While Claire tries to figure out what's wrong with her 'Lucien' in the water, Greed laughs in her mind, and the real Lucien has a beautiful reunion with Sophia and Sloth in the sky.
He can also feel his other wives coming toward him a little over fifteen miles away. But someone has already arrived there beside Sophia.
"LUCIEN!!!" With another shout that echoes for miles, a gray light appears on the horizon ahead.
That's Amelia being carried by Envy, who flaps her little bat-wings as hard as she can, trying to get them to Lucien as quickly as possible. Amelia actually used the teleport ability to travel faster than the Sea Devil but she needs Envy to catch her before she falls into the ocean.
Inside Claire's soul, Greed is shocked again because things seem so crazy, starting with Sloth and her host being so active.
Now she sees Envy carrying her host that way. It's very bizarre for Greed as she knows that sister of her is as selfish as herself, or even worse.
Greed has seen Envy feel jealous of everything and sabotage even her hosts to get what she wants, so to see her trying so hard to help Amelia be reunited with her brother a little faster than the others seems insanity.
She will be even more shocked when she realizes how willing Envy is to help and protect Lucien's whole family because she knows they are important to him.
But the fact is that she still cares about herself in the first place and is only carrying Amelia to Lucien because they need to be some distance close so she can also be in his arms.
And once they've reached that distance, Envy doesn't think twice about dropping Amelia into the water to materialize her body in Lucien's embrace.
"Huh??" But before Envy can do that, Amelia acts even faster by teleporting behind Lucien and hugging his neck.
"Brother!!!" She exclaims as she closes her eyes and just enjoys his fragrance. "I missed you so much!!!"
Lucien obviously wasn't taken aback by Amelia's cute attack, but he definitely doesn't hate that and lets her keep climbing on his back, pressing his wings to her heart's content.
"I missed you too, Amelia." He responds in a loving tone.
While Amelia and Envy are not easy to deal with, Lucien hasn't gone a day without thinking about them and how it was missing essential parts of his heart whenever he was away from his most jealous lovers.
"Hahahaha..." Amelia doesn't stop laughing with happiness as she kisses Lucien's neck, also trying to cover Sophia's kiss marks with her own lips marks.
Having Sophia and Sloth in his arms while Amelia takes all the s.p.a.ce on his back, Lucien has no room to hug or be hugged by Envy, who materializes her body in front of him and pouts.
"And me, didn't you miss me???" She puts on her most pitiful expression while even her wings look droopy due to sadness.
Anyone seeing Envy that way would be sorry for her, but Lucien already knows her so well that he understands she's not sad at all; she's just upset that she doesn't have him for her alone.
"It's needless to say that I missed my beautiful little jealous devil." He laughs.
A purple glow pa.s.ses through Envy's gray eyes as she gazes at Sophia and Sloth. She doesn't need to say anything because her look alone makes her complaints and protests explicit.
Still, Sophia hugs Lucien's right arm even tighter, making it clear that she won't let go of him.
Sloth, on the other hand, smiles at Envy as he flies backward. She definitely doesn't want to leave Lucien's embrace, her favorite place ever. But she understands that he wants to hug all his wives before he can give them something else they are also craving for.
With that altruistic action, Sloth gets one of Envy's rare genuine smiles of grat.i.tude. Then, she smiles at Lucien as she prepares to feel his body heat again.
"I've waited so long for it..." Envy comments as she slowly flies into Lucien's embrace.
But then his loving expression turns perplexed as his eyes focus on the horizon behind her.
"Huh?" Envy looks back, also confused to notice a brown dot approaching them quickly.
"A rock?" Lucien and Envy think aloud.
*WHOOOOOSH*
A person-sized and bullet-shaped rock flies toward them with the speed of an Immortal Realm peak person, shocking them all.
[An attack???] The girls think, and Envy and Sloth quickly create defensive barriers in front of the group.
But Lucien quickly teleports to the front of the barrier and welcomes the rock with open arms. He obviously uses his demonic energy to the fullest to boost his defenses.
*BAM* *BOOOOM*
The rock explodes into dust on contact with Lucien, who is pushed back tens of meters until he absorbs the impact of that collision.
[???] The girls are very confused, and when the dust cloud settles, they see Lucien hugging the little vampire in his arms, both still covered in dust.
"HUBBY!!!" Rose exclaims as she repeatedly kisses Lucien's lips.
Rose is extremely happy and thrilled to be able to kiss and hug Lucien again. But due to having with her not only a soul contract but also a blood connection, he feels her intense desire for his blood.
He should also be craving for her blood, but his incredible life mana fills that need. Yet, upon being with her again, he understands how much he misses that and wastes no time before slightly cutting Rose's lips with his teeth.
She is even happier that he also desires her blood and cuts his lips with her teeth for them to start the b.l.o.o.d.y kiss.
"Mmmm…" Rose moans in pleasure while Lucien also delights in that b.l.o.o.d.y kiss. He hugs her slim waist tightly with both arms as she also hugs him so tightly and even spikes her nails on his back, a really wild kiss.
Meanwhile, Amelia holds onto Envy's legs not to fall into the water, and Sophia levitates using her magic energies.
The three women gaze at Lucien and Rose with upset and jealous expressions. So they comment at the same time. "Such a selfish girl!!!"
Sophia also calls the magic pillow back to her while breaking Claire's illusion. She is very confused and upset but keeps holding the pillow to go towards the group in the sky.
"What the h.e.l.l is going on here?!?!?" Claire exclaims.
"Sister." Amelia and Sophia greet her with loving smiles. Despite competing for Lucien's attention, they still love each other as a family.
"Amelia!! Sophia! I miss you so much, my sisters!!" Claire laughs with happiness as the three sisters embrace each other on the magic pillow.
Giving Lucien and Rose room to sate their need for each other's blood, l.u.s.t materializes her body to compliment Envy and Sloth.
Then Envy looks at Claire. "Stop hiding and avoiding us, Greed!"
However, she does not appear but speaks to her sisters mentally. 'f.u.c.k you, Envy!! I don't know what the heck is going on with you, but I won't partic.i.p.ate in this madness!'
Sloth sighs. "A natural reaction… I mean, I don't think we've ever acted like that before, or anything merely similar to that."
"The sooner she accepts that Lucien is the best thing that's happened to us, the better it will be for everyone." l.u.s.t comments.
"Bulls.h.i.+t!" Envy protests. "I wouldn't mind if all the women in the universe get away from Lucien, leaving him for me alone, hehehe..."
"But it would just waste the infinite potential we have together..." Sloth comments as she looks at Lucien with a thoughtful expression. "Speaking of potential... I thought he would be pretty similar when we split up, but I feel like you guys have gotten a lot stronger... there's something..."
l.u.s.t smiles. "You have no idea what kind of power we've discovered... it will blow your mind up!"
As she waits for the other Sins to arrive to tell them everything they've learned about the soul power and Lucien's new abilities, his sisters fly over to him and Rose.
"How long will this kiss last??" Amelia asks.
Despite being jealous as well, Sophia appears serene and curious. "How did you get here faster than the s.h.i.+p??"
Lucien breaks the kiss, and Rose licks the drops of blood from his lips as she giggles. "The s.h.i.+p has a cannon that can fire something the size of a person, so I asked Maggie to shoot me like a rock bullet."
"That sounds a little dangerous…" Lucien comments. "Did your mother know you would do it?"
The little vampire makes a sorry expression as she continues to lick Lucien's face, which upsets Claire. "You know, my earth magic is getting more and more powerful... and I knew you would catch me."
"..." He just sighs because he can't blame his wives for trusting that so much.
Lucien feels the atmosphere growing tense due to the girls' jealousy and greed, which strengthens Envy and Greed as well as their l.u.s.tful feelings strengthen him and l.u.s.t.
In fact, their sinful auras come together, creating something that empowers everyone there. The group is already used to that, but Greed is increasingly surprised at how they manage to cooperate around Lucien.
That sinful aura is enough to make millions of women fight to the death for Lucien, but the influence of the b.l.o.o.d.y rose on his sisters makes it all the more intense.
So while the three sisters look at their brother like hungry beasts seeing the best piece of meat ever, they see Rose as the rival who is stealing him just for her.
But before the situation gets out of hand, the Sea Devil appears on the horizon, and Lucien makes a relieved expression as he lets go of Rose and flies towards it. "Oh, the others have arrived."
"..." Amelia and Sophia just sigh as they imagine how they'll really sate the longing for Lucien later in the purple world.
But Claire looks at Rose with a strange expression. "Aren't you too young to get married???"
"I'm twice your age!" She quickly responds, but her tone and att.i.tude only make her look more childish. "Also, I'm your sister-in-law, so some respect would be good."
"Humpf!" Claire is surprised by that reaction. "Don't count on it, little brat!"
"Who is the little brat?!?!" Rose gets upset and creates a huge stone sword in the air.
"You are a little brat!!!" Claire doesn't back down and materializes a huge golden sword in midair.
Sophia has to put both fighting girls in an illusion, so they don't fight because she's too lazy to move.
Envy and Amelia do nothing as to them, that fight only seems to benefit as both girls would be punished by Lucien, not having his caresses for a while and thus giving them more time to enjoy him alone.
Meanwhile, the Sea Devil slows down as Lucien flies to the deck. Seeing all his wives together makes him feel complete again, except for that special s.p.a.ce that is still empty in his heart.
"My lovers..." He smiles at the girls.
"Hubby!!!!" But before his feet touch the s.h.i.+p's deck, he is 'attacked' by girls who fly with wings or levitate with magic.
Lena, Marie, Maggie, and Ella are the first to hug him. But other girls like Mia, Ghilanna, Madelyn, Lorelai, Kylee, Neola, Rebecca, Anne, Elsie, and Kara quickly jump over Lucien too.
They can't wait for each other to have a turn to hug him and struggle desperately to touch and kiss any part of his body.
Lucien obviously isn't going to use force to calm the girls down and doesn't run away from them with the teleport ability either. He just lets that crazy warm family hug happen.
"Easy, girls, girls, girls... easy... hahaha..." He tries to convince them to go easy, but at the same time, he's so happy to have his girls around and on top of him again.
The mature ladies can only be jealous of the young ones for being able to act so selfishly without being punished. And although they really want to jump over Lucien too, they choose to wait patiently to get their share of hubby.
That scene may not surprise the women who know Lucien well, but some of them are shocked by the situation.
While Eve and Donna laugh, Naomi looks sorry for Lucien.
Nea is also perplexed as she looks at the many girls over Lucien. "Woah! Is his body made of sugar or something???"
"I'm sure if that's not the case, it must still be delicious..." Maya comments as she feels there's something about Lucien that she's never seen in anyone else.
'It must be really delicious!!!' Gluttony agrees with Maya's comment and talks to Naomi mentally.
