As a World Tree, Fey could see beyond all the people who were born in her world. After all, she was the mother of all beings living there. But when she looked at Dante... She couldn't see anything anymore. When she first met him, she had seen his entire being, and so she assumed that marrying him would be an opportunity for mutual benefit. But now...
She no longer knew who this man was.
She already knew Dante was strong, but now her eyes, which could see beyond everything, couldn't find that Dante she knew.
"He's still far from being a god... but his strength... maybe... No, he's still far from being a high-level being for the Administrators," she thought as his predatory gaze fell upon her body. Fey had been chosen precisely because she knew what type of woman Dante liked: tall, with large breasts. Yet she felt an unfamiliar shame, something she honestly neither knew nor cared about, but this man...
Just by looking at her, he stirred the most primal instincts within her.
"Cancel our contract," Dante said, looking at Fey. Those words hit her harder than she imagined. "B-but!" She stammered. She didn't want this. With Dante's current power, he could... yes, he could protect her.
She wanted to be protected by him, but why? Why did he want to break this marriage contract?
"Ouch!" Fey felt a pain in the middle of her forehead and placed her hands on it. Dante, mischievously, had flicked her, leaving a small red mark. She looked at him, curious and not understanding why he had done that. She was the World Tree and had just been flicked! Why?!
"You're overthinking, about irrelevant things. Come back to yourself," Dante said, with a mischievous smile, approaching her. His face looked angelic, but the lively wings reminded her of death. His lively eyes moved, observing everyone, but for her...
"So beautiful..." She thought as Dante continued approaching, holding her face with both hands and diverting her focus from the pain in her forehead. "I don't want a fidelity contract with a woman who is mine. This contract only stops me from doing many things with you," Dante said, calm, but his words were like spears thrust into the heart of the World Tree.
"W-what do you mean by that..." She asked, timid and cute, despite her age like that of a planet.
"I don't want a woman tied to a contract by my side. If you want to be mine, be completely mine. I don't know where my head was in allowing something like that... Screw the contracts. I want you whole," Dante said, his eyes almost probing Fey's soul. She trembled all over, her main body...
"Mistress, why are you creating a stream coming down from your roots around your body? You look like a waterfall..." Linnea, who was at this moment within the World Core, where Fey's original body was, couldn't help but wonder what was happening there. "Wait... is that water?" She questioned.
"Q-quiet, Linnea," Fey said, turning her attention back to Dante, who seemed about to devour her alive with his gaze.
She tried to formulate a response to Dante, but her words tangled in her mind. A great impasse hit her, but did Dante care? Of course not. He didn't care about all these stupid uncertainties; he just wanted her, and would do what he imagined to have her.
"You're paying too much attention to saving a planet that you're not sure is worth saving... Doesn't your satisfaction matter?" Dante asked, his words persuasive like a demon - which he was.
"All this time you've been protecting this planet, for ungrateful beings like Lucifer, who one day stepped on it. Someone like that invaded your planet, and you just want to protect it? Doesn't that make you angry? An inferior being like him coming and destroying your beloved world... and you can't defend yourself?"
Dante's words cut deep into Fey. She felt anger bubbling inside her, a mix of bitterness and hatred for Lucifer, the one who was once destined to help the world, just like that Creator who created nothing. She looked at Dante with piercing eyes. "I... am angry..." She said, as Dante calmly like a mischievous demon ran his hand across her waist. "You...
don't understand," Fey murmured, her voice laden with years of wisdom and suffering. "This planet is my child, Dante. I raised it, nurtured it, and protected it since the beginning of time. I can't just abandon everything I've built just out of hatred..."
He approached even closer, embracing her as if he desired to better understand the woman before him, to completely draw her into his world.
"You could have so much more, Fey. All that strength, all that passion... it should be directed towards something greater than such an insignificant world," he said, his words stroking her ego while probing her vulnerability. "Imagine receiving the same love you give to this world, without ingratitude, having a true home.
Being freer, happier, closer to the real world, a world you love and where you are loved." His words had already passed through the small barriers as she began to yield her body to his hands.
Fey hesitated, feeling temptation shine in Dante's eyes. She had never allowed herself to consider such thoughts before, but now, with him so close, her resistance faltered.
"But, Dante... what if I lose everything I've built?" She began, but Dante interrupted her with a gentle touch on her face.
"Nothing can touch you while you're with me," he said, his eyes burning with promises and dangers. "I will protect you from everything and everyone, My Fey."
Dante watched Fey with love and intensity, his desire pulsating alongside the power emanating from her. The World Tree, a primal and powerful entity, stood before him, vulnerable and indecisive. He approached slowly, his eyes fixed on hers, as if seeking permission and trust.
Fey, in turn, felt the warmth of Dante's proximity, unable to fight against his comforting and provocative words echoing in her mind. She had never allowed anyone to enter her world so deeply, but something about him drew her in a way she could not deny.
Without saying a word, Dante gently held Fey's face, his fingers touching her skin delicately. She felt a shiver run down her spine as their bodies drew even closer, each movement calculated, every breath shared.
"So cute." And then, their lips met in a kiss full of passion and intensity. It was as if time stood still around them, the outside world disappearing as they surrendered to the moment. Fey felt enveloped by a mix of emotions: desire, fear, and a strange sense of freedom.
Dante explored Fey's lips softly, their hearts beating in unison as they allowed themselves mutual pleasure. The kiss was a link between two worlds so different and yet so connected by the inevitable attraction that bound them.
"You are mine," Dante said as he gently broke the kiss, and the woman did not deny, only embracing him... He had just made the World Tree fall into a mere woman with common desires; he didn't even need to use anything he got from the Sin of Lust; he just claimed her as he wanted...
His possessiveness was exponentially increasing, not just because he wanted a long life, but because he began to remember everything he had lost, all the things he had left behind to pursue foolish ambitions... When he was Lucifer, he lost three women... when he was Azi Dahaka, he lost more than fifteen.
And even though he no longer had those experiences, just seeing the memories, he already knew what that was all about... This could be his last life, his final reincarnation... And he had no more room to suffer and lose women, let alone leave them loose in the world...
"I would sacrifice all my power just to live with you for eternity..." Dante thought as he gently let go of the World Tree.
"It's over..." Alter-Dante said... after all, all this time, while Dante spent with Fey... something was happening, something that went beyond the normal and residual... Dante was nurturing something in his soul.
Using all the demonic energy, he reinforced his entire existence, or rather... Using all the divine energy of the World Tree, he created a cocoon in his soul. The Negative-Divine Energy from the World Tree of the Inferno was coursing through his soul; in the past, he had done this when he married a World Tree during his time as the progenitor dragon. But this time would be different...
"You will be temporarily weakened, but once you get used to it... I don't want to imagine what you'll become... This was insane..." Alter-Dante said. He was the infernal progenitor part, but the other Dante... was the part Angel, Dragon, and Vampire... until they merged, even though he no longer had that status...
Dante was still an undiscovered powerhouse...
"Fey..." Dante murmured, and the woman looked curiously. "Could you go away for a moment, please? I'll talk to you shortly." He said gently, and she nodded, disappearing immediately...
"Are you really going to do this?" Alter questioned, and Dante just smiled, "Someone has to clean up this mess... Making a contract with the Inferno itself was the best solution... I don't need the Inferno, giving up authority to restrain Qliphoth was the best choice.
I won't be able to use my ruler status until I go through all the cycles of the Inferno, but I can still use the Sanctuary," Dante said as he hovered in the air.
"If you say so..." Alter said as Dante pointed his hand towards all of Qliphoth in front of him... it was a fraction of 15% of the real power of Qliphoth but could already cause major problems.
"Devour everything," Dante said, and the mass of black energy began to swallow the tree until there was nothing left...
But unfortunately... "This energy is not controllable... I think I'll send it back to the disgusting fallen angel who dared to lay his hands on my wife's forest." Dante said, and a huge portal began to appear in front of him, engraved in black full of demonic patterns in runes...
