"I don’t like this..." Chloe whispered as the girls were being chained to a bar hanging across the room. Laz had a few of the guards go and get this ready ahead of time as he was the one who was stronger than the goddesses and needed to be the one to directly subdue them. On the plus side, Chloe had sets of restraints meant for gods thanks to her work being a guard for the Empress so even though the girls were stronger than the guards, once they had been shackled, it didn’t matter.

Basically, Laz jumped each girl while they were on their own after being led to them by Chloe, subdued them, put a bag over their heads and had the helping guards, all women who serve the Empress, drag them all into the same room. They then chained them to the pole running across the room. Once they were done, the guards looked to Laz and Chloe for orders. Laz took out a bunch of masquerade masks and silk outfits that really were barely more than thin strips of silk. Using Chloe as an unwilling example, Laz had each of the guards change into the silks and the masks before laying out a bunch of interesting toys and tools, ones that he had gotten from Nesha. For whatever reason, she had given him a bunch of things that could only be used for one purpose. Either that, or the demon people thought that torture should involve sexual tools.

And while Laz wasn’t wrong, what he didn’t know was that those tools would normally be used on men, not women... giving them a far different purpose. Either way, they were serve Laz quite well for now.

Once he had everything laid out, he saw the looks on the guards faces. Since Chloe was here, they were going along with things as they had been ordered. But now, the situation was starting to go slightly off the rails.

Using a series of hang signals, Chloe basically told them to do what they were told and that yes, this was the Empress’s order.

’Do what he tells you to do as though you were following my own order,’ was what was conveyed to them. They saluted then to Laz as though they were now fully serving him, as though he was their Emperor.

As for the women, while they had been captured and blinded, they hadn’t been gaged and had been raising a fuss the whole time.

"Do you know who I am peasant?"

"I will kill you. I will kill your entire fucking family. I swear by my ancestors..."

"I will cut you into pieces and feed you to my man-slaves..."

And so on and so on. After a while of hearing the threats and them talking down to them seemed to have steeled the resolve of the guards as even they were looking annoyed.

As for Laz, while he had given the girls space to get changed as Chloe had requested, he could only conclude that there was a requirement when serving the Empress that one had to be at a certain level of beauty as each one looked like a rare flower in bloom in the different color silks. As for Laz, he wore black silk pants with inlaid gold, something Hera had gifted to him via Chloe. Wearing only that and his mask, Laz gave off a somewhat lazy but heavy impression. It didn’t help that without the restraint of other clothing, his man meat was hanging clearly down his leg and very visible.

All the guards couldn’t help but do a double take when they finally figured out what they were looking at.

Laz then went to sit on a large cushioned chair, having Chloe sit next to them while two of the other guards sat at his feet, massaging his legs. They hesitated at first, but just like what happened with Chloe, Laz was able to use a bit of his essence and spread it around the room, causing everyone to feel just a bit warmer than before. The guards seemed to relax almost immediately while Chloe seemed to stiffen for a moment as though she noticed something. She looked down at Laz who looked back up at her and lifted his eyebrows as though asking her ’what?’ Chloe just shook her head and smiled, knowing she wasn’t going to get any answers.

"Unmask them," Laz ordered and the standing guards did so, removing the hoods from the five women.

"Finally. You are... all... screwed...?" Said the blonde before taking in what was happening.

"What the hell is this?"

"Is this some kind of game?"

"Enough," Laz said, letting out a bit of his power and making the women shut up. Even with their energy restrained, the women were like Athena in that they had powerful bodies. But even that didn’t matter to Laz as he could overpower Athena even with her energy intact.

"From now on, you are slut one, slut two, slut three, slut four, and slut five. You shall not speak unless spoken to. You shall not ask questions. You shall not even breath too loudly. Last, you will do as you are asked without question. I hope I’m being clear enough?" Laz said, his gaze having gone golden as he looked at each of them in turn.

"You expect us to just shut up and do what you say? You must be a fool," Slut two said. Laz nodded at the guard closest to her who stood in front of her.

"And what the fuck does this bitch want?"

SLAP! SLAP! The guard back handed Slut two twice, once for each time she spoke out of turn, sending her head spinning.

"Hey!"

"YOU FUCKERS!"

SLAP.

SLAP.

Laz didn’t even need to say it as the guards had gotten tired of their mouths a while ago and slapped them without instruction. Seeing that every word they said would warrant a slap, the five women quickly held their tongues.

"See? This isn’t hard, is it?"

"Now, I’m sure you’re all wondering what you’re doing here, yes?"

No one spoke.

"Rule number one. You will not speak unless spoken too. But that also means that when you are spoken to, you will speak. Now one more time. Are you all wondering what you’re doing here?"

"Yes."

"Yeah.

They all answered this time.

"Well. It turns out your mother needs something I have while I have some needs of my own. See, I have contact with several mercenary groups that would be willing to help out in this situation as long as the price is right. My job would be to contact them and get them here as soon as possible. The only problem is that currently, your mother lacks funds with which to hire the groups. While I could cover the cost myself until she is able to access the treasury again, I need a little something as colleterial first to help protect my investment. I would hope you all see where I am going with this?" Laz asked after spewing the story he made up on the spot after being reminded of the demons. Next to him, Chloe was struggling to keep her laughter in check after hearing the insane story Laz had come up with. Even she, as a guard, knew that no merc group would be willing to come to their death with only the promise of being paid eventually.

’And yet, seeing the looks on their faces means they bought it hook, line and sinker,’ Chloe reflected.

"No... Mother wouldn’t..."

"That’s impossible."

"She would never..."

"I see that there is some doubt in your minds? Well, let me explain it a bit more clearly then. Compared to your sisters, you all are basically nothing. You’re useless. You’re expendable. And now... you’re nothing but colleterial to get hundreds of warriors here. But look on the bright side? At least this way you’re going to be useful to your Empress and kingdom. Doesn’t that make you proud?" Laz said with a chuckle.

"What are you going to do with us?" Slut five asked, reading the situation faster than the others.

The guard stepped forward to strike her, but Laz stopped her.

"It’s alright. While I didn’t give you permission to speak, it is a question that needs to be addressed so why not do so now? I have a bit of a problem and, sadly, it requires quite a bit of service to address," Laz stood up and lightly took Chloe’s hand, bringing her to the front of him and guiding her down on her knees. Since she knew she was just playing a role and not going to be required to participate, Chloe gladly followed along and once she was on her knees, she gently ran her hands up Laz’s legs until she reached the waistband of his silken pants and with one smooth, but seductive motion, she pulled them down, revealing him in his nude glory.

What Chloe didn’t expect was that his member was even larger than she had remembered, so much so that she almost fell backwards.

’How the fuck?’ She said as she steadied herself.

As for why Laz was now even more massive, it was because with his rise to godhood, he had almost microscopic control over his own body and extending his length just a bit while making it a slight more more girthy didn’t take much effort. Since cells have a residual memory, once he stopped focusing his energy, the size would return to its normal girth and length which while still exceptional, it wasn’t as outrageous as he was right at this moment.

"Sadly my drive to engage in the act of reproduction is abnormally high and with my ’equipment,’ I find myself unable to do the act with normal women as such a thing would, more than likely, kill them. So, I require those who are either gods or at least at the cusp of godhood with strong bodies, like yourselves, to be able to take care of my condition. And luckily, your Empress had five useless daughters that could help me deal with this."

After being taken aback, Chloe was more curious than anything to see if it was real and therefore began to touch Laz’s massive length, lifting it up to check it’s weight while comparing it to her own leg before letting it drop back down and realizing it almost touched the ground with him standing.

"I know kitten. I know. But considering how long you spent in bed last time while throwing up for almost hours on end, you need more practice before we can try that again. But worry not, we will get there eventually. And right now I have five others with which to take care of me. Isn’t that great?" Laz said, lifting Chloe’s chin to allow his eyes to meet her eyes.

’Stop acting like this is your first time seeing it!’ Laz communicated with his eyes.

’HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN? OK. OK... Not my problem...’ Chloe sent back with her own eyes.

The guards had to look twice since even they noticed that it looked bigger than just a few moments ago, wondering if their eyes were playing tricks on them.

As for the girls... they all seemed like they would pass out at any moment as their faces went deathly pale with the reveal of what would be happening to them.
