525 Shadows of the Night

*PA PA PA!*

For the second time that day, the sound of carnal debauchery was ringing out. This time however, it was taking place within Alex's own room, with a certain Raven-haired commander/principle. Hida Reiri.

After revealing his Eros to her and the others from their universe, Reiri's companion Kei, their leading scientist, immediately ran some tests to verify that it was in fact the Heart Hybrid Gear, Eros.

Alex then had to explain how he had come to possess the Gear, as, the last they'd known, Reiri's brother Kizuna possessed it. Then, it was Alex's turn to be surprised as Kei explained to him the significance of Eris compared to every other HHG.

With the backup copy of data that she always kept on her person, Kei showed him the information that had just recently obtained stating that Eros could be used to recharge other HHGs.

Of course, it was only through the two users participating in erotic activities with one another.

Though the HHGs were able to recharge on their own, a normal one could recharge after the span of a month; the ones the Amaterasu team used were special and more powerful Gears, and so would only recharge by about three percent in that time.

That was where Alex with Eros came into play, being able to recharge them through performing erotic activities with the girls.

However, even as Reiri readily gave the three of them the order to do so, Alex refused unless Reiri accepted a certain condition of his. That condition being, she would be the first to enter his bed.

It was one thing if the girls approached him on their own, but them being 'ordered' to bugged him somewhat. And so, he explained to Reiri that any competent commander would only give their soldiers orders they themselves would go through with.

Reiri had readily accepted, stating that her body would be a small price to pay for the security of Amaterasu. Especially since Alex already promised to help them on their own world once he was able.

So that was how they ended up in their current position, with Reiri on her back and Alex on top of her. And, as one would expect from world's with anime logic, this was naturally her first time.

Though Alex had helped to ease her into it, especially with his size, the power of Nika had limited the pain Reiri was in as she stretched to accommodate him without any discomfort. Now, her breasts were flailing wildly as Alex pumped into her at a steady yet rapid motion.

Her hands clung to the sheets for support, and her legs were wrapped around Alex's waist as if to keep him from escaping.

Reiri's current expression was nothing like the serious commander from before, only that of a woman in heat as she chased the high of her next orgasm.

Thankfully for her, Alex had an abundance of experience ensuring just that.

Reading her body and its weak points perfectly, Alex was able control exactly when Reiri came for the final time, timing it exactly for when he pumped yet another load of semen into her womb. And they both reached their respective orgasms, particles of light enveloped both Alex and Reiri.

This was proof of the power of Eros, which had surprised Reiri the first time it occurred.

According to her mother, the world authority on HHGs before she disappeared, Reiri had no compatibility with them. That led to her commanding Ataraxia and Amaterasu from the command center rather than being on the front lines.

The reaction between her and Eros however proved that wasn't the case, and that she COULD pilot a HHG.

This would've normally been good news, but they had no other Gears for her to use aside from the ones currently being used by Aine, Yurisha, and Hayuru. And removing a Gear from its user was a death sentence.

And while Reiri had been concerned about this at first, right now she was preoccupied as she gave in to the exhaustion Alex forced upon her.

"You better take responsibility." She stated sternly, as if to leave no room for discussion as she placed a hand on her lower belly.

"I wouldn't even dream otherwise." Alex stated reassuringly, though his recently acquired divinity over the concept of Life ensured he would be the first to know if Reiri was pregnant.

"Mm." She hummed quietly in acknowledgment, before giving in to her exhaustion as she fell asleep beside him.

Before going to sleep himself, Alex turned his attention to the numerous newcomers they had in the space-time orb.

First was Kei, who was working with Lala, the two Bulma's, and Saya to examine and research the HHGs with Aine, Yurisha and Hayuru,

Lala had already demonstrated how little the laws of reality meant to her by removing the HHG core from Hayuru's body, without killing her. She and the others were now examining it to try and figure out both how to improve it, and how to make more for Asora.

Alex decided he'd need to have a talk with them regarding being choosy about who got a HHG in the future. He could already see numerous women in Asora scrambling to get one just because of the process needed to recharge them.

From there Alex's attention went to Jade, who was busy trading pointers with Moka and Kurumu.

Jade, along with Veronica and Serena, were from the world of Erdrea, which Alex knew from the game Dragon Quest Xl.

While Veronica was a skilled offensive Mage and whip user, and Serena was skilled with support magic and the lance, Jade was skilled in the lance, claws, martial arts, and seduction.

Unlike how it sounded, she was able to literally weaponize and damage her opponents with her allure and charm. So, Jade was showing Kurumu how to the do the same, while she also sparred with Moka since they had identical fighting styles in being kick based martial artists. She even had an ability that basically turned her into a vampire, strengthening all aspects of her body, and shooting her charm upwards as well.

As for Veronica and Serena... They, along with Megumin, were now in Apocrypha studying the different magics they possessed in Asora.

Megumin of course was studying purely Explosion based magic, and was particularly drawn to the Flare series of spells from Spira. Veronica was studying types of magic from the different worlds, while also familiarizing herself with the Black Mage Dressphere to strengthen her spells even further. Serena was doing the same with the White Mage sphere, and was also training with the Lancer sphere.

Eris was busy learning about Asora and the people living in it, either through books or through some of the girls projecting scenes from their past through Regeneration magic. She had also briefly tried out the Lady Luck Dressphere Alex gave her earlier.

Finally, Aqua and Darkness were both getting used to their new station as combat maids. Aqua was surprisingly being cooperative after she had been shown what Ingvild, the water goddess of Asora, was able to do in comparison to her. The useless goddess was now doing everything she could to prove she was the superior water goddess.

Darkness meanwhile...was creating quite a few problems for Grayfia in the hope she would be punished. After the first couple times she 'accidentally' messed up and got yelled at, Grayfia seemed to wise up to what the masochistic knight was up to. Now, instead of harsh reprimands, she showered the pervert with praise and warming support. Much to Darkness' chagrin.

Smiling wryly at her plight, Alex closed his eyes as he too went to sleep. And the moment his breathing entered a steady rhythm, another pair of golden eyes opened as they focused on him.

Slowly, a dark colored feline figure stalked closer to the sleeping Alex, before jumping up to the bed and lightly walking onto his body.

"So, you want to be my 'master'?" The feline asked in a husky, masculine sounding voice tinged with humor.

Then, it transformed into an obviously feminine figure with dark skin, waist-length hair tied back in a ponytail and, except for the black leather band Alex had placed around her neck earlier with a metallic tag, she was completely naked.

Her hands were on either side of Alex's head wth her knees planted into the bed on either side of his waist, and her tits hung down low enough that her nipples were barely brushing against his fur.

Rather than be concerned about their shared nudity and close proximity, the figure studied Alex intently as he continued to sleep.

She had been taking a walk through the streets of modern earth when suddenly she had been pulled away, and found herself in this place.

Instead of reacting hastily and demanding answers, she had waited and bided her time. This allowed her to see this man, Alex, summon numerous other figures, all women she had noted, to this realm from their own.

And then she had learned WHY he was summoning them, because of a being he called Markus that was going to invade.

During dinner, when she had received the most delicious bowl of milk she'd ever drank in her long life, they had also shown a recording of the battle one of them had with this Markus.

They had used strength on a level she had never even known existed, but even then the one known as Grant had been nothing more than a punching bag for Markus.

What she couldn't believe, was the one thing Grant did that DID effect Markus. A Zanpakūto.

THAT had caught her attention, before Markus proceeded to shatter it instantly.

Now here she was, staring down at this defenseless man who intended to go against such a person. And Alex WAS completely defenseless.

No matter how she looked at him, the woman couldn't figure how he was supposed to be so powerful. So important.

All she'd seen of him so far was a man who looked good, and thought with his lower head more than his upper one. So far as she could tell, she could kill him right here and now if she felt so inclined.

And as if to punctuate her point, the woman raised one of her hands off of the bed and held it above Alex's throat, as if she intended to strangle him.

She wasn't going to of course, just showing herself how easy it would be. However, she never expected what would happen next.

The woman's remaining hand holding her up suddenly slipped, sending her falling forward onto Alex's body itself. And of all the different ways for her to land, the woman fell with her lips planted against Alex's own.

The woman jerked and tried to pull back from him, only to have a pair of solid furry arms wrap around her to keep her from moving. And following that, an incredibly long tongue invaded her mouth to entangle her own.

For nearly a minute she had her mouth dominated by Alex's tongue, before the grip of his arms around her loosened and she was finally able to back away.

At first she was scared Alex had awoken, and was 'attacking' the strange woman he'd found strattling him.

Incredulously, he was still asleep. Even his breathing had not changed in any way.

"What is this guy...?" She uttered while her chest heaved from trying to catch her breath.

Except....

Before she noticed it Alex's hands were on her hips. And before she could try to escape his grasp, he pulled her down on top of his cock.

"!!!"

The massive rod filled the woman more than she ever dreamed possible, as if her insides were stretching just enough to accommodate it. And if that wasn't enough, he had somehow hit every single one of her pleasure spots in that single moment, instantly putting her on the edge of cumming.

The only reason she hadn't let out a single sound, was because she had clasped both hands over her mouth to cover it. But she doubted even that would be enough to stifle her voice as he moved her up and down his shaft, repeatedly hitting her in every single spot it felt best as he did so.

Even when she was forced to cum from the movements, she did everything she could to keep from crying out while his steel grip prevented her from 'escaping'.

And before she knew it, the woman was experiencing her biggest orgasm yet as he brought her down one last time, and filled her with a warm fluid.

"I swear... If you knock me up..." She tried to threaten under her breath, before Alex began to move her up and down for the second round. All while still completely asleep.

***

On an island, located in a stretch of sea where no water or air currents existed, several changes were taking place on it that no one could have ever predicted.

The architecture consisted of ancient Chinese, and the entire population was made up of women dressed in skimpy outfits or scraps of furs. There was not a single man present on the island, and the vast majority of the women on it had never even seen one before, or knew what they looked like.

At least they hadn't, until their empress had them build a statue of one.

"So this is a man?" A woman with short unruly blond hair said in awe.

"Men have fur?"

"They also have tails!"

"And are REALLY big!"

"But what's THAT thing?"

Currently there was a group of women staring up at the statue, studying it as they got their first ever look of what a 'man' looked like. But the thing they couldn't wrap their heads around, was the towering item sticking up from between his legs.

It was unlike anything they had ever seen before, with what looked like a bag underneath it.

"So what do you think it is?" One of the girls asked.

"Maybe it's a weapon?" Another replied.

"No... I think it's a part of him..."

"Pft! That's crazy! Are you saying men have things that look like snakes on them?"

All of the women present glanced at the snakes they currently had accompanying them, which also acted as their weapons in combat.

"!!!"

One of them suddenly had a look that said she realized something, as she exclaimed, "The empress said he was the 'Dragon Emperor', right?"

The others looked to each other in confusion, and then to her once more as they nodded.

"And dragons are like the gods of snakes, right? And the empress also said that the Dragon Emperor is a god..."

"""!!!"""

Realization dawned on the rest of them as they looked to the towering object in reverence.

"Just like how mistresses Sandersonia and Marigold can turn into snakes, this man must be part dragon! And the empress was thoughtful enough to incorporate his dragon side in his sculpture!"

As the one girl proclaimed so, the others realized that she must be right.

The entire group then clapped their hands together, and bowed to the towering and mighty dragon in reverence and awe, paying the respect it was due.

Meanwhile, off to the side, and elderly woman tutted lightly as she watched the group's antics.

"That brat... Just what is she doing to Amazon Lily...?" She uttered to herself in confusion.

After realizing that she must've fallen in love with the man known as the 'Dragon Emperor', Hancock had made several announcements to Amazon Lily.

The first one was that when he arrived, Amazon Lily would would swear their unwavering loyalty to the Dragon Emperor for all time. This was completely unprecedented!

Men were not even allowed on Amazon Lily, and yet now their empress had decided that they were to fall under the rule of one!

But that had paled compared to her next announcement.

After declaring that the Dragon Emperor was to become the new ruler of Amazon Lily, Hancock then declared that every single resident was to accept him as a husband.

This one hadn't caused much of a public stir compared to the first announcement, as very few women on the island what a husband actually was. Amazons of course did not marry, and so there were only two real ways for them to maintain the population of their island.

The first one was to take female warriors of the ship's they attacked and press them into their service, before eventually raising them to full fledged citizens of Amazon Lily after proving their loyalty. The second method was for members of their tribe to Rape the men they were attacking, solely for the intention of becoming pregnant. Afterwards, they would return to the island and give birth to their child, which would always be a girl.

But declaring that this Dragon Emperor was now to be their husband? The elderly woman, Gloriosa, could only imagine him rampaging and screwing every woman in sight when he arrived.

The chaos would be unimaginable!

Deciding that SOMETHING needed to be done about it, she swiftly made her way to where their empress currently was, the training yard.

"AGAIN!" Hancock barked out in an authoritative tone, making the hundred or some women before her go through a set of drills all over again.

This was perhaps the only change Gloriosa did approve of, even if it was for the wrong reason.

Declaring that she would not tolerate weakness before the Dragon Emperor, Hancock had given the entire island the order to begin their training anew. But then just earlier, she had given another order that they were to train like never before.

Gloriosa would not begrudge the empress for wanting to make their people stronger, but she couldn't help but to ask for what end it was towards?

***

"One more push!"

"""Oraaa!!!"""

"Right there!"

*crash.*

The pillar the group had been moving finally fell into place, after which a group moved in to attach it and keep it from moving out of place.

"Alright guys! Let's call it a day!" Cried out a man in denim jacket with a cigar in his mouth, to which numerous cries of relief rang out.

"Finally!" Exclaimed one man as he pealed off his sweaty shirt, allowing the breeze to blow on his bare skin.

"I know!" Exclaimed another figure, a tall woman with horns on her head, who similarly loosened the kimono she was wearing to allow her ample breasts to spring free of their confines.

"""!!!"""

Every eye immediately centered on the bare and bouncing boobies while the person they were attached to sighed in relief.

"Ahhhhhh... That feels nice...."

"COVER UP DAMN IT!" Screamed the man with the cigar from before.

With her guard let down, the woman was surprised as numerous ropes shot from within his sleeves and moved as if they had a mind of their own, attaching to her kimono and pulling it back into place as he leapt over her.

"Paulie! It's hot!" She complained, while every other man around them similarly yelled at the man.

"I DONT CARE! WOMEN SHOULD'NT BE EXPOSING THEMSELVES LIKE THAT YAMATO!" Paulie roared at her angrily, making her huff as she grumbled,

"But we're all men here! And call me Oden!"

"NO YOU'RE NOT! AND I REFUSE!" Paulie mercilessly screamed at her.

Despite her insistence on being a man, Yamato pouted pretty cutely at Paulie's refusal to acknowledge her chosen identity, but perked up as some of the other men suddenly said,

"Hey! Us men are heading to the baths Yamato, wanna come?"

Thinking they were accepting her as a man, Yamato jumped up as she declared,

"Yes I do!"

"NO YOU DON'T!" Paulie roared angrily. "THEY OBVIOUSLY JUST WANT TO SEE YOU NAKED!"

"Why would they want to see a man naked?" Yamato asked Paulie in confusion, angering him even more.

As he then got into an argument with the rest of the workers of Dock 1, where they were all working to build ships, Yamato suddenly noticed how low the sun was hanging in the sky as she stated,

"Sorry, but I'll have to take a rain check!"

Leaving everyone confused, Yamato took off from the dockyard as she hurried through the streets of the city Water 7.

It was the place Alex had sent her in order to escape her father and Wano. But, instead of taking the sea train like he had suggested, she was instead working to help build ships with the famous shipwrights that called the island home.

Her goal was to spend some time saving up money to buy her own ship, which would also be custom made by the best shipwrights in the world. But, there was another reason for her not to leave Water 7 just yet.

"Hey, did you hear?"

"You mean the rumors..."

"Yes, the Phantom Wolf..."

"The thunderous crashing...

"All the ice..."

As she hurried through the streets, Yamato overheard numerous people whispering about the latest rumors to spread through the city.

Some were about an ethereal canine that had made the city its home. Others were about patches and formations of ice that had been found randomly throughout the city, despite being a summer island.

She just ignored the rumors though and headed towards her destination, Scrap Island, a little spit of land where the debris of trashed ships and discarded pieces lay.

There, she found isolation and space for the other reason she wanted to stay on Water 7 for the time being.

And as the sun sank beyond the horizon, Yamato arrived at her destination.

Instantly she began to work, throwing around massive hunks of scrap metal and wood to work her body.

The second reason Yamato hadn't left yet, was train herself further.

Back on Wano she had barely been able to train, either being handcuffed or imprisoned for a good portion of her life. As the 'son' of Kaido however, she hadn't needed to as she was naturally very strong.

Yamato wasn't content to remain idle any longer though.

Now that she was able, she intended to train as much as she could before leaving Water 7. Both her strength, and her Devil Fruit.

After moving around sufficiently, Yamato took a deep breath before her entire body began to change. White fur began to cover her, her nails elongated into fierce claws, and her teeth sharpened into lethal fangs.

Her body began to emit a freezing cold aura that created a cloud of frost around her, and froze any remaining sea water on the ground.

Once the transformation was complete, a fierce she-wolf threw back her head and let out a high pitch howl, (metaphorically) freezing the blood of those who were unfortunate enough to to be nearby.

Yamato then began training her control over the powers granted by the fruit she ate, the Inu Inu no Mi: model Ōkuchi no Makami

***

"Order up!" Cried out a cat girl in a Medieval type cafe, before another cat girl took it to its table.

Around them people chattered and laughed with one another as they ate and drank, with numerous women dressed in maid costumes serving them.

Amongst them was an elf with green hair, which matched the color of the small creature happily following her around with a small tray of drinks on its back.

"Twig twig!"

As the green and brown turtle looking thing followed her around, people would toss little bits from their plates for it to snap up, which it happily did.

"Ryuuuuuuuuu! When are you going to get me one of those cute little monsters from Hestia as well?" Whined a human girl with bluish-grey hair.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Syr." Ryuu answered cooly.

"Oh come on!" Syr whined at her. "It's just like those ones she has!"

"Turtwig has nothing to do with Hestia-Sama." Ryuu said, truthfully.

She got Turtwig from Cynthia through the Chatroom, while Hestia, Haruhime and Lili had all received theirs the same way. People just didn't know that since the latter two were now a part of the Hestia Familia, so everyone naturally thought they got theirs from her.

(A.N. Titan sized Torterra with a sacred tree on its back anyone?)

"Humph! Ryuu is keeping secrets from me!" Syr pouted in a cute way, to which Ryuu cooly responded,

"I am not keeping any secrets. I can truthfully say that I have never met Hestia-Sama."

*bang!*

"Ryuu! We came to play!" Hestia's voice cried out as she entered the Hostess of Fertility along with the rest of her familia.

When they were attacked by Ishtar and the Soma Familia, the two groups were nearly destroyed by the divine power of the sword protecting Hestia's church. Though the terrifying sword only targeted those who tried to attack Hestia and the other two, Soma's members were practically wiped out while only a few members of the Ishtar Familia escaped the slaughter with their goddess.

Amongst them was a trio of Amazons that had promptly abandoned Ishtar due to not agreeing with the attack in the first place, and were now a part of the Hestia Familia after Haruhime vouched for them.

Of course, it was quite the shift for the trio of Amazons, Aisha, Samira and Lena, to suddenly start taking orders from Haruhime as their new Captain. But none of them complained, with Aisha often helping her learn every chance she got.

Now however the six of them, as well as the numerous Pokemon they had been sent, Chansey, Growlithe, Vulpix, Flareon, Fennekin, and Zorua, the latter two belonging to Haruhime and Lili respectively, were taking their seats while advertising that they knew Ryuu.

Syr looked at Ryuu with wide eyes from her friend being caught in her lie, while the elven woman stared at them pointedly in annoyance.

"Twig twig!" Turtwig eagerly called out as it approached its fellow Pokemon, leaving her no choice but to sigh as she made her way over to serve them.

"Wow! This place is really nice Ryuu!" Hestia exclaimed as she looked around in awe, along with both Haruhime and Lili. Neither had ever gotten to eat at such a nice place before.

"I recommend these dishes Hestia-Sama." Samira said as the boyish Amazon listed off several she'd tried in the past.

While the group listened to Ryuu list off their specials and the different dishes they had, they all missed the numerous anxious looks and whispering that started once they walked in the tavern. After Ishtar and the Soma Familia attacked, and were destroyed, Hestia had gained a rather infamous reputation.

"Ok! We'll have-"

Hestia then listed off everything that her group wanted, not worried about the cost since she had quite a bit of wealth ever since Alex began sending her things through the Chatroom. In order to ensure things were 'proper' though, most of them had been a few 'cheap' weapons and decorative pieces he'd made in his spare time.

Alex had her sell these items to Hephaestus, which in turn earned Hestia enough money to purchase almost all of Orario if she so desired.

"You should come sit with us when you get a chance Ryuu!" Hestia exclaimed as the elf began to walk away with their order, making her sigh yet again at having her relation with Hestia revealed.

It had nothing to do with Hestia herself, but rather Ryuu didn't want to risk dragging them into her problems. She WAS a wanted woman after all.

As she worried about the future though, the door to the tavern opened yet again to admit a single feminine figure with wavy red hair, and an eyepatch covering her right eye.

The goddess merely had to glance around the tavern before she spotted the one she was looking for, Hestia, and began making her way towards them.

"Hephaestus! Join us!" Hestia happily exclaimed from seeing her friend, however Hephaestus' mood was more like she was attending a funeral than anything.

"I'm sorry Hestia, but I can't. I'm only here to deliver a message to you." Hephaestus told her in a low voice, making the oppai goddess curious.

"In one week there will be a Denatus that every god within Orario will be required to attend, in order to determine wether or not to kick you and your Familia out of Orario..."
