In front of Han stood two women, who had appeared at one of the gates to the city. Both of them wore hooded robes, likely to conceal who they were. He was surprised that two of the demons that he saw in that dungeon was in front of him, instead of fighting him.
"Master, we should kill them!" Brittany yelled out. He had noticed that she had appeared very aggravated upon learning who they were.
"Brittany, I understand that you have fought with them, but we should give them a chance to talk." He sighed, feeling mixed about Brittany's reaction.
"But, Master, they have attacked you! How could we allow those who tried to harm you to just stand in front of us?" Brittany pleaded. She looked like she would jump at them if given the opportunity, making the two women look nervous though they tried to hide it.
"Master, I also agree with Brittany." Anacolis chimed in. She was very calm and collected when compared to Brittany, though he could see signs of bloodlust leaking out of her.
When Brittany and Anacolis had laid eyes on the two women, they had lashed out at them with the intent to kill them. It was only thanks to Helania who had stopped their attacks and prevent those women from turning into corpses. Sensing that there was some kind of history between them, Han asked and learned that this woman, Melidoristria was the one who led the army of demons. He also learned that Anacolis and Aracia had tried to kill them, instead of informing Brittany. Brittany had blamed the two of them for letting her escape, and this was what caused the tension.
Wanting them to be calm and relax, Han altered his throne to accommodate the two of them on his throne. As he sat down, both Brittany and Anacolis were laying against him with his arms around their shoulders. This did a lot to calm them down. Though they behaved very differently, with Brittany wanting to be spoiled and Anacolis acting like a cool beauty, he knew that they were happy. As he looked at the two demon women, Han enjoyed feeling Anacolis's naked skin and the shape of Brittany's body through her clothing.
Even with Brittany's outburst, she had not left her position of laying against him. How she threw out such killing intent, but still wanting his attention, gave him an interesting feeling. Anacolis seemed to focus more on his hand and how his finger traced her breasts. Her agreement seemed to be more of an afterthought, instead of something she honestly thought.
He pressed his lips against Brittany's hair and whispered, "You are being rude to our guest. My baby is a good girl, right?"
"Yes, Master." She dreamily said, turning her body so it could be closer to his.
He turned his head towards the two women standing in front of him. "I apologize for the treatment you have received. As long as I wish it, you will be safe here."
The two of them bowed slightly, saying, "we are grateful for your kindness in allowing us time to speak with you."
"Allow us to introduce ourselves again. I am Levistria, and she is Melidoristria. We are former members of the Demon Council of 10, though I guess you can now call it the Demons Council of 8." Levistria said, chuckling at the end.
"It is nice to meet the two of you. I am known by many names, but you can address me as Yi." Han replied. "Though I am curious why you call yourselves 'former members'."
The two looked at one another, likely reconfirming their conviction to appearing before him. "You honor us, but we would prefer addressing you by a title that befits your power, your Majesty. We are no longer members for a simple reason. The two of us were ordered to lay waste to this city. "
Upon hearing the last part, his creations became tense and looked at the two women with hostility.
"Settle down everyone. Let them continue." Han ordered before anything happened.
Levistria smoothed her robes before continuing. "As we said, we are former members. After receiving this order, we understood that it was likely we would either die by your hand or by two members that were sent to monitor us." Her face displayed how she felt by the betrayal. "Though we understand there is no reason for you to do this, we have come to ask for sanctuary."
"You would ask this of those you wished to kill?" Queen asked in an amused tone.
Levistria sighed and answered, "what would you have us do? To fight you would be death, and we know this. If we were to escape, the council would kill us, too. Either way, we are facing our demise." The tears in her eyes indicated her feelings on this matter.
"Why should it be our responsibility to take care of you? We do not even know if you would betray us at some unexpected moment." Queen countered.
"If we were to betray you, it would just mean our end. We have no illusions about the strength that each of you possesses. The lamia herself would be able to kill the two of us, with us not putting up much of a resistance. Though we may be demons, we are not fools." She said the last part with venom.
"As Queen has pointed out, I do not understand what reason there is to shelter the two of you. As you said, my creations are strong enough to destroy you by themselves. What usefulness do the two of you bring?" Han asked them bluntly.
Being silent the entire time, Melidoristria spoke up, "Your Majesty, though we are nothing in your eyes, we would devote ourselves to you. We will follow any order you have for us, and will serve you loyally."
"Unless that order is one you dislike." Han quietly said.
Both of them looked down in shame at how quickly he pointed out their apparent betrayal to their kind.
"But..." Han began to say, which caused both of them to look up. "I do understand the motivation to come here. Being able to talk to you, instead of fighting you is always preferable." Han became quiet as he deliberated about the matter. "For now, I will tentatively accept your plea for sanctuary. Do understand the position you are in." He emphasized the last part.
"As you have heard, our Master has deemed them under his protection. I will not have any of you shaming our Master, by acting against the spirit of his words." Helania informed them. She especially glanced at the two women laying against Han.
Brittany looked up at Han and said, "Brittany is a good girl, Master."
Anacolis took Han's hand and kissed the back of his hand. "Master, I only wish to serve your divine self."
His creation bowed to him, saying, "by your will, we obey."
-------
Levistria knocked on the door to Melidoristria's room. The door slowly opened to reveal Melisoristria. Her face was a little depressed as she welcomed Legistria into her room.
"What is the matter?" Levistria asked.
"Are we doing the right thing? I do not like this feeling of betraying our comrades, who we have known for thousands of years. I still do not believe that Dominaster would have killed us." Melidoristria spoke in a saddened voice.
Placing a hand on Melidoristria's cheek, Levistria lovingly said, "you are such a loyal person, which is why I care for you. The laws that exist in your beliefs are straight and true as an arrow, but it is this reason why I fear for you."
Melidoristria was silent, as she thought about Levistria's words. She placed a hand on top of Levistria's hand and tried to smile. "As always, you are right. I do not mean to sound ungrateful. Having you here is reassuring."
"Let us go around and see what this place looks like," Levistria suggested, trying to brighten the mood.
Taking hold of Melidoristria's hand, Levistria headed out of their room. As they left the room, the two of them ran into a woman who was also heading out. "Sorry, we did not look where we were going." Levistria apologized to the woman.
"No worries. I am also at fault for not paying attention." The woman laughed, finding the situation amusing. "Are the two of you new to Felicitas?" The woman asked.
Levistria could feel Melidoristria's hand tense from the woman's question. Using her thumb, Levistria gently caressed Melidoristira's hand to let her know that there was nothing to fear. "Yes. How did you know?" She asked the woman.
"The two of you have the same look I had when I first arrived here. I am still relatively new to living in this city." The woman giggled. Realizing something, the woman said, "I am sorry for being so rude. My name is Val."
"Hello, Val. I am Levistria, and she is Melidoristria," she said.
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
"If you do not mind, I can guide you around the city?" Val offered them.
Thinking it a wise thing to get acquainted with those living in the city, Levistria smiled at her and nodded her head. "We would be happy to have someone guiding us around this city."
When they reached the bottom of the living quarters, Val said, "as you probably noticed, this entire area is dedicated towards the living quarters for people living in Felicitas. We call this place the Housing District."
"It is odd seeing how this place is organized," She remarked to Val.
Val laughed at the comment and nodded her head. "I admit that it was something I had to get used to, but after living here for a time, I found it made sense. The city has a natural rhythm to it, so you can meet people as they are heading off to their professions." Val waved to a family, who looked to be enjoying the day with their kids.
"The humans here look very different from those living in other cities," Melidoristria remarked.
Levistria agreed with Melidoristria's assessment. Humans and other intelligent creatures had always had the look of struggle on their faces, aside from those who were placed in higher positions. Seeing so many of them appear to be happy and missing the usual appearance of despair and hopelessness was odd.
"Is there anywhere you would like to visit first?" Val asked them. "The city is divided into five districts: the Supply District, Education District, Shopping District, Housing district (where we currently are), and Social Living and Resource District."
"I am interested in the Shopping District," Levistria answered. From her experience, a civilization could be measured by the power of its trading capabilities. If a culture could not bring in goods for its people to use, then it would eventually starve itself of growth.
As they walked through the housing district, there were more and more families and individuals who appeared to be moving with purpose. Even those who were socializing appeared to look fulfilled in their lives, not appearing lazy like those in other cities who talked to avoid work.
Leaving the district, the number of people drastically increased. "This is the central location, where many administrative activities take place. As you can see, this gets pretty busy as people go from one district to another. I sometimes enjoy sitting at the fountains and watch people, as I enjoy my lunch." Val commented.
They continued into the Shopping District, seeing people coming and going out of the various stores and businesses. "I do not think I have seen a busier market than here," Melidoristria said in wonder.
"Yes. It appears that this place is doing very well." Levistria commented.

Sally watched as the people she was commanded to watch head into the Shopping District. "Targets are heading into the shopping district," She reported back to Command.
"Acknowledged, Agent-in-Training Sally. Continue to follow protocol for monitoring new arrivals." A voice commanded.
"Understood, Command." She said.
As she opened a shadow portal to the nearby building, she jumped into and emerged on the other side. "Status," She asked as she moved to the edge of the building.
"Targets are still walking," Kim's voice was heard in her ear.
Due to her abilities being weakened during the day, she was sometimes unable to keep an eye on targets. Luckily, the team she was in helped one another to cover weaknesses in each person's ability.
"What do you think they are like?" Kate asked the team.
"They are probably like everyone else who moves into the city. We are fortunate that there are so many new people coming into Felicitas so that we can gain more experience in covert engagements." Ashley commented.
"Make sure that you guys stay focused. Even if this is something we have done a hundred times, underestimating a target can lead to trouble." Sally reprimanded her team. It was still weird to discipline her friends that she'd hung out with so often, but fortunately, everyone agreed that Sally was better suited for such a position.
"Yes, Team Leader," Ashley responded.
"Sorry, Team Leader," Kate said.
"Sorry, Team Leader," Kim echoed.
"Remember that Command never gives us additional information so that we always stay on our toes. For all we know they are powerful mages, so make sure that you guys do not let your presence leak out. You do not want to be reprimanded by Lady Anacolis and Lady Aracia, right?" Sally reminded them.
Each of her teammates was silent as they remembered how a knife appeared at their necks and a voice whisper, "you are dead." The Jungle Sisters were not forgiving towards those they caught, which ended with the entire team running laps in the training dimensions.
Sally shivered at the idea of running hours inside of the desert dimension, which would shift temperatures randomly at random intervals. One minute they would be running in blistering hot temperatures and the next they would be freezing.
"I can not believe they had us catch our food, even after running the entire time, and spending an entire week inside that place," Ashley spoke up, as she remembered the terrible memories.
"At least we have not gotten caught by our targets," Sally thought to herself. She remembered watching the images of spies they caught inside of the city and imagined it could be their corpses other people like her would see.
Being trained as an Agent was something Sally greatly enjoyed and hoped that she would be allowed to travel around the world. Her instructors talked about how they would be creating the largest intelligence network the world had ever seen, and it would require them to form it. Being a part of something new was such a fantastic thing, and each day she thanked the Master of the City for such an opportunity. She hoped that someday she would be able to meet him, kneeling in front of him as he gave her an award.
It had been almost a week since they have been observing the two people. In the off chance that one of them split away from the other, Sally was tasked with reporting the event so Command could inform the Support Team to track the other one. As the Leading Team, it was Sally's responsibility with keeping everyone informed.
As she was looking around her position, she spotted a little movement and focusing on the object Sally realized that it was another team who was, likely, tracking a different target. "Command, I have spotted another Team. Can you confirm?" She asked Command.
There was a pause and Command said, "congratulations, Team 30! A point will be assigned to you."
The object that turned out to be Nel, who stopped and looked around. When he spotted Sally, who had halted her cloaking skill, he hand signaled, "Nice job. You got lucky this time, but I will get you back." Nel added a unique gesture to let her know that it was said in good fun.
"Not with your skills you won't" she teased him. Sally watched as he slowly faded away, this time eliminating all traces of his presence.
"Congrats, Sally!" Kim said.
"It means that we are one step closer to being Agents!" Ashley voiced happily.
"We should go into the Stronghold and celebrate," Kate suggested.
"That sounds like a great idea," Sally agreed. "Status report." She said to remind everyone about what they were here for.
"Targets are heading into a dining area," Kim reported back.
"I want Kim and Kate to follow the targets and observe from the ceiling. Follow the usual pattern of placing yourselves diagonally from one another. Ashley will be on the ground and observe them from the outside. I will be on the rooftops." Sally ordered, going with the strategy they learned in training. "Command, targets are entering a dining facility. We are preparing to monitor them." She communicated.
"Support Team will be informed," Command replied.
As her team was beginning to get into position, there was a bright light that appeared in the sky. Sally quickly turned her head and saw a beam of energy heading towards the city. Before it was able to attack the city, the beam hit the automated defenses. In addition to the first attack, there were four more that appeared making five beams of energy hitting the city. Across the surface of the shield, Sally noticed rainbows flashing over the shield's surface.
"Command! We have a situation! Felicitas is under attack!" She yelled into the communication device inside her helmet. "Team, continue to observe targets! Do not let them out of your sight!" She commanded her team, letting them know that she was handling what needed to be handled but reminding them that they had a mission.
"Yes, Team Leader!" They responded in unison.
"Team Leader Sally, you are to hand over your targets to the Support Team and report to the nearest gate with your team. Further instructions will be given once you complete your assignment."
"Command, please provide current status," She asked.
"Current status is Caution," Command answered.
Sally looked at the beams, which were still hitting the shield. "Team, we have a new assignment. Track my position and head towards the nearest gate!" She ordered her team as she jumped into her shadow. "Who would be crazy enough to attack this city?" She asked herself in confusion.
------
Han enjoyed hearing the moans from both Brittany and Anacolis as he felt Brittany's pussy tighten around him, while Anacolis was passionately kissing him. He enjoyed connecting with the two for most of the day.
There was a knock on his door, and when he looked back, he could see Helania standing there. "Master, there is an incident. It appears that the Demon Council has decided to attack us."
As he pulled out of Brittany, he could hear her pleas for him to continue, her hair was disheveled, her smile, along with her eyes looking upwards and unfocused, showed how absorbed she was with what Han was doing. "What are our guests currently doing?" He asked Helania. There was a warm feeling encapsulating his penis. Feeling the forked tongue, he realized it was Anacolis who was sucking on him. He stroked her head, as he enjoyed the sensation. The feeling of the vacuum created by her mouth as she moved her head made him moan.
"They are currently dining within the Shopping District. We have had them under surveillance the moment they left the Stronghold. The reports confirm that they were not aware of this event." Helania informed him.
Han felt waves of pleasure as he felt himself cum, the liquid squirting out into Anacolis's mouth. Her tongue stroked the head of his penis as she cleaned off every bit of his cum. She moaned in pleasure, as she looked up at him. He brushed back her hair and looked into her beautiful jade colored eyes.
"No fair." Brittany lazily said, as she slowly regained her thinking.
"Blame yourself, for focusing on your own pleasure instead of our Master's," Anacolis teased Brittany, as she moved away from his penis with a mixture of her saliva and his cum connecting her mouth to the tip.
Han left the two of them on the bed, as he put on some clothes. "Considering they came to greet me, I think it may be a good idea to return the favor. Have everyone meet me above the city."
Han shifted himself from the room to floating above the city. In front of him were the remaining members of the Council. Below them was a massive demonic army.
"Generally, I asked for notice before there is a large number of people immigrating into my city." He casually said.
"Those are brave words from someone that is going to be eliminated." one of the demons said to him.
Han looked around with a confused expression.
"What are you doing?!" The same demon demanded.
"I was just looking around for the people who were going to eliminate me." He voiced as if it was the most obvious thing.
"You little...," the demon looked like he was going to attack him when the leader stopped him.
"Do not be a fool, Ulister," the leader said.
"Yes, Dominaster," Ulister petulantly answered.
"He seems to be rather easy to bait," Han remarked.
"And you are rather good at pointing out the obvious," Dominaster answered back dryly.
Behind Han, his creations appeared along with the two female demons. "Master, we have arrived as you have ordered," Helania said.
"It appears as though Ulistria and Venalistria were correct about the two of you betraying us," Dominaster observed.
"What would you have us do? Wait for you to dispose of us?" Levistria demanded.
"It would have been the honorable act." One of the male demons retorted.
"Unlike you, I do not let my pride dictate rational thought, Yelanester!" she countered.
"Enough of this chatter," Dominaster stated and all eight of them lifted their arms and fired off an energy blast.
"Levistria!" Melidoristria screamed.
The attack was bright enough to rival the sun as it surged towards its target. But before it was able to land, it struck against a barrier. Even with the eight of the strongest demons attacking, the shield had no difficulties with defending against the attack.
"Attacking without warning is very inconsiderate," Han stated as the attack died down. The demons were staring at him, confused by the way things turned out. "Oh! I am sorry, was I supposed to be impressed by that?" Han mocked.
"Master, I believe that you were." Helania politely informed him.
Han looked embarrassed, and turned towards Helania, "you are not supposed to mention that. Performance Anxiety is a very serious issue."
"I thought their attack was rather cute," Minatoria commented, blowing the demons a kiss and giving them a wink. "There is something about people trying to look powerful that is rather adorable."
"Minatoria, I think that comment is worse than what Helania said." Han scolded.
When Han turned back, he saw how angry Dominaster looked at being humiliated. "There is nothing to be ashamed of. I am sure that there are many people are more impressive that I am so I can relate to these feelings of inadequacies, but I made sure to find people who accept me for who I am." Han tried to reassure the demons, causing several of them to get angry.
"Try laughing at this!" Ulister called out to him, as he flew towards Han. At the last minute, Ulister vanished and appeared on Han's left side. "I bet you can not dodge this!" He laughed as he fired an energy bolt.
The menu system popped up and asked if he needed a barrier. Confirming, Han enjoyed watching the pretty lights as the blast interacted with the shield.
[Master, are you alright?!] He heard Brittany ask.
[There is no need to worry about me. I am just enjoying the light show.] Han reassured her.
[Those insects!] Brittany raged.
[There is no need. I think I will have fun with them for a little bit.] Han stopped Brittany from acting out her anger.
As the blast died down, Han turned his head and grinned at Ulister's horrified expression.
"This is impossible," Ulister's voice trembled.
Han turned his body and kicked Ulister in the stomach, smiling at how Ulister gasped as all the air left his lungs. Just like in an anime, Han watched as Ulister's body flew in a straight line towards the ground. There was a massive crash as dirt was flung up into the air, creating a small cloud and obscuring the hole created.
"For beings that rule this world, I am very disappointed. I was expecting more creativity, instead of something childishly boring." Han said.
"I would be more careful if I was you," Dominaster replied. The remaining members all aimed at him, creating the same bolt of energy.
------
As soon as the energy blast was shot out, Ulistria and Venalistria hid in the shadow of the attack. The both of them grinned as they imagined the look on his face when they used one of their stealth attacks.
"Now!" Ulistria and Venalistria called out to everyone when they were in position.
The attack died, and before he could react, Venalistria appeared in front of him and encircled her arms around his head and placed her lips on top of his. She gave him a deep and sensual kiss, then allowed for Ulistria to also kiss him sensually. Moving away from him, they both smiled widely, confident in their victory.
"Now you will obey our every command, as our combined poison goes into your mind. How does it feel, knowing you were foolish enough to underestimate..." Before Venalistria could finish her sentence, she felt a strange sensation. Looking at the man in front of her, she didn't understand why she tried to attack him. He was the most handsome man she had laid eyes on, and all she could think about answering his every commands and desire. She looked over at Ulistria and saw that the feelings was mutual.
The two of them looked at Han and breathed "Master, command us." Both of them could feel themselves becoming wet.
"What is the meaning of this, Ulistria and Venalistria! What is the matter with the both of you? Did the attack work or not?!" Dominaster demanded the two of them to answer.
They both looked at Dominaster and wondered, "why should we listen to that man."
Then the sound of their Master made them turn towards him. "It was bright to have the two of them hide half of the poison that when combined enslaves the target. I am assuming that they both have an antidote for when they use such an attack? Too bad that it will not work, considering I changed the poison into my own." Looking at them, their Master said, "get behind the others, my slaves." The way he devilishly grinned at them made them sigh.
-----
Han enjoyed the way those demon women looked at him. It made Brittany and Selestra look normal in comparison. He made a mental note to have fun with them later.
"It seems like you are running low on members," Han commented. Looking down at the demonic army, he mentioned to his creations. How about all of you go have fun with our guests." When he noticed his slaves moving, he ordered, "You two stay there, like good slaves."
"I am definitely going to have fun with those two." Han thought to himself when he saw their expressions.
His creations quickly headed down to the army below, and small explosions could be seen. He also noticed a void appear and the undead begin to pour out.
"Looks like Queen is having fun destroying your precious army," Han chuckled at Dominaster. "Do not worry; I will give you my full attention and then you can collect the corpses on the way out."
Dominaster looked angry and then grinned. "You may be able to stop me, but you are going to fail in the end. Like all things, you will fall before the might of the Overflow. Just for you, we have increased the number to be released. You will not be dealing with the small fry that lingers on this world!" He laughed at Han.
Dominaster made a portal appear behind him, and he disappeared. Below, the demon army began to fade slowly, likely due to space magic. It was likely weaker than what his creations used, considering how slowly the army retreated.
The sky began to change colors, mimicking the sky he saw in the past. When he looked around, there was a massive teardrop that was falling from the sky.
Seeing this sight reminded him of the monsters crawling on top of one another, using each other to form a bridge to this world. The sight impressed him, though he imagine that others would find it horrifying.
"It has begun." Han quietly said as he watched it crash onto the ground far off in the distance. A corner of his lips curled into a grin.
