Having bitten off his tongue, Valon didn't even wince in pain as his strange eyes watched Zell with a look of affection and insanity.
'Weird...'
With black blood oozing down his face, the man who held all control over his existence suddenly tossed him like a used ragdoll, arcing towards the gate.
A moment later, Valon heard his new master's chilling but delightful orders filling his chest.
"Make sure to gather as many Demon Lords and Brutes as possible within 2 hours, if you do. I will forgive everything you did to upset me~"
The enchanting voice of Zell was like a curse, making the pain in his chest, the strange feeling of being eaten alive, vanish.
only
His face
His voice
His orders
For Valon, it was like only Zell mattered; he forgot his Prince and King.
There was only Zell Draganus.
Zell felt amazed at the effect of his unsealed and evolved incubus bloodline, with the abyssal race of incubi added. It seemed to create a strange mutation, something beyond a mere lust demon.
Still, he hadn't considered naming it or including this race as part of his holy trinity of Abyssal, Dragon and Daemon as the Zell Draganus.
"Oh my... you've become so...."
"Oi, boy. Are you Zell Delacroix? How... How do you feel about my granddaughter, daughter and great-granddaughter!" Evelyn interrupted the gentle and loving Elizé holding her back as she felt a tremble of fear towards this man.
'Ah, ever the cute fairy... even when you are angry, you look so lovely... silly woman... If it were not for you being my brother's beloved, I might eat you on the spot. Shall I seal this memory... Baal was such a nice brother... and Master... I don't need every woman I set my eyes on...'
He slowly turned around; his face was fearsome; there was no emotion, narrow golden eyes with snake-like slits, watching the pair as they felt their skin tremble and form goosebumps.
"Oh? Do you want the truth, fairy?"
"Say it!" Her body was filled with black magic, and purple shards transformed into lances that all faced Zell's body.
"Hahahahaha! Do you want to die?" His voice lacked all the kindness from before, a mere palm facing her, bigger than Evelyn's entire face, as a black flame spilt around his wrist.
"How I feel about them..."
"How..."
"Cut the crap, Zell!" Her voice trembled as she shouted, but Zell just watched her with dull eyes, his flames rapidly spinning faster with each moment that passed.
He looked towards Elizé, his arms opening and flicking his chin.
"Come to your husband, Elizé. Last time you sure had your fun treating me like a virgin boy. Next time you won't be so lucky."
"Oh, my~ don't say, don't say... my mother is right there!"
Elizé shivered as the handsome man with the same eyes as before looked at her with tenderness as she dashed into his arms, finally able to show her emotions, the worry and fear he might be hurt, or worse, as tears flooded her eyes.
Her beautiful curves bounced and swayed as the short woman jumped into his arms, wrapping hers around his neck.
"You're safe now." He whispered, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
Zell looked over her shoulder, ignoring Evelyn's aggression and strange mood, looking into her eyes with a faint smile.
"Evelyn, whether it's the girls I met before or the women I meet in the future and fall in love with. As long as they have me in their hearts and love me honestly. Then I will accept and give them everything I can."
"Even if they might all be your granddaughter and great-granddaughter."
He held Elizé tightly, thinking about the women who were away, currently fighting in the game, or maybe inside the city; he could feel Veronica's presence growing closer every moment, while the two dragon sisters were a deadly pair.
Lusia and her mother, he could feel them, such a strong bond between himself and his dragon priestess that even her current feelings and situation were vivid if he just closed his eyes and thought about them.
"Hmph... If you make my cute girls cry, I'll never let you off!"
"If I should let them down, please strike me down as you wish; that is the ultimate failure as a man."
"Honey~ don't be so silly; you have so many women; how can we expect so much from you..." Elizé whispered as she rubbed her head against his.
Immediately countless memories that she had long forgotten, times she embraced him as a mere human, the actions of that day affected by the memories when she met him randomly on a rainy day.
'This woman... She didn't just devour me in this life! What a cunning and sexy milf!'
In one life, during the second merger, after losing his first pet, she took him home, devoured his virginity, and made him into her pet, keeping him safe until she died.
"I'll make sure to treasure you all, even if I am lousy at it now; I want all of you to feel special and needed. Most of you deserve more of me than the past few months could give you."
She kissed his cheek, then his forehead, before she pulled back, looking into his eyes and smiling. "Thank you, Zell."
"I should thank you, idiot woman. Stop acting like you're older; you're so young."
"Oh, my~ do you want to seduce my clothes off right here!?" She said quickly, but Zell chuckled and shook his head.
He patted her rump as she blushed and giggled.
"My dear, my darling." A voice echoed through the cave, causing Elizé to drop her hands and turn around.
It was Alizée and Scarlet who arrived.
Alizée looked at him with a bitter and slightly angry look.
Still, her mother's eyes and happy face stopped that feeling as she rushed to him, carrying the siren in her arms, knowing that she was currently carrying her beloved's children.
'Her arm looks tender; this is a newly regrown limb... Alizée, how much you suffered before I was useless...'
"Hello, you two, you look awful~" He replied with a bitter smile before looking around, his eyes scanning the area as two beautiful women slowly floated down towards him, one brilliant red, like a flaming volcano, the other an icy blue her body like the manifestation of winter.
"Husband, you look so charming, but why did you leave me sleeping? If it weren't for the elves coming to get me, I would still be in the monolith or dead!" Colette complained, her face with a cute but angry smile.
"Hmph... just because you won... I won't see you as an adult..." Garnet looked at him, her attitude slightly coy, before turning away, her dark red scales as if her entire body was betraying her and blushing.
"Who are these two ladies?" Evelyn asked, her face twitching as she believed this bastard somehow got more women each time he left for the toilet!
"These are two cute dragons and my future brides."
"Hehe~ future bride." Colette blushed.
"Tsk, who is your bride? Even if you were a little cool..." Garnet snubbed him, her tail swaying along the black ground, making dust scatter.
'Veronica...'
He felt her suddenly moving away rapidly; it wasn't a demon pulling her to safety, but before he could lock onto her position, something like a brilliant light blocked his connection temporarily as she left Berlia.
Zell was about to address the women about the plans because, leading up to this moment, his cute pets were preparing a mass relocation; most of the women he contacted or spent time with had already been collected or gathered near his former base and home.
'Alice seems to have fled or rather... She's with Veronica, so Astra pulled her to safety... What a strange girl. This place is about to be destroyed anyway...'
"Girls..."
The moment before he could continue, the planet's horrific cries filled the world; this time, it was not demons nor divines... It was the end, another planet... was slowly devouring Asteria...
They would become the new Asteria, and she would be gone forever.
The world skipped the second merger as three moons began to fill the sky, a sense of aura and magical power suddenly spurting from the planet's core, filling the world as the ground trembled, cracked and prepared for the growth of the world.
Zell didn't fuck around; his mouth opened wide, and he shouted three names; this was nothing to do with his affection or love.
These were the women who were always connected to him, ready to initiate any emergency plans, Yinfra was also connected, but was in charge of the women and friends who migrated to his area.
"Rika!"
"Cynthia!"
"Nora!"
"DO IT NOW! QUICKLY!"
A pillar of light burst from the ground. A column of water, ice and magma erupted from the ocean, sending billions of tons of liquid into the air as the entire mountain range was blasted apart in a single blast, melting the ice, breaking the magma and creating a massive tidal wave that washed over the planet, destroying everything in its path.
"GO!"
His eyes and body erupted into a flash of brilliant flame before a huge white gate formed with the symbol of a Dragon, Feline, Badger and Squirrel, the old badge that Zell used in his life.
Evelyn's eyes widened as she saw the four symbols and a gate with technology far beyond her own!
"You bastard... I am going to kill you..." She muttered as they entered the gateway together moments later.
Germanica vanished from the map, replaced by a wild desert and jungle filled with rabid monsters and mystical Arabian and strange cities.
Thus began the third merger.
Nora stood upon the edge of a large cliff, gazing down over the village, fox girls, werewolves, vampires, wolves, and succubi all rushing around the small village with thick wooden walls; she lifted her black-rimmed glasses as she felt the trembling of the mana around her.
"He's coming home..."
'Now... where shall we begin?'
She hummed as Cynthia, Edelgard, and Elizabeth followed her, with Rika beside her.
"I wonder... who he brought along? Reincarnated friends from his former life? Or just his wives? We've collected most of the women he's slept with; this village could be said to be his harem... Haha~ I love our wonderful Master!"
She narrowed her eyes as she glanced at the women, seeing them all in various states of undress, some wearing dresses, others half-naked, none of which mattered.
"Whatever it is, let's meet him."
They nodded in turn as they watched the white gate materialise in the centre of their village, all kneeling from the wolves to Rika; every female knelt, awaiting his body entering through those gates.
