.Trivia of the day #37: The range of Asmodeus's time stops if put into actual perspective, then you can say it's multiversal, he is affecting every story within the Akashina universe, as Asmodeus is the one doing the writing, for example, the worlds of other MCs such as Loki from my other work called "Darwin", and Gilgamesh from "I was reincarnated into a Yandere Otome game as a side character", this ability cannot be stopped once activated till Asmodeus himself cut it off, or time runs out, although they are certain people capable of moving within his time stop, due to their abilities.
_______________
Rize looks at Necroma with a puzzled look, as she slowly turns to Asmodeus and asks.
"Am... What exactly are you even planning to do?"
The question was simple and direct, of course, Asmodeus replied, to Rize trying his best not to disappoint and deliver a satisfactory answer to her with a short explanation, as he said with a neutral tone as if stating the obvious.
"It's simple, the only way to cancel out the carnivorous effect of your ability, and restore some order to your life, is by providing you with enough nourishment so your body doesn't revert."
A simple explanation for a simple answer.
The silence between the two returns once more as Rize process the information, however soon enough she responded with yet another question.
"I get that, however, what are you even planning on doing to resolve the issue?"
Asked Rize with a confused and slightly worried expression plastered on her face, however the answer she got from Asmodeus kind of shocked her a little, as he said.
"I plan of making us one."
"Ha... Making us one... As a fusion of you and me...
Her reaction was indeed a given, the mere thought of fusion was odd and unexpected in a situation like this, if not completely unorthodox, Asmodeus saw the obvious confusion plastered clearly on her face, and began to explain what he meant to make her understand.
As he said.
"What I mean is that I am going to make Necroma here cut me up like a pig in a slaughterhouse, and make her prepare a meal out of flesh for you to eat."
"..."
"..."
"..."
This puzzled Rize, so much so, she had to call Asmodeus out and say.
"For what reason though, don't tell me this was another one of your weird fetishes?"
Ask Rize who was completely lost by Asmodeu's actions.
To which Asmodeus replied once again, this time going into greater detail about his plans, even starting by calling out the flaws in Rize's ability.
"The problem is that your body is like a sponge, it soaks everything that is absorbed and burns it out very quickly, now when you eat, you take away nutrients, vitality, and even energy from your victim's body to fuel that sponge, once accumulated enough, it can revert you to your original form."
"However that's not the main goal of this action, instead when you eat the flesh of someone, you copy both their forms, race, and also a single ability from them."
"Now by eating my flesh that is extremely high in nutrients, even being rich in quality, you will have enough energy to revert to your original form."
...
...
...
Once again this puzzle Rize, she understood the inhumane method, but again something like this would cause Asmodeus great pain, and as if seeing her distress the person who speak up this time was none other than Necroma, who would have the pleasure of doing the cutting as she said.
"Don't think too much about it, the guy is like a ball of indestructible slime, you can't kill him much less hurt him without dire consequences, however, you need flesh that is high in nutrients, so once I cut an amount flesh off I will prepare a warm and delicious bowl of Asmodeus soup for you, and if all goes well, a single serving will revert you to your original form, the only thing is, you will need to eat this soup once every seven days."
Asmodeus then add more explanation to Necroma's words as he said.
"Just trust me, the procedure is very simple, and direct, although humans are your main source of food, they are too weak to sustain you, take my new diet, and you will be stronger than you have ever been before."
"Do you even hear yourself, we are talking about cooking your flesh, you know."
"Yeah... So what about it."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Yet again everyone went silent at Asmodeus's statement, seeing this he replied, with a casual tone completely unbothered by his proposal.
"Look you don't have to worry about it, this is simply business and mutual benefit, as you are right now you are both a liability and easy prey for others, so just take my offer so we can fix you up."
Rize at this point and time saw no reason why not to take it, so she just said. I
"Fine, do as you will."
With that said, Asmodeus looks at Necroma and said.
"Alright, you can start cutting now, although, what parts exactly are you going to from me."
Necroma smile with great joy for her reason as he took out a sharp knife, and replied as such.
"Let's start today with a small chunk of flesh from your leg."
However, to Necroma's disappointment, Asmodeus showed no sign of fear or hesitation at all, the guy's smile was unfazed as if he wasn't bothered by this inhuman method of cannibalism.
Asmodeus look at Necroma and said.
"Good idea, the upper legs do have a lot of flesh for the taking, very well then started cutting, and don't worry I will control my body so I don't get blood all over the place."
So with that said Necroma brought a large iron bowl, as she sharpens the knives and utensils she created with Alchemy for the procedure, Asmodeus undid a portion of his clothes to make the cutting easier, even going far as to weaken his durability to absolute weakest state.
And then.
--Stabb!--
--Slice!--
The sound of Necroma stabbing, skinning, and carving, out Asmodeus's flesh into chunks of eatables meat for Rize to eat, could be heard loud and clear.
Meanwhile, Rize look at this and said.
"I have felt worse things than what you are currently experiencing, however, I must say, pain is pain, and that must be excruciating, especially since she doing this so slowly."
Said Rize as she watches Necroma continue to slice apart his leg filling the entire bowl of meat, however, Asmodeus's reaction was neutral as he said.
"Egh... Mid at best."
From there everyone went silent once more and after about ten minutes, of cutting the flesh of Asmodeus and peeling off the bone, Necroma left the room, as she prepared to make a delicious meal for Rize.
And as soon as she closes the door behind her, Asmodeus began to regenerate his wounds at a rapid speed as he look at a slightly deserve Rize.
As she said.
"You are just built differently."
"Oh thank you."
"That wasn't a compliment."
"In my world, it is, however, I will take some time before Necroma, don't prepare your meal, so why don't we talk about the contract and the plans I have."
"Ok... Fill me in, what exactly are you planning to do?"
Asked Rize with a curious gaze, as he looks back at her with equal seriousness and said.
"Rize what do you think of Pyyrah's rules, and ways of doing things?"
"What's up with you and Pyyrah, honestly, this is the third time today I heard that woman's name coming from your mouth?"
Announce Rize with a questioning tone, to which Asmodeus answered his honest thoughts.
"I don't like her, even though I have never met her, and what's even worse she behaves like she has the right to control the monster community, because of her status and bullshit powers, honestly I have never felt the urge to snap someone else neck more than I do now."
"I get you, I won't lie, she is kind of annoying and bothersome, if not completely infuriating at times, she has rules and regulations that she forcefully put on us monsters to protect humanity, my guess is you don't like her as a ruling body."
Question Rize.
"Of course, I don't like her, nor will I approve of her I am going to crush that woman's rule and have her mutilated body on a stake for all to see, however, I want to make my monster community."
Upon saying this, Rize opens her eyes wide to my last statement as she said.
"Make your monster community, and how do you plan on doing that."
The answer she got from Asmodeus however was as chaotic as it sounds, as he says.
"Simple terraform different planets within the multiverse."
It didn't take Rize too long to figure out what Asmodeus wanted to do, and how he plans to do this, seeing that this was a plan she had herself years back, seeing that her ability to cross dimensions, gave her a massive opportunity.
However, there was one major problem with such an idea and that was.
"You are aware of the number of planets within the multiverse lack many nesecsrey elements and factors to harbor life right, for example, this planet that we are on is similar to earth although far bigger, and also the gravity is far stronger as well, my point is to do what you want to do on a multiversal scale will demand a lot of power to create a habitable zone for a planet to prosper."
Asmodeus was well aware of that, however, he can indeed pull off what Rize sees as impossible, as he says to her.
"I can create artificial planets and celestial bodies with ease, in the end, this universe is just nature."
To be continued.
