Marinus P.O.V

You know there are few things I enjoy more than waking up in a bed with a lovely woman. Today was no exception to that rule either considering my very enjoyable night with Lingsha, but watching the Luminary war dance was a close third.

It had been rather interesting to watch the various competitors throw down in an attempt to achieve ultimate victory and promote their own causes. The galaxy ranger Boothill had been rather ruthless throughout most of his match's. So much so that quite a few had petitioned for his removal, something the generals ignored quite easily.

Then there were others such as Luka of Belobog. A young man that was doing his best to raise awareness for his homes rather desperate climb from near extinction. Of course you couldn't forget the sponsors who looked to eagerly take advantage of potential advertising such as Topaz of the IPC.

In the end it was Luka who walked away from the wardance victorious after the champion Yanquing had conceded defeat. Although it was more of a way for Yanquing to acknowledge Luka and his determination rather than an actual defeat. Honestly, I was just a little disappointed in the rather anticlimactic nature of Luka's victory but oh well.

Of course I had said the wardance was a close third, but what I most enjoyed was the slew of notifications.

{Captured: Lingsha 30 [223]}

{Captured: Rias Gremory 60 [283]}

{Captured: Feixiao 30 [313]}

{Captured: Fu Xuan 30 [343]}

{Captured: Jing Yuan 30 [373]}

Tempest Jewelry really is the gift that keeps on giving. After three days of waiting I had finally captured a handful of individuals that would continue to generate more credits as they each gave out more pieces of jewelry. It also seems that with such a mass capture I've also managed to completely figure out what exactly changes a captured individual's view of myself the fastest.

Lynx and Clara had been a pair that I took by force, thus their view of myself was altered to be more submissive to my will. This had also been common in other lovers I took this way such as Kiryuu and the kendo duo.

Those that were captured through stealth and by waiting out the timer maintained their general personalities. The only real change that I've noticed in these individuals have been that they're more predisposed to agreeing and working with me easily. If push came to shove they were more likely to be somewhat resistant if I gave an order they were completely against.

Finally there were the ones that I've taken through mutual pleasure. Lingsha, Raynare, and Amber fell into this category easily and all three only had slight changes to their personalities. They were more submissive than a stealth capture, but withheld more of their original personalities than a complete domination. If I had to summarize it, they became a perfect blend of the two.

It really was amazing to see just how well the jewelry adapted to each scenario. Now, with almost four hundred credits there's quite a lot that I could do. I could easily purchase a tier eight waifu to use my queen piece on, but at the moment they really wouldn't be doing all that much. No for now my credits are better spent on things that I can use immediately.

Taking out the company device I scroll through the generic perks until I find what I'm looking for. Once I find it I smile as I select the perk and the company device disappears from my hand. Not a moment later a new heads up display appears in front of me.

{Purchased: HUD (You) -10 [363]}

With this I no longer have to hold or take out the company device anytime I want to make any adjustments. Now all I have to do is simply think about what I want to do and it's automatic.

{Purchasd: Information Defense (You) -25 (338)}

Case in point all I had to do was think about purchasing information defense and it was automatic. The reason for this purchase is really very simple. There's only one devil that I would hate to fight no matter how strong I get and that's Ajuka. His Kankura Formula is one of the more busted powers of DxD, however it has a weakness.

Ajuka cannot implement his formula on something he doesn't understand. Thus by purchasing this defense I can prevent him from being able to understand most of my powers. Especially since 'information defense' protects a secret relative to its importance.

With my purchases out of the way I refocus on my surroundings to see that the stadium has begun to clear out. As I stand up as well I hear Jingliu explain to Rias that most spectators and contestants will stay the night before disembarking the Loufu tomorrow. Just as Rias turns to me with a hopeful smile I shake my head.

"Nope, we're heading back today." I state firmly. "We've still got ten days to whip the rest of your peerage into shape and have them learn to work with your new members."

"I know, I know, this really has been quite the experience though." Rias replied with a small pout.

"It has." I agree thinking of my own fun.

"There you guys are!"

Looking to the sound of someone shouting the three of us turn to see a small procession approaching. At the lead carrying several bags of luggage is Guinaifen smiling as wide as possible. Behind her is Sushang, doing her best to calm down her friend as she carries her own bags.

The third person however still somewhat surprised me. HuoHuo was one of, if not the, most timid individuals in the Star Rail universe. So one could only imagine my surprise when Rias successfully managed to recruit the foxian girl after being introduced to her by Guinaifen.

Maybe it shouldn't have been so surprising. I mean Gasper is actually pretty similar in personality to HuoHuo, but Rias had only recruited the Dhampir because he was dying. Though apparently her motives were similar to Sushang's own.

HuoHuo did not have many friends, in fact she was pretty poor in that regard. So when she learned that her only two real friends on the Loufu were leaving she immediately wanted to go as well. Somehow this had even caught Mr. Tail by surprise...go figure.

Anyway, long story short HuoHuo was now Rias' second bishop and the final piece of her peerage. Personally I hadn't expected Rias to pull off anywhere near this good of a job at recruitment so I'm a little excited to see how the rating game against Riser goes.

"All set?" I ask Sushang as I walk up to her while Rias and her new peerage members talk.

"Yep, I gave my resignation, but the general personally rejected it. Apparently I'll be acting as an ambassador of sorts." She replied whisper the last part so that only I could hear.

It was smart, by assigning a member of my peerage the title of ambassador the generals probably hoped to circumvent me a bit in negotiations with the devils. It really is too bad that they severely underestimate how much sway I'll hold with their ambassador'.

"I've also sent a letter to my family. Hopefully they'll understand and not want to strangle me." She added with an uncertain shrug.

"I'm sure it won't be that bad." I replied.

I remember a little about Sushang's mother from her lore. The woman was stern and strict, but not unkind.

"Leaving?" The voice of Jing Yuan questioned as he approached our little group with Lingsha and Feixiao in tow.

"Yeah, it's time for us to head back. Rias has accomplished her recruitment so it time to do some actual training." I replied with a slight smile.

"Thank you for your hospitality these past few days General." Rias stated with a small bow.

"There's still plenty of room if you'd like to come as well Lingsha." I added looking towards the healer.

She gave me a slight smile before walking up and pulling me into a kiss. It was chaste and lasted for only a few moments, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

"I appreciate the offer, but I must remain here. Lady Bailu would be lost without me." She replied.

It wasn't untrue, but it wasn't the entire truth either. Considering our relationship she was very likely to be picked as a concubine to...sweeten the pot...as it were. In the meantime she would stay on the Loufu spreading a small supply of tempest jewelry I've left in her home. As the head of the Alchemy Commission she has regular contact with multiple high profile members of the Xianzhou, almost more-so than Jing Yuan. This left her in a rather unique position, one that would be further bolstered by the fruit of our little tryst.

"Well then, this is goodbye for now." I reply with a small smile keeping my internal monologue to myself. "Alright everyone grab onto each other." I order.

Everyone does as they're told, quickly placing their hands on one another. Walking over I place a hand on Rias shoulder and with a single thought we disappear into a flash of light.


When we reappear inside the living room of the Gremory estate it's to a group of surprised devils. The Gremory peerage jump in surprise as where there had once been two people there are now six.

"We're back!" Rias cheered happily.

"But...you never left." Issei said blinking in confusion. He was suddenly punched in the side by Koneko who was giving him an entirely unimpressed stare.

"Senpai explained it before idiot, time dialation." She stated in her usual monotone.

"Right, we were gone for a few days." I affirmed giving Koneko a pat on the head.

"And for us it was instant." Issei added with a groan, seemingly having remembered when I explained this previously. "You can't seriously expect me to remember a long winded explanation like that though right? I mean it's not like you're a hot girl with big jugs." He stated.

There was silence as Rias quietly sighed in fond exasperation. Meanwhile the new arrivals weren't impressed in the slightest.

"Pervert/pervert."

"Trash."

"Disappointing."

Unfortunately for Issei he was still on his knees, the perfect height for Koneko. She quickly slapped him across the back of his head knocking him face first into the ground.

"Alright, you girls grab a room and we'll begin training tomorrow." Rias instructed.

"Me too?" Sushang asked looking to me.

"No, we're heading to my place. I'll introduce you to the others including who I want to train you." I replied with a slight smile.

I spent a while thinking it over and I think I know exactly who I want Sushang's template to be. A fire user whose abilities can be flexible enough to be easily paired with a sword. A couple come to mind, but one in particular is rather tempting.

With a wave to Rias and her peerage I place a hand on Sushang's shoulder and flash step out of the estate. Performing a few more for good measure I stop when I'm sure we're out of anyone's range. Just as soon as we're out of range I conjure a teleportation to circle to take us home.

As soon as we reappear outside the manor I let go of Sushang and start towards the front door. After a moment I realize I'm the only one moving and turn to look behind me. Sushang is frozen in place as she takes in the sheer size of the manor.

"This is my new home?" She asks aloud. "It's the size of the Seat of Divine Foresight." She mutters in awe.

"You should get used to it." I say with a small smirk. "This is pretty small compared to noble houses in the underworld." I inform her causing her to gape.

With a slight chuckle I move towards the front door with her hot on my heels. Opening the doors I'm not surprised in the least at the lack of a greeting. After all I wasn't exactly planning on being home so soon.

"Welcome home Lord Marinus." Though it doesn't take long for Celeste to come greet me. "I wasn't expecting you home quite yet." She stated with a smile.

"I've found another member for my peerage on my recent outing." I reply while gesturing towards Sushang. "This is Sushang, she'll be joining us."

"I am Celeste Belphegor, head maid of the Leviathan household." Celeste introduced herself with a slight curtsy. "Leave your luggage by the door, I will have it taken to your room. If there is anything you require feel free to come speak with me." She instructed.

"Oh, uh, thank you." Sushang replied a bit flustered.

"Celeste could you call Momo to my office?" I asked while walking towards said room.

"Of course." She replied.

Ass we walked I quickly went through a couple of possible templates before finally settling on one for Sushang.

{Purchased: Template Stacking I (Sushang has Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto (Bleach)) -20 [318]}

Head Captain Yamamoto, one of the most powerful men to exist in Bleach period. His abilities will be a perfect fit for Sushang...with just a bit of irony involved. I mean her family style is called the Phoenix sword style after all.

As we walked into my office Momo was only a few minutes behind and looked towards Sushang curiously.

"You called Marinus?" She asked.

"I did, this is Sushang." I gestured to the other brunette. "Shes my newest pawn and I'd like you to help her polish up her swordsmanship, as well as train her template." I explained.

"Did you give her someone in familiar with?" Momo asked curiously.

"Wait hold up, template? Is that why I'm feeling so warm all of a sudden." Sushang asked.

"Indeed, a template is something only I can give that gifts selected individuals with the skills and powers of their respective origins." I explain with a small smirk. "I've given her the template of head captain Yamamoto."

Momo's eyes widened drastically as she looked towards the younger woman. "The head captain?" She muttered before it seemingly fully set in. "Are you insane!" She yelled at me while running over to check on Sushang. "The head captain is one of the most powerful men in the Soul Society! His power could easily kill her!"

"Relax Momo." I replied nonchalantly. "Template Stacking prevents her from gaining all the power right away. She'll have time to learn about the powers and control them. Which is why I want you to train her." I explained.

Seemingly calmed by my explanation Momo took a deep breath as she looked over the younger swordswoman. Sushang seemed to take it as an exam and stood straighter with a look of determination.

"Fine." Momo sighed out after a few moments. "I'll train her." She relented. "Be in the training room by seven o'clock sharp in the morning, we'll have a lot to cover."

"Yes ma'am, I won't let you down." Sushang replied with a grateful smile.

"The hour seems to be growing rather late, perhaps it would be best to show Sushang to her room." Celeste announces to which I simply nod in agreement. "Very well if you would follow me." She instructs.With that I'm left alone in my office.

Letting out a sigh I relax into my comfortable chair. Things are starting to move quickly and soon it'll be time to make a full return to the underworld. Truthfully I'm actually looking forward to stepping back into the life of a noble devil, I'll finally be able to stop sneaking around.

*knock*knock*

Blinking in surprise I look to the door for as I hear the sound of someone knocking. I knew Celeste wouldn't have been that fast showing Sushang to her room so I'm a bit confused on who it could be.

"Come in." I announce.

To my surprise Livia is the one who enters my office with a somewhat shy expression. Though that could be because of the fact all she's wearing is a nightgown that does little to hide her curvaceous body.

"Lord Marinus, I apologize for the disruption." She greets as she closes the door behind her.

"Not at all Livia, I was simply enjoying a moment of peace." I reply with a small smile. "Is everything alright? Has something changed with Ingvild?" I questioned.

"Everything is well, Lady Ingvild is still asleep though she does show signs of recovery." She stated with a beautiful smile. It was clearly evident that she loved her job. "No I'm here on more of a personal request." She stated.

"Oh?" I questioned curiously as I gestured for her to take a seat across from me.

"You see my father has been in contact with me to discuss our plans for the revival of house Marbas. With his advanced age he plans to have me take over as its new head, but as I'm also half Buer I'll be expected to lead the now combined houses." She explained.

I nodded in understanding, it wasn't an uncommon practice for a child of two houses to lead both. Especially in a scenario where there were no other living relatives of one house. Though I do fail to see where that would involve myself.

"However there's one disagreement between us." She stated with a slight frown. "To strengthen our position quickly and to better support House Leviathan my father wants me to be married as soon as possible. I wouldn't have an issue with this except for the fact that the few houses it would make sense for myself to be wed to are either extinct or will be too powerful for us." She explained as her frown grew larger. "In the case of the latter we would be in a position to be used against House Leviathan." She stated matter of factly.

"Ah, I see your dilemma." I stated with a small smile. "However I've already been planning the best way to help your house and as it stands we have come to a similar conclusion." I explained causing her to look at me curiously, though she seemed to have an idea of where I was going with this. "I think it would greatly strengthen House Leviathan to have direct ties with its subordinate houses." I state.

Livia takes a few moments to mull over my words as she considers their weight. In reality she had already come to the same conclusion as myself and that was to form blood ties between our houses.

"How would an arrangement such as this work?" She questioned. "I'm sure that you would need to do this with houses Vepar and Belphegor as well." She observed.

"Allow me to speak plainly, Livia I plan for you to become one of my wives." I stated rather bluntly. "I also plan to take Lilitifa and either Celeste or one of her relatives as wives as well. This way house Leviathan will strengthen ties to all three of its more loyal subordinate houses." I explain to which she nods in understanding. "As for the matter of succession...I'll allow my pure blooded children the option to choose between their mother's House or mine when they come of age." I stated.

"Choose houses?" She asked in surprise. "Wouldn't the child belong to both?"

"They would, but with this arrangement whomever succeeds as the Leviathan heir will have to essentially manage multiple houses. Would you like an heir to grow up favoring say house Belphegor over your own?" I asked.

Livia took a moment to think on my explanation before she shook her head. "No, my duty is to house Leviathan first and my own second. I would want any future heir to believe the same." She affirmed.

"Exactly, my children will not fight amongst themselves and destroy my house in the process. No, they will work together to strengthen our house in a way that I can only dream." I stated with a small fire in my heart.

I had seen it before, whether it be in history or fiction a house raised by competition would breed discrimination. That discrimination would breed hatred which would eventually lead to a full on slaughter. It might take two generations or it may even take a hundred, but the fact was it would be an inevitable catastrophe.

With my plan for the Leviathan House the next generations will work together to see their family become prosperous and fruitful. Of course I'm not expecting it to go perfectly. There will be fights and more than a few disagreements, but with this I can at least lay down the groundwork of a feasible solution.

"Now I believe the only matter left..." I begin as I stand up and walk around my desk to stand in front of her. "Is when would you like to start trying for children dear?" I asked.

Livia gained a sultry smirk as she looked up at me. "As they say, there's no time like the present my lord~" she purred.


Regular P.O.V

Serafall Leviathan was the most powerful woman in the underworld. Very few had the distinction of even stepping close to her in terms of raw power outside the new satans. It was why she had even been considered for the position of Leviathan after the civil war in the first place.

With that said there were still a few things that frightened her. Chief among those was the thought of disappointing her dear sweet So-tan, but at this moment she wasn't so sure about that anymore.

You see her family, the honorable House Sitri, were the foremost experts in the underworld on all medical matters. If one were to look back on their history they would know it was because their house had worked in conjunction with others to keep in the cutting edge of medicine and medical knowledge since their houses very founding.

Even humans had benefited greatly from select members of their race making deals with House Sitri. Edward Jenner, Alexander Fleming, Hippocrates, and many others that shaped modern medicine in the human world had received aid from their house. So perhaps it was no surprise that they would have also dabbled in the number one issue that plagued the devil race...infertility.

Her house had been on the front of their races long standing war to increase the fertility rate. As a result they had made advances in so many areas they could tell a female devil she was pregnant two days after conception with an accuracy rate of eighty-nine percent. Needless to say it was a major topic amongst her family.

So when Serafall Leviathan, strongest woman of the underworld, Satan of foreign affairs, found out that she was pregnant she was rightfully equal parts elated and terrified. She knew who the father was, she wasn't some easy squeeze after all. The problem was that the father was only a human.

She herself didn't mind in the slightest, in fact she was quite happy the father was someone like Marinus. The problem was that her parents would take issue with her unexpected pregnancy. They weren't exactly purists in any sense of the term, but they were also deeply concerned with their own self image. If she walked out and announced to the world she was pregnant with a half human child she would be congratulated by only a minority, her fellow Satans thankfully part of it.

Her parents, the Old Satan faction, and Great Kong faction on the other hand? They'd practically crucify her for daring to tarnish her grand position by bedding a human. She would more than likely be forced to kill them all...she would too. Her child, heh her child would not be harmed and any who tried would be slaughtered to the man.

She would keep this a secret for now though, after all she had a little while before she starts to show. She would keep this a secret from just about everyone with the exception of her fellow Satans and Marinus. One because if an emergency were to break out her friends need to know why she wouldn't be able to jump in if things got bad. The second because Marinus is quite literally the father of her child and entitled to such information.

She would go speak with him tomorrow, it was already late enough and he was probably tired.


Marinus P.O.V

Lemon start

"Uh! Uh! Oh Satans yes! Please pound pussy with your glorious cock!"

As it turns out Livia is quite the screamer. Currently on her back laid across my desk I'm holding her arms as I pound into her tight delfowered cunt. Meanwhile her head is leaned back, eyes rolled backwards with her tongue lolled outside her mouth in a perfect ahegao.

"Breed me my lord~" she cried wantonly as she wrapped her legs around my back. "Breed your obedient cocksleeve~"

With a chuckle I slam my hips forward as I release another load of cum into her quivering sex. Her breath hitches as her back arches, yet another orgasm rocks her already sweat covered body.

As her hungry pussy continues to milk another rope of cum I reach up and roughly grab her breast eliciting another moan of please.

"You know I'm going to be quite hello if our child getting to suckle from such sweet fruit." I growled as I took a nipple into my mouth and started to nibble roughly.

"Ah, you can-AH!~ Use them whenever you wish my lord!" She cried in pleasure her body doing its best to wiggle back and forth in an attempt to ride out her pleasure.

Feeling another surge of pleasure coming I reached down folding her legs forward into a mating press. Slamming forward thrust after thrust into her abused womb I can't stop myself from unloading yet again inside. Perhaps I shouldn't have agreed to try out the aphrodisiac she had brought, but I certainly wouldn't argue with its effects.

"You're...you're a beast Lord Marinus~" she purred before her body fell limp. Her mind and body already having experienced at lest seven orgasms in last hour alone.

With a chuckle I pulled my cock out of her abused sex and with a smile I patted her stomach like a dog. "If I'm a beast that makes you my bitch." I growled. Walking around the desk I pulled her body across until her head hung in front of me.

With a smirk and cock in hand I parted her supple lips. It was her fault for wanting to experiment, so she would do her best to relieve my desires even while unconscious. Perhaps in the morning I would get the recipe for this aphrodisiac, but for now I had work to do.

Lemon end
