Darius had a separate chamber for Medea in his lab, and he traveled there as a form of taking a short break from nonstop work. The chamber was a special Faraday cage with many runes carved on it powered by the usual Source Energy.
The runes were switched off, allowing Darius to enter inside and see that it was a relatively operational room with all the facilities needed for childbirth, including nannybots who were idle, waiting for the birthing to start.
They all came active in Darius' presence and got to work cleaning the place up and making sure everything was perfect for work. Darius went directly to Medea who was on a flat bed, sedated.
He gazed down at the beautiful Demigoddess/witch with a soft smile, nodding to a bot that had accompanied him into the room. It held five gallons of clean semen extracted from his best samples.
With a snap of his finger, the machines got active and tilted Medea's naked body upward. Soon a soft, silicone funnel with its end shaped like a penis was placed against her vulva and pushed deep into her vagina.
Medea was awakened by the machines, and reacted a bit to the sudden insertion as she was injected with some stimulants to get her body ready. Then, the robot poured the semen down the funnel, which was first held in the funnels tank.
When it was full, it acted like a normal penis and suddenly exploded with an artificial ejaculation, filling up Medea's womb sufficiently with the juice. She reacted to this once again, which was necessary otherwise the chances of pregnancy would be far lower.
The funnel was removed slowly and the nannybots made themselves available, feeding Medea various potions and making sure she was stable. Darius watched for a bit before leaving.
The moment the door sealed behind him, he snapped his fingers and said coldly. "Activate the time dilation."
The runes that were switched off before came to life in full power, connecting with each other as the entire Faraday cage gave a low hum, like a generator that was sealed in a thick room.
Darius moved to the observation window and was amused. The state of the room was like watching a fast-forwarded video, just that at a very high speed. The movements of those within were almost a blur and only the stationary Medea looked somewhat normal.
Well, except her belly which was swelling so fast it looked like she was about to explode. She then went into high-speed labor as the nannybots fussed over her, then the child was born and extracted from the room.
They too would be placed in virtual pods meant for children, in a room with time dilation so they could rapidly grow while receiving elite education and training at the same time.
The time dilation in Medea's room was intense, 10 seconds to 280 days which was 1 gestation cycle. In other words, Medea was popping out a baby every 10 seconds in real-time.
Even the insect race could not manage this, could they?
Darius watched as she was directly injected with Lunar Dew, her body rapidly healing from the damage of childbirth and restoring itself before the funnel was placed into her vagina and she was artificially inseminated using this somewhat organic means.
Then, the whole process started anew.
Darius walked over to a side observation room which was the 'nursery' for the children. He saw that three had already been brought in, their looks identical to Medea who was their mother, and one of the three specimens he extracted from.
Because of that, they looked like siblings, which Darius knew was key to their training and identity. If they all regarded each other as not just brothers of life and death, but brothers of blood, their bond would be doubly tight.
At least, it would be made to be doubly tight under the brainwashing they would go through from young in the virtual reality training.
Seeing all this, Darius was satisfied and left the area, returning to his main task. That one needed his direct hand, unfortunately, as no one else could replace him for this key process just yet.
While back into the groove, outside his tower, the world was moving. The first batch of troops he had sent out were arranged by Gunner and set out with him in much fanfare.
Many who were in Safemoon were shocked by the sight. They knew Safemoon was a commercial haven with the best good, protected by someone of utmost power that they dared not offend, but no one knew they had military power.
Even though their troops numbered only 17,000 or so, each of them radiated an intense aura that caused onlookers to shiver. What was worse, each and every one of them was at least, an Adept!
This was a fucking big deal, because most kingdoms and even empires' armies were led by skilled commoners, i.e those who hadn't awakened! Who would allow their precious awakened and sparked to form their bottom-tier army?
Those fellows were reserved for elite troops, which were where most of them would be found. An army of 17,000 Adepts was more than some smaller Kingdoms could field for their elite troops, and this was Safemoon's footsoldiers!
What?!
This was big news! This meant a lot not just to the Kingdoms and Empires of Flagon, but to the world as a whole. Everyone had been waiting for the protection behind Safemoon to show the slightest weakness in order to pounce like ravenous wolves, but now Safemoon were showing their hand.
Some were able to realize that if Safemoon were to be able to pump out more troops like this, taking over a measly Fallon would be a piece of cake! That could not be allowed!
They had to quickly report to their various powers and find ways to stifle Safemoon's progress.
Otherwise, who was to say that once Safemoon was done with Fallon, they wouldn't be coming for each of them next?!
