After dozens of heavy thrusts, the burning life essence was funneled entirely into Ophis's body. At that same moment, Ophis reached a brilliant peak. Her small, ivory-white feet tensed and curled as she clung to Ethan, unable to speak. The massive amount of life energy caused her flat, pale stomach to bulge noticeably. In her petite form, Ophis snuggled into Ethan's chest like a spoiled child, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and pressing her damp, warm lips against his.
The two shared a moment of intimacy until Lilith, feeling a bit jealous, squeezed her way in, forcing them to separate. Once apart, they didn't rush into a new round of training but instead carefully sensed the changes in their bodies.
After claiming Lilith's virginity, Ethan felt an improvement, but it wasn't nearly as potent as his first times with Ophis or Riveal. Logically, as a Dragon God and an independent entity, the effect should have been similar. Ethan could only speculate that because his own strength had reached such a high level, and because Lilith and Ophis shared the same source, a form of "diminishing returns" or resistance had set in. Furthermore, Lilith herself was technically in an incomplete state, meaning her virgin essence wasn't at its absolute zenith.
Since the immediate power jump was minimal, Ethan stopped overthinking it and focused on the two clones clinging to him. Ophis and Lilith closed their eyes, their mana circulating in a synchronized loop. As the energy passed through their lower abdomens, they digested the life essence, converting it into their own magical power. Gradually, their auras began to intertwine.
Ethan realized the experiment was a success. As the bridge between them, he could feel their fractured origins being repaired through synchronization. Once fully mended, they would no longer be "main body" and "clone." There would simply be two Infinite Dragon Gods, two Ouroboros.
Furthermore, they would achieve a state of symbiosis. If an enemy wished to kill them, they would have to kill both simultaneously; otherwise, the survivor would instantly resurrect the other. The concepts of "Infinity" and "Cycle" were inherently broken, but when two infinities tangled together, the resulting power was staggering. Even Ethan felt a pang of envy.
However, such power wasn't easily mastered. This was the foundation for their breakthrough to the Super Dragon God rank. For now, their first "triple-cultivation" session had only repaired a fraction of the damage. The cost was high: all the dual-cultivation benefits were poured into the repair, meaning their raw stats didn't increase, and the essence in their bellies was entirely consumed.
To speed up the recovery, Ophis and Lilith teamed up to wage war on Ethan. The two nearly identical dragon lolis used every trick in the book to stimulate him—twin play, mother-daughter roles, and a relentless assault of black and white silken legs and feet. Eventually, Riveal grew impatient waiting and barged in.
With Riveal's arrival, Ethan's ultimate dream was realized: a chaotic mix of twins, black and white silk, lolis and mature women, sisters and mothers. After their initial three-month retreat, the four of them began an even longer period of secluded cultivation within the coastal dimension.
While they were busy breaking the limits of the world, Hades was growing frantic. He had promised Sakra to arrange a meeting, but Ethan had vanished. For a month, he tried contacting them through Cao Cao and the Khaos Brigade to no avail. Under pressure from Sakra, he finally leaked the news to the other mythologies.
The Devil Kings reacted first, followed by the Angels, Fallen Angels, and Odin's Norse faction. Everyone was looking for Ethan. Eventually, they begged Rias and the other girls to help. Even Sirzechs reached out to his sister. Rias couldn't ignore her brother, nor could she ignore the pleas of Grayfia and Venelana—both of whom were now Ethan's women.
However, even the soul network couldn't locate him. Ethan knew what was happening through his avatars, but he was at a critical juncture in his training and didn't care about Hades or Sakra. To put Rias at ease, he sent a vague message through the network but refused to reveal his location.
