‘My name is Tiamat. Do not forget our promise during your coming adventures.’

Damien smirked as he received the mental transmission. ‘Bitch, you’re more desperate than I thought.’

He had no good feelings for the Nox Demigod named Tiamat. From the second she decided to torture him needlessly, his grudge became something she couldn’t escape.

‘Just wait. I’ll definitely come free you. On that day, you’ll start maid training under Elitra.’

In fact, Elitra was already receiving maid training in the Sanctuary, learning to control herself somewhat. The quarrels between her and little Xue for his attention were far less frequent than they used to be.

‘Speaking of the Sanctuary, I wonder how that plan is coming along?’

Damien’s figure disappeared from the First Dungeon. When he appeared in the Sanctuary, he immediately spread his awareness to a certain area to the west of the large mountain in the middle.

‘Hmm, looks like training has started, but they aren’t anywhere near where I want them to be. Maybe I should push them…’

Where his gaze was directed stood a large dormitory where a group of 10 men and women stayed. They were the beginning of an elite squad Damien was in the process of forming.

There were 3 Phoenixes, 4 Elves, and 3 Dragons. They were also chosen so that their specialties complemented each other. However…

‘Currently, they aren’t even united. Their loyalties lay in the leaders they follow instead of me. While this isn’t bad for the common populace, I can’t have it for a team that’ll become my strength in the future.’

To build this team would need time and effort. For now, it wasn’t even worth mentioning.

‘By the time we finish up in Niflheim, I’ll have them combat-ready.’

Thinking such thoughts, Damien exited the Sanctuary. This time, his visit was only to check on them.

‘The Sanctuary really is strange, though…’

Damien didn’t know what his role in the Sanctuary was supposed to be. The dynamic he was setting made it ambiguous.

He owned the Sanctuary and he was its creator, but he didn’t take an active role in its development. Instead, he quietly watched over them unless he needed something.

He didn’t know how his lax attitude towards the society growing in the Sanctuary would impact him in the future, but he didn’t mind it much.

The Sanctuary was its own world, and the people who lived in it would have their own lifestyles and governments. In the end, it was already a requirement for every 4th class in the Sanctuary to submit to him through a System Oath, which was inviolable.

He didn’t need to worry about betrayal.

Returning his senses to what was happening in the real plane, Damien spread his awareness in search of Alea.

‘So this is your decision.’ He commented inwardly. As he watched, Alea conversed happily with the residents around her, experiencing their culture with a smile on her face.

Though he didn’t care which decision she made in the end, he had to say that his impression of her improved somewhat when he saw her choice.

It wasn’t easy to forgo power for morality, it was a choice not many would make. Especially in a place like this where there was nobody around to judge that decision, making it was admirable.

Damien shook his head. ‘She’s the leader of the Beast Domain. It’d be stranger if she didn’t feel something after seeing a second Beast Domain in the dungeon. But since she won’t be training anymore…’

It was time for them to leave. The subjugation on the surface would soon reach its conclusion as well.

***

“You look like you enjoyed yourself,” Damien commented to Alea.

The day already ended and the two left the city on the 86th floor. Currently, Damien was accompanying Alea as she cleaned out the higher floors before they left.

“To be honest, I had more fun than I was expecting. My hubby really knows how to pick a good date spot.” Alea smiled and responded.

“Try calling me that around my wives and see how fast you die.”

“They aren’t powerful enough to kill me, though~?”

“You’d be surprised,” Damien remarked with a grin. “Those three have an unexpected level of synergy. Even I might struggle if they work together.”

p anda nOvel.cO,m “Are you implying that you’re stronger than me?”

Damien quirked his brow. “Am I not?”

Dragon Pressure leaked from his body, immediately causing Alea to lose strength in her legs.

“Ahh~! This doesn’t count~!” Alea protested while squirming in pleasure.

“Really? You won’t admit defeat?”

“Never!” Alea exclaimed defiantly.

“Okay.” Damien shrugged. He retracted his Dragon Pressure easily, leaving Alea stuck trying to catch her breath.

“Wait…I change my mind…you’re stronger than me, I admit it, so use your pressure again.” She panted.

Damien glanced at her in disdain. “I bet nobody in the Beast Domain would’ve expected their Empress to be a hopeless pervert. The Beast Emperor really starved you, huh.”

Alea shuddered. With the state she was currently in, even Damien’s look of disdain was giving her endless pleasure.

“Stop…no more…I can’t take it~” Alea moaned.

Damien sighed helplessly. For just a single second, Dragon Pressure emitted from his body once more.

But that single second was enough to send Alea over the edge. While she experienced orgasmic bliss, Damien left her alone and returned to the 20th floor of the dungeon.

Looking at the small shack where he spent his days between training and killing, a warm smile unknowingly crept up his face.

‘It’s still a work in progress, but I’ve really grown. It’s hard not to be proud of myself when I remember the old days.’

Damien spent a few moments in reminiscence as he looked at the house. But, reminiscence was just that. To leave things in the past and move forward…

Now that he saw this place again with his own eyes, he was finally ready to do it.

After spending some more time retracing his steps from years ago, Damien returned to Alea.

“Ready to leave now?” He asked, ignoring the puddle of clear liquid she was sitting in.

“Haa…haa…not ready…can’t walk…too much pleasure…” Alea responded.

“Alright. I’ll leave you here and return alone. I’ll come back for you in a few days.”

“W-wait! I suddenly feel better now!” Alea exclaimed, jumping up off the floor and patting herself down.

Damien looked away. No matter how indifferent he tried to act, Alea really made it too hard on him.

The way her breasts bounced with her movements, the trail of liquid between her thighs that she clearly let him see on purpose, her seduction tactics were impossible to ignore.

But Damien persevered. ‘Just a little longer. Just a little longer and I’ll be safe.’

Praying that he didn’t make a mistake, he grabbed Alea and teleported them back to the surface.

“You do whatever you want now. I’m leaving.”

Once they reached the surface, Damien was quick to leave Alea behind. The woman was too dangerous for him to stay around unless he was prepared to take another wife.

So instead of focusing on her, Damien returned to the three women he already called his own.

In specific, he went to the location of a certain blue-haired Valkyrie.

He had been stalling for too long. Even though he knew what he wanted to say, telling Elena to her face was harder than he expected.

The coming conversation would be far more difficult than the one he had with Rose. That was why he waited so long to have it.

But after spending so much time with Alea, he missed his wives. He didn’t want to have trivial problems with any of them anymore.

So it was finally time.

Time for him to settle old grievances and start anew.
