Book 3: Chapter 8: And so it Begins!

Once Nick arrived back at the Human Capital on Zeus. He looked around to see who is there, but all he saw was Voarag waiting impatiently for him.

“Where is everyone?” –Nick

“Master, they are gone doing girl things they said. They were very interested in catching up and integrating Chloe into their circle, though no one has seen Des yet.” –Voarag

“Was Lea and Valerie there too?” –Nick

“8 of your wives were there plus your mother and the one that calls herself Barb.” –Voarag

“That sounds fine, but where is Des? She should be here by now…” –Nick

She is with us. As a Sovereign that doesn’t know how to make a mortal body, she has no choice but to stay up here and watch.

“Uhh okay, whatever.” –Nick

“Everyone is accounted for. Let us go and fly to the other continent Master to find Kiki.” –Voarag

“Okay let’s. Sally tell the girls and others where we are. Also, can you teleport us there directly?” –Nick

No, too many Sovereigns are watching that Continent. You have to get there the normal way for now.

“Well fortunately they have Ruby if they need to come find me. So for now I will ignore the girls and go help Hina, you did say something about a Costume… I need to think of a good design!” –Nick

In the background, Nick thought he heard faint laughter, but he couldn’t tell where it was coming from so instead decided to ignore it.

“Let’s go Voarag, you remember the general area of the new land. Once we get there it shouldn’t be hard to find them.” –Nick

Then Voarag goes from his pet form to a larger form big enough to carry Nick. Nick then gets on his back as they fly off into space. Once there they look down again at the vast expanse of what should be ocean, but instead is just a huge storm cloud that covers everything. Fortunately, it was very easy to fly over it once in space and land near a small town on the new Continent.

‘Sally, where again did you say Hina lived?’ –Nick

‘She is in the Capital, very easy to fine as there is only one.’ –Sally

“Go back to Humanoid form, from here we travel normally as we find the Capital.” –Nick

“Yes Master.” –Voarag

Once they got closer to the town, they noticed how run down it was. There is even a large section of it that clearly exploded not too long ago as the ground is still black and ash covered.

This city is weird, I wonder what calamity came through here to cause such destruction. Best to get a map and get out of here. –Nick

Fortunately it wasn’t hard for Nick to find a general store selling maps, of course he simply looked at it and memorized it since he didn’t really have any local money. He then asked the guy for information on the Capital in casual talk to see where it was and how long it normally took to get there.

He was disgruntled to find out how far away it was since unless they went out into orbit it would take a few days to get there.

“This sucks, the Capital is on the other side of the planet! This will take forever to get there! Let’s fly at best speed to make it faster!” –Nick

It must be noted that flying over the speed of sound is not fun, so even though they could move really fast in general, traveling long distances was usually done at about 500 mph. Meaning it took them a full day and a half of straight flying to reach the Capital. Of course they stopped a few times in between and really spent three full days reaching it.

(To anyone who cares about the math and either forgot about it when mentioned before. The distance from the run down town that Alice started in, to the Capital was around 18,000 miles)

Once they were hovering above the Capital, Nick finally asked Voarag about Kiki.

“Okay we should be close enough to track using your Dragon senses. Lead the way to Kiki!” –Nick

“This way!” –Voarag

Then creating a miniature sonic boom, Voarag flew straight towards the Palace. Fortunately, the Capital doesn’t have tall walls as there is no threat from monsters or anyone else, thus getting from the outer parts of the city to the inner parts is very easy if one can fly.

Finally, they reach the entrance of the Palace and Voarag stops.

“She is in there!” –Voarag

Good thing he has enough sense to not barge in, no telling what trouble we would come into here. –Nick

“Okay let’s go in normally and ask for her. Finding a Dragon should be easy.” –Nick

So the two walk to the entrance and find two normal Guards. Well one of them was normal, the other one was very familiar and not normal at all, as he had very powerful magical armor on and an oversized weapon.

“Nick is that you?” –Joseph

“Yes, we have come to see Kiki. Is she nearby?” –Nick

“Yes, she is probably in her lair with her Majesty.” –Joseph

“C can you take us to her?” –Voarag

“Who are you? Wait! You are a Dragon like Kiki, is this Voarag?” –Joseph

“Yes it is I.” –Voarag

“Okay follow me, I will lead the way.” –Joseph

Unfortunately Nick didn’t pay any attention to this dialogue, or he might have noticed the slip of the tongue of Joseph. Nick surely should know that Joseph is strong and wouldn’t bow down to just anyone, this would mean the ruler here is very strong. And considering who Kiki’s Mistress is, there should only be one strong person around her.

Hina at this moment was meditating in the so called lair as she waited for the tournament to start. She realized that only 3 days or so were left until the preliminaries which she should be able to skip. But she would need the armor from Nick before that, when she asked Sally about it, she assured her that Nick would arrive on time. So in order to not be worried, she just meditated instead. It was at this time that the door opened, knowing that only Joseph would bother her, she didn’t bother to open her eyes.

“Your Majesty, a visitor has come for Kiki.” –Joseph

“*SQUEAL* Is that you Voarag? Have you finally come to claim me?” –Kiki

This caused Hina to crack an eye open as she saw Kiki run towards a tall Draconian male. This made her realize that if Voarag was here then Nick must be too. This caused her to open her other eye and look at the door as a third figure came in the room.

“Yes it is me. I have come to claim you in the way of our people!” –Voarag

When Nick heard this he stopped at the door and looked at the young looking female that had very few Draconian traits, but was clearly one of them. He was shocked to see her rush to Voarag and jump into his arms. The aura around them turned pink instantly causing Nick to want to back away shortly, but something stopped him. He felt an extremely strong Aura ahead of him and just out of range. This caused him to step fully into the room so he could see clearly.

What he saw shocked him and put him on full alert. For he saw an Archangel in a sitting position staring right at him in the eyes. His first reaction was shock, but then he got a closer look at her and the shock turned to something else.

For this being in front of him was the most beautiful creature he has seen to date. And at the same time she felt familiar, as if he should not only know who she is, but also not be surprised by her appearance at all. This made him take a closer look.

As if his gaze was a command, the woman stood up from her sitting position and stretched. This caused two things to happen. First Nick’s thinking process went from his brain to his other head, and this also caused a familiar feeling to well up inside of him.

But before all of that, Nick already immortalized her entire self into his retinas. She was 5’9” with hair the color of spun gold with the consistency of spider silk. Her eyes the color of green blue sapphire, her breasts perked upward and were the size of a large F cup. Her hips were like thunder as every step she took would cause everyone to notice, and her ass had its own zip code as the loveliness was too much for others to intrude upon. Nick barely even noticed her feathery wings. He is probably immune to such things after dealing with Lily for so long, but Nick never thought he would meet a girl that was even better looking than Lily, even if only by a small amount.

“Nick!” –Hina

Though Nick was subconsciously walking forward, hearing his name from the overly familiar woman caused him to stutter step. But it was too late, his body was already on auto-pilot and the woman was getting closer and closer as if a plague was behind her and her only salvation could be found in Nick’s embrace.

Not giving him a chance to respond, let alone protest, Hina jumped into Nick’s arms and hugged him fiercely. It must be known that even Hina did not know why she did this. It was like her subconscious was moving on its own. But the yearning in her heart for someone strong, started to beat fiercely upon looking Nick in the eyes.

Mere inches away, the two faced each other for but a moment before their looks turned from surprise to something else. And before Kiki and Voarag could even get a room, Hina and Nick were already kissing like the world was about to end. This caused Joseph to explode since he was already mad at Nick for stealing Tiffany from him, now he wanted to take Hina?

“You dare to touch her Majesty? Hina is mine!” –Joseph

He then took the sword off his back and swung it at Nick.

But it was his words that caused Nick to wake up temporarily from his stupor.

Hina? This explains a lot then. Sally did not warn me about this at all, before I always liked Hina but she was Human and my curse would not activate. But now things are different, it is time to properly make her mine. I also know how I’m going to make her costume now! –Nick

Now taking his eyes off Hina at all, he simply waved his right hand and Joseph, sword and all, was sent flying out of the room and into a wall. Nick then used his telekinesis to shut and bar the door to the lair so he wouldn’t get disturbed again.

“Found you.” –Nick

“Yes you have.” –Hina

As if that was a challenge, their previous bout of tongue war, turned into an even more furious one, one where clothes were lost and given no quarter! It must be noted that by this time, Kiki and Voarag and made it off into a private corner of the lair to start mating. Apparently Dragon Kings have their own ritual which oddly enough, was very similar to the one Hina and Nick were performing.

Through much effort, Nick finally got Hina on her back. Oddly enough, he had to use his full power and even combine it with his costume to produce enough force to tame her. Apparently Hina doesn’t like to not be in charge, but seeing how easily she was subdued, a light started to sparkle in her eye.

“You win, take me now!” –Hina

“With pleasure!” –Nick

And Nick did just that. Knowing his curse would not be satisfied until he finished inside of her, he started to penetrate her without further ado.

“Ahhhhh! So big! MOAR!” –Hina

As if he was 007 and just got a license to kill, Nick started pumping in and out of Hina with more than enough force to kill a normal mortal. And he did this while grunting and moaning like hers was the tightest and greatest pussy he had ever felt.

“S soo TIGHT!” –Nick

This caused Hina to blush and when Nick saw her perfect skin turn pink, something inside of him snapped as he lost all control and reason.

“ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG!” –Nick

“Moar moar, give me MOAR!” –Hina

Nick’s orgasm was so hard that he blasted Hina off of him and into the wall behind them. With this, the curse was done doing its job and Nick could finally think again. What he saw was a very satisfied Archangel plastered against a wall with a huge Angel indention in it.

“That was the best! I’m glad I waited for you… husband of mine.” –Hina

This caused a jolt of electricity to affect Nick. This made his boner grow even bigger as if to mock their earlier tryst. He slowly made his way back to Hina and helped her out of the wall.

“You broke it wife of mine. I can feel the curse is gone! Now let’s celebrate properly.” –Nick

Hina just looked Nick in the eye at that and gave a single nod and grunt of affirmation.

“Un.” –Hina

And celebrate they did. The next few days were spent in the lair with two sets of voices making moaning sounds and other sounds as they ‘celebrated’.

Once Hina passed out from over exposure to the D, Sally informed Nick that he had would he needed to make her costume, then she laughed at him for about 5 minutes. Thus an embarrassed Nick spent the rest of the night making a costume for her. By this point, Nick has this process down to a science and not much time is needed, the problem is he had to make a suit tailored to one with wings while also making it look badass.

He also wanted to make it look hot without showing anything. The true art of seduction: level Geisha.

“Hina wake up. I finally finished the ultimate costume for you!” –Nick

After a bit of yelling and shoving her shoulder, Hina finally woke up.

“Huh what? You finished it already? Good then I might have a chance to win this stupid tournament!” –Hina

At this comment, Hina looked at her timer and realized the tournament was going to start the prelims later that day, so she quickly put on the costume and felt an intense rush of power as she instinctively figured out how to activate it.

*DING*

Costume get!

“Ha ha ha, very funny Sally.” –Hina

Hey I promised that you would get what you needed to win for reaching max level. So think of it like a quest item that barely made it in time! Also Nick you should be able to teleport to Hina once the tournament starts now that you are bonded etc…

“…” –Nick

The silence caused Hina to go from looking at the blue screen to look at Nick.

“Nick?” –Hina

“…” –Nick

That is when she noticed the drool falling from his mouth. This caused her to slap him with her new strength.

*SMACK*

*CRASH*

“Huh? What happened? Oh you look amazing Hina! This is my greatest invention ever! It’s only fitting that my most beautiful wife should have it.” –Nick

*BLUSH*

“You are just saying that because I broke your curse.” –Hina

And even though Hina was clearly fishing for compliments, Nick didn’t notice her words at all as he was too busy looking at his masterpiece. Having mastered his technique, he no longer had to make an outfit that covered the entire body in order to protect it. Now that he knew how to project Aura all over the place, he made a near leotard that instead of coming down like a bikini bottom, came down as short shorts but left half her thigh exposed, creating the ultimate absolute territory.

Then instead of having an opening above the chest area, he created a diamond opening just below the breasts that came down her stomach while still showing underboob. He even created the sleeves to act just like the thighs in that her upper arms were only half covered. This gave the whole outfit a childish look. He lined all the edges and the diamond center plus collar in gold while having the rest of the outfit the same weird blue green sapphire sparkly color as her eyes.

He also made it so that when she wanted to get naked the whole outfit would simply transform into a golden collar. It took him a full 15 minutes to get over his work and finally read the blue screens in front of his face. It must be noted that even though the screens are transparent, it is very hard to simply ignore them without acknowledging them.

“Oh and about that tournament, the reward is an Orb that turns you into a Sovereign, you must win it!” –Nick

“What?” –Hina

“Oh! Let me tell you about my travels after I left you, then you can tell me what happened with you…” –Nick

Then the next hour was spent trading stories back and forth, this woke up the two Dragons as they joined in and gave their own inputs.

“So after finding your other not so better half, your race changed and your alignment turned evil? That’s wicked!” –Nick

“Yea and look at the weird Aura that I got. Show status to all.” –Hina

Title: Curse BreakerDescription: Due to your race and True Aura, getting in close contact with curses will break even the most powerful curse.

Effects: Removes curses on contact but does not remove any lingering effects.

“Great so you removed my curse but not the effects. We are still soul linked and all that other stuff. At least now I’ll never fall in love with another woman and feel guilty over it.” –Nick

As if it ever made me feel guilty. Before I met Solaria I was a man whore after all. –Nick

As if she could read his thoughts, Hina’s eyes turned cold.

“Let’s see your stats, mister nice guy.” –Hina

“Um… sure! Show status to all.” –Nick

“Wait what? When did my alignment turn evil?” –Nick

“Buahahahahahahaha! You expected to be able to turn a forest into ash and destroy an entire species and still be considered good?” –Hina

“Well I was evil before I came here, I just played along with the system before, once I left my true colors showed is all. Not that it matters, I am after all an evil genius!” –Nick

Ahh feels good to let that out. Of course all my other wives already figured this out so it wasn’t a new declaration. –Nick

‘Get ready! It’s time for the tournament!’ –Sally

“What?” –Nick

And before he could finish his question, Hina and Kiki disappeared.

‘Hey why did they both disappear?’ –Nick

‘Yea, Kiki has nothing to do with this!’ –Voarag

‘She can help fight as she is considered a magical beast companion and thus part of Hina’s power. Quickly go teleport to her before they notice anything amiss.’ –Sally

“Okay gather near me Voarag.” –Nick

GROUP TELEPORT! –Nick

Once he arrived, Nick instantly looked for Hina. He first noticed the room he was in was very similar to a pavilion where one would wait for their name to be called. Also it was high in the sky like a skybox at a sporting event. Looking out the window one could see a huge fighting arena that was clearly meant for those that could fly.

This must be the tournament. I even see people outside getting ready to fight. I must find Hina quickly as I have no clue about this thing beyond the reward. –Nick

Finally Nick found Hina, or rather Voarag sniffed out Kiki and pointed to her. But when Nick looked at her, he noticed she was with two other girls. One tall blonde that was clearly holding Mjolnir, No way would Nick not recognize that hammer. The other a shorter girl with steel grey eyes and a spear that looks like it should be used as a wizards staff.

“Hina there you are.” –Nick

The smile on Nick’s face was genuine, it even made the other two girls blush. Seeing this, Hina instantly walked up to Nick and latched on to him as if to claim him, she then gave the stink eye to her two companions.

“Mine.” –Hina

Is all Hina said, but that was enough as the two girls didn’t say anything afterwards.

Nick being oblivious to this exchange, moved along the conversation as if a western standoff didn’t just happen.

“So I noticed some people gearing up to fight, how does this work?” –Nick

“This is the preliminaries, this should last about a week or whatever and then the real fights start. Us Gods do not have to fight here, and the only ones who will make it out of this are the ones that have a breakthrough while fighting this week. For whatever reason, these first fights are not to the death and are just training for a week to see if anyone becomes a God. Only a God can win this tournament.” –Athena

“And who might you be young lady?” –Nick

“My name is—“ –Athena

“That’s Athena and the other is Thor. Their real names don’t matter, only their parent’s.” –Hina

“Oh so are we to start calling you Loki now? Of course everyone calls me Thor now that I have this stupid hammer.” –Thor

“Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” –Nick

“Pfft, don’t remind me of that stupid quote!” –Thor

“Anyways, let’s watch this first part of the tournament. Hina has told me about you two and how useless your friend Ares was.” –Nick

“Don’t remind me of that oaf. Let’s see if any of these weaklings have what it takes to face my hammer!” –Thor

“Now you just sound like Gimli from Lord of the Rings. Stop with the movie quotes!” –Athena

“Huh? I don’t remember anything like that from any movies.” –Nick

“Honey, they are from a different Earth, same as Alice, and on that Earth the Thor movie and Lord of the Rings movie are different as they aren’t played by supers.” –Hina

“Oh that makes sense then. I do recall reading the Lord of the Rings book, but there was nothing about a Gimli doing anything stupid with a hammer.” –Nick

“Much later they made a movie and he said something stupid by cleaving everything with his axe, not much different than Thor here with her hammer.” –Hina

“Uh… okay, let’s watch the fights then!” –Nick

“And so it begins…” –Hina

___

The prelims at best are a half chapter that may come out later, the real fighting happens in chapter 9 as the timer for Earth runs out.
