Champion Of Lust: Gods Conquer's Harem Paradise!

Pyris stood still for a moment, watching Mira as she left, her figure disappearing into the thick shadows of the night, melding seamlessly into the darkness.

Inwardly, Pyris had no true intention of proving anything to the Phantoms or their top leader. His powers, already surpassing most, would demonstrate his superiority without any real effort.

No, his real interest lay in Mira herself. She intrigued him. He had agreed to her proposal only to keep her closer.

As he watched her vanish, a thought suddenly struck him like a sharp dagger.

'Wait! Alera also has the same ability as me—Live Shadows—but Mira didn't so much as glance in her direction or acknowledge it. Why?' Pyris pondered, his brows furrowing slightly.

["I guess the two abilities are different,"] Lia's voice chimed softly in his head, offering a possible explanation. ["You had the shadow element before, and the Live Shadows ability seems to have only enhanced that power. But maybe, in your case, it awakened something far more dangerous, making your shadow element stronger and more mysterious. That might be what caught Mira's attention."]

'That could be it,' Pyris mused. 'Alera's shadows granted her access to the Void and enhanced her Necromancer powers. Our abilities may be connected by the same name, but they're clearly manifesting differently.'

["Exactly. I think the Live Shadows ability takes on different forms depending on the wielder and their deepest desires,"] Lia suggested.

Pyris smirked at the thought. Desires.

His own were deeply tied to power, ambition, and control—over people, over empires, and ultimately, over the world itself.

It was no surprise that his Live Shadows would reflect that. They were designed to serve him as both tools and weapons, to act autonomously when needed but always with his control at the forefront.

His shadows were like an extension of his ambition.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'And Alera's desires...' Pyris's thoughts turned toward her. 'She craves power too, but her desire leans toward something darker. She is drawn to the Necromancer arts and the Void. Perhaps she seeks mastery over life and death itself. It would explain why her shadows connect so deeply to the Void and the undead.'

["It's fascinating to see how the same ability manifests so differently,"] Lia continued. ["Your shadows are designed to control and dominate, while hers lean toward something more... ethereal, something darker. She wields the dead, while you command the living essence of shadows."]

Pyris smiled to himself. Live Shadows, after all, seemed to reflect the true nature of its wielder.

His shadows were crafted for dominance—crafted to conquer, to be ever-present in the shadows of empires and kingdoms, always watching, always waiting for the moment to strike.

He had no doubt that the true potential of his shadows was still hidden from him, waiting to be fully uncovered in time.

His desires... they were insatiable. His ambition was without bounds. Pyris was not content with ruling from the shadows; he intended to control everything—people, realms, and even the fates of those around him.

It seemed Live Shadows had chosen the right master.

Mira had left, content with the arrangement. Pyris, however, had no intention of keeping his promises the way she thought.

He knew the Phantoms could be useful, but ultimately, his shadows would outgrow theirs. His ambitions would outgrow hers. For now, though, it was time to rest.

Pyris made his way to his room, but not before glancing at Alera, who was peacefully sleeping after their intense night together. He smirked as he recalled the powers she had shared with him.

Gently, he tucked her in, brushing a hand across her soft skin.

His notifications were waiting for him, and with a flick of his wrist, he summoned his Status, his mind already eager to see what new abilities had been granted to him from his women.

[New Abilities

Live Shadows (Alera's Gift):

Type: Shadow Manipulation

Effect: Enhanced control over shadows. Shadows now have the ability to act as living entities, independent of host's direct will. They can infiltrate, assassinate, and serve as a perfect network of spies. The shadows are more lethal, capable of binding and absorbing magical attacks.

They grow stronger in the dark and are capable of manipulating environments in subtle ways.

Illusions (Madeline's Gift):

Type: Illusionary Magic

Effect: An advanced form of illusion magic, directly tied to host's Lust Dragon bloodline. Host can create deeply immersive illusions that can affect all senses, manipulating reality as his target perceives it.

This ability creates illusions that are hard to differentiate from reality, especially when fueled by desire or lust. It can be used for manipulation, combat, or seduction.

Pyris smirked as he read through the descriptions.

Live Shadows was turning out to be far more dangerous than he had initially thought. It wasn't just about controlling shadows—it was about harnessing an unstoppable force that could move in the dark, unseen, and untouchable.

His Lust Illusions were no less impressive; they were another tool, a more subtle one, but no less powerful. In time, he would master both.

["Happy with what you see?"] Lia teased.

"Very," Pyris whispered back. His gaze turned back to the night sky, his mind already plotting for the day ahead. There was still so much to do. So much to conquer.

The next day promised to be full of new opportunities.

The morning light had barely begun to stretch over the mansion when Pyris heard a familiar presence in the halls. Mira had returned.

This time, she waited for him in the living room, her arms crossed, her face calm but filled with the same intensity she always carried.

"I trust you've had time to think over our arrangement," she said as Pyris entered, her golden eyes watching him carefully.

Pyris smiled, keeping his thoughts to himself. "Of course, Mira. I've had plenty of time to reflect."

Mira nodded, though there was a gleam in her eyes. "Good. Because from today, I'll be watching you more closely than ever."

With that, Mira vanished into the shadows, her presence lingering even as Pyris moved toward his next goal. The day was just beginning, and Pyris knew that whatever awaited him, he was more than ready to face it head-on.

Mira, unlike what she showed has her own agendas too!
