Daisy licks her lips while gazing at the squirrels in Lucien's hand. She is feeling hunger as never before, and only blood can satisfy that hunger.
He quickly hands the squirrels to her, and she sticks her fangs into their necks and starts to drain their blood.
"Mmmmm..." Daisy closes her eyes and moans softly as she feels that those squirrels have the best blood she has ever tasted. Her body just feels too good.
Lucien smiles as he sees that satisfied expression on Daisy's face while Sloth and Sophia look at her too. Meanwhile, Donna taps Helena on the shoulder as both of them are very concerned about her situation.
Rose is surprised to see her mother's reaction because Daisy always said that animal blood was pretty bad. Then she quickly looks at Lucien with a thoughtful expression. "Did you do something with these squirrels?"
"Of course not." He quickly responds, and Rose feels bad that she thought something strange.
Daisy finishes draining all the blood from one of the squirrels really quickly. "Woah!! I never felt so good about drinking blood... it feels a lot better than before."
Sophia smiles. "I think it's because your Blood Nascent was damaged or something like that."
"Actually not..." Sloth begins to explain. "Daisy now has demonic energies inside her in a very intense way... Because a large part of that energy is from Lucien and l.u.s.t, from now on, she will react differently to pleasure."
"What do you mean?" Rose asks while Daisy is unable to speak as she is devouring another squirrel.
Sloth responds. "She will feel more pleasure just as you do because of Lucien. Also, because those demonic energies have remade her Blood Nascent and original blood, she will feel even more pleasure from doing vampire things like drinking blood, and... the blood contract, if she does one, of course."
"It doesn't seem like a bad thing... mmm... I mean... mmm... animal blood doesn't feel so bad now..." Daisy comments as she continues to drink blood from the squirrels.
A part of Lucien is happy that Daisy is healed and better, but a part of him cannot help feeling that it is wrong for her to have to drink animal blood while she should have a man who loves her taking care of all her physical and mental needs.
Since he can't do anything about that right now, he looks at Sophia and Sloth. "What is Helena's situation?"
Sophia makes a sorry expression. "I tried to help her, but it didn't work."
"She is not really sick or damaged." Sloth explains. "Her body has been changed, and her cells are aging much faster than normal. Due to her original power level, she managed to survive for a long time, but I don't think she can continue for more than two years."
Lucien makes a thoughtful expression while Helena and Donna look hopeless. So Sloth continues. "Sophia tried to give her life mana, but after giving Daisy so much of her energies, she is exhausted. Hard work is not my thing, and now this is also the same for her."
"Can life mana help her?" He asks, clearly willing to give her mana, in life his way, of course.
Sloth nods. "Yes, life mana can nourish her body, delaying her accelerated decay, but as I said, hard work is not for Sophia and me, so that would be harmful to us, and Helena would need a lot of life mana daily to be able to live for another ten or fifteen years."
While Helena is even more depressed, Lucien sighs. "That is still a short time..."
"Yes..." Sloth responds. "She will die unless we can figure out how to reverse what they did to her body or turn her into something else..."
Lucien is hopeful that Sloth seems to have something in mind. "How can we do that?"
Donna is also hopeful again, but Helene is more focused on understanding why Lucien seems to want to help her so badly.
She understands that he wants a powerful ally, especially if she could be his woman, but he already has very powerful sisters with potentials far superior to hers, a person who had already reached the peak of her potential hundreds of years ago.
Sloth explains her thoughts. "Well, one option is to capture G.o.ds and force them to tell us how they modified her body."
"It is not yet time to fight the G.o.ds." l.u.s.t quickly comments.
"I think so." Sloth responds.
"But you have another idea, don't you?" Lucien asks.
Sloth looks at him and then at Sophia's belly. "Yes... This is something I have been thinking about for a while, but I was only sure after the Nature Spirit talked about it."
Lucien understands what she's talking about. "Is this what the Nature Spirit talked to Mia about? I was also thinking about it..."
While Helena and Donna are confused, Sloth explains. "The Nature Spirit said that Mia is no longer human because of her child."
"How is this possible?" Wrath materializes her body to ask.
Sloth looks at Sophia. "I noticed a lot of changes in Sophia since that we met. Her ability to control the dream world is better than any host I've ever had, even the most talented of races better than humans."
"That could be due to the Blood Rose." Wrath quickly suggests.
"I thought so too..." Sloth comments. "But she was already much stronger than any human when we first met. To use mental abilities so well it takes great soul strength, and her soul got stronger very quickly after she and Lucien had s.e.x."
"Also, her ability to control demonic energy has also increased much faster than I expected. No other race can control demonic energy as well as demons, of course."
l.u.s.t makes a thoughtful expression. "Do you think she is absorbing the child's racial traits?"
Sloth nods. "Yes. You see, the race with the greatest potential for soul power is the dragons, and Lucien is supposed to be a hybrid of humans, demons, and dragons."
Sophia caresses her belly while making a loving expression. "I feel very powerful, but other than that, I don't feel very different from before."
"I believe that this process is as slow as the child's developmental period will be for most other girls. But the Nature Spirit said that Mia is no longer human, so we must understand that Lucien's other pregnant women are also turning into something else." Sloth explains.
While Lucien thinks about that, Donna looks confused. "And what does that have to do with helping Helena?"
Sloth slowly rolls her eyes as Helena looks at Lucien with a strange look. "She wants me to have his child..."
"If your problem is that your body was changed, Lucien's child could change it again... transform you into something more than an angel and a fallen angel... make you evolve to a higher being who would not have these problems that you have now." l.u.s.t explains.
"But at a very high cost..." Helena thinks aloud.
Sloth makes a confused expression. "I don't see how bad that would be for you. I can tell you from my own experience that Lucien's means are as pleasurable as efficient."
l.u.s.t makes a mocking expression. "Leave her alone. She would rather die than lose her stupid virginity."
Helena looks at l.u.s.t with an upset expression. "Why do you keep saying that I'm a virgin? I already told you that I don't have any s.e.xual problems!"
"I have a.n.a.lyzed your body, and I know that you have never done anything s.e.xual before." l.u.s.t quickly responded.
"You are wrong about that!" She speaks and quickly explains. "I don't know why you think so, but before... before they made me into this, I had a family, a husband, and a daughter..."
While l.u.s.t doesn't believe in Helena, Sloth comments. "Perhaps the transformation to fallen angel has erased those characteristics from her body."
"Maybe..." l.u.s.t thinks out loud and then speaks to Helena again. "So why are you so hesitant to have s.e.x with Lucien? Don't you want to cheat on your husband or something?"
She makes a sad expression as she sighs. "I... that's not it. He doesn't want me anymore..."
"So, what's the problem?" Sloth asks.
Helena responds in a melancholy tone. "I will never have s.e.x with a man again because the day my daughter died, I felt so much pain that it makes this d.a.m.n curse feel good. I failed once as a mother and wife, so I don't want to do it again."
Lucien and his sisters are very sorry for Helena. Daisy is also sad because she knows that she couldn't bear to lose Rose.
l.u.s.t is also sorry for Helena, but she continues. "You will die if you don't do it."
"Then I must accept my response," Helena replies and then looks at Lucien. "I don't hate you or anything like that. I actually saw how good you are to your women as much as you are ruthless to your enemies."
She continues. "I try to find fault with your actions, so I don't fall in love with you, but I know it would end up happening if we get close... And I don't want to suffer like that again."
Lucien starts walking towards Helena while he feels an urge to hug and protect her. "You cannot predict what will happen to my family and me."
She walks back. "But I know that you and your children are the first hybrids of two of the most powerful races in the universe and the main enemies of the G.o.ds..."
"I could die fighting alongside my husband to protect our family, but I couldn't bear to see you and our children become experiments of cruel G.o.ds or any other race. And... there is still that mysterious woman. I'm afraid of her, and I don't even want to imagine the idea of her stealing my children to do anything wicked."
Lucien stops walking when Helena is already at the edge of the mountain. Then he extends his hand to her. "I know what happened to you was bad, but getting away from everyone is not going to make you feel better. Come with me, and I will make you happy again."
A sparkle of hope runs over Helena's eyes, but she quickly shakes her head. "I would like to believe this promise, but you are not the only owner of your life."
"I'm sorry..." She speaks and quickly flaps her wings, flying into the starry and night sky.
"Helena!!" Donna shouts and quickly looks at Wrath. "Take me to her!"
Wrath doesn't move and just looks at Donna with an upset expression. Then Lucien hugs Donna. "It's alright; she's not going to run away or anything. She just needs some time to think."
Donna is really concerned about Helena, especially after learning more about her sad past. "But... she needs help!"
Lucien looks at the sky. "I really want to help her, but she needs to accept my help as I can't force her into anything."
"Leave her alone a while." l.u.s.t speaks and quickly continues. "As soon as she realizes how powerful our family is going to be, she will accept her true destiny."
Sloth looks at Lucien with a loving expression. "Yes, and at that moment, worrying about her children would be bulls.h.i.+t because Lucien will destroy any threat to them."
Lucien can't help but wonder what that will be like when his children are born. He keeps thinking about that since Sophia returned to his side, mainly because their child will be born soon due to both of them having powerful life mana.
Then he thinks about how a child could give Helena back the happiness she lost. Lucien feels a lot of desire to please her as well as all his wives because giving pleasure will make him receive more pleasure and thus become stronger to protect his whole family.
And while thinking about that, he remembers that he should be having his wedding night right now, giving his wives so much pleasure to keep them getting stronger.
