Chapter 656: The Grande Finale [2]
Asmodeus’s abdomen clenched the moment he saw Serena’s ’smile’ because he knew she was pissed. His heart pounded faster and faster, almost cracking his ribs as he hugged Lumina’s soft, comforting body tight. He didn’t want to make Serena jealous, but couldn’t let go of his new wife.
"I can hear your heart beating so fast."
’Of course! My goddess wife looks about ready to gut me!’
But he couldn’t scold Lumina, because she was his type. He loved her more and more each day. After forgiving her, she wasn’t someone he held bad feelings towards. If anything, Lumina became someone he relied on too much. She became his soft spot, a weakness that many wives complained about.
’Who can resist getting a full body massage with eight hands, while being deep-throated!?’
Lumina’s arachne body allowed her to bend, twist and move in ways that most normal women couldn’t dream of. Not to mention her motherly, sensual body in her humanoid form was something that tickled ALL of Nikolai’s kinks.
’She captures my Oedipus complex perfectly...’
Bang!
However, the woman who could single-handedly control and affect the entire harem with a single swish of her tail... was only one.
Serena’s ten tails formed a hammer shape and slapped Lumina’s body off the altar with a swift blow. She didn’t show any guilt, with her glossy red lips curved into a deep, seductive smile.
"My dear~ husband." She whispered in a sexy, deep voice, the kind that made his skin tingle, as she wrapped both hands around his arms and pressed her body against his. "I got a little jealous, I hope you won’t be mad."
’Shit.’
Ravena’s body trembled like jelly at the sight of her mother with wide eyes and with puffed-up tails. Beside her, their son looked even more terrified, his face dark as he held the small ring box, his little tail drooping to the ground.
"Mom’s gonna kill dad again!"
"Ah... mother... is too scary when mad..."
None of the public saw what happened, because Serena’s blow sent Lumina to the other side of the venue as if teleporting.
However, the warriors and those strong enough turned pale at the sight of his wives clashing. Many times during their pregnancy did battles occur, and the woman who defeated all others alone... with her ruthless and bottomless affection.
Was Serena.
"Honey, can you stop squeezing me with your tails?"
Asmodeus looked down at the delicate woman he called wife, her eyes sharp, and lips pressed together so hard they turned white. "You’re going to crack your lips, stop getting so angry." He sighed and cupped her cheeks. "I love how cute you get though."
"E-Eh!?" Serena’s eyes widened the moment their lips touched.
Despite being the most aggressive and jealous, this lovely goddess was also the most affectionate and vulnerable to his attack. When trying to seduce him, Serena’s attack power might be almost infinite, but when under attack. Serena’s defence was zero.
"Mmmmph..." Their lips pressed together as the two lovers sucked on each other, their tongues brushed and coiled in a sticky, but passionate kiss. He pulled back slowly, hand holding the back of her neck like a naughty kitten, their long tongues hanging out with thick threads of spit forming bridges. "Darling?"
"Are you still angry, Serena?"
Her eyes closed slowly, then opened slightly with a wet, melting look. "Nn~ no honey." This kind of reaction was why he couldn’t get mad or hate his lovely wives.
Each of them carried their own unique and strange habits, while the most aggressive, Serena, was also the most meek and lovely. She looked up at him with dreamy eyes, both hands stroking his body, while her tails caressed and teased his crotch playfully.
"Hug me?"
She pleaded in a soft, milky voice.
The same voice that made Asmodeus want to throw her down and have their third child.
"Serena, it’s our wedding day, can’t you seduce me later tonight?"
"Huhu, but you look so damn handsome in that outfit... i’ve been so wet all day and holding myself back while you loved and kissed those thieving cats!"
’Ah... she’s so damn lovely!’
However, he shook his head while looking around to ensure no one could see properly.
’Good.’
PAH!
"Kyaaan!"
Serena’s cute bark echoed through the altar and plaza. A single harsh slap caused her body to convulse, her plump buttocks the largest of his wives as she looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Yet her cheeks were red, and she began panting.
"Behave, Serena."
"Nn... yes, Master~ I’ll be good."
"What would I do without you, my wonderful goddess? Please do me the honours of marrying me today."
She looked up at him in a daze, before a sense of focus returned to her face as she hugged his chest and mumbled something along the lines of. "You always know how to drive me crazy."
The ceremony finally continued as she stepped back and knelt before their children.
"Sorry, kids, Mommy got a little excited. Can I have the rings?"
Silence followed Serena’s apology, broken only by the muffled giggles of the crowd too far away to know what truly happened.
Ravena, cheeks flushed with embarrassment, puffed out her little chest as if entrusted with the fate of the heavens themselves. Beside her, her younger brother shuffled forward with hesitant steps, his tiny horns glowing as he clutched the ring box like it might explode.
"Here Mommy..." Ravena’s little hands took the ornate box and held it out with both hands.
She pressed a tender kiss to each of their foreheads before rising with the box in her hand and turning back to Asmodeus.
"Thank you, both of you look so cute today. Mine and Daddy’s little treasures."
Serene’s expression softened when facing their children. Asmodeus loved how she and the other women never turned their attitude or anger with others towards their children.
Even when they fought, the mothers would become sweeter to the children as if to counteract their anger and emotions.
’Ravena looks so cute today...’
"You dote on your daughters too much, give Ryusei more love." Serena huffed, with a brilliant smile on her face.
When she faced him again, there was no trace of the sultry fox who threatened to tear the world apart for his affection.
There was only Serena, a woman, a mother and a goddess who gave her heart to this handsome demon. "Maybe I should seal you in darkness so no one else can have you..." She joked with her silky voice.
"My love," she approached him with the darkness growing deeper, as if the sky lowered with each step. Moonlight glistened across her silver lashes like falling stars. "I once thought my purpose was only to guide you. That I was meant to be a passing light in your journey. But now... I know that you were the one meant to guide me and I was supposed to walk beside you like this."
She opened the box and lifted the band.
A black metal that resembled the endless void, yet glimmered with tiny silver diamonds like stars. "This ring was made with our divine aura... and part of my soul... it isn’t a symbol of divine or power... but my promise, my feelings for the man named Ryuji Vincenzo, the man who stole the heart of this goddess and made her a woman."
The cold metal slid onto his finger as she peered up at him with a gentle smile.
"I promise that no matter who we may face, and how far we must journey.
Because I will never let you walk alone again."
’What...?’
Asmodeus gasped, his heart throbbing like a rabid beast. He didn’t expect to feel such a sudden blow. He loved all his wives, but Serena’s proposal and vow made his head burst into white mist.
His golden eyes softened, turning blue... as he took on his human look, instinctively looking down at her. He took the hand which slipped the ring onto her finger and touched his chest.
’I cannot give her anything less...’
He gathered his divine aura, his last remaining human blood and his demonic blood rapidly forcing it together.
A storm began to form around the altar, dark clouds, crackling thunder and arcs of lightning struck, and he held her hand, a small ring made of delicate black metal formed gradually around her finger.
Across the ring were blood-red and ocean blue veins like lightning, which formed a constant pattern...
The symbol for eternity.
"Serena," he whispered, leaning close enough that only she could hear, "I’d have been lost without you."
"And I..." she breathed, completely stunned at the ring on her finger. It contained his soul and life force, like hers. "...would never have found myself without you."
The two were about to kiss when their pupils suddenly dilated and they shouted out.
"AVOID IT!"
Serena’s power erupted like a storm, her tails flaring outward as she cocooned their children in a dome of divine darkness. Asmodeus roared, his aura tearing through the air as he wrapped his wives and kin in a barrier of sacred blood.
The pitch-black night split apart.
A cataclysmic arc of holy light screeched down from the sky, brighter than the sun and hotter than any star, devouring clouds, banners, and stone alike in a single breath.
The sky fell...
And consumed half of the city.
The plaza vanished beneath the tide of radiance, as if the wrath of heaven was erasing existence itself.
Asmodeus hovered in the centre. His body was in tatters, bleeding, and to save his people, he took the brunt of the attack.
"...Ngh..."
"Oh, it survived?"
A strangely detached and inhuman voice echoed throughout the plaza.
