The Sinful Life of The Emperor

Kiba, Penelope, and Tempest fell through the tunnel, their descent engulfed in an eerie darkness. The walls were cold and metallic, their smooth surfaces reflecting the faintest glimmers of light from above. The temperature dropped rapidly, and the women shivered, their breaths visible in the frosty air. The oppressive chill seeped into their bones, making them tremble uncontrollably.

Kiba, sensing their discomfort, released his power. A golden force field, shaped like a bubble, enveloped them. The warmth it provided was immediate, banishing the cold and illuminating their surroundings. The bubble surged forward, chasing the energy traces left by the water spirit.

"Just how deep is this tunnel?!" Penelope couldn't help but exclaim after what felt like an eternity. She looked around, the golden radiance allowing her to see the metallic walls that seemed to stretch on endlessly. Despite her enhanced abilities, even spreading her perception was useless in this place.

Tempest glanced at Kiba, her eyes questioning. He was the strongest among them, and with the abilities he had displayed, perhaps only he could answer.

"Apologies, my ladies," Kiba bowed respectfully, "but I'm in the same boat as you. My perception is blocked by the metal."

While apologizing, his eyes couldn't help but stray to their figures.

The vines and leaves clung to their bodies, accentuating their curves.

His mind wandered back to their earlier fucking, and his spent cock sprang back to life. He had dressed himself when he jumped into the chasm, so the women didn't notice.

Maybe if not for the dramatic turn of events, their attention would never have moved from his cock…or the weapon as they called it.

Kiba sighed deeply, a mixture of longing and frustration in his breath.

He had loved their bodies, their tight cunts, perky titties, and smooth skin.

Every touch, every caress had been a symphony of pleasure.

Penelope and Tempest misunderstood his sigh, thinking it was out of frustration about their current predicament.

"It's alright if you can't sense outside," Penelope said hurriedly.

"You don't have to be frustrated on our behalf," Tempest added. "You have already done so much for us!"

Kiba couldn't help but smile.

If Claudia had been here, she would have rolled her eyes at the women's reassurances and her master's act.

She might even complain that he was stealing thunder from his Zed persona.

After all, being kind, respectful, and sagely were traits of Zed, not Kiba!

Of course, Kiba couldn't use his alter ego here like he had during his visit to Desolate Blood Forest… when he met Sophia and trolled her with his Kiba persona!

When he thought of Sophia, his face broke into a genuine smile.

"The little pervert must be praising her mom now!" he thought with amusement.

He shook his head and looked downwards, feeling the distance between them and the water spirit reducing.

"When I first met Ice Queen in Infinity Maze and we noticed each other's presence, her shard of Cosmic Spark and the Cosmic Spark in me resonated."

He recalled their intense battle and then his thought moved to Martha.

That dumb cow had crashed the party the mayor of the City of Arcadia had hosted in his honor.

There were so many potential Good Husbands at the party with their wives.

There were even potential Good Sons and Good Brothers!

He was going to enjoy the party or so he thought.

Alas, that dumb cow had killed the men, ruining the prospects of many women from becoming Good Wives, Good Mothers, and Good Sisters.

It was the biggest tragedy of his life!

"That dumb cow had what she called Realm Treasure. It seemed familiar, but I couldn't pinpoint why it felt familiar…"

He remembered trying to pull it out of Martha's chest, but the realm treasure slipped from his hand and eluded him no matter how hard he tried.

Ice Queen hadn't stopped him from his attempts to steal it; all because he lacked affinity with that treasure.

He lacked affinity because he was a man!

The treasure was almost like a pervert, only wanting to stay between soft breasts!!

As he thought of his lack of affinity with that treasure, Kiba's thoughts wandered to Eden.

It was restricted to men.

Well, at least it was before he gained a ticket to here!

"Ice Queen awakened the Legacy Masters in the mausoleum in Infinity Maze before their destined time. Sooner or later, they will wreak havoc on the planet and unleash a bloodbath."

The Legacy Masters were deceased beings from the Celestial Elysian Plane. After their deaths and the destruction of their home world, their bodies were preserved by Lord Xeced and sent to Earth with the World Fragments.

The mutation and evolution that followed, thanks to the World Fragments, were part of Lord Xeced's plan.

He wanted the Earth's environment to become suitable for beings of his destroyed world. Humans and other species on Earth were unforeseen beneficiaries.

No, in fact, they weren't unforeseen beneficiaries but planned ones!

After all, the Legacy Masters' bodies were in zombie-like states.

The effects of death and degradation couldn't be nullified, not even by a genius like Lord Xeced, who was the universe's greatest mind.

That was why many of the World Fragments were linked with the hidden dimension called the Hall of Legacies overseen by Enchantia.

The Hall of Legacies had Legacy Orbs – orbs made of the life energy of the deceased Legacy Masters – containing their techniques and knowledge.

Humans lusted after these orbs as they allowed rapid evolution.

Even a Gamma-rank mutant could hope to reach Beta, and Beta mutants had chances of reaching the legendary Alpha-rank! Alphas sought the Legacy Orbs to break the chains of life and death and evolve further, gaining eternal life!

But how could the world have free lunches!?

Why would such techniques and knowledge be available for free?!

Because it was a legacy, a way to ensure the knowledge wasn't destroyed and passed to future generations?!

What bullshit!

No lifeform was capable of such selfless behaviour.

The reason the Legacy Orbs existed was what every lifeform wanted: a chance to revive!

By imparting the knowledge and techniques of the deceased Legacy Masters, the Legacy Orbs would slowly condition the minds of humans to think and act like the deceased Legacy Masters.

When the time was ripe, the Legacy Masters could fuse their bodies with these humans and revive!

It was a perfect, or near-perfect, method of revival invented by Lord Xeced.

The efforts, resources, and time required to create such a method and plan must have been enormous.

And since Lord Xeced managed it while his home world was being destroyed by the plot of The Fate to end Eternal Darkness, it was a testament to how great Lord Xeced was.

"But the plan was affected by Ice Queen," Kiba thought. "She awakened the Legacy Masters before the right time… now they are unstable. This means they are just blood-crazy monsters acting on instincts!"

As a new member of the World Council, he had access to intelligence unknown to most.

The Legacy Masters, after leaving Infinity Maze, had destroyed multiple cities.

But thanks to the efforts of Alphas and the world government, and perhaps some mechanism left by Lord Xeced, the Legacy Masters had retreated.

"Whatever her reasons, one thing is for sure. She wants to see the world on fire! There is no way Eden can escape the fire of destruction she has unleashed…"

That would mean she didn't care about Eden either!!!

So then, why did she create Eden as a land of women and act as their protector?!

"This just doesn't make sense…"

Kiba was confused by Ice Queen's actions.

Everything was so contrary.

It was like ice and fire coexisting as one.

Kiba's thoughts stopped as he saw the water spirit ahead.

She was running in the form of mist, her ethereal body shifting like a ghost. The misty tendrils moved gracefully, almost dancing as they slipped through the metallic tunnel.

The water spirit sensed the approaching presence behind her and turned around, her ethereal form shimmering with unease.

Her eyes widened when she saw Kiba smiling at her with kindness.

Deep within her core, an instinct screamed that he was anything but kind. Like a cat with its tail stepped on, she surged forward with renewed speed, her form becoming a blur of mist.

Kiba's smile deepened, and the golden bubble surrounding him, Tempest, and Penelope accelerated, transforming into a blazing meteorite streaking through the dark tunnel. The smooth walls began to hum with a faint vibration, as if a hidden sensor had been triggered by their presence.

"What's that sound?" Tempest asked, her eyes darting around nervously.

"Be ready for anything," Kiba warned, his gaze fixed ahead.

Suddenly, laser grids shot out from the tunnel walls, slicing through the air with deadly precision.

The vibrations grew stronger, and the hum turned into a deafening buzz. It was a trap, either triggered by the water spirit's passage or their own intrusion.

The water spirit reacted instinctively.

Her form dissolved into mist, becoming a ghostly apparition. She flowed effortlessly through the gaps between the lasers, her movements fluid and graceful, evading the deadly beams with ease.

She reformed on the other side.

POP!

The lasers converged on the golden force field, and with a loud pop, it shattered like a fragile bubble.

Kiba, Tempest, and Penelope fell, but with agile summersaults, they landed on the tunnel surface.

They barely had a moment to catch their breath before more laser beams shot towards them.

"Incoming!" Penelope shouted, her eyes wide with alarm.

Kiba lifted his hand, his eyes narrowing as he focused his cosmic power. Bursts of shimmering energy exploded from his palm…
