Chapter 183: The Machine – Part 2
"Wolfy, didn't you eat a Titan whole?" Yunia suddenly questions me through [Bind] as I approach the [Eternal Gate] Network.
"Yeah, I did. Why?" I curiously hum back.
And then she seriously requests, "Can you try to puke it out? You may have eaten a 'grenade.'"
Oh, boy...
This might be unpleasant, but it'll only enhance my reunion with my women back home. I know I have to be brief, but the death of two Companions has hurt my heart, and I need a bit of pampering.
Then I'll bring back our toys so that Lina and Aoi can finally begin building our industry of war.
So... there was a grenade in my stomach, and it was starting to dissolve already, but we aren't sure how explosions work inside a magical stomach like that of my draconic form, and we also don't know if it'll explode. But we don't want to take any unnecessary risks, so we have Aoi puke out her titan too and remove its grenades, and then we attempt to forget the sight of her eating it again.
As for the items we recovered, just a simple [Clean] is enough, but Ciel casts five before she'll touch any of them. Then I make a bit of an effort and summon a spirit elemental-wife so that they can inspect the items without dismantling them. Also, I remember to make the elemental takes Hukarere's form to compensate for the time it came out as Kaatohe, but maybe I should make the next one look like Nono, as that might prevent any rivalries between my Chimera cat and dog.
Anyway, after that, I make a quick visit home.
"Your Highness!" the maids playfully greet me, then suffocate me with their bare breasts. This must be Osaria's prank to purposely arouse me... or maybe she just wants to comfort me after the loss of the Companions.
Either way, I'm hard and happy.
Kai, the "smooth blend" deer Chimera that recently became a maid, is also present, and I still haven't fully memorized her pussy, so the touch of her nice tits on my face makes my Cock throb in desire.
But I'm still angry at the titans, and the lives of our men depend on how fast we can do this, so I really don't want to spend the rest of my afternoon Ravaging these women.
Still, my heart hurts, and this is healing it, so I close my eyes and deeply breathe in their scents as I rub my face on their breasts for a minute. Today has been a hard day.
"What exciting experiment will you perform this time?" Osaria eagerly asks.
First, I motorboat her, then I lift my head from her tits and happily answer, "There won't be an experiment, actually, but we will create something new that will change the world."
But she gives me an amused stare. "I believe you've already done that with the Edict to include monsters in the Sin of Sadistic Torture."
And I grin evilly in excitement as my imagination starts to go wild. "Oh... but this... this... this will change warfare forever. And we'll use those fucking 'titans' as target practice. We'll slaughter-...!" Then my words die in my throat as the human pulls on the dragon's dog collar.
This is wrong.
Then Osaria gives me a confused look as my expression freezes.
This bloodthirsty man isn't me.
And an uncomfortable chill of shame starts to run down my spine.
I don't fight because I like it. I kill because I have to. And the Titans have forced me to because their very existence is cursed.
So I let out a long sigh and close my eyes as the stress starts to leave my body. I also sense Poosh approaching, but now I'm feeling too timid to greet her.
So I focus on the truth and finish my speech, "The Titans are very hard to kill... but we'll end this. Our soldiers will turn into specters of death as they kill anything within sight."
"Your mood suddenly became very grim," Poosh concernedly points out.
And the human relinquishes control, allowing the weredragon to take over and give a sober answer, "It's because I'm not looking forward to the violence. I just want to protect my people and save the Sky Landers from this calamity."
But it seems like my tone is still bad enough that they decide to give me a breast-heavy hug. Not complaining, though.
I can't stay here for long, especially with the danger of Osaria teasing me into Ravaging her, and there's also Klein, Nono, and Thea that could send me into a frenzy, so I just get the toys, then make a quick stop by the Institute and have a little talk with Whakan.
"I need a copy of the plans for the latest prototype," I promptly request.
"Yes... certainly, Your Highness... but may I ask what for?" the bald, gray, lizard-fish-hybrid-something Chimera hesitantly questions.
And I flash a confident smile. "Field testing. We'll use it in a war."
He opens his lizard-fish-whatever eyes wide, and his pointy little teeth peek out from under his lips, but then he controls himself and composedly cautions me, "There are issues with pushing the Raki near the speed of sound. The plane might break apart during flight because of them."
I nod and hum in understanding, "Yes, that much speed is still unnecessary, but we can magically reinforce things if we really do need to go that fast."
"Please do reinforce it, even if you don't plan on reaching such speeds," he stiffly agrees. I won't blame him if we mess up the prototype, but I understand why he fears we might do so.
But lucky for us, we have the best enchanters of the Realm at our beck and call.
Then I finally meet Brett at the entrance to the Network.
"Thank you for calling for me, Your Highness," the big Shiba weredog greets with a polite bow.
And I almost stare at him for a moment too long because he just looks so huggable. "Things have become dangerous, so I want someone reliable like you to accompany us," I calmly answer.
His ears perk up at my praise, and my trained eye easily spots the subtle sway of his hips as his tail attempts to break free from under his clothes. "My therapy is done, so I believe I'm ready to fight monsters again," he confidently states.
And I nod with a gentle smile. "That's good. These Titans are quite brutal, so talk to us, especially Ciel, if you start to lose control again."
He awkwardly stiffens at my suggestion, but still obediently replies, "I will, Your Highness..."
So I order, "Now, let's go."
I leave home feeling like I left my heart there, but I have the wives to help get through this spell of gloom that has taken over me, and we do need to comfort each other because I'm not the only one hurting after the death of two Companions.
"It is," Lina agrees.
And I can't take my eyes off it. It's shiny, smooth, and truly... truly perfect.
This is it. We've finished the first precision-machined piece of this Realm... made by my human hands.
I inhale deeply, but my breath trembles and a new emotion flares up within my heart.
"What...?" I whisper confusedly, and everyone starts looking inside my mind, curious about what's going on.
It's like... there's a little ball of pure happiness inside my heart, but I can feel that it isn't mine, the ball, I mean, not the heart. It's like a little sun of love has appeared inside me, and it's spreading its arms.
Wolfy rushes over to me, but Ciel stops him because this sensation is familiar to her. It's breathtaking, magnificent, and awe-inspiring, but there's only one kind of person in this Realm that has such a presence.
It's a God, and they're here to congratulate me.
Then a rush of information suddenly enters my mind, and I clutch my head in pain, but the God is here to help me through this, and their presence eases the pain.
It quickly ends, and I feel a pair of arms give me a brief hug from behind before leaving me. Then Wolfy hugs me and helps me stand up.
I open my mouth to speak, but then I feel a new sensation, though it's also familiar to me as I've felt it many times before through our connection.
So I open my "Status" and see...

I've also been blessed by the God of Endurance, and my "Piety" has increased by 3 (now 12).
"I did it... I've fully converted!" I exclaim and look around. Then everyone tackles me because Wolfy has ordered a group hug.
Intermission end.
