In the Saints and Demons Hall, Tenraku lazily sat on the throne, resting his head on one hand, while several beautiful female magicians attended to him, massaging his shoulders and legs on both sides.
At a certain moment, a magic array unfolded, and the tall and seductive Katerea, along with several other female magicians, walked out and bowed to Tenraku on the throne.
"Master, we have gathered the information you desired," They said.
"Speak," Tenraku replied while raising his head.
"Since the collapse of the former Demon King's faction, the Khaos Brigade has been almost completely controlled by the Hero faction," One of the magicians reported. "The leader of the Hero faction is a man named Cao Cao, who possesses a True Longinus. His power is unfathomable, and it is said that he is a descendant of the Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms Era."
"Under Cao Cao's command, the Hero faction has been kidnapping and brainwashing a large number of Sacred Gear wielders, who are holders of powerful artifacts," Another magician added. "Recently, they have released these Sacred Gear wielders, allowing them to attack important strongholds of various powers around the world."
Katerea, with a solemn expression on her face, conveyed the information she had gathered. As a former member of the Khaos Brigade, she held a deep fear for the man named Cao Cao.
"Interesting, is he trying to antagonize the entire world?" Tenraku asked, a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
"That man doesn't have ambitions to dominate the world. Although there is no concrete evidence, based on my understanding of him, I suspect he is conducting a simple experiment," Katerea hesitated before responding.
"Go on," Tenraku urged, showing some interest in this.
"If I'm not mistaken, that man intends to use this method to create a group of Sacred Gear wielders capable of achieving the Forbidden Move state," Katerea speculated as she pushed up her glasses.
Tenraku couldn't help but glance at Katerea. Besides being blinded by ambition, this woman was actually quite shrewd!
Although Tenraku had forgotten many details of the various plotlines after spending many years in this world, he still had an impression that Cao Cao's objective, as Katerea guessed, was to create a group of Sacred Gear wielders capable of reaching the Forbidden Move state.
If the chance of being a host for Sacred Gear was one in a million, then the probability of reaching the Forbidden Move state with a Sacred Gear was even rarer, and it was only one in ten thousand!
This required not only effort, opportunity, and luck but also the innate talent to control Sacred Gear, a talent not possessed by everyone, unlike Tenraku who effortlessly achieved the Forbidden Move with his Sacred Gear Plunderer Ability.
Ordinary Sacred Gear wielders found it difficult to reach the Forbidden Move of Sacred Gear. Although Cao Cao's methods seemed crude, they were actually very effective.
By letting those who possessed Sacred Gear act as guinea pigs against the powerhouses of major factions, miracles were often created when their lives were hanging by a thread.
Even if dozens or even hundreds of people were sacrificed, as long as one of them reached the Forbidden Move of Sacred Gear, it would be a profit. Those who could do such things were either great heroes or outright villains!
However, whether Cao Cao was a hero or a villain, it had nothing to do with Tenraku. What concerned Tenraku was the benefits he could gain from it.
Those Sacred Gear wielders were just a group of experimental guinea pigs for Cao Cao, but to Tenraku, they were all excellent delicacies that could enhance his power.
However, Tenraku was not in a hurry. Cao Cao wanted those test subjects to reach the Forbidden Move of their Sacred Gear, and Tenraku shared the same desire. After all, obtaining a Sacred Gear in the Forbidden Move state would provide a much greater boost in power than a regular Sacred Gear.!
"Keep a close eye on the situation of those Sacred Gear wielders, and report to me immediately if there's any news," Tenraku commanded Katerea after pondering for a while.
"Yes, Master," Katerea replied with a smile as if she could guess Tenraku's thoughts.
Katerea is tall and seductive by nature and she became even more enchanting under Tenraku's influence. As Tenraku looked at this damned enchantress, a surge of restlessness ignited within him.
"You all did well this time. Come forward and receive your rewards," Tenraku said as he bent his finger with a smiling face.
Katerea and several female magicians blushed before they obediently knelt down on the ground and crawled toward their wicked master…
…
The next day, in the early morning…
Tenraku yawned as he opened his eyes.
Xenovia and Irina lay on his left and right sides, tightly embracing Tenraku's waist. Asia, like a kitten, nuzzled against Tenraku's chest, with a cute stream of drool running down from the corner of her mouth.
Although he had already been intimate with Rias and her female companions, Tenraku wasn't so ferocious that he slept with all the girls every night.
Even though he didn't have any objections with that, the girls couldn't withstand being tossed around by him every day. Yubelluna and Rias often spent the night with Tenraku alone, while the other girls brought their "Partners" to share the bed.
The most common combination was the pair of bishops, Tosca and Mihae, and the pair of twin sisters, Ni and Li, who were both pawns.
Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarner, the three Fallen Angel girls, formed another group, while Xenovia, Irina, and Asia, the three former members of the Church, made up yet another group.
Of course, with Akeno joining them, there had been some slight changes recently, but overall, it was more or less like this. After rewarding Katerea and the others last night, Xenovia, Irina, and Asia were the ones who came to sleep with him.
Xenovia's life goal was to have children with her Holy Lord Sama, while Asia wanted to dedicate her body and everything to her master. Irina, though she protested on the surface, was actually more honest than anyone else when it came to her body!
Moreover, at the wicked request of someone, Xenovia and Irina even offered their battle outfits, while Asia presented her Saintess attire. After a night of madness, all the battle outfits and the Saintess attire were reduced to tatters, scattered on the floor of the room. But the girls had grown accustomed to it; it wasn't the first or second time this had happened…
Just as Tenraku was considering whether to engage in some morning exercises, there was a sudden sound of the door opening, followed by Rias walking in.
"Ri-Rias!"
"Ugh… Rias Nee Sama…"
Xenovia and the other girls also woke up by the sound and upon seeing Rias entering the room, their faces turned red with embarrassment and they hurriedly buried themselves under the sheets.
Although they had seen each other's bodies before, being suddenly stared at by Rias like this was still extremely embarrassing.
"Rias, you didn't want to come over last night, so you couldn't resist it anymore, right?" Tenraku lazily sat up and teased Rias.
"Wh-who couldn't resist it!"
"We have an important guest visiting, and you all are still lazing around. I came here specifically to call you!" Rias's face flushed as she spoke with a somewhat annoyed expression.
"Uh… an important guest?" Tenraku realized the situation and felt a bit embarrassed. But he was still puzzled. Who would come to visit him at a time like this…
