Chapter 260:

I took a deep breath as I watched the body of Mephisto’s avatar fall into the empty streets below. Taking his head off had been surprisingly cathartic. I took one last look at the Asauchi in my right hand before storing it in my inventory. I would need to get a proper sheathe for it later.

[You’ve really come a long way, host. You beat Mephisto with almost no effort!]

I chuckled at the System’s enthusiasm. “That’s not quite true. I put a lot of effort into my acting. From the start of that fight I had to make it seem like he was much stronger than me. I needed him to think he could beat me without going all out.” I explained. We were fighting in the heart of New York City after all. There were millions of people nearby that would have been caught up in the crossfire if Mephisto and I started throwing out devastatingly powerful attacks at each other.

[You did good work regardless. Here’s your reward!]

{Congratulations! You have leveled up x3! You have reached level 100! On top of Free Stat Points, every Stat will now increase by 100 every time you level up!}

{You have been rewarded with the Ultimate Skill–Lustful Queen!}

{Lustful Queen: You can drain the energy of anyone you touch and convert it into any type of energy you desire. This ability is 1000x more effective when performed during sexual intercourse. You will also receive random Stat Point Increases after every “session.”}

By the time I finished reading, my smile had turned into a deadpan...

My new Ultimate Skill was seriously called Lustful Queen? “...Really, System?”

[You have to admit that it fits you. You now have a way to quickly replace the Faith Energy you’ve lost. You can also get stronger now just by...you know...doing the one thing you really enjoy and do almost every night with your Harem.]

“So...My Ultimate Skill is basically just a more powerful and lewder version of Vali’s Divine Dividing?” I asked bluntly. That’s kind of what it felt like to me.

[Kind of... yeah. Divine Dividing isn’t permanent though. Vali loses his buffs over time but you don't!]

I was still a bit skeptical, but I figured I would withhold my judgment until I could properly test out the ability. I saw a Level 14 Imp flying in the sky nearby. It must have been extra stupid to not flee immediately like the rest of the nearby demons did when Mephisto and I started our fight a few minutes ago.

I flashed over towards the Imp and grabbed it by the throat. The demon’s eyes widened in fear when it realized it was caught. “Gaaah! M–Mercy...” it begged me while trying to scratch my arms with its claws. Of course, it was too weak to even leave marks on my perfect skin.

“Not a chance.” I replied and tightened my squeeze around its throat. I activated Lustful Queen and started draining every speck of the foul creature's Demonic Power. The demon’s red skin quickly started to turn black as I literally drained the life out of him.

{+1358 Faith Energy!}

Huh, not bad.

“That’s actually pretty useful.” I said to myself as the Imp crumbled to ash in my grip. I didn’t feel a trace of its foul Demonic Energy at all. All I felt was pure Faith Energy flowing into me. If this skill was 1000 times more effective in the bedroom, then I could regain a huge portion of my reserves in only a week or so! I would obviously have to be careful not to take too much power from my lovers, but if there was one thing they all had in common it was that they all had plenty of power to spare!

A lewd giggle escaped my lips...

“What are you laughing about?” a voice asked curiously from behind me.

“Eeep!” I quickly spun around. Carol was hovering right next to me. I had been a bit distracted and didn't sense her approach. Carol was covered in Demon blood, but she still looked absolutely radiant. I loved women who were strong and beautiful.

Carol turned her head to the side to hide her blush. I realized I had actually just said all of that out loud. “Thank you for the compliment...I think you’re quite beautiful as well. I really enjoyed our date... Up until the forces of Hell decided to show up and ruin it.”

“I'm really sorry about that. I would tell you this doesn't happen to me often, but that would honestly be a lie. Crazy stuff like this happens to me all the time,” I said.

Carol smiled at me and laughed. “You’re certainly not the only one.”

“I guess that’s true. You’ll have to tell me more stories of your adventures in space on our next date,” I told her with a wink.

Such as reprimanding my daughter and niece who were currently hiding behind the door to our left...

“I know you’re there, Heather and Asia. Would you mind explaining to me why the two of you happen to be at ground zero during a Demonic invasion?” I called out to them both.

The door slowly opened. Heather and Asia both sheepishly walked out. “H–Hey mom, what a coincidence? What are you doing here?” Heather asked me. She was trying to be nonchalant, but I knew that she knew that she was in trouble...

I appreciated the two of them trying to help, but they were both only two winged Angels. Heather might be on the verge of evolving into a four winged Fallen Angel, but she wasn’t quite there yet. They both could have easily died here. If Mephisto had emerged before I’d arrived, then he would have absolutely recognized Heather and taken her hostage to use against me.

And then there was Asia. She was a “pure” Angel. Mephisto wouldn’t have hesitated in trying to break her just for the fun of it. She would have been powerless to stop him as well.

It was harsh, but I explained all of this to both of them. Carol was next to me nodding along with my explanation.

“I'm sorry...” Asia said with tears in her eyes. “I just wanted to help, John. I’d never seen someone who had endured so much pain and was still so nice. He saved a bunch of people.” Asia told us.

“I only really realized I was out of my league once we reached this building,” Heather added as well. She understood she could have died here. “It was easy taking out a handful of Imps, but the Hellhounds and larger Demons were a lot scarier. If John wasn’t with us we would have been in trouble. I'm pretty sure he saved us like a bunch of times!” Heather finished.

“Is John the Doom Slayer’s name?” I asked and they both nodded. Huh...he had the same name as the Master Chief. That was just lazy writing in my opinion, but it was what it was. “Where is he now?” I asked while looking around the rooftop. I didn’t see him or Jezebel. Also, I feel like someone else was missing as well.

“He beat up the evil Demon lady and then he leapt inside the portal to Hell!” Heather said while pointing above our heads. The green portal was still going strong, but no more demons had emerged from it for a while now. Was the Doom Slayer waging a one man war against them in their own dimension. Was that why they stopped coming through!? I thought it was because I took down Mephisto, but maybe that wasn’t the case.

[Fuck yeah he is!]

“He took Jezebel with him. He wants to shut down the portal from the other side,” Asia explained. They were hiding behind the door while the Doom Slayer fought Mephisto’s daughter in an epic one on one battle.

“I don’t know who this Doom Slayer is. Should we follow after him and help?” Carol asked me. She was justifiably concerned, but I waved her off.

“Nah, I'm sure he'll be fine. Mephisto and Jezebel are both out of commission. He’s probably raising all kinds of hell...in Hell,” I said with a smirk.

“Booo!” Heather scrunched her face and booed at my “Mom joke.”

“Miss Layla...that was bad.” Even Asia tried to criticize me.

I ignored the teenagers' opinions though because I managed to make Carol laugh. “Why don’t we all head back home for now. I’ll leave a Shadow Clone here to keep an eye on the portal and wait for John to return,” I suggested to everyone. They all thought that sounded like a good idea as well. I turned around to grab Reed Richards so we could leave.

I paused...

Standing next to the tied up Reed Richards...were TWO other Reed Richards. They looked slightly different in outfit and appearance, but their faces were damn near identical to the tied up man in between them both. They had both popped out of nowhere!

“What. The. Fuck?” I asked out loud.

“You are not worthy to pass Judgment on this man! The Council of Reeds will not allow inferior minds to ever stand above one of our own!” One of the Reeds said to me condescendingly.

“We will return in the future to pass judgment on you all!” the other Reed added, just as condescending as the first. Except, this one was also glaring at all of us lecherously...

A split second later, a portal popped up behind them. The two of them dragged my Universes Reed through the portal with them. I probably could have stopped them, but I was completely caught off guard by the absurdity of what I had just witnessed.

“Did I just get talked down to by two Rick and Morty knock offs!?” I huffed indignantly.

[Technically Rick and Morty was parodying the Council of Reeds...]

‘I don't care. This Council is now on my shit list.’
