The previous incident with Metis had plunged the entire world into panic. To soothe the fragile young hearts of the students, the school had given a few days off.
Although the surface of the world appeared peaceful, due to the existence of Demon Kings and gods, the world occasionally faced two destructive crises. Panic and fear were absolute, but after experiencing them numerous times, people in this world had become accustomed to them. Although they were still panicked and afraid, as soon as the crisis passed, everyone went back to doing what they usually did.
The government's explanations were nothing more than various natural disasters. Even though people knew these were misleading lies, they were too lazy to pursue the matter further. They were just ordinary people; they simply wanted to live their own small lives well. Why bother inviting trouble upon themselves?!
It must be said that after centuries of constant stimulation, the psychological resilience of the people in this world had become quite high.
Taking advantage of these few days off, Sora decided he could no longer waste his time; he had to do something meaningful!
Hmm, then he would 'devour' Ena and the few girls sent by the Seishuuin family. Sora had already done this on the night the battle ended…
Both Ena and the nine secret sword maidens were 'devoured' by Sora, not a single one left!
What surprised Sora somewhat was that Ena, who was usually bold and carefree, would actually be shy and try to escape at the crucial moment. However, Sora did not let her go. Moreover, he had promised to punish her before, so not only was she completely 'devoured', but poor Ena also became a special focus of Sora's attention.
Ahem, as a result, the others recovered after just one day in bed, while Ena stayed in bed for a full two days.
Of course, besides Ena and the Secret Sword Maidens, Sora didn't let Metis Sora off the hook either. Moreover, this guy's wickedness knew no bounds; he even made Athena and Metis recover their true forms as the Trinity Queen to serve him together!
Although Athena was so mortified and enraged that she immediately manifested the Scythe of Death, intending to cleave this incorrigible bastard, from the moment they forged the pact, this Queen's unable-to-resist and "miserable" life was already predestined.
Seeing Athena dare to strike at her own master, Metis instantly exploded. She also manifested the Scythe of Death and started hacking away at Athena.
Watching Athena and Metis hacking and slashing at each other, Sora was amused. He simply summoned the King's Sword and joined in. Of course, this scoundrel naturally helped Metis hack at Athena.
The outcome goes without saying; by the time Athena was hacked down by Sora and Metis and dragged towards the room, she was so filled with regret that she almost cried. "What a foolish decision I made back then, Metis, you traitor who deserves to die a horrible death!"
Well, whether Metis would die a horrible death was something Athena couldn't see, because she herself was being tormented to death by a certain person, and with Metis's help, no less.
For the next few days, Sora actually did some proper business. Ahem, this time it was definitely pure, honestly...
To enhance the combat prowess of the girls, Sora performed divine power blessings on all nine Secret Sword Maidens. The Great Witch and Karen, along with the other girls, had used up all their divine power in previous battles, so Sora replenished their magic as well.
Sora felt quite speechless about being a Demon King, having completely turned into a charging station for these girls. But since they were all his women, Sora didn't mind. Once these girls were all properly trained, he wouldn't have to bother personally when encountering enemies in the future; he could just let them handle it. If one wasn't enough, they could gang up on them!
As genius maidens selected and nurtured by the Seishuuin clan, the Secret Sword Maidens' talent was naturally beyond question. After a short period of adaptation training with divine power, the girls' strength soared rapidly.
As for Ena, Sora forbade her from borrowing the power of Susanoo or other deities in the future. Although the power of those deities could greatly increase her strength in battle, it would also harm Ena's body and shorten her lifespan. If not handled properly, she could even be consumed and controlled, as happened last time.
Although she pouted intensely, showing her extreme displeasure, Ena was still very obedient to Sora, especially after being thoroughly 'disciplined' by him. Even this wild and spirited princess miko of the sword dared not defy her King's wishes.
Seeing Ena's aggrieved and pitiful expression, black lines appeared on Sora's forehead, and he gently tapped Ena's small head.
Although she couldn't use the power of other deities, it didn't mean she couldn't use his. Since he had forged a pact with Ena, using his power would not cause her any harm. Furthermore, Sora would find it a great pity if Ena's Incarnation Master ability was wasted. As long as his divine power supply was sufficient, combined with the power of the divine sword Ame no Murakumo, Ena's strength could fully reach the level of a God Slayer!
After hearing Sora's explanation, Ena immediately became excited. Previously, borrowing power from those deities was troublesome and even harmful to her. Now that she could freely use her King's power, she was naturally delighted.
Ena always had a quirk: whenever she got happy and excited, she wanted to find someone to spar with or practice against. Sparring with her King was out of the question; she wasn't looking for trouble. But sparring with Erica and Liliana was certainly an option.
Whether for the purpose of friendly practice or to prove who was superior, the three girls instantly hit it off and fiercely engaged in battle in the training ground behind the villa.
In terms of actual strength, the three girls were pretty evenly matched. However, as time went on, Erica and Liliana started to run out of steam. In contrast, Ena, with her Incarnation Master ability, could continuously draw upon Sora's power, growing stronger the longer she fought.
Seeing Erica and Liliana being beaten back by her, Ena couldn't describe how satisfying it felt. For these detestable women who had usurped her position as her King's knight, Ena had wanted to do this for a long time!
Watching Ena's arrogant and smug expression, Erica and Liliana fumed internally. They exchanged glances, and their rivalry ceased; they united forces and attacked Ena together. What was initially a three-way free-for-all now became Erica and Liliana ganging up on Ena.
It proves that ganging up on someone is shameful, but the power of ganging up is immense!
Caught off guard by the two girls, Ena cursed them for being shameless, but her arrogance also completely vanished.
Although the two girls' faces were flushed and they felt quite embarrassed, they might not have done such shameless things in the past. However, after being influenced so much by their "Demon King" master, Erica and Liliana had developed thicker skins. As long as they could bring down that arrogant and smug brat Ena, they didn't care!
Watching his three knight maidens fighting fiercely, Sora stroked his chin, feeling that this was not a good sign. Although it hadn't reached the point of causing division or infighting, Sora would not tolerate even the slightest hint of it!
A wicked smile playing on his lips, Sora immediately had a good idea. He leaped into the fray and joined the battle.
Sora was different from a certain foolish Ena; he wouldn't make the same mistake of letting three girls gang up on him. As he jumped into the battle, he released his two loli enforcers, Metis and Athena, along with Hugging Bear. Now it was a fair three-on-three, and no one could gain an advantage.
Well, a Demon King and two deities—if that's not gaining an advantage, what is? How utterly shameless was this guy?!
Having been badly bullied by the two shameless scoundrels, Sora and Metis, Athena had long been simmering with anger. Who else could she vent her frustrations on if not these three unlucky girls? So Athena, with a ferocious expression, put her full strength into striking!
As for Metis, she would strike whoever her master told her to.
Of course, this inherently fierce loli goddess was also careful with her strikes. Her master had instructed her not to break them; they had to be kept for future teasing!
Feeling her master was truly brilliant, wise, and far-sighted, Metis showed no mercy while still ensuring the three girls weren't damaged!
Watching the three girls being repeatedly defeated by his two loli enforcers, Sora felt like he was just a bystander. But bystander or not, he also wanted to strike!
Bullied by Sora, Athena, and Metis, these three shameless Demon King and deities, in a completely overwhelming manner, Erica, Liliana, and Ena were utterly frustrated. Surrendering was impossible; whoever dared to cry surrender would receive "special attention" from these three shameless individuals!
Being miserably bullied, the three maidens finally cast aside their slight differences and united. However, even so, by the time the three demons were satisfied and done playing, the three girls were utterly dishevelled and nearly collapsed from exhaustion.
Smiling as he looked at his three knight maidens, Sora nodded contentedly. After this battle, these three girls should be able to unite, for they were indeed good sisters standing on the same frontline!
However, to make them remember this point even more clearly, Sora felt he should put in a little more effort!
Under the pitiful and sympathetic gazes of the other girls in the house, Sora carried Erica, Liliana, and Ena into the bathroom. He stripped the three girls clean and washed them thoroughly. Hmm—
Then he began to feast!
This time, the three girls finally experienced what it meant to suffer together, teetering on the edge of life and death again and again.
When they cried out to the heavens but received no answer, cried out to the earth but received no response, and cried out to a certain demon, only for that demon to relentlessly bully them, they finally understood that at such a moment, the only ones who could help and save them were their two other sisters!
Watching the three maidens finally awaken and show expressions of united determination, Sora's lips curled into a smile. His goal was finally achieved.
Hmm, although the goal had been achieved, he might as well continue to bully them, even if only to prove himself...
