The Ultimate Grunt

In the seemingly endless white space of the time chamber, Zeno could be seen standing outside of the villa with his arms crossed behind his back in a black tank top, green track pants, and white slippers. He is currently watching the Godblood cube produce a humanoid being—or a cyborg, to be precise—with many threads of silver liquid extended out from the cube as it builds the cyborg's body like a 3D printer.

This cyborg being built in front of him is the ultimate grunt that Zeno will be using in his faction. It was quite cheap to produce and had quite decent strength and capability. It only cost two tons of random dirt as a material and the energy equivalent of a mid-class devil.

Zeno lazily named it Geborg, a pun on the word Geboku, which means servant in Japanese, and Cyborg. He thought that it was quite a punny name, despite the little effort he put into thinking up a name.

Geborg is made out of 60% machine and 40% flesh and has a strength equal to that of a high-class devil. What is special about Geborg is that it was made with Zeno's gene data that has been enhanced by Godblood in their biological part, meaning they have his enhanced Sebastian Shawl X-gene and Hanma enhanced gene, so they are very strong in melee and can get stronger temporarily as enemies attack them with physical force or energy attack.

Geborg also has a mini-arc reactor and an anti-magic field generator installed in their Adamantium power armor. As for the weapons, Zeno will equip them with an improved version of Lasgun and Laspistol that uses the same type of battery that he created from Godblood previously. As for melee weapons, Geborg will have the red lightsaber, which is an energy sword that is an improved version of the exorcist's light sword.

So in the end, Geborg, with all of its equipment, will cost around three and a half tons of dirt and energy equal to that of a high-class devil to produce one of them. Zeno wonders what the other factions in the supernatural world will think if they know that this is just a grunt in his faction.

"Something to look forward to in the future, I guess."

He chuckled in amusement at the thought, and then he saw Godblood Cube finally finish building Geborg. Now in front of him stood a two-meter-tall cyborg clad entirely in futuristic power armor. It stood still for a couple of seconds, processing the information that had been uploaded to its brain, before it moved forward and saluted Zeno by hitting its chest with its fist.

"Geborg Unit 1, reporting for duty, Sir."

It exclaimed with an androgynous voice while standing upright with its back straight, awaiting Zeno's command. Zeno nodded with a pleased expression to the Geborg in front of him after seeing that there was no issue with it.

"At ease, now go standby in that barrack over there."

Zeno commands as he points at the gray building behind GU-1, around 50 meters away from the villa. The barrack is quite empty since he just built it to house the Geborgs and store their equipment. Zeno will put things such as a repair station, recreation area, and other things later for the Geborgs, when he feels like it.

"Yes, Sir."

GU-1 salutes him before turning around and immediately running at a great speed towards the gray barrack building in the distance with heavy steps.

After that, Zeno spent his day producing nine more Geborgs as he went outside to dig up dirt to provide the Godblood cube with the energy and material required. He even dragged Zestia, who was on guard duty today, to help him provide the energy for Godblood. Zeno will have to reward her for her hard work tonight; surely some pampering and snuggling will satisfy her, and maybe something lewd as well.

At the end of the day, six Geborgs could now be seen guarding around the underground base, freeing up Ezrah and Zestia's guard duty in the underground base; now they only have to guard his apartment. For the other four Geborgs, they will be stationed inside the time chamber.

Zeno will have to build a factory later so the Geborgs can produce their kind by themselves without him involved. Soon, he will have a massive army to deter other factions from going to war with his faction.

The next day in the morning, inside the living room of Zeno's apartment, Charmie could be seen vacuuming the floor with one hand while her other hand held a popsicle, taking a lick of it from time to time. In the corner of the living room, there is Leila, who is folding Zeno's clothes and her clothes while separating other girls clothes from the basket to another basket for them to fold their clothes themselves. Well, except for Asia, who has other girls to help her for obvious reasons.

As for Zeno, he is relaxing on the couch with Asia as his right arm is placed over her shoulders while she leans her head on his shoulder. Asia is humming a song while she gently rubs her pregnant belly as her energetic daughter kicks her belly from time to time as usual. It should be soon for her daughter to be born, she thought.

"Master, the profit from trading yesterday was around 12,500 dollars, and your salary of 50,000 dollars from your town guard job has been successfully transferred to the account that they opened for you."

Said Klara, who was sitting on the same couch on his left while looking at the screen of HMT (handheld master terminal) in her hand. She is currently reporting to him about the trading result that the AI made yesterday and his salary from guarding Kuoh Town.

"Mm, that's good."

Zeno hummed with satisfaction as he turned to look at Klara, who was wearing rimless glasses and dressed in a white smock blouse with a pinstripe black mini skirt and pantyhose. Her long brown hair is braided in a high ponytail with two gold ornamental hair sticks.

"Should I transfer the money out of the account?"

Klara asked him as she looked up from the HMT. Zeno thought for a bit before nodding his head. Why should his money be in other people's hands while he can store it all safely inside the time chamber? It will be stupid to do otherwise, even if it will be troublesome to carry out the large transaction later on.

"Yeah, you do that, and I will go with you to get all of the money from the bank later."

"Yes, Master."

Klara nodded her head as she looked down at the screen of HMT before she started tapping the screen with her thumb. Zeno smiles, as it feels great that he has so many girls to help him take care of various things.

"Here your lychee juice, Master."

Noa, who walked towards him from the kitchen with a cold bottle of lychee juice, said before handing him a bottle.

"Thank, Noa."

"No problem, Master."

Noa said with a smile as she kissed him on the cheek.

Zeno really loves his girls.

At the top of a random building in Kuoh Town early in the afternoon, Zeno is currently on his daily patrol as he perches on the edge of the roof in an enhanced Super Symbiote suit. The SS suit, now called the Ultimate Symbiote suit, just got upgraded with Godblood to become better overall with 50 times enhanced strength, speed, and durability of the wearer's base strength.

The suit also changed from the typical black symbiote appearance to a purplish black bodysuit with a golden helmet that had two horns, a pair of golden pauldrons, a pair of golden bracers, and a red cloak that connected to the helmet. These additions are Godblood in disguise, so if someone thinks they can grab his cloak without consequences, then think again.

As he was observing the people below the building, not expecting to see anything out of the ordinary, his HMT suddenly rang in warning, as someone had just sent a message to him.

"Is it Himiko?"

He muttered as he flipped his palm upward before the US suit put out the HMT in his hand. He tapped the screen and saw the notification from Himiko, who messaged him just as he expected.

[ Himiko Murabiki: Good afternoon, Zavior-san! ]

She has become so comfortable with him that she makes sure to text him every day. They are usually chatting about their day and flirting with each other for a bit.

[ ZZ: Good evening to you too. How are you doing today? ]

[ Himiko Murabiki: Hehe, I'm doing alright! ]

They chat about their day a bit before Himiko tries to ask him for another date.

[ Himiko Murabiki: Are you free this Saturday? ]

[ ZZ: Well, I am free in the afternoon; would you like to go somewhere together? ]

He smiled as he decided to help her out a bit.

[ Himiko Murabiki: YES! Let's go see the movie together! ]

Zeno chuckled as he read her quick reply. It looks like he will go on a date with this girl on Saturday. This time, he will definitely have to talk with her about himself. If she decides to reject him after that, then even if it is disappointing, he can only delete her memory of him, and they could move on with their lives.

"Well, it's up to fate now..."

After another boring patrol, Zeno came back home and saw Charmie in the hallway.

"Master~!"

Charmie smiled as she walked up to him before hugging him around the waist with her face rubbing his hard abs. Zeno chuckled in amusement, then patted her head.

"Wanna take a bath together?"

Zeno asked her as Charmie looked up to him with a naughty smirk.

"Hehehe, of course~!"

They were not going far before the other girls noticed, and then the bathroom was becoming a bit crowded, much to the displeasure of Charmie.

"Muu~!"

"Shut up, shorty. How dare you want to have Master all by yourself?"

Noa smacked Charmie's cute butt as she smirked at her.
