In the seemingly endless expanse of open water at the bottom of the ocean, there was a temple that was surrounded by a giant air bubble sitting there silently, undisturbed for centuries. At each of the four compass points of the temple there was a magic circle waiting to be activated, until one started flowing and four people suddenly appeared. They looked around for a few minutes before Alex said,
"This should be it, I guess we need wait for everyone else to show up first." Shizuku, Kaori, and Hajime nodded at his words, and then proceeded to look around what seemed to be the labyrinths hideout while they waited. After the soldiers that were screaming about God appeared Alex had left Shizuku to fight the ones on that particular ship for training, while he flew up high and started sending out a bombardment towards different ships. It was then he sensed a familiar presence and saw Hajime using his air platforms to run through the sky while Kaori flew along beside him. They were both seemingly annoyed and fought the projected soldiers with extreme prejudice, which made Alex wonder what they did to suffer the twos wrath. After the entire battle was brought to an end they were dumped back in the ship graveyard once more, before heading to the largest and most grand wrecked ship around.
There they found themselves in yet another projection except this one didn't show a war, but a meeting of peace between humans, demihumans, and even the demon race. The members of each race showed how close they were by looking at each other with respect and awe, before the human king declared death to all heretics, and ordered his men to execute them. What followed was a slaughter as the rulers of the demihumans and the demon race were butchered by human soldiers, who were just as confused as their victims as their bodies moved automatically while the king laughed insanely and reentered his cabin while a hooded man with silver hair followed him. After that they followed the king into the cabin, only to fight a small army of ghosts before finally finding the magic circle that led them to the temple.
"I thought the great labyrinth would be more challenging than that though?" Hajime said confusingly, to which Alex replied,
"Yeah but you have to remember that we used a sub to enter in the first place instead of magic power like they intended, and then it took magic power to defeat an entire army of deranged soldiers and ghosts. If it was a group of "normal" people this labyrinth would have been next to impossible to finish." Hajime just shrugged at Alex's words while both Kaori and Shizuku nodded in understanding, before another magic circle started glowing to reveal Gasper, Valerie, and Anne. Anne then saw Alex and immediately ran over before leaping into his arms and saying,
"Finally I found you!" Before seemingly trying to smother him with kisses. Though Alex reciprocated Anne's enthusiasm, he couldn't help but ask,
"We weren't separated for that long, why do you seem so desperate?" Anne then mumbled while burying her face in his chest,
"I was alone with just that idiot couple over there... Now I think I know how Hajime felt while traveling with us before we met up with Kaori." Alex could only gently comfort her while Hajime pretended that he couldn't hear what she said. After a few minutes the three then started recounting what they experienced while they were separated, before eventually the other two magic circles also started lighting up. First was the one that revealed Kuroka, Grayfia, Tio, and Shia who seemed to be fighting exhaustion with everything she had; then was the one that revealed the duo of Asia and Rias, while the blonde blur that was Yue immediately ran to Alex's embrace like Anne had. Though he wanted to know what happened, he just said that since everyone was gathered together they should wait on telling stories until after they finished the labyrinth. This ended up being a good decision since the moment they stepped onto the magic circle that was located inside the temple, they all saw what everyone else experienced while they were separated as the magic determined if they truly passed the labyrinths trials.
First was the battlefield that Anne, Valerie, and Gasper found themselves on, an open field where two armies clashed in bloody battle. Then it showed the spanning metropolis city that Grayfia, Tio, Shia, and Kuroka ended up in as another army invaded it. Then it showed a mountain temple where Rias, Yue, and Asia ended up at as the army tried to repel those who would destroy the temple due to representing the wrong God. Not only did each of these places have battles as opposing sides fought for the sake of their respective gods, but they also showed some hooded or silver haired people around when things took a sudden turn in order to prolong the conflicts. It had also shown each person as they fought against the projections, from Shia entering berserk mode and rampaging around the already ruined city, to Rias and Yue fighting and destroying entire mountains in their wake. Much to their horror however, it also showed Alex and Shizuku as well as Hajime and Kaori before they fight the projections. Alex didn't mind much, but when it got to the part where he kissed Shizuku she immediately turned Crimson and hid her face behind her ponytail as everyone turned to look at her incredulously. Kaori was going to eagerly discuss the event with her best friend, but froze when the memory scan started showing her and Hajime.
"NOOOOO! DON'T LOOK!!!!!!" She cried out in desperation while Hajime also started letting out a little bloodlust as if daring Alex and Gasper to look at the scene, even though it was being projected directly into their minds so they had no control over what they saw. They then witnessed Kaori stripping down while talking with Hajime, before jumping onto him and beginning her ride after another moment of discussion.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Kaori cried out as all her shameful areas and erotic face was exposed for everyone to see. Hajime looked as if he was about to start attacking Alex and Gasper as they watch the scene, before Alex delivered a full power flick to his head and stated,
"Who asked you to start screwing in the labyrinth? Even I haven't fallen to that point... yet." Though several people wanted to comment about how Alex said 'yet', they didn't since Hajime had actually done it before he did. The girls then looked at Kaori with an expression of pity for her situation, and something else as stated by Kuroka.
"I feel sorry for her only getting something so small to satisfy herself with~Nya." Hajime felt like he'd been shot at those words, while almost every girl that had slept with Alex stared nodding their heads as they stared mentally comparing. Hajime then practically both growled and whined,
"Why do you guys keep talking like I'm small? I'm at least average or even a bit bigger than average, he's just stupidly large." Though Hajime was speaking the truth, everyone except Gasper just looked at him with pity as well which only saddened and irritated him even more. Before he could retort the mind check ended and everyone was confirmed to have passed the trials before they were awarded the promised age of gods magic.
"'Regeneration' huh?" Asia said as the way to use said magic was also transferred to them. Alex grinned like a madman and immediately took out a knife to cut open his palm, before it shined with the orange light of his magic and the cut he made was slowly healed after a minute.
"A little slower than I would like, but hopefully as I train it it'll get better." Everyone looked at Alex's example with awe, and Valerie asked,
"So this is the age of gods magic you wanted Asia and I to get?" Alex nodded but added,
"There's also 'spirit' magic like what Miledi used to turn into a golem, if these two are combined then one could even resurrect those who have recently died, however it won't work on those who have been dead for a while since their spirit has more than likely already moved on. Though there are still things that the holy grail can do that this magic can't, it should still make things easier for you since you now have an alternative to rely on." This got both Gasper and Valerie excited since she could now be more useful without having to deal with possible insanity from overusing the Grail, though it would still be needed for some things like restoring Miledi's body. As everyone was thinking of ways to try out their newly acquired magic, a sudden rumbling grabbed their attention as a wall of water started rushing towards them.
"Oh fuck not again!" Hajime exclaimed while Alex calmly ordered,
"Grayfia, we're done here so transport us to Remia's house." The silver haired maid didn't even hesitate before a magic circle spread below everyone and they vanished right as the wall of water reached them to flush them out.
***
Remia was humming quietly in her kitchen as she prepared breakfast for everyone that was still staying to discuss the Dagon relocation. Currently Myuu, Yasaka, Roygun, and Kunou were taking their bath together while Millicas helped her in the kitchen and Bova was sitting on the floor of the living room since she didn't have any furniture suitable for him. At that moment the floor around him started flowing and Bova swiftly moved to the side as an entire group of people appeared from nowhere. Though she was startled for a moment, Remia immediately recognized everyone and Bova immediately greeted Alex by saying,
"Welcome back my liege! I trust your trip bore fruit?" Alex smiled and said,
"Yep, you know Bova you should try a labyrinth or two while we're in Tortus. The one we cleared prior to this one was even in a volcano so you'll probably be right at home." Bova looked thoughtful at Alex's words, as since he ate the 'Megu Megu no mi' the heat of a volcano would certainly be negligible to him as his entire body was now made of lava. He was thinking that he might go to check it out when Remia disturbed his thoughts and said,
"Ara ara Bova, don't you know that the wife gets priority when welcoming her husband back? Welcome back husband~." Hearing her words the girls showed light expressions of annoyance, but they let it slide since they were already getting used to how Remia acted. However she soon wrinkled her nose and said,
"You all smell like you've swam through a sea monsters stomach, I'm cooking breakfast right now so why don't you all go and try to figure out a bath situation? The girls are already taking one so be mindful." At her words everyone smelled themselves hesitantly, before realizing just how pungent they became while walking around on the ocean floor. They then went to dutifully clean themselves, with Hajime and Kaori disappearing into their assigned room while Gasper and Valerie did the same, both groups with portable baths that Hajime made. Alex and the rest of the girls however went to the main bathroom to join Yasaka and the others, while Tio dragged the protesting Shizuku behind her.
"PAPA!" Myuu cried as she ran over to him the moment her entered the bathroom.
"I'm back Myuu, were you good while I was gone?"
"Of course! Millicas and Kunou kept me company along with auntie Yasaka and Roygun! Bova also let me fly on his back yesterday!" Even though they had only been gone for a day and a night Myuu told him all about her apparent adventures with the others while Yasaka helped her dress on their way out. Alex then said,
"Go on and you can tell me all your stories later, I'm a little stinky right now so I need a bath." Myuu wrinkled her nose just like Remia did and said,
"Yeah papa smells, take a bath stinky!" She then giggled mischievously and followed the others out while Alex and the rest of the girls started undressing, though Shizuku tried to hide as she did and wrapped herself in a towel so fast that Alex didn't even get a chance to see anything. Though it took quite a bit of scrubbing and soap, the smell and grime was soon gone from their bodies as everyone then started getting into the large bath. Alex was thankful that the Dagons loved water so much that they even had large bathrooms as well as tubs.
As he relaxed in the hot water Alex sent a naughty look in Grayfia's direction, which made the silver haired maid sigh as she started making her way over. Alex then pulled himself out of the water and sat on the edge as Grayfia made her way between his legs and took his length in her hands. He then laid back and enjoyed her masterful hand and mouth work that thankfully seemed to be affected by her 'Bed Skills' skill, though she still refused to accept the 'Naughty Maid' job. He then laid back on the floor and just enjoyed her work while the girls were watching and waiting, until he felt another tongue moving up and down his length, prompting Alex to look down and see Tio squeezing in next to Grayfia between his legs. She dragonfied her tongue as it moved up and down and curled around him, causing Grayfia to stop her service and mutter,
"So you taught him that huh?" Before resuming her own work. Alex chuckled lightly and closed his eyes again as he enjoyed himself, so a little later he didn't notice someone else enter the bathroom until she said,
"Ufufufufufu, mind if I join in on the fun?" Alex opened his eyes to see a beautiful face wreathed in emerald green hair and fins for ears looking down at him. He smiled and said,
"Feel free, the more the merrier." Remia smiled as well, before lowering her face to Alex's and planting her lips against his. After a few seconds she separated from him and started crawling forward, soon bringing her decently sized breasts into his view. As the mounds passed his face Alex saw the red beads on their tips pass closely to his mouth, before he swiftly nipped on one lightly.
"Ahhhh!" She moaned slightly at the sudden stimulation. Though she was tempted to have Alex give her breasts some attention, Remia still crawled lower as he released the little bead. Soon one of the tongues down below was replaced with hers and Alex instead had an eyeful of her freshly shaved slit that still had a small green patch above it.
"Ufufufu, it's been been years since this area's had any attention, can you please fix that?" She asked in what seemed like a pleading voice. Alex didn't say anything, but instead helped himself to the meal before him, causing Remia let out another small moan as she felt his tongue enter her. As they continued everyone became so engrossed with watching Alex and Remia, that they all failed to notice Shizuku escape the bathroom shortly after Remia entered. Alex was enjoying himself quite a bit at the moment, which was why when he suddenly received a call from Meld via magic circle he couldn't help being a little annoyed.
