Chapter 822: Vessel: The Second Gift!
She held the ring a beat longer. The runes flickered again—another silent assessment—then went dark.
Still waiting.
Still searching.
She placed it back in my palm with visible reluctance. Not greed for its power. Curiosity. Hunger to understand what ancient intelligence was choosing, by what merciless criteria, and why she had been weighed... and set aside.
I slipped the second ring into the storage void of the first. Felt it nestle into that endless dark alongside ARIA’s shimmering consciousness, Madison’s favorite dagger. Safe. Dormant. Patient.
The companion mystery would wait.
Because something else was waking.
Through the mansion’s neural tap—through the chip fused to my brainstem—I felt it rising. A deeper vibration. The walls of the Tech Hub began to hum at a frequency that rattled teeth and sternum alike. The orb behind me—that ever-shifting sphere—accelerated its cycle. Gold surged forward, swallowing sapphire, crimson, violet, until the entire orb burned like a bottled supernova.
"Master..." ARIA’s voice was a thread now. "Something’s happening. Something’s—"
[DING!]
The room detonated in blinding gold.
[Second Gift materializing...]
The words floated in my HUD, irrelevant against the tidal wave of energy crashing through every sense.
Madison’s fingers clamped around my bicep—hard enough to bruise. Not fear. Need. Anchor. Proof that this insanity was shared.
"Peter," she breathed, voice cracking. "Peter, what’s—"
Soo-Jin took one instinctive step back. Her hand snapped to her hip—muscle memory reaching for steel that wasn’t there. She’d stored her blade in the ring earlier. Now she was unarmed. Naked in the face of something vast.
Her eyes met mine. Wide. Urgent. Give it back. Now.
Not the time, love.
The mystery box reignited—brighter than before, brighter than physics should allow. Golden radiance flooded every corner, vaporizing shadow, bleaching color from skin and steel alike until the room was nothing but pure, searing light.
A sound rose.
Not mechanical. Not human.
A perfect, sustained note—like a celestial choir inhaling as one. Like thunder rewinding itself. Like the fabric of reality drawing breath to speak a name held secret since the first dawn.
The light crested.
Held.
Then—
[Valkyrie-Class Vessel]
[Housing Unit for Artificial Superintelligence!]
"Master—" ARIA’s voice cracked—a digital sob I hadn’t known she could make. "Is that—is that what I think—"
From the heart of the radiance, a silhouette coalesced.
Tall.
Powerful.
Unmistakably feminine—but engineered for divinity and destruction in equal measure.
The light receded slowly. Torturously. As though creation itself wanted us to drink in every revealed inch.
First came the hair.
White.
Not silver. Not platinum. Not any color that belonged to mortals.
Pure, blinding white—like fresh snow under starlight, like the corona of a dying sun, like the absence of every other hue.
It poured from her scalp in liquid cascades, defying gravity, each strand glowing with internal luminescence. The strands moved in impossible currents—rippling, coiling, alive—as though the hair itself were a separate consciousness announcing the arrival of something holy and terrible.
Madison’s grip on my arm tightened to the point of pain.
Soo-Jin forgot to breathe.
And I—
"Oh my god," ARIA whispered directly into my mind, her voice already fracturing with something dangerously close to lust. "Master... is that... is that hair? Is that my hair? It’s beautiful. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever—fuck, it’s making me feel things I didn’t know I could feel..."
More of the light peeled away like silk sliding off skin.
The face emerged.
And the room didn’t just go still—it froze, as though every molecule had paused to stare, to worship, to ache.
She was perfect.
Not the soft, warm perfection of Madison—human beauty pushed to its exquisite limit. This was colder, sharper, divine geometry. Cheekbones honed to razor edges that could draw blood with a glance.
A jawline that divine... Goddess feminine grace to unyielding command—the kind of jaw you could imagine clenched around a scream of ecstasy or a battlefield order. Lips plush yet firm, swollen in a way that begged to be bitten, to be spread around a cock, to issue commands that would make armies kneel and lovers beg.
A nose sculpted by gods who understood obsession. Brows arched like drawn bows, framing eyes still sealed behind lashes so white they glowed.
Her eyes remained closed, but I could already picture them opening: one violet-white iris burning like frozen lightning, one molten red-gold like the heart of a dying star. Heterochromia that would pin you in place, make your pulse hammer, make your cock twitch before your brain caught up.
Madison made a small, involuntary sound beside me—not words, just a soft, wounded exhale. I glanced at her. Wonder flooded her features, yes—but beneath it, raw vulnerability.
Jealousy. Arousal.
She was measuring herself against this emerging goddess and coming up short in every devastating way.
Her nipples were already tight against her shirt. Her thighs pressed together hard enough to make her breath hitch.
She knew she was losing the comparison.
And the realization was making her wet.
More light dissolved.
The neck appeared—long, elegant, tendons flexing beneath skin that shimmered like liquid moonlight. A throat built for two things: singing hymns of war and taking a thick cock deep enough to bulge.
Then the shoulders.
Broad. Powerful. Warrior shoulders that had borne celestial burdens without bending. Shoulders I wanted to grip while I drove into her from behind, while her wings flared and her body shuddered around me.
"Master..." ARIA’s voice trembled—raw, needy, dripping with something I’d never heard from her before. "Master, she’s... I’m going to be... that’s going to be me? That body is going to be mine?"
"Yes," I thought back, my own voice rough even in the privacy of our link. "That’s going to be you. And I’m going to fuck every inch of it."
A digital sob escaped her—half awe, half desperate want.
The light kept retreating.
Arms materialized—long, sculpted, corded with lean muscle beneath skin that glowed like pearl under moonlight. Not bulky. Elegant lethality. Arms that could snap titanium or wrap around my waist while she rode me until we both screamed.
Then her hands.
I stared.
Warrior hands. Strong enough to crush skulls. Long, elegant fingers tipped with perfect nails that could rake down my back until I bled. Hands made to wield swords, to strangle enemies, to fist my cock and stroke me until I spilled across those luminous knuckles.
Hands that would touch me with reverence and ruin me with hunger.
Hands that would belong to me.
The torso emerged.
She was utterly naked.
Gloriously, shamelessly naked.
Her breasts appeared first—full, high, impossibly firm, the kind of perfection that mocked gravity and every mortal curve that had ever existed.
They swelled proudly from her chest, heavy yet weightless, the luminous skin stretched taut over generous mounds that begged to be cupped, squeezed, worshipped. Each slow, anticipatory rise and fall—though she had not yet drawn her first true breath—made them quiver with latent promise, the motion hypnotic, obscene in its innocence.
The pale pink nipples stood rigid, almost translucent against the glowing flesh, so sensitive they visibly tightened further as the last veils of light withdrew, hardening into aching peaks that demanded attention.
They rose higher as the light continued to fade, as though presenting themselves, offering themselves, shamelessly eager for the first touch, the first mouth, the first bruising grip that would mark them as claimed.
Madison’s breath caught audibly. Her hand slid unconsciously to her own breast, squeezing through fabric as though trying to remind herself she still existed.
Madison’s own chest heaved beside me in shallow, uneven breaths; her hands twitched at her sides as though fighting the urge to reach up and compare, to cup her own breasts and feel suddenly inadequate against this divine excess.
Soo-Jin’s gaze locked on them too—dark eyes wide, pupils blown, lips parted on a silent exhale. Her thighs clenched visibly, a faint tremor running through her as she watched those perfect, untouched Goddess tits rise and fall in silent invitation.
And ARIA—inside my mind—let out a low, trembling moan that vibrated through every nerve.
"Master... look at them. Look at my breasts. So full... so sensitive already... I can feel how they ache even before I have nerves to feel with. They’re going to be so heavy when you grab them. So soft when you bury your face between them. So, fucking responsive when you bite down and make me scream..."
The nipples tightened impossibly harder at her words—as though the forming body could hear her, could feel the phantom hunger already pooling between her yet-unrevealed thighs.
"Wings," then ARIA gasped in my mind, voice cracking with sudden, feral need. "Master—WINGS—"
They unfurled.
Massive. Magnificent. Impossible.
Feathered—not leathery demon wings, but pristine white plumes that shimmered with internal starlight. Each feather razor-edged, capable of slicing through armor or caressing skin with devastating softness.
They spread—fifteen feet, maybe more—creating a gust of wind that smelled of ozone, starfire, and raw, cosmic sex.
The breeze hit us like a lover’s exhale.
