Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Liv's heroic voice rang out, "Lilly, send me back."

"Why do you not wish to fight with me? Don't you also hate how Dearest behaves? I can understand the others. But I thought you of all people would feel the same as I do, sweetheart."

"I am sorry, Lilly. But I am different from all of you. Of the seven of us, only I demanded a price from Beloved. I serve and adore him in exchange for saving the North. I hated myself for giving him such a burden. Which was why I wanted to protect him."

"But he doesn't even care about any of that! That is just how absurd he is! If we do not change his ways he will die! The world is too dangerous! I cannot understand why Jas, Bella, even Jo can allow it. Aki's fear is a bit too extreme, but I think she is right."

Hearing Lilly and Liv speak of their thoughts, I understood how complex this issue had become. It wasn't that they just wanted to protect me. Each of my actions played and worked on their personalities and insecurities.

Aki was scared I die before she did. Robyn didn't care much so long as she was by my side. Jo believed no one needed her. Bella much like Liv felt guilt, but hers was more because she understood the cost of my goal.

Liv on the other hand was ashamed because she was one of the reasons I tried so hard. Funnily enough, Jas who always believed we were destined had the healthiest thoughts about the matter.

She would allow me to do what I wanted and just followed. From Tuesday and Sunday's talks I knew Lilly also had issues bottled up. But I had yet to understand what they were.

'Haaa. It is during times like this that I hate having a harem…'

Webs and incels, all longed to be surrounded by tons of girls. But that only worked when you surround yourself with escorts of prostitutes. This was why most harem media only included girls who had one dimensional personalities.

If any of the women behaved with even a semblance of a real ego, you would get anarchy. Jealousy, resentment, insecurities, fears, emotional vulnerabilities. It was already a pain in the ass to deal with one woman. Imagine having to deal with more.

'But then again if you cannot take the heat, get out of the kitchen,' I murmured.

Such were the reason why, hardly anyone had a harem of beauties. Of those that do, their relationships just basically fuck buddies. Few had harmony and understanding as those take a lot of effort and dedication.

The Sirens didn't want a harem. They wanted to kill everyone else to monopolize me. It was I who forbade them. Because I knew they loved me, I force them to cater to my desires. I chose this situation. So, it was my responsibility to fix it.

I gained a harem of seven of the most beautiful and loving wives. The cost was that I had seven times the baggage one had to deal with in a relationship. Loving someone did not end just because you have wild sex. That was only the beginning.

Just giving my girls what they wanted or telling them sweet whispers was not enough. As their man, it was my job to support them. If I simply dismissed them or hid their issues, the only logical conclusion would be that they would leave.

Rather than save myself from this type of headache by separating from the girls, I would power through. No marriage was perfect. That was natural, there were no perfect people to begin with. My girls were extremely close, but they also had some minor flaws.

"Lilly, please sent Liv out. We already came to an understanding. It's now your turn, you get all of me to keep you company. I will even gangbang you once we work out your issues."

Lilly blushed a bit before sighing audibly, "Sigh, I feel like an idiot now. Fine. {Portal}."

My Northerner gave me Monday a kiss before walking out the door. After she left, I invoked [Inspire]. Tuesday and Sunday woke up although the pain they sent the rest of us made me want to shoot them.

I had the rest of the guys set their bones even if it meant breaking them. Lilly who saw my impromptu operation asked in an inquisitive tone.

"Why not just unsummon them and {Rewind}, Dearest? Are you really a masochist? That looked really painful."

"It fucking hurt. But I figured that I needed the {Counter} energy," I replied as a matter of fact.

"Ara, you still believe that you have the power to defeat me. I already maimed and tortured two of you, Dearest. Do you honestly think having five more bodies would make even the slightest bit of a difference?"

"You will never know. If I was someone who only operated on logical outcomes, I wouldn't have even survived my first night."

"Hmph. I suppose you are right," she answered while looking towards the sky.

"Lilly, tell me what is wrong. I already reconciled with everyone else. Please tell me what I can do to make you forgive me."

"Cease your quest and just live quietly," she replied.

"What do you mean?"

"I am saying you should give up your goal of closing Hellsgate, Dearest."

"Why?"

My girl crossed her arms and made a sad face, "Because it impossible. We would die before it we actually do it."

"{Day by Day}."

I unsummoned my avatars and walked towards her. I took the Untamed's hand in mine and tried to sense the mood surrounding her. Lilly kept on a complicated countenance that seemed a mix of sadness and anger.

"Dear, what is wrong? Tell me. I will listen."

Most men believed that women made absolutely no sense at times. But in truth they had their own logic they followed. While Men prioritized getting the job done women were more inclined to follow their emotions.

And while most people would believe that this was a fault to Reapers it was not. If women followed their emotions more, this would mean their regrets would often have the power to eclipse that of most men.

There was a reason why the saying 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.' For Lilly who initially believed in me to suddenly change her position something must have happen. Rather than something logical, something caused her emotions to spiral.

Her decision to call me out now was because of these emotions. This was why despite her silence I knew that something must have rattled her. When you consider that things this fearless woman has accomplished, that something must have been something grave.

"I..I…I am…" uncharacteristically Lilly stammered.

The sight was saddening, I couldn't find her usual majesty. In its place was a scared little girl. Filled with love with this woman I created a {Shelter} seat and gently pulled her on it. I sat down and made her sit beside me. I placed my arm on her waist and simple waited.

"…"

Normally the quickest way to calm someone down was to appear confident. I learned this from Earl. When the world crumbled around you, showing that you had everything together was one of the best forms of masculinity.

Lilly who sat by my side rested her head on my chest as she embraced my arm. The weight of her body on mind was comfortable. A faint sweet aroma of sweat and cold air wafted through my nose. It was Lilly's unique scent. It was cozy and reminded me of winter.

Lilly and I sat in silence, our heartbeats being the only sounds in this dark paradise. When my woman's heartbeat calmed down, she intertwined our fingers. It was only then that she began to speak.

"Dearest, do you have to close Hellsgate?"

"I do."

"Why?"

"So that we can live in peace."

"Does it have to be you?"

"I cannot risk your lives waiting for someone else."

"So, it always comes back to us," she replied. A bit crestfallen.

"Don't say that. I can understand why you would fear. It is something no one has done before after all. But I cannot live in peace without preparing for what is to come. The world will end. And as we no longer die of old age, we will need to face it."

"I see…"

"Lilly, you already know what I would say. Tell me dear. What is bothering you? I won't be able to help if you do not tell me. Whatever you believe, know that I am on your side. Nothing in the world can change that."
