Potential II
Right after introducing the possible rewards that the contestants could yearn for Richter introduced a system of points to motivate them to become even stronger.
"Ask me anything you want and as long as you have enough points, I'll give it to you~" Those were the words of the Golden Dragon God, almighty capable of achieving anything.
"A-Anything?" Nyx asked just for confirmation, aware that the words of a Dragon couldn't be taken back.
"Anything... you could ask me for any of the inheritances, you could ask me for the life of someone in this world, you could ask me for resources or even a weapon. Anything you ask me I'll give to you as long as you have enough points. However, depending on what you ask me, my opinion of you may irrevocably change".
"How so?" Seekvaira inquired, a bit aware of what he meant, just for clarification.
"If you request with points that I kill someone for you... you will lose all of my respect, only weaklings do that... and I hate weaklings. If there is someone you must kill, do it yourself after becoming strong enough".
*GULP!*
"If I ask for a sacred sword" Kiba then asked.
"I'll give it to you".
"If I ask you to kill someone..." Despite the warning Azrael asked once again, attracting everyone's gaze, 'Who exactly does she want to kill?'.
"That person will die as long as they're not a part of the fallen god faction or the underworld as that would interfere with the war. I can't go against my words and I said I'd not interfere" Richter declared.
"If I ask for oppai..." Issei salivated and dragged gazes of disgust towards his body.
"..."
"What is Oppai?" Richter tilted his head in confusion, he couldn't accept that request when he didn't even know what 'Oppai' was. The poor Golden Dragon didn't know he already has more oppai than anyone else in this world.
"Please ignore him, Richter-sama... in any case. Could I dare to ask a question?" Amaterasu stepped forward, trying to get attention away from the perverted Red Dragon Emperor.
"What is it, Amaterasu?".
"If I ask to be a part of your peerage, is that possible?"
!!!
it seemed like no one thought about asking this question but all of the ladies present perked their ears for an answer.
"It is..." His answer was simple but it brought disbelief to males and females alike, more females than males. As far as they knew, all of the members of his peerage were females... it was his own little exclusive harem.
"N-No way..." Venelana licked her lips and gaze the Golden Dragon a gaze of desire, perhaps initially she believed she could achieve nothing more than a mere fling or affair, but now... the same could be said for Rias who was looking at her mother, recalling the conversation they had before and the 'plan'.
"A part of Dragon-sama's peerage".
"Master is missing three pawns, two towers and a queen" Grayfia coughed and clarified.
"He is not missing a Queen, but you all can give it a shot, whoever defeats me, can be his queen" Jie Yuan affirmed, popping up out of literal nothingness. With her words laid down, who dared challenge her? The answer was Nyx.
'Not yet, she's too strong' The Goddess of the Night wasn't stupid, upon sensing the threat coming from Jie Yuan's glare that begged for a challenge, she backed off.
Another one that sighed in quick surrendering was Yasaka whose tail wiggled in anxiety... she wished to be the queen, but the competition was astounding.
"I heard Richter-sama has two Queens, Grayfia-sama is one of them and the other..." Nyx stated, just to confirm and sure enough Jie Yuan clarified her doubts.
"I'm the contestant to be the Queen" Stated proudly the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor.
"So am I~" Giggled the Creation Goddess of Life much to the Devil Emperor's shock who didn't think she'd be greedy enough to crave this position as well when her connection with Richter was already so deep.
"Dear don't be so surprised, if the chance is there, why wouldn't I take it?"
"You'd have to fight me".
"Fight it is~"
*RUMBLE!!*
The lifelong rivalry of those goddesses couldn't be stopped with mere words, Richter had to cough for them to back off albeit temporarily. For them, the love of the Golden Dragon and the position in his heart wasn't a joking matter.
"I'll also be daddy's queen!~" Ni Jie cheered and threw herself on her daddy's lap much to everyone's awkwardness who still couldn't place her innocent mentality together with her buxom body of a full-grown goddess. One could even say she looked more sexy than her mother.
Richter smiled wrily and patted her head.
"How much would it cost me to obtain one of those fruits, Richter-sama?"
"A million points".
"Million... and how are the points going to be distributed?"
"Each month you have a total of sixteen opportunities to make points. Points obtained as a team aren't equally distributed, we will judge who gets more or less points depending on your performance. I can watch everything in this world, so I'll know. The person with the highest score in the team will get a hundred points during a group test. Depending on your performance during your training I may also give you points myself separately".
He created several golden cards and distributed them to all of them. In those cards there was the number '0'.
"The same doesn't apply during the monthly event against the Dragon Team. The team that manages to defeat any of us will obtain a million points right away. These will be directly given to the person who contributes the most".
"A-Anything, you say... if I wanted you to destroy a city, would you do it?~" Nyx was starting to ask very ominous questions that made everyone twitch, all while holding that typical innocent smile of hers.
"Depending on the city, it could cost you about five hundred thousand points, I'd have Grayfia do it".
"M-Master..." Grayfia deadpanned, she didn't think it was fair to give them that privilege, but Richter thought otherwise.
"What, aren't things interesting this way?~" He laughed, with this much freedom, they'd surely work harder to achieve points during their training period in the Eternal Heaven Pearl.
"Ambitions crossing in a mix of wicked paths. What did you want to say, Nyx?"
"How much would it take for me to become your woman, no... I want to be your favourite, your number one. How many?~"
!!!
'This witch...!' Her words immediately made Annette's sword rest against her neck, but she dared not go any further, just like Nyx expected. Her words were a direct challenge to all Golden Apostles and acolytes.
"That won't happen, Nyx... you're taking matters too far, do you think I don't dare kill you right now?".
"You don't, Annette. This is a neutral land. Could it be that you're one to be easily triggered by words?"
"Tch!" Annette had to remove her sword reluctantly, 'It doesn't matter... once we're out of here I'll have your head'.
Getting in this position and watching all the aggrieved glances of his women, Richter sighed, "I don't know... I'll think about it and tell you later if that can be achieved with points or not, for now... the quick answer is no".
"I see, that's pity~ if I could become your favourite... I'd have put every single one of my molecules to work hard to attain those points, Richter-sama... I'd do anything for you".
"Words will get you nowhere".
"Nevertheless, if you told me that this could be achieved, I'm sure all of us would get so motivated, isn't that right, girls?"
Nyx turned around to leave her gaze drifting between each one of the older ladies in the groups. The boys were all awkward with even Riser twitching his lips at how blatantly ignored they were being. Aside from them though there were some whose interests were clear such as Asia Argento who instead was looking at Issei or Natsume Minagawa who had Tobio in her sights.
"Hehe~ you can't take that back... come Azrael".
Like always; Nyx departed back to her training having left chaos in her wake and aware that the next time she was asked to train with her team it wasn't going to be easy, but that was precisely what she wanted.
'If they all come at us... Azrael and I will become stronger quickly, that's all there is to it. With my wish, I'll bring Ingvild in and then the plan can be set into motion~'.
