Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Though he wasn't too surprised by the development, Vahn had severely underestimated just how much time he would be spending in his Realm for training. Mordred had become simply insatiable, and, though he was able to make progress with his other vessels, it felt like seventy percent of the time he spent with the hot-blooded princess involved them engaging in carnal acts. It was like she was adamantly determined to 'conquer' him, and, as her power continued to grow, things became progressively more intense between them.After a little more than three months, Mordred's form had changed quite a bit, transcending simple lion-like features to develop vestigial wings, a second set of arms, curved horns, and a multitude of scales and spiked appendages. She was somewhat similar to Tiona in that regard, as, every time she was hit with an attack, her [Chimeric Queen's Blessed Body] would allow her to adapt and evolve to counter whatever had injured her.Fortunately, with a considerable amount of practice and some additional cultivation, Mordred had been learning to control her transformed state. So long as she wasn't stressed out or too excited to do battle, she would eventually 'devolve' back into her original form. She could even retract her tail with a bit of effort, but, having grown rather fond of the appendage, she generally opted to keep it in order to justify wearing even skimpier shorts than usual. Every time her tail moved, more than a centimeter of her gluteal cleft would be on display, and, whenever she squatted down, the exposed skin created an almost irresistible temptation.Mordred had learned how to use her feminine charms as a 'weapon' in a very short period of time, so, after the first few days of training, Vahn simply gave up trying to make 'efficient' progress with the vessel he had dedicated to attending her. Instead, he spent a considerable amount of time just 'playing around' with the rambunctious woman, using the training as an excuse to make up for all the time she had been waiting to receive his affection.While that was going on, Vahn used the extended break to attend various other matters within his Realm. There were a lot of people who required his attention, so, rather than force himself to train, he decided to simply relax and cut loose. The stay quickly became a vacation for him, and, after his decision became known, most of the people who had ventured outside of Avalon returned in order to participate in a grand reunion of sorts. Even Semiramis made an appearance, debuting the twins Vahn had planted in her belly nearly eight years prior.Though she was still as anti-social as ever, Semiramis changed quite a bit following her awakening within the Realm. Her perspective of the world had broadened considerably, and, without anything to proactively protect, she ended up moving the Hanging Gardens to a Texture known as the Realm of Twilight. There, Vahn built a massive gothic palace for her, and, after around ten years or so, she ended up finally giving him 'permission' to impregnate her, albeit only after bestowing her the title of Twilight Empress and wedding her in a ritualistic ceremony that involved making love to her atop an altar...Fortunately, Semiramis had never forgotten how her mother had abandoned her as an infant, so, while she was exceptionally awkward at times, she was still a good mother to Ebony and Raven. It helped that Iris and even Circe had taken it upon themselves to lend her a hand, alleviating some of the stress that came with mothering two children. She even allowed Ebony and Raven to spend a considerable amount of time back in Avalon, and, though she was apprehensive about allowing them to attend school, they were scheduled to start their first classes in the Spring.Seeing Semiramis fret over their daughters always brought a smile to Vahn's face, and, though it often ended in him getting the silent treatment, he couldn't help but tease her about it every now and again. As for the twins themselves, Vahn made sure to create a vessel to spend time within the Realm of Twilight every time he returned to his Realm. The longest they had been apart was a few weeks, so, as was often the case when it came to his children, Vahn had a close relationship with the two doll-like girls, often pampering them a little more than he ought to.With raven-black hair, pointed ears, and flawless features, Ebony and Raven were both inordinately cute. They often wore gothic-style clothing, similar to their mother, and, though they were generally very quiet, they had inherited their mother's scheming nature. As a result, they liked to try and pull pranks on him, and, due to the education afforded them by Semiramis and Circe, this often involved lacing his tea and cookies with various poisons.Fortunately, the twins had enough wherewithal not to test their poisons on other people. Instead, they would team up to play more innocent pranks, often messing with people by taking advantage of the fact they were virtually indistinguishable from each other. They were quite fond of confusing people, and, despite their age, both girls were exceptionally clever, able to manipulate others while maintaining an air of innocence around themselves.Vahn couldn't deny that he was worried about the two girls, but, with his limited omniscience, he knew they were just playing around. They also had Companions and Guardians to watch over them, and, though she feigned stoicism, Semiramis always had her familiars following after the two girls in secret. She was always afraid they would be bullied or taken advantage of, but, due to the presence of Alaya and the comprehensive system designed by Da Vinci, the odds of anything happening to them was slim.Semiramis was obviously aware of this fact, but, due to her nature, she trusted herself more than anyone else. This included Vahn, as, even after decades had passed, she was unable to accept her place within his harem. She didn't deny that she was a part of it, but, with the exception of a select few people, she distanced herself from the majority of Avalon's residents. She didn't like to see him intimate with other people, and, though she had gotten better at restraining the urge, seeing others close to the man she loved always gave Semiramis the urge to simply 'eliminate' the competition.Though she never acted upon her urges, Vahn, and nearly everyone within the Inner Sanctum, was well aware of Semiramis' nature. They had gradually come to accept this about her, so, rather than ostracize the troubled woman, they did their best to avoid publically demonstrating their intimacy whenever she was around. Some even visited the Realm of Twilight whenever Vahn was outside of the Realm, primarily to arrange playdates with Ebony and Raven but also to foster positive rapport with the hermetic Empress...---With so many of his loved ones flocking around him, Vahn was greatly enjoying the time he spent in the Realm. Just seeing most of his family and children gathered together put a perpetual smile on his face, and, though things quickly developed into an in-house competition of sorts, there were no hard feelings between the victors and the defeated. It helped that most of the fighting had been conducted within the Virtual World, so, while it decreased the realism slightly, they could reduce the sensation of pain while allowing the children to fight in grand, fantastical, battlefields.By the end of the impromptu competition, Scathach had secured a decisive victory among the adult division, defeating even Musashi due to the limitation of not being able to use Noble Phantasms or Zanpakuto within Virtual Space. The risk of their attacks affecting the real world was too high, and, due to the nature of Zanpakuto, they were still able to damage the Ego of a person even in Virtual Space. Since they weren't actually trying to kill or cripple each other, this gave Scathach an absolute advantage over most people, as, under the right conditions, she could even defeat Tier 5s using her vast, seemingly endless, arsenal of skills.While Scathach's victory was certainly a sight to behold, Vahn was more impressed with the battles fought in the junior division. The scale was incomparable to the battles between powerhouses near the peak of Tier 4, but, in spite of this, they were far more interesting for most residents of the Inner Sanctum. This was because it was possible to see the children improving in the midst of battle, and, rather than fights ending nigh-instantaneously once someone secured a small advantage, most of the battles between the children dragged out for several tens of minutes.Though the junior division allowed anyone between the ages of eight and fourteen to participate, the competition was ultimately won by the youngest participant, a young boy with peculiar white and black hair. This was Vahn's son, Kenshiro, the child he had sired with Kenshin after she decided to settle down and give mothering a try.Despite his youthful appearance and matching age, Kenshiro was one of the most talented children born within the Empire. He had reached the realm of Master swordsman at only five years old, and, though his Guardian was rather weak, taking on the form of a tiny rabbit, his Artifact was a peculiar katana with the ability to cut through Space. This was a feat most Masters and Grandmasters could emulate, but, having possessed the ability from the start, Kenshiro ultimately awakened an Innate that allowed him even greater mastery of Spatial Laws.With the guidance of people like Kenshin and Musashi from a young age, Kenshiro was bound to reach the level of Grandmaster before he was twenty years old. The only thing holding him back was his kind and gentle disposition, as, outside of the Virtual World, he would never point his blade toward a living creature. He firmly believed that his sword was meant to preserve life, so, even when Kenshin had taken him to hunt in the forests surrounding the Yokai District, he refused to draw his blade. Instead, he used his sheath to counter their attacks, lightly injuring their joints and causing them to gradually tire themselves out before teleporting them away.Kenshin was slightly troubled by her son's unwillingness to draw his blade, but, after a few heart-to-heart talks, she gradually accepted the reality. So long as Kenshiro continued putting in an earnest effort to follow the path he had chosen, she wasn't going to interfere. Instead, she began teaching him more effective ways to disarm and disable opponents while Musashi, having long exceeded the level of cutting through concepts, taught him how to cut through the electrical signals transmitted from a person's nerves to their brain. This would allow him to effectively cripple a person for a short period of time, teaching them a hard lesson as the feeling gradually returned to their limbs over the course of several hours.With some of the greatest teachers imaginable, combined with a desire to become strong enough to win any battle without causing permanent harm, Kenshiro was well on his way to forging his own path of swordsmanship. His victory during the competition was just the first of many steps along his journey, and, though Vahn and Kenshin had carved their own paths through a tremendous amount of bloodshed, they wholeheartedly supported their son's decision.Though it was hard to imagine walking a similar path, Vahn believed that the pinnacle shouldn't be accessible only to those willing to bloody their hands. If children like Kenshiro and Asuna were able to reach the top without having to take a life, that would be for the best, as, even if it was just one person, such examples carried great significance. It demonstrated that there were countless paths toward the peak, and, though bloodshed was difficult to avoid, the truly noble of heart could still reach the pinnacle without compromising their integrity...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'There are 'other' kinds of training, you know~?','Some things change, others remain the same','Who would have thought that the son born to a Goddess of War would represent a path towards Peace...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

Though he had stayed in his Realm far longer than anticipated, Vahn had a relaxed smile, his eyes glimmering with appreciation as he reclined against a lavish purple sofa. At his sides, snuggled up as close to him as their physical forms allowed, two inarguably bodacious beauties nestled against his body. He had his arms wrapped around them, and, though he did his best to behave, Vahn was unable to prevent himself from periodically squeezing their voluminous breasts or running his hand across their curvaceous bodies.Mash had always possessed a mature figure, even when she was only sixteen-years-old, so, now that she had matured fully, she had some of the largest breasts among the women in Vahn's harem. This, combined with her thin waist, shapely hips, plush thighs, and toned body made her one of his most 'huggable' women, and, due to her rather dutiful nature, she was always eager to dedicate her time and effort to serving him.Though she was pushing fifty-three, Mash had the appearance of a shapely young woman in her early twenties. She had benefitted greatly from his 'pampering' over the years, and, though it was impossible to know for certain, Da Vinci surmised that the average lifespan of those closest to him likely measured in the five digits. This was emphasized by the fact that their vitality was drastically higher than normal, and, if he pushed himself, Vahn could actually see the value increase by putting a bit more strength into his hand as he squeezed her butt...Feeling her butt being squeezed, Mash issued a subdued "Nyaa..." before looking up at her Master, her purple eyes reflecting an inquisitive light. They were currently in the Menagerie, so, for the sake of 'uniformity', she had donned an extremely revealing bestial costume comprised of purple strings and soft purple fur. It left virtually nothing to the imagination, and, though she wasn't exactly a cat, Mash had become accustomed to mewling, purring, and whimpering in response to Vahn's actions.Though he made brief eye contact with the lavender-haired beauty, Vahn didn't say anything as his fingers gingerly caressed her soft and pliant flesh, the tips slipping beneath her fur-covered panties ever so slightly. Then, with his left hand, he traced his middle finger around the navel of the woman to his right, an equally bodacious beauty light purple hair, an indescribably soft body, and pointed ears. This was none other than Medea, and, in response to his wayward hand, she wasted no time in linking her fingers with his before lightly chiding, "Pay attention, Danna. There will be plenty of time for that later."Rather than argue, Vahn just tightened his hand around Medea's, his relaxed smile curling up at the edges as he continued watching the scene playing out before him. A circular stage had been placed in the very center of the rather spacious Menagerie, and, after learning he would soon be departing the Realm, the girls had decided to put on a little beauty and talent show for him. He was meant to decide who put on the best performance, but, with Gareth starting things off by appearing in a frilly white bikini to attempt a rather innocent striptease, Vahn lost the ability to make such a decision.Gareth was one of the girls that had changed the least since the time Vahn met her, as, due to him taking her on as his Paige, her youthful physique and somewhat boyish looks had been preserved near-perfectly. The only thing that really changed was her breasts growing a single centimeter, and, due to her extreme focus on speed, her legs could only be described as 'flawless'. He often gave her compliments regarding her legs, so, much like how she covered her dainty hands with white gloves, she had developed a habit of wearing form-fitting white pants that readily displayed the contours of her legs and butt.Seeing Gareth try to 'seduce' him from a distance, something she had no real experience in, Vahn lost all will to judge the competition. She was simply too adorable, but, considering this was meant to be a 'talent' show, there was no way he could justify giving her the win. He would need to come up with some kind of excuse to reward all of them, as, even if he were twice as resolute, he couldn't stand to see someone like Gareth being pouty or depressed...As if to demonstrate his point, the person that followed Gareth was none other than Circe, who, due to various circumstances, now appeared to be in her late teens. Her breasts hadn't developed much, but, compared to how 'modest' they used to be, b-cup breasts were a marked improvement. Most notably, however, was the fact that her height had increased from 147cm to 155cm, and, while this made her one of the more petite women amongst the members of his harem, she had a charm that could even humble Goddesses like Ishtar and Demeter.With Hecate becoming the literal Godmother of Penelo and Petra, Circe had been able to regain her wings and crown years ago, so, for her demonstration, she chose to perform a ritualistic dance with a large staff. It was a performance that could easily humble even the greatest ballerina, and, due to her mastery over magic, each of her movements created their own special effects. She also elected to abstain from wearing any panties, so, whenever she performed a quick movement or pointed her butt towards him, Vahn was able to catch a glimpse of the tantalizing sight underneath, a fact Circe was 'very' aware of.Simply put, it was 'unfair' to try and compare Circe's masterful display with the Gareth's comparably innocent attempt at seduction. One was a Demigoddess who had lived for thousands of years, and, though Gareth had gained a 'considerable' amount of experience over the years, she was just happy to receive his affection. She never really had to seduce him, as, so long as she continued doing her best, he would readily reward her efforts until she was more than satisfied.Finished with her performance, Circe brandished her staff, spinning it smoothly and dexterously between her fingers as she performed a low bow with her wings flared outward. At the same time, she turned her tri-colored eyes up at him, an indescribably sultry smile on her face as she playfully squinted her eyes and caused her exceptionally long ears to waggle slightly...Unable to resist, the edges of Vahn's smile curled up a bit more as he absentmindedly gave Mash's butt another squeeze. Circe had always been a seductress, and, after attending her for more than a hundred years, a part of Vahn's psyche had been conditioned to react to her. He was even tempted to separate the two of them from the time axis for a brief moment, a temptation that compounded exponentially when she deftly spun on her heels and allowed her waist to snake seductively during her departure...---Earning himself an accusatory deadpan from Medea, Circe promptly announced her withdrawal from the competition, citing she was already satisfied with simply participating. She stated this in a casual tone, but, with a contented smile on her face and practically glowing skin, it was pretty clear to most what had happened. The only people who showed even a small amount of confusion were Gareth and Hati, but, considering the relative innocence of the former and the rather questionable intelligence of the later, this wasn't much of a surprise...Fortunately, Vahn's actions didn't earn him the censure of the remaining participants. Instead, they seemed even more motivated than before, fiery looks visible within their eyes as they made subtle changes to their intended routines. The only one who didn't really have time for this was Atalanta, but, having come to understand her Master's nature well over the years, she was confident in her ability to win his favor...Though it was rather pointless, Vahn allowed himself to be blindfolded while Atalanta finished her preparations. Then, after a few minutes of being able to feel nothing but the softness of Medea's and Mash's bodies, Vahn was permitted to see a large golden apple situated at the center of the stage. The golden apple still carried a considerable amount of significance to Atalanta, and, though she was no longer bound by its 'curse', her fondness for the covetous fruit had never waned. Even the collar he had designed for her had a bell-shaped like a golden apple, and, whenever she wanted to have sex, Atalanta would still gift him a golden apple with a completely straight face.Since he had already established a precedent, Vahn was already considering how he should pamper Atalanta when some rather lively music began to echo in the surroundings. Then, with a blank look and an uncharacteristic smile on her face, Atalanta emerged from within the artificial golden apple, her arms supporting the upper half as she swayed her hips and tail in timing with the music. It was a rather simple demonstration, but, given how reserved Atalanta usually was, it created a certain 'gap' that made it impossible not to appreciate.Despite being 'remarkably' flat, Atalanta still had an undeniable charm with her tri-colored hair, cat-like ears, and thick tail. This was something she had slowly come to accept over time, so, while there were times when she struggled to be honest with her emotions, Atalanta had come to embrace her sexuality. As a result, even when the apple began to slowly spin, giving a very clear view of the mint green panties, Atalanta continued to lively shake her hips, radiating subtle pheromones that caused Vahn's nose to visibly twitch.By the time the music had come to a stop, Atalanta had made three full revolutions before stopping with her back facing the audience. Then, as if she was confused by the fact she was still facing away, Atalanta put the finishing touches onto her performance by tilting her head to the side and issuing an uncharacteristic, "Nyaa~?" as her tail formed a question mark shape; lifting the back of her skirt to give a clear view of her panties...The next thing Atalanta knew, she was in a version of the Menagerie with noticeably more vibrant colors. A genuine smile spread across her face for a brief moment, but, as if it was nothing more than an illusion, she adopted her characteristic serious look as she tossed aside the apple prop and asked, "Is there something you wanted to discuss in private, my Husband...?"Though they had never 'officially' wed, as Atalanta actually disdained such ceremonies, Vahn had grown accustomed to her referring to him as 'Husband' whenever she wanted to sound serious. It was rather adorable, as, the moment her facade broke down, she would begin referring to him as Master before eventually crying out his name. It reminded him a lot of Ryuu, as, in Atalanta's mind, it seemed more intimate to call him by name than anything else...Without answering her question, Vahn embraced Atalanta from behind, his hands come to rest on her flat stomach as he nestled his nose near the base of her cat-like ears and pulled her close. She offered virtually no resistance to his act of intimacy, and, though it didn't properly show on her face, which had become an emotionless mask, the signature twitching of her ears and the way her tail wrapped around his leg revealed Atalanta's true feelings on the matter. She was similar to Alaya in the way that she basically 'refused' to initiate acts of intimacy, but, the moment you broke down her walls, she would effectively become like a cat in heat when it came to showing affection.Unfortunately, to get her to that point without a potential backlash, Atalanta required bribing, so, after stroking her stomach for the better part of a minute, Vahn lifted his right hand, manifesting a glittering golden apple. This caused Atalanta's pupils to contract to points for a brief moment, and, without any hesitation whatsoever, she leaned forward slightly to engorge herself on the apple, her butt grinding against his bulge with apparent disregard.Having long-grown accustomed to Atalanta's antics, a smile spread across Vahn's face as reached beneath her skirt, dissipating her panties with a simple touch. She pretended not to notice this, but, in anticipation for what was to come, Atalanta buried her teeth into the apple as if it was a gag, her heartbeat quickening as she lifted her tail to allow for access to her pristine, seemingly untouched, sacred orchard...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Paradise','Circe secures the first victory','A peculiar way to eat an apple...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

After indulging themselves for several hours, Vahn was helping return the feeling to Mordred's legs by using his [Hands of Nirvana] to massage her naked body, butt, and thighs. Her muscles had become even springier than before, but, as could be expected, the thing that stood out the most was the small patch of golden fur that now protruded above her gluteal cleft. It nestled in between the two pliant cheeks rather lazily, only stirring when his fingers neared the especially sensitive nerves near the base...Feeling her Chichiue gently massaging the area above her tail, Mordred's toes curled slightly, her glutes tensing as she looked back at him, a teasing smile on her face as she said, "I'm not exactly surprised, but you really do have a fondness for tails, don't you?"In response to her question, Vahn hooked his hand beneath Mordred's tail, testing its surprising weight before running his palm along its length. It was extremely smooth, but, rather than feeling like fur, it was similar to sliding your hand across polished metal...Feeling a shiver run through her body, Mordred laid her head to rest atop her folded arms before waggling her butt playfully and adding, "Even if I can't move my legs properly, I won't stop you if you want to continue. Rather, after everything you've put me through, I won't allow you to avoid taking responsibility. You might be my Chichiue, but you're also my man. I won't even try to stop you from going around and fucking other women, but you're mistaken if you think I'll allow you to neglect me."Though her words were said with a teasing undertone, Vahn could hear the seriousness within Mordred's voice. She had never truly gotten over her competitive nature, so, while she wouldn't really interfere with his harem, the thought of women being 'above' her didn't sit well with her. It was one thing before she became a member, but, now that she had officially joined the ranks, she wouldn't rest easy until she clawed her way to the top.Before answering directly, Vahn gave Mordred's pert posterior a rather rough slap, his expression an absolute mask of calm as he firmly stated, "You know me better than that, Mordred. Now that I have made my decision, you will always be mine. If you want to become powerful, you will have my unwavering support. However, just as you continue striving to meet my expectations, I will do my best to always exceed yours. That is my promise as both your Chichiue and the man you have dedicated yourself to both loving and surpassing..."Hearing her Chichiue's words, Mordred felt like a fire had been ignited in her body, emanating from where he had slapped her butt. He hadn't even used his [Hands of Nirvana], but, as if the melding had calibrated her existence to be more receptive to his advances, a powerful craving spread from her lower body as the base of her tail became more rigid, forming a sloping arc. It was a little embarrassing, but, without showing even the slightest bit of apprehension, Mordred stared back at her Chichiue and said, "I want it..." in a firm yet pleading tone.In response to Mordred's demands, Vahn just smiled back at her, his eyes glimmering slightly as he internally remarked, ("I guess this is about what I should have expected after making her wait nearly forty years. I might have to extend our 'training' just to give her a chance to vent all of her frustrations...")As this thought crossed his mind, Vahn pulled Mordred to the edge of the table so that her legs, still powerless from before, dangled helplessly off the side. Then, similar to her first time, he used his left hand to spread her butt, forcing open her slightly swollen and glistening folds without the need for foreplay. She had been in a state of perpetual arousal for nearly an entire week, so, while they had stopped to rest a few times, Mordred was always ready to continue...---Though he was the one making the decision to continue, another version of Vahn couldn't help but shake his head in mock exasperation as he looked through Mordred's updated status. He had been a little preoccupied during her 'awakening' process, but, after quickly recovering, one of the first things he did was manifest a new vessel to analyze her status and discuss her newly acquired Innate with Da Vinci.Ever since Da Vinci had taken over the Moon Cell, Vahn had been working alongside her to create a brand new system to govern his Realm. This used the Virtual World as a template, and, with the billions of years of data contained within the Moon Cell's database, Da Vinci was able to establish a 'baseline' for each race. This allowed residents of the Realm to track their progress against other members of the same race, and, though letter grades were still used, their primary function was to evaluate skills and items.----------------------------------------------------------[Status]Name: [Mordred Aldrnari Pendragon]Age: 39 [Ageless]Race: Chimeric-Humanoid, HomunuclusRank: SSStrength: 18,571 [1.3 kilotonnes]Vitality: 43,492 [Immortality Grade: SS]Agility: 394 [17,276 km/h]Dexterity: 613 [V: 0.0213s, A: 0.0076s, P: 0.0052](A/N: Visual, Audio, Physical reaction time.)Intelligence: 341 [IQ: 148, EQ: 193]Luck: 13,412 [Causality Manipulation Grade: B]Spirit: 2,493,994 [Mana Grade: SSS, Divine Grade: D]Charisma: SSoul: 4.013Divinity: Victory, ConquestOrigin: Kingship, Vengeance, War, EvolutionInnates: [Sage Dragon Emperor's Pampered Princess(Mind): SSS], [Inheritor of the Emperor's Will(Spirit): S], [War Goddess' Wrath(Emission): S], [Chimeric Queen's Blessed Body(Body): C]Skills: [Clairvoyance(Battle): C], [Mana Burst: SSS], [No-Fatigue: SSS], [Swordsman(Master): A], Riding(Master): A], [Tactics(Master): C], [Command(Expert): A], [Brawling(Master): D], [Cooking: C], [Camping: D], [Sexual Techniques: E]Magic: [Wind of Victory: SSS], [Banner of Command: B], [Shundo: SS], [Koku-Shundo: A], [Cantus Bellax: A], [Mellodia Bellax: B], [Vis Maxima: C]----------------------------------------------------------Though it was a bit hard to look at, Da Vinci's system allowed people to interpret their status with nigh-perfect accuracy. It might not be able to accurately account for the benefits provided by the countless Innates that existed, but, considering few people even awakened their Innates, it was an accurate representation of a person's limits.Prior to her 'awakening' as a Goddess of Victory and Conquest, Mordred only had a Spirit value of 228,117, so, at the very least, she was approximately eleven times more powerful than before. It could be said that Spirit was the greatest determining factor of a person's strength, as, with an adequate level of control, parameters such as Strength, Dexterity, and Agility could be increased without limit.Needless to say, Mordred had become exponentially more powerful than before, and, though she had been unable to reach Tier 4 without obtaining a Divinity, the fact she had been able to obtain one without his 'consent' was an important discovery. It decisively demonstrated that, so long as there were no restrictions placed on the 'system' itself, anyone able to reach Tier 4 would be able to obtain a Divinity through their own efforts. This removed the need for him to assign Divinity in the future, as, in the grand scheme of things, it was always better for people to awaken their own rather than be given one that might not actually suit them.As this thought crossed his mind, Vahn began to consider whether or not he should popularize a few methods to obtain both immortality and Divinity. It was probably a little too soon, but, by the time he reached Tier 7, it would be best to have a cohesive structure in place that allows people to reach their full potential. He wanted everyone to have the chance to exceed the limitations of mortality, and, though it would be necessary to place some restrictions, Vahn believed his Record would prosper if there were clear guidelines to obtaining power...---After several more hours of rather intense love-making, Vahn was finally able to pacify Mordred long enough to get her back into clothes. They had been naked for nearly six days straight, and, while he actually enjoyed relaxing in the buff, being nude was a constant temptation that neither of them could resist.Seeing Mordred don blue jean shorts, boots, and a tube top, Vahn couldn't help smiling as he muttered, "Some things never change..."With her hearing several times sharper than it used to be, Mordred hadn't missed her Chichiue's mutterings. As a result, she stopped fiddling with her new tail, a teasing smile on her face as she looked over her shoulder and said, "You know you love it..."Understanding Mordred was still raring to go, Vahn lightly chuckled as he approached her from behind, wrapping his arms around her body and holding her loosely in his embrace. Her clothes almost always left her midriff exposed so he was able to rest his palms below her navel, enjoying the smoothness of her skin as he whispered into her fur-covered ear, "You're right. They perfectly accent your athletic build, and, now that you have a tail, I can hardly tear my eyes away from your perfectly sculpted butt..."Feeling something firm press up against her butt, Mordred could feel her heart begin to race as she leaned against her Chichiue's bare chest. Unfortunately, the hard feeling was actually just her own tail, something she realized only after it began twitching. This caused her to feel just a little embarrassed, but, rather than show it, Mordred tried to guide her Chichiue's hands towards her shorts while craning her head back to steal a kiss.Vahn didn't refuse Modred's kiss, but, just as his fingers began to breach the edge of her shorts, he moved them up to stroke her abdomen, separating their lips to say, "Work hard during your training and I'll be sure to reward you plentily..."With that said, Vahn planted another swift kiss on Mordred's lips before releasing her from his embrace. Before he stepped away, however, he didn't miss the opportunity to give her butt a light smack, as, for a variety of reasons, Mordred's butt was like a powerful magnet that drew both his hands and eyes.Though she wasn't particularly fond of spanking, Mordred didn't mind it so long as it was her Chichiue doing the deed. Rather, so long as he was the one asking, there were very few things she wouldn't do for him. This wasn't because she was submissive, but, as someone who placed a considerable amount of value in social hierarchies, Mordred sincerely believed it was her duty to attend him. He was the reason she pushed herself so hard, and, until she was able to surpass him, Mordred was determined to both push her limits and dutifully serve the man she both loved and respected.With that in mind, Mordred rubbed some of the tenderness from her right butt cheek as a vicious and excited smile spread across her face. Truth be told, she was eager to test the limits of her new power, so, rather than insist they continue fucking, her aura began to erupts from her body as her clothes were replaced by a revealing set of red light armor. It was actually very similar to the cloth she used to wear beneath her armor, but, instead of leaving her shoulders exposed, a mantle that loosely resembled a lion's mane manifested around her neck.Feeling her own power, Mordred found it impossible to keep calm. An overwhelming desire to 'conquer everything' manifested within the back of her mind, and, with nothing but her Chichiue in view, her body moved before she even willed it.
