In a snowy wasteland, between two snow-covered mountains, Marino walked slowly and exhaustedly walked. His clothes were torn, his right hand was gone and coldness had taken all the feeling from his body.
Then as weakness overtook his legs and body, Marino fell on his knees and despaired. If only I were not so weak. If only I could have had a bit more power. Then I might have been able to slay that fat toad. If only I had a cheat system to guide me.
Then he felt a familiar ominous presence as a spark of energy was lit inside of his stomach. Then his bloody stump of a right arms exposed flesh started to glow bright red.
Looking at his glowing flesh Marino thought, what the f. Then he felt a pull on his arm and blood from his arm started to float away. His blood floated in a constant stream a few meters In front of him. There it formed into a circular shape.
Watching this in wonder Marino started to feel light-headed as his blood was sucked out of his body. Then a bright red fire was lit amidst the circling blood.
Little by little the circle grew and so did the fire. Then the circle split from the bottom as the blood flow from Marino's hand stopped.
Through blurry eyes, he saw the blood insert itself into the snowy ground. Now it looked like a blood-framed door with blood-red fire in the middle.
As the fire raged inside the door, storm clouds started to form. Heavy snow rained down as lightning struck the mountaintops. Then the familiar ominous voice spoke to him. " Muhahaha, the light is dimming and darkness is growing. But I see that your time is running short. You failed to accomplish my task and as such, you will not get the power you so desire. But seeing as you managed to partially accomplish your task. I have decided to grant you a small gift in return. Muhahaha. "
Then as the voice faded away Marino fell to the ground as he felt weakness overtaking him. Then as his vision faded away, he saw it. A big red, muscular foot came out from the fire accompanied by beastly howls from behind it. They resembled that of the demon dogs that Lust had summoned. Then big muscular, red and very naked creatures started stepping out from the flame, followed by big demon dogs. With his vision darkening he could see countless dark shadows walking past him. They chanted something in a foreign language as they walked past his dying corpse uncaringly and then his eyes closed and darkness overtook him.
Suddenly warmth surrounded his body as something tickled his nose. Then as consciousness started to come back to him. He tried to take in a breath of fresh air. But as he did so he could feel ash enter his airways causing him to start coughing violently.
Quickly jumping up Marino dusted himself off with his hands and attempted to draw in more air as he did so. Breathing in the dirty air he realized that it was filled with ash, but from where? Opening his eyes and taking a look at his surroundings he was shocked. The entire jungle was on fire and all around him, the jungle was being covered by ash. It was raining down from the dark clouds high above him.
Looking around he found himself standing in a small crater next to a small lake. Looking into the dirty dust-covered lake he finally realized it. " Holy shit! I have two arms again! Fuck yeah! "
Just like the god of war promised, his right arm had grown back but not as it once was. Now his arm was made of black stone with sharp spikes at the elbow and shoulder. His hand had black claws and his entire arm was hard as stone. Though this was not what he had in mind while trying to obtain Isekai power's, this was certainly good progress. Apparently, his powers were not leveling up but evolving, he could only Imagine what magnificence awaited him in the future. What was the final stage of his evolution? Marino wondered.
After admiring his new evolved arm for a while Marino finally woke up to reality. As In the far distance, a massive explosion could be heard, then a massive shock wave hit him and shook all the greenery around him. High in the sky he could see massive flaming boulders flying towards his position.
Oh shit, time to go. Marino thought as he quickly started to run through the ash-covered jungle. Behind him, sounds of explosions came as massive boulders hit the ground and bombarded the surrounding jungle, setting it aflame.
Then from his right came another massive explosion. This one was close by the sound of it. Then the shock wave hit him hard, sending him flying hard to the jungle floor as trees were ripped off their roots and sent flying a little ways away.
With the trees out of the way, Marino finally saw the cause of the explosion. It was a small newly formed volcano that spewed out magma and set the surrounding jungle a flame.
Seeing Marino was shocked. How did this happen? What of the fat toad? Is this his doing? Is it even alive after all that damage and now this?
Thinking of all this Marino was left in a dilemma. Should he still try to proceed in the toad assassination? Was the toad even alive still? Didn't he already get a reward for his quest and what was that dream before?
But after a moment of contemplating Marino remembered his business empire waiting back home. And most importantly he thought of his future world conquest that he wanted to start from Iberia as soon as possible. And lastly, he thought of not wanting to get burned alive in this jungle and he definitely didn't want to fight that angry toad if this was the true extent of his god-like toad powers. Thinking of all this he quickly got up and started to run east, hoping to find his fleet.
Then with great haste, he ran through the burning jungle, hopping over fallen trees and looking out for falling burning rocks. Along the way, he could see flaming dinosaurs running in a panic trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies.
Running atop a small mountain Marino could finally see the surrounding area. Behind him where Modern-day Mexico City would be located, he could only see multiple volcanoes erupting. On the southern side of his position entire mountain ranges were erupting. There were even some small eruptions from under the ground as it started to crack all over. The once beautiful Jurassic park-like Mexico was slowly turning into an ash-covered wasteland, resembling Mordor from the Lord of the Rings more and more.
To Marino, this was a one-of-a-kind type of sight. Never even in movies except the 2012 disaster movies had he seen such a sight. But as he stood there more and more ash started to build up on his torn clothes. Then as he prepared to continue on his journey back to the coast, ahead of him he saw in the distance two winged creatures carrying a man towards the coast. Squinting his eyes more he was able to see the trio of black figures. Hahaha, they actually made it. Thought Marino as he watched Envy and Lust Carrying Wrath across the burning jungle.
Then after a day and night of constant running Marino made it through the burning jungle to the next day. All his clothes had gotten burned along the way and now he looked like a one-horned pale white Tarzan. His black visible veins pumped blood and adrenaline throughout his body and his loincloth-covered big dick as he ran. Along the way he had managed to finally pick up a potato plant from the ground, fulfilling one of his goals in the new world.
Coming close to the coast a massive T-rex stood in his way roaring as he approached it. Uncaring of this he charged and with the help of a fallen tree jumped towards the beast. The T-rex opened it's mouth in anticipation of its new meal but all it got was a powerful right hook to the nose from Marino.
The T-rex howled in pain as it fell to the ground from the impact and watched as the small man just ran past it uncaringly. F yeah I punched a living T-rex with my bare fist, yes. This new arm is truly strong. Marino thought to himself and cheered.
Coming to the shore he could see the beaches and sea littered with dinosaurs. They were all trying to get away from the fires of the forest. The ones that could swim had gone into the sea as the others that couldn't were just standing at the shore. But panic seemed to have taken hold of them as the ones at sea were being attacked by some underwater creatures. Most likely sharks had sensed the splashing and smelled the blood in the water and now hunted the fleeing dinosaurs. As some dinosaurs ran away from the water others ran into the water as they were set aflame by the raging fires. This made the beach into a complete mess, as dinosaurs were just running around crashing into one another as smaller dinosaurs were crushed.
Not caring about this he looked onwards and jumped into the sea potato plant in his left hand.
In the distance a few kilometers away he had seen it, his navy was still loyally waiting for his return. Swimming through the sea the ash, sweat and blood washed away from his body.
Smelling the blood and sweat, a nearby coastal hunting, small shark sprang into action. Quickly it spotted it's target in the water and charged.
Sensing the coming danger Marino turned to face the incoming shark. Looking at it he could see that this was no normal shark. It's nose was in the shape of an axe and it appeared to be trying to use that sharp nose to cut him in half.
Then in a split second before impact, Marino decided to call it the axe nose shark species. After that, he sent a lighting-fast right hook into its axe nose. With great force, he punched it aside with his magnificent new black arm. Then with an evil grin on his face Marino continued onwards, leaving a stunned axe shark behind.
Quickly before other unfriendly creatures came and in order to preserve the potatoes he swam to his fleet. Once there he climbed up using the anchor of the ship Marino's Wrath.
In surprise the soldiers on board said. " Welcome back my lord. " And knelt in respect to him as the cultists behind continued to speak. " After those mountains erupted and the fires emerged the men were quite worried that the worst had happened to you. But I never lost hope. I have yet to hear the reports of your mission but I assume you succeeded my lord? "
Uncaring of this Marino had already long before the cultists started to speak turned to look at the coast of Mexico. All that he could see was the entire jungle a flame as a massive ever-widening smoke cloud loomed over the entirety of Mexico. Slowly it crept forward as everything under it was covered in a rain of ash. Even the coastal water slowly started to turn gray with ash. Then he turned to look to the other ship's where he could see all his subordinates alive and well. They all waved and cheered at him, welcoming him back. But Marino didn't care.
After analyzing the situation Marino said. " Wery good. " Then he turned and started to walk towards the ships wheel. Hearing no response come from Marino all the crew stood up and watched him in wonder.
Once reaching the wheel He yelled. " Raise the anchor and lower the sails, we are leaving. "
Then he gave the potato plant to a cultist and said. " Take this to storage. Now! "
Hearing his words all the crew on his ship and the others did as he commanded them to do. As the white sail's lowered revealing their red crosses the ships quickly picked up speed. From the land behind them came an unnaturally strong gust of wind pushing them forward along with the dark clouds behind them.
Marino decided that sailing along the same route that they came to Mexico on was the best course of action. He wasn't interested in coming across new obstacles along the way.
Looking behind them he could see the dark clouds following them. Now not only was ash raining down but lighting was striking the sea below as well. The ash rain was so dense that only after a few minutes of sailing the coast had completely disappeared behind the ash curtains.
Did they just somehow cause the extinction of the dinosaur's and lizardmen to happen, somehow. For how could anything survive all that ash and fire? To Marino, it appeared as if the apocalypse had started in Mexico and was now spreading to all the surrounding lands. If the clouds didn't stop soon then they would even reach the Caribbean islands soon. And if that happened then the ash would cover the islands causing massive losses in the plant life and creatures living there. Was all this a part of his god's plan Marino wondered as the ship sailed forward.
Then after hours of sailing the dolphins appeared once again. This time they immediately started pushing the ships and asked for no offerings. Looking at them he could see that they were different, much more beastly in nature than before. Their eyes glowed yellow their mouths held sharp rows of teeth and the skin had turned darker. He could also sense an ominous dark aura surrounding them. Were they creatures sent here by his god, Marino wondered.
With the help of the dolphins, their trip would be smooth sailing from here on out, so he let a cultist take over as he had other things to do.
Walking to the main deck he saw just the man he was looking for. Sloth sat on the deck watching the ash storm raging behind the ship in wonder.
" Hey, Sloth get your lazy ass up and let's fight. You probably haven't done anything while I was away and I can't have you going soft on me. So get up and let me test out my new arm and remember no weapons just use your body. Ok? " Marino said to Sloth as he kicked his leg.
" Ohh, ok Boss. But boss, where is my brother? Couldn't you just fight him? He always likes to fight and eat. " Sloth said slowly.
Marino had yet to tell Sloth what happened to his brother Gluttony as it seemed quite unnecessary. As soon as they could just arrive in Envys masters domain, Gluttony would be reviewed as an immortal badass undead warrior. So in order to avoid any lengthy explanations about this he just said. " Don't worry like I said before, you will see him soon. He just has other matters to take care of with Envy first ok? So just focus on the fight. "
Ok said Sloth as he stood up and tossed his heavy sword aside and pulled down his hood, revealing his face. He was dressed in his normal black cultist outfit without any armor, though it did look quite tight for him.
Sloth had grown nicely during their journey to the new world. Now he easily towered above Marino with his Impressive height and width. But this was not at all surprising since Sloth and his brother were both Ogres. It was a war-like savage race, filled with idiots and emotionally deficient human-like ugly creatures. Their only good quality was the fact that they were easy to control and useful in battle, thanks to their size. But during peace time they would only cause problems to the smaller human population. So they mostly lived in faraway lands and in the desolate mountain ranges.
Sloths face was unimpressive, just plain looking. He had a big nose, dark hair and gray eyes. His face never changed, it always looked bored. And with this bored expression, he said. " Ok, boss. "
Then Sloth sent a heavy right hook towards Marino's face.
Seeing this he easily dodged it.
Then came a left jab.
But this was easily dodged as well.
" You are too slow Sloth. How are you ever going to be able to kill anything if you can't even catch your target? " Marino said while dodging a few more attacks.
Hearing this Sloth put more effort into his attacks increasing his speed increased and volume of attacks.
" Good good. " Marino commented as he kept dodging. Then he sent a sideways kick to Sloths knee, making him stumble. With Sloths face lowered down towards the ground he followed up with a spin kick to his face.
Bang! Came the sound of Sloth crashing to the deck of the ship. " Not good enough Sloth. I want more. " Said Marino.
Now feeling pain and with a bruised face, Sloths face turned ugly. Angryly he got back up and charged blindly towards Marino. " That punch hurt boss and now I'm mad. " Sloth said as he tried to punch Marino crazily.
With the increased speed, Marino found it hard to dodge the incoming attacks and was forced to block. Blocking the attacks with his left arm caused it to go slightly numb. But quickly he discovered that this was not the case for his right arm. Each punch to it actually seemed to cause damage to Sloths hand as it slowly turned bloodier.
Seeing this Marino smirked and grabbed a hold of both Sloths hands. And before he could react Marino pulled on them bringing Slith to his head level. Then he gave him a mighty headbutt. Sloth broke his nose on Marino's head, then came a mighty black-handed right hook to his face. Marino hit Sloths head hard like a sledgehammer, shaking his almost nonexistent brain hard. Then came a hard bang as Sloth hit the deck hard again.
Not seeing movement from Sloth, Marino commented. " Well looks like I win. "
Then as he turned around a hand grabbed a hold of his right leg. " Huh? " Marino said as the hand tightened hard around his leg and without warning he was tossed against his cabin door and through it.
" Kyaaaaaa! " Came the shocked yelp's of his women inside the cabin.
" I win! " Came the voice of Sloth from behind.
Hearing these yells Marino felt annoyed as he stood up again. Lifting his open palm towards the two scared women they went quiet. Then he dusted himself off and walked towards Sloth ones more.
Like that, they sparred until both were bloodied and tired. While Marino's hand was strong as stone and his body was that of a super humans, it still wasn't quite equal in strength compared to an ogre. But with his smaller and lighter body, he was able to dodge most of Sloths attacks. In sparring they only used the force for strengthening their bodies. Like so the battle was kept quite equal.
After sparring for hours they cleaned themselves up with seawater, washing away the blood and sweat from their bodies.
Looking at his reflection in the bucket of water Marino frowned. How was he still so weak? Or was Sloth just that strong? He wondered. Right from the start Sloth and Gluttony had been quite a unique existence, not only for his force abilities but also because of his body.
Both their bodies were filled with muscle naturally and their shapes were much more human than most others of their species. Ogres were usually easy to spot out from a crowd of humans. Not only because of their size but because of the way they looked. But not them, Gluttony and Sloth looked just like two extremely big bodybuilder humans.
With disappointment on his face, Marino walked into his cabin. Luckily during the sparring match, they had managed to avoid damaging the ship anymore and his men had also managed to repair his broken door.
Walking inside he saw the two elf women with hard leather collars that had chains that were attached to the floor. They were sitting on his bed casually talking with one another as they occasionally laughed or giggled.
Marino frowned at hearing this. Are they mocking me? Damn, I really need to learn their language at some point. Or maybe they should learn mine, after all, they are my slaves.
Too tired to think about this anymore he simply stripped himself and went to sleep in between the women who watched him curiously.
Once again Marino's body had changed without them having any idea why. So now curiously they poked and touched his hard right hand. But this went completely unnoticed by Marino as he was already fast asleep.
Since the elf women were constantly kept inside his cabin without anything to do they weren't quite ready to sleep yet. So now with plenty of pent-up energy left in their bodies, the girls decided to have some fun with Marino's hard-sleeping dick.
