As Zero and Yoko kept talking Zero looked at Yoko and unbeknownst to him, a smile appeared on his face. Yoko noticed Zero’s smile and smiled back causing Zero’s heart to beat. After becoming a demigod Zero’s heart rarely beat like it did when he was still mortal. Even as a vampire his heart still beat but now that he was a demi-god it was silent. Although it was just 1 heartbeat it made Zero feel strange as he looked at Yoko.
Feeling a strange heat envelope his body Zero tried to stand up to leave when he heard a voice in his head say, ‘Where are you going?’
When Zero heard the voice his mind became hazy but it strangely felt clear at the same time. It was an interesting feeling but Zero could not pay much attention to it because by the time he realized it he was standing in front of Yoko. Yoko looked up at Zero with a smile causing the spark of desire within Zero to grow into a flame that felt like it would burn him if not released.
‘Come on why try to restrain your desires. Take control of them. They can’t overwhelm you so embrace them.’
Zero felt the strange feeling grow stronger when he leaned over and kissed Yoko on the lips. Yoko didn’t reject the kiss and even open her lips to allow Zero's tongue to enter her mouth. Zero felt like he was underwater a feeling that he had heard people felt be they were drunk.
As they continued to kiss Zero noticed that they were surrounded by a pink-colored energy. Zero knew what this energy was since he devoured it previously. This was the sexual energy that succubi fed on and Zero and Yoko were surrounded by a massive amount of it. Zero could tell who had generated this energy but all knew were that they were swimming in it. Soon he noticed Yoko’s eyes were filled with lust and had already started to glow. Although he couldn’t see this own eyes Zero knew his eyes were also glowing due to the purple glow on Yoko’s face.
‘Give in to your desire and feast on what is in front of you. Stop holding back and take what you deserve.’
Zero reach over and caressed Yoko’s with his hand as the other hand held her by the waist pulling her in closer. As Zero was indulging in his desire Yoko’s pregnant stomach touched Zero and suddenly a realization occurred to him and Zero suddenly came to his senses and pulled his body back. Yoko still overcome with desire gave a flirtatious look as she tried to reach out to grab him when Zero teleported away.

Zero teleported without a destination in mind so he ended up landing in the sea somewhere in the world. Zero’s mind was blank as he floated to the surface of the sea.
“What’s wrong with me? I understood what I was doing but I didn’t feel the need to stop myself until it was almost too late.” said Zero as he questioned himself
‘Why stop yourself? If you want something then you should take it and if someone stands in your way then they will either bow down or die. Everything exists simply for you to play around with it as you please. Whether its Yoko, Nova, or Nyx there’s no reason to care for them just think of yourself.’
Zero heard the voice echoing in his head giving him excuses to behave as he pleased without concern from consequences. Zero knew logically that he couldn’t behave like this but the temptation of the voice rang throughout his mind. As he continued to float the voice kept repeating these words trying to tempt him causing Zero to shout, “Shut up! You’re right I can do as I please and that includes not listening to you! This is my life and I will do as I want! I don’t know what you are but if you try to control me again then I will destroy you even if I have to kill myself to do so!”
As if responding to Zero's loud declaration the voice quieted down before laughing and saying, “Very well let’s see what you can do. I look forward to it.”
After those words, the hazy yet clear feeling disappeared and Zero felt his mind no longer willing to go to the extremes. He looked up and wondered how he could so easily think of killing his family without a reason. These extreme moods and thoughts were likely a result of his Prideful One skill just as Yoko has trouble controlling her lust due to her sin seed of lust.
‘Looks like deadly sin skills are more dangerous than I thought. It affects me this much although the system suppressed it then when Yoko fully awakens her this might become dangerous. I have to figure something out about this. I’ll ask the system when it comes back online.’
Zero sighed as he teleported himself back to his hotel bathroom. Zero dispelled his suit of shadows and grabbed a towel to dry himself off. Once he was done then donned his suit again and headed back down to the lobby only to find it empty. It looked like Yoko had also awoken from her desire state and returned to her room.
Zero cleaned up the area before returning to his room. He still had a day left before his meeting with Hikaru, Hammer, and Julius. Zero also planned to invite Mina over for this meeting after giving it some more thought. Since he really didn’t need to sleep and wasn’t in the mood to lay down Zero teleported to the Netherelam to visit Dahlia and Azalea.
When he arrived at the temple the twins still looked haggard as they were expanding their operation to fully deal with the souls of this world. They were seated on their thrones taking a break from the constant work when Zero appeared. With nothing to do Zero spent an hour chatting with the 2 before heading over to his own dimension.
Once in his dimension Zero began practicing his abilities 1 by 1 to familiarize himself with them. A weakness of his was that he didn’t know the best way to use his abilities and in times of crisis, he would forget to use certain abilities. Zero spent the next few hours working on familiarizing himself with his skills pyrokinesis and electrokinesis.
