Marcus approached the sitting Carmilla who was looking at him closely. She had a very lustful look on her perfect face. Her eyes were shining with a certain amount of need in them.

The teen lifted his hand and stroked her cheek before leaning in and claiming her lips. That moment the beauty smiled internally. This was it!

She wrapped her hands around him and tried to pull him in but Marcus wrapped his hands around her and lifted her instead!

Carmilla quickly adjusted herself and wrapped her legs around him as well. The black-haired inventor's hands went on her perfectly snapped ass and squeezed it hard before starting to look for her sensitive spots.

The teen already noticed how different Vampires are compared to other beings. Her body temperature was slightly lower than regular people. But… this make out session alone already helped her to heat up.

Before long, Marcus was able to taste her mouth out and brushed past her fangs. He made sure he tasted everything.

"Hmmm~~~ you are a good kisser~~~" Carmilla said hotly as she started to rub into him.

Marcus only smiled at her as he took her to the bed. They were in the infirmary of the ship and there were a bunch of beds prepared for them.

Who would have thought that this would be the first proper time the infirmary was going to be used in 'that' way…

He laid her down as he started to undress her. There was not much to undress as she was in a simple dress. With a simple pull, she was in her underwear which were black lacy ones…

"It's like you were prepared already." The teen joked seeing how sexy she looked.

"Hmm~~~ You think?~~~ this is my casual underwear~~~ but I could get sexier for you next time~~~" She said with a purr.

Marcus could only smile more hearing that. Since she said that...well, she will be experiencing a wide array of underwear he is going to preparing for her.

"Oh don't worry… I will give you a catalogue." The teen inventor said that while starting to trace his finger on her pale skin.

Carmilla slightly moaned when she felt that. His touch was surreal! It's like he was using magic...or is it a natural thing? The beauty had no idea but she liked it a lot!

He quickly removed her bra and started playing with her breasts. The vampire queen softly moaned each time he gently bit her nipples.

This continued on for a few minutes before he removed her panties. Showing her soaked pussy to him.

"Well?~~~ what are you going to do now?" Carmilla purred, spreading her legs apart showing her needy hole.

Marcus just smirked and undressed himself. Fully showing his nude body. 

The Vampire Queen's eyes widened and she subconsciously licked her lips. Whatever dislike she had for the whole situation of being chained to this man she lost that moment…

"Wow… who knew that those baggy clothes that you wear hid all of this~~~" She said while slightly moving forward. Her dandy hands stroked his chest. A shiver went through her back when she felt his body's sturdiness.

'This is...no human should be able to have a body this perfect! Did he… upgrade his body in some way!? This is just so hot!' 

Carmilla just got much wetter imagining this man having his way with her!

The teen grabbed her waist and pulled her up quite casually. Her beautiful eyes went wide as she realised what was going to happen next.

He lifted her and positioned her to receive his hard rod. He'd stopped playing around. Marcus had enough of playing as he has been messing with Artemis and Atalanta the whole day! And now he wants the real deal...

"W-W-Wait!" 

The Vampire Queen didn't finish her words as she was suddenly mounted on his hard rod. 

"Ahhhhh~~~ T-This~~~" Her mouth opened in a vulgar way as some drool started dripping from the corner of her lips.

"Ohhh… quite a virgin… your pussy is tight!" Marcus groaned at how tight Carmilla was! Reminding him of the girls he claimed virginity of!

The silver-haired beauty growled for a second. She is going to teach this guy!

But, before she could retort, he started moving her on his shaft. The Vampire Queen couldn't control herself anymore and lewd moans started escaping out of her lips.

What followed next was the smacking sounds of hard sex as Carmilla forgot about the previous comment and started drowning in all the pleasure.

"Allow me to show you a technique I perfected from my predecessor~~~" Marcus whispered into the beauty's ear as he pulled her closer to himself.

His hand went onto her ass as he started moving her in a synchronised manner.

That moment the vampire beauty came hard around his rod as she experienced a hard climax! It's like extra pleasure suddenly just manifested from somewhere!

"W-What the H-Hell is THIS~~~" Her whole body twitched and arched hard as her legs coiled extra hard around Marcus. Honestly, if he was much weaker he would have a broken spine at this point. Thankfully he did not try any of Solomon's techniques on Serafall or Grayfia when he was weaker than them…

Now, however… he is not restrained to such simple things…

"One of my predecessors' techniques… Now let me show you what more techniques Solomon left for me~~~" The teen said with quite a joyous tone.

Carmilla instantly snapped out from her orgasm and clouded mind. She quickly connected the dots…

'SHIT-SHIT-SHIT!!! He is not a sheep! Fuck! Fuck!' The beauty realised that she had just ended up in a wolf's den, and not in a flock of sheep!

"W-Wait! Hold on a minute!" The silver-haired beauty is not stupid! Those techniques, according to the legends, were enough to satisfy the man's massive harem, which was around 1000 women! The man was known as the King of Harems after all!

"Silly girl~~~ we are only just starting! After all, you seduced me so now let me relieve those desires through this delicious body of yours~~~" Marcus said as his hands stroked Carmilla's back, extremely positive goosebumps washed throughout her whole body…

'Well...I am fucked…' 

Before long, the Queen of Vampire's started receiving more of her new Master's affection. Getting railed through several different positions…

~~~~~~Later~~~~~~

When Artemis and Atalanta found Carmilla, Marcus was no longer there, and the Vampire Queen was in a state which is clinically called Sexual euphoria… Honestly, the pair wanted to figure out if it's even a clinical term or if Quinella was just messing with them.

Nonetheless, this only confirmed the fact that they need to double team to even think of gaining something from being fucked into a drooling mess.

Simply put, Artemis and Atalanta were thinking of trying to gain some control over Marcus through their bodies. It's not an unheard thing. While Atalanta wanted to do this so that her Master would treat her with more respect and not just a 'household cat'...

It would seem that it's something akin to a pipe dream. But, they were going to try either way. There is nothing else left after all...

"Umm… I apologise… but…" A new female voice started before suddenly stopping in its tracks. It was a young female vampire. Her eyes widened and she blushed hard seeing her Mistress fucked into unconsciousness.

"...I… was wondering… what is going to happen now? Our new Lord's armies have just returned to the airship and we have already started leaving Romania…" The girl nervously asked as she was in the presence of a Greek God.

"I assume your Mistress will be able to sort it out… after... well… she regains her consciousness. I have no idea what your Mistress was thinking while trying to seduce our Master. He is *very* capable in everything he does." Artemis said in an arrogant tone.

"...Please don't ask me. I have no idea. Mistress is usually much more… controlled... with such things…" The girl said with an embarrassed blush… what can she say when her Mistress is laying in bed with her body soaked in their new lord's seed…

This is embarrassing beyond anything she had experienced in her life… especially in the presence of such people… even though they were dressed as maids…

When someone has a Goddess for a maid one should know that this individual is extremely capable…

Yet, her Queen has somehow fallen into a trap. And got put in her place.

The younger vampire tried to understand how this happened. Why act so rashly?

"She has most likely fallen into the same trap I did…" The Goddess said with a sigh.

"She underestimated the fact that he was 'human'." The Chaste Huntress said with an eye roll. The way she said 'human' was extremely sarcastic to the point that it sounds like an old and boring joke to these females.

"I see… that most likely… my Queen usually is more cautious."

"Well, it doesn't matter anymore. Your Vampire faction is under our Master's care. Stay with your Queen and wait till she wakes up. Once she is up, call for Aurora. She is the A.I. of this place. I assume you know what an A.I is?"

"Y-Yes of course… I will do that." The younger Vampire respectfully nodded. She was flustered hearing that there is A.I. in this place! Just how advanced is this ship!? She did see those transformers… 

But, can this massive airship do something similar as well!?

"Good. We will see you later then."

After saying that, the pair of maids left. They were going to find their Master. Why? They have no idea, they just want to find him. Maybe earn some 'brownie points' as the other maids call it.

Or... just make… want... to get over this annoying feeling that this Vampire Queen...woman got to him before they did?

In other words, they were confused…

While the maids are gone, the younger vampire by the name of Elmenhilde Karnstein is looking around with more caution. Trying to understand how this place works… does this place truly have an A.I.?

"H-Hello?"

[Aren't you a curious little girl?] 

*Eep!*

Hearing a female voice coming straight from the walls, the vampire girl quickly jumped. She released a girl-ish squeak purely from shock…

~~~

Le Fay was sitting in a chair, reading a book. While her assignments are boring. She can use that time to read about psychology. She found the whole biological programming fascinating.

No wonder a certain ancestor of hers loved manipulating people… Well, hopefully, she doesn't end up in that rabbit hole... 

Deeply into her reading, she nearly jumped out of her chair when she saw polygons gather in a single place. She wasn't expecting for *her*  to appear in person just like that!

Before long, the blond maid saw 'Captain' Quinella in all of her glory. Because of the uniform she was wearing, her silver hair had some of a blue tint to it… it looked quite fascinating.

She is still trying to grasp how her Master created such a being. Starting from a simple A.I. which Le Fay was around to hear! The blond was even there when Aurora 2.0 was born!

And now it has this form…

[I did the reading on the logs. We are putting the girl into deep sleep until her soul can be healed from the side effects of using the cups] Quinella said, getting straight to the point.

"Side effects? The gear hurt its user?" Le Fay tried to process what she just heard.

[Yes. Because she has 3 cups at the same time, she received 3 times the amount of damage from a single use of the gear.] The Silver-haired assistant said while crossing her arms.

[No damaged person will meet our Master, are we clear? Put her into a deep sleep. Until I figure out a healing method, she is not to wake up.] After saying that she disappeared without warning.

The blonde looked at the fellow blond sleeping in the bed.

*Sigh*

"My apologies. Just following orders…"  She sighed and several magic circles appeared around her. The witch placed a simple sleeping curse on the Dhampir girl.

The girl won't be waking up until the curse is lifted by Le Fay.

~~~~~~Underworld, Grigori~~~~~~

The Governor-General was pacing back and forth in front of a blackboard. There were multiple reports pinned on it with several of his theories written down on it as well.

They were interconnected with each other. Some of them are marked as clues.

The Fallen Angel was doing something he never did before. And that is something similar to detective work.

He was able to find some ideas about who this new inventor is. An inventor who re-invented Sacred Gears not connected to Heaven System!!!

How does no one understand how monumental this is!? After learning about the Sitri Heiress having never-seen-before Sacred Gear which enhances her family magic, he went on a spending spree to learn more!

Only that there was very little to no Information. For some time that is…

Surely enough he pushed the devil council to reveal more and sure enough, Serafall herself gave some information to the devil council.

After having a chance to read some files, he learned just how utterly dangerous and talented this human was!

Azazel wanted to meet him immediately! But, there was no information on his location. So he went the long way and started putting clues together.

The more he learned, the more he believed that this human was the reincarnation of their old man. Genius in rune craft, artificer, engineering, barrier magic…

The signs were there. But the personality didn't match. Their old man was nuts in his perfections. This teenager was not.

And not only that but, he is also contracted to Serafall Leviathan. And the Satan was like his bodyguard in the literal sense. She is keeping the whole Devil Race at bay for him.

All the files around him are classified and only for the Satans eyes only. Meaning that Azazel can't ask any of his spies to get those files which are for the Satans. Only the information which is revealed for the council did he see.

Like two of the teen's adventures. Honestly, the fallen Angel is jealous and feeling quite inadequate. This teen has only been an inventor for six years and did more than the Fallen angel ever did in his quite long life…

He even has True Longinus, Annihilation Maker and Dimension Lost! Even Azazel never had a chance to get a Longinus himself!

Then… then… he got the latest news about this teen… He invaded Romania!

"Airships, transformers, Mandalorians, negation magic for the whole area, teleportation sealing off technology…

This teen... he already has a faction… *Sigh* Here goes my casual approach. I suppose asking for a meeting through Leviathan is the only way…"

Azazel read the report again. For a second he giggled lewdly. Another man of culture for a faction leader! Yes! The world is getting more and more interesting! Maybe… he will get to see the day when Gabriel falls? If something like that happens. Then he doesn't mind calling the boy the second coming of his father! 

"Truly… he already has my respect! Artemis in a maid uniform!?" He giggled lewdly again. Imagining the always extremely serious Goddess in a sexy maid uniform!

"He has style, that's for sure!"

~~~~~~Underworld, Lilith~~~~~~

Sirzechs massaged his temples. After reading the reports from his spies in Romania.

Marcus Goldman has transformers, Mandalorians, Airships as big as Human carrier ships. Except it's flying… the thing has twin massive cannons, most likely capable of bombardment from high air…

Not only that...but Goddess Artemis and her huntress are maids working for him? Or did he capture them? This is getting messy!

Thankfully, there was no connection between the devils and him when he did this high profile appearance. From the looks of it, he took the entire Vampire faction in a single swoop.

This one large mess. Thankfully the devil council washed their hands out of this. They don't want anything to do with him!

All Sirzechs can do is make sure Serafall and Latia Astaroth are nowhere near Marcus when he does stunts like that…

Oh, right, he can mess with people's perceptions, his soldiers can shoot holy energy, most, if not all, supernatural energies are useless around him…

Just as Ajuka has predicted, the genius inventor is extremely dangerous.

Especially for those who have something they want.

Well, thankfully, the Devils don't have Sacred Gears. And their family magic… Well, they only need to provide a scan, and he doesn't even need to scan, a simple showcase was enough.

Marcus recreated their Power of Destruction through nothing but watching Rias through that surveillance.

Simply put, Sirzechs is not all that worried about Marcus coming to the Underworld. He is more worried about the Devils' ending in some sort of crossfire…

'Hmm… I need to find a way to talk with him in person. An event of some sort?'  The Crimson Satan leaned into his seat and crossed his hands.

The only thing he is coming up with is Rias' Rating Game with Riser. But, the difficulty is to invite him…

'I need to talk with Serafall for this…'

~~~~~~Olympus~~~~~~

*"What did you just say!?"* 

A bolt of lightning slammed into the ground not far from Hermes who did some evasive manoeuvres dodging lightning bolts from the Master Bolt.

"I-I said…"

*"I heard what you said!"* Zeus roared with a pissed-off expression.

Aphrodite snorted with an amused look. She can't believe Artemis would end up as a human's maid! A *male* human maid!

While the other Gods like Ares could only laugh his ass off! Nonetheless, he was giddy hearing someone had created the Mandalorians! That alone brings nostalgia to him! He wanted to bless the human just for that!

He knows very well that the Mandolarians are based on his Spartans!

Now he wants to see them in action!

"Husband calm down! And let Hermes explain what is going on, properly !" Hera said with a sharp tone. Making Zeus deflate like a balloon when his wife spoke with that tone.

"O-Okay…" 

Both Hades and Poseidon barely controlled themselves and almost started laughing hearing how under his wife's foot the God-King himself is…

"A-As I was saying… Artemis...and her Lieutenant Atalanta were dressed as maids and they… did not look like they were ashamed or anything like that." Hermes mentioned this while trying not to look at his father's pissed off look.

"This means that she most likely was under some sort of conditions. Like a bet." Athena said sharply.

"She most likely got blinded by anger and challenged this genius inventor into some sort of challenge and lost." The Goddess of Wisdom said from her throne.

*Giggle*

"I can see that happening," Aphrodite said with a giggle. And Apollo just glared at her. His twin sister was just turned into a human's maid and she is joking like that!

"Most likely what happened. Otherwise, she would be struggling to escape. She is far too proud to be dressed like this." Poseidon said with a nod. He knows his niece's character far too well.

"While this is all good and all but Artemis is a maid to a human!" Zeus furiously said from his throne.

"A human who builds advanced technology years above anything other humans can do and according to the spies he has means to nullify magic and can cause hallucinations.

I propose I will go and figure out what is going on." Athena proposed with a serious tone.

"Very well. We will act if you do not return soon." Zeus said with a serious nod.

"Don't do anything rash. We know nothing of this new faction. We need to hear things from Artemis' point of view." Athena said seriously, they can't just charge in. They know nothing of his capacities.

Honestly, she wants to talk with him as well. She dearly misses smart people!

"Fine! Fine! I only want to smite that punk for putting a maid uniform on my daughter!" 

"We have no idea how his magic nullification works. It could be technique, invention, or even spell." Hephaestus said. 

He then looked at Hermes.

"Is there any other information on the equipment, the airship of this inventor?" The God of Blacksmith asked curiously.

"The airship has enormous wings made from energy, the weapons used by the soldiers shoot holy energy, the transformers apparently can shoot something similar to Power of Destruction used by Devils" Hermes said as he read through the report from one of his spies.

"I see… those energy wings sound similar to Sacred Gears Divine Dividing…" Hephaestus compared the energy wings between those two.

*Sigh*

"Once again something from *that* Pantheon…" Hades said with an annoyed sigh.

"Yes, the Spy compared those two… in his report. Only the difference is that one is a person and the other one is hundreds of metres long…" 

"And is there a reason why he invaded the Tepes faction in the first place?" The God of Seas asked the most important question. Why?

"The rumour was that Tepes faction had a powerful sacred gear and were thinking of doing some power grabs," Hermes explained.

Hades snorted again. It was those sacred gears again…

"I see… so that warehouse attack was him too… he claimed True Longinus. And now another powerful gear…" Apollo said from his throne.

"This human is getting powerful far too rapidly…" Hades said with a serious tone.

"I will investigate him and figure out the threat level," Athena said from her side.

Zeus just sighed. Why can't it be like old times? Just sit back and snipe people with his Master bolt?

~~~~~~Asgard~~~~~~

Unlike other Pantheons, the Norse was not touched by the genius inventor. But unlike them. The All-father has been watching the teen the longest of them all.

Odin noticed, a few years back, a sudden increase in magic. In the Baltic countries. He even sends his ravens to see what was going on there.

The problem was that the moment the ravens arrived, some sort of interference appeared.

His magic got cut off. Which means some sort of barrier is in place.

Such discovery is quite baffling because there was no indication of a barrier in place. Meaning the type of magic is similar to the surroundings making it quite seamless with nature.

Quite a smart disguise but it only works if the magic is not large which that place lost it a long ago. As of now, that place felt like a mountain of magic.

It reminded Odin of the time when Pantheons were empowered by their believers. The only thing which comes close to this radiance now is the Hindu Pantheon and, somewhat, the Shinto one.

Now, however, something else has happened… The inventor boy created something. Oh yes, he knew that it was an inventor boy.

He noticed him flying his inventions through the sea, each time it would be faster. More impressive from the last one.

This time, it was something enormous. A vessel of some sort through air. A ship? An airship? He felt it flying south. Towards Greeks? 

As the All-Father sensed a Greek God looking for something through Eastern Europe. Knowing the Angels, they won't go to do anything. Their territories are far too big and they are not that well-armed nowadays. For obvious reasons that their God is not around anymore. Oh, he knows. They tried to play it off but you can't dismiss the sudden lack of energy from a powerful deity.

This means that this Deity...most likely Artemis, provoked him and now he is going to collect his dues?

Well, that's what he thought until he got a report from. Romania.

The Chief God could only smile silly seeing this.

"Hehehe… it seems I will be having a good friend…" 

Some of the Valkyries could only sigh from disappointment. Their God became an old pervert…

While the other Valkyries continued to keep their poker face.

"Hmm… a gift I suppose?" He looked around. His eyes ended up on a pair of Valkyries.

"He is a healthy young man. And constantly spending time tinkering is not healthy. A break or two is needed."

"Umm… Lord… what are you planning? That teenage inventor is very dangerous… in mere few years, he had built a pantheon!" A blue-haired Valkyrie said with a serious tone. What she saw in the report is dangerous! Such progress in development is monstrous!

"Oh, he did build one. But he is a researcher and inventor. Do you think he is going to expand? We saw through the last few years he didn't expand beyond that small country.

He doesn't care about governing, managing…"

"H-How do you know he won't do that?" The Valkyrie asked with uncertainty.

"Please Bryn… you are asking *me* of all people? Was I mistaken to give the title of Brynhildr to you?" Odin asked with raised a eyebrow.

"N-No… it's just that his level of development is insane… I have no idea how he will develop further…" 

"Oh, he will develop. I do miss the times when countries used to have personalities. When it only takes one man to decide how the nation will progress. I do believe those days are coming back."

The Valkyries looked at the Chief God curiously. What is he talking about?

"Oh don't look at me like that. When a human who is one or two steps above others appears, the world changes… just look at the most recent history… we have Hitler and his madness. The world was not the same after him. And it was with French brat Napoleon who reshaped the world in a single generation.

Now? Now, this will be different, this is not one or two steps above simple humans. No, it's more than that. It took him around six years to advance to the point that he can attack a lesser Pantheon… create beings from science fiction and even produce life to some extent.

This… is going to be interesting. And me? I will be watching it all with fascination." The Chief God said with a happy tone while stroking his long white beard.

The report he read finally gave him insight into this human. Now, there is no need for him to be wary. No, Odin knows how humans like this inventor operate.

"My Lord… are you sure? Isn't he dangerous?" Brynhildr asked with confusion. This… she can't wrap her head around this…

"Oh, he is. Don't get me wrong. When he invaded Vampires he was fully prepared to end the whole faction in a single hour.

But, he is dangerous to his enemies. I am not his enemy. No, I am his friend. We are going to have a very friendly relationship with him." The one-eyed God said with a nod.

"Um? How?"

"You will see my dear, you will see…" Odin said with a nod as his one eye stayed on the text where it said that Goddess Artemis was spotted, dressed as a maid…

That moment The Norse God's lips slightly went up.

'This is going to be interesting…' 

~~~~~~Heaven~~~~~~

Michael knew, he knew that there was something there. In his territory no less.

He tried to ignore it. Oh, he did. There was no threat. No humans were hurt. But dark stuff was done.

Sure, he might have lost contact with the Churches in this small nation.

He might not be able to teleport there anymore. But, nothing happened...so, there is no reason for him to go there and investigate it.

That however… his ignoring didn't last long as he started losing Sacred Gears…

The system has started picking up that he lost True Longinus, Dimension Lost, Annihilation Maker, and now he lost Sephiroth Graal…

This is getting out of hand…

*Sigh*

"These...reports… He is making people of some sort… There was no news that he was robbing souls from the underworld or our Heaven or any heaven in fact.

It's like he is making them the same way our father did."

"Are you saying he is the reincarnation of our Father?" Uriel said with a baffled tone.

"The signs are there. His ability to make Sacred Gears, his ability to remove them from people, his ability as an artificer. And of course his ability to create beings. All of those are the abilities of our Father." Michael said while massaging his forehead.

"But?" Raphael said with raised eyebrows seeing that the Seraph is struggling to continue.

"But, I believe that he might not have his memories. He is most likely building his own faction because that is what our Father did his whole life. He has an urge to do so. Same with the defences of his place. As well as the single-minded goal of making gears." 

"I see… this does make sense. I assume you want him to be secured?" Uriel was persuaded to a certain extent that this teenage boy is the reincarnation of their father.

"Don't be ridiculous. Have you seen the report and what he did to Vampires! He unleashed hell on them! His faction wiped the Tepes Faction in less than an hour!" Raphael said with a serious tone.

"Yes… that's another sign that he might be our Father. His understanding of energies is unparalleled…" Michael said as he got reminded about that part.

"Indeed. But we need more details about this! There was no sign that he had Holy Energy! And of course his obsession with maids! The man somehow managed to make Goddess Artemis dress up as a maid!" Raphael said with a thoughtful look.

This was strange. There is alot of proof that the man might be the reincarnation of their Father. But, at the same time, there are many signs that he might not be at all!

Nonetheless, it is hard to believe that a human could have this much talent in Artefact creation, beings creation, energy manipulation.

These are signs that he doesn't have a simple background! They need more details!

While the three males were discussing this. The only female in the group was spacing out and thinking about what Michael just said.

This Marcus Goldman may be the reincarnation of their Father!? She needs to meet him in person!
