Hey guys, so every seems to have guessed what's happening to Alex. I guess it was pretty obvious…
Also Magnus won the best Corrupt Primachs by a landslide followed by Konrad Curze and Mortarion…I'm impressed by Magnus' popularity, for a nerd he's done pretty well for himself.
Alright so this chapter is mainly from Alex's point of view. Enjoy.
Question time:
Glint Of Madness: Nah there's no way the God of Hedonism would do something of that right? Wait…
Shashenka: Yeah Annihilation Maker is ridiculously OP and is my favourite Sacred Gear.
Commissar carl: Each of the Gods will play important roles, Tzeentch's is mostly Kyoto while Slaanesh is Kuoh. I have yet to think up a personal arc for Nurgle yet though…
xxOblivionxxx: Yeah it will be fun.
Vindicarassasin: NOT THE INQUISTION AGAIN! WHY DO I NEVER EXPECT THEM! On a serious note, Alex is still apprehensive about everything. He just accidently created Chaos Gods, so he's understandably cautious about making anything else with his Sacred Gear.
Blaze1992: He's neither a good guy nor an anti-hero at the moment. He's just a guy trying to survive for now, remember he still has no idea who he can trust, if anyone. Every now and then it will go to space but the majority of it will be on earth. I'm planning to add other things eventually but they will be minor roles at best, there's just so much of 40K to add without needing to add anything else. Next…rape, I will never actually write those scenes. I might imply it off screen so to speak but that's all. If you want, I could put trigger warnings at the start of chapters if I ever decide to do that.
Mad God 42: The problem with the C'tan is that they have no positive qualities at all, all they want to do is eradicate all life. At least Chaos has the points I mentioned earlier.
Reichtangle: MEMES, KINKY, DEATH! MEMES, KINKY, DEATH! MEMES, KINKY, DEATH!
Azrael-Von-Gruber: With great difficulty, plus remember that Alex just inadvertently created the Warp out of the Dimensional Gap…How many people are going to be putting their faith in their Gods? Remember the Warp doesn't just serve Chaos. It might not be enough to kill them but at least make it so they aren't a pushover.
Guest: You want to bring the Emperor's light to the planet? Very well then…
We have arrived, and it is now that we perform our charge.
In fealty to the God-Emperor (our undying Lord) and by the grace of the Golden Throne, I declare Exterminatus upon the Imperial world of Holy Terra.
I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire world and consign a billion souls to oblivion.
May Imperial Justice account in all balance.
The Emperor Protects…
Deep Sea Diver Man: Glad to see you like it mate.
Nero Angelo Sparda: Yeah that is a very strange vibe you got there wasn't it…
Failbaddon the Harmless…honestly I thought his incompetence was the reason the Chaos Gods kept him around. That way there's always another enemy to focus on since he can't even do jack shit to the Imperium. Remember why the Alpha Legion rebelled in the first place? It was so Horus could win and the entire Chaos forces would destroy themselves with infighting. As long as Failbaddon is in charge then Chaos never wins or loses, which is perfect for them.
deeed22: That is a pretty damn good quote mate. Tell me, which of the IG regiments are your favourite?
edboy4926: Hey another DnD player! Honestly, I did briefly consider it but with the number of ways Chaos rituals are performed (e.g. sacrifices) I struggled to imagine them as being Chaotic Good. The best you could get would probably be Chaotic Neutral and even then that's a stretch.
Alex sighed as he walked into his new home, grateful that he didn't have to explain his lateness to his new landlord. Suddenly as he opened the door to his house the human smelt a mouthwatering scent fill is nostrils as an almost hypnotic music flowed around the building. The interior of the building itself was now filled to the brim with luxury items the likes of which Alex had never even imagined before, in fact the value of these items likely exceeded anything he'd make in his lifetime.
"What the hell?" muttered Alex as he followed the scent and sound to his room before opening the door, only to wish he hadn't.
"Hello Creator, did you like my presents?" asked the familiar sensual voice.
There lying on his bed in a provocative position was the naked form of Slaanesh, the smell and sound seemingly coming from nowhere as it grew stronger. Like before Alex averted his eyes from the youngest Chaos God with a grimace on his face, causing Slaanesh to frown once again as it got off his bed.
"Is there something wrong? Does my form displease you? I assumed you preferred females judging by your reaction to that girl at your new high school," asked Slaanesh, getting a low growl in response.
"How do you know about that?" he snarled, still refusing to even look at the daemon.
Alex then felt the daemon embrace him, its naked breasts pushing up against his back as it whispered in his ear, "have you forgotten who I am? I know every lustful thought that goes through your head, Creator."
"Then you know that this is only making me more annoyed, now let me go," ordered the human in an angry tone, once again shocking the daemon as it released him from its embrace.
The Chaos God blinked as it felt the truth behind those words and sure enough there was no signs of pleasure coming from its creator, leaving the daemon stunned. No one had ever had no reaction to it like this before, and as it examined Alex more it felt it…the growing power changing him, instantly Slaanesh thought back to its own memories, its original birth. 'That clever indecisive Mollusk, I underestimated him,' realized the youngest God.
Upon being freed Alex then walked over to his computer and began turning it on as he asked, "how are you even here? I thought that daemons couldn't leave the Warp without being summoned? Now that I think about it Tzeentch did the same thing, hell all four of you showed up the first time I used this 'Balance Breaker.'
"For most that is the case, however there are always exceptions to the rule. The Changeling you created can also exist outside of the Warp without a host. As for us, we can leave the Warp anytime we wish however, it is extremely taxing and we can never display our true power unless there is an opening into the Warp present," explained the Chaos God, still with a confused expression on its face.
"I see, well I guess there's that to be thankful of," sighed the human, and Slaanesh just walked back to the bed with wide eyes as it stared at the human. "So why didn't you come out of the Warp more often then? I never really heard stories about any of you leaving it, most of the time you leave it to your followers."
"It's too dangerous. When we leave our realms within the Warp it makes it vulnerable to the other three Gods. We would happily take advantage of an absence God to damage his realm. However, that has changed recently," explained the youngest God.
"How so?" questioned the human with a frown.
"Because of you Creator, we have to protect you and that's easier Undivided than with each of us backstabbing each other. In that sense you unified Chaos, sure we still hate each other but as long as you live we won't act on it," informed Slaanesh with a shrug.
'Shit! I was counting on them infighting with each other…there goes the plan to deal with Nurgle using the Changeling. Damn it!' growled Alex as he discarded yet another plan. Sighing the human decided to just sit down on his desk and start his experiment.
"Alright let's get this started, this is video dairy entry number one. Apparently these videos are meant to help people with experiments and can be used to observe any change in psyche over time…not to mention it's meant to help keep people sane," stated Alex as he started up his video recording equipment, trying to ignore the gaze of the Chaos God watching him.
"Prior to this experiment I performed a personality, morality and ethics test, which the results can be found in the attached file. This first test will be an experiment into the Tyranid's Hive Mind, for this test I will be creating a Genestealer, due to their relative independence from the normal Hive Mind it should lessen the strain of it on my psyche…supposedly," stated the human as a shadow spread out from his body.
Instantly Alex felt an alien consciousness form around the outskirts of his mind as the Genestealer emerged from within the dark abyss and stood to face him. The human then felt the alien consciousness begin to probe his mind, however it didn't fell aggressive. In fact, it almost seemed to remind him of a puppy, seeking attention from its master as the Genestealer began examining its surroundings.
Upon seeing Slaanesh, the Tyranid immediately screeched and placed itself between the Chaos God and its master. Instantly the puppy was gone and replaced by a rage filled snarling wolf, the aggression at such a level that it almost overwhelmed Alex's mind. Realizing the problem Slaanesh decided that this was its que to leave and vanished to thin air.
As the aggression finally died down and the Genestealer returned its attention back to Alex, the puppy sensation once again filled his mind. Deciding that he'd done enough experimenting for today Alex tried to absorb the Tyranid back into his shadow, only to find it impossible to reabsorb the creature back into the abyss.
After trying for another thirty minutes to absorb the Genestealer back into himself Alex sighed as he gave up and turned back to the still recording video camera. "An important development, it appears that Tyranids cannot be reabsorbed back into the Sacred Gear like the living miniatures were able to. Whether this is restricted solely to Tyranids or anything created by the Sacred Gear is still to be determined," concluded the human before shutting off the equipment and heading off to bed.
Unfortunately, it wasn't long before the alien consciousness once again probed his mind, causing him to groan in exasperation as he turned to face the Tyranid. Alex then took a minute to realize something, the Genestealer didn't scare him. Even though the xeno was terrifying to look at the human found that he felt calm and safe around it. 'Probably the puppy feeling I got from it,' he decided and once again felt the attention seeking probe.
"Look I'm too tired and busy to deal with this, you'll just have to take care of yourself for a while," informed the human.
Instantly the probe in his mind stopped and he felt the alien presence recede from his mind until it became undetectable, making Alex blink in surprise. Now having peace and quiet once again in his mind, the human sighed in relief as he drifted off to sleep.
The Genestealer watched as the human fell asleep before making its way towards the door, following the orders given to it. The Hive Mind had told it to take care of itself, and so it would, it would follow its instincts and prepare the world for consumption by the Hive Mind.
Off in the distance the Tyranid saw a lone human female walking down the street by itself, instantly the Genestealer began following her. Kiyome Abe shuddered as a bad feeling began spreading throughout her body before she pushed it aside, only for darkness to claim her as she felt something smash into her and a sharp pain pierce her body.
As the morning finally approached Alex awoke to see the Genestealer missing, frowning he tried to reach out to it with his mind. Upon doing so he felt nothing and instantly his blood ran cold, did it just disappear over time? He hoped so…the alternative was something much worse.
'Damn it, I should have just made a Hormagaunt and risked a full integration into a Hive Mind, I'm not making that mistake again. Next time, I'll have the Changeling watch over the test subjects while I sleep. I'll need to come up with containment protocols but for now I'll keep an eye out for any unusual activity just to be safe,' decided the human, hoping that he hadn't just caused a Genestealer infestation, he had enough to deal with as it was.
Alex then made a mental note to always dispose of any Tyranid test subjects he made from now on and then set about getting ready for school. His mind eventually moving on to planning how to get the Orks into Khorne's realm as he entered the school gate.
Alex breathed a sigh of relief as he heard the ending school bell ring and began collecting his books and homework, trying to ignore the feeling of girls staring lustfully at him. "Did Kiyome seem…off today?" muttered a quiet voice of one of the boys.
"Now that you mention it, she did seem to be in a bit of a daze. Plus, I heard that she finally accepted a date, damn that lucky guy that snagged her," growled another.
"I don't know man, for some reason she's giving me the creeps. Honestly he's welcome to her," replied a third.
Upon hearing this Alex blinked as he moved closer in order to hear anymore conversations between the group of boys. 'It's probably a coincidence, just school gossip…but just to be safe I'll ask around about her later. See if this really is out of character for her,' he frowned, before hearing the others speak up again.
"Hey did you hear what's happening in Kyoto?" muttered one of the male students.
"Yeah, heaps of people have gone missing in Kyoto over the past couple of days. Apparently the cops have told everyone to lock their doors and not to stay out late," replied another.
Upon hearing this Alex was intrigued but before he could ask the student about Kyoto he felt a hand tap him on the shoulder. "Alex do you have some free time available right now?" asked a female voice, causing the human in question to raise his head up from his desk and turn to see Sona and Tsubaki standing before him.
"Sure Souna, I was about to head home anyway. Is there something wrong?" he asked, curiously.
"Not at all, I would just like to discuss some important matters with you. Could you follow us to the Student Council Office?" she requested, ignoring the shocked looks sent their way by the other students at the lack of respect Alex was showing their President.
"After you," replied Alex as he got up from his desk and followed the two of them.
Once they arrived Alex blinked in surprise at seeing the entire Student Council arrayed before him, however the thing that caught his attention the most was expensive ebony and ivory chess set in the corner. The human gave a low whistle of appreciation, realizing just how valuable it was and from the looks of it, it clearly wasn't just for display.
"Do you play chess?" asked Souna, noticing his stare and snapping Alex back to the present.
The human just shook his head before sitting down in the seat opposite to Souna, "a little but I'm afraid that I'm not very good at it, plus I find that the emphasis placed on it as a method for teaching strategy is overhyped."
"Oh? And what makes you say that?" questioned an intrigued Souna, her eyebrows raising as she stared at him with an expectant expression.
"Well…in a real battle you never have equal forces at your disposal, you never know how many pieces the enemy has, hell there isn't even a restriction on how and when a piece can move and attack. Chess is good for the basics of strategy but not much else in my opinion," answered the human with a shrug.
"I suppose you have a point there," admitted the Student Council President.
"Not that I'm not enjoying this debate but…why exactly did you call me here Souna?" he asked, making a sigh escape her.
"This meeting serves two purposes, first I wanted to check in on you and see how you were settling into school life. After all, it must be odd to be living in a new country," replied Souna, surprising Alex as she switched from Japanese to English.
"It's not too bad, the students seem nice enough…well the ones who aren't glaring holes in the back of my head or wetting themselves by merely looking at me," sighed the human with a tired expression.
"Are you sure? If you don't want to talk to us about it, then I can schedule a counselling session?" offered the Student Council President.
"Souna really I'm fine, what's brought this on?" he asked, in confusion.
"I was informed by the school faculty about what happened in your home…to think that a massacre of that magnitude could occur like that. I hope none of your family were caught in it," replied Souna, staring at him in the eyes as the rest of the Student Council tensed waiting on the response.
If it seemed as if he knew something about that massacre…then they would take appropriate actions regardless of the consequences.
"Oh that…thankfully my family was living in a different part of town. I called them on the plane over to check on them and everything's fine with them…thank God," breathed the oblivious Alex in relief, not noticing the small flinches from some of the members of the Council at the mention of God.
Upon seeing the relief in his eyes Souna nodded before a small smile spread across her face, "well now that that's settled we can move on to the second purpose of this meeting."
"Second purpose?" repeated Alex, noticing all the other members of the Student Council slumping into a relaxed stance.
Souna nodded, "yes second purpose…tell me Alex are you a religious man?"
Instantly Alex froze as Kokabiel's words echoed once again throughout his mind before he shook his head, 'it could be a coincidence.' Once again shrugging his shoulders Alex replied, "not really, I prefer putting my faith in science."
"Admirable, but in this situation that's not ideal," replied Souna as she stood up from her chair. "Allow me to introduce myself properly, my name is Sona Sitri, Devil and one of heiresses of the 72 Pillars Clan."
'First Fallen Angels and now Devils, well I did suspect them of not being normal humans but this is way worse then what I expected,' thought the human with a frown.
"So you're telling me that you are all Devils?" asked Alex in confusion, getting a nod from all the Student Council as their Devil wings popped out from their backs and instantly Alex's body grew tense.
"So what do Devils want with me? My soul? If so I'm afraid it has unfortunately already been claimed," he smirked, even as the Chaos symbol began sending pain throughout his arm.
"We don't do that anymore, no instead I wanted to offer you a place in my peerage," replied the Devil.
"Peerage?" frowned the human.
"A peerage is a group of Devils that are usually reincarnated from other races by a high class Devil to be their Servants," explained the Sitri heiress.
"You mean that you want me to give up my humanity?" questioned Alex.
"Yes, only Devils can be a part of a peerage. If you accept then you'll have to be reincarnated into my Servant," answered the Sitri heiress.
"You mean slave," pointed out the human, getting a sigh from Sona.
"I'll admit the system isn't perfect…but you can raise your status through great determination and hard work. I don't expect you to answer now of course but I just wanted you to know the offer is open," admitted the King.
"Putting aside the blatant acts of slavery being committed before me; why exactly do you want me in your peerage?" asked the human with raised eyebrows.
"Because I think you have a Sacred Gear, or at least some special power bestowed upon you," she replied, causing his blood to run cold.
'Sacred Gear? Now where have a heard that before,' thought Alex, sarcastically to himself. He then plastered a curious expression on his face as he tried to hide his growing worry.
"A Sacred Gear? What's that? And why do you think I have one?" he asked, cocking his head to the side as a frown crossed his face.
Sona nodded at his question, "I don't know for certain that you have one, but the power you have isn't normal for a human, so it is the most likely culprit. As for what a Sacred Gear is, basically it's an artifact made by the Biblical God for humans."
"What do they do?" questioned Alex, happy that he could finally get some definitive answers.
The heiress pushed her glasses up on her face before replying, "it depends on the Sacred Gear in question. While every Sacred Gear is powerful…the Longinus' are the ones that can turn a human into a one-man army with their power."
"Longinus…you mean the spear that pierced Jesus Christ?" blinked the human.
After nearly being killed by a Fallen Angel, Alex had decided to actually pick up and read the bible for the first time in years, not to mention the research he had done online. There were some disturbing things in the bible if you actually bothered to sit down and read it…
Alex was snapped from his thoughts as Sona continued, "while the true 'Longinus' is part of this category, the term Longinus itself is used to describe the thirteen most powerful Sacred Gears. The first is the true Longinus, the second is Annihilation Maker, the third is-"
"Annihilation Maker?" repeated Alex, trying to mask his curiosity with confusion.
Sona's expression grew dark and a shudder escaped the Devil, "the second strongest Sacred Gear ever constructed by the Biblical God. It is able to create whatever the user can imagine, and is the single most dangerous Longinus to exist."
"Why? I mean wouldn't the strongest be the most dangerous?" questioned Alex in genuine confusion.
"While the true Longinus is incredibly dangerous, it is also predictable. We know its strengths and weaknesses, we know what to expect from its wielders but Annihilation Maker…that is something completely different," replied the Student Council President.
"By its very nature it has no limits, only the imagination of the user restricts that Sacred Gear. Think about it, if a human imagines a being of God-like power then he can create it as his servant. Now imagine creating an army out of these creatures…that Sacred Gear could single handedly allow its user to take over the world if left alone," informed Sona, getting a nod from Alex before the human frowned.
"You sound as if you're speaking from experience," replied Alex, raising an eyebrow at the Devil.
Sona just sighed, "I personally haven't but my sister told me stories of the last wielder and his army…from the minuscule things she told me, the violence from it eclipsed even the most of deadliest bloodbaths in the Great Supernatural War."
"Was it really that bad?" scoffed the human.
The Devil frowned at his tone of disbelief, "what do you know of H.P. Lovecraft?"
This time it was Alex's turn to frown, "you mean the writer? Not much, he wrote about cosmic entities that could drive a man insane just from gazing upon them."
'A lot like the Chaos Gods in that sense actually,' thought the human with as his frown deepened.
Sona nodded grimly at his response, "he's also the previous wielder of Annihilation Maker."
Instantly Alex's eyes widened in horror at this revelation before he too shuddered, "you mean that he actually created Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep-"
"Yes, and all other manner of horrors for us to fight, in fact it was the only time the three factions ever worked together since the sealing of Ddraig and Albion. Even then we weren't able to kill all of them but rather drive them away and into hiding," informed the Devil King.
'Jesus and I thought I'd fucked up…' thought Alex in horror as he briefly glanced at his right hand, hiding the Chaos tattoo. Still, creating the Chaos Gods wasn't much of a better alternative but at least there were some positive aspects of them…
"Which is why there is now a standing policy to eliminate any Annihilation Maker wielders on sight," informed Sona, suddenly snapping Alex from his inner thoughts.
"Eliminate? Isn't that a bit much, you could just control them or contain them. You're killing them for a crime they didn't even commit," growled Alex, getting a surprised look from Sona.
"No, it's too dangerous to let them live. If we captured them, it would just breed hostility and give them more incentive and opportunity to recreate the events of the past," answered the heiress, her expression darkening.
'Well, I guess that answers the question of who I can trust…' thought the human even as he tried to keep a lid on his rising temper, feeling the Chaos symbol beginning to glow.
"I see, if that's how you think then I'm sorry Sona…but I will not be joining your peerage, or any Devil's for that matter. Anyone who would agree with murdering innocents like that is someone who I don't want to serve," replied Alex, causing a shocked expression to cross all their faces as he stood up from his chair and left the room.
"Well that didn't go as planned," muttered Saji, only to shut his mouth at the glare Sona sent his way.
The Sitri heiress frowned, it had been going so well until she mentioned Annihilation Maker. But the way he reacted…that was far too emotional for a non-related human. Either he had been in a situation similar or…no it wasn't possible, was it?
"Kaichou? Is something wrong?" asked Saji in concern.
The Sitri heiress said nothing before she shook her head, "it's nothing Saji, just a silly thought that's all."
No one said anything as the Sitri heiress silently decided to meet with Rias when she was done dealing with the Fallen Angels…after all they might have a slightly bigger problem to deal with if her suspicions proved right.
Alex took a deep breath as he felt the wind blowing on his face and lay down on his balcony before a deep sigh escaped him, "so I'm a walking dead man huh? Great…fucking Sacred Gear."
"Creator? Is there a reason you are here?" asked the sensual voice, making Alex sigh even deeper as he saw the Chaos tattoo once again begin glowing a deep red.
"And the good news just keeps coming…" groaned the human before he shook his head.
"Slaanesh, I thought I'd just enjoy the sky tonight, after all it's rare to see a night as clear as this. There's something incredibly beautiful about the stars, almost like jewels beckoning us to come collect them with their beauty," muttered the human as a calming feeling washed over him despite the company he now had.
Alex had expected a response from the youngest Chaos God as he felt it sit down beside him and stare at him, instead he got a deep silence and as he turned to face Slaanesh he saw what could only be confusion on its face.
"Creator, I don't understand you," admitted the Lord of Excess as it turned away from him to face the stars. "You're sitting with someone so beautiful that many have killed to even get a glimpse of and yet instead of even looking at me you focus on the stars."
The human frowned as he shrugged, "there's an old human saying Slaanesh, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder.' I guess these stars just appeal to me more than you do."
"BUT THEY ARE NOT PERFECT!" shouted the Chaos God as the earth trembled slightly from its outburst.
Alex's eyes widened at the unexpected anger from the God, 'almost as if it's having a temper tantrum…no way I know that it's the youngest of the Gods…but that's still a nearly 10 millennia old.' Oblivious to the human's thoughts Slaanesh continued on it tirade as it pointed towards the stars again, seeming to lower its voice as it continued.
"Look at that star, it is in the wrong position. It needs to be another six millimeters to the left in order to be in the perfect position to compliment the other stars perfectly. And that one over there, it is six millimeters too small, the sky is imperfect! So how? How can that be more alluring than me, the embodiment of perfection!" questioned Slaanesh as it turned to face the human before it.
"Sometimes…imperfections can be even more beautiful than the most flawless piece of art. They contrast and compliment the rest of the picture, allowing the true beauty of the image to shine through," replied Alex in a soft voice, only to yelp as Slaanesh grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the ground.
"You're lying! Nothing is more beautiful then perfection!" spat the God, glaring at the human before it.
"I won't deny that striving for perfection is a good thing…but Slaanesh there is no such thing as perfection. The minute you think you've reached perfection then you stagnant, you lose that driving force that made you so effective…so beautiful. In that sense…perfection is an ugly thing," coughed out the human, even as he felt the grip on his throat tighten.
The God growled before the Chaos tattoo on Alex's hand emitted a bright glow and Slaanesh found itself being thrown backwards from an invisible force as the human fell to the ground. As Alex got up from the ground he noticed what seemed like desperation appear on the Lord of Excess' face as it turned its naked female daemonic form to him, his eyes now emitting an eldritch glow as they narrowed on the younger God.
"Why? I was born from you! I should be the embodiment of perfection in your mind! I should be beautiful to your eyes! So why is it that you can barely stand to look at me? Tzeentch, Nurgle, even that brute Khorne you can freely look at. So why?! Why do your eyes retain such disgust when you gaze upon me!" muttered the daemon.
"Beauty and perfection are not synonymous Slaanesh. You're right that in my mind you are the embodiment of perfection…but to me perfection is an ugly thing, you are an ugly thing," replied the human in a cold tone.
Again confusion appeared on the youngest God's face as it gripped its head, "this pain…why doesn't feel good? I feel hurt and yet there is no pleasure from it? I'm the master of pain and pleasure, the Lord of Excess…so why does this pain not fill me with joy? Why do you now have pain and pity in your eyes?"
"You might be the master of pain and pleasure Slaanesh…but there is some pain that no one benefits from. Not the victim, not the inflictor, not the bystanders, there is some pain that should never be caused…and for that you have my apologies."
"What are you talking about?" questioned the God.
"It's a human thing, I don't expect you to understand," sighed Alex as he shook his head.
The Chaos God just looked at him in surprise before it started laughing slightly, "a human thing? You mean you haven't realized it yet? Creator, eventually you'll have to face the truth and when you do…I wonder how your hypocritical human philosophy will deal with it."
Alex just frowned as he heard this but before the human could asked what the Chaos God meant Slaanesh looked up at the full moon in the sky. "If you're so determined to go and see the stars…then do it. You have the power to create what you need," informed the Lord of Excess.
"It would take years to collect the material needed for any starship, plus the purchases would probably put me on the Interpol watch list. And I'm not making more Tyranids, not until I've fixed the Genestealer problem or studied this Hive Mind more," replied the human with a sigh.
In response Slaanesh just threw something at his feet, "there's a race that creates their own material for starships…and they're not Tyranids. And while I loathe them…they are effective at what they do, they would serve you well."
Blinking Alex reached down and saw an Eldar Spirit Stone at his feet before his eyes widened and he turned to Slaanesh to see the Lord of Excess walking away. "As long as they serve you…I will be…less inclined to devour their souls, you'll need all the forces you can get," stated the youngest Chaos God.
Alex's eyes widened as he realized just what had been promised, "why are you giving me this? Don't you need to feed off their souls?"
"I don't need to, I just want to…think of the most addictive thing you've ever tried before and that's what they are to me. But like Tzeentch told you, you're our creator and our job is to protect you through whatever means we have available. Regardless of the sacrifices to us and others," replied the Lord of Excess with a sigh.
"Slaanesh…" muttered Alex, causing the youngest God to turn to face him with an expectant expression on its face.
Suddenly a beaming smile spread across the human's face as he stared at her in the eye and this time Slaanesh saw not a single trace of the disgust from earlier within them, only a deep happiness, gratitude and…pride? Was he proud of her? Why? And why did it feel so good?
The God was snapped out of her thoughts as he continued, "I know I said perfection was ugly…but the drive to be perfect, to overcome your flaws…now that is truly beautiful. It shows your true beauty in ways that cannot be replicated…"
Alex then walked up to the immobile God with his smile still bright on his face, "and what I'm seeing right now…is truly beautiful beyond words."
Slaanesh just blinked in confusion as she felt the previous pain within her banished by the warm smile she was getting and in its place was a pleasure that she had never felt the likes of before, followed by a longing to see more of that smile. The youngest God felt the pleasure continue to spread around her body and instantly felt the longing for more get stronger as Alex backed away from her.
"In the space of one day you've made me feel pain and pleasure the likes of which I've never felt before…I see now how you created me, truly you are incredible Creator," laughed the Lord of Excess.
"Thanks…I think? Anyway while you're here could you remove whatever charm effect you put on me, it's making life very hard," asked Alex.
"Girls throwing themselves at you and it's only making your school life hard. Truly your self-control is incredible Creator. But rest assured I'll remove it however, that means your first time belongs to me…after all who better to teach you how to pleasure someone?" smirked the youngest God.
"On second thoughts why don't we leave it as it is," muttered the human with a deadpanned expression, not even wanting to consider what Slaanesh had in mind.
"Spoil sport. Come to think of it…you created us only about a week ago, wouldn't that mean you're older then us? I believe the term used in this country is Senpai is it not?" asked Slaanesh with a smirk.
Instantly Alex's mind was filled with images of a Yandere Slaanesh stalking him and the human had to suppress a shudder at the thought, "Slaanesh as your Creator I'm ordering you to never call me that again."
"Sorry can't hear you Senpai, but that pained expression you had looked nice," said the daemon before the smirk disappeared off its face. "You've given me a lot to think about, goodbye Creator. Make sure those Eldar witches don't murderfuck another God into existence won't you?"
'And besides, this should speed up that Mullosk's plan greatly,' thought the God privately as it silently decided to meet with the Lord of Change at the first opportunity.
Alex blinked at the Chaos God as it vanished to thin air before a frown crossed his face…'when did Slaanesh watch If the Emperor had a text to speech device?'
"Well, that went well…who knew Slaanesh could act so childish. She really didn't strike me as the type," muttered Alex as he turned the Spirit Stone over in his hand.
"She? I believe this is the first time you've given the Lord of Excess a gender, Creator," spoke a whispery voice as Alex turned to see one of the birds nearby turn back to the Changeling's form.
"A slip of the tongue, nothing else," replied the human, trying to keep a blush from forming as he examined the swirling colours of the Spirit Stone. "I do really want to see the stars before I die…and judging from what Sona's said that's more likely then I'd care to admit. But after what happened with the Genestealer…do I really want to risk creating another race?"
The human walked back into his home as he stared at the Spirit Stone in his hand and frowned, 'I'll sleep on it and decide in the morning.' However, as Alex was about to turn off his TV and head to bed, he was distracted by an emergency news report appearing on the television.
"Ladies and Gentleman, we interrupt this broadcast to bring you an emergency report on the situation in Kyoto," announced the news reporter as an image of the city popped up on screen.
"Oh my God," he gasped.
Alex just had his jaw drop as he stared at the picture…Kyoto was burning in blue flames…
So this is a major question for you readers. Should Issei have a major role in this story *cough cough* protagonist power of survival or should he just be killed or corrupted. I need you guys to tell me in reviews as this will heavily influence the story from now on. Also the next chapter is going to be from Yasaka's POV on how it got to that state.
