'Still, aren't seven abilities completely insane? How did the girls even manage that?'
The function I originally asked Addison to add to the wedding rings was a soul wallet. As the battle with the Slayer showed, {Rewind} needed souls to be of any use. If you did not have the souls to invoke it, it provided neither protection nor flexibility.
To prevent this from happening in the future, I requested that the rings be turned into makeshift soul wallets. During my proposal, I took advantage of the fact that I was 49 million souls in debt and gave each ring one million souls.
'I an, there wasn't really much difference between 49 million and 56 million. In contrast, being broke and having 1 million souls is like fucking night and day.'
I didn't know how it worked, but I could still use souls even though I was beyond broke. Of course, because of my disposition, I wanted to add more abilities. Unfortunately, I found out that I could only add one ability to a benevol. So, I had to be extrely careful with what I selected.
The benevols were sothing I requested because I wanted the girls to be safe from soul collapses.
Before I gave the rings to the girls, I actually checked with Exa. According to her, the rings do not lose their holy power over ti. Only with repeated use.
So, I decided to focus on that point. With {Bestow} I inscribed a custom {Rewind} ability on the rings for the Sirens. The custom {Rewind} had only one purpose. When the rings lost their ability to purify malice, they would be rewound for free.
The souls for the Rewind of the benevols would be shouldered by . My goal was simple. To ensure that each ring would protect my girls from soul collapses. For all eternity. I tried to hide this function by pouring souls into the soul wallet that each ring possessed.
"But it seems they found out," I thought, admiring my benevol.
From the description of {Code}, the girls were able to bypass the limit by binding {Never Alone} to the rings I gave them.
My benevol's 2nd ability was also to turn into a makeshift wallet. The 4th ability built on that and allowed to draw souls from the girls' reserves.
The 1st ability strengthened my defenses by creating an anti-malice barrier. Of course, the corruption was paid for by the Sirens. As a bonus, the 7th ability increased my limit by sending the malice I purified to my harem.
The 6th ability went beyond that. Once {Never Alone} reached 100% corruption, it would still protect by sending the malice to the girls.
The 3rd ability gave the girls the ability to know where I was, no matter how far away I was.
The only ability inscribed on my benevol was [Beacon]. It was a unique {Program} Lilly created to quickly summon the Sirens.
From the carefully crafted abilities, I felt the overwhelming affection of my battle harem.
It made what they had promised a reality. To give their everything. To protect and guard my heart, mind, and body. And to co to my aid whenever I needed them.
'That is why they called it {Never Alone}.'
I choked back tears, overwheld with their powerful emotions.
'Exa, show the status of the {Sirens of Sin}.'

The {Sirens of Sin} were benevols based on the Seven Deadly Sins. Funnily enough, when Addison asked what designs to use, that was the first thing that ca to mind.
It fit with my inside joke about the girls and them being villainesses. Plus, the girls' {Fates} actually mirrored the Seven Deadly Sins to a large extent. Because of these seemingly fated tendencies, I had each ring designed for a specific sin.
I then had Addison use gemstones to reflect a color from the rainbow. The final product was seven rings that were part of a set. I called them the {Sirens of Sin}. I was quite pleased with the result and increasingly pleased with the functions I was able to inscribe.
Since the {Sirens of Sin} would never be completely dull, the girls tied {Never Alone} to their benevols. The end product would an that my benevol would only fail to help if all seven of my girls had already succumbed to soul collapses.
Love, gratitude, and peace surged through my heart. It then flowed to my {Kindred} link. Again, I found salvation in my girls. Who cared if the other continents ca for ? I would just beat the living shit out of them. And being their target ant that I would not die.
Whether it was undead, reapers, or demons, what I had to do remained the sa. To survive long enough to close Hellsgate, I had to get stronger. That, and I had to never lose the will to fight.
Whatever fear, anxiety, and frustration I had felt at Phillip's lecture lted away. The world seed hell-bent on driving to the wall, but it didn't matter because I could endure.
All because of the girls who were willing to sacrifice their everything to keep safe.
'My {Kindred}, I love you all,' I send through our link.
A wave of bliss rolled over as the girls replied.
'Not as much as I love you, my Beloved.'
'Fufu, be grateful, Dearest. You are the only man in the world who receives my devotion. But I should add that I love you even more.'
'I knew that already, Possum. Ya got any new cringy lines? Oh! And before I forget. I love you too!'
'I love you more, Darling! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! HEHEHE!'
'Of course you do! How could you not, Honey? Hehe, kidding! love you!'
'I never doubted for a single mont, Husband. I love you the most in this world.'
'As soone blessed to receive your love, I am quite lucky. Anata, I love you as well.'
Chuckling at their answers, I looked up to see Phillip and the other won gossiping.
"Girl, what was that? I thought we were going to die!"
"I know, right? The amount of blood lust coming from Patron was scary! No cap!"
"Fuck! Is Limitless like this all the ti? He is practically bipolar!"
"I find that whenever my master thinks deeply, death resonance cos out of him in such great amounts. Oh, and rember, do not try to get close to him. Not unless you want to die. It is best to just wait."
"I know, Vincent told the sa thing. The lord almost killed him in a mont of carelessness. Fortunately, what happened right now wasn't a soul collapse, was it?"
"No, it wasn't. The devil's remains soulgear given by the ladies seems to work wonders," Phillip confird.
I coughed and tried to continue the discussion.
"Call them benevols from now on."
"Benevols?" x5
"Soulgear created from benevolent wishes or Devil's remains. Benevols. The original na was much too long."
"Phillip, from now on. We will reduce our sale of devil's remnants. We will arm all our assault teams with benevols. We will start with the Phantoms first. And from this point on, any Wraith who does not evolve into a Phantom after one week will be removed from the 2nd Andnt."
"I see. Truly, my lord. Even with all that is happening, you only care about one thing."
"Yeah, it doesn't matter who, if they want to fuck around with . They are welco to try."
