Limitless The Strongest Revenant

'Yes, but I will show it to you later. I actually got the idea from the Avenger movies. The girls made me binge watch them when we were in Japan.'

Just as I was about to answer, Liv frowned as if she remembered something.

'Beloved, I also have one other matter, I wanted to discuss with you.'

Feeling the emotions of fear, sadness and confusion, baby Liv bit her lip as she continued.

'My love. The girls and I have decided to partially release the {Seal of Seven}. This is so that once we give Leo and Nyda {Call my name}, we will have a way to kill them instantly. Jas, Jo and Aki think that Nyda might be a vampire spy.'

That. That was dark. It slipped my mind that vampires were portrayed as smart as hell. I was so used to fighting mindless zombies that I forgot that they would not be the only thing I had to deal with.

Much like the sentient monsters I fought on my first night. Smart bastards were scarier than tough bastards. I remembered my fourth dirge siren.

It was the one where I met Isolde Drache. The difference between the enemies that could think and those that could not was like night and day. She would have died if I hadn't come.

Grateful for my harem. I stroked Liv's head in appreciation.

'Thank you, Liv. I had not considered such a possibility, you are right.'

'It's not just me, my love. Please remember to thank the others as well. Even though I disagree with them. Your life is not something I want to put at risk. If there is even the slightest possibility that Nyda and her {Kindred} are our enemy, Lilly, Bella, and I will unlock {Kill Switch} for you.'

Which meant that afterwards, I was free to kill them all.

Those were the cold and ruthless words of my women. Surely, {Kill Switch} would give us some insurance against betrayal. Nothing was harder than having to fight an enemy and your former allies at the same time.

I nodded my head in silence. When Liv saw that I was no longer upset by her words, she placed her tiny hand on my cheek again.

'Beloved, Aki, Robyn, Jo and Bella have already given their consent. Until you return to the 24th floor. Four of the seven keys that lock the {Seal of Seven} will be opened. The girls of Anvil have only one request in exchange.'

Even though Liv didn't say it, the implications of her words lead to only one result.

Kill everyone and everything as needed. All so I could return home.

My {Vassals} would be different, of course. I will take Delroy and Pixie along with the pair of adventurers. But I was sure that they were one and the same to the girls.

The Sirens, like me, did not believe in the inherent goodness of humanity. We would much rather be proven wrong. But alas, that is not the usual case for the people of Hellsgate.

Hellsend seemed to be an exception, but who knows how long that will last. It only takes one man to turn a situation south.

The US. The military even had an acronym for it. FUBAR or "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition".

Being able to think that way was not for everyone. But it certainly allows us to prepare for future problems. As I began to contemplate, Liv sent positive emotions again.

My thoughts began to wrap around the consequences of such a betrayal, so her efforts to calm me down helped greatly. Leo and Nyda were already powerful. But this would be a good insurance policy to check if the Adventure couple were who they said they were.

Since I had the feeling that the Sirens' decision had been thoroughly deliberated, I simply agreed.

After all. Although I would already have four of the seven seals lifted, I still wouldn't be able to use the {Kill Switch}. This meant that if Lilly, Liv, and Jas did not give their consent, my {Kismet} would be nothing more than a waste of space.

'I see. Thank you for telling me. Who made the decision to get everyone's approval first?'

Baby Liv frowned as she replied.

'It was I. The thought that we might not make it back made me very uneasy. Unlike in my youth, I have a home now. One I can call my own. I have never been so afraid, my love. Would you happen to know why?'

The Northerner's question reminded me of Roland Winchester's words.

"John Smith, unlike when you died as a human. You have much to lose now. I can see it in your eyes. The emptiness has been replaced by many things. Love, pride, contentment, happiness. Do you want to go on knowing that you might lose them?"

Liv was much like me in this respect. Unlike when she was isolated from her family, she was no longer alone.

If before she had been mocked for looking like an orc, now I admired her beauty every chance I got. And I told her so in word and action. Her fear probably stemmed from terror at losing the things that gave her happiness.

'This is because you have much to lose now, Liv. They say that most people only see the value of something when it is gone, or when they never had it in the first place. Now that you are happy it is natural to fear losing them,' I explained.

'I see. That is terrifying. How do you deal with the fear and the uncertainty, my love?'

I kissed her head as I answered.

'I try to remember that while there is a chance of losing what I value, if I do nothing, I forgo the future where they still exist. We all have to make our own choices Liv, and you have made yours. Even if it comes at the expense of Leo and Nyda.'

'I see. You are wise, my love. As I ponder your words. I find it true. To protect our family, I am willing to trample on my own ideals. I wonder if this is a good thing?

I really am such a horrible person. And this is what I do after you praised me for my moral virtue.'

Hugging Liv tighter, I comforted her in all the ways I knew how.

'Don't worry, Liv. I do not think less of you. In fact, I just love you more. I will see to it that your choice is not wasted. No matter what happens, I, no we, will come back to our home. I swear it on my {Fate}.'

Liv nodded as she kissed my cheek gently.

'I am the same beloved. If your survival is at stake, there is no evil I will not do. So please make sure you never leave me behind. And that if ever we must die. We die together.'

'I promise.'

The two of us just continued to bask in each other's warmth. Which was the complete opposite of the other people in the room. Some of my girls were climaxing while the others were panting heavily from exhaustion.

That was until we received a message. It was the one we had both been waiting for and dreading.

[My lord. My ladies. The Alpha has entered the zone. It will arrive within the next 15 minutes.]

Liv and I looked at each other and nodded.

Time to get this over with.
