"Reiko!"
A voice breaks me from my thoughts as the door to the throne room bursts open. A blood-covered Kampe is panting there still in her human form. I frown as I inspect her body for wounds and she notices my gaze while grinning.
"Don't worry this isn't my blood. After you went in I had some unexpected visitors try to take me away. They've all, ah, satisfied my hunger. Anyways what happened? I felt a crazy strong aura in there just now."
"I more or less absorbed Hades."
At my words, her eyes widen. She then breaks out into a wide grin as she began to wholeheartedly laugh.
"For fuck's sake, so you're telling me you're stronger than an Olympian!"
I only nod in response. I turn back to the system which has two new notifications.
[Host has acquired Helm of Darkness - Divine artifact!]
I quickly appraise the item.
Helm of Darkness: Divine
Forged by the Elder Cyclopes to help in the Titan War, the Helm of Darkness has tasted the essence of nearly all beings from titans to mortals. While wearing it, the user cannot be touched, seen, or heard, and can radiate fear so intense that it can easily drive a person insane or stop their heart. It is rumored to be the reason why most creatures fear the dark.
Abilities:
[Transparency]: Provides invisibility and intangibility. The user can also melt into the shadows and pass through walls
[Fear-mongering]: All beings will feel 80% more fear towards the user
This will be pretty useful for me if I wanted to assassinate any gods. After my first experience with Hades, I know better than to directly challenge an Olympian in their domain... I open the other notification and look at it.
[As a reward for his first kill of a God, the host has received the limited skill - Creation Magic!]
Creation Magic - Limited
For a limited use of seven (7) times, the host will be allowed to create anything they can imagine under the rank of divine.
Oh. I have an idea for [Creation Magic] but choose to leave [Helm of Darkness] in the Death subdimension. As the new owner of the Death Domain, I've also received ownership over the subdimension itself. While Hades had used it as an astral prison, I've come up with a better idea to use it. Yep, a storage system. Testing it with the helm, I focus mana into the helm and will it into the subdimension. The helm disappears and I smile at this. I will the helm back and it materializes once again. My very own dimensional storage. How useful. I ignore Kampe's tsukkomi as she once again marvels at my unknown magic. I walk over towards one of the shattered windows in the room. Now it's time for my next task.
As I expected, the death of Hades has triggered a ferocious response. Most of the creatures in the Underworld, asides from the souls themselves, were subordinates of Hades. Now, all of them are rushing towards the last known location of their boss. The quiet fields surrounding the castle have lit up into an inferno. Thousands of beasts are converging on us and I use my [Sense] to look for any strong beings. Unfortunately, the most powerful are several minor gods that lived near the boundaries of Hades' realm or were allied with him. Leading this hideous horde was a monster with the distinct aura of a god. It had the head and legs of a goat, although with ram-like horns, a bloated body, bat-like wings, and a long tail. As it led the monsters up to the gates of the castle, I peeked out of the window and activated my aura.
My divinity sweeps across the Underworld. All the monsters nervously look towards the window and their fear is clearly seen from their expressions. Kampe looks towards me as she gets ready to fight but I just shake my head. It would be a pain to have to gather subordinates on my own. Why not take advantage of these former servants of Hades and force them into submission?
The goat monster-god trembles and clears his throat.
"*cough* We would like to, ah, ask whether or not Sir Hades is with you. All of us felt his presence suddenly disappear and were wondering what happened?"
Unconsciously he slightly nods his head in a bow before retreating back. Using my godly aura, I maximize the vocal effects of my voice to reach all the monsters in front of me.
"LISTEN HERE! UNFORTUNATELY, YOUR FORMER LORD HAS DIED. AS YOUR NEW KING, I HEREBY PROCLAIM THE END OF HADES'S REIGN."
The monsters only gape in stunned silence. Some wretched demon coughs and I feel my face heat up. Oi... Don't tell me I bombed my first public speech...Shaking my head, I beckon the monster-god to come to me. He looks surprised at being singled out and nervously enters the castle. It takes a while for him to make his way to the throne room and politely knock on the busted door.
"Enter."
He bows and quickly introduces himself.

"My Lord, Orcus at your service."
"Divinity?"
"Pardon?"
"Your divinity. What is it?"
"Ah, I oversaw the Fields of Punishment under the former lord. My divinity is Punishment."
"Okay Orcus. It'll take me too long to say this to the rest of the demons and former servants of Hades but I'm planning on heading to the surface soon."
At my mention of the surface, he strangely begins to get excited.
"Are you planning on waging a war my lord? While we are sadly outnumbered at the moment, I believe with your strength we can surely successfully invade it..."
I frown and clear up the misunderstanding.
"No, no, no. I might stir things up in Olympus but I'm not planning on conquering the surface. As I was saying, I'll be leaving soon and I'm planning on appointing several leaders in my absence. With the practices of the Underworld, everything will stay the same as it was. All that's changed is the person at the top. Can I entrust you to communicate this information to everyone else?"
"Your wish is my command, my lord."
"Good. I'll see to it that you take care of any dissonance amongst the demons."
Though disappointed at my rejection of the surface invasion, Orcus bows once more and heads out of the room. A short while later, the floor rumbles as the monsters begin to leave the vicinity of the castle. Looks like Orcus got everyone to go back to their duties. Now, it's time to test the new skill I received...
I move to a larger room and ask Kampe to stay out. I don't mind her seeing my attempts but I have a feeling her presence would be distracting. I'd rather get this right than have to waste one of my seven chances. I activate [Creation Magic] and begin imagining. After seeing the sheer amount of subordinates Hades had, I've realized that I'll need my own subordinates to rule over them while I'm gone. [Creation Magic] will be perfect for shaping the ideal servant. I try to picture a large, terrifying demon spawned from Tartarus. That will be a good substitute for myself. They could be demon lords, humu. I finalize the template adding ever-lasting loyalty and admiration to their personalities. This will prevent any possible rebellions or dissatisfaction from them and allow me to fully trust them with anything.
Unfortunately, as I finalize the template, my previous life's memories cloud my concentration. Instead of a hideous, awe-inspring monster, there's the distinct shape of a...busty woman? I blink and open my mouth in confusion as mana begins to swirl. Yikes! Did the [Creation Magic] just use that as a template? Oh fuck...
I watch in horror the mana materializes into dark-red flames. Similar to the egg sacs of Tartarus, the floor boils into seven pods inside the flames. One by one, seven figures emerge from the flames, taking their first breaths. It's just like I thought. The only thing nightmarish about them is their fucking breast sizes, holy Styx. I can only sigh at the sight of the seven demons all of them blatantly female with tantalizing bodies.
The first is a demon with long blonde hair, clad in silver armor. She has angelic feathery wings and slightly curled horns. Her thigh-high high-heeled boots clack on the floor as she kneels reverently. Bowing, she introduces herself.
"Lucifer, Demon Lord of Pride greets Master."
The second is a beautiful demon with voluptuous breasts and bright pink hair. Her pointed ears twitch as she stretches her small black wings from the holes of her armor. Her green eyes sparkle as she lowers her head similar to Lucifer.
"Asmodeus, Demon Lord of Lust greets Master."
The third has waist-length purple hair with a side ponytail on the right side of her head. Her ears are also pointed and a long tail gently brushes against the floor. Despite having come from the fire, her blue-striped arm warmers and leg-warmers don't burn. Her large breasts threaten to spill out of her tied white shirt. She moves to kneel but accidentally trips and manages to fall at my feet. Her cute butt sticks up in the air as she groans in pain. Biting her tongue, she shyly introduces herself.
"L-l-leviathan, Demon Lord of Envy greets Master."
With a red face, she rushes off to stand with Asmodeus and Lucifer. With a chuckle, the fourth demon steps up to me. She has long blonde hair sweeping down her back and two huge horns pointing downwards. Two pairs of red and black wings sprout from the small of her back. She is the tallest among the summons almost reaching my current height at 180 cm. She flashes her heart logo black thong at me and grins. In a mature and elegant voice contrasting her lewd outfit, she speaks.
"Mammon, Demon Lord of Greed greets Master ufufufu."
The next demon yawns as she slowly shambles towards me. She has dark skin and long silver hair sweeping over half her face. Her eyes are slightly closed as if she is stifling a yawn. Rather than armor, she has on a long red and white one-piece dress with thigh slits. She lifts her dress up and curtsies before me while staring at me with her droopy eyes.
"*yawn* Belphegor, Demon Lord of Sloth greets Master."
In a trance, she stumbles her way to the others. I hear a distinct tongue clicking and look to see the sixth demon. She glares at Belphegor before strutting and giving me a deep 90º bow. She has waist-length crimson hair and two long horns on the sides of her head. She wears a long red flowing cape, a red bra, black gloves, and red high-heeled boots. Her boots have red metal wings on the sides that occasionally flutter. Flames spark and and burn along her cape but she pays it no attention.
"Satan, Demon Lord of Wrath apologizes for the misconduct of Belphegor. I will accept any punishment you see fit in her stead."
I turn towards her and see the expectant perverted look on her face. Don't tell me that she wants to get punished?
"I have yet to see anything that deserves punishment. Belphegor will not be punished..."
Disappointed, she tries to walk away with her head held high but fails to completely mask the slouch in her gait. Shaking my head at the new pervert in my ranks, I look to the final demon. She has long blue hair tied in a pony-tail with two bangs in the middle of her forehead. Two long, slender horns protrude from her skull. She has an elegant air, wearing a black and red robe with armholes. Her slanted eyes look sharply towards me and she bows deeply. I see a familiar hungry look in her eyes and grin as she introduces herself in a soft voice.
"Beelzebub, Demon Lord of Gluttony greets Master."
With that, they all stand to the side awaiting my next orders. After Beelzebub is formed I hear the notification, [Skill - Creation Magic has been used up! Skill will no longer be usable by the host!]. I glance at the seven women standing (or slouching in Belphegor's case) before me. I can't lie, they're rather...cute. I push that thought to the back of my head. A woman's body is only a distraction for the soul...Or I say a dozen times in my head as I look at anywhere but their lush breasts. To take my mind off those wonder - disgusting sacs of fat, I try to think of a name for their group. Oh? They all said they were the demon lords or something...
Why not the Seven Deadly Sins?
––––––
A.N. typical Japanese virgin mc blushing at breasts... plus he has nyx already...
it's like you thought. theyre based off the seven sins from the show Seven Mortal Sins. no, they're not directly summoned from their world. these are the mc's original creations. i just decided to template the appearances off them (this means personalities will not be the same). thanks for reading!
