Chapter 833: Transferred Inheritance
The words settled behind his eyes. For a moment Kaiden just let them sit there, warm and finished and exactly right.
Nyx’s mouth moved warm and slow between his legs, and the four women holding him hadn’t loosened their grip.
He loved them. The thought came without weight or effort, as natural as the heartbeat in his chest, and it filled every part of him that wasn’t already full of them.
Then the system spoke.
[The inheritance has been transferred. The Successor achieved a new Sin.]
His irises bled pink, soft and slow, the color seeping through like dawn through water, and a pulse of mana left his body in a wave that traveled through every bond he held.
Between his legs, Nyx choked. Her pink eyes flew wide against his thigh and she pulled back with a gasp, because warmth, unmistakably his, had just pressed against her womb from the inside, and her whole body flushed hot in response.
"Kai...?" she breathed, staring up at him.
Behind him, four women felt it at the same time. Aria’s fingers curled into his hair as butterflies erupted behind her navel. Luna’s hand shot to her stomach with a bitten-off curse. Calypso’s tail clenched around his forearm, and Bastet’s ears snapped rigid as heat flooded through her core where his head rested against her.
A force intimate and deeply his was reaching through every bond at once, settling into the center of all five of them. The tenderness it carried was so vast that none of them could tell where his love ended and this new power began.
His gaze dropped to the pale windows before his mind’s eye.
’What the hell did I just do to my girls?’
[Sin Stances are manifestations of the Paragon of Sin. Thematic expressions of cardinal sins, shaped by the soul of the wielder. The same sin, given to a different Paragon, would manifest in a fundamentally different form.]
[A fourth Sin Stance has manifested.]
[Lust: The Exalter.]
[The Heavenly Demon’s Lust was conquest. Domination of will.]
[The Successor’s Lust is empowerment. His desire has always flowed outward, toward the people he loves, toward making them more than they could be without him. Consuming want that reshapes everything it touches, given freely.]
[When Lust is active, all bonded allies within range receive amplified base attributes, accelerated mana recovery, and heightened Manifestation output.]
Kaiden looked at the five women staring at him with flushed cheeks and wide eyes, their bodies still thrumming with what had just passed through them, and the grin that broke across his face was the dumbest one he’d worn all day.
’A power that makes my girls stronger.’ A short laugh escaped him, fond and quiet.
Of course that’s what his ’Lust’ was about.
The five of them hadn’t stopped staring at him. Their eyes were soft and hungry at the same time, full of a need that had nothing to do with sex and everything to do with what Lust had just planted inside them.
’...Why are you all looking at me like that?’
No one answered, which told him everything he needed to know.
Lust Stance was more than met the eye. But...
[The remaining Sin Stances are no longer locked behind artificial rank-up thresholds. They will manifest when the Successor is ready.]
[The system will not decide when. The Successor will.]
[Valkyrie Bond Capacity: 3 ➝ 7.]
Four new spots.
Nyx had been calling this since the day she heard about the system, and his gaze drifted to her, tracing idle patterns on his knee, half-lidded and barely there, with no idea she was about to be proven right.
He sat up, and said the four words that would set this room on fire for an entirely different reason than the last hour had.
"More spots opened up."
The girls instantly understood.
Aria’s arms clamped around his waist before the sentence finished, possessive and instant.
Luna just grinned, wide and shameless. "Knew it."
Nyx’s eyes opened fully, and the look she gave Kaiden was bright, sharp, and already running calculations he hadn’t started yet.
Before anyone could elaborate, a knock came from the door.
Alexandra stepped through with a tray of water and towels, took one breath of the room’s air, and visibly reconsidered several life choices before setting the tray down.
"I brought refreshments," she announced, gaze fixed firmly above bed height. "Also... shouldn’t you all be preparing? The phase timer is almost..."
Every woman on the bed went rigid.
"THE PHASE!" Luna launched off the mattress.
[Phase Time Remaining: 0:58.]
What followed was the least dignified combat preparation in the history of the awakened world.
Luna tore through the clothing pile screaming about her panties, flinging a boot that hit the wall and a top that turned out to not be hers.
No one knew how she could possibly mistake those for hers, considering the size difference.
"Has anyone seen my..." She held up something lacy and red. "Whose is this?! What kind of a shameless bitch would- Calypso."
"Yep~" Calypso plucked it from her fingers without breaking stride.
[Phase Time Remaining: 0:41.]
Aria bent to grab her boot and collided shoulder-first with Nyx reaching for the same pile, bare skin meeting bare skin with a wet slap that made Luna cackle from across the room despite her ongoing crisis.
Bastet stepped over Luna with feline grace, and Luna grabbed her tail and lifted it. "Nya?!"
"Are you hiding my panties?"
"H-hah?! Why would I?" Bastet scoffed and with a firm hip movement, pulled her tail out of the gremlin’s grip while huffing and puffing about the accusation - all the while doing her best to hide Luna’s panties under her feet.
[Phase Time Remaining: 0:14.]
Scarlet watched from her perch with her wine bottle running dry and her legs crossed, serene and completely unbothered, because she’d never taken her clothes off in the first place.
Five animated gals hissing at each other while putting their undies and then armor on. Quality entertainment.
She caught Kaiden’s eye across the chaos and raised her bottle. He raised an imaginary one back.
"Shouldn’t you be joining your gals, Golden Boy?"
Kaiden grinned, stretched once, and shrugged.
The Blood Monarch’s Gauntlet pulsed, and crimson energy swept across his body in a single wave, hardening into full combat armor from throat to boots in the time it took Aria to realize her top was on backwards.
"NOT FAIR!!" Luna shrieked, pointing at him with one boot on and her chest still bare.
The Dungeon Master Duel’s interface chimed across every party member’s vision.
[Intermission Phase Complete.]
[Phase 2 will commence in 5:00.]
Five minutes. The room went still.
Luna froze. Aria stopped mid-tug with her top still backwards, Nyx had her combat suit halfway up her thighs, and Calypso stood fully dressed with her arms crossed, openly amused.
A sigh of relief swept through the room.
"Five minutes..." Aria breathed.
Then Nyx’s head whipped toward Alexandra.
The maid had barely set her tray down before two arms wrapped around her and lifted her clean off the ground, the hug so tight her feet dangled.
"What... what are you doing?!" Alexandra’s voice pitched high. "Put me down this instant! Or else-"
"Or else?"
"I-I-I’ll ask Kaiden to help me!" The girl stuttered with pink cheeks.
Soft giggling welcomed her declaration, after which... "Blondie Bestie," Nyx purred, eyes alight with an edge Alexandra couldn’t quite place. She was scheming something.
