Chapter 36 - Two Sides

Inside the mansion's hall.

A misty pink haze rose from the excited crowd engaged in a sex party, gently swirling around the goat's horn.

As the spectacle unfolded, the soft pink mist enveloping the goat's horn thickened, gradually taking the shape of a goat's head.

The Goat, its head embodying a regal presence, gazed imperiously at the person who stood with hands clasped in prayer.

"Not bad; you've exceeded my expectations. When I first met you, I never thought you'd manage to pull this off in just a couple of years." The Goat's mouth remained closed, yet the person could hear a voice echoing inside their head.

"Thank you for the compliment, Great Lord. But I still think I could do better. If not for your warnings these past few months, I would have been caught by that mysterious person in no time." The man replied gratefully, his masculine voice becoming apparent.

"Heh, just a little rat. I didn't think that person would trouble you again; now, you've got access to my true power." The Goat grinned in glee. "So, have you been enjoying the portion of power I granted you these past few months?"

"Yes, Great Lord." As he spoke, the man's face lit up with ecstasy. "In these past months, no one at my workplace has dared to ignore me again. I, Luwis Smith, had become a great figure! The men regarded me with reverence, and the women looked at me with desire. Even a few renowned actresses and famous news anchors couldn't resist throwing their panties away when I asked them to! HAHAHAHA! This is the life I've always yearned for! And you're the only one who could make it happen. Thank you for your invaluable assistance, Great Lord. I'm committed to being your steadfast number one subordinate." The man promptly kneeled.

"Hmmm..." The Goat hummed thoughtfully. "What will be the first thing you plan to do once you receive my inheritance?"

"The first thing..." Luwis revealed a contemplative expression before a distant look clouded his face, as if recalling something unpleasant, and his gaze deepened in resentment. "I WANT TO SUBDUE HER! I WANT TO CONQUER HER! I WANT HER KNEELING IN FRONT OF ME, BEGGING ME TO HAVE SEX WITH HER! EDITH!"

Realizing his outburst, Luwis immediately kowtowed. "My apologies, Great Lord! I let my emotions get the best of me and acted unseemly in front of you."

"No worries." The Goat seemed unfazed and inquired, "Who's this Edith woman you're becoming obsessed with? Can't you charm her even with my power?"

"She's a famous actress who has recently risen to fame and is also a great singer. She possesses the most beautiful face I've ever seen, as well as beautiful blue ha..." Realizing he was about to stray from the topic, he quickly coughed and started to address the second question. "That's the strange part, Great Lord. She appears to be immune to your power. While it always works on other women, it consistently fails when it comes to her," Luwis confessed.

The Goat's response came swiftly. "That's natural. Not everyone is as ordinary as you might think and remains oblivious to supernatural phenomena. The girl you were obsessed with might possess an item that could repel curses."

"So, what should I do now, Great Lord?! I genuinely want to subdue her! The disgust on her face when she looks at me. The cold, condescending tone she uses when she speaks to me. I've endured enough humiliation. I truly want to tame her, Great Lord! Please help this subordinate of yours!"

"Accept my inheritance, and from that moment onward, all women shall belong to you," the Goat declared. 

"Great Lord!" Luwis's eyes reflected a maniacal fervor. "I've pledged my soul to you. Please, please, grant me your inheritance!"

"As you wish!"

Suddenly, the goat's horn emitted an abundance of pink mist, gradually enveloping not only the mansion but also the neighboring houses, its reach expanding relentlessly.

Meanwhile, as the recipient of these formidable powers, Luwis was overcome by indescribable pain coursing through his body. Despite the agony, he clung to his frenzied determination. "THIS PAIN WON'T HALT MY PLAN TO BUILD MY HAREM. I, LUWIS SMITH, AM THE PROTAGONIST OF THIS WORLD!"

...

In another part of Alves City.

Two men donned matching black cloaks and combat boots, casually strolling along the street. Despite their relaxed appearance, their eyes were vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

The younger-looking man, appearing to be around 18, with an immature face, turned to his companion. "Senior, can't we head back to the apartment already? I'm feeling really sleepy."

His companion, a middle-aged man with his entire right arm bandaged, responded in a deep tone. "Sleep? Are you planning on quitting the Holy Judgment Army?"

"Huh? No way! Why would I even think that?" The younger man replied, sounding a bit taken aback.

"Then quit complaining! Another talk, and I'll give your performance a one-star rating! You cool with that?" The middle-aged man warned with a hint of threat in his voice.

"But senior, we've been walking for-" The younger man abruptly silenced himself as he caught a stern glare from the middle-aged man.

After a moment, unable to suppress his talkative nature, the young man couldn't help but pose another question. "Senior, didn't we already lose our base in this city? Doesn't that mean there could be a lot of supernatural creatures wandering around?"

"That's exactly why we must stay here. If anything happens to the residents, we'll disappoint our father for not carrying out his teaching accordingly," the middle-aged man explained.

"But that means our lives will be constantly in danger," the young man wanted to instinctively retort but quickly held back his tongue and posed another question that had been puzzling him.

"Senior, why did the Church suddenly launch an invasion to America?"

The middle-aged man immediately shot a stern look at the young man. "Don't refer to our Church's Sacred Quest as an act of invasion!"

"I apologize, Senior!" The younger man swiftly realized his mistake and hurriedly apologized.

The middle-aged man noticed that the younger man was just being curious and chatty. He decided not to extend the reprimand, and responded concisely, "Since you're still on probation, there's no need for you to know about this matter."

The younger man almost rolled his eyes in response. 'You scold me, and yet, in the end, refuse to provide any details?'

"But, considering you've been following my orders compliantly since this morning, apart from being a bit of a blabbermouth, you're actually decent. I've taken a liking to you. As a reward, I can share a little details of the Church's Sacred Quest," the middle-aged man suddenly declared with an air of suaveness.

The younger man's eyes lit up in excitement. "I'm all ears!"

"Actually, our Sacred Quest was to find..."

As the younger man eagerly awaited the middle-aged man's revelation, he noticed the latter had closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Damn it, you old bastard!

You just wanted to play with my feelings, didn't you?!

The younger man seethed inwardly, feeling betrayed. 

He felt like he was in a situation where he was in the middle of intercourse with his partner. Just as he was about to reach climax, his partner's parents unexpectedly came home, and his partner hastily escaped, leaving him scrambling to get dressed. And as for him? Left with nothing but frustration and blue balls! 

In the midst of a furious debate about whether he should simply curse at his senior to ease his frustration, he noticed his senior was staring in the opposite direction of where they had walked in. It was a prolonged gaze that left him somewhat terrified, recalling the presence of supernatural creatures roaming about.

"What's wrong?" he couldn't help but ask.

"I sense powerful demonic energy. Really powerful..."

"You've been saying that since this morning, yet we've encountered nothing," the younger man muttered to himself.

"Let's head over there. Follow me!" The middle-aged man wasted no time and agilely jumped onto the roof.

The younger man sighed, reluctantly following the man's movements.
