Chapter 600: New Information
Chapter 600: New Information
"..." After having sex with Azraelith, I came to take a bath. Fortunately, going to the bathroom is still allowed even though I'm being punished, and because of the strong smell, I really needed a bath.
And to my surprise, Evangeline is in here. I sink gently into the water, staring at her as she stares back at me.
"Your breasts are so soft, Pandora… Have you shrunk a bit since the last time I saw you at the castle?" she says, her gaze unwavering.
"Something like that. I got cuter for my big sister… What about you? Are you enjoying living with my mother? She seems to take good care of you." That's what really surprises me; I expected less.
"Yes, I'm very happy here. She's been explaining a lot of things to me, even using magic to forcibly return some of my old memories… I still don't remember much, but I've regained a little bit of the past." She says this with a smile on her face.
"That's great, Evangeline. What do you remember? Could you tell me, since you're sort of my aunt?"
"Hmm… I remember that Echidna was really cute in the past, and also that we used to have sex when—"
"Wait… no, don't say it. Omit that specific detail."
"…Does it gross you out, Pandora? Though, it was kind of strange, but I liked it." I look at Evangeline with a strange expression.
"Really?"
"Uh-huh. Her monster form, even if it wasn't exactly beautiful, was pretty intense." Evangeline drools as she says this.
'Pervert.'
"Forget that. I want something more interesting."
"Hmm…"
'Why does she keep letting out those moans before she talks?' It's starting to get frustrating, and I have a time limit for my bath since I'm being punished.
"Pandora… hmm… Wasn't Echidna not very smart? I'm not sure about that, but from the little memory that came to me, Echidna was like the stupid sister of the family. Her intellect was pretty low."
"She was clever, but not intelligent. She could learn things with some effort, and she was good at observing and copying, but rationally, her intelligence wasn't much different from an animal's, like a crow, for example. Besides that, she had a terrible memory for things that didn't matter, so she was always forgetting things and saying words wrong."
"From what I see now, she seems to have changed a lot compared to the little I know from my current memories… but if there's one thing that's changed, it's that she's become extremely beautiful!"
"She was cute before, but now she's so seductive! It seems like cuteness and seduction run in the family, don't they, Pandora?" She raises her eyebrows repeatedly at me in a suggestive way.
"I don't know what to say about that, especially knowing that Mommy wasn't very intelligent… Ah, do you know why Mommy was a monster? Mommy never mentioned that." Now that truly sparks my curiosity.
"Hmm… h-hhmm… I do know… it's among my memories, but it's very fragmented. Apparently, it's something about balance between the forces of the universe, that chaos and harmony have to exist in equal measure. Echidna was supposed to be the Goddess of Chaos, but she ended up becoming the Goddess of the Abyss."
"The reason she's a monster is that all the other goddesses are of [Races] in general, whereas, as you know, monsters aren't considered a race."
'Goddess of Chaos… that's truly curious, considering all Demon Kings gain control over chaos magic… it does seem like truthful information, in fact.' Many goddesses gained titles linked to their creations, so I don't really know the criteria that define each title.
"Evangeline, do you remember any other dead goddesses?"
"…No… I barely remember any goddess, but I think this is more like a limitation. Echidna clearly doesn't want to give me any memories connected to other goddesses. I don't know how she's returning my memories, but it seems like she's making only memories about me and about herself come back."
'That's so like Mommy.' She's controlling. Obviously, she won't want to lose control over her "pet" that is Evangeline. I doubt Mommy really sees Evangeline as a sister; after all, the way she's treating Evangeline is the same way someone treats a beloved animal that's nothing more than a pet.
"H-Hmm…"
"Evangeline, stop moaning."
"S-Sorry, it's just so good."
"?"
"What the hell! You're masturbating to my image!" I say, irritated with her.
"J-Just a second…" She curls up in the water before letting out a warm sigh.
"Any more questions?"
"Tsk… I do, but first tell me, roughly how much memory have you recovered?"
"About 10% or so. Echidna said in the end I can recover about 40%, and nothing beyond that since my soul doesn't have those memories stored anymore."
'What a surprise, more than I expected considering it hasn't even been that long since Evangeline came to live here…' I think about when to take them out of here.
'Baeh'Wa… I'll probably have to remove Baeh'Wa's levels and seal her status so she has a maximum of level 10,000…' Outside the Abyss, beings with levels in the billions would be problematic.
"Evangeline, what do you and my mother plan to do after leaving the Abyss?"
"Ah, we'll have a sweet life together. I know full well the image she has of me; I'm not an idiot, but she really does love me, and I like her a lot, so I think we can have a happy life for a while…"
'For a while… so not even Evangeline is very confident about her future with Echidna… Well, she's still a human. I guess even she knows her limits and that she can't handle Echidna like she did in the past.' In the past, Evangeline, before dying as a goddess, wouldn't have had so many problems with my mother.
But now she's fragile and weak. One slap from my mother would kill her, so Evangeline will be walking on eggshells all the time. She can never let my mother lose her temper, which, let's be honest, must be pretty difficult. My mother, even if she doesn't show it clearly, is a woman who gets stressed easily.
"Evangeline, I still have some questions, so…"
"Wait, Pandora… I want something in return. You're just getting information from me! So give your auntie something here!"
"…" I stare at this depraved woman, and I wonder if it's worth it, considering my questions and I don't even know everything she knows.
'Haaa… fine… it should be worth it…' I want to know about where she lived. For me, the world outside the Abyss will now be like an extremely fragile film of glass. Even reality itself shatters like glass if I overdo it with magic.
I can no longer live in a normal environment without eventually damaging everything around me, but all the goddesses manage it. And it's not just self-control; it's a mix of self-control and a reinforced location to withstand them.
Like Delphina's palace. The doors to Delphina's room withstood her blows during our sex, showing that those structures only break if Delphina deliberately starts breaking them, but they withstand general blows and moments where control slips unintentionally.
"Fine, what do you want, Evangeline? I'll give it in exchange for knowing about your memories of the environment you and Mommy lived in. I want to know everything: what magics reinforced the place, what material the floor was made of, the walls, the ceiling, everything."
"It doesn't matter if it's a strange material or if you don't remember clearly, as long as you explain it, I should be able to recreate it using my abilities." I'll use [Essence of Creation] to create these materials and reinforce the environments where I'll live.
"Oh, I remember that! I remember because it comes with a memory of Echidna gnawing on a wall when I played a prank on her, telling her everything was edible. A terrible idea because in my memory, when I found her, she had already gnawed through half the furniture in our house." Evangeline gives an amused smile as she says this.
"Great… so what do you want in exchange for explaining that to me?"
"Hmm… you know, I love your mother, but her milk jugs, despite being full, are a forbidden zone. She hates it when I try to drink her delicious milk, so I want yours." She gives a wicked smile.
'Ah, right… Mommy produces milk too… I had even forgotten about that.' Her milk is really tasty, indeed. I look at my breasts. Because of that tentacle bitch, my body never stopped producing this stuff.
In the past, it was uncomfortable, but now? Now it's almost like a natural part of me that I no longer pay attention to and just ignore. If Evangeline only wants this to explain something so important that will help me during my life outside the Abyss, then it's fine by me.
"Sure, that's fine. I really don't mind, as long as you actually give me useful information." I shrug while Evangeline seems to melt on the spot.
'Should I feel excited?…' I don't feel anything. It's not that a pretty girl doesn't get me going, but attraction and sexual amusement have cooled down a lot, which just shows how much I adore my sister since she made my interest in sex come back very strong.
"…" Evangeline starts walking through the water, approaching me. That little smile she gives is kind of disgusting.
"One moment. Don't touch anything other than my breasts. If you do, I'll do something you'll deeply regret."
"…Understood, Pandora! Don't worry! This alone is enough for me. I won't go beyond the limit! Think of it as a massage. I bet your breasts hurt, don't they? Leave it to me; I'll massage them gently while we have a girl's chat."
'A girl's chat, huh…' I nod at her. She's right about what she said. It's like a conversation between girls in the bath, nothing too exaggerated or overly sexualized, perfect for an exchange of information.
