Naming Session

Lucian looked more carefully and saw that it really was a group of little Tribios.

All of them looked exactly the same as that little girl from ten years ago, all wearing the same clothes and having the same red hair, except their hairstyles were different.

Some had braids, some had ponytails, some had bangs covering their eyes, and some had long hair down to their waists.

"Big Brother Lucian!"

A girl whose hairstyle was exactly the same as Tribios's when she was a child ran straight toward Lucian.

Right after, the other little girls also shouted "Big Brother Lucian!" before rushing at him together.

One after another, they kept running out of the gate, and soon, the square, which had been empty a moment ago, was quickly filled with red.

Even though Lucian had already expected something like this, he was still taken aback.

A thousand little Tribios—of course, that would be quite a sight.

Lucian picked up the first little Tribios who ran up to him, just like he had picked up Tribios ten years ago.

Very soon, the second, third, fourth... not one more, not one less, exactly a thousand!

Now, his legs were surrounded by little girls clinging to him, each one soft and fragrant.

He had always looked down on lolicons, but now that he was experiencing it for himself, this ticklish feeling of wanting to pat their heads or pinch their cheeks was irresistible.

"I turned into so many! We all look like we did when we were little!"

All the little Tribios seemed to have a telepathic connection and could feel what each other felt.

If one of them got hurt, the other 999 would feel it too.

Likewise, if 999 of them felt pain, the last one would have to bear it multiplied by 999.

Fortunately, the blessing of Abundance had not disappeared, so all thousand of them could live forever and heal themselves.

"Big Brother, give us names! That way, you can tell us apart!"

"Names, huh...? Uh... let me think..."

Lucian was suddenly at a loss because the game's story never gave names to all the thousand little Tribios.

However, as a thousand pairs of expectant eyes stared at him, he really couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Coincidentally, the one in his arms was Tribbie, the one at his left leg was Trianne, and the one at his right leg was Trinnon—the three little Tribios that appeared in the game.

"You're Tribbie, you're Trianne, you're Trinnon, you're Trissha..."

Soon, all the little Tribios lined up, letting Lucian give them names one by one.

"Trillie."

"Trianna."

"Trilla."

"Trinnie."

"Triona."

"..."

For a whole thousand names, Lucian racked his brains, digging up everything he had learned from nine years of schooling.

Thankfully, in the end, he managed to name all one thousand little Tribios.

""Yay!""

A thousand little girls cheered, dancing with joy.

It seemed the childish side of them was still the strongest.

Maybe this was the price of becoming a demigod.

Tribbie: "Tribbie wants to hug Big Brother's right arm!"

Trianne: "Trianne wants to hug Big Brother's left arm!"

Trinnon: "Trinnon will hug Big Brother's leg..."

Trissha: "Trissha wants to hug Big Brother's leg too."

A group of little girls started fighting for Lucian's attention again, each wanting to get close to him.

Unfortunately, there was no way he could give everyone the same treatment, so he used the power of Abundance to pick them all up at once.

However, he hadn't expected that a thousand little Tribios would resonate with his power of Abundance.

In the next moment, they all began to glow and turned into balls of light, gathering together and merging into one.

*BANG!*

Suddenly, the ball of light burst open, revealing Tribios, who landed gently on the ground.

Yes, she had returned to her original tall, adult self.

"I... turned back...?"

Tribios, looking at her hands, was a little surprised.

Did this mean that even after being split into a thousand, she could be changed back by the power of Abundance?

Evidently, she could even split at will—whenever she wanted a certain little Tribios to separate, she could do it, but each time she split, a piece of her soul would split off as well.

'It must be because of Big Brother Lucian...'

Tribios was certain of this in her heart.

Lucian was also a little surprised, since he truly didn't know that the power of Abundance could fuse a thousand little Tribios together.

It was undoubtedly a lucky accident.

"Big Brother, you treat me the best!"

Tribios happily threw herself into Lucian's arms.

"As long as you're happy."

Lucian stroked Tribios's head affectionately.

After a little thought, Lucian more or less figured out how it worked.

Given that the power of Abundance would keep Tribios's body fixed in whatever state she was in when she received the blessing, no matter what happened, she would always return to that moment's form.

In other words, the state when she received the blessing of Abundance would be her 'default state' from then on.

Simply put, because of the fusion with the Coreflame of Passage, combined with the blessing of Abundance from Lucian, Tribios could split and merge freely.

An unintentional act ended up giving Tribios a new ability—truly a good outcome.

"My mission isn't finished yet, Big Brother... I... I have to leave Janusopolis for a while..."

Still in Lucian's arms, Tribios looked up and met his eyes.

However, this act reminded her of the moment they kissed before, so her cheeks involuntarily flushed.

"Um, I have to take up my duty as a messenger and spread the prophecy to everyone. I might not be back for a long time..."

As she spoke, Tribios quickly split again, turning back into a thousand little Tribios.

She couldn't help it.

She was just too shy and afraid Lucian would bring up that kiss.

"Tribbie, Trianne, and Trinnon will stay with Big Brother, while the rest of us are going out to travel the world to carry out our mission as messengers."

Trissha spoke with her hands on her hips, stating their decision.

By the way, Trissha was a little Tribios with a single ponytail and big, bright eyes.

"Umu, go ahead." Lucian nodded and agreed with a smile. "But remember, if you run into any trouble, let me know. Janusopolis will also help you spread the prophecy."

As long as they did nothing wrong, he would always support Tribios in whatever she wanted to do.

Besides, now that Tribios had become a demigod, yet the script still hadn't been completed, it was clear there was more ahead.

Even though he was unsure, he had a feeling that when the Flame-Chase Journey began, that would be when the script ended.
