I couldn't help but marvel at the sight. It was akin to a bubble holding an entire universe. Of course, one couldn't pop it if they weren't me, but still, it was wonderful to look at. I experienced the same kind of awe one would get when looking down at a mountain range from another peak.
Although with time I could create a sight identical or even more grandiose than it, it was still something one couldn't help but praise and worship. At least for me a natural universe had a certain attraction to it that I wasn't sure could be beat by something that I would create…
Of course, that was just something I thought since I hadn't made one yet. At least, not one that had fully matured and bore life on it. Maybe I would like my universe more like a painter would be proud of it painting.
There was sadly one thing disturbing that sight. A chain pointing directly at it or rather through it, but without going around or through it, I couldn't confirm it, but I had the feeling that this wouldn't be my destination. However, one thing was for sure, I would enter and traverse it in search of the thing that bound me. Sightseeing in that universe didn't sound like a bad idea to kill some time.
My sight snapped back to reality. I glanced around the room, finding the battlefield I had been victorious on. There were bodies over bodies. Albedo and Fubuki were hugging my side as I lay on the bed. Shalltear was currently my footrest, groaning happily despite being unconscious.
Tatsumaki had passed out with my cock in her mouth, which had to be mad uncomfortable for her as it almost definitely dislocated her jaw. Her body was faintly glowing green and her head was methodically bopping up and down. She was giving me head while unconscious, shit was wild. It was something that only she, Fubuki, and Albedo could do. The former two through their telekinetic powers and Albedo through sheer fucking will.
Narberal, Yuri, and Lupusregina had passed out on top of one another as a tower of ass, while Renner, Enri, Evileye, and Lakyus were scattered across the room. One leaning with her face smushed against the mirror while another was just powerlessly lying on their stomach on the floor. All of them were leaking my cum out of their orifices or were doused with it.
The room didn't smell or at least to my nose it was neutral. Though according to them, it smelt like a delicacy or like home or love or whatever positive attribute they could think of. It was highly dependent on the person as my scent and bodily fluids had a different effect on each of them, though every one of them said it was something they craved for that moment.
I didn't want to disturb their unconsciousness, so I teleported onto the balcony a few meters away, letting the women rest for another hour or so, while I went stargazing. My eyes pierced through the veil of this universe and observed another. Just seeing its structure was giving me more inspiration on how to form mine, and how to develop an infinite structure of creation.
I could feel a leaf budding on a branch, fueled by the energy of my perpetual energy and formed by my increasing knowledge and creativity. If I understood this universe more clearly, I could enhance mine and grow more powerful. The more knowledge I gained the faster I would grow.
Although infinity in the forms of potentially innumerable multiverses was already at my fingertips, I would have to develop each of them and what better way to see the infinite possibilities that already existed? Perhaps one day I would incorporate everything there was into my domain. Instead of the forceful stripping away of energy like I did with Yggdrasil's worlds, I could usurp other universes and make them into one of my leaves.
I would nourish them and they would nourish my tree in return. A beneficial relationship not unlike the nations of this world. They got my protection and they would give me some tax. Maybe this universe would willingly subordinate itself to my rule if it meant avoiding that. My gaze shifted to the edges of the universe, something sinister gnawing at it.
A void creature with the only intention of stealing origin energy. It was purely instinctual and I couldn't really blame it after experiencing it myself. The rush of power and the high it would give one was hardly imaginable by a mortal's mind.
A single universe could alleviate oneself to an entirely next level, opening a new perspective that one didn't even know one lacked. It was completely life-changing. What if one got lucky and was able to usurp an infinite multiverse? The power gained from that was unimaginable even to me.
Of course, those structures didn't come to be without guidance or at least they wouldn't stay without a master for long. Just thinking about multiverses like Marvel or DC and those that governed over them like the one above all or the presence sent shivers down my spine. Although I was multiversal, I was in the lower tier of it.
Despite having devoured Yggdrasil and the few different timelines of this world, I wasn't unbeatable yet. Faced off against those ancient beings wouldn't even leave me with a way to escape.
Perhaps, I could win on my own turf, but if they decided to burn their multiverse for an extra boost there wasn't much I could do even with the perceived omnipotence I had inside my realm. Fortunately, I didn't have the intention of pissing them off or even confronting them in any way.
If I did visit theirs, I would just do it with a projection like I knew those other entities attacking them did. It would keep me safe and I could learn from the inner structure of it. Also, it gave me some means to hide by blending in or by going native in those universes. Either way, that was talk for future me, now was the time to ponder on what to do with this one. If I entered the universe then I would have to go alone at first, it might be too risky without knowing what I could expect-
"Hey, what are you doing out here?" Albedo asked as she hugged me from behind.
"Have you guys rested enough already?" I questioned as Fubuki embraced me as well. I turned my head and found Tatsumaki yawning and rubbing her jaw as the balcony door closed behind her. "I was pretty sure, you three were out of it."
"Well, I felt uneasy somehow," Albedo said as she tightened her hold on me. Was that her womanly instincts kicking in?
"Yep, same." Fubuki mimicked her and tightened her embrace as well.
Tatsumaki nodded as well, "As your secret weapon, I felt like you were about to do something stupid, so I figured I should be here as well." My mouth twitched at that. Wasn't she getting too bratty lately? After getting comfortable with me, she was getting bolder and stubborn as well.
"There is a nearby universe I might need to visit," I admitted as I saw no point in beating around the bush also if I didn't get momentum quickly, I just knew that they would make it difficult for me to leave. Sex was a good motivator to keep me from moving, especially since I was basically the incarnation of lust.
"Alright, when are we leaving?" Albedo asked as she looked up at me. Her eyes gleamed with a threat since she now realized what she was subconsciously fearing.
"I will need to scout the situation-" I tried explaining but was quickly interrupted.
"Absolutely not. I will not let you leave without any protection."
"I don't need a condom." Her deadpan stare told me that my joke didn't land and she wouldn't be budging one bit. The other two seemed to have picked up on the topic of the talk and looked ready to jump me with Albedo.
"I'm serious, Az." Albedo's eyes were clear and piercing. "I won't let you go out alone. Who knows if another Yggdrasil is lurking out there ready to ambush you?"
"…To be honest, I don't think taking any of you would influence the outcome of such a situation." My words were probably a bit harsh, but that was the truth. A level 100 being might be a god-like entity to normal people, but compared to what I had become it wasn't even worth mentioning.
However, it seemed like I misinterpreted her intentions as she snorted, "That's why you need to perform at your best. I want someone to be at your side the entire time to relieve you of your stress. Also, all your everyday needs will have to be fulfilled and satisfied to the best of our abilities-"
"Dang, babe. You think I can't handle not having sex for a few weeks?"
"A few weeks?! I thought you were talking about a day. No, then I can't leave you without at least two that can suck your cock on demand, and let's keep your phone on the entire time, so you could fuck my pussy in an emergency…"
"… You didn't trust me going without an orgasm for a day? What kind of-"
"W-without orgasm?! T-that's… It's even worse than I thought! Even if you don't have anyone, you should at least masturbate!" She admonished as if I revealed some great horror to her. I really wanted to retort her, but the fact that I was fondling her tits and spreading her pussy lips with my hard cock during our conversation didn't leave me much to stand on.
"You know that if you come along, I will have to enter the universe physically which would increase the danger exponentially," I warned but her eyes didn't waver.
"As long as your mind remains clear there is nothing you can't overcome!" She spoke with such conviction that it even convinced me that this was indeed the truth. So, she was convinced I could solve anything but going without sex a day?
"Well, even if you sucked me off 24/7, I wouldn't be able to clear my head. I would just be distracted by how beautiful you are." I said as I ignored the excited squeal from the two spectators.
Albedo blushed though at the same time, she looked downhearted for a moment. "T-then I won't come with you-"
"Too late, now you will have to work extra hard to clear my mind," I said as I pushed my dick into her, making her blush even harder. "You two won't mind if she is the first one to accompany me to another universe, right? There will be plenty of future opportunities where you can join, I promise." I spoke to the two, while Albedo started pumping her hips against mine, clearly not able to keep still.
I could take them with me, but every other follower would just increase the difficulty of infiltrating a universe. I was lucky that my physical body wasn't big enough to make a ripple at the edge, but it was better to keep the risk at a minimum.
"You know, I think this was more about you coming along than me." I whispered, causing her to shake her head in denial, "No? You aren't worried that I would leave like the other Supreme Beings?"
My retort caused her to look at me with an expression that was hard to decipher, though given who I was I could tell that it held a certain conviction for me while the rest was some resentment or anger toward the other Supreme Beings, "W-would you abandon us?" She forced out as my dick pushed out the air in her lungs.
"Never," I answered truthfully.
"I know."
Her eyes were piercing, full of love and conviction, telling me that there was nothing that could prove her otherwise. Even if I told her I would abandon her, she would chase after me, knowing that I would have to be forced to do so.
"So, romantic!"
"That I agree, little sister. I wish I had come up with that question and he told me that. Albedo is always a step ahead."
"Hmph. It's because you just jump into action. A few days ago, I had asked him whether he liked my dress and he said 'It perfectly accentuates that bombshell of a figure of yours! I could fuck you in it for the rest of time and not get tired of it.' I nearly passed out when he said that!"
The two sisters kind of ruined that vibe I went for, but Albedo was already in la la land with the way she slammed her crotch on mine.
…
I stepped onto the pathway of the tunnel connecting my domain to that universe. It wasn't the forceful kind like that used between Yggdrasil and me, but something non-invasive that would give Albedo and me a safe passage and could even grant us some opportunities to blend in right from the start.
I glanced at Albedo to my side and frowned slightly, "The phone Albedo." She pouted, obviously wanting to protest but gave in as I stared her down. She handed it over to Fubuki. I kind of felt bad for her as she usually got the short end of the stick, solidifying her only as the second-highest rank of my women.
I didn't spend as much time with her as I wanted to and I couldn't deny that Albedo's insistence and overzealousness gave her the edge. Perhaps, the little tidbit that Hermorah had added to make me endlessly fall in love with Albedo in my backstory had some influence on me.
I glanced over the women waving their handkerchiefs at us as if we would be gone for good even after I told them, we would only be away for a week max. In fact, that only caused them to cry even harder, but Albedo was able to calm them down with her stash of cum. My life was crazy and the women were even crazier…
The few men in the group, namely Demiurge, Sebas, Cycotus, and Ainz looked like they saw me off to battle with how solemn they looked.
"See you soon, Ainz." I addressed the undead.
"I will take care of things here," Ainz responded firmly, which made him appear rather dependable. Well, it wasn't like he couldn't be depended on, but I felt like that was a good look on him, especially since he wasn't as nervously tense as he used to be when he had to step up.
I gave him a confident nod before turning around. Without waiting any longer, we traveled to the edge of this unknown universe in what must have felt like a blink for Albedo. Since I perceived time a bit differently, quite some time passed in my mind. It probably didn't help that there was technically no time in this void.
The edge of the universe shimmered slightly, waving like it was made of water before it let us in without much of a stir. There were layers to this universe, I instantly realized as I felt the number of dimensions, the intricacy of the way magic formed in this world, and how creation structured limitations and ways to grow and learn.
I could peel away the layers and dive into the deepest secrets of the universe, but it was too early for it now. It would stir up this universe's hidden subconscious into instinctively retaliating. It wasn't as aware as Yggdrasil, but it wasn't incompetent.
…
She handed it over before saying goodbye to the customer, who looked at her dismissively as if he was offended by her previous question. With a sigh, she slumped over the desk, wondering if she would finally find the one. Her gaze wandered over the people. Seeing them happy and engrossed in their conversation made her feel isolated despite being surrounded by people.
Until now she had been unable to accomplish what she had set out to do. She just wanted to return to her church and cry herself to sleep. "Hey, can I have two Jagamarukun?" A voice that seemed to ease her worries cut through the silence.
A god, she assumed as she straightened her back, ready to welcome the guest no matter who it was before freezing at the sight of him. Her brain stuttered for a moment as it tried to generate a thought, "You good?" He asked with concern, causing her to salute before awkwardly lowering her hand again.
"Y-yep, never been better!" She nervously said before making her best effort to calm down again as she took several peeks at the guy. He was tall and incredibly handsome, to the point he had every god she ever met beat by a long shot. His build could hardly be hidden by his formfitting black shirt and loose white pants. It seemed to compact a world of strength and agility that classified him as a cut above the rest by a single glance.
His golden eyes and hair were striking, making him stand out in a crowd. There was also his bearing that conveyed an extraordinary background. A normal person would assume, he was the prince of a country or some legendary adventurer that had left Orario years ago. However, as a goddess, she could tell that he had the bearing of absolute power, some god that had just left heaven and expected to find everything to go his way.
She too had this experience only to be stumped when trying to eat something. The need for a currency was something she had to get used to and after being humbled, it was difficult to keep that same bearing.
Of course, despite her first impression of him all her senses failed to pick up a lick of divinity. Not to mention, she hadn't heard of a god with such an appearance. It would have made the round and even she would have picked up some rumors of such a good-looking god.
"Here you go." Hesita handed over the Jagamarukun, gaining a soft smile in return and some coin in return. They looked oddly perfect as if they had been freshly pressed.
"Thank you." He answered, pulling her out of her thoughts before looking at her for another moment as if he wanted to say something or he was waiting for something. Ah, right!
She bowed slightly, "Thank you for your patronage." After getting up again, he still stood, not having left, but instead scratched his head.
"You are the goddess of hearth and home, right?" She nodded positively, wondering why he asked this. "Can I join your familia?"
Her mouth opened to respond, but the question didn't quite compute in her mind. It took her several moments before she let out a baffled shout.
"Ehh?? W-what? Why?" Her outburst attracted the attention of the people on the road, but she didn't care at this point and just continued to stare at the man.
"I heard that you are searching for your first member, so I decided to ask." Truth. What he said was the truth. Her mouth opened again, wanting to protest that the other one could just walk to any other goddess and would be immediately picked.
It wasn't just his good looks, but his physique conveyed a strength that would give some great boons the moment he was blessed. He was certainly a cut above the rest.
Fortunately, her brain caught up and swiftly shut her mouth. She had been asking around for quite some time to have someone join her familia without success. It was much more difficult than initially thought. One couldn't just ask any random person whether they wanted to join, but needed to do it sensibly lest one offended another god by 'trying to poach off their promising adventurer'.
It was brutal and she just couldn't pick anyone despite being desperate. At least, her standards had only fallen to the point that she would pick up anyone who wanted to join her and hadn't anything malicious in mind.
"I will be quitting early today!" She called out to her boss, who immediately wanted to argue. She straightened her back and held her head high as she gave him a glance that shut him up.
"Alright, let's go!" She spoke while grabbing his wrist to drag him away before another god or goddess was able to take this gem away from her. With swift steps, she led them through the streets before faltering slightly before the last corner. "Y-you do know of my situation, right?"
She asked just to be sure that he knew what he was getting into. Although she desperately wanted this to be her first child, she wouldn't scam him into it.
"Of course, I know my goddess." He spoke with a gentle tone as he reassured her. Her heart skipped a beat and she could physically feel her face heat up.
"A-alright, don't say I didn't warn ya'!" She took a breath before continuing on toward her church. Her ears perked up, waiting to hear some negative reaction, but when nothing came she glanced at him. His eyes were clear, observing the church without judgment.
When they entered, they passed the broken pews, stopping just in front of the door leading down to her living space.
"Are you sure you want to join my familia?" She asked again, "I won't be able to support you financially or guide you on what to do as I do not know what it takes to manage a familia." She admitted, wanting to make it clear from the get-go in case he had some false expectations.
"I will be fine. Honestly, the church looks better than I thought. Seems like you put in some effort to clean it up. " He commented as he looked around. She had to bite on her lip, preventing tears from well up in her eyes as she nodded quietly. "Looks like you had some difficult time. Don't worry, you can rely on me from now on."
"Mhm." She didn't trust her voice as the feeling welling up from her chest just made her want to cry out her heart out to this stranger. They walked down and she guided him to the bed, having used the extremely short trip to calm herself enough to give some instructions.
He swiftly lay on her bed without his shirt. For just a moment, she feasted on the sight of his muscular back before jumping onto it. Honestly, she had expected him to have a falna already, but seeing the blank back, it seemed like she was his first. She blushed at the scandalous thought before getting down to business.
With quick motions, she drew some blood and started to draw her symbol on his back. The moment her power seeped into him, trying to enhance his soul, she felt momentarily lost. It was like she jumped into an ocean, trying to find something without knowing where it was.
She had some experience with handling souls, so this was a completely new experience, so without any other options she pushed herself and it felt like something had noticed her attempts, letting her inside.
The soul she touched was magnificent beyond compare, but she didn't have the luxury to gaze at it. She needed to finish it, so with the knowledge given to every god or goddess descending, she gave him a falna.
After finishing it, she transcribed the results to another paper. The numbers checked out and even though she should have been surprised, she kind of expected it, he had a skill.
Lustful Desire
Builds up lust quickly and rises to a maximum daily, making it harder for the user to focus. Sexual activities continuously increase the user's abilities and focus, which also releases pent-up energy.
