Chereads / A Gamers Guide to Necromancy / Chapter 37 - That went well

Chapter 37 - That went well

...This really isn't how I saw this going.

Looking at the room full of arguing people, I stay quiet as Serafall, Grayfia, Venelana, Zeoticus, Rias and surprisingly Ajuka Beelzebub argue with the barely sane Sirzechs.

Rias went to both yell at her father and pass on word that she accepted, so I went home...

And then immediately got charged by Sirzechs as she blasted down my door, everyone else chased after her.

"NO! Rias is mine! Mine, mine, mine, MINE!" Sirzechs screams as the powers of destruction spark of her body, she's not taking the news well... I'm just glad theirs so many people between us.

I am not ready to fight her yet, her Aura of Destruction is too OP even for me.

"No, I'm Kuros, I'm not yours and I never have been." Rias shouts back making me wince, that's not going to go well. Sirzechs immediately tries pushing through her fellow Satans to get to me, I'm just glad she's not using magic at the moment, just pure force.

As they continue arguing Sirzechs finally remembers she has magic as she sends a wave of power outwards, blasting everyone but her fellow Satans of their feet before she summons a orb of destruction with a crazed expression, tossing it forwards.

As it streams towards me, a pillar of Ice rises blocking it's path, and my view.

As I let out a sigh of relief, my eyes widen in shock at the sight of the orb moving around the pillar, giving me no time to respond before it hits me sending waves of pain through my body as it is torn apart.

- Ophis -

Heading towards the noise with a frown, her eyes widened slightly as she saw the cookie bringer turn to dust.

A new, completely unwelcome feeling shot through her as she focused on the red haired one with her hand exposed, ignoring the scream from the smaller red haired one she quickly closed the distance as she grabbed the one who had taken the head patter away.

As she grabbed by her throat slamming her into the ground, she prepared to slaughter her, along with everyone else here just to be sure, one of the other somewhat strong ones was saying something but it wasn't worth listening to.

"First of all... that was really fucking rude." a familiar voice said as her eyes widened, quickly turning around to see the cookie bringer walking into the room with a scowl. "Second of all, I can raise the dead... you didn't really think I hadn't made a plan for my own death did you?" he said mockingly as the smaller red-haired girl rushed him, wrapping her arms around him as she sobbed into his chest. "Don't worry Rias, I'm fine. I'm completely fine." he said stroking her hair making Ophis frown in envy.

"...Kuro. Shall I erase them all?" she asked feeling the squirming fool in her grip, she was trying to do... something? She could feel the slightest stinging on her hand but it wasn't really enough to bother her.

"Most of them are friends, it's just the idiot on the ground I have a problem with." he said with a smile as he pulled himself from the small red-haired girls grasp walking towards her, placing a hand on her head and stroking her hair with a small smile which she returned.

"I see, I'll just erase this one then." she said happily, summoning one of her snakes as the worms eyes widened, her struggles intensifying.

"I'm afraid I can't allow that..." another voice said as she turned her gaze towards the only other man in the room, the green haired one. "I can't allow the devil race to be weakened so much, losing a Satan, a ultimate class devil would be... catastrophic." he said as she stared at him with bored eyes.

"I don't care. And you lack the power to stop me worm." she said calmly, watching him flinch at her words. It was good that he understood the difference between them, some lesser beings got arrogant because they were the strongest in their pathetic race. The strongest ant could still be stepped on easily.

"We can survive without her. Do you really want someone so clearly insane in a position of power?" the other stronger devil said, the black haired one.

"Clearly she can't be left as a Satan, but Sirzechs makes up a considerable amount of our military power, we aren't at peace yet and we can't afford to lose her." the green haired on said as sshe went back to what she was doing, ignoring the argument.

Just as she was about to finish the fool the cookie bringer stopped her, not saying anything as he pulled her hand away, patting her head as he did.

She didn't actually care if the fool died, she was just helping in gratitude for the cookies after all. And as he passed her a small bag of them she promptly forgot about her, happily munching away as Kuro lead her to a seat, sitting down himself before he pulled her into his lap, stroking her hair.

As the red fool went to stand up, she lashed out with one of her snakes, binding her and leaving stuck on the floor, then went back to her cookies.

This was the life.

- Serafall -

If she wasn't slightly terrified for her life she might find the sight of Ophis snuggling into Kuro cute.

Ophis had been sending out waves of killer intent ever since she'd arrived, she could see Rias, Zeoticus and Venelana physically struggling to remain standing under the immense pressure. Grayfia was doing slightly better. Rias was almost unconscious before Kuro returned to life, but she seemed to pull together long enough to rush him.

Ophis wasn't doing it on purpose, it was just a physical indicator of her anger, if she was trying then even the Satans would likely have collapsed by now. It was slowly fading as her anger was forgotten, replaced with contentment, but it was a clear reminder of the difference in power between them and her.

This had the potential to be... horrific for both them and the Devil Race, even assuming that they got out of this room alive, she could see dozens of Ophis's snakes looming around the room after all, watching them and reacting to even the slightest movement as they all stayed perfectly still, even Sirzechs had gotten the message. They could lose their lives in an instant, it was only Kuro's words that had stopped Ophis from slaughtering them all...

If his resurrection method took longer, he'd be returning to a slaughterhouse. Or maybe it had taken a longer time? The cookies were freshly baked... he must have gone back to the Dark Tower where time wasn't moving to recover.

So... he'd died, came back to life, did some baking and then returned here to stop Ophis from killing everyone? She'd call him crazy if he hadn't immediately tamed Ophis.

"She's like a pet..." Ajuka said, before his eyes widened as he realised he'd spoken out loud, Ophis glaring at him. She couldn't blame him for letting it slip out, this was his first time seeing Ophis like this after all.

"A pet... Explain." she ordered in between bites.

"I... it's normal for pets to get treats and to be stroked." he stammered out, it was a different experience for the Satan's to be the little fish, but even weakened, Ophis was still far stronger than them all combined.

"...Treats and strokes. I see. That is correct, I am a pet." she said calmly ignoring their baffled looks as she pushed her head against Kuro's hand.

"Good girl, so... we have a bit of a problem. I'm a nice guy, but when one of the leaders of the devil races disintegrates me I have to admit, my forgiveness stops, by the way... disintegration really fucking hurts, I should know since I'm the only person to survive complete disintegration." he said with a glare at Sirzechs, Ophis immediately joined him in glaring.

Kuro had tamed the Infinite Dragon God... and he was using her as a guard dog. Kuro wasn't strong enough to threaten three Satans, but when he had Ophis following his lead he was suddenly more intimidating.

"Ajuka, take Sirzechs away from here, I don't want to see her at the moment. Zeoticus, you go away as well." he ordered making them pause, Ajuka went to speak, before he closed his mouth giving her a nod as he grabbed Sirzechs and Zeoticus and teleported them both away.

"Honestly Rias, we aren't even married yet and I'm already fighting with the in-laws." he said with a sigh, a small smirk on his face.

"I... I'm so sorry, I didn't think Sirzechs would.. I can understand if you've changed your mind..." she said with tears forming in her eyes.

Kuro got up, taking a moment to... clone himself? The second Kuro taking the seat and pulling Ophis back into his lap as the real Kuro closed the distance, wrapping Rias in a tight hug.

"I haven't changed my mind, not even slightly. I'm a pretty stubborn guy, when I make up my mind I don't change it easily, Sirzechs can go fuck herself, you're mine and nothing is changing that." he said with a smile as he tilted her head up, kissing her. Aww... that was surprisingly romantic coming from Kuro... "Also, Sirzechs doesn't want us to marry, so I'd do it even if I didn't want to just to spite her."

...And that was far more what she expected. You'd think Rias would be at least a bit put off at that, but she simply giggled as he wiped her tears kissing her again.

As they finally moved apart slightly, Kuro holding Rias at his side as she cuddled into him, he turned to her with a frown.

"You're lucky I like enough Devils that I haven't just cut off contact with the entire race, seriously why did that nutcase end up a Satan in the first place?" he asked with a scowl.

"Because she's immensely powerful and in Devil Society that means a lot... we will make this up to you, I swear it... just tell me what I can do to fix this." she said quickly, word of Kuro's fertility potions had already spread far through their race, losing them would not end well...

"Hmm... you can decide. I trust you, so I'll leave it up to you." he said with an amused look making her pause.

What could the Devils give Kuro to make up for... his death? Which was a weird thing to think about.

She'd have to think about this...

- Rias -

That was horrific. Watching Kuro just... disappear. She felt like her heart had been ripped from her chest, a feeling that hadn't quite left even after he smugly demonstrated his self-resurrection.

She couldn't let it happen again, so after Serafall had left she excused herself, she had work to do.

Heading back into the Gremory mansion, she headed to Sirzechs office with a scowl, no one could really imprison Sirzechs, she'd just escape from anywhere she was locked up, so she was put under 'house-arrest'.

And Rias didn't trust the deranged nutcase not to keep attacking Kuro, her sister's mad obsession with her was annoying before, but now it was just incredibly disturbing.

But Rias had a plan, a way to put a stop to the threat Sirzechs posed.

Entering the office, she scowled as Sirzechs eyes lit up, jumping from her chair as she went to glomp Rias.

Creating a ball of destruction she watched Sirzechs pause in confusion.

"Rias-tan? You know you can't hurt me right?" she asked in amusement, grinning as Rias scowled before she moved her hand making Sirzechs eyes widen.

"I can't hurt you, but I can hurt myself. There's enough power in the orb to disintegrate my entire body, this is your only warning.. if you hurt Kuro in the slightest, physically, emotionally, socially, in anyway... I'll kill myself." she said coldly as Sirzechs froze in place.

"Rias-tan? Stop playing around..." she said taking a step forwards. As she did Rias moved the orb closer, wincing as her own magic tore through her uniform, getting closer and closer to her chest.

"I'm not playing around. Even if you manage to lock me up somewhere, I'll dedicate my every waking moment to killing myself, if me being with Kuro is putting him in danger, then I'll just erase myself to keep him safe." she said bluntly, watching Sirzechs start to truly panic.

She would not allow her existence to put Kuro in danger, she couldn't defeat her sister, but she could remove the whole reason Sirzechs wanted him dead.

Watching her sister try and think of a response she moved backwards, keeping her magic ready as she made a portal.

"Stay away from Kuro, next time I won't bother coming here, you'll just be finding the dust left over." she said coldly before she teleported back to her clubhouse, wincing as she looked at the damaged flesh on her left breast.

Grabbing one of the left over health potions, she downed it as she watched the skin regenerate. She didn't want to look scarred, Kuro deserved her best after all.

- Kuro -

Oww...

Being disintegrated was an... experience, and one I'd like to never feel again.

I've learnt something important though, my Phylactery works even in other worlds, even if time is paused. Also, my clothes don't survive the trip, unsurprisingly.

I spent a night in the Tower with Serena tending to my sore body, also my soul took a hit in the process... I lost almost 20% of my humanity from being killed, and my body took on just the slightest hints of my unlife, paler skin and red eyes to be exact, no rotting limbs just yet.

The more concerning part was the change in my mind, everything looked dull to my eyes and even Serena irritated me, just the act of living was enough to piss me off before I fixed my soul. Liches have a hatred of Living, which I develop if I let my humanity worsen.

I've devoured two of the three Soul Shards I took from the Second Overlord, I want to keep one in the hopes that Soul Mage will help my track him down later on, but the two I ate were... disgusting.

They tasted like sewage, but despite that the Second Overlord's soul was a powerful one, just one piece was enough to restore 10%, and I just ate some elven souls from the spirits I grabbed to fill the rest up. They restored 2% each... and they tasted like sour berries.

The more powerful the soul, the better it restores my Humanity. Trash mobs aren't good meals, but they can work in a pinch.

I did discover something else... the Second Overlord wasn't as useful skillwise as I had hoped, and I already know why.

The Wizard was a genius mage, but he's dead. The Second Overlord is just an Overlord, and I'm already better than him with Overlord Skills.

My Overlord Fire Magic got a boost from eating his soul pieces, like Fireball.

[Fire: Fireball] (Active)

100 MP to use

Fires a ball of fire at a target

Deal [85%INT] Fire Damage

It used to be 75%, so it has increased, but it's nothing special, it's the same with all the fire magic attacks. They've all increased but it's nothing worth bragging about, maybe there'll be a bigger benefit if I eat his remaining soul, but first I have to rip it out of the body he's hiding in.

For now it served as a meal, a disgusting meal but a meal all the same.

I've simply switched to Nekoshou for now, I'll deal with the whole... cat ears thing if it means I don't have to maintain my soul.

Resting on my bed I frown, feeling somewhat … uncomfortable.

"Are you planning on standing there all night?" I ask after a moment sitting up and making eye contact with Ophis as she stands at the foot of my bed.

"Yes." she replies immediately, tilting her head to the side.

"Look, I'm fine... see? No one is going to attack me overnight, I can''t sleep if you're standing there." I try to explain with limited success. She's decided that she shouldn't leave my side, just in case... it's cute but after two hours of her watching me try and sleep it's losing the cuteness.

"I see... I understand." she said calmly as I laid back down with a sigh of relief, before I paused again.

As she lays next to me, staring at me with the same intensity as ever I sigh.

That's... that's not what I meant at all.

As she manoeuvrers herself into the little spoon position, she nods to herself... just how much has she watched me sleep to know I usually spoon whoever I'm sleeping with at the time.

"Ophis... why are you naked?" I ask calmly as her tiny ass presses against my boxer-covered crotch.

"All the girls who sleep with you are naked. Why aren't you naked?" she asks back, before I can respond she reaches back and tears my boxers from my body tossing them off the bed. "This is how you sleep with girls right?"

...Sleeping naked with the Infinite Dragon God. As her bare ass grinds against my shaft I take a deep breath, trying my hardest not to get an erection.

I can't predict Ophis at all, I don't know how she's react if I do get hard...

- Ophis - Next Morning -

...She'd done something wrong.

He didn't get hard, Kuroka said he would.

Did the cat lie? She could go and interrogate her...

No, she'd seen the videos, he should have gotten hard. Moving away from him she turned him onto his back carefully, moving the quilt off them.

Moving down she frowned thoughtfully, before she got out of the bed and walked off, she knew how to fix this.

- Kuroka -

...Normally whoever dragged her from her bed at 5am would get punished, but she would let it go this time.

Being quite literally dragged along the hallways, she stayed quiet until Lady Ophis wanted her to speak, she wasn't sure what was going on but she wasn't going to test her luck.

As she was pulled into Kuro's room, her nose twitched making her eyes widen in shock... that was undeniably the scent of a male Nekoshou, coming from Kuro's bed.

Her eyes ran over Kuro, normally his naked body would attract her attention, his shaft on display, but this time it was the pair of ears on the top of his head and the twin black tails that attracting her gaze.

Kuro was a Nekoshou now?

...Did he do nothing normally?

"He isn't hard. Explain cat." Lady Ophis said with a scowl as she moved back to the bed, glaring at the soft shaft in displeasure.

"I... you just want him to get hard?" she asked, trying to focus despite the scent of Kuro muddling her mind.

"Yes. You said men got hard when they were happy, I want Kuro to be happy. Did I do it wrong? Never mind, you get him hard cat." she ordered, making Kuroka wonder if Ophis actually knew her name.

This wasn't how she saw this morning going, but she certainly wasn't going to refuse. Mostly because she was fairly certain she'd be erased from existence if she did, but also because she wanted Kuro to impregnate her anyway.

Stripping from her skimpy pyjamas she climbed onto the bed, seeing Ophis kneel next to Kuro as she stared at them with disturbing intensity, never blinking. It was... off-putting, but she wouldn't let it throw her off as she took the shaft into her grasp, stroking it gently as she felt it slowly harden under her soft fingers.

Leaning forwards, she ran her tongue along it's length, smirking as it became fully erect.

As she moved up, ready to mount him she froze as Ophis calmly gripped her arm and tossed her across the room, Ophis probably thought she was being gentle... if she wasn't so strong she would have likely died as she hit the wall.

"You have done your part. Go away cat." Ophis said bluntly as she turned back to the highly confused Kuro as he looked around in bafflement, the sound of her being tossed into a wall waking him up.

...She wanted those kittens, but she wasn't dumb enough to fight Ophis for it, she couldn't repopulate her race if she was erased after all.

As she left she glanced at the frozen expression on Kuro's face with a quiet laugh, at least she wasn't alone in being completely unable to handle Ophis.

- Kuro -

Staying as still as possible, I glance down as Ophis grasps my shaft in her small hand, stroking it slightly.

Her face is inches away from my shaft, and I have no idea how to deal with this.

As she leans forwards, her mouth opening slightly I quickly cast Alter Taste, choosing Cookies as the taste of the day. I don't want to find out what happens if she doesn't like it after all.

As she slowly licks along the shaft her eyes widen, before she opens her mouth as wide as it can go, taking the tip into it, feeding more and more of the hard pole into her mouth before her small size forces her to stop.

Ophis's usual form is that of a Loli after all, she's too small to take the entire length into her mouth, making her frown in annoyance as her tongue swirls around the tip rapidly.

After a moment my eyes widen, feeling her tongue... lengthen, wrapping around my shaft several times as she gives me a... tongue-job? The parts she can't fit in her mouth are quickly covered by her unnaturally long tongue, the tip splitting like a snakes.

...She stole my trick.

As her tongue writhes against my shaft, I suddenly realise just why my girls are always so impressed with my tongue manipulation magic... clutching at the sheets I try to last as she stares up at me with a indecipherable expression.

It's a losing battle, with my shaft completely wrapped in velvety vibrating flesh it's only a matter of time, trying to last longer I look around for anything to distract me, making eye contact with a pair of dark blue eyes.

...Does nobody knock any more?

Looking over the woman calmly standing in the corner of my room, I have to admit... she just radiates power. Not on the level of Ophis, but she's definitely a powerhouse, but I can't think of anyone with pale blue hair in DxD.

Just as I'm about to use Observe, my climax sneaks up on me as Ophis drags my cum from me, her mouth becoming a vacuum as she practically inhales the cum as it bursts forth into her mouth.

After she's convinced no more is coming she backs away, licking her lips happily as she moves of the bed, glaring at the unknown woman.

"Why are you here Tiamat?" Ophis says coldly making me sit up in shock.

Another Dragon? Seriously, did Azazel hang a sign up outside my castle saying 'Powerful assholes welcome'?

"Lady Ophis, I felt your anger last night... I thought it would be best to see if you required my assistance." the dragon in human form replied, looking over Ophis's naked body before she turned to me, an inscrutable look in her eyes.

"I do not... you are trespassing. Kuro, should I kill her?" Ophis asked calmly making Tiamat's eyes widen in shock.

"No, though I do prefer it when people make an appointment instead of just breaking in..." I say sitting up as Tiamat stares at me and Ophis in confusion.

"Okay... I'm going back to the silent room, I've been away too long. Tiamat, behave or I'll erase you." Ophis calmly threatened as she pulled her dress back on and wandered off.

As she left Tiamat turned her gaze back to me, a calculating look in her eyes.

"I was worried Ophis would destroy the world when I felt her rage last night, it was only the fact that it calmed minutes later that made me delay my check-in... I don't know what you did or how you did it, but you are playing with dangerous forces." Tiamat said in judgement.

"I know, but I pity anyone who tries to get Ophis to leave my home, she likes it here. And I'm the reason she calmed down, so you're welcome." I say as I pull my clothes on, making her sigh.

"You do seem to have a way with Lady Ophis... you are the Necromancer Kuro, are you not? I have heard of you." she said with a small smile.

"I am, and you are the Chaos Karma Dragon... I can't say I was expecting to see you."

"I like this world, and when there's a chance it is going to be destroyed I do my best to prevent it, I came here expecting to find Ophis planning her battle with Great Red... not engaged in such acts." she explained as her lips twitched.

"Not going to accuse me of taking advantage of her?" I ask making her laugh outright.

"You could do nothing to Lady Ophis she did not want, if anyone was being taken advantage of it was you. Never thought I'd see the Infinite Dragon God sexually assault a human... or a Nekoshou, your ability to change races is most interesting..." she said after she calmed herself, amusement dancing in her eyes. "I apologise for trespassing, it was rude of me. I let my worry over-ride my common decency." she says gracefully giving me a light bow.

"It's fine, I can understand your worry after all. Will you be staying long?" I ask making her pause.

"Would you be opposed to me renting a room here for the foreseeable future? With Lady Ophis living in our world I feel like I should remain close at hand... I can't stop her if she rampages of course, but I can attempt to keep her calm and content." she asks hesitantly.

"...I'll have the maids prepare a room for you."

Having someone around whose whole purpose is to keep Ophis from going on a rampage? I should be paying her...

- Rizevim -

With the benefit of hindsight, that was probably a mistake...

Painfully pulling himself from the wall he was embedded in, he groaned as his body ached.

Lilith had betrayed him... or to be more precise, she had gotten bored of following him and decided to wander off.

She didn't appreciate him attempting to stop her, hence the pain running through his abused body, the ability to cancel Sacred Gears was fairly useless when a Divine Dragon simply decided to punch you through a castle.

...It would be a pain to fix the Rizevim shaped holes in the walls.

Stealing the power of Ophis seemed like a wonderful idea.. right up until he made a new sentient Dragon God, giving the stolen power a mind of it's own was a mistake, but he couldn't have handled all that power, it would have torn him apart if he even tried.

It was going fine... until Lilith had sensed her... mothers anger and decided that she wanted to go that way, simply destroying everything that got in her path, ignoring all attempts to stop her.

So, there was one Divine Dragon God that wanted to rip him into little pieces for stealing her power... and the only protection he had to stop her from doing that had also decided it didn't want to listen to him any more. Lilith had given him a choice, stay in the wall until she left, or she'd punch him harder next time.

The first 'light' punch had broken all of his ribs and caused one of his livers to explode, possibly his spleen as well.

...He needed healing, now where did he put those Phenex Tears?

Hobbling along on his damaged leg he walked through the holes in the castle walls, stopping and looking at his fine glass cabinet he had used to save the powerful healing elixirs...

Or to be more specific the shattered remains of the fine glass cabinet, he had thought that he'd smashed through something glass on his way through the castle. That would explain the shards of glass stuck in his back.

Maou dammit.

- Kuro -

Ophis is unpredictable, but on the bright side she's gone back to her silent room, and doesn't seem to be planning on leaving it any time soon.

After getting Tiamat a room next to Ophis's I went back to bed, but once again... someone else came to visit me.

I had forgotten just how often I got bothered here.

"So... didn't even want to get dressed?" Azazel asks, slightly amused as I yawn.

I just threw on a pair of boxers and shorts, It's a Saturday so I have no reason to be dressed before midday.

"No, besides it's just you. What do you want this time?" I ask making him laugh slightly... he's acting odd.

"Do you remember Vali? The one I transferred Boosted Gear to?" he asks as his smile vanishes.

"The idiot who almost got erased by Ophis? Yeah, what about him?" I ask making Azazel frown.

"He's my adopted son, and despite his... admittedly idiotic behaviour I do care for him.. which is why I need your help. He has been murdered, and the two Sacred Gears have been stolen. I need you to Resurrect him." he explained with a frown.

"...Someone with Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing was killed? ...Seriously? Who even has the power to do something like that?" I ask after a moment, Vali was strong in Canon, with Boosted Gear he should have been almost unbeatable. "Do you have the body? I can't resurrect him without the corpse."

"I don't, but I'm going to track it down. I wasn't sure what preparations you needed to make, so I thought I'd give you a heads up. I don't care about the cost, only that Vali is brought back." he says seriously, I think this is the most serious I've ever seen Azazel to be honest.

"I already have everything I need for it, once you get the body bring it here and I'll res him... Can't do anything about the missing Sacred Gears though. At least not without the corpses of whoever stole them."

Things are getting... weird. Why did Vali get killed? Clearly something I did changed things but Canon is fucked enough as it is, I don't know who killed him or why...

Oh right... Necromancer.

Summoning Vali's souls I watch as Azazel freezes, seeing the spectral soul of his adopted son.

"What... where am I?" Vali asks looking around in shock. "I was... Azazel? What's going on."

"Here, I'll tie him to you. Should help find out who killed him." I say with another yawn, honestly I don't care who killed him, it's Azazel's problem not mine.

"Thank you... that's a neat trick, come on Vali, let's leave Kuro so he can go back to bed." he says semi-mockingly.

Jokes on him, I am absolutely going back to bed... ever since I unlocked the Nekoshou race I've really enjoyed sleeping, I mean I've always enjoyed sleeping but it's even better now.

- Later -

Looking over the new building on my land, I nod to myself.

My new Alchemy Lab, along with ten alchemists to take over the majority of the production for my potions business, I might add another later on but for now I'm putting the gold I stole from Highschool of the Dead to good use.

Once I have a better idea of how much Demand there will be for my potions, I'll think about adding more labs, but right now I don't have the raw ingredients to warrant adding another, I've set them to make a variety of potions, the Alchemists aren't as good as me, but they are still able to make almost every potion type with the exception of the Elixir of Life and Ambrosia.

The potions they make are around the equivalent of a level 40 alchemist, which are still very strong, even if they aren't a match for my Level 50 Alchemy.

My Death Knights and Bayroks will protect this place, just in case.

I doubt anyone will attack my castle when I have a giant Skeletal Dragon in my backyard but there's no reason to risk it.

Heading back inside with a smile, I pause as my spirits send an image...

Sigh... there's no end to it is there?

Already knowing what was happening before my phone rang, I answer it.

"Hey Sona, I take it this is about Kuoh's new guests?" I ask quickly.

"It is, the Church have sent them. They've gotten permission to enter Kuoh from my sister, but as the three Kings of Kuoh we still need to meet with them, can you get to the Occult Research Clubhouse as soon as possible?" she asks not wasting any time.

"On my way. See you in a moment." I reply as I translocate with my spirit appearing outside the building with a smile. Using summons as Fast Travel points was a wonderful idea.

Entering the building, I look around seeing Rias and Sona sat next to each other, Tsubaki and Akeno behind them as they sit opposite a blonde woman, both frowning slightly.

The blonde seems perfectly happy as she sips some tea, giving me a smile as I enter the room.

Gabriel, the Most Beautiful Woman in Haven

Race – Pure Angel

Tier – 4

LVL – 102

I can see it, in typical Angel fashion she has long blonde hair and green eyes, along with a... let's just say voluptuous body. Honestly I prefer Rias in terms of looks, but I can see why they'd call the the Most Beautiful.

Irina is behind her, looking tense and worried, and Xenovia is next to her... looking just generally pissed off. She glares at me as I enter, making me smirk.

"You are Lord Kuro, correct?" Gabriel asks, her almost musical voice making my dick twitch. "It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Gabriel, one of the Four Great Seraphim, I have been looking forward to meeting you." she says calmly rising and giving me a light bow. As far as first encounters with Heaven go, this is a pretty good one.

"I am, I hadn't realised my reputation had reached Heaven yet..." I say taking a seat next to Rias... I should have brought a 'Queen' of my own, I feel out of place without one.

Summoning Erebus, he takes his place behind me calmly and without a word, Xenovia jumps at his appearance, drawing Excalibur Destruction but Gabriel waves her off with a smile.

"It's fine, he just wanted some support that's all. It isn't fair to expect him to be the only person alone." she says calmly, ignoring Erebus as he towers over the rest of the room.

"So, what brings a Great Seraphim to Kuoh?" I ask calmly.

"Show some respect, Necromancer. You're speaking to one of the leaders of Heaven." Xenovia immediately says making me scoff, what did I do to piss her off?

"That's nice, but I'm not Christian.. and this is Devil Territory. You aren't in Church Territory, I suggest you remember that..." I say with a bored smirk, watching her grip her sword in anger.

"Xenovia, it's fine. Please calm down." Gabriel says soothingly.

"I... yes, Lady Gabriel. I'm sorry, it is just... irritating to see him practically broadcasting his... Heresy." she says making me pause.

"Heresy? Again, I'm not Christian, and the only time I've been to church was so I could rob the graves, so yeah I guess I'm pretty Heretical." I admit with a smile, watching Xenovia's glare intensify. I already don't like her.

"I believe she was talking about the Mark you have from Izanami, but I would request that you don't defile any of our graveyards please..." Gabriel said serenely.

"Sure, I have enough corpses that I don't need to resort to robbing graves any more... still, you were about to explain why you're interrupting my weekend?" I ask, enjoying the burst of anger from Xenovia.

The Church annoys me... and I'm not even sure why.

"Of course, I have already explained this to your fellow Kings, but several pieces of Excalibur have been stolen, and we have tracked the thief to Kuoh... we are here to request permission to search for the thief and retrieve our swords." she asked, huh... actually asking permission? Didn't the two exorcists basically just say 'stay out of our way' in Canon.

"I have no problem with it, as long as you stay out of my Castle and keep your hands of my Excalibur Piece." I say summoning Excalibur Ruler with a smile. "I got this from Arthur Pendragon fair and square, and you aren't taking it from me." I say bluntly.

Kiba knows I have it, so it's bound to come out eventually. Better to deal with it now in a controlled environment.

"I see... I did see a report that you resurrected one of the Pendragon's, so that was your payment." Gabriel asks calmly, despite the shocked look on Xenovia and Irina's faces.

"Not quite, Arthur offered me everything he had, including his life in exchange for Le Fay's resurrection. He serves me now, and Excalibur Ruler is just a part of the payment." I say calmly.

"Ahh, a brothers love is a powerful thing. I imagine he sees it as a bargain." she replies with a smile.

"Lady Gabriel, you can't seriously be planning on letting him keep it?! He's a Heretic, he can't be allowed to keep the most powerful of the Excalibur's..." Xenovia stutters.

"I would like to see you try and take it, mortal." Erebus rumbles, making her glare at him.

"Excalibur Ruler has never been in the Churches hands, it is not our place to attempt to take it." Gabriel says calmly, you know... I think I like her.

"It is a weapon of God, surely He would want it to be in Church hands?" she asks, glaring at me.

"I don't think Big G wants much any more..." I say, watching her glare intensify. If looks could kill I'd be back in the Dark Tower right now.

"B-big G?! Do you not care for the punishment your immortal soul will receive upon your death? How dare you insult God with such a disrespectful nickname?" she practically roars as I grin.

"Not even remotely, I'd have to die and stay dead to be punished, and even if I did my soul would go to Izanami. So no, I really don't care. Besides, where in the bible does it say I can't call the G man by nicknames? I'm not going to call him by the name that would hurt my fiancée after all." I say making her pause.

Each time she has said God, the devils have flinched slightly.

"Xenovia, calm yourself. He is only trying to anger you." Gabriel says calmly, giving me a disapproving look.

"She's not wrong." I admit with a smile, making Xenovia scoff as she looks away from me.

"There is something else we would like to discuss with you specifically, Lord Kuro... about your resurrection powers to be exact." Gabriel says getting my attention.

"... I would have thought my powers would be too 'heretical' for the Church." I admit making Gabriel smile.

"That is what I am here to try and work out... while taking souls from Heaven is absolutely Heretical, I want to witness you resurrect someone so I can help Heaven decide whether it is Heresy... Irina?" she prompts making Irina jump.

"Issei Hyoudou... that's who we were hoping you would resurrect." she says quietly, hope colouring her tone.

"Issei... there's a slight problem with that." I admit in deep thought. "Well, two problems to be honest."

"What would those be? If the resurrection requires ingredients or reagents then Heaven will provide them, it is only fair as we are the ones requesting it." Gabriel asks soothingly, making me raise an eyebrow. She's nice.

"Nah, I have everything I need. Except for two things, Issei's body and his soul. Without a body I can't do anything." and they definitely don't have it... cause I do. "And his soul is in Izanami's grasp, I made a deal with his mother to bring him back as a spirit for one night, but afterwards his soul returned to the Goddess of Death. And he has pissed her off... a lot." I say with a laugh.

"How could a mortal child have gained the wrath of a Goddess?" Gabriel asks before Irina can say anything.

"He's a massive pervert, and Izanami is hot. I'm sure you can guess. But it means she's been putting a lot of effort into punishing him." I say in amusement, making Irina flinch. "Still, I can ask her for the soul, but I'm not risking my relationship with her over a idiotic pervert." I say with a shrug.

"I will speak with her myself, forgiveness is a virtue after all." Gabriel says after a moment.

"A Christian Virtue... you realise that Izanami hates Christianity right? She has some grudge with your God." I say making Gabriel sigh.

"She's just bitter that she isn't the one true God." Xenovia cuts in again making Gabriel give her a disapproving look. "All the other gods are simply pretenders."

"But they're pretenders that are still alive... more than your Dead God can say." I say mockingly, watching everyone's eyes widen in shock. Oh right.. God's death is supposed to be a secret... Whoops?" I say sheepishly as Gabriel sighs sadly, the Devils stare at me in shock and the Exorcists in disbelief.

Whoops.

- Daily life in the Multiverse – Kokabiel - AN

Ophis's rage had been felt even here... which was a bit of a problem for him, a lot of his Fallen and the Exorcists had fled in terror, not willing to stay so close to the Dragon God.

He'd killed them all, obviously. He had no room for cowards, and it had stopped any of the others from getting any similar ideas, there would be no mercy for cowards.

Fortunately, the stronger members of the attack force hadn't joined the traitors, either being too arrogant, too stupid or too insane to flee from the unwinnable battle.

Still... it gave him an idea. He wanted to be remembered, and wouldn't the world remember the Fallen Angel that sent Ophis into a rampage? If he could make her rage she'd destroy everything in her path.

The non-magical humans would take notice if the damage was enough, the Devils couldn't erase everyone's memories after all, especially if the humans managed to record it with their technology.

What would happen if the regular humans suddenly realised they had Devils, Angels and Youkai living amongst them?

What would they do?

He probably would never know, he'd be dead by then. But as the man who pulled down the facade of normality his name would be remembered... forever.

Whether it was cursed or hated he didn't care, infamy was just as good as fame after all.

- Himawari's Past – -

"Gotta admit, I didn't see this coming." I say with a smirk as I look at the blushing couple, I'm lying of course... it took some subtle Eromancy to get to this point after all.

"I realise this must be a surprise... but you're the only person we can trust with this." Neji says calmly, Tenten blushing deeply next to him.

I've spent a while putting the thought of me and Tenten into Neji's mind, Erotic Dreams works with guys as well after all, and Inflict Fetish was enough to make Neji develop a cuckolding fetish.

Neji owes me anyway, I'm the only reason he even survived the war. When he went to do his big self-sacrifice moment I just destroyed the attack that would have killed him. Seriously, all those Ninjas and none of them had a plan better than just block the attack with their bodies?

"It's fine... I can't say I'm not interested..." I say standing up and walking over to Tenten. "Shall we take this upstairs?" I ask pulling her up as her blush intensifies.

"Y-yes... If you're sure about this Neji?" she asks hesitantly making Neji smile and give her a light kiss.

"I am, thank you for agreeing to this..." he says calmly as I take Tenten's hand, leading her upstairs. As we walk, I reach down and place my hand on her ass, squeezing it slightly making her yelp.

Tenten isn't sure about this but she does love Neji and he's been trying to get her to agree for a while now. I could have used Eromancy to get her to agree much sooner, but I thought it'd be more interesting to get her to agree without any input from me.

As we enter the bedroom, I calmly strip off making Tenten blush as she slowly does the same, Neji simply takes a seat on a chair in the corner of the room, simply watching as Tenten lets her top fall to the ground, exposing her breasts clad in a plain white bra.

Tossing my shirt off to the side, I watch as she lets her bra fall to the ground, her perky breasts topped with cute little pink nipples, her hands cover them almost immediately but I simply close the distance of us and grab them, moving her hands to her side.

"No need to be shy, I'll be seeing much more of you tonight after all..." I say with a smirk as I reach up and grope one of her breasts gently. As she goes to speak, I capture her lips with my own.

Her eyes widen but she doesn't resist as my tongue slips into her mouth, nor does she stop me from undoing her belt and pulling her bottoms and panties down.

As I make her step out of her bottoms, leaving her standing naked, I spot Neji undoing his own bottoms as he watches us.

Letting my own trousers drop, I push Tenten onto her knees. She's practically frozen as she just lets me manoeuvrer her however I want, her eyes wide as I rest my shaft on her head, rubbing it across her face.

She honestly seems... shell-shocked at how this is going.

- Tenten -

As Kuro smirked down at her, she wondered how it had come to this.

Her husband was watching another man rub his massive dick across her face... and he was enjoying it. Glancing to the side she saw Neji stroking his... far less impressive shaft to the sight.

"Open wide." Kuro ordered, griping one of her buns.

Whether she was trying to speak, or she was obeying his orders she honestly couldn't say, but as her lips parted he fed his thick shaft into her mouth, his hands gripping both her hair-buns as he pulled her head further and further down his shaft.

As he started thrusting into her mouth, she moved her tongue gently along his shaft, swirling it around the tip invading her body. She didn't know how to handle this at all... she could feel herself slobbering over his shaft as he roughly fucked her face, her eyes watering.

Neji was incredibly passive in the bedroom, he never tried taking command. The first thing he had ever asked her to do in the bedroom... was to sleep with another man.

She'd been shocked when he brought the idea up, but from how frantically he was jerking off over in his corner he was clearly enjoying himself, perhaps even more than he did when it was just them...

It was for Neji, she just had to get through this...

If he wanted a threesome she could have understood, but he clearly had no plans on joining them, quite content in his corner.

Looking back up at Kuro through blurry eyes, she flinched at the amused look in his eyes, she should never have admitted to Neji that she'd been with Kuro before.

She'd never dated him, but during the war she made a drunken bet with him that ended with her losing her virginity, in her defence she was sure she could win, after all it was a test of kunai accuracy, and he'd bet one of the Seven Swords of the Mist he'd gathered.

She'd been angry when he'd suggested she offer her body as her wager, but she was so sure she'd win...

Even after all this time, she still knew what to expect when he grew tired of her mouth, his dick was massive... and his stamina was terrifying. They'd be going until sunrise, maybe even longer if Kuro had nothing to do tomorrow.

As he pulled her buns down, forcing her to deep-throat him she felt his shaft twitch, bracing herself as best she could she tried to prepare for the cum that she knew was about to fill her mouth.

She failed, her eyes widening as a truly massive load flooded her cheeks, she tried to swallow as much as possible, but it was a fools errand. She could feel it leak out from her mouth, trailing down her chin and dripping onto her breasts.

As he let go of her buns, she pulled back just in time to get the final burst of his seed onto her face, wincing as it hit her.

Before she even had a chance to wipe the hot cum from her face, Kuro grabbed her and casually tossed her onto the bed... yeah, that's basically what she expected from him.

As she was manoeuvred onto her hands and knees facing Neji she made eye contact with her husband, before she looked down at the cum staining his hand. He'd already finished, but he was still hard... normally it took Neji about an hour to recover after he finished... he was really enjoying seeing her like this...

As she felt Kuro grip her waist, she stared ahead keeping her eyes on her husband even as Kuro's large shaft was sheathed inside her, drawing a loud moan from her as he started moving.

"H-he's so big..." she moaned out, watching Neji's reaction. The moment the words left her mouth, his hand sped up frantically stroking himself... her husband had a strange fetish, but if this is what he wanted...

Letting her moans fill the room, she watched as Neji came again, his small load coating his hand even as he kept stroking, his shaft staying hard.

Kuro sped up, railing into her ruthlessly, occasionally placing a harsh spank on her ass, laughing at her yelps.

She was too used to Neji's gentle thrusts, even knowing how much of a beast Kuro was hadn't prepared her for this... clutching the bed sheets she tried to keep her mind, despite the waves of uncontrollable pleasure.

As Kuro gave one final thrust, his hot seed filling her womb she lost the battle, letting out a loud moan as she joined him in climax, her arms failed her as she fell face first on the bed.

Before she even had a chance to recover from her intense orgasm, she felt him simply pull out of her abused pussy... and press the tip against her asshole, thrusting forwards before she could stop him.

Her eyes widened as unexpected pleasure rushed through her body, Kuro gripping her hair and forcing her to look up at Neji as he took her anal virginity.

She couldn't tell whose eyes were wider, hers or Neji's...

- Next Day -

Walking home, she winced with each step, her body sore and tied from a night of abuse.

"Thank you for agreeing to do that..." Neji started, his arm around her as he helped her walk. "I know you weren't looking forwards to it... I won't ask you to do it again."

Pausing, she felt herself pale at the thought of never experiencing the non-stop pleasure Kuro forced on her again.

"...maybe it wouldn't be that bad to do it again, just every so often..." she started, seeing Neji's eyes widen in hope. "But next time, we're doing it at our house... and I'm arranging a day off for the next day, Kuro's say bigger than I'm used to." she said before freezing, looking at Neji. She'd deliberately not made any comparisons between them out loud after all... she didn't want to hurt his pride after all.

Looking down she sighed, seeing a slight bulge in his pants... why did she even bother?
