Chapter 43 - The Return Of Kokabiel?

The next day, in the time chamber, Zeno is currently putting many electronic devices, such as smartphones, laptops, microwaves, and toasters, on the table. He was going to experiment with the Godblood that he received from the gacha roll yesterday.

He thought that it was a fraud at first, but to his surprise, it actually worked, and now he is biologically immortal. He still feels surreal that he will never die from old age or natural causes as long as Godblood remains in his body.

Zeno hovered his hand above the smartphone he had recently purchased this morning for this experiment as a drop of silver liquid fell on the smartphone from his index finger. To use Godblood, it is very simple; the user just has to mentally or verbally command it to do something, and Godblood will respond to the user's intention, but the user will have to provide energy and material for Godblood to work.

After the drop of Godblood touched the smartphone, it began to expand rapidly and covered the smartphone completely with silver liquid in seconds before the smartphone started to disappear, like it was being eaten by countless tiny creatures.

Five seconds later, the smartphone has completely disappeared, and only a tiny puddle of silvery liquid is left behind under Zeno's curious gaze.

Then the puddle of silver liquid starts to move again as they move to other devices by extending the lines of silver liquid to the other targets and consuming them all on the table.

After consuming all of the electronic devices on the table, Godblood then gathered itself into a silver cube on the table before a almost paper-thin device that looked like an iPad was constructed from the cube at a fast speed. It looks like a big plastic card with a height of 22 centimeters and a width of 16 centimeters.

Zeno picked up the said iPad-like device after it was constructed with curiosity and excitement as he touched the universal icon of the circle with a single straight line that crossed down the lower half of the circle to power up the device that appeared in the middle of the screen.

With the sound of a bell ringing, the screen lit up instantly and displayed the homepage with a blue sky background like a normal smartphone and some small icons of various applications.

"Behold the Handheld Master Terminal, or HMT!"

Zeno declared with a happy grin as he held up the HMT in the air like Simba being held by Rafiki.

Why did he create this device? Well, he just wants a cooler smartphone that can hack other electronic devices and, most importantly, free internet.

So, yeah, that's the reason.

"Alright, next..."

He placed the HMT on the table after he started feeling silly and then looked at the cube. He then mentally commands the cube of Godblood to produce a battery that can recharge itself with any kind of energy.

Then, a second later, a 20-centimeter-tall, 10-centimeter-wide, and gray-colored battery in a cylinder shape came out of the Godblood cube.

Zeno smirked as he picked up the battery before he started filling it with his demonic energy. A minute passed before a blue light lit up on the little glass on top of the battery, notifying Zeno that the battery was full and causing him to stop channeling his demonic energy inside it; otherwise, the battery would explode.

He only used around a low-class devil's worth of demonic energy to fill up this battery.

This single battery should have a capacity of at least 50,000 kilowatts of energy, meaning it can power around five houses with electricity simultaneously for a month. And with the ability to recharge itself with all kinds of energy, this battery will be able to supply power for a long time without having to be manually recharged by someone from time to time.

"Hmm... I wonder if it can produce the arc reactor or something similar."

Zeno muttered as he placed the battery in his hand down on the table. He is not sure if it is possible.

By the description of Godblood, it should be able to create the Arc Reactor since it's not actually something that was created out of nothing but a device that is basically a perpetual machine.

"It should work, right?"

With great anticipation, Zeno commands the Godblood cube to create the Arc Reactor.

But immediately he got the "Insufficient Material!" notification from Godblood, as it directly displayed a transparent floating message in the upper right corner of his vision. Zeno raised both of his eyebrows in surprise and excitement at the message.

"Oh? So it is possible!"

Zeno smirked like a villain while rubbing his hands together. He only has to bring more material for the Godblood cube to create the Arc Reactor, and the material can be anything, even a random stone from the roadside, since Godblood is capable of matter manipulation, so anything will do as material.

Zeno wants to laugh out loud and dance, as now he can start building his faction without having to worry about energy use anymore. He can build many things from other fictional works without having to wait for the weekly gacha roll.

"Well, that's for later; now I have a date with Himiko in the afternoon today."

He chuckled with a wry expression as he quickly left the time chamber while also taking the HMT along with him. He will use Godblood to create an AI for trading and have it make money for him before he goes out on a date with Himiko.

He wonders how the date with her will go this time.

÷×÷×÷

At the train station in the afternoon, Zeno was walking to the place where Himiko was waiting for him with his hands inside his pants' pockets. He was dressed in a black coat over a white tank top and black jeans with a leather belt and black boots.

He arrived at the place and saw Himiko waiting for him as she fidgeted with her smartphone. She was dressed in a thin white coat over a pink blouse and a black mini skirt with stockings and black high heels. In one of her hands is a shoulder bag with a long strap.

"Hello there, Murabiki-san!"

Zeno called out to her with a smile, and when she turned her head in his direction, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Ah! H-Hello, Zavior-san."

She then blushed shyly when she saw his face up close again, since she ended up remembering the kisses they had with each other on the previous date. She wondered if it was okay to kiss him as a greeting, like a lover. They should be at that level, right? They are, right?

Now she feels anxious. Good going, Himiko, she thought to herself.

When Zeno arrived in front of her, Himiko started fidgeting as she looked at him with upturned eyes and blushing cheeks. Zeno raised his eyebrow, as he could see the obvious expectation in her eyes.

They spent ten long seconds looking at each other in awkward silence until Zeno managed to read her mind by some miracle before he gave her a wry smile and leaned in closer to her ear, whispering softly.

"Do you want me to kiss you, Murabiki-san?"

Himiko's heart skipped a beat at his question, and she felt her face heat up even more. She nodded shyly, unable to find her voice. Zeno smiled and leaned in to kiss her softly on the lips, feeling the warmth and softness of her lips against his.

"Chuchu... ah... Zavior-san... chu..."

Himiko's heart fluttered at the sensations on her lips, and she couldn't help but melt into the kiss. After a few seconds, he pulled away from her, smirking, leaving her dazed.

"So, did you miss me?"

Zeno asked her with amusement in his tone as Himiko slowly came back to her senses, looking at him with a mix of embarrassment and resentment.

"W-Well, I... I thought about you a lot, yes..."

She admitted it in a low voice, as she avoided looking at him in the eyes. She has had a lot of wet dreams about him, and she has had to comfort herself a lot lately. She blamed him for making her into such a lewd girl.

"Well, I'm flattered that you think of me a lot, Murabiki-san."

Zeno said with a chuckle, earning him a cute glare from Himiko.

"Alright, let's get going then."

Zeno smiled and pulled out his hand from the pocket as he stretched out his hand to her. He can't help but notice that, from the previous date, Himiko liked to hold hands a lot.

"Ah, yes!"

Himiko, with a bit of shyness, took Zeno's hand as she felt his warmth while holding his big hand. Then the two of them walked away from the train station, hand in hand.

As they were walking together, Himiko couldn't help but feel very happy that her spring had finally arrived.

÷×÷×÷

In the evening, inside Himiko's bedroom, after the date, Zeno carried the drunk Himiko to her bed as he put her down with a bit of difficulty since she didn't want to separate from him.

"Noo~"

She slurred as she hugged his arm tightly, refusing to let go. Zeno sighed and let her do as she pleased while getting on the bed with her.

He sat on the edge of the bed as she hugged his right arm in between her large and soft breasts. She looked at his face with the flushed face of a drunk person as she grinned foolishly. They went out drinking together in the bar at the end of their date before he ended up having to carry her home.

"Ehehe~ Zavior-san~ sooo handsome~"

She slurred as she leaned her head on his shoulder while still hugging his arm. Zeno looked down at her, slightly amused by her drunken behavior. He then takes a look around Himiko's girly bedroom with a bit of interest. He found some plushies and many light novel books around her room. There is also a stack of paper on the desk next to the bed, probably a script of novels she has to review.

After a while, Himiko finally fell asleep in his lap, snuggling close to him. Zeno gently removed her arms from his waist and laid her down on the bed with a blanket covering her body, making sure she was warm and comfortable before he himself got up from the bed.

Zeno walked over to the window and gazed out into the night sky, lost in thought.

His relationship with Himiko seems to be going well, but that's because she didn't know that he has many lovers and someone from the supernatural side of the world. He intends to tell her today, but he kind of feels bad about ruining the date for Himiko since she seems to be having a lot of fun.

He glanced back at the sleeping Himiko with a helpless expression before deciding to tell her about him next time.

He walked close to the bed and leaned down before kissing her on the lips.

"Goodnight Himiko-chan."

He whispered goodbye to her and then went out of her bedroom.

"Ehehe~"

Himiko giggled in her sleep as she had a silly smile on her face.

÷×÷×÷

When he came out of Himiko's apartment, Zeno coincidentally spotted a beautiful young girl with long white hair and blue eyes who was currently walking alone on the sidewalk on the other side of him with grocery bags in her hands.

"Momo Hanakai..."

That's right, the girl was Momo, one of Sona's peerage members.

"Hmm..."

Zeno was rubbing his chin as he observed the girl.

This seems like a good opportunity; should he do it? The girl was alone, and he could kidnap her to the time chamber and clone her easily before releasing her back to Kuoh Town.

He also had the ability to shapeshift and disguise himself, so it's impossible to search for him based on his appearance.

"Well, why not?"

He muttered as he decided before he went inside an alley next to Himiko's apartment, where he morphed his body and transformed into Kokabiel.

"Heh, I'll have a lot of fun with this."

Zeno, with the appearance of Kokabiel, smirked as he came out of the alley and walked in the direction of Momo in the distance.
