The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 234: Brief conversation with Velvet

"Let me see if I understood what you said," Velvet says, sitting in a chair with her legs crossed and wearing a cute little dress that I had picked out for her.

The way she sits and speaks is elegant and arrogant at the same time, which creates a somewhat funny image since she is quite short.

"You are the current Demon King, you are the daughter of the Goddess of the Abyss, and you literally created the universe we’re in and only brought me to life to make Akari abandon humanity so she doesn’t become inconvenient for you?" Velvet summarizes our conversation.

I had a brief conversation with her, telling her a little about my plans for war against humanity, the total war that will happen, and other things, as well as introducing myself properly.

"Yes, that’s the gist of it," I say in response to what she said. I simply summarized some recent events for her and talked about my kingdom.

"...Hmm...you are truly frightening, I didn’t know you could revive someone using the title, and you are also quite strong and apparently a goddess, I guess I don’t have much choice, do I?" She speaks with resignation.

"Yes, you don’t have much choice," It’s a fact that she has no choice, she can’t even leave my universe since her body is not suitable for that exchange.

"Okay, I guess it doesn’t matter much if I can have Akari with me, I just hope Akari is completely fine when she comes here, I can’t wait to see how she turned out."

"You really love her, don’t you? Know that she has aged like fine wine, she has some really nice big boobs that look delicious to squeeze and bite," I say with mild interest.

"Yes, she’s always had wonderful breasts...at first I just took Akari as a student because she had talent and it seemed fun, but while for me it was just for fun, for Akari it was something special."

"And she slowly stole my heart until the day I thought about abandoning her and realized I couldn’t do it, although it’s more sentimental and not just because she’s fucking hot!"

"Her being hot, beautiful, and having a great body is just one of the positive points that came with her."

"...But I don’t want to talk more about this, Pandora, it’s personal and honestly I don’t feel comfortable with you, I hope you understand," Velvet speaks in a way that makes it even more obvious that she has a strange way of looking at me.

"Velvet, I’ll bring Akari here tomorrow, you can learn the rules from my dear inhabitants, as long as you follow the rules you can do whatever you want and enjoy Akari’s presence," I change the subject.

"...Velvet, I have a question, why do all the Demon Kings end up abandoning my mother?" This is something I’m curious about, as shortly after I was born, I had a conversation with Elena who said that almost all the Demon Kings abandoned my mother.

But I’ve never really understood why they do this, I don’t see any reason for them to abandon my mother.

"..." Velvet looks at me with discomfort, and with this question, I think I understand why the atmosphere is strange between us.

"Velvet, I may be a Daughter of the Abyss, but I won’t do anything to you, don’t worry about that," I think she thinks I’m going to do something to her because of my mother, but it’s a fact that I won’t do anything.

If my mother didn’t care that they abandoned her, then it’s not me who should do something or seek justice for something that’s already been resolved.

"Really?" Velvet asks, surprised.

"Yes, I don’t care much about that," It’s a fact that this is not something that needs my attention, anyway, I’ll hardly see Velvet most of the time.

"...It’s because we’re just being used...no Demon King likes that feeling, the Goddess of the Abyss doesn’t care about us Demon Kings, we’re like puppets to help her."

"And in the end, it’s all about her, we don’t like that, we don’t like the feeling of being just a puppet without strings that is used to achieve something for another being."

"Since our birth, we haven’t had a choice, she chose our destiny and destroyed our freedom by making us Demon Kings, it’s undeniable that there are benefits, but the weight and responsibility that comes with it is bad."

"Is that all?" I’m surprised, it’s so simple, in the end, it’s all about a tiny, infinitesimal freedom, it happens that they who have never been weak and never suffered for it end up not seeing the blessing that this strength and authority is.

Having a pre-established purpose is nothing compared to being weak and humiliated all the time, if the Demon Kings understood what it’s like to be weak, hated, and have no one by your side having to struggle, they would see the enormous gift of being a Demon King.

Being a Demon King gives you power, wealth, authority, love from a large number of demons, respect, material goods, and many other things, you gain everything to use as you wish.

It may not be what will make you happy, but you can use it to achieve your happiness, for those who have suffered, gaining these things would be incredible, but since they have never suffered before, they don’t understand the blessing they’ve gained.

"...You may not understand, Pandora, but no one likes to be just a deliberately manipulated puppet," She speaks as if my reaction were strange, but there’s no point in discussing this with her, Velvet can believe what she wants, it won’t change anything for me.

I’ve already had this conversation with my mother, and hearing Velvet say this only makes me proud, since my mother said she loves me and showed me affection, showing that I’m not just a puppet without strings like the others.

"For now, I’ll stay here with you, Velvet, I’ll only go to get Akari tomorrow, so how about you tell me things about magic, as an older Demon King, you must have good tips," I change the subject again.

There’s no point in continuing to talk about this, I’ve already found the answer I wanted to know.

"Hmm...I can teach you a thing or two, but as a succubus, I can teach you more about sex than about common magic."

"Hehehe, sex then? What can you teach me?"I knew this girl would be interesting.

"You know, Pandora, I have nothing against you, and you have nothing against me, if you brought me to life just to be with Akari, I can happily teach you how to use your mana and aura to drug, poison, or incite lust in your targets."

"It’s a very useful technique, both for sex and for affecting large groups of enemies."

"How would that work?" I question with interest, I already have some abilities like that that I plan to use in the war, but having more of them is not bad, the more options the better.

"To begin with, mana greatly influences the world, and if you use your mana, you can alter the properties of the ambient mana, basically it comes down to using your own mana to make the environment act as you want."

"Succubi do this almost instinctively, passively increasing their charm and also inciting lust in those nearby, being able to excite others just by approaching or touching, even without using magic or ability."

"But that’s just the beginning! You can poison others with mana, cause illusions, fatigue, tiredness, and other things, because mana is the basis of the existence of almost everything."

"And as such, it has enormous effects on living beings, and if you learn to use it well, you can do incredible things! I’ll experiment on you and show the use, I’m much weaker, but this requires more technique than raw power."

"Okay, and what will you do?" I’m very confident in my resistance to the effects of mana, I remember when I was thrown into the dead mana forest and bad things happened to me because of the mana.

"How about I use my specialty? I have very little mana, but I bet I can make you reach orgasm by touching parts that don’t normally generate pleasure."

"Challenge accepted," Her choice is obvious, without much mana for her to teach me, it would be difficult, so it’s easier to show directly and have me try to copy, so I focus on copying everything she does.

She strikes a cute pose, leaning her hips back and blowing me a kiss while winking, but I don’t focus on the cute movement, but on the mana that is spreading.

She’s strange, almost deformed compared to the ambient mana in my universe, soon she approaches and sits on my lap while licking my neck.

I feel aroused, but what matters is the mana I see infiltrating my skin along with the ambient mana that I end up passively absorbing and affecting me.

’It’s like a poison in the air, by absorbing the ambient mana I’m affecting myself alone’ It’s like a poison that’s in the air and by breathing, you’re affected, the difference is that it’s not in the air and is entering my body through absorption.

"Did you notice?" She asks.

"Yes, it’s very efficient, but I didn’t understand how you’re doing this with the environment," Normally, altering the ambient mana is not possible, as it is like the mana’s signature.

"I’m replacing the ambient mana, I’m destroying the mana that’s in the environment and replacing it with my altered one, if you just release mana into the air without making general changes, it changes and becomes the ambient mana after a few seconds."

"You just need to release your mana into the air normally, and when it’s already out of your body and close to becoming ambient mana, you slightly change its composition to something you want," Velvet explains, giving me an idea of what to do.

"Like this," I notice her mana being released, and soon she licks my cheek, making my whole body tremble with pleasure and I reach an orgasm, which surprises me.

"Hehehe, I won, Pandora," She gets off my lap with a little smile, even being much weaker, she really managed to affect me.

"That was...enlightening," I say, somewhat embarrassed, I didn’t expect to lose like that.

"Don’t be upset, I’m a high-level succubus, it’s natural that you lost, even though I don’t have much power, all this I’ve shown depends on technique, and soon you’ll be able to replicate it."

"So let’s continue with these lessons," I say with interest.
