Chapter 800: Choices *

Lorelie rolled her eyes at Aphrodite while sighing before saying, “I was getting to that part, though I wouldn’t have phrased it quite that way.”

“You actually want Muriel to remove her penis?” Erkath asked.

“If she wishes to join the group relationship in the future, it is something that will have to happen, yes,” Lorelie nodded before explaining. “After much thought and consideration on the subject, Adam, as the leader of the group relationship, came to the decision that his penis alone will be the only one allowed in the relationship. However, he is also aware that I would like Muriel to join, so he came up with a compromise.

Spector's medical facilities have the capability of not only safely removing your genitalia, but also revitalising your womb, thus allowing you to bear children in the future, something your gender has long been incapable of doing.

Regardless of whether you agree to have your genitalia removed and join the group relationship, he is willing to revitalise your womb should you wish for that to happen.”

“You’re kidding?” Kasumi said, while Muriel just stared at Lorelie in shock before finally asking. “Even if I were willing to agree, there is still the issue of me not having romantic feelings for Adam. He’s a nice guy and a great streamer, but I harbour no romantic attraction towards him.”

“You know I could help you out in that regard,” Aphrodite offered with a wink.

“You're not planning to suggest that Muriel agrees to let you use your lust manipulation on her?” Rowena asked.

“Lust manipulation?” Emma repeated in confusion. “Is that the name of your power where you make people physically desire you?”

“Yes,” Aphrodite nodded. “Though, ever since I started travelling with you, I have been suppressing that power.”

“A good thing too; the last thing you want is for Adam to kick you off the ship,” Stacey remarked from Lorelie’s lap.

“Well, you're not wrong,” Aphrodite agreed. “We Succuba use lust manipulation on those we wish to feed upon; it makes them lustful towards us but also romantically attracted.”

“Until it wears off,” Erkath added.

Aphrodite nodded in agreement once again before continuing, “We can also use this ability to influence others into having lustful desires and romantic attractions towards a third party, for instance, Muriel towards Adam. However, because of how some Succuba have used this ability in the past, it is highly frowned upon.”

“I can imagine,” Emma nodded. “You could use that power to dominate an empire.”

“Such things have been attempted and even succeeded in the past,” Aphrodite nodded.

“So you're suggesting that I agree to this operation and then allow you to use your lustful manipulation powers on me and have them directed towards Adam?” Muriel asked before adding. “How can that even be called true attraction?”

“It can’t,” Aphrodite replied. “However, past uses of lustful desire have proven that those it’s used against can indeed grow real feelings towards the individual their desire is aimed at.”

“Yeah, I’m going to have to think about this,” Muriel stated with a confused look.

“That’s fine, no one expected you to decide on the spot,” Lorelie replied.

“Adam?” Revi stated as she lay on his chest while the pair relaxed on the bed after their instant session.

“Hmm?” Adam replied as he gently stroked her hair.

“Do you want to shed your mortality and become one of the long-lived?” Revi asked.

Adam glanced down at her in confusion before asking, “What, you mean like letting Rowena turn me?”

“That’s one way, but it’s not the only way; also, becoming a brood has the downside of having to feed on blood,” Revi replied before adding. “But I’m talking about letting me turn you.”

“You?” Adam asked in surprise. “Turn me into a phoenix?”

“No, but I wouldn’t mind that.” Revi giggled. “I’m talking about sharing my heart with you, not metaphorically like when two people are in love, but physically. I would transfer a part of my heart into you.”

Adam stared at her in surprise before asking, “Is that even safe?”

“As safe as when a brood attempts to turn another individual. There are never guarantees, but the odds of failure are slim.”

“How would that even work? And what are the downsides?”

“I would perform a ritual similar to the life-bound ritual and share my heart with you while taking part of yours in return,” Revi explained. “Doing so would bind us together forever in both life and death. You would never be a Phoenix, but you might gain a small amount of my power; however, the main point is that when one of us dies, so too would the other before we are both reborn.”

Asam was silent for a few moments while he processed this information before asking, “I’m assuming I won’t be reborn as an egg since I won’t be a phoenix?”

“No,” Revi chuckled. “You would be reborn as a baby and grow up like any normal man.”

“I can’t even comprehend how that could happen,” Adam stated. “You coming back as an egg is one thing, but me coming back as a baby is something totally different.”

“I’m not going to say why it works like that because honestly we don’t know, but history shows that’s what happens to the humanoid races granted a piece of Phoenix heart.”

“Does this happen often then?”

“Not at all,” Revi replied while shaking her head as she began to draw circles on Adam’s chest with her fingers. “As with the life-bound ritual, a phoenix needs to be absolutely certain when considering giving someone their heart. In fact, it’s from this that the life-bound contract came about.”

“So what happens to you if you were to give me part of your heart? What side effects would you receive?” Adam asked in concern.

Revi smiled upon hearing the concern in his voice before saying reassuringly, “Nothing extra. I would be bound to your life as much as you are to mine. I would just have to put up with your perverted tendencies for the rest of eternity.”

“Those perverted tendencies don’t seem to be a deal breaker for you?” Adam retorted while giving her ass a quick squeeze.

“Not at all,” Revi replied while giving his cock a quick squeeze in return before adding. “If you had been from one of the other races that had powers of their own, I may have gotten a bit of that power just as you might get a bit of mine, but since you're not, nothing much will change.”

Adam was silent for a long time after that, causing Revi to push herself up and look into his eyes while saying, “There’s no rush to decide; you have this entire life to think about it. Just know the offer is there, as I want to spend the rest of eternity with you and this amazing thing.” As she said that, she reached out and began to rub his cock, making it hard once again.

“Oh, so that’s the real reason,” Adam teased. “You can’t stand the thought of losing my cock now you’ve had a taste.”

Revi moved her face right in front of his so that their lips brushed before saying silkily, “Just shut up and fuck this empress.”

Elsewhere on Aqua Primus, Merle Nosferatu rolled out of bed naked, and as she stood up, she couldn’t help but release a hiss of pain as she glared back at her sleeping boyfriend. {Fuck, sex with you is wild, but I always suffer for it the next morning, you bastard.}

She headed for their hotel room's kitchen to get herself a drink, and as she did, she glanced at her uniband only to see that she had dozens of messages and hundreds of missed calls from her sister.

{Why the fuck is she bombarding me so much? Ignoring the old man's instructions doesn’t warrant this kind of response. Let's see what's got her underwear in a twist.] After thinking this, Merle began to read some of the messages.

[Tierney Nosferatu: FOR FUCK SACKS MERLE ANSWER MY DAMN CALLS!]

[Tierney Nosferatu: You need to get off Aqua Primus.]

[Tierney Nosferatu: Please answer; this is important, your life's in danger.]

“My life?” Merle scoffed and decided to ignore the messages when suddenly she received another call from her sister. Figuring that she would never stop until she spoke to her, Merle sighed before answering the call.

“ABOUT FUCKING TIME, YOU STUPID BITCH, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I’VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU? NO, FORGET THAT, GET OFF AQUA PRIMUS NOW!”

Merle held her uniband as far away from her as possible because of her sister's screams before saying, “Whoa, calm down, Tierney. I’m barely following you.”

“Calm down? Calm Down? Your life's fucking in danger, and you tell me to calm down.”

“How's my life in danger?” Merle scoffed. “I’m simply having a relaxing holiday, well, relaxing during the day anyway. Hehe.”

“I don’t care what you and your boyfriend are getting up to because Stacey’s boyfriend is out for your head; he’s out for all our heads, and he’s on Aqua Primus right now.”
