Chapter 592: The weight of hope [1/2]
Irritation and annoyance practically burst out of my harem. Most of the girls were just about to kick into high gear. We were just barely getting in the good parts of our love making.
Only Liv and I noticed how the other girls ignored Exa and continued to mate.
"Beloved, you should leave your other bodies here. I am afraid that leaving them unsatisfied would lead to a most horrible outcome."
"Hahaha, I agree. I fear it more than the Alpha," I replied.
Then I held baby Liv in my arms and left the room. My other bodies continued to fuck the brains out of my other girls. What was different about this particular session was that there was hardly a word. Just the carnal desire to copulate.
Of course, Sunday, who had Liv, had no such desires. Lolis were made to be protected.
Unless they were at least as old as Robyn, I found it disgusting. Liv, seemingly entranced by being carried, snuggled deeper into my embrace.
'My love, should I have stayed in my real form? At least that way I could have relieved some of your lust as well.'
'That's okay Liv, we have all the time in the world. There will be plenty of time after we kill this motherfucker. No, after we finish this whole campaign. Let's all go on a trip. I always wanted to travel around the world. But it gets boring when you are alone.
Now I have you girls to keep me company.'
'I see, how delightful. Japan was really different from the North. I wonder what the other continents are like? I would offer to show you the beauty of the my home, but...'
Sensing the sadness and loss coming from Liv, I gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek.
'Enough of that, love. Just show me after we blow the living shit out of the undead. I promised you, didn't I? I will make it happen.'
Liv stared at me with wide eyes as she laughed happily.
'Beloved, you are so very silly. How will anything be left when you use our weapons? Everything will be in craters!'
'Oh? I think it would be our masterpiece. I would call it the land of ice and zombie guts. Or something like Hellsgate Frosted Version 2.0.'
'Haha, my love, only you could make that kind of joke. Then it is a deal. In exchange for reclaiming the North, I will show you around. Though what I have to offer seems worthless in comparison.'
'Liv, we are family. Family doesn't keep score. And even if we did.
You already paid for everything the moment you made me fall in love with you. Even the price of saving the North is not worth a fraction of your love and devotion. For me, it is I who bring less to the table.'
The brave Northerner in my arms hid her face in my chest as she giggled with happiness.
"Beloved. Stop saying such things. My heart can't bear it. Do you hear yourself? How can you say that my love is worth more than the North and all its people! You are foolish!
And what is worse! You really mean it! Why do you value me so highly? It is unbelievable."
Despite her childish tirade, I noticed that her body was trembling with ecstasy. The northern loli refused to turn in my direction. But her ears were noticeably flushed, probably from embarrassment.
Pleased with her adorable state, I left her alone and moved to enter the city walls. When I did, all of Joshua and the members of Hellsend were on the ramparts, looking over the wall.
Their eyes, of course, were on the monstrosity that was coming for us. The biological freak of nature as big as a building.
I went over to Joshua, who had Angela by his side. The racist Korean turned to me as I closed the door. Then she yelled out in surprise.
"AH! Big Siren turn to brat! Oppa! Look! Bigfoot turned to Chuckie! WAAAA!!!!"
Of course, the rest of the people all turned around and saw me and baby Liv.
Funnily enough, no one else said anything. Most if not all of the guys here already knew how overprotective I was of the Sirens. I was sure that even if they did not, Joshua and my original crew would.
After all, they had been beaten to within an inch of their lives by these women. Even if not for me, the rest of Hellsend would keep quiet for their own safety. It was that or get beaten.
Angela was the only one that could curse everyone as she liked.
'Probably because everyone knows that she is racist as hell by default. But anyone who fought by her side would know about Angela's protective side,' I thought to myself.
'Indeed. And I owe her as much as Isolde, so I am not offended, my love.'
'Oh? What happened? Did she and our Wyvern help you in any way? Can you tell me, love?'
'Um... I prefer not to. It is a woman's matter. Please forget it.'
Sensing Liv's hesitation, I didn't ask further and responded to Angela.
"Sup Kimchi! I'm glad you're still racist as fuck. I would have been sad if you suddenly became docile after I became your lord. Meet Idunn. She is my first daughter with Freyja."
"Stop bullshit, white boy. Soul signature is the same. You think I stupid? I reaper, you stupid fuck! I not see with eyes."
"Tsk. Couldn't you have acted surprised? You racist K-pop idol reject!"
"Your insult dumb as shit. Besides, you racist too, white boy! Your brain is also crap. And you loony as fuck! Look at that! Only you say kill that thing!"
While Angela lacked many words in her vocabulary, she did not lack the brains to read the situation.
Seeing it as a picture on the video screen could not compare to seeing the thing in real life. The Alpha was huge. Its massive body was like a small mountain coming towards you.
And with my superior vision, I could see the large number of lizardkin running alongside it. Joshua approached me and saluted.
"My lord, the Hellsend mechanized infantry has begun to retake the lost strongholds. There is little resistance. I have Santi, Claire, Scott and Warren leading them in four directions. Mike and the Hellsend Wyvern Air Wing are serving as a rapid response force. They are currently observing the Alpha from a distance."
I nodded as I looked up into the sky. At that altitude, it would have been impossible for Mike and the Wyverns to see the enemy.
But now that they had {Call my Name}, they had super human vision, and that abilitiy to use night vision, thermal, and even holographic.
Funnily enough, despite the Reapers here. Hardly any of the officers had the mental capacity to talk. They were all staring in fear of the coming disaster.
Unlike the other groups who were just running around the floor. They were in the same zone where we would fight the Alpha.
"This is fine. But I want to remind everyone. Outside of the Sirens and myself, no one is to fire a single shot. I need to show the world what I can do. So you can all relax," I said casually.
But instead of being comforted by my words, the phantoms around me stared at me blankly. After using the {Gather} and the {Perceive} family of {Fates} I learned how to read thoughts from their body language.
I had Aki teach me. She had an impressive knowledge of the subject. And right now, all I could read from the people around me was the same thought.
'This guy is bat shit insane.' That was everyone was thinking.
But it was amusing. Because since my first night as a reaper, that was probably the only thing most people said to me. When they could not understand what I was doing, they brushed it off by saying I was insane.
As if insanity was a catch-all to explain any deviation from what the world considered reasonable.
