Aeon of Creation Chapter 18

"Foul demons! Destroyer's of civilization, I cast your kind into the darkness below!" I roared as I operated the marshmallow creme turret that like a a fire trucks water cannon. Shot a powerful stream of marshmallow cream that pushed back the adults and children sieging my castle!

"I shall not be brought down by knaves who invade my castle! Minions! Destroy the invaders!" I roared with the massive desert dragon roaring with a bone-shaking timber of volume as it threw itself over the massive chocolate walls of my castle.

The broken down castle wall where the starving and poor people of the Underworld had blasted into using blasting charges had a large hole plugged as my pop tart soldiers took over defensive positions.

Which all looked similar to the card soldiers the Red Queen had from Alice and Wonderland but... You know thicker, and instead of different card themes, they came in different flavors of pop tarts and were five and a half feet tall and armed with a great shield of gram crackers and a spear of chocolate.

"The treasure, the infinite food is before us! Take the king prisoner, children!" Natasha called out giving me a look from across the 'battlefield' as the adults took pickaxes and other tools to smash apart the pop-tart soldiers to give the children space to get to me at the top tower of my castle.

And I threw a wink back to her letting her know things were under control.

And leading the charge of the children was obviously Hook... Or her real preferred name is Pitch Dark Hook, the Great! Who was using her large drill to break down the regenerating castle's walls to help let more knaves into my castle.

Then as my dragon construct came down on the adults who were totally ready to fight a massive dragon made out of sweets. I raised an eyebrow as a spear slammed into the dragon's head and snapped out at one of the adults with its massive candy corn teeth just missing the adult.

"Dan Heng! You traitor! You would protect the knaves that seek to overthrow me!" I roared out in 'horror' at the base betrayal of my friend who landed with such force on the dragon's head with a stomping landing that it's chocolate coin scale cracked and shattered in places...

Actually, maybe his landing wasn't that strong. Chocolate coins aren't exactly known for their tensile strength after all.

"Aeon of Creation! You shall not turn this world into a chocolate hell!" I heard March 7th call out and I looked over at her only to see her partly bent over and panting as it looked like she had just ran over here or something.

"Hmph, we shall see." I whispered dramatically as my cloak behind my form swirled as I turned on my heel and returned back into my tower in the center of the large castle and as I came into the room I blinked seeing Elysia just chilling.

Well not just chilling, as she was eating an oversized marshmallow she had obviously taken from the hot chocolate or coffee moats surrounding my castle.

"How did the shopping go Elysia?" I asked in amusement as the elf-eared beauty giggled at my question.

"Oh? Not going to treat me as an intruder to throw out of your castle? What if I came to steal it away from you haha." Elysia retorted giggling at my face that pinched.

I shrugged and said. "Well, you are just sitting there and didn't pull a Stelle and just bash me over the back of the head with a baseball bat while I was monologing. So it's fairly clear you are just chilling." 

Elysia paused at my words before shrugged and said. "Stelle is cute, but she does like to leap to smash things with her baseball bat." 

My phone clinged making me raise an eyebrow so I looked into it and I couldn't help a little evil giggle of my own.

[Dan Heng- Get your dragon to let me go... It ate me and I can't get out! Why is the stomach of your dragon a giant pouch filled with sour candy liquids???]

So I quickly typed back. [Sounds like a skill issue Dan Heng. Why did you let yourself get eaten? Wait is it cannibalism if my candy dragon eats another dragon?]

But even as I felt Dan Heng smashing the dragon on the inside in irritation at my troll of a message back, I mentally controlled the candy construct to vomit the Vidyadhara onto March 7th who was now sniping my constructs with her great archery skills.

A loud explosion rang out making the entire castle shake and I blinked before my face twitched as I saw that Pela and Lynx had somehow gotten cannons from the surface world and were now blasting literal cannon fire at my larger high-end constructs under the control of Bronya.

"I think these people are taking this a bit too seriously," I muttered with a wry smile before I shook slightly and then much harder as a dull rumble rang out as my tower began to fucking tilt to the side.

"Whelp, I think they aren't playing themselves... Wanna surrender Jake?" Elysia asked as she got up as we both realized that Hook being the terror she was. Decided to just drill out and blow up the supports for my tower so it would just collapse with myself inside of it.

I shrugged and said with a wry smile. "Yeah... I think its time I go sit on the Astral Express for a couple days and let people relax haha." And I watched as Elysia's face pinched as I literally just teleported away.

'I may let them win in getting the castle... But this prince Aeon is going to be in an entirely different castle!' I thought with a chuckle escaping me as I relaxed onto the plush seats of the Astral Express and relaxed.

But after a couple of minutes of relaxing, my peace was broken as my phone clinged again, and for a moment I ignored it and then several more clings rang out meaning it wasn't just me being messaged. 

"What's going on now?" I muttered and I looked at the messages before raising an eyebrow at the message being from Himiko in the Astral Express group chat.

[Himeko- We got a good week or two we can stay here in Belebog, but then we need to head on back to Herta's Space Station. There is data we need to pick up to clean up some star charts.]

"Huh... Going back to the Space Station huh?" I mused as I read through the other messages and shrugged as I wasn't so averse to seeing the Space Station again. Though now with control over my powers and nature as an Aeon even if I was a half-baked Aeon.

I wasn't so nervous about meeting Herta at least.
