King of succubus



The original planets. These are known for having the opportunity to cultivate the talents of a mage at the highest level.

In appearance and nature, these planets in no way resemble the others; hence their nicknames of zero-ranking planets.

In one of my rare conversations with Lord Alvine, he told me these words:

[It's true that Fy is the spiritual manifestation of the planet where we are currently. But the latter does not even have a third of the planet's power. If she or her fellows could assimilate all authority on Tier Zero planets, their powers would compete or even surpass any beings in the infinite universe.]

In this world, inequality is not limited only to social status. No, this factor represents only a fragment of this imbalance.

There are higher beings, who can never be equaled by us, the lower beings.

Even among these superior beings, it's also subdivided into three categories; beings before, during, and after the gods’ era.

These beings, having lived this era, are not special, but were lucky to be born rather than us. A chance well wrapped in an evil gift since it was a billion times more difficult to survive this era than the one we currently have.

As I said, they are not special. They are powerful because they have access to a form of energy that is purer and more concentrated than ours.

If I define a practitioner in a single sentence, I would say that they are imperfect beings who cultivate the energy of the earth and the heavens to achieve perfection.

This process requires us to get rid of the impurities in our blood, flesh, bones, and soul to hope to reach this perfection.

Those who were born during the era of the gods were no exception.

But as they got rid of their corruptions, these impurities didn't disappear but constantly merged in the aura and further corrupted the mana.

It's easy to get rid of dirt on and in the body, but what about the one that affects the soul from its creation?

Even if I am not as well-versed in this field, I think the answer is obvious.

Thus, the difference between them and us is the age of their souls. Seen from this angle, I guess you can't understand much, little girl.

But this tiny, yet insane difference classifies these beings of a higher level among themselves.

By taking the example of Lord Alvine, you will understand better.

From the beginning, he was considered an aberration that exceeded all the laws known and unknown to us.

His ability to absorb any form of energy as if they were only drinks of different flavors, his ability to understand and learn all types of spells, Laws, concepts, arcane, etc.; everything is related to this factor.

In appearance, he seemed to have lost everything after being reincarnated. But his soul remained intact.

Apart from his memories, he had lost nothing.

Souls are like books, and memories are the writings in these books.

A book may be blank, but if its pages and cover are more resistant and thicker than the others, it will become an item that will resist more than its pairs in the face of the absolute master of corruption that is time.

Time will impregnate everything with its wild and direct influence but in sometimes frantic or slow momentum; everything will depend on the object in query.

In comparison, our souls will only be small booklets that can barely be readable by ants cause of their small size.

However, we cannot perceive this summit without the help of one of these monsters.

As I said, it's unfair; but in a situation where no one can be accused of it, it's only laughable if we dwell on it.

Finally, I cannot respond favorably to your request, the only daughter of Galiel Gleph'nir, Assiahir Gleph'nir; even if I... wanted to."

After listening to Reha's speech, Assi remains silent for a long time without being able to say anything.

After this long silence, a stealthy sigh escapes between her lips before she slowly looks up at Reha.

The latter was sitting in front of her on the dining table and still dressed in her white kitchen apron.

The others, including Sabrina and Stella, were on the sofas at the other end of the living room; were silent but attentive to the classes of their queen.

"I don't understand; according to you, I have to ask for his help for...-

"No, it's choice belongs only to you. What I advise you is to take your pain in patience. Little Rina is different from you; I am not only talking about her soul but about her willingness to serve her master. I don't need to read your thoughts to know that they are above or below. It's up to you to decide what you want to do.

-For my part, know that no matter your choice, I will respect it without prejudice. You are my daughter, but not my possession, it is a fact that I learned at the expense of my many experiences."

Assi frowns when she hears such words from the most unsuspected person.

"I didn't expect such advice from you; you, who wanted to burn everyone to regain your dating power."

"...I admit, I am the surprise of both of us. But I think I have matured a lot since I merged with the other part of my soul which was sealed in Lord Alvine's castle.

- On the other hand, I find it easier to rest on others. My only regret is to learn that he has no one to rest in." She said while crossing up her fingers on the dining table.

Assi's frown is accentuated when she sees Reha's bitter smile.

"Could it be that you fall in...-

"You couldn't get yourself misperceived more than that; daughter of Galiel Gleph'nir." Reha takes a nonchalant look at Assi while cutting off her.

"I have lived long enough to describe my feelings towards this man. Admiration is what I feel about him. Few will succeed in bearing such a responsibility. Flight, abandonment, or submission are commonplace in such a situation.

-I had acted this way when I faced a threat beyond my abilities and powers. Instead of staying and assuming my responsibilities, I had chosen the easy path of submission.

-Because of my comfort, I created flames of war and hatred between my children; your father was one of these victims. This guilt is heavier than in the face of the fear of death.

-I am well aware of the hatred I have created among my children, and contrary to what most people think, I am not so naive to think that it can disappear overnight. In other words, as long as I have not erased my sins, I cannot afford to live according to my desires.

-Understand one thing Little Assi, the luck you have today won’t last forever. And even if my words seem contradictory, you must take care of it so that you will not regret it shortly."

These were her last words before she got up and moved away from Assi to continue cooking.

Assi looks at her back with confused eyes. 'It's crazy how she can be...strange. By dint of listening to her, I realized she was not careless that what she showed.' She couldn't help but think seriously about Reha's strangest personality.

'At first, I thought she and the others didn't care about the end of this war, but they are more keen than me. And...-

"One last thing, Little Assi. If I were in your place, I wouldn't worry too much about knowing how to become strong. According to the latest information I got from Miss Heepha, Lord Alvine is busy refining the energy of the five dummy planets that his sister had left behind. And knowing Lord Alvine, he is not the kind to deny the will of his subjects. Those, who want to attend this war will attend."

"... How can you be so sure?"

"I can't explain it; but from what I know, he will only do it when he has the guarantee of having the ability to protect everyone. That's all I know about him." She said, closing the kitchen door behind her; leaving Assi in a state of total haze.

'Finally, my coming to this place would only have served me to ask more questions.' She mutters in her mind while smiling ironically.

**At least, this allowed you to ask yourself good questions.**

Sabrina's voice then resounds in her mind.

Without the slightest ounce of surprise or dissatisfaction, Assi smiled at Sabrina, who was sitting with the others.

--

"Shit! I lost again! How do you do it!? However, I was the one who taught you how to play this game!!" Fy shrieked in frustration when she saw Askald dethrone her king.

The two played a game similar to checkmate, but the electrifying tension between the two gave the others the impression of participating in a real war between their two monarchs.

Askald pats his chin while smiling. "This game is very instructive, In addition to allowing us to establish incredible strategies, it is too pragmatic. I would never have thought that I could have so much trouble defeating such an 'inexperienced' opponent."

"Are you trying to humiliate me or make me angry!?"

"Neither, Miss Fy; know that even Lord Alvine is unable to put so many obstacles in my way when it comes to a strategic battle."

"...I see, no wonder your father is always desperate to want to get you back. With the power of your sister, and you, who are strategists on the edge of the impossible, I would act the same if I were in his place."

"My father is not as you...think."

"Hmm~? What do you mean by that, Sir Askald?" Fy frowns, guessing that there was more than Askald meant.

The latter remains momentarily silent as if he were organizing his thoughts.

"In a single sentence, what interests him is not really to have us by his side; but to assimilate us to increase his power." He says in a calm tone without emotions.

"...huh?" Fy was not sure she understood, according to the calm with which Askald pronounced these words.

"We are not the first and we would surely not be the last if Lord Alvine had not taken us in. By comparing his practice methods, this guy is surely the worst of the bastards.

-To reach his current level, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice his children by owning their bodies. Did you know that he was originally a woman and that our mother was one of her children?"

"Huh!?"

"...You yet have understood, he's what we called a bug. His current power must surely compete with that of Lord Alvine when he was at the top. And...-

"W-wait, Askald. I understand that you hate your father, but is it necessary to say such infamies about him!?"

"Tss~; do you think I like to say these bollocks about my origin? But it is to warn you to protect our lord in my place if I lose my composure when I see this fucker. He is probably one of the most dangerous and twisted among our enemies. I didn't understand why he obeyed these people, but his goal must surely be to have a descendant with one of the beings to...-

-BOOOM!!

Before he finished his sentence, an explosion of magical energy made the whole planet tremble from the throne room.

Seeing this, Askald forgot the discussion he was having with Fy.

"That's it, I think the master has completed the purification process."

"... Is the master aware of that?" Fy persisted in the debate.

"Huh? I don't know, but he must surely have an idea about it. In addition, he kept annoying him at the slightest opportunity. I think he is aware of his strange hobbies. This old woman is ready to do anything to reach the pinnacle of power. And if she achieves her goal, then it will be over for us and everyone."

"But I don't understand, no, I don't understand anything anymore. If he was a woman, how did she become a man and your father above all!? She's still not bisexual!?"

"..." Askald remains silent once again.

"Don't you understand? However, I have just told you that he moves his soul in the body of others to acquire new arcanes. My mother was one of the daughters he had when he was a woman. The current body he has is none other than the body of my mother's younger brother.

-This bastard possessed the body of her own son after having annihilated his soul, and used it to have us with his daughter! I have to explain myself more so that you understand it, or do I have to show you the memories of horrors I had acquired from my mother before she was killed by this bastard!?"

"...No, everything but that."
