_______________
Within the halls of the Rize Villa, an important meeting was taking place, as the birth of an elite group of people was about to be born.
And at the center of that group was none other than the founder himself, who was Asmodeus Morningstar.
He sits proudly on a throne made from the bones of Rize's enemies that she has slain in the past, the purpose of this throne according to Rize was to make a statement, if not a cruel reminder to all those who visit her and demand a meeting with her, as a way to show she was not someone you can go against so easily.
The reason why Asmodeus was sitting on this monstrosity of a chair, was because it was the closest thing that one of royal blood like himself can be seated on as he present himself with honor, while he establish order amongst the people of his kingdom as the king.
Although small, and only consisting of seven people as of right now, this was a kingdom that will one day be known as the strongest kingdom this universe has ever known.
Well, that's what Asmodeus has promised himself.
The reason being, after thinking for such a long time, ever since he became painfully aware of the cosmic intruder known as the braves, each of which is as strong as a Demon King, then without a doubt the war for superiority was not going to be easy.
Especially since he was going into enemy territory, and might even meet one, throughout the mission.
Asmodeus has decided to make a special unit, consisting of the best of the best, just like how every fantasy novel has the Cliche setting of the Demon King's four heavenly generals, he was going to have something far more varied.
Of course, he wasn't going to label his Elite, as the four or seven heavenly generals, No! he had something better, despite his hate for humans, there were some exceptions like his mother, he could remember the stories she use to tell him when he was little, of the diverse, questionable, and epic tales of the motherland, the name he had for his Elites, was inspired by one of those stories.
In short for once, he was doing something Russian for once.
So as he sits there menacingly, seven people look on at him, awaiting his orders, of course, these seven individuals were Nero, Rize, Necroma, Lilu, Gorgo, and the two living corpse dolls who were Caliber and Colony.
No one dared to speak, because if Asmodeus walk two steps ahead of them, it was only natural that they as his loyal subordinates, walk several steps behind him at all times, and follow him to the path of glory.
And so after a moment of silence, Asmodeus finally speak as he said.
"Alright everyone listens carefully to my words."
It was at these words, that, everyone's ears perk up, even Nero was going as far as to take out a notebook, and pen, as she was going to write his speech word to word, exactly as said.
"As you, all may know, or may not know, I am an existence, that exists solely to maintain the balance of the universe as you know, I go by many titles, that represent my existence, the counterbalance, the Beast of Akashina, The Demon King of Lust, and The Divine Demon, the list goes on."
"As the counterbalance, my job is to make sure shit doesn't happen that goes against the laws of this universe, Birthing Hybrids that's a No, interferences with the timeline, and changing history, potentially depriving Akashina of one her Fables, or soon to be Fables, that's a massive No, summoning beings from outside our universe that is death sentence no question ask, ironically enough I break all of these rules already, Seeing that Nero and Rize is a hybrid, Gorgo is now mines, and well let's keep the other two instances a secrete but the point stands, I am the sole exception, and no one else."
"And I know what all of you are thinking."
"Is it because he is the Counter Balance?"
"Is it because he is the Demon King?"
"Or is it because he is a creature of purpose?"
"Well to answer that question, then I will say it's none of your business, but I will say this, however, no take this as a warning, a very personal warning at that, I am the Counter Balance first and foremost, a father- and husband second, and ruler and lord thirdly."
"Am I understood?"
Said Asmodeus in a stern and serious tone, while showing a scary expression on his face.
And as if not taking no for an answer, he increased his overall killing intent in the room which by the instinct of the sudden impending danger, everyone present in the room said at the same time.
"Yes Sir!"
"Good."
Replied Asmodeus as he continues.
"Also keep in mind, all of you here can always be replaced, none of you are irreplaceable, I say this not in malice, but if anyone of you breaks my rules, I don't care who you are, how long we have been together, or if you are my offspring, I will strike you down no question ask, you can run, but you can't hide, relentlessly, eternally, and enthusiastically, I will ruthlessly murder anyone that breaks my rules, and betrays my trust, I talk once and no more... response."
"Yes Sir!"
"Very good, very good indeed."
Announce Asmodeus with a satisfied smile on his face, as if, pleased with the outcome of his words, however, a voice rang out from the far left, albeit shy, the suspense was killing him.
"Am?!....
Immediately the voice's sudden outburst caught the attention, of everyone in the room, as they turn to him, however, the glare Nero has on her face, was what terrified him, but it was Asmodeus's glare that scared him the most.
Of course, this was no other than Lilu.
And by instinct, and the fear of everyone else in the room, he said.
"Ahh... Never mind... I am sorry to interrupt?"
But to his surprise, Asmodeus answered as such.
"No boy, speak your mind."
Seeing that he had no choice, he asked his questions.
"Am... I understand we have a mission, but... but... I just want to know what will happen to my sister, she will be here all by herself... and... and... I...
Asmodeus didn't waste time replying to his son's questions as he said while cutting him off.
"Rize will leave behind one of her clones to attend to her, so you don't have to worry."
And as if to reassure her Rize grab Lilu's shoulder and said.
"She will be alright this villa cannot be accessed by anyone without my permission."
"I see... Thank you."
And like that, the attention was returned to Asmodeus, as he announces.
"Great, now before we move on to the main events, does any else has anymore question for me?"
Asmodeus asked, making it loud and clear so everyone can hear him, but he was answered with pure silence, and seeing that an entire minute went by with no one answering, he continue where he left off.
"Good with that out of the way, it's time for all of you to officially join my world."
And upon saying this, an immense beam of mana was formed, to the right of Asmodeus, as a line was drawn, this confuse the rest, however, Asmodeus answered as such.
"When I call your name step before me."
"What is this for?"
Voiced Necroma, puzzled by Asmodeus's actions, and to Necroma surprised, Asmodeus gladly replied to her as he said.
"Since we will be fighting enemies far above our pay scale, I am going to give you all, a massive power-up, however, to do this, I need you to come before me, one be one."
"Ohh... So you are going to gift us more skills?"
Asks Nero, in excitement, but to everyone else excitement, what Asmodeus said shocked them.
"Give you skill hahaha... No-No-No! I'm going one step further, I am going to rewrite your entire Biology, in short, you guys will be the first set of individuals to utilize a new power no one has ever got their hands on, although it's only in the experimental phase, without doubt, it will make you far more powerful than you are right now, I will even give you a number, title, and even new sub-race which will determine your rank and status among others Demons, it's the highest honor one can even dream to get from me."
"And what is the new form of powers my master?"
Gorgo asked, intrigued by the development, Asmodeus, however, smiled at this question, and what he said next more than shocked everyone in the room.
"I am going to rewrite and transform the bodies of every last one of you here to become suitable vessels to harbor a small fraction of the former Demon kings of Lust powers within yourselves, don't worry it will be something like my Kuromaru, where a spirit, invades your body via a certain core, as it molds with your soul on a conceptual level, although keep in mind you won't be an Asmodeus, nor an Ophis, so don't expect to get powers that make you on par with us."
"However depending on how well you get along with your spirits, and depending on your sexual enlightenment which I will explain soon enough, you will get similar if not slightly different variations of the former Demon King's special power, as each Demon King has a special ability that was a trump card."
'After all the system is my special ability, while Ophis has Black-Tree a parasitic type ability that is both devesting and chaotic.'
Asmodeus said to himself, in the back of his head while he finish his explanation.
"Also the source of their power will be something I call the Erotic force which will stem from your Erotic Core, seeing they are all Lust Demon Kings, you will need Lust to empower yourself further, so I will shamelessly say get in touch with your fetishes, understand your sexuality, figure out what turn you on and off, don't be afraid to embrace your Lust."
"Now enough explaining the first person, to be blessed, shall be hmmm... Why don't we start with you Gorgo."
To be continued.
