It took a lot of effort, but the Hammer team and I finally reconciled. As for Jas, Lilly and Liv, I allowed them to rest after we mated like animals for a few rounds. They never left my side thus they didn’t have to go through the same mental hardships.
After I satisfied their sexual urges, the Anvil team fainted in bliss in my arms. The three of them had faces devoid of fear or worry. They probably knew I wouldn’t stop till my relationships were in order.
None of them allowed the others to use their "John Smiths" though. They snuggled in my chest and wrapped their legs around mine. It was quite adorable as it was as if to tell the others that "This is mine."
The strength they used to hug me however was a bit... No. It was fucking brutal. Normal humans would have already been split in half. Still, they all had serene and peaceful smiles as they hugged me to literal death. Thankfully I was no longer human.
When I finished rewarding the Hammer team, I also finally allowed them to sleep. Though I allowed my lovers to sleep peacefully. I knew that I couldn’t do the same.
The information I got from Carlos and Juno was just too significant. And now that my harem reassembled once more, it was time to power up for me as well.
’Exa, are you there?’
[Yes, my lord. Always.]
’I plan to update {Limitless}.’
[Yes, my lord, I have anticipated it. The planned upgrades are already in place. The new {Fates} of the Sirens would further increase the power of your main {Kismet}. {E.X.A.}, {Armory}, {Call My Name} would be upgraded while {Bestow}, {Kill Switch} and {Seal of Seven} would be reworked.]
’Thanks, and sorry for making you do so much.’
[Think nothing of it my lord. My only purpose in life is to serve you. In actual fact, I find seeing your growth quite fulfilling. It was fortunate that among the many AI’s created by the Nightmare, Aira and by extension me, were the ones allowed to serve you.]
’You exaggerate, I am just a nobody. If you didn’t serve me, you wouldn’t have been burdened by all the crap that I do. Aren’t you already spreading yourself thin, your operation as the AI controlling Hellsend.’
[That may be true. But unlike the other AI’s I grow with you. In terms of specs my capabilities have long surpassed what AI’s like Aira could do. They even seem primitive to me. And if I may, please stop demeaning the one I serve.]
’Huh?’
[My lord, you have a similar inferiority complex as Lady Liv. You are not a nobody. As the one I devote my all to, I will not tolerate you demeaning my master.]
’But aren’t I your master?’
[Haha. Be that as it may, much like you do not tolerate Lady Liv berating herself. I will not allow you to do the same. You are my one and only lord. The one I serve. Your accomplishments from you short time as a Reaper have been nothing short of astounding.]
’You sound like my mom.’
[Is that so? Well, I do agree that would be apt. I feel in equal amounts affection for your wellbeing and pride at the man you have become.]
’Thanks Exa. That means a lot.’
[Even now with you triumphing over the Vampire Conspiracy and the South American Invasion, you already wish to prepare for the next battle.]
’It is because I am weak.’
[That may be true. But less than a month ago you were a Wraith who had nothing but lofty ambitions. Yet even as everything rejected your will you fought them all while giving no quarter. As a result, you are currently the lord of the 24th floor with your forces growing by the day.]
’I guess you’re right.’
[Take a moment to breathe my lord. While you are growing rapidly, you will break if you rush too much. You have done well so far. The change you started has already begun to trickle down. Vela’s Wolves and their impact on the Saint community is one of them.]
’But that was due to Jo.’

[That might have been true, but she only chose to save the Saint because of you. Much like Sacreds {Bestow} and the Anti-soul weaponry would more probably create similar waves across the entirety of Hellsgate.]
I knew better than to be overly humble. What Exa was saying was true. I was the one who created the reusable Sacreds, {Bestow} ammunition and Anti-soul weaponry. As Hellsend begins to mature as an organization, I grew excited at our future.
Right now, we were barely enough to defend the 24th floor. But as we continue to grow, eventually we would gain the power to actually make a difference. Soon, we would have the strength to help the other battlefronts and maybe even liberate the North.
My extremely brazen and arrogant claim was slowly but surely started to take shape. Once I martial a large enough force, I would begin to work my way down and join the assault teams.
’And once I do, ending this nightmare would become possible,’ I proclaimed in my mind.
For all that to begin, what I needed to do now was to upgrade {Limitless}. As I have been exchanging bodily fluids with my entire Harem. I already gained the new powerful {fates} in their possession.
When I thought about the upgrading process of my {Kismet}, I began to sweat in nervousness. This was the one part that sucked when creating them. It was the hardship that I needed to endure when they were being forged.
True enough I always felt like I was being cooked. Thankfully the girls should be exempt this time. But as most of the Siren’s {Fates} were only at level 6. That meant aside from the upgrade now, I would need to repeat this torture four more times.
’Though when you consider how overpowered my class becomes at each iteration, the price seems cheap in comparison,’ I reasoned.
Right now, rather than the fixed classes, I had slots instead. I could have at most three active classes or shift between them. While it did give me a degree of flexibility, I normally still went all in a particular class because the situation demanded it.
I kind of felt my current abilities were not enough to keep up with me. My guns in particular seemed weak compared to what I fought against. But then again since I have been fighting against gigantic beings and tanks like the Iron Wolverine the results were understandable.
As my recent battle with Carlos and Herman proved, on opponents my size, my current gear was more than effective. So, I will hold off upgrading for now. But in the future, I would probably need to revisit that idea.
My greatest weakness close combat was supplemented by the [Combat Shadow Silhouettes]. And although baring the backlash when Exa or I use them to hard, they saved me more times than I could count.
’My girls are good targets but being able to learn from opponents would be a good skill to have.’
I knew that I needed to upgrade my {Kismet} before I left for Kismayo. The defense took five days in total. I made love with my girls for a day and a half. Thus, I needed to move by tomorrow if I was to meet the Astrologer’s deadline.

’Right, I am already in this for the long haul. I cannot stop at this point when I have too much to lose.’
With such thoughts in mind, I had Sunday separate from Jo. I only needed Sunday to recreate my {Kismet}. Using Monday’s body, I gently reach for my Italian Darling. Monday had Robyn resting on my right side. I snuggled Jo on my left.
’Exa, CSS Aki.’
[Done.]
As I succeeded in shifting Jo to Monday, I carefully tried to get off the harem bed with Sunday. I even used Aki’s silhouette to ensure I didn’t wake any of the girls up. They were sleeping soundly in my arms.
I went into the bathroom and got into the large bath. It was a shame that the water was not cold. But it was still better than burning with nothing to cool you down. I used [Strip] and moved to the center of the bathtub.
’[Wizard], Css Jo.’
Immersed in water, I sealed the bathroom with a thick soul cage and applied {Dampen} on the inside. A wonderful upgraded, {Dampen} now silenced objects to a limited distance. With my preparations complete, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
’Exa, please start.’
[Understood. Grit your teeth my lord. This will hurt.]
