Bab 553: Birth of the Banshees

"So THATS what it was all about?" Alex exclaimed.

"Uh huh..." Hestia replied noncommittally as she snuggled into Alex's chest, her arms wrapping around his stomach possessively along with her legs as she sat on Alex's lap.

Currently he was lounging in one of the baths after the prolonged and intense fuck-fest, which had been accompanied by the extreme spam of pornographic material. Still impaled on his dick was Hestia as she snuggled with him, while Loki lounged beside him and Freya massaged his shoulders.

Hestia had just explained to Alex what all of the pictures and videos he had received were from, which surprised him since he was not notified of this quest like he had been the last one. But then again, according to Hestia the goal of the quest was to impress him.

She also said there had been a penalty for not sending one, which made sense considering that he had also received images from even Winter, Pyrrha, Tatsumaki, Suki, and Ryuu.

"Humph! Why did I not get this 'quest'?" Freya demanded with a huff.

"Well, you aren't a part of the Chatroom. So it only makes sense." Alex replied, though his words were quickly followed by an invitation Freya received to join the Chatroom.

"Oh? Do I also get to join this 'chatroom' of yours?" Loki asked with a mischievous smirk.

"No!" Hestia immediately pouted as she tightened her hold on Alex possessively.

"Why not? Aren't we rod sisters now shrimpy?"

"Ne!" Hestia exclaimed while sticking her tongue out at Loki in a bratty manner.

"Now now Hestia, that's no way to behave." Alex said, even as he used one of his hands to massage her head. The result was the goddess melting even more in his lap until she might as well been a puddle.

With Hestia pacified, Alex turned back to Loki as he explained, "if you want to join the Chatroom, its restricted purely for my wives and future wives."

"Oh? Well it's ok then~!" Loki declared casually, before Alex sent her a request as well.

Neither she nor Freya had a problem declaring themselves to Alex at this point. Freya was obvious since she considered Alex to be her Odr, her fated one. Loki simply because, while he was extremely annoying in certain regards, she knew that if she became one of his wives there'd be no shortage of entertainment and interesting things.

Plus the way he fucked would put even gods to shame.

But, speaking of interesting things...

"Also, I have something for the three of you." Alex suddenly said, as he produced three wooden boxes. One for each of them.

"What are these?" Loki asked as she opened hers, only to find a set of strange game-like pieces in it.

"They're something that originated in the world I'm from. The original versions are called Evil Pieces, and they're used by Devil Nobility to reincarnate powerful mortals and such into their Devil servants. I've also got my own set that I've used.

"These are the ones we've adapted for Asora, which are provided to those who have reached certain qualifications. They're used to form peerages that act as specialized squadrons to fight as our armies, but they more often battle one another in great arenas. They're called the Rating Games, and are great for both entertainment and refining their skills for when there's an actual battle."

"Oh? And why are we getting a set?" Loki asked him curiously, even as she took a few of the pieces out and examined them.

"You can use them on your Familias to strengthen them further with each piece's special trait. The King piece would be for the three of you, as the 'ruler' of your Familias, but there's no special traits given by the King piece aside from being the one who commands the others.

"The two Rook pieces grants those who receive it increased strength and defense, the two Knights increase speed and mobility, and the two Bishops increase the users magical power. The Queen meanwhile is a balance between all three, which in turn usually makes them the most powerful. And finally there's eight Pawn pieces, which don't have any immediate special benefits, but once in a place designated 'enemy territory', like the Dungeon, or with the King's express permission, they can promote themselves into either a Knight, Rook, Bishop, or even a Queen."

Even as Alex explained the uses of the different Evil Pieces, Loki was already making plans on who she'd give each piece to while Hestia was still relaxing against him comfortably.

Freya meanwhile was also making plans, though different from Loki's.

She already decided that she needed to restructure her entire Familia. Rather than deciding who would get her Evil Pieces, her current thoughts were who would end up staying in her familia, and who was no longer needed.

"I can't wait to see how these things make my people stronger~! Ais-Tan especially!" Loki declared before a lecherous look appeared on her face as she recalled the earlier orgy, which Ais had also participated in.

"Oh, well I don't think it would work for Ais since she draws power directly from me." Alex said to Loki's idea.

"What!?! So not only is she NOT technically a member of my familia, but now I can't even use one of these pieces to make her stronger?!" Loki demanded angrily.

"She's still a member of your familia, she just doesn't have your Falna. And it's not as if I'm not letting you use the Evil Piece on her, but rather it wouldn't work on her anyways." Alex said in exasperation, before continuing,

"The Evil Pieces don't work on certain beings, and have numerous restrictions to prevent people from using them on someone more powerful than themselves. The more powerful the recipient, the more pieces it'll take for them to work. But if a person is too much stronger than the King, then they won't work regardless.

"Since the three of you are goddesses they should work on just about anyone else from your world, but Ais is now a Divine Spirit that draws her power directly from myself. In a sense, she's basically a VERY minor goddess, and I'm being very gracious with that label. But the fact is, she's too powerful now for you to use an Evil Piece on her. And even if you did, it wouldn't do her any good because of how strong she already is now."

For a moment Loki didn't say anything as she scrutinized Alex, seemingly probing him for any falsehoods in what he'd just told her.

Either because she couldn't find any, or because she simply realized Alex had no reason to lie to her, the trickster goddess simply sighed a moment later as she said, "You're the expert on this."

"Yep~!" Alex said with a smirk, not that he had been trying to trick her. Ais truly was strong enough now that the only piece that MIGHT work for her was the Queen piece, which wouldn't suit her at all.

The rest of their time was spent watching clips from Rating Games that Alex was projecting for the two goddesses, while Hestia entered dreamland. Unfortunately for her, she was forced to wake up when the time came for Alex to leave the bath to check up on some things and people.

His first stop was to check up on how Shia was adjusting to the Moa Moa no Mi. And the scene Alex happened to see was absolute carnage.

Shia was already akin to a walking nuke, but with the power of the Moa Moa no Mi, combined with her own godly strength and magic reserves, she became a full-on planet buster through sheer strength alone. Alex watched as she'd chuck already massive boulders straight up into the atmosphere, only for them to come back down a hundred times bigger.

One alone could already be considered a planet killer from the sheer size and speed it came back down to earth with. But Alex watched as she rained hundreds of planet killers down upon the poor Saiyanesses she decided to test her new power on. And it didn't help that she was able to take mere dust and turn it into deadly shrapnel capable of piercing even their skin.

She would even take fist-sized rocks from around her feet to turn them into house size missiles that would hit the poor Saiyanesses at accelerated speeds rivaling light. To say nothing of how much damage she could do with her hammer now.

Needless to say, Alex was looking forward to his next sparring match with Shia, and how much she'd be able to develop her new abilities in the future.

His next stop was Lala's lab, where he immediately had to dodge numerous mechanical components as they flew around the lab to assemble or reassemble themselves into whatever shape or device their master saw fit.

"Alex!" Lala exclaimed when she noticed his presence.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She cried out as she ran up and planted her lips against his own in a passionate kiss.

"This is the most amazing power ever!" She declared once she separated from him, before dragging Alex along to see what she'd been working on without giving him a chance to speak.

"Thanks to this power I can now work on several different projects I want, and I can create new inventions faster than ever! The only problem now is that I don't have enough parts for them all, but I'm already working on an invention to fix that. BUT LOOK!"

As she finished speaking, Lala held up what was obviously a wand with a pink heart at the top, like one would see magical girls or Mil-Tan waving around. Except, if his eyes and senses weren't deceiving him, that wand possessed enough magic power, weapons, Dresspheres, and mechanics to be one of the most dangerous weapons in Asora.

"Transform!" Lala cried out as the wand lit up, before her entire body was encased in light as one of the Dresspheres completely changed her outfit.

In an instant Lala was encased in robotic armor that resembled the Heart Hybrid gear worn by Alex, Aine, Yurisha and Hayuru, meaning that it appeared completely erotic even as it's design made sure everything was properly covered.

"Introducing, the Iron Lala MK 6!" Lala declared as she struck a pose for him.

"Very impressive." Alex said truthfully as she admired both the robotic armor and Lala's body.

"Hehe~! Thank you~!" Lala said bashfully from his praise, before launching into her explanation.

"Anyways, this armor is special because I built in numerous extra functions, like a mapping feature, scouter, weapons, and best of all, spatial pockets!"

As she declared that, numerous mechanical components suddenly appeared from said storage pockets, which automatically combined to assemble themselves into several different forms. First a pair of single handed blasters, then a pair of mechanical gauntlets, a plasma sword, several drones, and even a massive plasma rifle.

Alex was pretty sure that if she wanted to, Lala would've continued created weapons on the fly like that all day long. But thankfully she had the tact to stop after a few. The point was still there though, that she was now more versatile and dangerous of an opponent than ever.

Even if none of her weapons worked against any specific opponent, with her scouter she'd be able to analyze them in order to find a weakness, and create a weapon to take advantage of that weakness on the spot.

Combining all of that with her ability to promote as his Pawn, and her own outrageous natural capabilities, and Alex felt genuinely sorry for any opponent she'd face from now on.

"I'd like to see Frieza's face if you fought him again." Alex said while recalling her match against the former tyrant in the tournament.

"Humph! He's just a big meanie head that's no fun to play with!" She responded while huffing cutely.

Lala had gone up against Frieza in one of the later rounds of the tournament, and in turn forfeited when she realized he was genuinely trying to hurt her instead of having fun. Not that she'd needed to, Lala just decided that it wouldn't be fun to fight against him when she didn't have to.

Alex spent a bit more time with Lala to see more of the projects she was working on, until he received an urgent message over the Chatroom that he needed to respond to in person. Bidding farewell to her, Alex quickly transported himself to another plane as he entered Coldharbour.

"My lord." Curtsied a beautiful woman the second Alex appeared, a Daughter of Coldharbour.

"Did I miss anything?" He immediately asked her, even as he took off through the dark stone passages.

"No my lord." The woman answered.

"Good." Alex replied, before quickly arriving at his destination.

Opening the door to great bedchamber, Alex was greeted by the sight of numerous women either hurrying too and fro, or gathered around the main bed. Every one of the women were vampires of course, with the sole exception of two beautiful elves that sat the closest to the bed.

As for the one they were all gathered around, it was a woman with pale blue skin, and elvish features. What stood out the most about her though, was that her belly was bulging out to a scary degree.

"Ah.... You're here...." Sylvanas Windrunner gasped out when everyone noticed his presence.

"Of course." Alex replied as she swiftly approached her side. As for the other two elves, they were her sisters, Alleria and Vereesa Windrunner.

As for why they were present, it was because it was time for Sylvanas to give birth to the children Alex seeded her with. It was time for a new race to enter Asora. The Banshee.

Altogether, Sylvanas was in labor for over an entire day, and gave birth to thirteen baby girls in that time.

The reason she'd been pregnant with so many was because Alex used his divine power over Life when he'd fertilized her to create an entire new race. It was also why none of them possessed any of his physical or biological characteristics.

Instead, every one of the thirteen baby girls born had bluish skin of varying shades, and tufts of hair ranging between different shades of white, silver, and blue. And not a single one had a Saiyan tail.

That didn't mean they didn't have any of Alex's genetics though. Each one had his Saiyan, dragon, and demonic genes sealed within their bodies, and he'd be able to awaken them at any time if his newborn daughters wished so.

The truly hard part though, had been naming them.

The first one had been named Sylva, after Sylvanas. But after her was Lyra, Aria, Wailina, Zahara, Ravena, Octavia, Imelda, Elara, Thalia, Drusilla, Sariel, and then finally Xylia for the youngest.

Alex quickly found himself wishing he had several more hands with every baby born, until he utilized the same trick he'd use on his penis for his arms. Soon he looked like a large octopus monster as he held every one of the newborn girls in his arms. Though of course he'd made sure to pass them to Sylvanas and her sisters when they wanted to hold them.

For a moment all was peaceful and happy, until one of the newborn girls opened her mouth to start crying, as they had all been born silent.

Immediately every single piece of glass throughout the castle shattered, including the Windows, while every vampiress, Alleria, Vereesa, and Alex all had to cover their ears. Sylvanas of course was fine, being a banshee herself.

But as the other twelve newborns also began crying, they all swiftly had to make their exit until a countermeasure could be found. Though Alex figured Lala would have it figured out within the hour if he asked her...

...

Having had to flee the nursery of his thirteen newest daughters for the moment, Alex decided this was the time to inform his other children of the good news.

"We have more sisters!?" Edith exclaimed happily.

"Yep. They were all just born. But it may be a while before you all can meet them, since they're a little 'unique'." Alex said while projecting an image of all of them.

"Why are they blue?" Nocta asked without any tact.

"Nocta! You can't just ask why someone is blue!" Mai declared sternly.

"It's ok Mai. The reason they're all blue is because they're Banshees that look more like their mom." As he said that Alex also produced an image of Sylvanas, since she preferred staying in Coldharbour instead of interacting with everyone else.

"Also, they'll probably be more like Nocta, Freydis and Aife in that they'll grow faster than normal." Alex said as he thought on it some more.

Sylvanas was like Ais in that she was borderline divine as his warden of Coldharbour. The same could be said of Saya, Merida, Boethiah, Azura, Mephala, Nocturnal, and Namira, as they were all his divine spirits.

Though all of them but Saya and Sylvanas had been literal dark gods before, their divine power diminished greatly when Alex took their divinities and bound them to himself. Saya and Sylvanas meanwhile had been elevated when he bound them to the realms of Coldharbour and Apocrypha.

There was still enough divine power in his newborn daughters though that they would probably grow at an accelerated rate like the aforementioned trio. And while it also meant they could get their abilities under control faster, it also meant that Alex would have less time with them as children before they grew up. A very saddening fact for any father.

***

While Alex was spending time with his wives and children, someone else was familiarizing themselves with the villa within the space-time orb.

Literally everything around her was new and really interesting to Shirahoshi after spending most of her life locked in a tower for her own safety. She'd never even had friends or real interaction outside of her family and pet shark Megalo, since her father had placed a time limit of five minutes on any visitation she got for fear of another attack.

"Whatcha doing?" A voice asked her from behind suddenly as Shirahoshi was looking around.

"Ah!" She exclaimed in surprise and fright as she was startled, before tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Eh!? Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" Stated the one who had called out to her, a girl who appeared a few years younger than Shirahoshi with Emerald green hair, Myuu.

Accompanying Myuu, as per the usual, was Videl and Kale.

"Did she really start crying just from that?" Videl asked incredulously.

"I-I'm sorry..." Shirahoshi sniffled as she tried not to cry. She hadn't cried nearly so much lately like she had been before the Chatroom, but there was still the occasional time where she couldn't help it.

"So you're supposed to be an actual mermaid princess, huh?" Myuu asked her curiously, as she hadn't gotten a chance to properly meet with Shirahoshi earlier.

"Y-yes... Father-Sama is King Neptune of the Ryugu kingdom." Shirahoshi said hesitantly.

"Amazing~!" Myuu said with slight awe, even as she sized Shirahoshi up and down. Obviously, she already knew that Shirahoshi was supposed to become one of her papa's wives in the future, so she was also wary of her to an extent.

"Wow...a real princess!" Kale uttered with shining eyes as she admired Shirahoshi's status and looks.

"What's the big deal? Alex has several princesses around him already. Liliana, Altina, Francesca, Tracy, Hisui, Lala, Nana, Momo..." Videl said as she listed them all off.

"Papa has a preference~!" Myuu said with a smirk.

"Well all princesses tend to be really beautiful, so it makes sense." Videl added as she looked Shirahoshi up and down. "Some more so than others apparently."

"Oh! Thank you..." Shirahoshi said shyly from the compliment.

"She's beautiful alright, but is that it?" Myuu asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Shirahoshi asked.

"Can you actually do anything to help papa, or Asora?" Myuu asked her in a firmer tone.

"Eh? Um... I don't know..." Shirahoshi said awkwardly, having never thought about what she could do before.

"Papa doesn't just collect 'flowers' for his garden. Every one of his wives works hard for his sake, and the sake of Asora. Even I train every day so I can be of use to papa some day!" As she declared such, Myuu moved faster than Shirahoshi could follow as she hit one of the walls around them, shattering it instantly.

Such incidents weren't too uncommon within the villa, so there were several layers of enchantments within the very walls that began repairing them as soon as Myuu broke it. But her point was made as she turned back to Shirahoshi, and said,

"See? But even now I'm not throng enough to help papa... I have to be stronger!"

Seeing the determination Myuu had, Shirahoshi was deeply moved. But it wasn't just her.

Kale as well had the most intense look of the three for some reason at Myuu's talk of supporting Alex, which was surprising considering her demure and hesitant nature. Videl however appeared awkward, since she wasn't nearly as devoted to Alex as the other two. Though, she had to admit that Alex could be pretty cool sometimes.

In the face of their determination, Shirahoshi was conflicted. Could she help Alex in any way?

She wasn't strong or reliable. She was a weakling, a coward, and a crybaby.

The only thing Shirahoshi could think of was how strong the Pokemon Alex had given her were, but they were still something she had received from others. Not her own ability....
