You should have let me sleep.

- Overlord Kuro 02 -

Normally, I'm a slacker.

I prefer not doing anything if I don't have to.

Normally my girls haven't been attacked.

While my other Overlord form heads down to the jails, I've been busy working on new spells to deal with Outworld. Mileena and the Joker are going to pay, but there's over a hundred thousand Tartakans surrounding her capital. There's tens of thousands Edenians alone, far more before but their numbers have been dwindling. The Tartakans number in the millions, and because of their culture they are all warriors. They are the very definition of cannon fodder.

The games understated how big the armies of Outworld are... but Shao Kahn conquered realms for aeons, even with his strength he needed a massive army to do so. Really, if the Elder Gods didn't stop him he would have rolled over most worlds with sheer numbers.

My undead can hold their own against the Tarkatan warriors, but there's only so much pure quality can do against the sheer quantity Mileena has. It's no wonder she's been launching wave after wave this way, she has forces to waste.

It also explains why the Tartakans care about meat so much, how do you feed that many starving beasts? They eat anything and everything they get their hands on, including themselves when they have to.

So I needed a way to deal with them... Necromancy is the art of Death Magic, one that I am a master of. It's not just rising the dead, as fun as that is... so it's time I started using it to it's full potential.

Did you know that I can make Passive skills if I have the right level of knowledge? I didn't... but I do now.

[The Ultimate Grim Harvest]

As a true master of death magic, you can reap the very power of your victims and make it your own, draining them of their life essence and empowering yourself with it.

Any target killed by Necromancy has a small portion of its stats added to your own, and you are healed for HP worth their maximum HP.

[The Mists of Death] (Active)

MP Cost Varies

Creates a wave of black mist from the caster, imbued with Necrotic energy. The size of the mist cloud is proportionate to the amount of MP used to create it. The mist lingers on anyone it touches.

Anything caught within the cloud takes [INT] necrotic damage every second for as long as they are within the cloud, and for 30 seconds after they escape the cloud.

So yes, Mileena, group your armies together around your capital, I'm sure it will go just... wonderfully for you. Mileena picked the wrong ally, and now it is going to cost her so very much.

I would have been satisfied dethroning her so she wasn't able to inconvenience me with her annoying attempts to invade me.

I've also spent some time improving my nullification... by getting my servants to use their powers while I block them.

My range, both passive and active has greatly increased... and more importantly? I now have Nullify Magic, just in case Shang Tsung crawls out of whatever hole he is hiding in. I got Nullify Racial as well because Outworld has weird races.

For the finishing touches... I decided to take a bit of a risk. Soul Magic isn't that hard when you know what you're doing, and my own soul is very malleable.

[The Heart of the Realm]

By linking your very soul to the Eye of Magnus, you can access use it's nigh-infinite power for yourself.

While in your realm, or in a realm linked to yours, you have infinite MP.

When these portals opened, Outworld linked itself to my realm... and now they are going to pay for it.

They thought a lazy and horny Kuro was dangerous? By the end of today they'll be begging me to go back to bed.

For now, back to making my army bigger. I'm going to need it.

- Xenomorph Queen -

Scampering back down the tower, her primal mind quickly made a decision as they entire tower pulsed with anger. One of her targets mates had been harmed, he was preparing to defend the pack.

...She'd come back later.

- Harley Quinn -

Staring into the rage-filled stare of her captor, she kept her smile in place even as the more sane part of her mind got to work, the part that used to be Doctor Harleen Quinzel.

He'd taken his helmet off, revealing an incredibly attractive older man with a full beard, his long hair tied back.

'He's too flawless, beard doesn't grow and his appearance was made by design, not naturally. Deliberately chosen to look noble.

"So... enjoying the view?" Harley asked after the staring contest showed no signs of ending, her eyes flickering down to her naked body.

'Not used to being this angry, intends to hurt us... a lot. Hasn't even glanced at her body, despite the reputation for being horny. Rape almost guaranteed, but not until he's calmed down enough to be horny. Torture first.'

Well, fuck.

It wasn't like she was new to either of those things, she'd been a prisoner in Arkham City for a long time, and Miss J's reputation didn't always stop people from trying things. Hell, half the time the torture was from Miss J herself.

"Ya know I'm not gonna tell you anything, right?" Harley pointed out, making his lips twitch ever so slightly.

"I've already found the Joker, hiding in Shang Tsung's flesh pits. You can't hide from someone with thousands of eyes." The Overlord said calmly making her eyes widen. "Can't say I'm surprised that the mad bitch started throwing magical reagents into her venom without the slightest clue of what she was doing."

'Isn't about interrogation, he just wants to hurt you.'

"Ah." Harley said after a moment, making his lips twitch again.

'Her shock was amusing him, lessening his anger.'

"Ah, indeed." The Overlord replied, his hand reaching for the oversized black mace attached to his waist.

"So, we gonna start the foreplay now?" Harley asked, hiding her growing worry. She was a masochist, she fucked the Joker so it was necessary to enjoy pain, but she'd have to try and hide her enjoyment or he might get... creative.

Pulling out his mace, he simply gave her a cold smile, taking a single step forwards as he swung his mace with incredible force, smashing the jagged metal into her side as her eyes widened, a scream of pain leaving her as he reduced her ribs to a fine dust.

Coughing up blood, she realised she'd been completely off on her guess, he wasn't going to torture her... that blow was fatal, and she'd bleed out in less than a minute.

Not that she was given that chance as the mace came down on her skull, her head smashed into a fine red mist.

Dying was... weird. No bright lights or anything like that, just a void as the pain of the hits that killed her still sending waves of pain through her non-existent body... right before she was pulled out of the void, forced back into her mortal shell.

Slowly rising, her eyes widening seeing the red paste on the wall she had been chained to, her eyes moving back to the Overlord's cold stare.

He just killed her... just to bring her back.

'Plans to torture you to death repeatedly, using his powers to bring you back.'

She could still feel the pain from her 'death', her sides screaming in pain and her head bursting, even as she checked her body over.

'Her body is in perfect condition, better than it was before he killed her. She was slightly younger, all damage from her lifestyle choices had been fixed. She was a virgin again.'

"You know, I get the feeling you don't get this whole foreplay thing?" Harley said after a moment.

A moment later, her head hit the ground, torn off by a supernaturally strong hand.

When this started, she'd mocked him claiming that the Joker had done worse to her in bed. She quickly realised how wrong she was as she was brought back from the dead again. Since he didn't have to worry about doing too much damage and killing her, he had a lot more options when it came to hurting her.

Spotting her own ripped off head staring back at her when she came back to life did a lot to help her realise how badly the Joker and her had fucked up. Te crazy empress forgot to mention that the Overlord could just bring them back to make them suffer more.

As the Overlord held one of hands towards her, she had little chance to think about it any more as a stream of incredibly hot flames shot forwards, igniting her.

Her screams filled the room as she found out that masochism only helped so much,and enjoying being cut or beaten didn't exactly translate to enjoying her skin and internal organs being melted.

She missed Batwoman, at least the caped asshole would just break her leg or something, and as she died a fourth time, large half-rotten hounds ripping her body limb from limb, she realised that Gotham's criminals had no idea how lucky they were.

Fifth Death, hundreds of undead scarabs swarmed her body, burrowing into her flesh as they devoured her from the inside out, the Overlord still just watching her with a cold, satisfied stare. This was the first time she begged for mercy,

Sixth Death was more surreal, as the undead forms of... herself ripped her body apart, tearing the flesh of her body with their teeth. It did tell her that he was making a new body each time as she could see the wounds that killed her on each of the five bodies.

Seventh Death, used as target practice as he sent thousands of arrows made of light at her, each one healing her as it stabbed into her, keeping her alive until he finally shot one through her heart.

Eighth, he simply tossed her off the top of his skyscraper sized tower.

It just kept going until she just lost track of how many times she died, how many different methods he had used to punish her for her crimes.

Waking up, she immediately realised something was different as she looked around the extravagant bedroom, staring at the Overlord as lounged in the small throne at the side of what was clearly his room, dressed in fancy clothes instead of his heavy armour this time. Curiously enough, she was dressed in her black and red corset and skirt as well, he'd even put her leggings back on.

"You know, as satisfying as this was at the start? It's lost its appeal." the Overlord admitted. "It took me a while to realise why, but you? You're just a tool, a broken one at that. Just a slave following your masters orders. Joker ordered this, and Mileena put the psycho up to it. You? You are nothing." he explained, sounding bored. "I'm just not sadistic enough to enjoy this, it's just not me... at least until I get my hands on the Joker."

A part of her panicked for Miss J, but after countless deaths she was just happy to hear the pain might be stopping.

"That being said... You. Hurt. Serena." he growled, staring her down as she flinched back, wishing she had never left Gotham.

And when you wish for the normality of Gotham, something has gone terribly wrong.

"Would apologising help?" Harley asked hopefully after a moment, the unamused gaze informing her that, no... no it would not.

"I have some time until my army is ready to march, and I'm dealing with you before I leave. You can either die and join my undead horde, or you can serve me. You have until my army is prepared to convince me that you are more useful to me alive than you would be as one of the mindless horde." Overlord Kuro said coldly.

"Err... just so we are clear, you mean sex right?" Harley asked after a moment.

"Do you have any other skills worth keeping you around for?" Kuro asked, his eyebrow raising slightly.

Heh, and Ivy said dick-sucking would never get her anywhere.

...She'd miss Greenie. They should have never jumped through that weird portal thing, but it seemed like an easy way out of Arkham City... and then it closed and they were stuck in Outworld. Of course the Joker didn't care about finding a way home, too interested in finding a new 'audience'.

Well, they found one, but he seemed a little hard to please.

Being a sex toy for a really pissed off Overlord wasn't exactly... ideal, but she could work with it, and it was better than just spending the rest of her life (lives?) being tortured to death over and over again. It was definitely better than spending forever as a walking corpse.

- Kuro -

Harley is as much the Joker's victim as Serena, in the end.

Once I had calmed down enough, the satisfaction of kicking Harley from the top of my tower 'This is Sparta' style helping out there, I realised I was pissed at the wrong person.

Not enough to free her, but enough to stop the onslaught of murders.

I'm still pissed off, but it's gone from a burning rage to a cold wrath, one that will freeze over the Joker and anyone who gets in between me and her.

What kind of fucking madwoman finds Shang Tsung's lab and thinks 'Imma toss everything into my venom and see what happens'? The Fucking Joker that's who.

Another thing to kick Shang Tsung's old ass for.

I've already started my movements against Mileena, two messages have been sent off to Kano and Sheeva, ordering them to get ready.

Resting my head on my hand, I watch as Harley Quinn starts to move towards me, her hips swaying, I should be surprised that she knows how to dance like a stripper, but I'm really not.

"Keep the outfit on." I order as she moves her hands to her corset, making her pause. If I'm fucking her, I'm fucking Harley Quinn not some naked blonde.

"You're the boss, Mista K." Harley agrees quickly, unwilling to test me. I think it was the eaten alive by scarabs while I healed her that made finally break, but her Obedience skyrocketed to 55 over the course of her punishment.

Her affection is at a surprisingly high -30, all things considered.

I was expecting closer to -100.

It takes me a moment to realise why.

[Fixing Broken Dolls] – Mary Walker [50]

There are countless women who have been broken, you specialise in putting them back together... if they grow attached to you, well that's just normal, right?

[Yandere Tamer] – Serena Lavellan [50]

Yandere's are dangerous... for most people, for you controlling the dangerous breed of lover is all too easy

Both are currently in effect... which tells me a lot about Harley's mental state to be honest.

Strutting towards me, I have to take a moment to wonder how many times she's done this before, and glancing into her broken mind I find glimpses of her dancing for the Joker's amusement, putting on shows for her entertainment.

As she reaches me, she climbs into my lap after barely a moment of hesitation, grinding herself against my still clothed dick, her arms slowly unbuttoning my shirt, before they part it and slip beneath it, running along my bare chest with a sultry grin.

- Harley -

Knowing her life was on the line did a great job of motivating her as she grinded herself against his growing shaft, slightly worried at how unaffected he seemed to be. She would have preferred to be able to strip but she wasn't exactly in a position to disagree if he wanted her in uniform.

Not that she didn't get it, if you're gonna fuck a super villain you didn't do it in their civilian identity.

...which raised questions about how the fuck a Dark Lord in another world knew about her and the Joker.

Moving his hands to her ass, she smiled internally when he squeezed immediately, super villain life had given her a great ass, all those acrobatics weren't easy after all.

It gave her the second best ass in Gotham... what, she could admit that the cat had a better ass than hers?

Reaching up, she undid her corset just enough to pull it down and expose her tits to the Overlord, feeling him twitch beneath her as she did, two large pale orbs topped with perfect pink nipples. They were a bit bigger than she remembered, so he clearly made some adjustments when he made her new body.

Pushing her breasts against his chest, she considered kissing him before deciding against it, kissing was... more personal than just fucking, and she didn't need him to get annoyed at her trying until she was sure. If they were gonna kiss, he could initiate it.

Instead, she decided to slip out of his lap, falling to her knees between his legs, one hand on his leg as the other reached for his trousers, keeping eye contact as she unbuttoned his pants.

She quickly learnt two things... one, he didn't wear underwear and two... it was a lot different feeling something through his thick trousers than it was to feel it slap against her face.

"Heh... and I thought your mace was overcompensating." Harley admitted as she looked at the slab of hard meat resting across her face, before she paused.

Huh... maybe she shouldn't have admitted that? Well, he seemed more amused than anything so it was probably hard to be self-conscious over your dick when it was a foot long and as thick as her arm.

Grasping the monsters base, she took a breath to prepare herself and leaned forwards, first lowering her head to the base of the thick shaft and licking her way up it, immediately taking the head into her mouth.

Deepthroating this beast was going to be a... problem. She was a pretty good dick-sucker, but she was used to working with... smaller dicks. A lot smaller. She'd have to make do.

Without breaking eye-contact, she pushed her head forwards until the bulbous head hit the back of her throat, then kept pushing, the thick cock forcing its way into her throat.

She could practically feel her throat bulging as she fed inch after inch of hard dick into her mouth until she hit her limit. It wasn't the length that was the problem, but the sheer girth as she physically failed to force herself to take more of it, leaving a few inches outside her mouth.

That part she quickly took in her hand, stroking it as she sealed her lips as tightly as possible, leaving a red lipstick stain on his cock as she pulled back.

It looked sexy, and more importantly it helped her keep track of how much she could take, so she only stroked the parts she couldn't.

She was relieved to see at least a hint of pleasure on his face as she quickly got to work, sucking until her cheeks caved in, her tongue swirling as much as it could with a mouth full of dick.

"My lord, may I speak?" a voice said, making her pause before she simply kept going, Kuro's gaze moving over to the door.

"Speak, Sindel." Kuro said after a moment, his voice calm.

"I have had a war council gather, I realise you are angry but charging into Outworld without a plan would be a mistake." Sindel said slowly, treading carefully as Kuro's eyes narrowed slightly.

Clearly Kuro's anger was something new to her, which actually gave Harley some hope. She just had to calm him down and then just don't fucking make him angry again and she wouldn't be devoured alive again. Easy enough, right?

"I know, you don't have to sound so worried Sindel, my rage is pointed exactly where it is deserved. I will join you... eventually, I just have to deal with Harley here first." Kuro said after a moment, giving her a gentle smile.

"Of course, my lord... but I should probably inform you that Kitana has arrived from Earthrealm. She wishes to speak with you." Sindel said, her tone more steady this time even as he sighed.

"When it rains, it pours. She can speak to me once I'm done here." Kuro agreed with a sigh.

"As you command, my lord. Your undead and minions have almost finished gathering, so we will await you in the war room." Sindel agreed.

"The Shokan are still moving into position, and I want the Black Dragons ready to act, so we need to hold off attacking for a while anyway." Kuro admitted after a moment, his hand resting on her head as he guided it along his shaft, clutching her hair tightly.

"Understood, it pleases me to know you do have a plan, my lord." Sindel said with a happier tone.

"I'm pissed off, I'm not stupid." Kuro drawled.

"Then I shall leave you to it, my lord." Sindel said as she left.

"You know, hundreds of thousands are probably gonna die because of you. I could have dismantled Mileena's empire without needing to resort to invasion if you hadn't done this... but the time for patience is over." Kuro said, standing up as he pushed her away, dislodging his cock from her mouth.

Grabbing her by the throat, she had a brief fear that she had failed to impress before he tossed her across the room, landing face down on the silk bedsheets as she felt him move behind her.

As she went to look back, a strong hand grabbed her head and forced it against the bed, his other hand flipping her skirt over her ass, grabbing her leggings and ripping a hole in them. Hatefucking it was, then.

Her flimsy red thong proved ineffective in stopping him as it was ripped away, Kuro thrusting into her in a single movement, his mammoth member bottoming out inside her as she let out a moan from the sudden fullness, glad his dick was coated in her spit.

His dick looked like it belonged on Bane (if she and everyone in Arkham didn't know Bane had a tiny dick from all the drugs), and she did not want to think about taking it dry.

It was times like this, as the Overlord pounded her wet cunt into the bed with unnatural strength, that she was happy she was so kinky, it meant the violent fucking was something she could actually enjoy instead of it just being painful.

Even as he spanked her ass hard enough to make her yelp in pain, she could feel herself growing wet, felt her hips moving back to met his thrusts.

"This is your life now, just a set of holes for my pleasure. A royal harlequin kept around for my entertainment. Your jester mistress will be joining you once I'm done punishing her in a few years or so. I should probably warn you I killed the old jester, he was a traitor though." Kuro admitted as he slammed into her, her ass-cheeks jiggling with the force.

"B-better than being a zombie." Harley moaned out truthfully, she'd look for a way home... but if her choices were eternal torture, being a zombie or being the Overlord's sex-pet, she knew her choice.

"True, I should use that threat more often." Kuro mused as he fucked her. "But I have things to do, Empresses to dethrone, Armies to wipe out... Jesters to punish. In the grand scheme of things, you are pretty irrelevant." Kuro said as he sped up, the sound of flesh meeting flesh filling the room.

Irrelevant? Irrelevant was good, Irrelevant didn't get burnt alive or eaten from the inside.

Never before had she been so happy to be the hench-girl.

As he sheathed himself inside her cunt, she let out a moan of pleasure as she felt his fat dick twitching, cum flooding into her. She had no idea if she was going to get pregnant from the sticky hot cum filling her womb, but pregnancy would mean nine months of safety, maybe more, so it was something to consider.

As he pulled out, she let out a groan and turned over, the emptiness almost unpleasant as his seed leaked out of her well fucked pussy. Looking up at him with tired eyes, she realised her mistake as his gaze narrowed, looking over her sweaty body.

"...Fuck it, I've got time for another round." Kuro said after a moment, barely giving her time to squeak in surprise before he was inside her again, her legs pinned up by her shoulders.

- Kitana -

Mileena had gone too far this time, and Outworld was likely to pay the price.

Waiting for the Overlord, she jumped from her seat as he stormed into the room she had been told to wait in, far less elegant than when she saw him last.

"You wished to speak with me, Princess Kitana?" Kuro asked, his tone clipped and impatient as she prepared herself. This was a terrible idea, but after speaking with her mother she knew she had to try.

She'd seen the hordes of undead gathering outside, and knew her people were about to feel the wrath of the Overlord.

"I did, Overlord Kuro." Kitana agreed quickly, well aware that she was in a room with a very powerful, and rightfully pissed off, Overlord.

Shao Kahn got angry a lot, but not over one of his mistresses being hurt, normally he was the reason they were hurt it anything.

"If you are hoping to save your sister from my wrath, you may as well save your breath." Kuro warned as she scoffed.

"Mileena is a psychopath, and she must be stopped... but the civilians of Outworld do not deserve to be punished along-side her. You promised my mother to free Edenia, but it would be pointless if your army slaughters the Edenians before you do." Kitana said quickly.

"And yet the Edenians are preparing for battle... in between me and Mileena, Mileena has placed them in front of the Tartakans." Kuro pointed out coldly, making her heart freeze over before he sighed. "But I see your point. The Edenians serve Mileena out of fear, not loyalty... come with me, I am going to the war council now and you may attend to discuss your people." Kuro said, leaving the room without giving her a second glance as he left, making her quickly trail behind him.

They reached the 'war room' quickly, Kuro calling them into order as her mother and... also her mother (what even was Shae to her?) squabbled like children.

"We have waited and delayed long enough, Outworld has wrong us... and now it is time for them to pay for it."

SUPER SERIOUS AUTHORS NOTE (FOR ONCE): This chapter is short, obviously, it also wasn't given any final checks. That's because I got halfway though it and had a mental breakdown, almost deleted all of Conquest's files, fell into a depression, maybe cried a bit, whined on discord, then realised that I am burnt out as fuck after reading a link that had a list of burnout symptoms. Fun.

Thee people constantly bugging for updates just made matters worse, and getting a review that just said 'Update Bitch' set this whole thing off. So congratulations, you played yourself. You got your update, and it might just be the last.

I'm taking a break from writing, and I don't know how long it will be. I wish I could say I'll be back in a week, two week or some other set date but I just don't fucking know. Will I even come back to this or will I restart, again. I just don't know.

There's a a lot of appeal to taking Kuro back to the very start, back to DxD and just... start over. A lot of appeal.

I want to make one thing clear, I love Kuro. He's my favourite character, mine or anyone elses. No matter what, Kuro will still be around in some form or another. The Necromancer can't really die after all.

Sorry, but I need to do this since my own mental health isn't what I'd call stable right now. This is my hobby, and no hobby should have you having a mental breakdown.

So, goodbye for now?

Discord Link if you wanna come shout at me: discord .gg/4eMVv3t

Since this is kinda a cliffhanger, this is what would have happened in the future of this story. Major Spoilers, obviously.
