There were four beauties here ready for their therapy. I thought it was better to make a single sacrifice, just like I did once with Yasaka and Haku. However, once I tried to sacrifice the treasures, Horus reacted right off the bat.
[The treasures accumulated, even if split in four, are way more than what is required for an X10 session]
'R-Really? What the- where the hell did Yasaka get those treasures from?'
[It is unknown, but there are a few primordial artefacts in there. There are two options. One is to sacrifice just what is necessary for an X10 session. The other...]
'The other...?'
[Since you are an overgod now, the quality of energy that you can process has increased. Even if we go above a X10 Session, you shouldn't experience a lot of strain in your body and soul]
'Above an X10? Is that possible?' I thought there was a limit.
[Naturally, but such a session would have threatened your life in the past... now, you should be able to handle an X13 session without trouble]
'How high can we go with the treasures in here?'.
[We can do a single X50 or a joint X20 for four people]
'X50' Just thinking about that session, sent shivers don't my body. Let alone what we are going to feel, what kind of crazy bullshit powers are they going to get?.
'Let's do the joint X20'
[But you can't handle more than an X13]
'Am I going to die if I try? And if I do, can't I just use Chaos Points to come back?' Let's just say I am quite used to dying already.
[Your mindset is very optimistic... It is not going to kill you, but it will severely strain you. I recommend you limit the scope of Energy Records while performing this session]
That wasn't going to be a problem. I looked back at the girls who were chatting with each other, lying on their stomachs and waiting for me expectantly.
It is true that I am scared of making monsters, but... I am also excited about the results every time. I love those girls, why wouldn't I want to make them stronger? So what if I am strained? I got all my cum zapped out of me and I didn't feel that much strained, this is nothing...
'Let's do this, Horus... I think it is worth trying. I am only a lesser overgod, and I am five hundred thousand points from evolving to an Adept Overgod'.
[I will tell you just in case. An X20 session is no joke. We don't know what kind of monstrosity will come out of this; the Septem Diebus, a Multiversal Artefact, is going to be at its limits].
'Did I fucking stutter, Horus? Let's do it!' I don't know what he's so scared for. It doesn't matter how scary these monstrosities are, they're addicted to my dick... so they should be 'controllable'.
[Very well].
"I'm sorry for making you wait, girls... I'm ready now" I came back to them and prepared for our special kind of ritual.
"We will be in your care-nya, show me what my master's hands can do!" Kuroka said enthusiastically.
Albedo and Hanna nodded.
Kurumi was licking her lips. It was then that I recalled that Kurumi was here.
'Holy shit... do I really wanna make her that strong...? ugh, you know what? fuck it... She's my pet, what could go wrong?'.
I extended my arms, and the treasures were all sacrificed, every single golden coin.
*RUMBLE!!!*
I immediately felt like a mountain was crashing on me as all those treasures were condensed and transformed into energy that the Septem Diebus consumed. But this energy was far more pure and powerful than Sun Energy. When I looked at my body, all my tattoos, except for the Fertility Crest, were expanding and taking over all of my body, as if transforming me into a completely different being.
The girls gasped when they saw that, and we looked around and saw how reality began to shift, like we were transported to another universe where there were just stars in the firmament. Some close, so far... but the scenery was spectacular.
"W-What is this -nya?" Kuroka mumbled.
"Amazing..." Hannah was stupefied.
We were all levitating in the nothingness, and not too far away from us, there was a beautiful star with rings all around it. This star was purple in colour... and I felt identified with it. Through all of this, the weight on my shoulders, no... on my soul, didn't decrease.
[Session Quality: X20]
[Time remaining: 1:59:00]
[+5.000.000 Chaos Points].
I had to clean my eyes a bit to realise that the number I was seeing was right. That's a ridiculous amount of Chaos Points... there is no way Takamagahara had these many treasures, and even if they did... does that mean Yasaka casually handed me the whole treasure trove?
I felt moved, and I would have to thank her a lot more later. With this amount, I wouldn't be surprised if I could jump all the way to a High Overgod.
An hour was a bit too short for four individuals, but I could make it work. I walked up to Kuroka, who stared at me in awe. She got on her stomach and waited. I put my hands on her back, and the tattoos on my body began spreading into her body as well.
!!!
"Ohhh!~" Kuroka moaned, her tails wiggling crazily.
It was mysterious; it was like I was touching her soul rather than her body. Memories of hers flashed into my mind, all of her characteristics, all of her powers. I put my other hand on her and began massaging her, feeling incredible as I did.
Kuroka didn't emit a sound, but her body began to change just like mine, wrapped in those ancient tribal tattoos. Then, as we carried on, several motes of light began to appear around me. All of them with different colours and intensities, like little stars.
I picked one of them and inspected it; the energy contained within was just ridiculous. However, once I picked that small star, several of the weaker ones disappeared. I let it go, and they reappeared... then I picked one of the smaller purple stars... and as a result, the one with the greatest shine and power disappeared, the others remained.
'This is...?'
[I believe those are traits] Horus answered, [Put that little star inside Kuroka's body].
I did as he said, and once I did, I got a notification.
[Do you wish to weld 'Overgod Skill - Darkness Surfer' into Kuroka Toujou?]
'Weld...?'
I said no, and the little star returned to its original position.
'Oh, I think I understand now'
[It seems we are now able to decide what traits and powers to give them... rather than leaving it to luck... such a ridiculous power. Isn't this like...?]
'Building a God from scratch...?' I finished the sentence for him, gulping a mouthful. I could evolve someone from mortal into a deity, deciding what their powers and characteristics would be. Although the powers that manifested seemed to be corresponding to the nature of the individual, like Kuroka. All the powers that appeared were related to darkness.
[Yes, exactly that].
I should have known... why would a Multiversal Artefact have anything to do with massages? Massages were just the medium. In reality, this is a power capable of crafting.
[We can even assume this is not the limit of it. The Septem Diebus is a tool of creation... at its peak, we can't rule out the capacity to even create worlds].
'Don't mention such complex things...'
I was getting a headache just imagining how difficult it would be to create a world, or a star, from scratch. I took the brightest of the lights, I wanted Kuroka to have the best... so I pushed it into her body.
[Do you wish to weld, 'Overgod Trait - Underworld Ruler of Spirits' into Kuroka Toujou]
After giving her that trait, a lot of the lights disappeared, leaving only some of the weakest ones. I said yes to that, and Kuroka's body started to shine immensely.
[Welding...]
[Success...]
[Congratulations, Kuroka Toujou has obtained an Evolution: Souleater Hell-kitty (Deity)].
[Congratulations, Kuroka Toujou has obtained a skill: Overgod Skill - Spiritual Manipulation].
[Kuroka Toujou: Soul +80%]
[Kuroka Toujou: Moon +100%]
...
Kuroka's body started to change in front of me. Her hair became longer and pristine, there were strands of cyan blue, she grew another pair of tails, putting her in four tails total. Her nails became longer, too. For some reason, her butt also became bigger, but her breasts stayed just like that. Her skin went a bit pale. All in all, she looked a lot sexier but also a lot more eerie.
Like a Ghost, a Nekoshou Ghost.
"M-Myam~"
As I rubbed her back, she stretched happily. Kuroka was far from conscious... she wasn't looking at me anymore. She was just there, enjoying her massage... except that I had barely even touched her. I massaged her more, and as I did, more motes of light appeared... although none were very strong.
At some point, a mote of light left my body as well.
'Uhm?'.
I took this golden mote of light, which was a bit weak too, and put it in her body.
[Do you wish to weld, 'High Skill - Illusion Domain' into Kuroka Toujou?].
However, once I put that in her body, all the lights disappeared... she wouldn't be able to take another skill. This skill was mine and Yasaka's... it was a natural trait to kitsunes.
I looked around the other skills to see which one would fit her better until I found one.
[Do you wish to weld, 'High Skill - Berserk State' into Kuroka Toujou?].
It was a power related to an increase of strength, although it was temporal... not permanent.
[Congratulations, Kuroka Toujou has obtained a skill: High Skill - Berserk State].
...
With that, I spent the rest of her time massaging her, but no more motes of light were visible. She had reached the limit of what I could give her. Kuroka fell asleep. I kissed her cheek and hoped that after this, no one would dare call her a weakling.
Then I moved to my next customer: Albedo
Once I touched her body, she moaned, and a plethora of motes of light appeared, way more than Kuroka's. I didn't know if this meant she was more talented or had more potential.
Among them, there was one that immediately caught my attention. That mote shone... but it shone in a pitch-black colour! It was way more intense than the one I put in Kuroka. However, when I took it, even the stars of the firmament disappeared, leaving only that purple shining star.
If I put this in Albedo, I wasn't going to be able to put anything else... I was sure of that. I pushed it into her body, and she began to become pitch-black, just like it.
[Do you wish to weld 'Concept - Lust' into Albedo]
'Concept...?'
[Impossible...] Horus spouted, baffled.
'Explain me...?'
[A concept is the strongest thing that exists not only in the universe but even the multiverse... it is a law. Laws are not supposed to belong to individuals, regardless of how strong they are!]
I have never seen Horus this exalted.
[Even if 'Lust' is a relatively small and pitiful concept compared to the likes of Space, Light... and so on. It is still a concept, nonetheless. I don't think she will be able to handle this power, Ray. This is a reward exclusive to an X20 session. Gods have authority over concepts in their local universes... no God should be able to become the concept itself].
'What if she can take it? Wouldn't it be her blessing? Didn't this mote appear out of her body precisely because she's able to take it?' I didn't want to take away from her something that she earned.
[We won't know until we try... but just so you know, giving her this concept will make her into a being stronger than you. Unless the concept of lust disappears from the countless multiverses, she won't be able to die; she will keep coming back eternally].
'...'
I looked at Albedo, who was moaning beneath my hands. I had the key to her future in my possession. We began as enemies, but now... one way or another, after she put her mark in me, we are inseparable. Would I be able to forgive myself if I gave something to her that was detrimental... and that couldn't be cured?
[And she won't be able to die even if you die... do you think that's her desire?].
Horus' words brought light to my darkness and settled my confusion. I almost felt the urge to laugh at him.
'If you were trying to deter me, you shouldn't have said that, Horus. I don't know if that is her desire, but my desire is that I want my women to live...'
So, without hesitation, I accepted. And a shockwave of expansion exploded from her body, sending me flying.
Albedo, unaware of what was even going on, just moaned and failed to notice how her body became a literal black hole that sucked everything around her. That singularity soon stabilised and regained its colours. By then, Albedo's body had changed... she had tribal pitch-black tattoos all over her body, her hair had elongated until it... It disappeared into the very fabric of existence.
'The hell?'.
It was like her hair merged with the nothingness of space. Or as if her hair was the nothingness itself... I wasn't sure.
"Albedo...?"
When her eyes opened to look at me, I saw hearts in there; her eyes were pitch black, but the hearts were white. That was the gaze of a demon.
