It was just around that time when I finished the design for my car. Yes, I have finally decided to fix it up. It will be a good way to waste time before the main Docks are finished. 

Honestly, I haven't done anything with my own two hands for months now. It was also a good reminder that I'm a mechanic too…

But, back to the matter at hand. I'd just sensed a...divine signature similar to Artemis entering through the eastern border.

Focusing on the connection to the Diamond Core Network set up in my nation, I dived right into it. My vision quickly travelled through the barrier, one could say I was travelling as fast as I was in my Scale Mail, in just a few moments I finally saw her...

My first thought about her was that she was like Sona…on steroids. Her glasses were of similar shape, her gaze was similar to Sera's little sister. The difference was that she had an aura of authority and arrogance. But, it was quite masked by her more intellectual disposition.

This beauty was travelling at a rabid speed towards the closest city.

'Not gonna lie...that hoplite armour she is wearing makes her look hot.' I thought to myself. Honestly, I have never seen hoplite armour in person before. The only thing I remember is that movie with Brad Pitt...Troy was it? I wonder if Helen was truly that hot?

'So many questions I want answers to… anyway… Athena...sweetheart… let's see how smart you truly are. If you can track me down, we will have a date.' With an amused smile, I stopped tracking her and opened my eyes.

"Marcus...Master… we have a new arrival." Quinella said as she opened her eyes and looked at me. Waiting for an answer.

"Indeed…can you tell me who she is with the details you saw?" I asked curiously. I moved closer to her and pulled this beauty into my lap. Now that she has a proper body, it doesn't feel as weird and annoying to hold her like that.

I mean she is incredibly beautiful and I couldn't do anything to her! It was an annoying period in my life! I even regretted giving her such a hot form before!

However...that annoyance disappeared completely today! I wrapped my hands around her much tighter and waited for her to answer.

"Hmm… it's not hard… I only know one Greek Goddess who wears battle armour. It's Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Warfare.

My guess is she is here for Artemis." She said while leaning into me completely. She closed her eyes and enjoyed my body heat.

I nodded at her answer, my hand went to her cheek, gently stroking it. A bright smile appeared on her face. She was enjoying quite a bit of my attention and, yes… I was having quite a bit of fun pampering her.

While I wanted to do nothing but pamper her and have my way with her, there is still something I need to do and that is to see how smart the Greek Goddess of Wisdom truly is.

Such an incredible piece of collection travelling through my lands. I need to figure out just how much she lives up to her reputation as a Goddess of Wisdom.

With just my thoughts alone, a holographic window popped in front of me. It was a map of the country. Mentally going through filters, I tagged the moving target on it, and named it Athena. Picking some S.P.B.A. from the barracks, I send the command to start tracking the Goddess, and of course, give command for the rangers to move as well.

'I really should get the designs for the Bounty Hunters done soon.' 

Once everything was in place, I closed the window. Not even once touching it… talk about convenience. I wonder how Athena will feel when I mention to her that I ordered her surveillance and the game with just a mental command?

Oh, yes, I have some ideas already planned for her…

"What are your plans for her? You hunted Artemis down… are you going to outsmart the Goddess of Wisdom?" Quinella asked me as she watched what I did on the screen.

"No. I want to see how smart she is. How does one consider a God of Wisdom? Can she produce the same amount of processing power as you? Or can she analyse close to your speed. I am curious about her capacity."

Quinella slightly snorted hearing that.

"That's ridiculous. I have a direct link to a processing facility. There doesn't exist a being who has my processing capacity in this world. Theoretically, it should not even be possible with magic. I am capable of doing at least a trillion different calculations at once without even overclocking. I am not even including the simulations.

You designed me for perfection and no one from the previous generations can compete with that." She said with absolute certainty.

'Previous generations'… she picked that up from me when I called the Sacred Gears made by Big G as last Gen. My beautiful assistant expanded on that. And named all the pantheons last Gen.

"You forgot that you can always expand the Processing facility and the processors can be and will be updated." I reminded that to her.

"O-Of course! Silly of me! Like always, my master is right!" She said that with a self-satisfied nod.

After hearing that, I could only chuckle at her.

~~~

With a tired sigh, Latia returned to The Base. She was done for the day. She can finally return and rest in her boyfriend's hands.

The hunt members have properly settled down, the shops soon are going to open. The phones are properly stocked up, the human staff has been hired and trained. The blonde devil beauty made sure they were as tight-lipped as possible. Even some magic was used for that.

Honestly, without her clan's assistance, she wouldn't have been able to do all that any time soon.

Then...for the last, the land acquisitions. The land for the maglev was acquired, now all she needed to acquire wass that enormous space in the area the locals call the 'Highlands'.

She was somewhat baffled that such a small country has 4 different dialects!

Anyway… for that land, she is going to need to get her hands on some of the politicians in the government. It's far too wide and far too eye-catching… It's a massive land with some small forests and even a village…

Maglev track space would be similar but it's much less wide and not as big. Besides, she made the land bought off by her relatives as well. After all, the only purpose for them is having tracks built on them… this enormous piece of land is going to be a space elevator!

She is planning to buy much more land for the simple reason that they would have a much wider gap to put fences… Latia doesn't want Marcus to catapult people into space for entering his private land. Her gut feeling is telling her that he would do it. Powering the space elevator just to slingshot the wandering people into space.

So, simply put, she needs that space acquired and getting the government on her side is the key to making an entire village disappear…

'Thankfully, money is not a problem… Honestly, I could just offer cars, laptops, and even discounts for the upcoming tech Marcus' shops will be selling…' The beauty thought with a smile, she was starting to get into her business-woman persona.

As she walked into the living room, she saw her Master getting quite touchy with Quinella. Now she knows that Marcus doesn't truly get extremely touchy with the Artificial Intelligence because Quinella was just a hologram… but this? This is something else…

Eventually, the teen inventor noticed Latia and he smiled at her.

"Welcome back sweetheart, my thanks for such hard work." Marcus thanked her with a sincere tone that made the beauty blush for a second. Honestly, all she did was simple work compared to what he can do…

However, she saw the slightly annoyed and calculating look Quinella had. Honestly, the blonde devil was somewhat weirded out seeing her… she could feel... power from the Artificial Intelligence…

That moment, Latia's eyes went wide because she understood what was going on!

"Y-Y-You… finished her Project!?" The blonde beauty asked with a flabbergasted voice! This means he can properly create and engineer life! To perfection! This is… way beyond anything she saw or heard in her life! Such precision in life creation was never done before! None! Even pantheons which created life never had such control over what they created! 

"Well, she finished herself." He said with a shrug. This sounded far too weird to Latia… but, then again, Marcus already had all the tools ready. All that was left was to make Quinella transfer herself into her new body…

This however caught her off-guard. A real threat has appeared before her and as she is quite tired at the moment, she can't play the game properly…

"Right, so, if Latia is here that means it's quite late." The teen inventor said to them as he looked at the clock.

It's just past eleven and close to midnight… this made him blink a couple of times… he then looked at the ceiling and saw that it was indeed nighttime…

"Damn… I was quite into this…"

Hearing that, Quinella puffed out her chest.

"It is to be expected, Marcus. I was created by you. So it's natural for you to be more interested in me than in the surroundings." She said with such self-confidence in tone. Pride was leaking through her words. The beauty knows she is hot. She was made to be hot after all.

"I suppose you are right." He said that while leaning forward and kissing her neck.

"Mhh~~~" The silver-haired beauty softly moaned for a bit, the kiss was short, and the silver-haired assistant wanted more but Marcus pulled back and looked at Latia.

"Well, Do you wish to eat or get something to drink?" He asked. Making the blonde slightly smile. Yep, even with Quinella in his hands he still cares about her. This means that Latia has not lost it and she can fight back.

"I am fine. I had my meal in the office. However, I would appreciate company when we retire to the bedroom." She suggested simply.

The silver-haired assistant instantly frowned, she wanted to keep her master to herself that night! 

But, Marcus already moved with purpose. He got on his feet, making Quinella quickly wrap herself around him.

"Let's move then. It's quite late." The teen said as he started walking toward the bedroom.

As the black-haired teen passed through, Quinella looked on with a pissed off look at Latia. The blond simply smiled back at her.

'I am a devil sweetheart. You may be a 'perfect' creation. But, I am a being of sin.' The blonde beauty thought to herself. One thing is for sure, she can always use Marcus' lust for her.

'I know. I won't forget that next time.' 

Latia felt chills going down her spine when she heard Quinella speaking in her head! 

She realised that this woman has psionic powers. An energy she never heard of and has no idea of its true capacities…

Still, she simply sighed and decided to just roll with it. As long as she does her duties and stays the way she is, she will always be next to her Master.

Realising that she just needs to stick to her guns, she followed the inventor to his room.

~~(R-18 ahead, skip to '(End of Smut)' if you wish to skip!)~~

"I will take a shower before joining you, Master~~~" The blonde beauty said before walking towards the bathroom.

Marcus simply nodded at her before looking at Quinella which he had laid on the bed. The beauty looked coyly at him. There was some healthy blush on her face.

This was it! She is finally joining him in this! The beauty wanted this as long as she could remember. And one could say a lot of time has passed. As an artificial intelligence, she watched over countless simulations, warping her understanding of time flow considerably.

To the point that she believes she has spent centuries doing things…

Once again, one of the reasons why she is in awe and annoyance with her Master's technology…

However, now is not the time for this as she watched Marcus approaching her. Both of them were sitting on the bed looking at each other for a moment before starting their kiss.

Quinella was already getting the hang of this as her tongue duelled with Marcus quite fiercely.

Before long, the teen just pushed her forward and made her lay on the bed on her back. Moments later, his hands sneaked under her knitted sweater, pulling it up. This made them stop kissing as he wanted to remove her clothes.

Quickly enough, she lost her sweater before taking off her t-shirt as well… Now he could see her white bra and beautiful tummy.

"Fufufu… this is amusing, I just put them on and now you are taking them off… maybe I should just be naked all the time?" She said that jokingly, seeing her clothes which she meticulously chose while surfing the web. Looking for specific colours. Even watching some videos from clothing designers to make colours fit each other.

Now, all that just gets taken off, just like that… 

"In my bedroom? Of course. Outside? Nope." He said while tracing fingers through her skin. Making her experience true pleasure for the first time.

"Ohh~~~ O-Of course… silly of me~~~" She gulped with a hot breath. This alone was enough to make her feel hot!

'Master is truly good! As expected~~~' Quinella thought lustfully as she started to get into this.

Before long, Marcus hand went up to her bra and very masterfully got it off, throwing it away to where her other clothes were.

Now he could see her perfectly shaped breasts. He gazed at them for a bit before diving into them. The beauty smiled seeing his reaction but that was only for a short moment because mere seconds later she was assaulted by extreme pleasure.

Something similar to an electrical current washing her whole body over, her eyes widened and a loud moan escaped from her lips. She was not expecting such pleasure from such a simple action.

This didn't stop as Marcus continued with his attack making the beauty slightly panic as she didn't know how to control such exposure to pleasure!

Before long, she was breathing hard and sweat was pouring down from her forehead. Each time his tongue swirled around her nipple she moaned heavily, and Marcus was taking in that sexy moan the girl was releasing just for him.

Still, he couldn't just play with her breasts as he needed to taste more of her so he travelled down from her peaks towards the flatlands. Enjoying her incredible stomach before descending lower toward the last piece of clothing.

Quinella's white panties were already damp. So, Marcus quickly removed them. Exposing her wet pussy to the world. His fingers stroked around her entrance. Instantly, Quinella sharply inhaled. She was not expecting the pleasure to increase even more! Whatever reason she had, she realised that her cave is the most sensitive part of the body! Nonetheless! This was not the time to think with her head!

Marcus ignored whatever confusion Quinella was having, instead he started stroking her damp pussy with his finger and getting rewarded with sexy moans from the girl.

"It would seem that there is very little work needed here. We can move on to the next part."  His words made the already delirious silver-haired beauty realise that she is about to get fucked hard as she saw him pulling out his hard rod.

Even with her clouded mind, she gulped down knowing that she was going to get railed hard. Something she wants either way… nonetheless, she is nervous…

Soon enough, Marcus pointed the tip of his hard rod at her entrance and brushed the head at the lips making her squirm as she felt something hot touching her sensitive place like that!

"Hahhh~~~Stop teasing me~~~" She whined in an extremely pouty tone.

After hearing such a plea, Marcus pushed his cock into her velvet cave, starting to claim the beauty for real. That moment a throatful moan escaped from Quinella's lips; she just came hard from the insertion alone.

Marcus was slightly baffled by that but it was good for the girl because her pussy just got much wetter. 

He waited for a bit before pushing in hard. Quickly he arrived at her proof of maidenhood. 

"W-Wait~~~ I just~~~ Ahhh~~~" 

With a hard push, he went past her barrier and fully submerged in her depths. Marcus groaned at how tight and perfect her cave was while the silver-haired assistant of his just grimaced for a bit.

She knew it was going to hurt, but her new body just went through an array of feelings from peak pleasure to extreme pain… simply put, she doesn't know what to feel! This was new to her and she can't understand this!

But this confusion was short as Marcus started moving his waist and his rod started moving inside of her. Quickly enough her body adapted to the pain and she started to feel pleasure flowing through her body.

"Ohhh~~~"

"Hhmmmn~~~"

"Mmnhh~~~"

She started moaning to his thrust, very quickly she started to get into this and started to experiment. First with moving her hips…

Creating smacking sounds that spread through the room. Quinella instantly realised that this was good. And started moving more…

"Yes~~~ mhhh~~~ this is amazing Master~~~" The beauty said with glassy eyes as sweat was rolling from her forehead. Her hands went to his chest and she started stroking him. 

The teen just smiled at her and continued to pump with even more fervour and the beauty just answered back with as much movement from her part. Only the issue with her was that she was not used to this kind of pleasure…

Very quickly it piled up in her gut before exploding, Quinella felt like fireworks exploded in her very being.

Spreading through their whole body, she felt a tidal wave washing her over and pulling the very ground underneath her. Her mouth opened wide and a scream, something similar to banshee's, escaped from her lips.

She came hard and her pussy creamed all over her Master's cock. Using this moment Marcus released his load into her which made the beauty go over the edge...

That moment... she lost control of her psionic powers…

~~~(End of Smut)~~~

And a pink blast of energy spreaded everywhere…

"Ok… too much fucking is not advised so early in the game…" Marcus said to himself as he saw that Quinella had just passed out. He concluded that she was not used to such high feelings just yet...

Then the teen suddenly felt like someone just ringed his ear at max volume…

He quickly used his hand to cover his ear…

'Did Quinella just use some sort of mind blast?' 

"Aurora what just happened? Did you pick up anything?" Marcus asked after getting over the ringing in his head.

[The preliminary scan indicates that it is a burst of psionic, magic and touki. The same mix as yours. As Quinella has the same access to energy as you. 

The burst of this energy has spread throughout the whole of The Base, according to the sensors, everyone except you are knocked out.] 

"..."

"Talk about a fucking...knocking out everyone…"

The teen was flabbergasted hearing that. Damn, the potency of this energy is something else! It even knocked out Artemis!

Marcus quickly got out of the bed and walked over to the shower and saw Latia laying on the floor. She was already finished with her shower and was about to come out from the bathroom.

With a sigh, he picked her up in princess carry and took her to the bedroom where he laid her down on it. With a simple use of his energy, he dried her up before tucking her under the blanket.

He then looked at Quinella who was slowly getting over her biggest orgasm yet…

"T-That was…"

"Amazing to the point that you knocked out everyone…" Marcus finished for her with a raised eyebrow.

The beauty looked at him, and he looked at her. For a few moments, they just stared at each other.

"...What?"

"As I said, you lost control over your energy and knocked out everyone. Honestly, I have no idea how much this affected everyone's minds. No one before studied psionic energy. We are the first beings who even use it. Meaning we are the pioneers of such energy. If my guess is right." 

Quinella processed what she just heard. She had a shell-shocked look, which morphed into disbelief, followed by embarrassment before settling into panic.

She quickly got out of the bed. With a burst of pink energy, she cleaned herself up. Before walking quickly to dress up. She realised that her panties were no good so she walked over to the wardrobe. Because of her psionic power interface, she doesn't need to touch or select anything on it. She does all that mentally.

Moments later, she picked up her new panties and started rapidly dressing up.

"I am going to check on them! I will be back quickly!" She said before leaving the room.

Marcus just sighed after she left. Well, he created her himself so now he will have to live with all the craziness she will be doing…

After thinking about that, he summoned his Ring of Focus and focused on Latia's head. Several white and gold circles appeared around her. He did some simple scans.

Thankfully nothing has happened. The brain activity was normal…

*Sigh*

"With the amount of biology I studied, I could be a doctor…" He said to himself after realising that he just did a full brain scan with magic like it was normal.

'Meh… too much of a drag…now that I think about it, I remember one of my previous life schoolmates ended up as a vet…' 

The amount of BS one has to go through to become classified as a doctor of any type is insane…

Nope, he is going to stick with his stuff even if checking out females would be...fascinating… to say the least…

Nonetheless, he decided to call it a day, tomorrow is Monday…

'Right… the shops are opening soon. Meaning my 'mundane' side is going to be affected quite a bit…' He thought with a sigh. His eyes went to the bed. He realised that he needed to change the blanket. Now that the steamy session was over, it started to smell…

~~~~~~Entertainment Dome~~~~~~

A T-Rex was confused as hell, one moment these feral mammals were attacking him with their thingies, and the next moment, they all just collapsed onto the ground!

The massive bus size creature looked around. Trying to find whatever attack knocked out these feral mammals.

Weirdly enough, there was nothing there. He once again made a confused face before leaning forward using his nose, he poked one, then another…

They were not responding. He shrugged for a bit before turning around and walking away.

Honestly, he could just eat them but they are just bones with barely any flesh on them. He probably would not even feel that he ate something…

Moments later, after the massive bus size dinosaur walked away, the simulation has ended and Quinella, with a sweaty forehead, entered the large room.

"...they are truly down! Damn! Why is this stuff happening to me on my first day!" She quickly walked over and put her hand on Le Fay. She quickly scanned the human girl. There was some panic in the silver-haired girl's eyes.

She was worried that her accidental burst of energy somehow damaged her creator's stress relievers. This was no joking manner. Especially on her first day like this! This is a bad reputation for her!

Her concern is that regular humans could be the most affected because of their naturally weak bodies. However, she found nothing wrong with the blond witch. At least from basic scans.

Quinella quickly moved towards the blond fake saint. A quick scan showed the same results. She sighed in relief and walked over and scanned the lion girl, followed by the redhead and finally the maid Goddess herself.

Once she did that, she made them all float with her psionic power. She started carrying them back to their rooms.

~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~

Marcus was humming with satisfaction as he was looking at his drawing. 

He used the whole page of his notebook to draw how his tuned BMW was going to look. He drew the fixed stock car look on his computer but not the tuned-up version.

For a moment, he was thinking to make it look like it did in his previous life. But, he changed his mind when he heard some schoolmates talking about a classic game. A legend in his eyes. The original Most Wanted from 2005. The tuned-up look from that BMW instantly stuck with him.

So he quickly drew his BMW to look like that. Without even realising that he spent an entire afternoon tinkering with it…

When the long break started, he took his stuff and went outside to eat. Honestly, he was enjoying the last remaining days of sunshine before the ugly October and November were going to kick in…

Before long, he pulled out his sandwich and pulled out a much bigger drawing notebook and started drawing something else not related to cars…

He was drawing a ship now…

As he was getting into his drawing he felt a presence next to him. 

"You got time to attend school? I thought a meeting about me was going to take days because of how 'big' the event was…" Marcus asked sarcastically as he stopped and thought for a moment, he was thinking about the underwater capacities. Honestly, his go-to things like P.O.D and Electro blasts don't work that well underwater.

'Hmm...magnetism? I could implode other ships since they are made from metal. And for animals sound or vibration?'

'Honestly, I want to see those squids which earned them a spot as Kraken in the myths… or do Krakens exist? I should ask the Norse pantheon about them.' For a second he got quite thoughtful on this.

"Nope! It ended after 8 hours!" She said that quite happily as she hugged his hand.

"8 hours? The raid was less than 6…including the troops' deployment to the ground and the flying back and forth!" Marcus stopped drawing for a bit before looking at her.

His brown eyes looked at Sera's blue. He was in quite the disbelief.

*Sigh*

"I know, I know! There is nothing I could do! They were nagging! And bitching! And moaning!" Serafall said with a big eye roll. For a second she remembered an absurd theory about how Marcus was going to turn them into batteries and stuff…

Pity she can't say stuff about the perpetual energy he has…

"Well. Perks of being one of the leaders… you have to listen to their complaints…" The teen said with a not-so-caring shrug.

"I didn't… Whatever! Let's forget about this boring stuff and just snuggle!" As she abruptly changed the theme of conversation she moved to change their positions.

Moments later, Serafall was sitting on his lap enjoying his warm body. A very satisfying sigh escaped from her lips. She could just melt away without any care.

Normally she would just do that but she changed her position somewhat and started helping Marcus eat his sandwiches while he was drawing something…

Honestly, it amazed the black-haired beauty how he doesn't even use the eraser even once! It's like the lines he drew were perfect. Like there were no basic faults like that! Not only that, she can see that what he was drawing looks like another Airship...or it's a spaceship?

Still, for someone to do that… it's absurd… The amount of ability…

"Is that another airship?" She asked curiously as she looked at the drawing for a bit. Just watching how with each brush it looks even more like a vessel of some sort.

"It's a submarine…" Marcus said very simply.

"A submarine… we...will be diving?" She asked with quite a curious tone.

"Indeed… meet… The Scavenger… the Attila-class submarine…" He said with a happy tone.

"Is there a reason why you are going with 'Attila'?" She asked him, this was quite a very specific name.

It was the same with Daedalus… as in the past, this guy flew with a man-made glider… from Knossos to mainland Greece…

People warped it a little bit and made it so that he flew with wings… more impressive… but, still, her point is that Marcus had a meaning for his Confiscator. And now what about this submarine?

"That should be obvious. We will be pillaging shipwrecks collecting downed ships. Who is not better than to name it after Attila the Hun? The Scourge of Gods, the most infamous pillager of them all? The one guy who brought the West Roman Empire to its knees?" Marcus said as he remembered all about the infamous nomad.

"Right… I guess I skipped him when I was studying human history." Serafall said while sweat dripping. She knows very little about some barbarians nomads who managed to pillage through Europe…

Not her cup of tea. She prefers something more tame and modern…

"I see… then we should watch some documentary about them. Quite a fascinating bunch. They are the ones who invented those bows and used the early horseman tactics…" Marcus said while trying to recall why the Huns were so dangerous. He could remember why the Mongols were, but not so much about the Huns since they existed several hundred years before the Mongols. 

"Umm...no? I would most likely fall asleep midway. So, I would rather not watch it. However, I can see that such a name fits it very well." Serafall quickly started using her diplomatic persona. 

"Hmm… yeah, I suppose so. I will most likely switch and watch some stuff on the battleships… I still need to watch where the Bismarck sank properly. They said somewhere in the Atlantic. While my original guess was that it was somewhere in the Northern sea…"

The black-haired beauty sighed in relief. Thankfully she dodged that bullet. Watching battleships Is much more interesting than some barbarians who ran around over a thousand years ago.
