A large city belonging to the Kingdom of Portia.
The candidate who had just been announced as the Acting Pope by the King didn't have much of a smile on his face.
"May my Lord grant blessings..."
Standing on the high platform of the church, facing the dense crowd below.
He felt increasingly bored.
Ascending to this position hadn't let him know more things.
Those big shots who came from nowhere still treated him like an ant.
He did care about the position of Pope, but he cared more about whether he could gain cognition of this world through this position.
But regrettably.
'You did well, this is a blessing.'
'...'
The big shots still kept silent. Giving him the so-called blessing.
What exactly was that power?
The people living on this continent, in this country, in their eyes... what were they?
What was in the distance outside?
The Acting Pope had given up finding clues through the big shots. He felt that everyone lived in a pathetic slaughterhouse. Useful ones were picked out to be used; useless ones lived in a daze like the numb crowd below.
There was only one way.
Get the slime. Whether it was the corpse of the slime after losing control, or the living slime.
Use that thing as a catalyst to gain a long life. With enough time, maybe he could figure out what the world where the big shots were, the place where they cast their gazes, was really like. He pitied everyone he saw equally.
Feeling that everyone was so ignorant. Not caring at all about what kind of world they lived in, nor caring about being used as material. Losing all ability to think for a few gold and silver coins.
"The Lord will forgive everyone's sins..."
The Acting Pope was no longer interested in the formalized ceremony, only wanting to end this boring activity early.
Go directly to the island by ship.
In the meeting organized by the big shots, he knew no external forces came.
Then maybe the slime lost control. Her ability after losing control was very strong; could three capable Cardinal Bishops solve it? Even if they couldn't solve it, they should be able to make the slime completely turn into what he wanted.
This was something the big shots explicitly expressed interest in and wanted. But he didn't intend to hand it over so honestly; he wanted to spy on the truth from it.
[Yesterday, you learned the whereabouts of the Acting Pope through Lilith's companions.]
[You thoroughly satisfied Miss Slime.]
[The current live experience has ended.]
[Do you want to continue with Regular Simulation or Free Simulation?]
Of course he had to satisfy her.
Miss Slime clearly showed unease. If he didn't even do this small thing, wouldn't he be purely treating Miss Slime as a tool for venting lust?
Silas felt he was a good person. Although he was walking on thin ice. He somewhat hoped Miss Slime would appear in reality, but also felt... Rose and Elisa, whom he barely managed to settle, would explode.
[You chose Regular Simulation.]
[In the morning, you took Lilith and the others to buy raw meat separately. You let them handle it themselves, while you cut the raw meat into strips for Miss Slime.]
[Clearly, your unconscious behavior aroused their desire to peek again.]
[Breakfast was right in front of them, but no one ate; they all watched helplessly as you fed Miss Slime. Perhaps associating it with something, you found that including Lilith and her sister, their thighs were twisting around, and their cheeks also became rosy.]
Ah?
He just fed Miss Slime breakfast normally, didn't pick up a fork to feed her mouthful by mouthful. Was it necessary?
[After breakfast. Lilith was asked to stay in the hotel with a few companions who were less skilled and physically weaker. They didn't have much money, so you generously threw out a bag of gold coins. These were all obtained from Madam Melina, and you also took a lot from the pirate ship later; you don't lack money.]
[After settling all this. You found that the reappearing... Lilith's sister, Miss Anna, intentionally covered the defect on her cheek polluted by a small patch of slime with a black veil. She also changed into clean, better-fitting clothes. Her originally messy hair was meticulously combed into a low ponytail. Like this, although her breasts weren't as big as Miss Slime's, she was well-proportioned in all aspects, and her face, clean and with the defect hidden, became moving.]
[Not only her, you found her other companions also carefully changed their outfits and bathed. Someone even used perfume, one more fragrant than the other.]
[Anna told you that all their remaining money was used to buy outfits. Originally thought unnecessary, but seeing you and Miss Slime... suddenly felt they were women too. Even if it's for reproduction, pleasing reproduction is good. And it doesn't rule out that a companion might really fall for you. While speaking, Miss Anna already hooked your arm, her breasts unreservedly pressing against your arm.]
Who knew showing tentacles would turn out like this?
Might as well have fought and trained them. Silas found it hard to handle soft approaches.
Damn it!
Daring to use tits to corrupt his Dao heart. Think about Miss Slime's papayas to calm down.
[You said goodbye to Miss Slime.]
[You left the port city with Anna and a few capable partners around her.]
[Your goal is simple: go together to investigate the major cities Anna circled, where the Acting Pope is most likely to inspect.]
[You think separate actions might be more efficient. But Anna sternly refused, saying assassinating the Acting Pope is her business; what you and the companions you brought need to do is either clean up the battlefield together after her success, or immediately come back to take the companions left in the hotel to escape after failure. Special explosives were tied to her waist, seemingly to perish together with the Acting Pope when there was no other way.]
[You didn't refute again.]
[However, finding Miss Anna very resistant to taking human carriages and insisting on walking, you cleverly changed the concept, saying robbing a carriage also counts as revenge. Successfully changed from walking to having a carriage to sit in.]
Otherwise, relying purely on two legs, let alone the ten days mentioned to Miss Slime.
Couldn't return in half a month.
[The carriage was crowded; you were sandwiched by buttocks and breasts on both sides. You found they would be shy, and their faces would get redder and redder.]
[Miss Anna seemed to have accepted the fact of the vehicle called human, thinking you were right. And different from others, she started boldly looking at your thing.]
[While blushing, she introduced to her companions that this is the tool for reproducing offspring. The harder it is, the better you think they are. More ambiguously explained that using your thing to insert into the butt counts as a complete reproduction process. Obviously, she has no experience, probably all from book knowledge.]
[She also realized, seemingly hoping you, who had done it with Miss Slime, would personally take off your pants and explain to her companions.]
[...]
Damn.
Really treating him as a reproduction tool?
But it wasn't right either. These people were really all virgins. And really felt that a separate race would be established in the future, willing to be done by him...
[You brushed it off casually. Indicate that finding the Acting Pope is more important.]
[Third day.]
[You arrived at the place closest to the port city. But heard no news about the Acting Pope visiting.]
[...]
[Fifth day.]
[You arrived at a more distant city.]
[Luckily, as Miss Anna said, the Acting Pope was standing on the church's high platform, delivering a series of declarations. Some civilians below dared not look up as if revering a god, while others looked up numbly.]
[You didn't act rashly.]
[Chose to wait until nightfall to sneak near the heavily guarded cathedral.]
[You are certain that the Acting Pope didn't come out after delivering the declaration, still remaining inside. And indeed, as Miss Anna said, there were no tricky Cardinal Archbishops around him.]
Speaking of which.
Miss Anna and these people choosing revenge was partly brought about by him killing those Cardinal Archbishops?
How could he have thought at the time that killing them would lead to so many women craving his body appearing?
[Miss Anna has already infiltrated. You and her companions remained outside the church.]
[You decided to...]
[Important Choice Triggered]
[Option 1: Go in and blow up the Acting Pope.]
[Option 2: Watch the changes quietly; maybe you can know what strength the Acting Pope has through Miss Anna.]
[Engaging Free Simulation.]
Theoretically, choosing the second one is the best.
Because looking at the Acting Pope in the church with X-Ray vision, Silas couldn't see anything strange at all. Completely ignorant of the opponent's ability.
However.
[You chose Option 1.]
As a player, he wouldn't treat his allies like Japanese soldiers.
Isn't it good for everyone to live?
"Lord Silas?"
Seeing Silas stand up, the other women left here immediately spoke anxiously, "Sister Anna said our task is to stay here... you are important, nothing can go wrong."
"You should have seen it too."
Silas revealed the tentacle derived from his right hand, "My strength is okay. Even if I can't win, I can bring Miss Anna out."
"But..."
"Anyway, impossible to let women rush to the front while I really wait here."
"..."
They had no ability to persuade the tough Silas.
Looked at each other.
"D-did you hear? He really treats us as women..."
Someone unconsciously touched the somewhat terrifying scar on her neck polluted by slime.
"Knew it long ago! Who would be so... um, knowing the body is slime, yet carefully cutting meat slices for her. Couldn't see any disdain for us eating raw meat at all."
"But! Didn't Sister Anna say we should wait with her? He went in..."
"Already felt Sister Anna was too dictatorial; how can it be her business alone? We were all persecuted by the Church. My family died because of the Church... I want to go too!"
"Then who stays here? Must have one person, right?"
"You stay here. If we all die, you go back and take them away."
"Eh? Why me?"
"You run fast, not easy to be caught."
"Wait a minute! I'm scared alone!"
"..."
Originally three women left here, now only one remained.
