The words hit me like a hammer, and my chest started to get tight as my mind ran through a wide range of emotions.
"When were you going to tell me this?" I asked, keeping my voice level and deadly calm.
[They will all join you in The Place Where Worlds Collide, and I never really thought about it till now. What does it matter?]
"What? How could it not matter?" I asked with shock as I sat down in the grass, stunned by what I heard from Harold of all people.
[You know what is going to happen if you kill him, right? When Helsin Zero is killed, this all ends Zack, you know that; you don't need the memories for that. All these bonds, people, and everything beside me only exists in your mind.]
Harold was right, and so was Zero when he told me I would start to understand what he was trying to do. I still didn't agree, but now I was torn about this all.
"So you're telling me that I have to choose between this life and the people of Earth? There are
I smiled down at Dani, and the two of us broke apart, and I stepped back from her. I looked over her long caterpillar body and mused over what to do.The idea of convincing her about me each time did have its charms, but it was hardly what I would call efficient. It would be better for me to carry her with me, and it looked like it would be possible but tricky."What happens if you don't touch the rock? Can you still guide us, and we blend in?" I asked as I started to walk around Dani, looking her body over."I don't know, but I do remember how each ring works! I can still guide us, I think, but are you sure that you are going to be able to carry me over?" Dani asked as she watched me examine her.I nodded, and then walked up, and bent down at the center section of the tiger-striped caterpillar's body, and scooped it up. Dani squeaked, but I didn't stand up right away and turned my head to face the shocked-looking girl."Put your hands on my should
"Who do you think you are!" The voices shrieked, but I ignored them as I thought about where I was.'Harold?'[...]Nothing from him, so this was like when I talked to Mark. I had almost no way to do anything to resist, but that was before I had spent time in my own head.This was just another place in my head, and the ripples from the voices were coming from the direction of the constellation.I focused my will and targeted the pattern of stars and let myself reach out to make a connection. This was my head, so I made the rules; the others were the invaders."Stop that, you wild animal! You can not take this control! We are the rulers of the Astral Orichalcum Rings!" The voices shrieked, but they were weaker now.I refused to give them the satisfaction of a reply and instead focused on establishing my bond with the ring. Even though I was targeting the constellation, I knew that the real target was the Libra Orichalcum Ring.S
I pushed the hair out of her face and smiled down at Libra warmly, and she pulled her knees up. This raised her hips up into an inviting position, and I kissed her, but I still needed to figure out things while I could remember them."Sure, but I have questions that can't wait, or there is a good chance that I will forget them. Did I have the same connection with the others as I did with you?" I asked, but that made Libra chuckle."I don't think you share the same relationships with the others, but there are some. Virgo, Gemini, and Aquarius were all close with you; the rest have their own enjoyments," Libra said with a smile.I climbed on the bed, positioning myself to rest my cock between her cheeks. I gripped her hips, enjoying the playful sliding of my cock, and the softness of her ass.I reached down between her legs and gently played with Libra's smooth and hairless slit. I made her moan as my fingers became sticky with her excited leaking juices.
[Are you okay?!] Harold asked.[He is fine, but who are you?] Libra asked curiously."Are you okay," Dani asked as I opened my eyes to find her tiger-striped orange and black hairless face hanging over top of me.I nodded as I was assaulted by all three voices inside and out of my head. I scrubbed my hands over my face and sat up, making Dani pull back as I did."Yeah, I think that I am alright, but I have control of one of the rings, and I have an idea of what I am dealing with now. Though it looks like I gained a new orchestra member in my mind," I said, and Dani gave me a strained look."Are you sure that you are all right?" Dani asked me with a concerned look on her face, and I rolled my eyes.Everyone seemed to think that I was crazy when I talked about the voices in my head, and one really couldn't blame them.[I am Hero, Zack's guide. You are Libra, I would assume, right?] Harold asked.[I am one of his Zodiac lovers! Li
I bent my knees and focused on the top of the massive white marble wall. The entire thing looked perfectly built, and it seemed to stretch up and around the whole of the ring.'What am I to expect when I get up there?'[An exhaustive ring-wide argument since I am not there now to keep everything balanced. The world is built using hexagons that each hold unique and balanced habitats. Now that I am no longer there, any bugs can enter anywhere. They will be arguing about people coming into their balanced areas while the newer bugs are just trying to find a new place.] Libra explained, and I nodded to myself.I jumped and flew into the air about thirty feet and then landed on the top of the marble wall. Knowing that I was about the size of a flea made me kind of feel like one as I had been flying through the air.[Yeah, Zack Flee's that can jump thirty feet in the air and will come and breed with the other organisms on you! That is just what every parent want
The bugs weren't crying out, but they were doing their best to get past me. I stood still and watched as a strange faceless man in a luxurious red robe that I would think a vampire would be wearing.[Be careful. This creature is volatile, and if it loses control, it will go berserk and become much more potent. Don't let it get that far, or you won't be able to beat the creature in this state!] Libra told me like the smooth-faced man with a mouth full of sharp teeth stalked toward me.Those chompers looked like they could do a lot of damage, so I had better keep my hands out of his mouth. I was stuck at a bit of a disadvantage here.I had no weapons, my pack was left back in the cavern, but it didn't look like the creature had any either. Though, with the confidence that the creature was walking with, I could assume that it had no need for any.'Anything I should know about this thing before I start trying to fight it?'[It has no special powers oth
That pissed me off, but I didn't let it make me lose my cool; I just needed to take this in strides. It was just trying to get under my skin, and tricks weren't going to work on this monster.I opened my hands and started to circle and lowered my center of gravity, spreading my stance. I needed to watch out for the creature's mouth, but taking it down was going to be the best option.I would have to prepare to defend the counter-blow that would surely come. Still, taking Carnage down and breaking to bones would slow it down some.Carnage was watching me as I circled, but after I opened my hands, the smile had left. I guess that it could assume I was about to try, meaning I was on the right path.I slowly closed the circle, and the creature raised its hands as I got closer, but right as I got within reach, Carnage started to back up. I wanted to taunt it, but I remembered Libra's word and just kept focused on the red-robed monster."Strike us, fool!
I jumped in the air, and a massive centipede with a black carapace passed under me, and I came down to land on its back. I ducked down as a giant green worm passed over the top of the giant centipede and me, but I jumped off before it could crash down.The giant worm crashed down on the centipede, crushing it and causing it to scream out as it died. I kept running, but the loose sand was making it hard to get any speed along with trying to dodge the long bodies monsters."It is only a matter of time until one of my pets gets you!" Scar roared from behind me, but I had no part in name-calling.I was trying to not get eaten by the giant creatures that seemed to endlessly spawn out of the sands. It was all I could do to dodge them and keep them at a distance, but it was getting harder.[two kilometers left, you can do this! Three-fifths of the way there, so just keep pushing!] Harold cheered me on, and then I rolled under another jumping strike, getting back
“No, sex isn’t needed, I don't think, but I won’t turn you down if that’s what you want,” I chuckled, and Mati rolled her eyes.“I was just asking a question, pervert. Let’s get going before something big comes and-”“...Tells you that you are in their territory?” A deep and rumbling voice asked from behind, finishing Mati’s sentence.Both of us turned around to see the biggest sea turtle I had ever seen. Its skin was jade green, but its shell was covered with colorful coral that had a large number of different colorful fish swimming around it.The fish looked pretty tasty.“It’s a turtle!” I exclaimed with delight.“This is The Jade Reef of Death. He really doesn’t like me, but his fish are really tasty! Want to get a snack?” Mati asked, and I looked between her and the big friendly-looking turtle.Then it opened its mouth to reveal point jade teeth, and my eyes went big.“You think that I am going to let you?!” The jade turtle roared and dove at us, but I had already selected a new
“Let me go back and let someone know where I am going, or they will all come looking for me,” I said, trying not to stare at Mati's breasts that seemed to have a mind of their own.“Sure, and they are pretty entertaining, aren’t they? I get lost sometimes watching them flop around when I swim!” Mati laughed as she grabbed her breasts and jiggled them around, and I nodded.“Can’t blame you for that. They are a nice pair, but you are pretty good-looking yourself,” I laughed as we swam to catch up to the front of the ship.“Sounds like you are hitting on me,” Mati said, giving me a sideways look that I returned.“Glad to see that your ears work,” I chuckled as I swam to the dome and then slapped myself on it like Mati did before.Mati joined me, and Mex was down there waving to us with Nushi, Jilly, and Lizy. I was surprised that Kieta wasn’t with them, but she might be nervous after all this time.“Where is my kitten? Did you leave her behind?” Mati asked from beside me.“Kieta? I expec
Once inside, I pressed the button, and the elevator started to take me up to the top floor, where Lidy was sleeping in my room. I looked around and sniffed, but all signs of our fun were gone; all evidence cleaned.I was curious if that happened on its own or if someone was cleaning up after me as I went? That would not be likely, but I never knew. A good number of people had nothing to do, but I wasn’t giving them orders.Hell, I didn’t even know where half the people that had joined us were. Numerous Demons had come with us, men and women, but I hadn’t placed them.There was a ding as I reached the top floor, and the door opened. I headed out and turned right to the ladder that went up to the hatch, but it was different now.I climbed up and had to spin the wheel that was on top of the hatch to get it opened. When I opened it, I half expected the water to rush out and then sink the ship.What was on the other side of the hatch was hard to look at without wondering what the fuck was
I remember Mex telling me about Mati, but seeing her now was a bit surreal pressed up on the glass. She was Kieta’s friend, so it might be nice to get her to come to join us, but getting to her was a problem.“That is quite the sight,” Fireden said thoughtfully, but I sucked all four back inside of me at once.“Hello? Can you hear me?” Mati called from the other side of the glass, but I could barely hear her.“Yes! Give me a minute, and I will come out there!” I shouted, and Mati gave me a webbed thumbs up.I turned, jogged out of the room, and headed straight for the front of the house to get to the control room. The moment I entered the small room, the door opened, but Keri wasn't in the booth.“I anticipated that you would be coming to see me. We really need to get an intercom set up. I was going to come to talk to you about her, but I assumed you would come to find me first,” Mex said as I walked up to the map area I had been in before.“So this is the Mati that you were talking a
I marched down the stairs till I got to the bottom, trying not to stomp my feet as I went. I turned and headed to the kitchen and another to the glass-domed area.I closed the door behind myself and went to sit down in front of the glass, crossing my legs. I had really let that woman get to me, but Machariel’s attitude was out of line.*Wataluga: Do you mind if we join you, or would you prefer to be alone right now?*“It’s fine,” I said out loud, and all four of my elementals emerged from the Totem Tattoos on my body.“Well, that bird is a hard one to swallow!” Grogvel laughed, making Wataluga vibrate, but the rumble felt normal now.“You can say that again,” I groaned, staring out into the blue.“You can’t fix them all, but I think each of the women has their own degree of trauma. This Machariel seems to have the same story as most Demon women. Taken advantage of by a stronger male. It can’t be easy for them to live knowing that and then be hunted after for something you didn’t choos
After getting on new shorts and a t-shirt on, helped Lidy dry off the bed and change the sheets, I left her to nap. I gave her a kiss before leaving and a promise of more later.Once I was outside the room, I paused for a moment and closed my eyes. Lidy had changed, but there was no change in her status card other than her race.That was now a Five-Tailed Shadow Cat, but nothing was displaying what kind of abilities she had. I was curious what that meant, but I had told Harold that I would leave him alone for a few days.I searched out the different girls through my senses, but all of them were gathered in one place that I couldn’t put my finger on. That must mean they were in one of Mex’s areas and would all be with Beeno.I headed downstairs, but a door opened when I got to the first floor below me. The leader of the women's circle stepped out with a scowl on her face.Machariel had short blue hair that almost looked like she had a bowl cut and four-inch horns protruding from her fo
I leaned down, looking into Lidy’s blue eyes, and little tiny pink hearts were pulsing where her pupils should be. Above her dripping hole, the black tribal-like tattoo that prevented her from having more than one child sat.I wasn’t sure if that also locked her as a Demon, but that was something to ponder another time. I leaned the rest of the way down and kissed Lidy softly as I pushed my cock into her wet hole.The feeling of her tight pussy, and passionate kisses greeted me like an old friend as Lidy moaned into my mouth. I pulled Lidy’s arms from her legs and pushed them down on the bed above her head, pinning them down.“Mmm, that big cock feels so good inside of me,” Lidy moaned as I started to kiss down her neck.“I missed filling your holes, and this is much better than the freezer room. Wrap your legs around me,” I instructed, and Lidy smiled and did as I said.Once her legs were tight around me, I let go of her hands and then wrapped my arms around her. I picked Lidy off th
The blade of my blue sword bent and twisted around the chain, hissing as I was forced to duck. The chain hissed over me, and I switched to my Water Pact, activating the Force and Sphinx Totem.I spun and ripped the whip out of Lidy’s hand, but a Greatsword appeared from the wall beside her. The moment that she gripped it, electricity flowed over the blade in sparks.“Oh, come on, Kieta! Give me a greatsword too!” I roared, and a plain greatsword spat out of the wall.I picked it up as Lidy laughed at me, dropping my wave sword. I had planned to one-hand it, but the sword was remarkably heavy.I switched to Earth Pact and swung the sword quickly. I activated the Gog Totem, and flames ran up the blade, but now Lidy had a second greatsword.This one had water running around the blade like a chainsaw, and I growled as I looked at my sword and then my other arm.“Monsterize!” I roared, and my body turned blue, expanding like Lidy’s but bigger.Lidy dropped her swords, turned purple, and th
“She seems excited,” Lidy giggled as we walked over to the door that Kieta had just walked through.“Leave her be. Keita will come to me in her own time, not like I don’t have enough else to do right now,” I said as I pushed the door open to find a small room filled with monitors and panels with more displays. “Wow, You really spiffed this place up!”“I worked for a privately contracted weapons research facility before you blew up the known universe. Once you got up top to deal with the sea witch, I got all my memories back of who I was then. Now I can create some pretty wild things thanks to this thing that you gave me,” Kieta said, pointing to her eyes that were a series of moving cogs like the inside of a watch.“I guess making computers and things like that aren’t really much of a problem for you then,” I laughed, and Kieta’s cogs rolled around in her head.“I could build a computer from scratch before I left grade school when I was fourteen. I didn’t need these eyes for that. The
