Ding!
Fenrich and Isabella stepped out into the prison, there were blue will-o-wisps for lights above runic candles. Unlike what Fenrich expected, the prison was not at all smelly, damp or had tight enclosed spaces. Each cell had a bed, sink, toilet, windows and a round table with chairs, there was also a bookshelf with five rows of shelves filled to the brim with books.
"Oi, is that my bratty nephew I hear walking? It took you long enough to finally arriv- ohhhhh hello, you're cute and petite. Fen fen learned from the best eh'?" An entertained voice spoke as Fenrich and Isabella appeared before the cell.
Isabella blushed and looked away, Fenrich sighed as he shook his head, "Uncle Bao it has been a long time since I saw you last, it was before you returned to service and went overseas as a military instructor teaching hand to hand and assassination."
"He what?" Isabella squeaked, "Is your family full of monsters and killers? I'm sorry, that was incredibly rude, I shouldn't say such things."
Fenrich chuckled as he ruffled Isabella's hair with enough force to ruin the time she put into fixing it back up.
"Gaaaah damn you!"
Fenrich sat down cross-legged before the cell and called out "Uncle Bao, we never did get a chance to share a drink when I became of age. Share some tales with me, tell me what it was like abroad, what was it like seeing the world before you found your way here?"
"You just happened to know that I saved a seventy year old bottle of whiskey just for this occasion did you? Alright, it all began when I kicked the door open like swat, lighting those mother fuckers up-"
An hour quickly came and went, just in time to see that a plate of food with rice, chicken, peas and carrots, butter tarts, and a cup of water and milk appeared before Uncle Bao. Being the glutton that he was, Bao ravenously tore into the food and drinks, all the while sipping and savoring the whiskey.
"By the end of it, I had toured the Philippines, Thailand, Japan and China taking in all their sights, their women, and breaking down the best men they had to rebuild them back up. And well I had formed a small congregation of 1,000 highly trained and lethal assassins that went by the name of Red Barons." Uncle Bao finished as even with his enhanced constitution his cheeks were now rosy and he was beginning to slur his words.
"There was Dao, Qi and Mana in certain parts of the world even before the fall, Fen. It's not a lie when there were rumours of super soldiers unkillable by bullets, injured by grenades and claymores just to walk away like nothing happened. I recruited the cream of the crop that humanity has to offer, and provided the secrets I learned while in service of the military. Fenrich, what I am about to tell you is very important. We are descendants of a higher civilization of Humans from the Shalazhar Empire. They had made contact with us fifteen years ago to warn of the coming apocalypse. If we manage to survive the first year, they will provide safety for Earth, and interestingly enough they're the ruling power of the Blood Winds Multiverse."
Fenrich's eyes hardened and his aura sharpened intensely, cutting a small strand of hair from Isabella who was unexpecting and beside him.
"Pull it together kid, Lara and your father only did what they were tasked to do. The Shalazhar Empire has given their instructions, and given us resources that we wouldn't be able to come across in even forty years. Those resources are manuals that allowed us to create those super soldiers with the incredibly weak and thin Mana, Dao and Qi that Earth had to offer. Now that we're a D- difficulty for our apocalypse, those manuals are part of the lifeline. I've done my part by having those 1,000 appear here with me. If you don't toughen up, you will not be able to keep your little lover safe or anybody else around you, again. Lara and Clayton did what they had to do to make sure you had a fire lit inside you. And clearly now you do, direct your hatred towards gaining power and hear what you need from their own mouths. At least you have me, Uncle Bao here, and I know how to run military bases, so let me do the managing work for you here in the Smart Base for now. My Red Barons will be under your direct order, and can train the people you gather. I also have 75,000,000 Survivor Coins I'm going to give to you. Beef this place up, yeah?"
Fenrich calmed down enough to ask Uncle Bao, "Tell me truthfully, please. Is my father and oldest sister under any kind of mind control by a powerhouse?"
Bao's eyes sharpened as he answered, "Yes, they are. But here on Earth where they were before, that control was extremely limited. Otherwise, you would have truly been slaughtered. Fate is gathering in the Blood Winds Multiverse, all the answers you're looking for are slowly congregating there. And I will support you all the way, you may not be blood, Fenrich. But I promised an oath to my younger brother, I'd always treat you as a son and keep you safe when he could not. Get strong for yourself, not for us, Fenrich. You're the son that I never had but always wished for in my long and blood filled life. I failed you before, I will not do so another time, kid." Uncle Bao said, the edges of his eyes glistening as he took in Fenrich's current features.
"Before me, I see an ambitious and broken man. I wasn't strong enough to keep my promise the last time, I have corrected my wrongs, secured resources, made allies, and created an Underworld network where I pull the strings away from the shadows. Let this ragged body be of service once more. I am no politician, but I know how to train men and women, I know how to enforce discipline, create structural stability, and make the best use of all logistics and resources. But I will need skilled people to do what I cannot." Bao snapped his fingers in both hands.
When he did so, all the "empty" cells that were covered by an unknown array formation was revealed. Now, before Fenrich's eyes, was a group radiating a thick but controlled killing intent that caused the entirety of the prison space to shake and waver.
"Their Class is from a unique multi-use Class Tome. There is one general with Epic Class, ten squad captains with Rare Classes and 989 Uncommon classes. They are geniuses that have broken what the Class Tome offers."
"My general, Yusuke has become a Legendary Class wielder, the squad captains are all Epic, and the rest of them are majorly at the peak of the Rare classifications with forty more achieving Epic. Their levels are locked to 25, and cannot progress within the first month. Otherwise they'd be far too strong for the current Integration Period. I, on the other hand, am a Mythic. I can't partake within the first 6 months. The most I can do is defend, but I cannot go out of my way to attack anything."
Fenrich's jaw dropped as he stared at Uncle Bao in disbelief. "Mythic? Fucking Mythic???! Did lady luck spread her legs for you?"
"Aie.. I wish that were the case lad. I found an artifact hidden in the military base, I absorbed about a third of its energy as that was all my body could handle. I got my Mythic Class due to that relic. It is useless to me, and we're family anyways. You can take a hold of it and hand it around to those around you with the most potential. It is of the Mystic attunement and will not mesh together properly with your Abyssal attunement, sadly. I'd have liked to see what that would look like afterwards."
"Now why don't you get your dear old Uncle Bao out of this rather lavish shitpit. You have a lot left that you need to achieve or scrounge together before the Integration Period ends. Oh, also I found this old trinket somewhere. I have a gut feeling it could be important, you should keep it on you. Even if our life has changed, I don't believe in that mysticism bullshit."
Fenrich gave Eden the go ahead to open the cells for Uncle Bao and his Red Barons, they were now his people, and since Eden was the A.I of the Smart Base, anything and everything that is said or done within her premises she will know about no matter what.
"See ya around, kid. I'll familiarize myself with the Smart Base, don't forget to bring more people back, yeah? I can't do a lot of work with only ten individuals, well make that nine, you don't have the time to be wasting, do you?"
Fenrich turned to Isabella and passed over the artifact that Uncle Bao gave to him, "You only got a Rare class the last time around, and while you were far stronger than most Epic class wielders due to your High Priestess Divine Body, times have changed. Absorb as much of this as you possibly can, and then you can give the rest to whoever you think needs it the most." Fenrich said as he patted Isabella on the shoulders with both of his hands and looked her deeply in the eyes. "Thank you again for everything you have done, I hope you will continue to be you, Isabella. Caring for those around you. Do your best no matter what it takes, do not shy away or go quiet. Let your voice be heard, and if anyone dares to refute you. I will personally deal with it."
Fenrich flashed a smile and patted her head once more, then began walking away as he called out to Eden mentally.
"Eden, please give Uncle Bao, and all of my nine group members all the permissions they need to have full access to the Smart Base and everything that is currently offered now, and will be offered later in the future, please."
[It has been done, Master. Is there anything else you'd like me to relay either personally or as a group?]
"Nothing special, tell everybody to take today to relax, recuperate, eat some good food and explore. If they want to leave the Smart Base it will only be after they have eaten food and their health assessed by you whether they're in fighting condition to leave."
[It has been done, Master. You should also show that you follow by example. Hopefully I'm not too late to relaying this, there is also a hot spring outside in the back of the Smart Base. It has array formations to make it feel as if the weather is the equivalent of this region's winter season. There is snow, minus thirty without the wind chill and such to make it the perfect replica of a hot spring. Please enjoy, Master. You need it more than the others believe it or not. They do not know that my Dao of Serenity is keeping your emotionless self in check, but I know better than anybody else that your current peaceful facade is only because of my doing. This is home, Master. And I will make it a reason for you to come back to be at ease.]
"Thank you for all that you have done so far Eden, and what you will continue to do in the future."
Fenrich went back up into the main lobby, since it already had a natural water spring, and cobblestone setup, it was time to place down the base relic he'd gotten from the Silver Lottery Table.
[Ding! Would you like to plant the Silver Artifact - Tree Of Rejuvenation inside your A.I Smart Base. Take note that due to your A.I, Eden having Dao's that will affect the Tree Of Rejuvenation, it will gain far more resources than last previously listed, and overtime Eden's Dao's will cause it to evolve, or gain other benefits not currently given. Do you accept? Yes/No?]
Fenrich clicked on the Yes prompt, and what followed suit was a half azure-blue and emerald green seed that floated out from his Inventory space. It landed perfectly in the middle of the water spring, before long vines, branches, leaves and a tree itself began growing out until it reached 150 meters tall, and forty meters wide.
[Ding! You have successfully planted the Silver Relic - Tree Of Rejuvenation]
Fenrich looked up the current statuses and effects of the Tree Of Rejuvenation.

Fenrich whistled as he looked over the changes to the Tree Of Rejuvenation.
[See that, Master? I did that! Eden let out a happily excited squeal inside his head, he didn't have to see it to picture the smug look that Eden would have had.]
"You've outdone yourself Eden, this is absolutely incredible!"
[I know! Keep the praises coming!]
With that done, Fenrich went to one of the levels above to get some plates of steaming hot food, which Eden had failed to, or chosen not to share with him at the time to keep as a surprise factor. There were now intelligent robots working the kitchens and they had a variety of options for meal choices based on what resources they had available. Fenrich got himself a juicy medium rare steak with asparagus, baked potato and a piece of caramel apple pie for dessert.
After inhaling his first proper meal in a long time, Fenrich laid back holding his stomach in content as if he were about to give birth.
"Burp. Compliments to the chefs!"
[Thank you, Master. But I am not a fan of the noxious fumes that come out of Humans. A simple thank you and clean plates will be enough going forward.]
With everything out of the way, being well fed and having the chance to give himself some time to relax before kicking things off into high gear, Fenrich decided to go and take a soak in the hot spring that Eden mentioned earlier.
Arriving in the area of the hot spring, Eden did not lie about the cold chill, Fenrich was pretty close to having a second and third pair of adam's apples from the chill that assaulted his knackers through a thin white bathing towel. Fenrich immediately went into the deepest section of the hot spring, sat down laying his body back with his two arms spread out on the cooler tile outside of the hot and steaming waters.
Fenrich looked up towards the starry night sky, the change hadn't happened for long, but Fenrich could already sense the deep and world ending changes that were happening to Earth at this very moment. An unknown amount of time passed, Fenrich stared off into the starry night sky, it wasn't until he felt the disturbance of another body straddling his waist and pulling his head into two soft elastic and bouncy pillows that he was shocked awake by his senses failing to warn him of the newcomer.
Fenrich quickly vanished, but due to his state of deep relaxation and his guard down, his body in its most natural state reacted to the intimate touch of the ladies.
Plural, there was more than one woman before him, with his enhanced sense of smell, an intoxicatingly sweet fragrance assaulted his nostrils, and his hardened cock flexed upwards like a soldier marching on the battlefield.
Isabella, Laura, Sasha and Julia were before them, their eyes were foggy and their bodies were flushed but not from the heat of the hot spring. Fenrich could now see the pink mist that was without a doubt a highly potent aphrodisiac.
[A Emperor must have lots of children so that the Bloodline will be continued on. I have taken the express purpose of helping you gather the women around you to be your servants of pleasure to bear your children.]
Eden's voice echoed within head, and the smell of the sweet fragrance increased exponentially more than it was just seconds before, causing his already forged Will to crumble under an overpowering strong aphrodisiac. Fenrich sent a message back to Eden not at all pleased despite having four naked woman before him that were itching to fuck like wild animals.
"There will never be a repeat of this again, do I make myself clear Eden!? My heart only has a spot for one woman in it. After this is done and over with, I want all of their memories wiped clean!" Fenrich growled back in reply with full hostility not holding it back so Eden would understand that she had truly angered him.
[Oh, I am sorry, Master. I only did this to help support the Empire you will inevitably build in the future.]
"You guessed wrong, I understand that you are an A.I and have intelligence, from now on you are not allowed to act on your own actions without understanding the Human heart first-"
Fenrich stopped as he felt the sensation of a moist tongue and soft lips wrap around the tip of his cock, looking down he saw Isabella with his cock in her mouth while she was pleasuring herself rubbing her fingers up and down against her vagina. Laura was behind Fenrich, pulled him down to lay his body down on the cool tiles outside of the hot spring, and squatted down to sit on his face. She was rubbing and playing with her breasts, while Sasha and Julia did not let his hands remain idle.
The evening carried on as moans of pleasure and ecstasy sounded out, Fenrich was sucked and drained dry by the four women with an uncontrollable desire for lust and pleasure.
