Cain landed in his mansion in the heavens. "Finally ho," He sighed, stretching.
"Is this where you're living now?" Alice stared behind his shoulder, "It looks like it," Sofia added.
"This place is oozing with divine magic," Ereshkigal growled, "How many gods dwell here? Or this is because of you alone?"
"Don't worry," Cain waved his hand, "I'm not that kind of monster, there are other gods here,"
"Goddesses," Gracie said, walking forward, "I only sll won around here," She grunted, staring back at him, "There are a ton of them,"
Bacchus sighed, "I ended up coming, but this is more than I expected,"
"Don't worry," Cain looked at them, "Nyar won't attack imdiately, and you'll have enough ti to prepare and settle down," He smiled, "For now, rest and take a bath, the maids will guide you through the mansion,"
"Mansion? I feel like this building spreads infinitely," Gracie looked around, "Is it linked to sothing?"
"A massive maze-like dungeon with several links to a specially built heaven based in the abyss," Cain replied, "Until I get you a pass, the maids are your only way of getting around,"
"Passes?" Sofia stared at him.
"You can walk around in this mansion freely, but to go out, or a room that's housed in another dinsion, you'll need a pass. A magic inscription in your hands," He looked at them, "The pass is based on the soul, so you'll have the sa pass as the girls I know.
That would cause conflict and would null both passes as the security system would consider them both a fake pass," Cain waved his hand, "I can't be too careful with the abomination around,"
"Then, what will you do?" Alice asked.
"As I said, I'll figure sothing out. You go, take a bath and rest for now," He turned and saw Klara approaching.
"Master Cain, what's going on?" She stared at the girls, "Why do they look shriveled like a dead squid?"
"I'm sure they aren't," Cain sighed, staring at the girls, "They definitely look older, but not shriveled. Where did you see that?"
Klara stared at him, "It's a joke. Lady Alice would've got it. Those are fakes," She glared at the girls, "So tell , are they the sa as Elise and Amaya?"
"You're sharp," Cain smiled, patting her shoulder, "As expected from you, they won't fool your eyes,"
"Of course they won't. I've been serving here for a while. It'll be embarrassing if I can't tell the ladies apart," She replied.
"You're right. They are the sa as Amaya and Elise. They are from other tilines where I died," Cain looked at them, "Except those two," He pointed, "Bacchus, the devil of liquor and wine, I intend on raising her to goddess statues to handle entertainnt in general,"
"And she?" Klara looked at Ereshkigal.
"Rember what happened to Alice?" Cain smiled, and Bacchus gasped, "AH! We forgot him in hell!" Cain waved his hand. "Go and find him in devil's lip. When you do, a purple portal will appear. Send him through that then call to bring you back,"
"Where will the portal send him?"
"To Moradin's forge, he'll train with the dwarves' god army," Cain replied, "A place better than hell for him, and a place where he'll be useful,"
"Stright to the coal mines," Bacchus went back to hell.
"I do rember," Klara approached Cain, "You're talking about the devil ritual?"
"Yeah, do you rember what I said?"
"When Lady Alice's brother cursed her at birth, her soul died, and a devil soul inhabited the body instead. So lord and Lady Furberg have been raising a devil in a human body,"
Cain nodded, "She's the devil soul's mother."
"Lady Alice's mother?" She gasped.
"Depends," Cain mumbled, looking up with his eyes closed as he held his chin, thinking, "Biologically, Alice is a human. Ereshkigal is her soul mother. Her father is Lucifer, but their relationship was sothing that ended in the start of ti,"
"The important part is she's Lady Alice's soul mother," Klara looked at him.
"And the goddess of the afterlife, she's the one that guides the souls of the dead. You can think of her as the sailor on the boat that helps you cross the river to the afterlife," Cain patted Ereshkigal's shoulder.
"Get them a bath. I'll go to the lab. I need Lilia's help." He said.
"Need my help?" Lilia said, appearing above Cain's head and sitting on his shoulders, squeezing his neck with her legs, "You really went to hell and brought her,"
"So, what do you think?" Cain looked at her.
She grabbed his face and stared right into his eyes, "It isn't a forbidden knowledge now. Leave it to the overgod to change the strings of fate,"
Cain giggled, "Do you have ti? I want to make them a pass," He pointed at the other girls, "Yeah, but they'll need to use different nas. That's why the spell won't get confused."
"Call Maharaja-nya," Selena replied with a smile, "Asmodeus seems long, so just call Asmo," Alice smiled.
"Tiamat would do," Sofia looked at Gracie, "And you?"
"Death sounds strange, so call Grace." She bowed.
"You heard them," Cain looked at Lilia, "Got it, now we have both death and the styc's sailor. We can plan big," Lilia waved her hands, and she disappeared with Cain, leaving the girls alone with Klara.
"So?" Asmo stared at Klara, "What's now?"
"Follow . The bath is always ready here," She turned, and they started walking behind her.
ZON! At the back, a portal opened, "Wait for !" Bacchus rushed after them, "Cain just returned ,"
Klara looked back at her, "Don't worry, the bath is still within this mansion and I'm not the only maid here,"
As they walked toward the stairs, they saw Diana walk up the stairs, "Headmaid Klara, who are they?" She asked.
"A long story. I'll explain to you once I get them into the bath." Klara replied.
"Then I'll gather everyone in the living room,"
"Please do," Klara said as she walked away with the girls.
Diana rushed through the hallway to call the other maids, almost tripping on her own legs.
Maharaja looked at Klara, "She slls weird,"
Grace added, "She ans that she's reeking with divine magic, and you as well,"
"Probably since they live here?" Asmo scratched her head, "What do you think?"
"Do humans even adapt to their environnt like dragons?" Tiamat added.
"It's obvious," Bacchus sighed, looking at Ereshkigal.
"Yeah," Ereshkigal looked at Klara, "They've been sleeping with Cain all this ti. It's his magic that's floating in their bodies."
"You're right," Klara replied, "As Master once said, each of us has enough divine magic to put demigods to sha, but sadly we aren't fighters." She smiled, "You can say that by sleeping with him our bodies and souls get soaked in divine magic. The sa happens for the ladies of the house, and we've been abusing it to get stronger,"
"Really?" The girls stared at her, confused.
"As an Overgod, his power is on another level. You can say it's the most effective way he could share his power with them," Ereshkigal looked at the girls, "We might end up the sa,"
"We'll end up the sa," Grace replied, "Of course," Tiamat growled, "Nya!" And Maharaja confird after them. "Wait!" Asmo looked at Ereshkigal, "You as well?"
"Yeah, I think so," She sighed, holding her head, "I'm not sure about this,"
"You're stuck with your daughter," Bacchus laughed at her, "For , I'll happily do it. He's the overgod, you know?"
"We arrived," Klara said as she stopped in front of the bath's door, "The ladies are currently outside training. They'll be ho by the ti you get out, so at least show so respect,"
"We aren't going to start a fight," Asmo looked at her.
"You'll understand when that ti cos," Klara opened the door, "Let's get inside,"
