Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Even though it was not our intention, we discussed everything we needed in less than a second. What else were we supposed to do? I wanted the girls to rest. But it seems that, like many people, their definition of rest differed from the norm.

For some, rest meant lying down and watching a movie. Others could only relax in the presence of absolute silence with a good book. But just as many relax by sweating out their stress through exercise or chores. My girls and I had different definitions.

I wanted them to lie down and sleep. They relaxed by having sex. Aki, Robyn, Jo, and Bella all wanted to be intimate with me. Their links told me how much they longed for me. And how much they were afraid that I would leave.

Unlike Earth or the first 10 floors of Hellsgate, my destination was beyond dangerous. It was not a place they could just follow without preparation. While I knew nothing about the floor, the target, or our route to the destination, those in my party did.

Leo and Nyda had probably been preparing for years. Nyda and Evelyn seemed very close. Not many would waste four years of their lives on what could easily be a hopeless task. So I knew instinctively that they would have used the time to map out the route bit by bit.

They never even doubted that they couldn't take a skybeam directly to the 32nd floor. As if they knew that such a tactic would lead to an ambush.

Moreover, they even knew how long the journey would be. Based on those two factors alone, I am sure they have already done everything they could.

Lilly, Liv and Jas came to the same conclusion. So they were not particularly worried about our trip. Lilly and Jas were of course very smart people. While Liv was a warrior with excellent fighting instincts.

But just because the preparations had been made didn't mean that everything would be perfect. Usually, plans only mattered until the shit hit the fan. After that, training, instinct and luck would take over. And my girls were terrified that I would be in danger.

And unlike before, the Sirens in the Anvil group wouldn't be able to help me. So their fear manifested itself in a need for warmth and affection.

I could understand why. It was as if your lover was moving to another country. You had bonds, but they were at the mercy of what fate had in store.

Many are unable to withstand the supreme forces of time and distance. I understood that feeling very well. Probably because I felt the same way.

'I mean, how could I not?'

With my departure to the 32nd floor, I was leaving my home to the whims of fate. There were three separate continents that wanted to fight with me.

And while David and Zach were telling me that the attacks would come in three months, there was literally nothing to say that the opposite was not true.

The facts I had were that all the battle fronts were arming their Formless reapers. Now that David had broken the armistice that had kept the peace, we were headed for war.

And this while the battlefronts were all playing mind games with each other. If the invasions happened while I was gone.

Who could stop them?

David made one thing very clear. He was cutting this whole floor off from his domain. While we were no longer bound by his will, but that also meant we were no longer under his protection.

The situation of Gareth and the Phantoms here was the best proof. David Thomas the Invincible did not care if they lived or died. According to the knight, David's men withdrew and stopped supporting them the moment I won the war.

It was clear they were waiting to see what I would do. If we failed to subdue the Alpha, we would all die here.

And If we managed to kill the Alpha but could not deal with the malevolence, we would all have our souls collapse instead.

David was using me as a guinea pig. And I fully believe that if I died, he would come here and turn me into a Soulgear.

He did not need me. He just needed my ability. What the Revenant needed was a tool, not a person. While history and fiction meant such words metaphorically, here it was literal.

And similar to me, Lilly cut all ties with her father. So just like me, the wannabe superhero no longer cared if she lived or died.

'What must be going through that fucker's mind. How could he even bear to abandon Lilly, his own flesh and blood?

My {Kindred} did everything she could to be a good heir for David. Yet none of it mattered.

Was it because he barely knew both Lilly and her mother? According to my princess, she was adopted by the Brownings after David's real family was annihilated.

And since he was a Revenant, much like a Specter, he must no longer remember any of them.

If I was in his shoes and a child came to my door and said she was my daughter, I would speak to her mother first. But what if you couldn't, and what if you didn't even remember the mother or the time you spent with her?

'Would I experience that one day?' I worried.

If the Sirens died. Would I be able to love our children? How would people convince me that the child was mine? Would I even be able to remember the act of making the child? Such a situation would be like getting someone pregnant while drunk.

Such realities were already capable of driving me crazy with worry. And I was a stupid motherfucker. My girls, who were much smarter than me, obviously had it worse.

No one said anything, but I could feel the fear and anxiety radiating from my girls. Nothing was worse than not being able to do anything when your loved ones were in danger.

For most, it was unacceptable to just sit back and watch the world collapse. People would act to stop it. People would think of ways to solve the problem. That was what the human mind was capable of.

'And that is why people worry.'

Aki, Robyn, Jo and Bella would be separated from me. A few days at best. If the worst came to the worst, those might be the last moments we had together. The four of them would be the ones on the Anvil team. That means they would play defense.

Jas, Liv and Lilly would be with me. If we died, at least we would be together. The Anvil team would not be. They were not yet Specters, so they would at least remember to wait for my return.

'Though for some, that can be a curse. Perhaps forgetting the dead is the next best thing.'

The girls of the Hammer team were equally worried, but not as desperate. After all, I would be within their reach. But like animals that know their end is near, they too sought me out lustfully, all save one.

***

Lilly pulled me into a corner of the room and waited. Funnily enough, while Bella was open in her desire to be dominated by me. This woman wanted to pretend she didn't mind. Only, she practically dreamed of being pushed down.

Her {Kindred} link was the same. It had a hint of annoyance and was overflowing with what I could only describe as eagerness. No, that was not right. It was more like anticipation. I also noticed that Lilly had her eyes on the rest of the Sirens.

Wanting to experience such carnal desires, she wanted nothing more than to pretend to resist, only to be overpowered. I once read that if men's books tended to be about harems and adventures, women's romances were often about billionaires, werewolves, and vampires.

What all three had in common was that the male leads were "beasts" who devoured the female leads. And the she would drown in their tyranny while taming these men. That was what women thrived on. And Lilly, whose brain was addicted to smut, was the same.

When I did nothing, she made an unhappy face. The others and I were already getting down to business. But the two of us just stood there. Lilly finally pouted while her link began to heat up from irritation. She would probably have a fit if I waited any longer.
