"First thing is to recreate all the missing parts for the engine. Begin assembly, Aurora." I ordered the A.I. as I walked towards the car.

Dinner was finished, watching an annoyed Athena was fun for the first few minutes before it just gets boring. So instead, I decided to return to something much more interesting.

[Understood, beginning transmutation of the pieces that need to be replaced.] 

I nodded at her, before starting to disassemble the front of the car. It was quite easily done as I am using psionic energy. The process of which is simply to put my hand on the piece, send some energy into it, find the screws and the bolts, and undo them. Then the part comes off. rinse and repeat.

Easily enough, the whole front was disassembled in less than an hour. It was quite weird to look at an entirely pure machine like this. Even my Starscream fighters are half magical.

Just by working on this, I realised how… backwards this was. However, this allowed me to adapt. Just by looking at this, I know how to improve, what to rip off, and what to add. 

Half of the engines are not needed and can be easily discarded. The internal combustion engine sound can easily be replaced because I've always loved the sound of the BMW.

[The parts are finished, according to the scans I did before.] 

To my side, quite a large pedestal came out of the ground and it was full of car engine parts.

But, before those can be put on, I need to first fix the one which I can fix regularly, as they only have some bents and can be easily fixed… Well, that's what a normal person would do.

With my hand, I motioned the fixable part to fly and follow me towards the workshop tables.

Psionic powers helped me quite a bit with this work. How many people have ever worked around a car and not even once got dirty with oil? Not many. And I am part of that club. Because, so far not, even a drop landed on my clothes. At least for now…

Quickly enough, I started fixing the parts, quite easily actually… Transmutation is the answer to many things. And these are included.

Just turn them into a liquefied state and then turn them back into the parts I want. Before long, all of them were fixed, and I went back to the car.

With a simple hand motion, I made them fly into the car and start getting them assembled again. Once the engine was fixed, I started patching up the frame…

It was quite easy, especially with the amount of mind power that I have, I could easily bend metals however I want. And with the magic circles helping, it was even easier. The paint was, well, easy… magic easily solved that as well.

Before I knew it… it was the evening and the car was fixed…

Sitting leisurely in my blue BMW M3 E36… it was quite nostalgic, the ancient dashboard, no inboard computer, no GPS, the gearbox was manual… Well, the car was from 2003...

Still though, after…running the engine for a bit, I felt some satisfaction…

But...

It was...underwhelming… I realised that...yeah… I am going to upgrade it to what I want because a simple tune-up wasn't going to cut it…

Even if I were to update the engine to a 3-litre one it still won't cut it…

If I am going to leave it like that, it would be like an itch on one's palm...every single day…

I leaned into the seat and closed my eyes for a bit. Thinking about how I was going to make this little stock car into something much more respectable…

The engine is quite easy… I already thought about it when I was disassembling, the idea of how to change it was already there… however… a pure engine for just a casual drive is not enough…a Diamond Core Heart variant? The Triangle version I use for Scale Mails? This way it will have processing power...

The frame of the car will be Sacred Gear metal. As well as the shell. This way it won't be breakable. With a Triangle core in place, I can add the transformer protocol and even other transformations. 

The tires can be reworked as well, into something more durable…

"Aurora. I need you to scan the fixed car and add every single technological advancement I've ever made, to date." I said immediately after opening my eyes.

[Every single?]

"Yes, all of them," I said with a nod. As I left the car and closed the doors. The scanning lights once again started scanning the whole car vertically and horizontally.

As the scan was happening, I pulled out my backpack and walked over to a manual scanner. Once there, I pulled out my notebook and made the scanner scan the drawing I had for the tuned-up version of my car.

"Add this tune-up version of the car on top as the finished version." 

[Understood.]

Sure enough, I saw the drawings come to life as a proper BMW from Need for Speed Most Wanted. Honestly, I haven't played this world's version of it…

Pretty sure I have not played any game in years…

I wonder if people have noticed that I know stuff without even watching or playing it? Well, pretty sure people have questions but no one has gathered enough courage to ask…

[Rendering is complete. I have kept the majority of things, excluding the dash panel, the way they are in the aesthetic sense. While things 'under the hood' are up to the standards of your inventions.] 

Aurora said to me as the 3D image of the tuned up BMW appeared in front of me. It was barely a metre wide image but this way I can see it properly from all angles.

With a hand motion, I made it spin, then I made it open up the doors and the hood. Now, what was inside truly made it stand out. The engine had neon LED blue lights highlighting the parts. I could see where the Triangle core was. As expected, Aurora has chosen the Triangle one over the regular one. Since the Triangle on is the moveable one…

The majority of the engine is gone and replaced by a single solitary piece, this even makes the engine removal quite easily done if needed.

Simply put, I could remove this and put it into another car, quite easily. In other words, it could be mass-produced. Very nice, indeed.

"Show me the modes you added into it," I asked after stopping the spinning model.

Surely enough, next to this model was the Transformers version of the car, then a plane version with a pair of energy wings. Followed by a much more widened version which is the speed version. Then another one, which is an underwater version with much smaller wings and a propeller…

The propeller, however, needs work, as I have some ideas which I will be implementing in the battleships…

'Since I got the image, why don't we start on this…' 

~~~

"Is this how he always does things?" Artemis asked Serafall. The Moon Goddess watched him the whole time since she arrived here.

She saw him fix a completely broken car. While she has no idea how long it takes for a regular human to do that. It's not a single afternoon, that's for sure…

Then, of course, she saw his plans to turn this vehicle into something… more… from the images she saw, this thing most likely will be able to go anywhere…

"More or less… I was here before most of the stuff here was built. I was the one who... installed the plumbing…"

Artemis raised her eyebrow, plumbing? Is she for real?

"It is something else to see, things coming together. I saw him draw those guns, the scale mail, and other things like the computer, Quinella's birth…"

The Moon Goddess slowly nodded. She could partially understand what the Satan meant. As a Goddess of Olympus, she was around the God of Blacksmith and she saw him work countless times.

But those things became blurry with Marcus around. He blurs what the work of a God is and what the work of a human is. While she has no doubt Hephaestus could fix the machine in a quick time. Marcus did that in a single afternoon, the parts he had created were the creation of Alchemy, the likes she had never seen before.

Honestly, she wants to figure out where the rest of the parts came from? What is underneath them? Some sort of factory?

"You've been watching him for years like this then?" Hippolyta asked Serafall. The Queen of Amazons is quite baffled, while she sees this as interesting, she would get bored after some time. But this Devil just continued to watch him work his things for...years…

"I did, honestly, it's more interesting than any other things. Besides, he likes it when we discuss his creations. The best way to get to him is through that." Serafall explained with a shrug. 

The current Leviathan doesn't mind sharing that, because she knows these three newcomers will have a hard time talking about his inventions with him.

"I see… I will keep that in mind." Artemis said with a nod. The silver-haired Goddess didn't expect that Satan Leviathan herself would give her some tips. However, this tip is quite difficult to follow.

'Or not, there are some ways to use it.' The Goddess had a thoughtful look, so did Hippolyta, the Queen of Amazons already has some idea on how to use this to her advantage. They can always discuss… weaponry and she can always test it out for him.

While Atalanta, on the other hand, has something neither of those two have, and that is being his exclusive… pet. Marcus maybe doesn't realise it, but he likes just talking to her and she would just listen… like a cat who is listening to her Master.

While it's humiliating… At first that is… she realised that there's no point in trying to fight something she has no means to escape… not that she wanted to, by this point… she just decided to do her part and get what she wants. She already had one of the greatest amounts of fun since the Calydonian hunt. Hunting dinosaurs? Now that was fun. Weirdly enough, she can't remember what happened next, only that she woke up in her bed after.

And all she knows about this is that there was an accident with Quinella and she just knocked out everyone… including Goddess Artemis…

This is a reminder to her that people in this place are monsters in disguise, or they have some extraordinary background.

The Huntress decided to use her given abilities to live nicely in this place. Now that she is not part of the hunt. Since only pure girls can be inside one. She now properly belongs to her new Master.

"Anyway ladies! I will leave you three, for now, I have a meeting to prepare for. Master's actions are still sending ripples through the supernatural world." Serafall said with a sigh as she got up from her couch. She enjoyed the lovey-dovey day she had with Marcus, but now she needs to return to the mess his actions have caused. She truly needs to retire from this work and just be a full-time girlfriend for him…

"Hoh? People trying to contact you so that they could establish contact with him?" Artemis asked with a knowing look. This sounds about right; she has heard that Marcus' only outside source is Serafall. Well, when she was in Olympus, she only heard about Serafall having a human inventor as a contract. Not that she would have contacted her for obvious reasons that her pride was at stake.

"Pretty much. People like Azazel and Michael are moving. This might lead to peace talks, finally. And as someone responsible for Diplomacy, I am at the very spearhead of all of this."

Artemis' eyes widened for a second. Peace? Between those three factions? Well...this is big…

If they are going to unite then it's going to be a big deal or should be… however her interest in all that diminished considerably. Now that she is living the life of a… maid.

It's no longer her responsibility to care about politics. Sure, she wants her pantheon to survive, it's her family… no matter how eccentric they are.

That can be easily taken care of with her serving her new Master. She already understood how Serafall has her gear and how her little sister got hers. Timing is important, and listening as well. All Serafall did was offer a good solution at a perfect time.

As the new maids were thinking, they saw Serafall walk over to Marcus and they talked for a bit. Before the teen inventor kissed her… well it was hard snog… the current Leviathan quickly finished because she knew it would get out of hand so she quickly rushed out to the teleportation point…

Artemis had a thoughtful look before looking at the screen on the TV. She could see that Athena was on the move and had already arrived at a bigger Town. Most likely looking for more clues…

Her eyes narrowed for a bit. She knows her family well, and they are not the best when it comes to diplomacy. So, it's up to her to 'smooth' the talks.

~~~

Marcus has been having a blast working like this again. He took the car completely apart. Remoulded the frame and turned it into a special alloy mixed with Sacred Gear metal. Following that, he started working on the engine which is going to be more like a heart and not a car engine anymore.

The way he saw the car reminded him of that nice ride from the Back to the Future, the 1981 Delorean DMC-12… now that was a ride… for 1980 that is… it served nicely on how to make it possible to fly design-wise and, yeah, time travel.

With his current tech level, Marcus could time travel at least to the theoretical level. As he already can cut distance with space, adding limitless energy and speed factor and… it would be possible to use the car to travel time…

However, the key factor is missing, and that is time magic itself. Meaning that Marcus needs to find someone who has some grasp on time magic.

'I guess I know my next summon. Thankfully, this one is going to be very fitting. According to Serafall, she likes mecha. So we are going to get along swimmingly.' As Marcus thought about that, he finished his shower and left the bathroom.

It has been some time since he used his home instead of The Base. After installing Realitus technomancy in his home, he no longer needed to be there as there was a hard light hologram doing a bunch of things for him.

However, today is different because he was working in his garage instead of The Base, so he decided to sleep in his room instead of his spacious, holograms and realitus powered bedroom.

Still, though…

The moment he entered his room he saw that his bed was occupied by a certain maid goddess. 

"Artemis? You didn't go back?" Marcus asked her as he walked into his room and closed the doors behind him. He walked over to his wardrobe.

The silver-haired beauty's eyes followed him like a hawk taking in every piece of his naked upper half. As someone who had just awoken to the pleasures of flesh, her interest in her man went up through the roof.

"As someone who has double digits of women serving you, I find it odd that you are not keeping one with you all the time," Artemis said as she elegantly got up from his bed and walked towards him in just a few steps.

"Now...there is no need for you to dress up in any way." The beauty said with quite a hot tone, she took his hand and led him onto the bed and made him sit. Losing his towel in the process as her pull was quite powerful.

~~~(R-18 ahead, skip to '~~~'  if you wish to skip, there won't be more for a while, so enjoy)~~~

She, quite awkwardly, got on his lap, facing him.

There was quite a big blush on her face. Quite a contrast with her silver hair and pale skin.

Marcus only raised his eyebrow at her, this was odd, he didn't expect Artemis to try to seduce him like this. Honestly, he had his way with the Moon Goddess and Atalanta because they were trying to seduce him back then. Now, it would look like the Goddess of Hunt is trying even harder…

He only needed to think for a bit before he realised that the reason for this is the Goddess of Wisdom having a journey in his small country.

Smiling for a bit, his hands went onto her incredible ass and gave a firm squeeze. 

"So, tell me beautiful, why did you decide to stick with me for the night?" He asked her as he pulled her closer to himself. Artemis already could feel something quite hot brushing past her left thigh.

She was extremely out of her element and this time she is without Atalanta!

"...A-As I said! I thought you should have at least one of the maids with you!" Silver head said that with a red face, she was turning into a tsundere the longer she was in this situation.

"I see… then I guess you know that I need very little when we are like this alone," Marcus said as his hands went under her short skirt and started travelling towards her sweet spot. 

Soon enough, he did feel some dampness there. Artemis was already quite wet…

"I k-know~~~" She whined hotly into his ear. As she felt his fingers around her special place. The Goddess can't believe how easily she is getting carried away by this!

"I-I-I k-know that you have extra attention on me~~~" She said that with a hot breath, there was some smugness in her tone. Oh, yes she knows that Marcus takes extra time on her. This is quite obvious as she is a Goddess and all that. But at the same time, there is that guilty pleasure, she should be annoyed that a male does all those things to her, but at the same time she wants them just as much…

Simply put...her pride and lust are fighting, and her pride is rapidly losing the more she experiences the pleasures of receiving affection and attention from Marcus.

"I do… I was almost beating myself up for letting you go back then…" As he said that Artemis felt her panties were getting pushed aside and something very hot and hard was brushing past her wet cave.

The Goddess's beautiful blue-eyes slightly widened. She realised that she was about to be taken...and she was still wearing her clothes and there was no foreplay! For a second she panicked! But stopped as she felt an intrusion in her special place!

A hot moan escaped from her lips, her body twitched for a bit. Marcus continued to push her down on his rod and the beauty continued to gasp and mewed before his cock was fully inside of her.

She released a hot breath. By this point, her eyes had turned glassy. The silver-haired beauty was already completely turned on and wanted to start this session already!

Forgetting the whole point of why she was trying to seduce him. Now all she wants is to get more of this incredible feeling!

Before long, the teen inventor started moving the beauty on his rod.

"Mmmhhnnn~~~"

"Hnnnn~~~"

"Ahhhhh~~~"

Quite a powerful smacking noise started to spread through the room. Artemis was already giving her all by this point. Thankfully, Marcus reinforced the whole house when he was installing the Realitus technomancy. Otherwise, the beautiful Goddess would have already destroyed the floor underneath them…

Soon enough, the beauty came hard around his rod. She felt a very satisfying release. Feeling much...better… she realised that she needed this kind of thing.

"Your voice is quite beautiful." 

Hearing her Master's whisper into her ear like that made her feel goosebumps going through her whole body. 

"Hmmm~~~ so...good…" She moaned while moving her hips forward and back. Her hands stroked his body for a bit. Soon enough she realised that she was still dressed…

Instead of trying to remove her clothes as mortals do, she just used her divine power and disintegrated them with a simple burst of her energy.

Soon enough, her pristine body was visible to Marcus who drank it all in.

He moved her body on the bed and started pumping into her with hard strokes, sending ripples through her body. His actions caused her mouth to open wide in a vulgar way. The beauty just experienced her climax and now she is getting bombarded with this!

Marcus only smiled seeing that, he already found that special place in her cave last time so he can fuck her without wasting time looking for that place.

"Nooo~~~ I am slipping~~~" Artemis started shaking her head from an overdose of pleasure, her tone already turned into a sexy, pouty one. Sounding like a lover who was getting bullied in bed…

Then with one strong thrust, the teen released his load into her depths. Making the beautiful goddess come hard again. This time it was even more so as she felt the warmth spreading through her whole body…

After receiving this load, she mewed hotly, a very sexy pouty look appeared on her face. Marcus just leaned forward and kissed her. The silver-haired beauty just smiled internally learning something new. Her hands wrapped around him as she pulled him in more.

~~~

Artemis slowly opened her eyes. She realised that she was sleeping with Marcus in his bed in the regular house of his.

A lot of embarrassment washed over her. For the simple reason that her seduction plan was an utter failure. She ended up being seduced herself in the end. 

She simply forgot about the rest, and drowned in the pleasure of being railed hard for most of the night.

Halfway through… the beauty doesn't even remember her initial thoughts. Realising that she has failed, and most likely she won't get another chance for this, because both Hippolyta and Atalanta will realise that Goddess has tricked them and will be suspicious if she tries to pull something like this again…

For now, she decided to think and move as little as possible… Honestly, sleeping on him like this is amazing, it's like she was sleeping on a heat source of some sort. Anything closest to this is using her wolves' fur as a pillow.

~~~

Quite a bit of time passed as Marcus' alarm clock rang.

Meaning that it was time for them to wake up…

The teen opened his eyes slowly and the phone simply stopped ringing. All the Goddess felt was some sort of energy being used. It is most likely Psionic energy which she still needs to figure out if it's related to that incident of her getting knocked out. Honestly, Artemis is sort of embarrassed that she was knocked out like that…

"Morning… It's quite something else waking up with you like that." He said that while stroking her back.

"... You only need to ask and I will be in your bed. Isn't that the purpose of a maid?" The silver head said with a simple tone. There was no need to play around the bush when the truth is there. Maids are someone who serves their master with everything they got. At least that is what she remembers about them.

"True enough, I suppose. Still though, I already know why you are taking that extra effort. If you are worried about Athena then you should not be. Because, unlike you, she is not here to 'put me under her foot'." As Marcus said that, he enjoyed the look Artemis was giving him.

Her cheeks turned red from embarrassment, even her reason for seduction was easily seen through!

"I see… well, I suppose, I should thank you then." After she got her embarrassment over, she spoke these words very quietly. It is getting easier to speak like this. Most likely because she is getting to know him better… quite intimately…

~~~~~~Kuoh~~~~~~

Sona has no idea how to feel about the current developments in the town under Rias and her control. Not every day does the leader of Fallen Angels just pop in and asks permission to rent a flat.

Honesty, the Sitri Heiress freaked out so much that she nearly passed out!

Thankfully, moments later, her older sister appeared and fixed up this mess.

Well, fixing it up is a strong word because now they have the Leader of Fallen Angels living in their town and Sona feels like walking on thin ice…

This situation got even weirder when the man started summoning her peerage for devil contracts…

According to her peerage, he summons them to talk about Marcus Goldman and play Mario Kart…

And now... it was her turn…

At times like these, she is annoyed to be born as a devil and do these chores.

"You are something else. Summoning devils like that even when we are still in a cold war." Sona said while fixing her glasses. Honestly, she would be scared to face someone of Ultimate Class like Azazel. Thankfully she is prepared. She only needed to send one message to Marcus and now she can use the Diamond formation around herself to protect herself in case it gets...hairy…

"Come now. I have already told your sister that I come in peace!" He even showed a peace sign with his fingers. The man was eccentric, especially in Sona's eyes. The man ignored the cold war and came to Devil territory. And the reason for that is quite obvious. At the moment, the Sitri Heiress and her peerage are the only beings outside Marcus to have the new types of gears.

Only recently did the world outside learn about it. It's quite impressive how under wraps it lasted.

However, the moment it became public knowledge, other beings started to come to her to find out more. Azazel here is at the forefront of all of it.

"Yes. I can see that. Since you have summoned me, you want something?" Sona asked with a sigh. She has no idea how she should address him. Professionally? Casually? Something in between?

"Indeed! I need a gaming partner! I have already prepared the consoles! Several different tastes of fizzy drinks! And chips! A perfect preparation for a night of gaming!" Azazel proudly showed a table full of junk food and drinks…

Sona grimaced internally for a bit. She knows quite well that devil physiology doesn't care much for the food they eat. But as someone who has been following several sets of specific diets to get everything she could out of exercising she stopped eating any sort of high calorie stuff…

However, since she had been summoned to be a 'gaming partner'...

"I see… well then let's get this over with…" Sona sighed and walked over to take her seat.

Azazel just smirked and walked over to his seat, he then handed over one of the controllers to her.

~~~

"So, you know him in person, right?" The General-Governor asked the Heiress.

The question was so out of the blue that Sona's kart lost control for a second as the black-haired devil forgot how to control it for a bit. Azazel used that moment and overtook her like that.

The Sitri Heiress narrowed her eyes for a bit. This was a low blow!

She quickly got back in the race after a few moments.

"You need to be more specific with your questions," Sona said sharply as she was pretending she doesn't know what he is talking about.

"Please. Serafall used the same excuse just a couple of nights back! It's not like I am going to take over the contract from you. Truthfully to be told, your contract should have ended when he revealed himself like he did!"

Sona had a confused look for a moment. He revealed himself in public? She quickly snapped from that and paused the game. On purpose…

"While I have no idea about him revealing himself, my contract was extended and upgraded." The Heiress clarified to him.

"This means that I still have many things which I can't tell you just because you are asking." She said sharply.

"Heh. I know. I have already figured out some things just from casual conversations. " He said that with a smug tone.

"Just to let you know. Marcus Goldman reveal has made us- The Three Factions, move towards peace as we speak at the moment." 

His words made Sona almost drop her glasses off. This was monumental!

"The teen's invasion of Romania made us... quite … how should I put this? Jumpy? Yes, that's the word! So, we are rushing to make this peace happen." Azazel explained quite simply to her.

"Invasion of Romania? This is the first time I am hearing this! He invaded the Vampires? Since there was nothing on regular news about an invasion…" The Sitri Heiress asked with a baffled tone. Why did no one say anything to her!?

"So you don't know? Well, I suppose your devil council didn't want everyone to know how Marcus Goldman simply erased Tepes faction from the face of the earth. He brought a massive airship, transformers, and Mandalorians. The whole thing only lasted for a few hours before he left… and from what my spies from other factions told me… he now is the ruler of the vampires."

The more Azazel explained, the more baffled the Heiress became. A human is ruling the Vampires now? Isn't it like most of Balkan countries? And she was ignorant to all of this? Why didn't Serafall say anything to her!?

"I see… this is monumental. And now you want me to tell you things about him? You do know that I only met him in person twice?" Sona said with a serious tone.

Azazel only smiled at her. While she tried to hide her obvious infatuation with Marcus Goldman the General-Governor saw right through it.
