in response before speaking. ”Weʼre nearly there. Hold on.”

Following that, she dived and entered a large tunnel, only to be engulfed by darkness as Maryʼs green eyes lit up their surroundings. Archerʼs eyes scanned the rocky walls of the chasm as they descended.

The older woman continued swimming up the tunnel until a bright light was seen as she spoke. ”Jump off me, handsome.”ʼ

Archer obeyed her instructions, hovering above her as she broke through the surface and seamlessly shifted into her human form. He followed closely, his descent ending with a solid

thud.

Rising to his feet, Archer took in their surroundings, a warm, dimly lit cave, its walls emitting a gentle heat. His gaze swept across the space, noting its simplicity. It felt surprisingly inviting, with smooth stone floors.

A singular entrance that doubled as the only exit, giving the cave a sense of quiet seclusion. While looking around, Mary commented with a big smile, ”This place can be our getaway where we can spend time together.”

When Archer heard this, his eyebrow rose in curiosity, causing him to use Mana Manipulation to create a table and chairs along with a comfortable bed off to one side, which made the older

woman giggle.

”Planning some naughty, eh?” she commented as her green eyes gleamed with excitement. ”I look forward to it.”

Following that, he motioned for her to sit down, ”Letʼs eat and catch Mary, itʼs been a while since weʼve spent time together.”

Archer took out some Earth food which shocked the older woman who started studying it after sitting down. Her expression made him smile as she look like she was concentrating hard.

”This stuff is from my old world. I bought so much that I wonʼt run out for years,” he revealed with a chuckle while sitting down.

Mary looked up while talking about a hamburger she was studying which made him chuckle at her reaction. ”Why does it smell so good?”

He shrugged lightly and said, ”I think itʼs the way itʼs cooked. But letʼs dig in while you catch

me up on everything youʼve been up to.”

She nodded, her lips curving into a sweet smile, and took a bite of the burger. Her eyes widened in surprise as the flavor hit her, a delighted expression spreading across her pretty

face.

Archer chuckled softly, amused by her obvious delight, before turning his attention to his own meal. He took a bite, the flavors immediately hitting home, and savoring it just as much

as she appeared to be.

As they ate, Mary started talking about her recent activities. She told Archer how she had been assisting Teuila, Lucrezia, and Kassandra in eliminating sea monsters that posed a threat to

the kingdom.

Her voice carried a hint of pride as she had also been helping train some of the harem, honing their skills for the challenges ahead. When he realized that the older woman was trying her best to help, it made him smile.

”Thank you for everything, Mary,” he suddenly said, which caught her off guard.

She smiled before replying, ”Youʼre welcome, my love. Iʼm always happy to help you.”

Following that, the duo started eating in silence, but Archer quickly noticed that she kept glancing at him, ʼIʼm going to ravage her for hours,ʼ he thought just as his excitement exploded. Half an hour later, Archer finished eating before standing up and exploring the cave as Mary needed to finish. While walking about, he spotted several pathways that led somewhere, causing him to summon some shadow Creatures.

He ordered them to explore them and report back on anything they found, which they agreed

to before vanishing. The cave was secluded, which Archer was happy with, and soon enough, the older woman was done.

”That was delicious Arch, we need to eat like that more often,” Mary commented with a big

smile.
