Chapter 52: The Contracted Constellations
Archangel Uriel was from Eden, the Angelic Pantheon.
Rebel Sage of Heaven was none other than the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal—Sun Wukong!
Not a lot had to be said about this legendary figure, but the reason he was watching them was because of the attention they attracted.
The monkey king loved drama and went to any place he could find it for entertainment. He was also at odds against the constellations from the Chinese Pantheon and had his own pantheon filled with powerful monkey constellations.
He was aggressive against the Valkyrie Councilor when Julien's request was rejected because he did not like how they didn't even consider it. They also had no valid reason behind it, and to him, it looked like the Valkyries were restricting a Novice Player's freedom to choose things, which he did not like.
The next constellation in the list was Eternal Flame of the Sky, yet another legendary figure.
The constellations Eternal Moonlight Sage, Wrathful Sky Commander, and Goddess of Bountiful Fields all belonged to the Eternal Flame of the Sky's pantheon.
All of them were Shinto constellations, with Eternal Flame of the Sky being their ruler.
Who was Eternal Flame of the Sky?
It was the Sun God Amaterasu herself!
Julien had a very hard time believing all of this information given to him by El. They were all mythical figures from his past world and knowing he interacted with some of them…
Yeah, he still couldn't digest it.
In any case, he had to accept it as there was no other choice.
The other three constellations from the Shinto Pantheon were: Tsukuyomi, the Moon God, Amaterasu's sibling; Susanoo, Storm God, also Amaterasu's sibling; and at last, Inari, the Goddess of Rice and Fertility.
"Do you guys know…" El interrupted the conversation while having her eyes closed and head still placed on Julien's shoulder. "Tsukuyomi and Susanoo have been pursuing their sister Amaterasu for a very long time. They keep getting rejected, but still haven't stopped their pursuit."
Julien had heard about this tale in his past world.
The three's relationship was complicated and among all the Shinto Gods, it was only Inari who truly respected and admired Amaterasu. She was like a fan girl of hers, and Amaterasu had a favorable impression of her too because she never caused any trouble.
"I heard that Tsukuyomi is two faced. He portrays himself as a kindhearted person but is something else entirely on the inside." Julien said what he knew about the god from his past life.
"Yup. That's absolutely correct. Though, nobody knows about it except Amaterasu and Susanoo."
"Oh…" Julien wanted to facepalm. "…am I in trouble for speaking about this then?"
Eleanor gently pulled Julien's head in her bosom in response to his statement, causing El's head to fall down on Julien's lap and hit him exactly where one isn't supposed to hit a man.
"Oof—!" Julien grunted but his voice was suppressed as his face got stuffed in a forbidden place.
"You won't have to worry, baby, mommy will protect you from everything!" Eleanor said cheerfully and kissed the top of his head.
"Oh… I seemed to have hit something naughty…" El got up and rubbed her face.
Eleanor didn't hear her because she was busy with skinship with her son.
Jackie and Amelia did, but the latter had no clue about the context while the former's face was flushed after watching the thing that had happened in front of her eyes.
When Julien's pain subdued and clarity returned, he realized he knew quite a bit about the gods here due to his past world's background. There was a lot of stuff not known by others, so it was best if he kept his mouth shut to not get killed.
As he finished thinking about that and was idle, his senses focused on the fragrant flowery scent.
Fuck! Julien cursed internally.
This was his mother's scent, and as if that wasn't enough, she was moving around a bit while rubbing her face on his head. This was causing the things his face was stuffed between to jiggle and slap him.
They were soft and the skin was so smooth…
Julien's heart pumped blood as fast as it could. Instead of it rushing to his head and giving him a nosebleed, his blood betrayed him and went down his body.
No! No-no-no-no!

Nooooooo—!

[Ding!]
[A new system interface is available…]
[Switching…]
The blue themed system screen changed into pink and black.
The whole screen was pink with the font being in black letters. It was aesthetically pleasing as per Julien, but also quite concerning.
Before getting into anything else, Julien firstly pulled himself away from his mother's embrace.
He looked at Jackie and Amelia, and said, "That will be all for today. Have some rest, I'll see you two again tomorrow."
Jackie and Amelia got up. They bowed and left the room together, with Jackie guiding Amelia through the corridors.
El got up from the couch and stretched lazily. She looked at Julien and winked at him.
"Daddy's got work now. Take care of your mommy while I'm gone."
"You're not my daddy!" Julien hissed.
El laughed and turned into mist, disappearing from Julien and Eleanor's side.
Julien sighed in relief. "She sure is a pain to talk to."
Shaking his head, Julien turned to look at his mother. He wanted to talk to her about something.
As he turned, he saw the blonde lady with sparkling blue eyes staring at him with a dumbfounded expression.
Knitting his brows, he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that, mom?"
Eleanor didn't answer. She extended her hand out and touched Julien's face.
There was another sparkle in her eyes.
"Julien, my baby…" Eleanor said softly. "It still feels so unreal that you're fully conscious of yourself and have a personality."
Julien's eyebrows twitched. He didn't need to ask her why she said that.
Before his transmigration, his body was a literal vegetable. He acted like an emotionless robot and moved only on command.
Eleanor pulled Julien's cheek. "Hm… it's not as smooth and is more toned."
Eleanor then got closer to him and touched his chest and slid her hand down on his abdomen to feel his changed body.
"M-m-mom!?" Julien quickly backed away, chickening out from Eleanor's non-sexual touch.
As if the gods had sensed his virgin beta personality flaring up, the lust system with the pink interface suddenly gave a notification.
