Chapter 060: Eros and his Harem Pagoda

================================

"Stark, what's wrong with you?" the Analyst asked as they got out of the blue smoke tornado.

Stark had always been smiling ever since he and Siva shook hands and it was creeping out the rest of their team.

He stopped walking and then turned to face them with that smile of his. His happy face scared them that they took a step back.

Stark ignored them and said, "Everything is true."

"Excuse me?"

"Everything is true." He repeated.

"What is true?" asked the Analyst.

"Siva is the key to our mission! We can go back to that world once again!" As soon as he spoke, he swiped the air and flicked a panel at his members. Their expressions changed when they saw the screen shot of the notification panel windows he got earlier.

[You made Contact with Siva!]

[H-Class Information Acquired!]

[Quest Generated!]

[Quest details will follow...]

[Stay close to Siva to activate H-Class Quest]

Some of their group began to shed tears as the team cried in joy and excitement. They are once again one step closer to going home.

Tomorrow, they must risk it all and do whatever they can to gain Siva's favor and keep them close to him until he can help them on their quest.

By this time, a group of people bean to approach Stark and his teammates.

"Halt! Who are you and what's inside that tornado Siva created?"

Stark glared at the new comers, "And who the hell died and made you king that we should reply to you no matter the questions asked?"

The leader of the new comer was passively firm.

"We are The Union coalition. Siva had plundered our warship and our resources, and he also stole away our True Dragon Corpse back in Alexandria in the northern continent in addition to hurting all our allies when we asked for an explanation. We have the right to be asking question to whoever had made contact to the criminal that offended The Union!"

[Master, this guy is the leader of that group...]

Upon hearing the whisper of his Battle-AI, Stark immediately realized the situation. He gazed at the group of over 40+ people and answered, "I am Stark of the Atropos Group. You have not an ounce of authority to demand anything from me."

The man snorted, "Hmp! I expected as much for all of you criminals acquainted with Siva. Hear my command. Seize them! Kill anyone who resists."

The 40+ people from The Union jumped out for a fight but the Pioneers of Atropos weren't people they can easily subdue with threats of this level.

"Kill everyone who approaches." Stark gave the command and a battle ensued form the clash.

*****

Of course, the incident with the Atropos just now was known by Siva but he didn't care. During the three hours' time that they waited, Siva had used it to clean up the remains of the warship and pick up and plunder the resources from the remains of the warship in the city.

Right now, he was looking at the battle outside his tornado but he didn't care and only kept his eye out on the development of his Inventions.

All these time, he's been trying to consolidate all of his gains from his trip to Horbe and here.

[Sir, based on the analysis of your situation and your arsenal, referencing from all of our enemies' data so far, your current equipment and strength are inadequate to resist and emerge victorious. If you clash with them again or any enemy of the same level as the ones you've me so far, there is a 67% chance that you will be felled.]

Siva heaved a long sigh.

'How much is the difference?'

[Your current strength, accounting that you are on your peak strength with all your abilities out of cooldown period, against enemies on the level of Kyle... you are weaker by 29%.]

'Meaning, what happened to Kyle was just luck?'

[Considering that he's an idiot with a short temper and easily provoked, yes sir. If all your enemies are like him, even if he has twice the strength he showed you during your fight, there is still a 31% chance that you will be victorious... assuming that it is a one-on-one fight.]

Siva made another long sigh and puts his back on the chair. He laid his feet on the desk of the City Lord, and heaved another long breath.

'A war is coming... one-on-one fights are wishful thinking. Destruction and genocide is upon us. I am running out of ideas on how to increase my strength with the current pace I'm getting. I need to get Baron back as soon as possible.'

[Should we raid Dakar?]

'You know its suicide. Not even the Bloody Church dared to attack Dakar, what makes you say I can do it?'

[Because you're Siva...]

For some reason, when he heard Cortana say this, he couldn't help but look at her. She... might really be evolving ......in a lot of ways.

With a bout of laughter, Siva gawked and cackled at his moment of uncertainty on his own poise.

'Right. I've really been domesticated by the other guy's politeness and kind traits.'

He was talking about 'Rex Kingsley' after he got out of the Terran Universe four years ago. All this time, that Rex Kingsley have always lived life with optimistic beliefs and kindheartedness. He'd lost the edge he once had as an Immortal and the God of Destruction.

'But even then, without the Rune Armor repaired, I can't risk it all at this moment. With the rate it's repairing itself, how long do you think it would take for it to completely repair itself?'

[Visually around 15 days at least, sir, since I am unable to scan anything with Mana.]

'Riiiiiight...'

[I need that receptacle, sir.]

'I know.'

[Asap.]

'I am working on it.'

[You haven't, sir. you can't lie to me. You're not busy now. We can go back to the Asgard and see if we can use your new Dragon Resources to build an augmentation component for the Liberty Drones.]

Siva face-palmed himself and heaved another long sigh. It's like he has a babysitter that kept on nagging at him.

During this time, the fight outside was already on its last dregs. The Atropos, after being boosted in stats, became a strong force against the mere 100+ stats normal players of The Union.

And yet Siva wasn't happy at all.

"The Union is already spreading the news that we stole something from them. They're getting more and more fluent in their shamelessness."

[Sir, if we prolong Baron's rescue, there might be a chance that something bad will happen to the current situation. The sooner we act the better.]

'Right.'

Metheus' Intel said that all Enchantment Temples in Dakar was already under the control of the Bloody Church. Now that Balaam had declared his war against him, and considering that a Priest like Sandra is aware of his weakness, there might only be The Union that's stopping the Bloody Church in getting their hands on Baron.

And yet now, The Union was antagonizing Siva. It was bad news all over the place.

*****

.

It was a 50+ kilometer sized city and the part that faced the Pacific Ocean was open while the part facing the rest of the continent had 100m sized walls protecting its lands.

The numerous tall Pagodas were the spectacle to see in this place and on a cape-cliff that faced the ocean, the Main Pagoda was welded into the cliff wall along with its two little brothers. It was a 600m+ building, like a spear that pierces the sky.

In the Main Pagoda, in the highest room ladened in its luxurious decorations, was Kladis —no. It was Eros who had 'possessed' Kladis' body.

He was surrounded by women ...and men. All of them unconscious, their breathing short as signs of tiredness, and they were all naked but happy.

—even the men.

Eros ...was the Devil of Lust, one of the Devil Gods who escaped the [Cage].

It was the supposed last line of defense of Terroa, secretly arranged ages ago by Janus to help the surviving Gods and Immortals to escape Siva's wrath. But alas, it was ultimately a failure.

Right now, the [Cage] was nothing more than the playground of the Devil Gods who, aside for the First Born, the Devil of Greed, Mefisto, who should have died 56 years ago during the War of The Braves by Siva's hands, had escaped it when Janus put the key to its gates.

Although they still can't get their true bodies out of there, they can send their wisps of Mana to be injected on possible vessels to house their will.

Normally, it should have only been on NPCs, but because of Kira, Kladis became the vessel for the Devil God of Lust, Eros. In the real world, after Kira and Kladis met in the flesh, Kira brought him to a hotel and from there, Pegasus' agents came in and drugged and kidnapped him.

With Alfred Pegasus' abilities and Moon Base's technological resources, is there anything that he can't do?

Eros was in the King Size bed, smoking a 1966 and filling the room with the smell of the pure and premium-grade tobacco that doesn't really smell that bad at all.

On his lap was Kira, sleeping like a baby, and on his embrace was Sandra —the Priestess that should have died in Horbe but miraculously lived at the last moment when she gambled everything.

"So he's that weak right now?" asked Eros while he massaged the naked Priestess' left breast.

The former innocent Priestess blushed and gave a low moan and squirmed, nodding. She didn't even have the energy to verbally reply.

At that moment, someone moved underneath the blanket —no— it should be said that it's always been moving up and down all this time and it was only because that someone wasn't practiced on the art that the blanket hardly moved at all.

Eros made a low groan and his face was a face of pleasure. A moan resounded underneath the blanket followed by the slurping sounds before it was quiet again.

Soon, the blanket moved and a hand crawled at Eros's stomach then rose up into his chest, and finally revealed the face of the person doing a job underneath the blanket all this time.

It was Pope Ajora —in all her naked splendor and kingdom-ruining seductiveness as she licked her lips to clean up the mess.

"Was I good, Eros-sama?" she asked like a child wanting to be praised or a pat on the head.

Eros laughed and puffed out a cloud, "You did good for a first timer. So, to summarize all of your reports, Siva can teleport almost everywhere in the two sides of the planet using that Immortal's gift, am I right?"

Ajora embraced his lower body and lay there like a child and answered, "According to the reports of the survivors in Maria, Siva had indeed killed Kyle in a fierce head on battle."

"But he didn't use the [God Slayer]?" Eros asked.

It was the most crucial point in all of his worries.

"Yes." Ajora said. "Based on your descriptions of this frightening weapon, no bloody red fires were used in Maria." While she spoke, she sent kisses on his junior every end of her phrases.

Eros made a sinister and sadistic smile and while he did, Ajora gasped and her yelp sounded both happy and excited. She placed herself to begin the job again but Eros lifted her head.

The once lofty and immaculate Pope of the Blood Dragon God Church was a slave for his power at this instant. Given the girl's pride and power, no ordinary Terran or Dragon could ever subdue her aside from him —Eros, the Devil of Lust who can evoke 'Lust' to any living being with a gender.

During battle, this was a very powerful control-type ability and when used in a large scale, there was only a catastrophic end waiting to the victims.

Imagine an entire army, suddenly stopping and stripping their clothes to attack one another... it's a frightening ability that only a Devil of his caliber and level could actually accomplish.

Alas, because this body wasn't his and that there was only a strand of will imbued on the wisp of Mana he sent out, his power was limited, and in fact, even if Eros were to fully integrate his will in this body, it would only reach up to 40% of his full strength with his real body.

Still, considering the standards of the Terrans of this planet, 40% power of a Primordial God-level existence like him was enough to destroy all and every resistance that would face him.

Sandra was more or less, only at the level of a newly ascended Immortal if boosted by the Blood Magic and supported by Blood Prison.

But Pope Ajora is a fully-adult Lao Shan —Nature Dragon— and she was on the Elder God-level of power in all respect.

And yet, in front of Eros, she was like a kitten, a weak creature with almost no defenses. He easily subdued her spirit and all resistance vanished so he was free to tame her however way he liked.

Such was Eros's power.

Back then during the Grand War in Planet Terra, Siva first destroyed Baal and killed Kladis next. It should be said that the reason Baal died first is because of his trash-talking of Terra but when he killed Eros next, it was because of the strategical point of losing a crowd-controlling enemy.

Eros closed his eyes, thinking of the last time he fought Siva. Back then during that war, it was just Mefisto and Sefirah who survived by retreating but he, Lucifer, and the rest of the Devil Gods on their side was eradicated —with Eros and Baal dying even before Siva snapped and started the era of slaughter, the Ragnarok Era.

"Without the God Slayer, Siva is nothing more than a Mortal in our palms. By the way, can't we use that Intel of the boy in Dakar to bring Siva to us?"

"I'm sorry, My Lord, Dakar's strict ruling method is rather unique and their chain of command was so tight that all of our attempts to send in spies were discovered before they could even pass through their front doors."

"They're surprisingly sturdy. No matter. It's only natural that you'd fail. They are an existence that even the owner of this body I'm using now felt a pang of fear in just the mere mention of it."

Eros hits another puff of smoke and blew it up to the ceiling, caressing Ajora's head through the blanket. "To make sure he can't fight back, it'd be better if either of you, or better, both of you and Balaam would be the ones to go when ending him."

"Intel said he's still cooped up in Maria." Ajora said and gave another kiss. "And no one seems to be able to teleport and hyper jump in the air space of Maria."

"Hmmm... that's the product of the incomplete Spatial-sealing Artifact those guys from Blue Card Legion chanced upon during their adventures. It can lock the horizontal planar space on its area of effect."

Ajora stopped and raised her head, "You mean to say that as long as it's outside of the AOE of that Artifact, we can teleport into Maria?"

"That's assuming that you have a free-teleporting Divine Artifact that doesn't rely on coordinates fixed by the T-Device system. As far as I know, it was only the Apus Epirus that has that kind of ability and that also fell into Siva's hands when this loser gave it to him after their duel."

Ajora paused for a moment and spoke as if she only now remembered something, "Ah, I think I know of something that also has that ability to teleport across space without the help of the T-Devices of the Terran-Human Alliance."

"Ho?" Eros looked down at her and smiled, "Why do I not know of that? It's not on the report you gave me when I escaped the cage."

Ajora trembled and a look of fear flashed on her beautiful face. She lowered her head and kissed his fifth limb in a display of submission.

"Please forgive me, My Lord, I didn't know that it would be connected to our current situation."

Eros laughed and lifted her head, "Don't sweat it, I'm not angry. I understand that you have no idea of it. But, well, do tell me the details then."

"Yes. It is a warship. It was called [Archangel] and it was one of the Seven Starships the Dragons and Terrans used 25 or so cycles ago to cross the Star Sea and land here in Terroa."

Eros smiled, "Archangel, eh? I seem to recall that the current possessor of that vessel was a newly formed guild called Tower of Sol..."

Ajora raised her head and said, "I will mobilize all of our forces to collect all data immediately."

Eros smiled and pressed her head down, "Let this little girl do that for you. You just focus on finishing what you've started."

By 'this girl', he meant Sandra, who, by now, was already sane and was just listening as quietly as possible while enduring the pleasure of Eros's expert massage.

Ajora gave Sandra a look and the girl nodded and crawled her way out of the people-filled bed.

But she hasn't even made it far when Eros's left hand stretched out and playfully touched that still swelling newly deflowered slit. Sandra gasped, moaned, and collapsed and trembled while letting out a sweet smelling liquid down her crotch.

She turned her head back at Eros with a teary-eyed 'why did you bully me' expression.

Eros laughed, "Sorry. Reflex."

Sandra took a few short breaths to calm herself and slowly made her way through the horde of sleeping people in the large bed.

Eros only gave her a fleeting a glance and put the 1966 back at his lips, the smoke puffing out of his nose and mouth, his eyes wandering at the scenery outside the window.

Although he seemed to be just your normal and random Casanova, in his mind was the plans he'd been building ever since his desperate escape in that war millions of years ago.

Just like Baal, Invidia, Sefirah, and the rest of the Devil Gods, they were all resentful and wrathful of Siva —the man responsible for their plans for their freedom from this 'world' being delayed all these millions of years.

While Ajora did her job, Eros pondered.

Soon, Siva, soon...

He pulled up a panel window and gazed at a girl's portrait whose beauty arouses absolute lust and a desire for owning. That tinge of slight innocence and modern beauty had this profound feeling of you wanting to just touch her and keep her on your pocket so that no one could have her.

Porcelain-pink white skin, waving blackish deeper blue hair and that tinge of white long forelocks that she hooks on her ear, her glossy pinkish red lips had a sweet smile while enjoying a talk with a friend that's been edited out in the photo as her ocean blue eyes along with long eyelashes that teases you... was all you could look at once you thought of her blinking those gaze in the flesh.

She was like a goddess out of a picture and this made Eros even more smitten at her. Because of her innate beauty alone, it sparked all of his lust and this desire tormented his thoughts day in and day out like lava on his skin.

More than my revenge... she is the reason why I want to kill you right now! All the beautiful women belong to me! All of them are mine!

The picture was, of course, Amanda.

When Eros took over this person's mind, there is also something he inherited aside from all of his memories of the real world. It was his greatest frustration and regret.

This girl was Kladis' obsession and now it was his obsession too.

I will be the one to own her. Eros swore. I will kill you and I will ravage his woman in front of you until you wish to die!
