Akuto was still shocked by the truth about the Gremory family, and in the next second, he heard an even more explosive system notification.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host, for triggering the story quest—The Future of the Gremory Family.]
[Quest Rank: White → Colorful.]
[Quest Description: Because the inheritance of the Mother of Devils Lilith's power is incomplete, the Gremory family has fallen under a curse preventing them from extending their bloodline.
However, the Succubus Bloodline rewarded by the system has the ability to force any creature into a state of reproduction.
As the only existence capable of helping the Gremory family extend their bloodline, the Host must offer his humble power.]
[Quest Requirement: Solve the infertility problem of the Gremory family members.]
[Note: When facing the weakened bloodline of the Mother of Devils Lilith, the Succubus Bloodline can only take effect on targets of the same tier.
The Host's current Succubus Bloodline is at Blue rank, which means it cannot solve the infertility problem of Gremory family members whose bloodline purity is at Purple rank.]
[Ding!~]
[This quest is a special quest. It will not draw new system rewards, but will instead strengthen the Host's existing rewards based on the corresponding Gremory member's strength.]
"Cough, cough!!!"
As expected of the Wicked Protagonist System, this was the first time Akuto had seen such a bizarre and explosive quest.
"A Blue-rank Succubus Bloodline can't solve a Purple-rank infertility problem, huh—let me check Venelana's power first."
"Three-seven-seven"… Venelana's bloodline was undoubtedly Purple, and her strength had just reached Maou-class. It was likely that the other Gremory family members wouldn't be any lower.
After a moment's thought, Akuto quickly made a decision.
"Alright, I'll need to search for more existences possessing the 'World Core' in the future!"
He said this because he still had a long-term quest regarding the "World Core."
If he was lucky enough to draw a reinforcement for the Succubus Bloodline, he could upgrade it from Blue to Purple.
When that time came, he would…
After thinking it through, Akuto decided to first lay some groundwork with the Gremory family.
"Lady Venelana, if I told you I possess the 'Apocalypse' ability, and just now I saw through it a future where Rias and I have several children… would you believe me?" Akuto asked seriously.
"?"
Venelana arched a brow.
"Akuto-kun, are you saying… in the future you can solve the Gremory bloodline problem?!" For the first time, Venelana showed clear emotional fluctuations.
"Cough, cough… you could say that~"
"Over there, Miss Maid, could you come here for a moment?" Akuto beckoned to the maid standing nearby.
Since Rias' bloodline was at Violet-Gold and Venelana's at Purple, he had no choice but to test with one of the maids.
"Yes."
Glancing at Venelana, and receiving her permission, the maid walked to Akuto's side.
Pa~
With a soft sound, Akuto gently grasped the maid's hand, then activated his Succubus Bloodline with full force.
"Ahn~!"
With a cry, the maid collapsed to the ground.
A few minutes later.
Venelana released the maid's hand after her inspection.
She had discovered that simply by touching Akuto, the maid had instantly entered reproductive heat!
Pa!
While Akuto was distracted, Venelana suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Akuto-kun, could you use that ability on me as well?" Venelana's eyes now carried a burning intensity.
"Uh… actually, I already used it. Sorry, at this stage, my ability still has limits. After all, in terms of base strength, I'm only a High-Class Devil."
It was the first time Akuto had been looked at with such fiery eyes.
"…Haa~~~ I see."
Hearing his explanation, Venelana calmed down somewhat.
True, she had been too anxious. Akuto said that in the future Rias would have children with him, but that didn't mean he could solve the problem right now.
"Akuto-kun, if you and Rias can give birth to several descendants, you will be the benefactor of the entire Gremory family!" Venelana solemnly promised.
She wasn't so eager because of her personal wish to have more children, but because of the honor of her family.
For generations, every Gremory head had reached Maou-class strength.
But because they could not marry out, nor bear more than one heir, the family's standing in the Underworld had always been low—until Sirzechs ascended to the Maou throne.
Meanwhile, other pureblood devil families could bear multiple heirs, establish branch families, and gather numbers. Power in numbers meant they could suppress the Gremory with ease.
After witnessing Akuto's ability, Venelana became even more enthusiastic toward him.
After dinner and some entertainment, in order to ensure that Akuto and Rias produced descendants quickly, Venelana even locked the two of them inside a prepared guest room!
"Sorry, Akuto-kun, my mother is very strict about the Gremory bloodline…"
Rias felt a huge weight press upon her. The hope of the family's continuation rested on her shoulders.
"It's alright, actually, I was just thinking of getting closer to you." Akuto smoothly embraced her from behind, sliding his hand inside her gown from the side.
Though shy, Rias had never refused Akuto's advances. She only licked her lips slightly, so that when he kissed her later, it would feel even better.
Just then, an unexpected voice sounded, cutting into the atmosphere.
"In that case~ Akuto-sama, could you add me as well?"
"Ravel? When did you get here?" Rias blinked, surprised, thinking she had left after dinner.
"Ravel, you came at the right time."
Akuto carried Rias over to her.
"Rias, look—Ravel even wore her bridal gown from last night. Why don't you try wearing yours too?" he teased with a smile.
"Alright, I'll wear it…"
Normally, Akuto would have to satisfy Rias first before she agreed to such a shameful request.
But with a rival present, her acceptance rate shot up drastically.
Perhaps this was what they called "wifely competition."
To his surprise, Rias not only donned the wedding dress, she also guided Ravel with her own experience, acting in the role of a "senior wife."
"Ravel, from now on, you're my person too~"
"Yes, Akuto-sama, I am yours…" Wrapped in her pure white bridal gown, Ravel's body trembled as she lowered herself onto him.
The unprecedented pain made her small body tense, but Akuto kissed away her tears and stimulated his Succubus Bloodline, shifting her into the perfect state for conception.
Her pain eased greatly, and she let Akuto grasp her twin golden pigtails—clearly a gesture of trust and attachment, since it was the part of herself he liked most.
Soon, with the help of Akuto's symbiotic ability, both brides in white gowns fainted, one on each side, clinging to him as they slept.
During Ravel's moment of weakness, Akuto casually removed the "Evolution Core" from her body.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host, for completing Story Quest—World Core Fragment Collection, gaining one corresponding upgrade.]
[Quest Rank: Blue.]
[Collected Target: Ravel Phoenix]
[Ding!]
[Eye of Data (Green) has advanced to Eye of Data (Blue).]
[Eye of Data (Blue): The evolved Eye of Data. It can now observe the principles of the world's operation even more clearly and directly.]
Akuto hadn't expected Ravel's defeat to be only the beginning.
Not long after she fell unconscious, a mature beauty with wine-red hair appeared through a magic circle.
"I am Yubelluna, under Lady Ravel's command, here to serve Lord Akuto." Dressed in a qipao, the graceful one-knee-bowed woman spoke softly.
"Hm? You're Ravel's Queen? She sent you?"
Akuto turned his gaze toward her—after all, she was another possessor of a World Core.
Yubelluna, in the original story, was Riser's Queen, famed as the "Bomb Queen," specializing in explosive magic.
During the Rating Game between Rias and Riser, she had fought against Akeno in a duel of Queens.
Though she wasn't Akeno's equal, at the last moment she healed herself with a Phoenix Tear and managed to defeat the exhausted Akeno.
In canon, Yubelluna was Riser's "Queen" servant.
But now, she was not Riser's, but a Phoenix servant temporarily placed under Ravel, to be handed over once Riser married.
After all, it would be shameful for a pureblood devil to marry without having his own peerage ready.
From the moment she descended, Akuto's eyes were drawn to her long legs and world-class figure.
Though her power was not quite on par with Akeno, she was a High-Class Devil with impressive strength.
And in terms of appearance, her mature, wine-like allure was no less than Akeno's.
"Yes, I am indeed Lady Ravel's Queen."
Yubelluna's explosive figure was even more exaggerated than Rias', such that when she bowed slightly, her ample chest nearly pressed into her chin.
"In fact, Lady Ravel instructed us servants that if she and Lady Rias could not satisfy you, we must ensure you are fully content afterwards."
Though Yubelluna had prepared herself for this ever since Akuto's victory, seeing the state of Rias and Ravel firsthand still made her swallow nervously.
"Is that so? Then come here." Akuto, of course, welcomed her.
"Yes, it is my honor to serve Lord Akuto."
As she spoke, Yubelluna began unfastening her qipao to bare her flawless body.
But Akuto stopped her.
"No, leave it on. Yubelluna, I'd like you to keep wearing that qipao~"
"Eh? You mean…" Yubelluna tilted her head curiously.
"I believe a qipao enhances a woman's charm. When it comes time to remove obstacles, we can simply push the fabric aside, can't we?"
"…Yes, I understand, Lord Akuto."
Understanding his meaning, Yubelluna blushed deeply and buttoned her qipao again, ready to serve.
