Chapter 402: Perfect Lifeform *
Watching five women who lay beside him, exhausted, without a single fabric on their bodies, Riser knew that someone must say that he had fallen. He had indulged himself in the pleasure and forgot what he needed to do, and he was like those emperors who spent all of their days on women and sex.
Yet, they were wrong.
If they thought he indulged himself, they would be under a great misunderstanding as he was trying to become stronger.
Unlike others, sleeping with beautiful women gave him a great reward, so while others thought that he had fallen, the truth was that he was trying to become stronger. While he couldn't deny that he loved the process, everything was necessary for him to get stronger. He definitely didn't do it just because he was lustful toward the two reincarnated angels that had been following him and Gabriel.
Yet, Marina aside, his indifference quickly took a sharp turn when he heard Griselda's identity from Xenovia.
Yes, this girl was, without a doubt, idiotic, and he was afraid that in the future, the children that were born between them would create a musclehead who was thinking about sex and power all the time.
"...."
Somehow, Riser could imagine that their children might become like that. Still, even so, he didn't think that their children would be bad children.
Or, probably, their children would?
However, Riser hoped that his children would be normal.
Still, even if Xenovia was quite idiotic, she knew how to tickle his desire like Kuroka, especially when she told him that Griselda was her guardian or her mother. They might not be a parent and children biologically, but the two of them treated each other like a parent andchildren.
Still, Riser wasn't sure whether Xenovia was a good daughter or not, as she could even send someone who she had always thought was her mother to his bed.
Yet, he had to say, it was so damn exciting.
The memory of their exchange still lingered in his mind, but at this moment, he decided to focus on getting stronger as the day was near.
[Congratulations, you have received "Soru Soru no Mi (Complete Version)."]
As expected, like before, he got rewards and abilities from a certain work that he knew in his previous life. This wasn't his first time to obtain this type of reward, so he could accept it easily. Yet, he had to say this reward helped him greatly, and with this, he had become perfect.
Soru Soru no Mi, or Soul Soul Fruit, was a Devil Fruit that gave him the ability to control the soul.
Was it powerful?
Naturally.
Yet, it wasn't that omnipotent either. Still, the reason why he liked this ability was because it made it truly impossible for him to die.
It was also why Meredith, who was sleeping naked, could become the queen of England.
While Riser was in his own thoughts, Xenovia smiled as she thought that she was glad to meet him. If it wasn't because of him, then would she be able to achieve all of this?
She could have a happy life, do something that she couldn't do before, meet her parent-like figure without worry, and even know the feeling known as love.
Yes, she had fallen for him.
Sometimes, she wanted to steal him away from her master, Sona.
Yet, she knew her status well, and she was okay as his lover.
Yes, as expected, being his lover was great, and she also couldn't wait to see their future together.
To those who wanted to destroy their future, Xenovia was going to fight them.
"By the way, Riser-sama, do you want to visit the school? There are a lot of cute girls, you know?"
"...."
Riser looked at Xenovia, speechless, then took the pants that he had been pulled by everyone before. "I need to go somewhere first."
"Huh? Where?"
"Just a little job. You go back. Sona must be mad at you."
"..." Xenovia.
While Xenovia begged that she didn't want to go back, Riser ignored her since he had something more important to do. Saying goodbye to the angels, he returned to the Underworld, taking the body of Diehauser and devouring it, which gave him the ability of "Worthless," before he went to Ophis, who quickly jumped into him when she saw him.
"You have become much, much stronger." Ophis looked at him with her usual blank expression.
"Right?"
"..." Ophis.
Riser smiled as he patted Ophis's head. "By the way, Ophis, can you accompany me for a while?"
"Hm?"
