Chapter 107 Era

Era Pov

Ah.

My angel.

My angel Ophiel is no longer here.

But.

In her stead there's you.

A cute little devil named Deva.

I did it again.

I...I wanted to harm the ones around my beloved...I wanted fot them to disappear and...

Ah.

Why did I become a god?

Endless life, grey and repetitive days, eternal loneliness and apathy is what an eternal being awaits them.

Not for a hundred years or a thounsand years but until there's a being more powerful than you and prone to kill you.

Even if one were to find love and happiness in that long life, it's bound to wither together with time.

Not even mortals can withstand half a century without noticing that their lives are boring and even if they search for excitement they are bound to see and reach the limits of mortals.

Please.

Don't smile like that, I know that you can feel, that you can see, that you know that two personalities are battling each other to own this body.

She and I are the same person but with one with an altered mind.

I do not care who's the original or who is the fake one.

Just for your love and attention we are destroying each other.

So please, I beg you to react.

Do not just stand there smiling without doing nothing.

Be angry of what I did to your wives. Be surprised that I called you Deva instead of Ophiel. Be scared that I returned.Anything...just react...

I just took this chance to tempt the other and...

Please I implore you...

I want happiness.

I missed so much in life...

What does immortality matter if I cannot even surpass the ones who die first?

What does unlimited power if I cannot even bask in satisfaction of all the training and effort I did to reach the peak?

What does mean creating a paradise if I cannot even feel anything about it?

Ophiel or you, Deva. I do not care, please be my hope, my light, my darkness, anything...

I plead to you...

My mind, my body, my soul, my everything, you can do anything you want...

But please choose one of us before we become void.

I supplicate to you...

Fix me, break me, use me.

Whatever you do, please call one of us.

The Era who is overly dominant and destructive yet does not have nothing or the Era whom mind and behaviour is reduced to her early years of life yet retains the same of my powers.

What?

Accept each other so that we can both coexist?

...we can receive the same amount of love?

...share you?

I...do I even I choice in this?

If I refuse and want you to myself then none of the two of us can even receive love from you...

...an oath?

...yes...yes...

...you can finally accept me...

"Era..."

Ah.

She called me.

She called us, so sweet, so intoxicating.

It makes me insane how delicious it is for someone to see me.

You are also the only one who knows us the best.

You witnessed everything about me.

I...

...then ultimately pray for us to not try to wither and bloom as long as possible.

May your dangerous sweetness attract no more.

May your nectar only be tasted by few.

May you continue to intoxicate us to the point of no return.

May you give us meaning and us meaning to you.

...

As I put Era to a soft bed I ignored the odd looks from my wives.

After I while I couldn't resist anymore and directly asked, "Why your eyes are so soft on her?"

For god's sake we treated her as a daughter all this time and now you are fine with this?

She didn't show yo-

A sudden realization hit me and shifted my eyes between them and the sleeping Era.

"No way..."

"She showed us her memories."

Edea bluntly said and I was shocked not that they say her memories or not but that they seemingly didn't change at all.

"With this we witnessed and lived the same things you experienced, isn't this lovely?" They happily stated.

No no no, your concept of lovely is off the charts but that is what make you girls so cute.

"I'm not talking about that! How do you-"

"Not lose our minds?"

As I waited their response I only received a smile from the them.

Tsk, forget it...

"*yawn* Let's sleep...I'm tired..."

I ignored their squeals as I congured four tentacles and put all of us in the same bed.

"...I really wanted to talk with that boy and create some drama...ah such an oppurtunity slipped by..."

"Deva I thought you were tired but it seems you are not that tired to think about someone else, do you maybe want another 'seven nights of training' course?" Ira smiled.

"Or maybe you want an entire month of having your mind blank with my hypnosis,mm?" Edea laughed.

"Such good tickets to the land of lust...but this time I decline."

"Is it because of Era?" Theresa inquired tilting her head.

"Eh...uhh yeah..."

The five of us gazed at the sleeping Era and my wives eyes without particular reason softened the moment their eyes landed at her.

"Such a poor girl...not only she was tricked by a devilish Deva but the same woman escaped from her responsabilities." Velena whispered with pity.

"Huh?You are okay with it?You are not going to like bully her or something?"

"Deva...what kind of people you think we are?" Ira asked but the four all raised their eyebrows as if they all asked the same thing.

Obsessive and possessive women who can kill without too much thought, is what I wanted to say but shallowed them and remained silent.

"If you did it immediately we might've killed each other but we started to know each other and despite for a short time we can tell she is a good person, atleast towards her close ones."

"Yes, mistakes are bound to happen.She made them, she will make them and we will eventually make them."

"But we can make such mistakes have lesser consequences or solve them together."

"To think the family increased. Deva have to go out less otherwise we might found that she charmed other women."

"I thought you dislike adding others..."

"Deva, you think you can hide your feelings with us?" Velena smiled.

"Huh?W-what do you mean?"

"You clearly feel something about Era and is more than towards a supposedly daughter, in fact you clearly drew a line between yourself and her for us." Ira softly said.

"But we are your wives, we support you so that you won't feel slowed down. Obviously if you purposely add women just because they are beautiful or for a momentary lust then we have the right to slap you and kill those sluts who charmed you."

The four women laughed as Deva could only watch them and smile in resignation. And recalled the fifth scenario.

While several hour already passed inside the dungeon and Deva and the others already went to sleep, outside far away from the said dungeon a boy has just appeared in the middle of a forest.

"Goddamnit!That brat!Pulled it!Gah!Ben, hurry up!We have to return in that dungeon!Why you aren't moving at all?!"

"Firstly I don't know where we are and also that woman might've already gone to another place."

The boy sighed as he softly plopped to the ground.

"Tsk...since I can't exactly pinpoint the location we might be too far from her.Where the hell did she found that rare scroll...even if we were to sell everything we have we might not even be able to buy that kind of item heck we might not even be able to see one at the black market."

"Tell me Von Ten, how did that woman have such an expensive item..."

"Hah! Most probably the slut gave to her."

"But she could've use it to herself and escape from the demons..."

"Now that you think about it it's strange, no her entire history it's suspicious...she was clearly weaker than you but she used without hesitation a rare and expensive item to just throw us away...goddamnit I knew that there are always hidden monsters..."

"Huh? What are talking about?"

"Aura.She can perfectly control her aura and it seems she is a demonic user the opposite of that slut."

"Negative emotions?You mean that even if she were to feel a bit angry she might unintentionally unleash her aura?And what about it?"

"Dumbass!What she was doing when we first met her at the camp?"

The boy thought for a moment and without thinking too much said, "She was crying and...huh?"

"That's right!Even if she was acting to make the other side convince that they are feeling that way they need to feel a bit of something but despite clearly showing hatred towards that girl she didn't release a single bit of aura."

"But it might've be the effect of an item or something..."

"Huh?!Were you sleeping?! She wasn't wearing anything other that her clothes!Tsk, it seems nothing can get through that skull of yours...heh that slut and that woman have the same high proficiency in their respective aura..."

Thrown in an unknown place, the two could only find a way towards home.
