POV Thanatos.
While under the protective dome, Nemesis flew leisurely toward the isolated area of Montauk.
Closer by the coast, in the wooded area of the park, we saw the 12 Radar Towers, which were a great beacon for humans and sentient monsters alike.
— Nemesis, there will be many military men there. Do we have to reveal the force in front of them? — I inquired, holding on to Nemesis's back.
— It doesn't matter. We will act according to the situation. The lives of Agatha and Evelina are important to you, aren't they?
— Evelina is very important to me, and Agatha... she's her older sister. I think it's worth supporting her, if it's not too dangerous.
Nemesis flew over the forested areas, and I inadvertently noticed a spatial distortion near which there was a large concentration of zombies.
This is fucked up... the military base is right next to the spatial teleport! Sooner or later it will have to be destroyed or everyone will die.
After flying a few kilometers, we reached the high fence of the military base. There were five dozen riflemen and machine gunners in the towers, shooting off hordes of undead.
The zombies were concentrated in large numbers in one small area to do impressive damage to the walls, but the sharp anti-tank hedgehogs at the base of the wall were not a bad barrier to zombies.
I pulled myself together and commanded my sister, — We need to demonstrate our power! Throw me down, Nemesis. I'll help them in this area.
— Just don't screw it up, bro, or you won't get any sex! — Nemesis nagged at me in a nurturing voice.
— Huh, I thought you wanted me to fuck you until your pulse stopped and you passed out, — I replied sarcastically.
Nemesis snorted and threw me from a hundred meters high. I had to put my arms underneath me to land smoothly, and let the Chaos energy out in time.
As I landed, I shouted into the crowd of monsters, — Dead pieces of meat, I'm here! Try to bite the tasty boy.
The soldiers noticed my shout towards the undead, — Civilian at nine o'clock!
— Graa-rh, meat! — The zombies easily fell for the bait in the form of me and headed towards me.
— Hey, boy! Run away from here, they'll kill you! — shouted one of the machine gunners who ordered the others to shoot at the fleeing zombies.
Drawing my sword, I infused it with Chaos energy and went into battle. I encountered First and Second Star zombies before, so it took me less than ten minutes to take down an army of five hundred zombies.
The squad of soldiers quickly stopped shooting at the zombies when they realized I was slicing through the undead like sauerkraut.
Zombie wolves became a surprise to me as they emerged from the forest and lunged at me.
Despite being undead, they were still hunters, waiting for the right moment to attack.
— Phew, wolves are very problematic opponents, — I muttered wearily, wiping the sweat from my forehead.
Despite their low levels of cores, the zombie wolves were too much of an inconvenience.
— Nemesis, where are you? — I shouted to the whole neighborhood. She did not respond to my voice.
Had she fly to Agatha and Evelina? That makes sense.
— Boy, are you a human being with superpowers? — A man in a military uniform with a husky voice asked.
Meanwhile, all the other soldiers aimed their machine guns and sniper rifles at me, positioned on top of the wall or in the watchtower.
— Yeah, and you believe that so easily?
— Hmmm, I had to believe it when the world is going completely fucked up. We've got a few of these people, — the man lowered his weapon and nodded to his comrades, addressing me, — Thanks for your help, but don't think we'll let you in.
— Well, I didn't come to see you. I came for Agatha and Evelina Palmer. And I will enter regardless of your decision. I don't think you can stop me, — I said with firm confidence.
I wasn't going to wet-nurse and coddle military men. I didn't have the privilege to wait for permission or approval.
The man decided to introduce himself, — I am the commander of the motorized rifle battalion and a senior officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel John Grant. Are you familiar with the Chief of Staff for Combat Developments?
Agatha is the chief of some staff? I didn't expect such a promotion in her military career. Although it's not surprising considering she devoted 10 years of her life to the war in Afghanistan. Is it even possible to achieve such a high rank at the age of 28?
I had many questions that I could ask Agatha later to find out more.
But I didn't know how to introduce myself to this John, so I said the first thing that came to mind, — I'm her beloved man, buddy. Call me whatever you want. Do you have any more questions for me, Lieutenant Colonel?
— I have no more questions. I'll escort you to her. You'll enter the base under my responsibility, — said John, and then gave a few orders to the squad and said something over the radio.
They opened a steel window at the bottom of the wall for me to climb inside.
After personally getting acquainted with John, we got into a military jeep and headed towards the headquarters of the military base. He asked me numerous questions, trying to catch me in a lie. Luckily, I knew enough superficial information about Agatha, and he had to give up on trying to catch me.
While we were traveling in the transport, he explained that the walking dead had surrounded their base from the very first day, so they couldn't leave the confines of the defensive walls. But just yesterday, three women from the headquarters and one soldier discovered new abilities within themselves that helped them fight against zombies.
— Sooner or later, we'll run out of supplies, ammunition, and people... — the Lieutenant Colonel sighed as we approached the headquarters.
We got out of the car and were greeted by armed individuals who didn't hinder our way.
As soon as we burst into the headquarters, I heard Agatha's joyful cry, — Ah, Thanatos! You're alive!
Without any subordination, the girl rushed into my embrace and kissed me on the lips.
Her movements and technique were clumsy, indicating either inexperience or strong fatigue.
I was stunned when she kissed me. The taste of her lips was slightly salty from sweat, but her flesh felt ethereal and soft.
— Ugh, Agatha. Will you explain why you kissed me? — I said, taken aback.
Lieutenant Colonel John stood nearby, frowning after my words.
Meanwhile, Agatha glanced around and awkwardly chuckled, — Hey, you said it yourself that you're my man! I heard everything over the radio, so I decided to take the opportunity.
Agatha reassured the Lieutenant Colonel that everything was fine and pulled me into a conference room.
Temporarily alone in the corridor, I pressed Agatha against the wall and raised her chin to demand an explanation in a commanding voice, — You still haven't answered my question, and it's starting to seem me like girls these days have a trend of avoiding direct answers! Don't make me angry, Agatha. Answer me, why did you kiss me!
— Ooh, you've become such a manly tyrant that I begin to flow in the stern of the ship. I did it because I've had feelings for you for a long time, and because you're an idiot! — Agatha hit me between the legs, and I fell to my knees in pain.
Agatha calmly opened the door to the conference room, where I saw Nemesis sitting. I struggled to get back on my feet and entered inside.
— Brother, you were trailing behind me so slowly. I've already had a conversation with Agatha about Evelina. She's not here, — Nemesis said.
— What do you mean she's not here? — I asked anxiously, pounding on the long table.
— It pains me too to hear that she's not with you and not by my side, — Agatha said calmly, shaking her head.
I furrowed my brows, feeling a slight indifference from Agatha, — You don't seem too upset about it!
Agatha shrugged and honestly confessed, — She means as much to me as a family member, but honestly... I restrained my feelings for you because she loves you. I didn't want to hurt her. But if she's not alive, then we'll...
I abruptly moved towards Agatha and slapped her across the cheek to make her stop saying such awful things.
Suppressing the urge to shout, I began to condemn her words and logic thoughtfully, — There is no *we*, you idiot! If Evelina is dead, you don't gain any right over me! How can you treat your own sister like that, wishing for her death?
The green-eyed girl grabbed her reddened cheek, marked with the imprint of my palm. Then, silently, she approached the mirror and showed a pained smile, — It truly is a fantastic feeling... Ah, the feeling of humiliation! I hope I can gain superpowers to follow you, Thanatos.
In shock, I opened my mouth, starting to look around for any sign of a glitch in the matrix or a fourth wall.
— What the hell is happening to you? Did you hit your head? — I said, grabbing Agatha by the forearm. I examined her for wounds, bites, or bruises, but she turned out to be completely unharmed and healthy.
— Haha-haha-haha, BROTHER! Hahahaha, she's a latent masochist, oh, my stomach hurts, — Nemesis laughed until she fell off her chair.
I pushed Agatha away and spat out harshly, — You're the chief of staff, and you're behaving like...
— Like a woman in love? I'm talking to you not as a superior or a military person. Nemesis is wrong about me, but I enjoy such treatment from you, — Agatha said, stroking my hand affectionately.
Letting out a restrained sigh, I shook my head and tried to walk away, but Agatha rushed into my embrace again. I suddenly felt the urge to strike her across the face, but when I saw Agatha's satisfied smirk, I abruptly changed my mind.
I didn't know how to properly escort the sick Agatha away from me, so I asked a provocative question, — And how many men have you allowed yourself to be humiliated by? How many cocks have dominated your masochistic personality?
The smile vanished from Agatha's face. She released me from her embrace and hung her head, blushing like a tomato.
I chuckled when my plan worked perfectly, but Agatha suddenly muttered quietly, — It's too shameful to say out loud... I never had a relationship... and... and stupid Evelina only talked about you for three years! And when the Apocalypse started, I thought that I would never get my portion and doses of pain from you, Thanatos.
Agatha raised pleading eyes at me, fidgeting in place. I understood why she constantly provoked conflicts with me, sought fights or violent interactions.
I also realized that she enjoyed it when her mother struck her across the face that day, but she successfully hid that fact from everyone, even Nemesis.
Nemesis noticed my ambiguous and contemplative gaze, so she decided to give me a hint, — Agatha has a professional personality disorder. She is indeed a sick person, but compared to me, she's a little angel, hehehe.
I wearily shook my head, blaming fate for these ridicules.
Why do I always attract such strange girls? Is Evelina with her quirks and bugs in her head the same? It's horrible! If I were to think about a harem of women, they should be cute, obedient, and rational thinkers.
Despite Agatha's troubled personality, which she hid before the Apocalypse, I was glad to hear that she hadn't been in any relationships before me.
In theory, I could give her a chance, but it would be such a hassle! Especially when I needed to focus on cultivation and the power of Chaos.
I became immensely curious about how this happened to her and why things turned out this way, so I asked, — How did you become like this? And why didn't you satisfy your masochistic needs with any man? You've been surrounded by the most athletic and tough soldiers, commanders, and captains for over ten years.
— Hey, considering my inclinations, I would become a whore if I ever allowed myself to give in to lustful predators even once. Couldn't you have asked an easy question? Agatha awkwardly uttered, starting to scratch her head and avert her gaze, — I vowed to maintain only professional relationships with my comrades and superiors. But I became such a complex person after half a thousand killings... find it so boring to kill just anyone that I have obsessive thoughts in my head about how I get hurt. I often read dark works about violence, and Evelina helped me buy subscriptions to various horrifying websites for which we could be imprisoned.
Nemesis noticed how uncomfortable Agatha felt, but her face grew redder and more excited with each word.
I also noticed Agatha's accelerated breathing, her sultry and wandering gaze, and her fidgeting posture, where her thighs brushed against each other. It seemed she enjoyed saying things she didn't want to say and discussing uncomfortable topics. Agatha definitely liked that I asked awkward and unpleasant questions.
— Alright, I roughly understand you, — I nodded calmly and approached her closely. Intentionally, I grabbed her by the throat and asked, — And what do you want? Don't you realize that having a relationship at the beginning of the Apocalypse is somewhat surreal, Agatha?
Agatha grabbed my hand and pressed it even harder against her neck, pretending that nothing strange was happening, — I-I... I know! But maybe we won't be here in a couple of months, and I would like to experience female happiness before I die.
— Did someone inform you about my abilities? — I asked, gripping her lower jaw with my other hand. I made her look directly into my eyes and speak to me face to face, while Agatha stood obediently, feeling a slight suffocation.
In a way, I was manipulating her vulnerability, which I had just discovered. If it made her weak, it would be easier to uncover her true motives and intentions.
Agatha gently licked my finger that had entered her mouth and, with a trembling voice, attempted to explain her feelings, — I know, but will that be enough to survive? And if I never acquire abilities, won't I die sooner or later? I'm an excellent specialist in fortification, personal protective equipment, and long-range shooting, but I lack a personal life! I'm just a tool in the hands of the country. But the White House has fallen, the Pentagon has been destroyed too! What's the point in our world? Only those who manage to gain magical powers and become stronger will survive.
Ignoring Nemesis, Agatha reached up on her tiptoes to kiss me on the lips.
I let go of her neck and throat and then put my palm between our lips, so Agatha kissed my hand, — Thanatos! This is what I have to do to make you love me and fuck me lovingly like a dirty bitch!
— Brother. Don't think too much, just rape her and privatize her as property, you Stellar Cultivator. I'll wait for you in our room, I'm next on the list, — Nemesis began to walk away, but Agatha ran away from me and ran to Nemesis to grab her by the wrist.
— Nemesis! Are you really fucking your blood brother? — Agatha asked with sparks in her eyes.
— Fair enough, you're not deaf. I am his older sister and guardian. It is not only my duty but also a personal desire because I love him as a person and as a man.
— Wow, how dirty and lascivious! Can I join in on the mischief with you? — Agatha began asking permission from Nemesis.
But Nemesis shook her head and pushed Agatha away, — A threesome will only happen if you become my brother's woman. He is the one in charge of our relationship, and I will trust Thanatos word and his decision.
Nemesis left the conference room, leaving me and Agatha alone.
— Agatha. I have almost no feelings for you. Do you really want me to do something with you right now? Perhaps we have a romantic future, but I am not... — I suddenly fell silent as a brilliant idea came to my mind.
Tears began to well up in Agatha's eyes, and her lips trembled at the possible rejection from me.
Meanwhile, I looked at the spatial ring on my ring finger and said, — And you know what? Fuck it plus fuck it! You're a virgin, so I have no reason to complain. I'll make you a Stellar Cultivator, and you'll be my personal servant against your will! No objections accepted.
Agatha trembled all over as she listened to my confident speech. She lowered her head, anticipating the terrible things I would do to her against her will, — C-Can I call you Master, Thanatos?
— No, not yet, — I replied, taking out a purple core from the artifact ring that my sister had given me. I handed the core to Agatha and said, — Now I will teach you how to properly unlock your superpowers. I will tell you what these abilities really are.
— Can I truly become as strong as you? — Agatha asked with excitement, seeking confirmation.
The long-haired brunette received a nod from me and clutched the core of the First Star monster tightly, seeing a possible future in it.
Yes, she is undoubtedly a troubled girl in need of psychological help, but as I looked into the future, I can confidently say that I will not regret my choice.
The most important thing is to make her strong enough to defend herself. And to be strong enough myself to satisfy her masochistic desires.
