CHAPTER 428: BANTER. XANDER MAKES PREPARATIONS

The arena was no longer recognizable. What had once been a beautifully engineered colosseum now resembled the aftermath of a battle between natural disasters. The stands were cracked beyond saving, pillars tilted like drunken giants, and the sky above shimmered with distorted light where time and earth had collided too many times in rapid succession.

Ethan and Galeno clashed once more in the center, fist to palm, authority grinding against authority. The collision didn’t create a shockwave. It created silence. A moment where the world held its breath. Then it all fell apart.

The ground sank as if the whole colosseum had decided it didn’t want to exist anymore. The structure collapsed inward, stone walls turning to dust, the floor shattering into deep pits. Ethan teleported away from a falling slab of land, landing near the edge just as Galeno rose atop a floating chunk of bedrock, snorting a puff of exhausted satisfaction.

"Yeah... I think that’s enough for today," Ethan said, stretching his shoulders as if they hadn’t just rewired a continent’s worth of geology.

Galeno cracked his neck, the spiritual tortoise shell fading away. "Agreed. The builders are going to hate us."

"Eh. I’ll pay them extra."

A pair of irritated voices echoed from the ruined entrance.

"Seriously?" Maverick stomped over, stone wings shedding small bits of gravel. "We get kicked out after warming up and you two get to destroy the entire arena?!"

Stygian’s three heads all huffed together, purple flames flickering aggressively. "We didn’t even get round two. Master better let us join next time."

"Yeah," the right head said. "I wanted to use my Bite of Despair."

"And I wanted to nap afterward," the left head added grumpily.

Galeno raised a lazy brow. "You two would have been flattened."

"That’s not the point!" Maverick snapped, crossing his arms.

Ethan laughed, rubbing the back of his head. "Relax. We’ll have more matches. Besides, I needed to test my new ability against someone who could really counter it."

Maverick and Stygian exchanged looks, then groaned dramatically in perfect synchronization. "Show-off."

The four of them stood amidst the destruction for a moment, breathing in what remained of the morning air. Dust was still settling, sunlight filtering through the rising clouds of pulverized stone. It felt strangely peaceful after such chaos.

Ethan smiled. "Who’s up for breakfast?"

Galeno raised a hand without hesitation. Maverick nodded with exaggerated seriousness. Stygian’s three heads answered differently.

"Yes."

"Meat?"

"Extra meat."

Ethan clapped his hands. "Then let’s get out of this mess before anyone blames me again."

They teleported away in a flash of light and rippling space, leaving behind what once was a colosseum but now looked more like the crater of a friendly apocalypse.

As always in the Kael’Dri household, chaos was just the warmup.

...

Far from the chaotic colosseum, a more chaotic scene was happening. It wasn’t the physical kind of chaos, but a more mental one.

The prince of Helheim, Xander Asmodeus Beaumains, was close to ripping his head off his body. His mother hadn’t returned after she went to get Gluttony. It had already been three days in the demon realm, and there was still no sign of her.

He knew that no one could ever hope to defeat her in Helheim. She was just a step away from ascending to a demigod, but was holding herself back because of her one tru wish; to be with him. Her first love, her master, her creator.

And Xander completely understood her. He was the sin of Lust after all and he could tell how hollow she was inside. Part of it had been filled, but a very massive was left and could only be filled by her one true love, body, mind and soul.

He wasn’t disturbed because she hadn’t returned. He was rather disturbed because she would most likely go in search of another being, who had recently appeared in Helheim in search of "his soulmates."

No one knew her identity, but one thing was clear... she is strong.

Xander knew his mother well... she hated anyone challenging her, with the only exception being his father. And, now this being comes and throws a challenge to kill all "his soulmates."

At first, it didn’t make much sense. Because, who is he? Until, Lilith got a vision and figured out that, this new being was a soulmate of her lover too.

But, she was the mad type. A psychopathic, crazy and obsessive lover and also a fool.

Lilith herself was very obsessive. In fact, she could be said to be the most obsessive person in the world!

She was the paragon of Sins, the mother of all sins. Obsession was just a small part of what she embodies.

So, hearing of this challenge made her... mad.

Xander had never seen her this angry before. Right now what he feared was his mother beating up this challenger so bad that, she might become a vegetable.

He wasn’t afraid of her killing the challenger, because she won’t. Killing a soulmate would have a backlash on not only the core of the bonds, her lover, but also herself and all other soulmates who knew nothing of this.

So, she would just beat her up... probably.

"Argh!!! My allowance is too low for this!" He screamed in derision. "I didn’t sign up for this..."

He got up from the sofa he was laying in and walked towards his bedroom.

"I need to prepare for the future. But, first, it’s time to break the last Lust Seal... my virginity..." He said with a serious face as his eyes glowed with deep pink light.

"Eliza!" He called out as he entered his room.

Soon enough he heard a knock.

"Your highness..."

"Come in!"

The door opened to reveal a very beautiful lady in a short maid outfit. She had black skin and long white hair that was tied in braids. She appeared to be a bit muscular with a curvy shape, thick thighs and a huge set of breasts. Her eyes were a beautiful wine and she appeared to be very tall, almost 7 feet. She was taller than Xander, no doubt.

Xander was tall for his age, standing at a good 6.4 feet, but compared to Eliza, he was short.

"Eliza, my love. I told you to call me by my name..." Xander spoke sweetly, his voice enchanting.

"I-I’m sorry!" It appeared Eliza was a very shy one.

"Don’t worry... I love you, no matter what..." Xander said as he slowly approached Eliza and cupped her face in his hands.

The sight was almost comical, as he was shorter than her, but their presence was different.

Without waiting for her to respond, he kissed her plump and luscious lips.

Eliza released a surprised moan, but it didn’t last long as she reciprocated it.

Not long after, her clothes fell off her body, revealing her sexy body to the virgin Sin of Lust.

Xander ignored it as he hungrily sucked on her lips, while his right hand squeezed her breasts.

Eliza released soft moans, as she was clearly enjoying it. Her juices had already started leaking.

In no time, her body shook as she orgasmed from the foreplay.

Xander had truly lived up to his name as the Sin of Lust.

He carried her in a princess style while she was shaking, and slowly lay her on the bed. Then he spread open her thighs, revealing her pink cave. His eyes glowed with an intense pink, his aura of lust enveloping the room.

"Is this your first time?" He asked, prompting Eliza to answer with multiple nods, as she hugged her massive breasts with her hands. Just this act stimulated the Sin of Lust, so much that he plunged his tongue into her pink cave, causing her to release a loud moan.

It was sure gonna be a fun night...
