Artemis looked at Atalanta, who had ropes around her body. The way it squeezed her body, it highlighted her assets and curves.
She could see how embarrassing it was for the Huntress...
"Atalanta…"
"My Lady… I am sorry… we have failed you. It was a trap all along. He tracked us from the very beginning all that heightened magic is his barrier system which works like surveillance!!!"
The silver-haired Goddess raised her hand to stop the girl.
"I know. It doesn't matter anymore. We have lost. I have lost. There is no way for us to leave. And there is no meaning in trying to escape. Our… new… Master will deal with us if we are to escape. It seems… my... goating methods only made him more obsessed with getting me…" Artemis said with a sigh. Making the rest of the hunt… well, except silly grinning Hippolyta...realise what this means…
"Goddess… does...this mean we are… to be his toys!?" Atalanta didn't want to believe this one bit! This is worse than her life before death! She was married off because of a cheat and then turned into a lion because Artemis didn't want one of her Huntresses to go through humiliation.
Now this was worse… now she is going to pet and a sex toy!
With a sigh, Artemis started to explain "...Not in a direct sense… he has his Devil Pillars, and other maids. I doubt he will be just doing that. The man is obsessed with his technological progress. You seen yourself didn't you? Do you think he only spends a lot of time...doing that to his women?"
The lion girl instantly calmed down. This made sense to her… the man created absurd things… someone like him most likely spends days if not weeks tinkering… it's most likely that those devil women made him interested in making other women into pets and sex maids…
"Yes. It makes sense…"
"It's hard to say this… but, look at the bright side… According to the other maids. You can get a lot of free time. The technological things here are… on level nowhere else in the world. And you can get Sacred Gears yourself as you do your work."
Atalanta's frown switched into a thoughtful look. Now she is less reluctant...but, still on guard.
Before long doors opened and three women entered the large area where the hunt was in. After all, it's close to 40 females. So a large area was needed to house them.
Artemis and the rest looked at these new arrivals...
A large screen appeared above the trio of new arrivals. This was quite simply showing off the technology at least what the hunt was thinking.
The silver-haired woman face appeared on the screen. She started explaining their fate.
[My name is Quinella. And I am our Master's Assistant and who runs day to day things in this place. Our Master has come with decision what is going to happen to you.
The leaders Goddess Artemis, Huntress Atalanta and The Queen of Amazons will be working as full-time maids and will be under Head Maid Grayfia. Thankfully for you, she doesn't have much time here. So, I will be stepping in most of the time. Nonetheless, she will teach you three the basics…] The silver-haired Assistant pointed at the Devil Maid.
Artemis frowned for a moment. She will be serving under a devil… well, its good motivation to raise and take that rank for herself.
[The rest of the huntresses will be serving under Latia Astaroth and will be working as field operators in the human world.
As Master is about to open his mundane company the Huntresses will be working as agents. I am sure you all have watched at least one or two James Bond movies or some animes or cartoons related to spies and agents?
If you do then you will know what to do. If not there will be training done. Your jobs will be quite easy. Keep mundane trash away from our companies. Since we will be selling slightly more advanced technologies there will be some who will want to steal it. And so you will be the one who will be monitoring that nothing is stolen.]
"Umm don't… our Master has the means to prevent that? the things he has here is far too advanced to be stolen easily?" One of the huntresses asked her.
[Of course. Why are you even asking? But we are talking about the mundane side of things. The barrier system was built with the pretext of monitoring the supernatural. There is a certain threshold that needs to be reached to be picked up by the system.
Until then mundane can do whatever they want. Master has little to no interest in the mundane world its only thanks to some quick thinking by the devil ladies here that he didn't start showing off more of his advanced technology which would have started world war 3.]
Her words made the whole group turn quiet. World war 3 would be a very big thing even to the supernatural. The humans build their weaponry far too reckless…
[This means that your job is to make sure technology is distributed by us, not some backwater country who got lucky to steal some of our technology. Because our Master won't be holding back and simply either reveals even more advanced technology or decides to do something more drastic.]
Now they seriously gulped down. The trio new maids had thoughtful look. They would prefer to stick with these girls. But as this assistant just said their position is much more different…
[Now. You three follow me. And the rest will be handed over to Latia.]
As she ended her explanation the screen disappeared and Latia walked forward the huntresses while Atalanta and Artemis looked back for a bit. They sighed in disappointment and relief at the same time.
Disappointment that it ended up like this, and relief that they won't be toys or maids to the man…
More like they will even get some action unlike them…
Now that they had time to think about it. They might got it even better side of the deal.
Not that they had enough time to think as they had to follow the pair of silver heads.
Walking through several corridors they arrived at.
"Is this…a railway station?" Artemis asked with a confused look. Just how deep is this underground network?
"It is. We are going where Master is."
Hearing this Atalanta and Artemis looked at each other. Understanding that yes. Their new Master is indeed quite obsessed with his creations. It's a good and bad thing. Good because they are going to be used daily and bad because it will be harder to raise in the ranks. Well, the second one is for Artemis as she is the one with ambitions…
Before long the train has arrived and the group has boarded it. It was quite out of place feeling for the trio as they were surrounded by holograms and very futuristic decorations. They had a feeling that they were not even on Earth in the first place.
"How does this whole system works? I mean the points and how does one raise in ranks in this place?" The Moon Goddess asked. Going straight to the point.
[Most points you get is from being useful to our Master. From taking care of him to cleaning The Base.]
"Meaning that we get most of it by being his toys?" Atalanta asked with some annoyance.
[Do tell me how more useful you can be? He doesn't need wealth he makes it himself, he doesn't need one to get food because he creates it himself, he doesn't need fighters because he has an army, it only leaves your personality and your body. Because let's face it if you were good you wouldn't be here right now.]
Her words were like hot knives which shredded the lion girl's pride… as well as Artemis. This was like they entered a new territory where their old powers and abilities are nothing much…
"...This… you telling me that I am useless apart from my body!?" Atalanta said with a pissed off voice.
[I am sure we can find some use for your hunting abilities when our Master decided to hunt. That's if you can pull him away from his inventions?
I am pretty sure he would take Artemis for that though, since she is Goddess of Hunt. You can though be a good house cat.] Quinella said with quite a serious tone. As if discussing job possibilities for her.
"Y-You… are not serious?"
[Very, if you make him happy I am sure he would make you a realm just to hunt beast you could only dream of…]
"He...he can do that?" Now Atalanta's curiosity was perked up.
"Have you ever heard of Superman?" Grayfia asked from the side.
"He is a very famous comic hero from American states. I suggest showing them our Master's true capacity in battle and the simulator abilities." The silver-haired devil maid offered to the silver-haired assistant.
[Truly! A perfect suggestion! No wonder you are the Head Maid!] Quinella happily clapped her hands, and quickly a screen appeared in the middle. Since they were sitting facing each other in the middle the area was empty now it had a tv like screen. It was designed the way that they could watch tv when they are travelling on the maglev.
[Watch. This so that you would know how powerful is our Master and what one could do in a simulation.] As she said that they started to watch the video.
Marcus asking for simulation. White room turning into New York was already impressive sight to see! Then of course people and their reaction to him.
Then watching him blowing up a building, causing chaos. Destroying more of the city scale before asking for an opponent…
Before long they saw him getting punched through buildings and the liberty statue. Recovering nearly instantly which made Artemis utterly baffled.
Powering up to the point that the whole planet started to shake...
Then started to engage Superman in combat which he got dominated early on but rapidly started to learn which made the trio of the girls gulp down nervous. From such insane progress.
Eventually, the superhero was overtaken and thrown into the ocean. At that moment they saw Marcus use Power of Destruction. Erase the whole bay and portion of the city.
Even then however the battle was not over as they went to space to continue the fight…
Though it wasn't long as the teen inventor pulled the hero into the moon which was blown up with a single blast…
Artemis and Atalanta gulped down with sweat pouring down from their forehead. This was no longer a battle between Gods but some freaks of nature!
While Hippolyta only had starry eyes. She just saw her beloved show that he can fight properly when needed too! That just solidified her interest in him. Yes, he was the perfect specimen for her!
[As you can see the simulation was most realistic possible with our current technology. All three of you can use them to hunt or participate in battles of your desires. All of them are available at any time.]
"Truly? We can use it anytime?" Atalanta asked with wide eyes.
"Correct, this is one of the reasons why the pair of maids take weekends off. They enjoy the entertainment dome… in my opinion too much. They should spend more time serving our Master." Grayfia said with some frown on her perfect face. The Head Maid doesn't give a crap about days off…
[indeed. Nonetheless, as I was saying. As long as Master is happy and satisfied he will most likely spoil you with technology and his inventions.
Serafall Leviathan did quite an outstanding job in this. She got a powerful Sacred Gear and assistance in her work as Satan Leviathan.] Quinella said with a smirk. She can see that her persuasion is doing wonders to them. The clip did quite a bit in this. She even lowered the speed the train is going just so that they could talk properly.
"Serafall Leviathan has Sacred Gear!?"
"Indeed she has. Master was able to fulfil her dream of making her a Magic girl. In quite a literal sense." Grayfia explained with a neutral tone. She still find it ridiculous but it works, she can't say anything.
For better or worse. Serafall can't use her clothes all the time. Super Class magic signature can make weaker people pass out…
[Making her as strong as someone from Top 10 strongest rating. So yes, play nice be good girls and you might get strong.] Quinella chipped in mentioning this.
Making both Artemis and Atalanta look with massive shock such power is off the charts!
What attracted the Moon Goddess about this is a power boost! Her getting a power boost is quite a difficult chore. As Goddess, she gets power from beliefs. As of now, her power is barely above the base power she got from birth. The amount of people who believe in her is very few. She only get some power from her Huntresses. However with Sacred Gear which can give a similar boost to the one Serafall gets? She most likely will be the most powerful Greek God!
That is too good to pass up!
While Atalanta was more interested in getting into this kind of Simulator… she could hunt dinosaurs, ice age beasts or even some alien creatures!
The possibilities are endless! Internally she had a massive tug battle with her pride. Is this all worth it!?
Only Hippolyta didn't care much… after all, her goal was and is...to be his wife. Both of the huntresses can debates and converse as much as they want. But the redhead Warrior Queen had set a goal in mind. Nothing else matters!
While the pair were having internal conflict Quinella could only smirk she looked at the fellow silver-haired woman. Grayfia gave her a small smile too.
The Assistant is not gonna lie. She likes this devil maid. Her dedication to their Master is almost as high as hers. Well, there is no other being more dedicated than her.
Soon enough the train has arrived at the station. Quinella leads the girls out of the carriage and into the platform.
She then motioned for them to follow her.
Soon enough the new girls looked at something utterly amazing.
It was an enormous ship… or more precisely… an enormous Airship.
After getting over the awe of the size of this thing and course the futuristic-looking design of this airship and its folded energy wings…
Their gaze went lower… they saw something which was quite fear-inducing…
There was an army boarding the ship. There was a massive ramp lowered there which this army is using to board this thing.
Hippolyta was impressed by this… even if her future husband is a craftsman he still knows how to build his armies… very impressive trait in her eyes. More points in her book.
"T-This is… is he preparing to go to war?" Artemis asked with disbelief. Here she was… trying to challenge this guy who has this!?
[War? No. This is him going to confiscate a Sacred Gear.] Quinella explained with a snort. The Moon Goddess thinks this is their Master's army? The silver-haired assistant didn't even try with this one! This is nothing more than a squad for a raid!
"There is several thousand of them! How many does he need to get this gear!?" The Goddess of Hunt asked with disbelief.
[Sephiroth Graal is owned currently by the Tepes faction of the Vampires. We will 'try' to persuade it to give it to us. If they don't then… well… you see those.] The silver-haired assistant pointed at the army boarding the airship then she said the second part of the sentence.
The lion girl and the Goddess slightly gulped down. This was big… very big. The current status of the world is about to change!
Now… they comprehend at least partially the scale of this man abilities… and it was a stupid thing to do… to try to mess with him.
After awe at the sight, they walked towards where Marcus was at the moment.
He was just standing there and looking at several holographic screens. Soon enough he noticed the approaching group.
"Ah. There you are. My apologies for leaving you like that. I had some things to do."
As the teen inventor spoke his voice send tingles through Artemis, Atalanta and Hippolyta bodies.
[Dont worry Master~~~ there is a reason why servants exist~~~ as your assistant it was my duty to introduce the new ladies into our faction.]
From an outsiders perspective, it looked like Quinella glided to his side. Her long hair only made her look like a fairy or a butterfly… though her looks are deceiving as her personality was nothing like a butterfly or a fairy…
"I suppose it's true…" He said that while stroking the Silver-haired assistant's cheek. The woman nearly purred to that.
Only Grayfia knew that this woman was nothing more than a collection of polygons and this cute action of hers was nothing more than a program doing it like that on purpose…
"Well, how are you three holding so far?" He asked the trio of new arrivals who were more or less subdued. Except for Hippolyta.
The redhead was happy to be here. She was happy to see her future husband so often now!
"You can say that…" Artemis said with a nervous tone. Should she just say that she is terrified of his capacities? Nope! She won't be telling that! He already has more than enough firepower to mess with her!
Nonetheless, he saw her nervousness and subdued way of holding herself. To test this out more he walked over to them.
More specifically in front of Artemis.
His hand went up to her cheek. He gently stroked it. She started to blush from his actions. This was embarrassing to her.
He leaned forward and started whispering to her. But, well, they are among supernatural and most likely everyone is going to hear what he is whispering to her.
"Your lying is quite bad. But, it's quite cute watching you struggle to lie." Marcus said that to her. By this point, her ears turned red from embarrassment.
The teen inventor then pulled back slightly and wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her into a kiss. This time however the Goddess didn't resist in any way. However, both Atalanta and Hippolyta looked at this with disbelief. Well in redhead Queen's case it was jealousy since she wants that kiss too.
Hopefully, she will get it too as well.
His hands wandered around her back. The leather clothes she wears are quite good to show off her perfect body. But, he wants her in the maid uniform his girls are wearing.
Eventually, he pulled back from the kiss and the Goddess looked a little bit mystified. She was looking at something aimlessly.
"I do love you wearing leather but the maid uniform will look even better on you."
Hearing that she snapped out, slightly looking annoyed but she got over it quick enough.
"As you wish. I will dress however you want." She said that sharply. There is some reluctance there. Nonetheless, this has impressed Marcus quite a bit.
He gave a quick peck on her cheek before pulling back. He then turned around and looked at Grayfia and Quinella. He wonders what did these two said to the Goddess and her Huntress for them to be this subdued.
The teen then looked at the Atalanta who was feeling embarrassed already.
The black-haired teen took a few steps towards her but, the huntress already did a bow.
"I apologise for my reckless attack… please can you remove these ropes!?" She asked with an extremely embarrassed tone.
One could say she was dying from inside out. This was so embarrassing and shameful that she doesn't know what to do anymore!
"Are you going to be a good kitty for me?" He asked with a curious look. Making more embarrassed and ashamed.
"YES! I will be a good girl! Just remove them!" She said with borderline begging tone.
Several white/gold circles appeared around her cutting the robes perfectly.
Once the ropes were gone she sighed in relief.
"Good. Next time you going to be naked...with ropes for your bad behaviour." He said that sharply making her instantly turn pale. The rapid change of her skin colour can say is quite bad for her health.
"...I understand! I won't going to be a bad girl! I Promise!" She quickly said that. To hell with her pride! Regular decency is more important than this!
"Good to hear that my girl can learn things so quickly. Don't worry, you will be rewarded for good behaviour." Marcus left hand went on her cheek and started stroking it.
Atalanta got instantly stiff. No one did that to her like this before… it feels very strange.
Nonetheless, he continued to do that and the lion girl had a hard time resisting this…
"See. Much better. Now that you a mine you won't be a stray cat anymore."
"..."
Atalanta wanted to counter that. But, that's a bad idea. She know that if she is to say something...bad she will end up with those ropes again… and this time naked… it sounds horrifying to her.
"And that means I can pamper you as much as I want." He said that while lowering his hand and in his left palm some grey goo thing appeared moments later white/goldish magic circles surrounded this goo…
Slowly it took a shape of a apple and turned red… second later Atalanta's nose picked up the smell of this fruit.
"This is 100% edible. I used the very same transmutation magic which was used by Biblical God to make his things." Marcus said that as he saw the gaze of the lion girl on this apple.
He then handed over to her. The huntress inspected the fruit a couple of times, from different angles as well.
Eventually, she decided to taste it because the smell was that good.
"Mhhh~~~"
The moment she took the bite. The taste exploded in her mouth. Her tail started rapidly wiggling a couple of times. This was good...scratch that! It was divine!
Without wasting time she rapidly finished the whole thing the seeds including… it was gone in three bites…
"It was good, isn't it?" He asked her. Atalanta slowly nodded in agreement.
"You know the best thing about this? I was the one who genetically altered it. Adding different apples tastes into it. Finding the perfect combination of sweetness, juiciness, and even colour.
Because I knew you like apples. After all, only the best things for my girl."
Her eyes widened hearing that. That apple was genetically tailored for her!?
"And you know what?" He leaned forward as if telling a secret.
"I can easily allow you to have Orchids of these just for you."
Her mouth slightly opened hearing that. Now... this...this...this… no one else offered anything like this to her before!
She could make as many apple pies as she wants! Or, fruit salads!
The possibilities…
Grayfia and Quinella looked at this with satisfaction… leave it to their Master to find ways to worm into their hearts. As Serafall said multiple times before… their Master could easily be a Lucifer if he would want…
"You would? You would get me an Orchid of these apples?"
"It is child's play for me. It took me only two weeks to build this." He pointed at the massive Airship being boarded by his soldiers.
"How hard do you think it will be for me to raise Orchid farm?"
"...Fair point… very well, as shameful as it is… your...reasoning makes total sense to me… as My Lady said… and as you said before… I... am yours… " She said the last part with quite a bit of difficulty. Nonetheless, it was a massive achievement in Marcus achievement book.
The Chaste Huntress was now his…
Once again his hand went to her chin pulled her slightly in. Atalanta knew what is coming next so she just waited for the inevitable.
Soon enough he claimed her lips. She tasted like apples of course. Still, though it was his first time kissing this beauty so he wrapped both of his hands around her waist and pulled her in.
The huntress had no skill in this so, Marcus lead her through this.
Before long their tongues started to wrestle and the lion girl started to feel heat rising in her body. She was slowly getting turned on by this. Especially when his hands were fondling her firm backside.
Still, though they had to ends because Atalanta didn't want to embarrass herself anymore as it is…
"Good first kiss. We going to have some more practice later on." He said that as he released her from his hold.
Before he went over to Hippolyta he handed over another apple that he just created. The lion girl felt embarrassed and even shameful for falling so easily once apples are involved in this…
Stupid legend about her! Even now apples are used against her like this!
While Atalanta feeling quite embarrassed being so easily manhandled by a man. Hippolyta on other hand could not wait for Marcus to come over to her.
"Unlike those two. I am ready to serve you in any way you want." She said that with a purring tone. The Queen of The Amazons was behaving nothing like her legends counterpart.
"Oh? Good to hear. We going to see how good you are with your duties."
She licked her lips. Hearing that. Now she is imagining what kind of duties he will ask of her… after all, he is at the age where the males want a girl to be taken in many different places…
Before long she was already in front of him her eyes had hearts in them already.
A few moments later Marcus was already kissing the beauty who wrapped her hands around him. Unlike the previous two, she was giving her all and trying her best. To show that she is better than those two!
The pair of huntresses felt slightly annoyed by this. They felt that this was aimed at them.
And unlike those two before Hippolyta's hands were exploring her new Master's body just like he was doing the same to her.
Still, though no matter how much she wanted. The hot make-out session had to end…
"Well? Was it to your liking? I was trying my best!~~~" The redhead said with glassy eyes.
"Very. I am sure we will be able to try this more later."
.
Hearing that she nodded with a very satisfying smile. Yep! it's confirmed! They going to have some 'fun' later on.
"Now that we have introductions out of the way." Artemis and Atalanta slightly rolled their eyes. Not bad 'introduction'...
"We can return to home. And Grayfia will give you your new uniforms."
The silver-haired head maid nodded. Yeah, she will have a certain amount of satisfaction training a Greek Goddess to be a full-time maid. This is certainly an honour to her. How many devils can brag that they trained a Goddess to be a human maid?
"So...um…this… whole mess with... Vampires…" Artemis started to talk about something else… like several hundred-metre long airship… the sound of synchronised walking makes her constantly remember that there is a massive warship in this enormous underground hangar.
After all, just south of Vampires is her… birth pantheon, she wanted to it home but she won't be going there any time soon if her Master has anything to say about it.
"Right. Check this out." Marcus got reminded about the ship in the place.
"The Confiscator. The Daedalus-class Airship." With a hand wave, a holographic window appeared in front of them.
Showing the airships schematics.
[Daedalus-Class Airship 'Confiscator']
[Classificstion: Mobile Pantheon]
"You named this after one human from Greek stories? Daedalus and Icarus?" Artemis asked with a curious look, she remember a lunatic who made wings and flew to mainland Greece from an island.
"Indeed. I was thinking of a different trend for the name but since you decided to come to my place I decided to continue with Greek and Roman names." Marcus said with a nod.
"You have more stuff named after things from my homeland?" Now the Silver-haired Goddess eagerly asked.
"The guns Jeanne showed to you are called Castor and Pollux. The rifles I used in the first meeting were named Deimos and Phobos." He told that to her.
The beauty was slightly baffled and somewhat honoured but same time she was annoyed that nothing was named after things related to her!
"Who knows if you going to be a good girl I will name one of my Apsos-class space stations after you." He said with a smirk.
"What's that?" She was curious and one could say Marcus is feeding whatever he wants to her by this point. He knows how to use her Godly pride...
With another hand wave, she saw it…
[Apsos-class 'Ars Almadel Solomonis']
[Classification: Orbital Station]
The newcomers saw the schematics for gun-shaped things…
"Apsos stand for All-Purpose Space Observation Station. It's quite large around 370 metres long space station... However, are we talking about something named after Artemis?
We can take it a step further. And do this…"
With several hand waves, he rearranged the gun-shaped station and turned it into a bow.
"Slightly altering, adding extra functions, more hangars…" He quickly altered it.
Right in front of them, he designed the station which looks like a silver bow.
"Now imagine this in full moon? When people look at the moon and see a bow with a moon? Seeing your symbol of power every single night."
By this point, the Moon Goddess had a dreamy look. She already imagining the amount of awe and respect she would get.
While the rest? Atalanta and Hippolyta...they realised that he just did the same thing what he did to Atalanta… feeding right from his hand…
And it's very effective.
"Of course… you would need to persuade me to do such thing first…" He said with a shrug. Closing the window casually.
