The more time Arad spent with Merida, the deeper his understanding of the demons’ true nature got. The demons aren’t evil, and they aren’t barbaric; they are purely savage. As AO, he didn’t create evil; what he created was freedom.

As Merida cried beneath him, he could clearly see her demonic soul, and from what he saw, he was even more surprised. Her soul was translucent, as clear as pure glass and burning with light. The only blemish on her was the traces of her human soul, staining the crystal-clear demon soul like a finger-mark.

It was a strange thing to see, but the demon soul was the one trying to cleanse the human soul, trying to revert it to its true nature. He grabbed her by the shoulders, sat up, and sat her on his lap as he held her tightly in a hug.

She wasn’t speaking, and Arad didn’t expect her. Her moans and gasps were enough for him to understand, and she only needed to listen to him to get what he was thinking about. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, kept her legs tightly around his waist, and clenched her insides as hard as she could.

That last shred of humanity she had left was slowly fading away, and taking away with it every piece of doubt, weakness, mortal influence, and corrosive ideals that humans came up with ages after AO’s disappearance.

With each thrust, each moan, and each gasp, her soul burned brighter and brighter, drowning in light. It was growing stronger, rapidly, turning into something ancient. The moment Arad thrusted one last time, a full two hours of pure violent love after they started, Merida screamed at the top of her lungs as she felt both her womb and soul getting filled to the brim.

If not for Merlin’s magic and Zephyr, the maids in the room would’ve died just by her voice. But the scream wasn’t limited to just Arad’s room; it boomed across her entire demonic layer, and the layer’s walls and ceiling started burning dark green. The demons there could clearly sense it; their demon lord had turned into something else, something primal, something that even they feared. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

But what drew their attention was something else: it was the pulsing veins in the layer’s ceiling, signifying the emergence of an heir. Their Demon Lord has gotten pregnant, and in her belly, she now carries the start of a whole new race of demons.

As Merida felt too weak to move on her own, Arad grabbed her by the armpits and lifted her up, gently laying her on the bed to rest. Two maids rushed to clean and move her to the side, while the maid that Arad brought with him crawled in and started sucking him off, trying to get him ready for the next queen.

Aella, Mira, and Isdis... the three of them looked at him, and then at each other. For a moment, they couldn’t decide who would go first. But after just a few short glances, they reached a peaceful conclusion. Rock, paper, scissors.

The three looked at each other like three cats about to start fighting, and then, each of them swung her arm out at blinding speed, enough to cause a small shockwave to shake the bed. As two pillows flew back and knocked a few of the maids to the ground, the three Queens all gasped.

Mira: Paper

Aella: Paper

Isdis: Paper

It was a draw. Arad, who was already leaning back with the maid sucking him off, smiled. He could already see a crack and knew for sure that it wouldn’t be a draw in the next turn. Zephyr, who was sitting on Aella’s head, flew toward him and shifted to humanoid size.

As Zephyr landed on his side, she grabbed the maid’s head and forced it down, pushing Arad’s whole flesh down her throat. The maid choked and struggled for a second or two, but then relaxed as Zephyr supplied her directly with air. "I’ll help you get better. This way, you’ll get something after the queens are done."

The maid was a bit annoyed at Zephyr’s interference, but she wasn’t going to let this chance slip by. She gave the spirit queen a sharp glare and got a promise to help her. Zephyr then shifted her gaze toward Arad, rubbed her chest on him, and reached toward his face.

"If you just knew how much I want you." She whispered, licking his cheek. "It’s a whole storm burning inside me... yet I cannot let it take hold." She went for a kiss, and Arad obliged. Her hand started moving the maid’s head up and down, slowly at first, but then it got quite fast and rough.

She threw back a glance at the three queens, who were about to swing their arms again, and see who would get eliminated. Rock, paper, scissors.

This time, the three of them swung as fast as they could, trying their best to hide their intentions. Their fists almost collided, and this time, a shockwave of magic shook the entire room. Divine magic, spirit magic, and a burst of freezing cold.

As the cloud cleared, Mira cried.

Mira: Rock

Aella: Paper

Isdis: Paper

Isdis laughed as Mira growled, "Did you see that? You should’ve trusted yourself and maintained your hand." She leaned on Mira’s shoulder and smacked her on the back. "All that divinity and you couldn’t hold back."

Aella looked at them and tried to consult Mira. "Isdis and I are fighters; we’re good at reading our opponents. Unlike us, you’re not used to that."

"I’m weak... too slow..." Mira grunted and then leaned back. "Fine, you won. I’ll be the last."

Aella and Isdis now turned toward each other, then threw a glance at Arad. "We better finish this before Zephyr and Olivia take him away." As Aella spoke, Isdis smiled. "I never knew she was that good with her mouth." She smacked Olivia’s butt and then went back to face Aella.

A bright emerald crown burned above Aella’s head, and Isdis’s eyes burned bright blue as frigid air started steaming out of her back. "Let’s settle this." Aella growled, and Isdis grinned. "With pleasure."

Zephyr’s eyes immediately bolted back toward Aella, who pulled on her spirit queen powers, and that distracted her enough to almost stop supplying Olivia with air. But what scared her most was Isdis’s temperature magic.

Rock, Paper, Scissors.

The two swung their arms down at blinding speed, and the entire room quacked as the bed almost shattered, and the maids standing at the walls ended up getting pushed away.

Aella had used her all, waited for the last moment as she swung her clenched fist down, and when she made sure that Isdis was opening up a paper, she threw the scissors out. With her elvish grace, spirit wind magic, and blinding reaction speed, she easily outclasses Isdis in all aspects relating to this game.

"I won." Aella smiled, and Isdis giggled, then burst out laughing. "Look again!" As her frigid steam cleared, Isdis didn’t throw paper but rock.

"WHAT!??!" Aella cried as Isdis maniacally celebrated, "HAHAH! I made it! It worked!" She jumped on the bed, almost reaching the ceiling before landing back. "ARAD? Did you see that?"

He smiled, "I did see it. You were throwing paper at the start and waited for Aella to make her move. But the moment she did, you froze time with your magic for a fraction of a second and changed your hand."

"No! She can’t do that!" Aella growled, "Isdis doesn’t have nearly enough power to freeze time, not just stop it." As she glared at Arad, he pointed at the room. "This room might be big, but it’s a far smaller space than an entire world. Freezing time here is possible for her. Of course, this only works since this room is a separate space."

"Come on!" Isdis looked at Aella, "Don’t tell me you think I cheated?"

Aella shook her head with a tired face. "No, you won. I was just surprised that you can freeze time."

Isdis giggled. "Whether I can or not, it doesn’t matter now, does it?" She reached toward Arad, grabbed the maid by the hair, and pulled her away, then kicked Zephyr away from him. "He’s mine now."
