500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

My eyes fluttered open, and I found myself lying on the floor with Virgo, and Cestia crouched beside me. They both looked apprehensive.

"Galio! What happened?" Virgo asked anxiously, her gaze searching my face for any sign of distress.

Cestia echoed her concern. "You just suddenly collapsed!"

I blinked until the light stopped being so blinding, then looked between the girls. Neither knew about Truth, and I didn\'t want to tell them about him right now. There were already enough things going on, and I had to start planning for tonight.

"I\'m fine," I reassured them, slowly sitting up with their help. "Just a brief moment of disorientation, I guess. Nothing to worry about."

Though I could tell, they weren\'t entirely convinced, Virgo and Cestia decided not to press the issue further. Instead, they helped me to my feet and refocused on the task.

"Alright," I said, trying to regain my composure. "We need to plan for this alliance with Harissa and Erisa now. As you know, I\'ve made... unique deals with each of them, and we need to arrange a meeting to discuss our situation properly."

Virgo rolled her eyes but nodded in agreement. "I never thought I\'d be part of planning for this. But hey, demonic sexy alliance it is!"

Cestia just leveled her eyes at me. "What exactly do you need to plan? Are you not just going to have a threesome with them and then tell them to get along, or will you just erase them from existence? You can do that, right?"

"Existence? Not that far, but killing people is well within my power, but it is not really my thing. You are all my subjects and my people. I am supposed to watch over you all, not kill you all. Not to say that there aren\'t certain people that need killing, but I do that as a matter of course and protection to others. The greater good vs. the greatest evils," I explained, standing back up and dusting my dress off.

Cestia shook her head, a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "I didn\'t expect you to take my comment literally, but I suppose you have a point. We can\'t go around treating people like disposable tools. Alright, so what\'s the actual plan?"

"I think we need to make sure Harissa and Erisa are both comfortable with the idea and willing to work together," Virgo said. "Perhaps we should start by having them meet privately, somewhere neutral where they won\'t feel threatened or defensive."

"A diplomatic approach, but not a demonic one. These are not normal women. They are violent creatures with a thirst for pleasure, pain and care nothing for safety. Demons live to die, but the women had the men to satisfy them before. Unlike the women of the Mortal Realm of the Goddess, who had never known a man before me, the demons did have men until very recently," I explained. "The approach we take with them must be tailored to their mentality and desires."

Cestia looked thoughtful as she understood the point I was making. "So, something more like presenting them with a unique opportunity for pleasure while also convincing them that forming an alliance would be in their best interests?"

"Exactly," I confirmed. "We need to create a situation where they feel intrigued, excited, and finally realize that they have more to gain from working together than fighting each other."

Virgo grinned, seemingly enjoying the challenge. "So, how do we do that without just throwing you into the middle and expecting magic to happen?"

"I might have an idea," I said thoughtfully, an unconventional plan forming. "Instead of meeting in a traditional setting, like a diplomatic dinner or conference room, we could arrange a gathering in a more... exotic locale within Diabon Alley."

"Go on," Cestia directed, her attention fully captured by my proposal.

"It would be a place designed to cater to the hedonistic desires of these demons, but with a twist – it would symbolize unity and shared pleasure, focusing on whatever common ground Harissa and Erisa might have," I continued.

"So, instead of putting them on the defensive from the very start, we\'d be reeling them in with their own wants and desires, then subtly steering them toward the realization that cooperation could bring about greater rewards?" Virgo asked, catching on quickly.

"Precisely," I replied, pleased with how quickly they grasped the concept. "While this approach might not be suitable for all situations, it seems particularly fitting for our specific circumstances."

With a determined nod, Cestia added, "So we should start researching and planning everything as soon as possible. No time to waste if we want to deal with Kadeon swiftly and efficiently."

"I think we should ask your Bee Demon friend. She should know how you can handle them the best, don\'t you think? She is also probably worried about you after your earlier encounter with me," Virgo suggested, and I couldn\'t deny the logic in her words.

"Alright, Let\'s quickly head back up to the Arena Layer, and we can get her views on this plan as well," I agreed.

We returned to the Arena Layer of the Underworld with our newfound resolve. Determined not to blindly throw me into the situation, I intended to ask Bellazibub for her input on handling Harissa and Erisa most effectively.

Upon reaching the arena, we found Bellazibub overseeing a training session with a group of combatants, her eyes sharp and focused. However, as soon as she noticed us approaching, her stern expression softened into concern.

"Galio," she called out as she quickly crossed the distance between us. "Are you feeling okay? I was blocked from contacting you."

I reassured her with a warm smile, "I was dealing with these two and got myself into a bit of a pickle, or someone did," I said, giving Cestia a side eye, but she looked away from me. "I was hoping to get your advice and attempt an alliance with Harissa and Erisa."

Bellazibub looked between Virgo and Cestia, but I didn\'t want to get into their tales. This was more about figuring out how to get these demons to get along while also sexually pleasing the two of them as part of the deal I had made.

"I see; well, Harissa and Erisa are powerful and driven women. They\'re used to getting whatever they desire and thrive on pleasure and power," she explained thoughtfully. "We need a situation where they can come together around a shared experience or goal, something that appeals to their wilder nature and convinces them that working together will bring about even greater enjoyment and thrill."

Listening intently to her words, I nodded in agreement. "That fits perfectly with the idea we had. We were thinking about hosting an event catered to their hedonistic desires but using it as an opportunity to present the benefits of unity and cooperation."

Bellazibub\'s eyes lit up at the suggestion. "Oh, I like that plan! It would give them an irresistible offer that neither could easily refuse. They\'d be intrigued and excited, and once you\'ve captured their full attention, you could show them how much more they stand to gain by setting aside their rivalry and working together."

"Exactly," I confirmed. "And while they\'re caught up in the moment, I\'ll do my part per our agreements, ensuring their satisfaction while proving to them that I\'m a trustworthy ally."

"And if anyone can pull off such a delicate balancing act, it\'s you, Galio!" Bellazibub praised with a grin. "With your charm and adaptability, I have full confidence that you\'ll be able to secure this alliance and pave the way for us to confront Kadeon and his forces."

I couldn\'t help but smile at her faith in me, even though the task was daunting and uncertain. "Thank you, Bellazibub. Your guidance has been invaluable, even though it is as much as I thought. It is still nice to get a second opinion. I don\'t want to waste any more time than I have to."

She bowed her head modestly before giving me a playful smirk. "Yes, I know what you are working against, and I am hearing word coming up from below that things are starting to heat up on the fourth layer! Besides, if there\'s anyone who can get those two wild women to cooperate, it\'s certainly you! If you still have energy after you are done with them, you can come and give me some more orgasms like last time!"

Virgo and Cestia both grabbed my arms and hauled me away from Bellazibub. "He is only doing these women because it is his job, Demon! You had your time but you are not one of his wives!" Cestia hissed at her while Virgo firmly nodded in agreement.

Bellazibub just laughed at their reactions, clearly enjoying getting a rise out of them. "Don\'t worry, Zodiacs, I\'m only teasing! But I do believe in Galio and his ability to create harmony among demons. Sometimes, it takes the guidance of a skilled leader to bring the most stubborn individuals together."

With a grin, I thanked Bellazibub again before returning to Virgo and Cestia. "Alright, let\'s start planning this event. We\'ll need a exotic and secret location, catering services that can provide for our guests\' specific tastes, and we must ensure that security is tight – we don\'t want any unwelcome surprises."

As we dove into the preparations, I couldn\'t deny a creeping sense of unease. While the plan seemed sound and appealing to Harissa and Erisa\'s desires and appeared to be the best way to secure their cooperation, there was still so much that could go wrong.

But despite my concerns, I knew I couldn\'t back down now. Failure wasn\'t an option if we were going to save the Underworld and protect those we cared about. So, with determination and dedication, we set forth on our mission, ready to bring together even the wildest and most unpredictable players in the game for the sake of a brighter future.
