56

Standing in the middle of a large glowing orange magic circle I practice emptying my mind of everything and focusing on nothing. this is easier than I thought, learning territory helped on this I would imagine. while I am concentrating on nothing the magic circle begins to work as a tear slides down my face and into a cup of water. when a bell rings I am awakened and know that the spell should have finished and open my eyes to look at the cup.

The cup is now filled with a light red liquid and I dip a finger in it before tasting it, it tastes like water, to be honest, but I guess I would need a non-Phenex to get hurt and drink some to see if it works. a magic circle lights up and out steps Athena.

"Hey, Athena you still got that dagger I made you." I don't take my eyes off the liquid gold, if this works as it should then I will be the richest in the demon world and human worlds with just this, forget other businesses. Phenex tears put house Phenex on the map so to speak, and here it will do the same so long as it functions the same.

"I got it right here, do you need it." she pulls it off her belt as I turn in her direction.

"Can you cut your palm real quick... wait didn't you heal faster after the blood marriage thing?" she might not be the best test subject now that I think about it. checking her stat sheet I don't see anything out of the ordinary so I wave my concern away and proceed.

"I can cut myself but why? and I don't remember I didn't pay attention to healing at the time." she pulls the blade and cuts her palm causing a good amount of blood to flow onto my floors. quickly I dip my finger back in the cup and then push it into her mouth. Athena glows pink for a second and the blood stops, I wipe her hand clean and the wound is gone.

"Novahh." I feel her wet tongue on my finger and pull it back realizing I could have just wiped the Phenex tear on the wound instead. her spit hasn't killed me yet so no big deal, I lean in and steal a kiss from the confused woman.

"Thanks for that, now I am going to be the richest for sure!" she smiles and wraps me in a hug.

"And what is that stuff?" I pour half into a small little bottle that should be enough for twenty portions if the show's bottles are accurate. I set the bottle and a note on a slip with a circle on it before they both disappear, sending some to Catherine to see what she thinks about it and what she could get from selling them. I mean the black phoenix family known for healing will likely be able to market the tears the best in my mind.

"A super healing potion that can even reattach limbs and heal a hole going clean through a body the size of a fist in seconds. going to start marketing them through Catherine, once I get back later from Milf snatching Kia's mom then I will make some for everyone important. this little bottle is coming with me though in case I need to use them for anything." I pocket the rest in its own little bottle and double-check my supplies.

"Can you give me some to give to my dad? he will be coming to the dark moon soon anyway since he wants to meet you." I stop and realize I could probably make a whole bathtub of the stuff if I really wanted to and then equipped some troops in the army with the sole purpose of healing.

"Yea I can give him some to use, he is losing a daughter to me so might as well compensate him a bit." she hits my shoulder playfully as I finish mentally preparing myself.

"Thanks, Nova." I kiss her once more before backing up.

"No problem, I will be back in a while after I grab Kia's mom." she waves as I teleport away.

---------

I arrive in a house that I set up as an in-between point for my runners to make deliveries. I give them enough money to buy a shop and then they live in and work out of as well as teleport back when they need more merchandise. it's efficient and serves the purpose of getting my products out there, we even made it into the bloody empire and everyone usually sells out in a single day. a few people have had bandit problems but I have Dodo handle it. he has reached great demon king and tears through weak mobs like the ones hitting my stores and it sets an example to not come back. he also is super happy with the work since I reward him, which just inspires him to go out and work harder. I think being a devil massively changed his personality, that or it just raised his intelligence or something of that nature. Either way, Nova enterprises is up and running and slowly spreading, and as time passes, we will move from small limited supplied shops to massive outlets that stay stocked.

That's for the future though, for now, I need to find a Targaryen- I mean a succubus that happens to have Targaryen features. Kia was practically vibrating with excitement when I left this morning and wanted to come but I convinced her I got this. they have to keep their features hidden and pretend to be someone else after I break the shackles but other than that they will be able to live together as mom and daughter once more.

After waiting enough time for the blood fall spy's to investigate the Mellon family mansion and see that the realm king fruit is gone I decided we are moving in. I got three people living with me after today and although I love the house Shea gave me it's time to upgrade to something with room to grow. plus the frozen cave underneath it can be used for storing things now that no one will be coming poking around, I could have set up defenses but then they might send someone with some real bite to investigate and that would be a problem if I was gone. I would rather they see for themselves it got taken by someone and give up than keep trying to come back. so today Freya will be moving in with us all into a new house, Athena's dad is coming right on time to see her in person on her birthday and we will host our first party then, or else I would try to get everyone together tonight.

Snapping out of my musing I arrive at the compound where Sabrina lives, Freya should be here somewhere and it will be simple to get in. I mean I have the best stealth item known in the setting, so if I can take a single woman from a lightly guarded estate, something would be wrong with me.

- Freya POV -

"Do you understand everything I have told you?" me and the other maids all nod and bow to Sabrina, she is expecting some guests and is being metaconules for a good impression on them. "good, I will be in my room."

I quickly get to work doing the hardest jobs, if I don't do them then they won't get done right and Sabrina will blame me. the other maids know she has a bone to pick with me and use it to slack off and cause problems for me to vent their anger and to make themselves look better.

I round the corner to head into the bathroom to make sure it's spotless when I bump into a brick wall, or what felt like a brick wall but when I look up there is nothing standing there. right, when I am about to panic thinking an assassin is here for someone and I will most likely be silenced I hear a voice.

"You wouldn't happen to be Freya would you? you're the only silver-headed maid I see and you also seem pretty bruised and banged up. so I am leaning on you being her, you don't look like Kia if I am being honest." this person knows Kia?

"Is my daughter ok? why are you here looking for me?" I hope nothing happened to my baby, my eyes already sting thinking the worst.

"She is fine, I am here to bring you back with me. before you say something about the shackles just know I will be getting rid of them. I had a plan to get rid of them but seeing the state you are in gives me motivation for a new plan." he can get rid of the shackles? and he wants to take me away, but why?

"Why?" a man appears Infront of me and offers me his hand but I am stuck still with worry, he doesn't waste any time for me to pull myself together and picks me up.

"Because I want to, where is Sabrina?"

- Nova POV -

Freya looks like she went through a beat down and her hands are crippled yet she is kept doing manual labor. I set her down on her feet as I pull out my Phenex tears and drop some on her hands and even one in her mouth after wrangling it open. she shudders as she glows pink and then all her bruises and scars are gone, her fingers are straight once more and she opens and closes them while looking at them in disbelieve.

"What was that stuff?" her voice sounds clear now and even has a slightly sultry tone to it, definitely Kia's mom with the way it tingles my ears.

"Some top-shelf stuff, can you show me where Sabrina is?" don't want to tell her what I am about to do since it may affect her restrictions and she won't be able to lead me. she doesn't even bother to ask as she holds her hands together and leads me deeper into the house.

We arrive Infront of a door and I hold a hand up for her to wait as I go in alone. I spot a golden-haired and-eyed woman laying on a bed, she looks a lot like Izzy which makes me a bit sick. I push on reminding myself they're not the same person, I warp to the bed as she notices me and goes alert.

She tries to dodge but I grab her leg and drag her back to me before dropping a fist in her gut hard enough to rupture some organs. she may be a demon emperor but my strength is overlord her body hunches over as she screams voicelessly in pain.

"You're probably wondering why I did that but you don't need the answer to that just yet, first I have a gift for you. but to accept the gift you have to die and sorry not sorry I will enjoy wringing your neck." I grab her throat and do the deed even as she resists and once she goes limp I drop her back on the bed and try not to feel too bad about it knowing she is a vile person. maybe I would pity her if I let her talk but I didn't allow that.

Pulling out a black bishop piece I decide it's not too big of a waste to use a mutant piece on her since she is a demon emperor and it would be nice to get her to overlord faster. after she reincarnates as a slave unable to disobey me I sit in a chair and call Freya in, there are a lot of grievances Freya needs to vent out and I just so happen to have some Phenex tears and even some working tear ducts if that's not enough.

--------------------------------

After someone posted C2 saying I should of used her instead of Kiyohime for Krobelus I almost spit my drink. I flipped a coin to pick between the two, and then the next day someone brought her up almost like a sign. and she kind of a old waifu, my favorite type of waifu to be honest so I wanted to see if anyone liked the idea of trading to C2.

Kiyohime

C2

when I get on tomorrow I will check this and if multiple people want to swap I will, if not then I will just delete this and pretend nothing happened.
