Chapter 241 Untamed Obsessions
Chapter 241 Untamed Obsessions
"I'm sure you guys want to play with your abilities now more than anything, so I'll leave you to it. Anything you want is free for you to ask of my base AI, and with your quantum AI chips, you will always be connected once you remain within this universe," Dante stated as he stood up to leave.
"Go ahead, son, do what you have to," David said calmly, nodding his head with approval.
"Oh, don't forget to take us to see Beatrice and her family when you have time. I can't wait to see my lovely daughter-in-law!" Aileen reminded as she came out of her musings.
"Haha, don't worry, Mom, it will be right after I do this particular thing," Dante assured her as he left because his uncle had already turned into a bird and was flying about haphazardly.
Dante teleported into the medical zone of the Vitality Pool's area and entered the room where Aisha was kept. The woman was now dressed in a skin-tight polymer that was white in color, which highlighted her 10/10 curves.
It seemed that not only the health treatment but also the fact that her superpower had been raised had affected her body slightly and perfected it even further, making her visually superior to most Earth women.
However, she naturally fell far short of Beatrice. Not to mention that Dante had developed sexual apathy towards other women after tasting Beatrice. It wasn't just loyalty to his partner, because it was possible to be loyal and still agree that sexiness was sexiness.
However, Dante knew that even if Aisha stripped, he wouldn't be able to get it up because he wouldn't be able to muster any sexual interest. Just as Beatrice was completely enraptured by his semen, which was of high quality thanks to his upgraded stats, he too was completely stolen away by her superior… everything… when they copulated.
That phenomenon worked both ways, for both sexes. Besides, he would have to suppress his own body's power to even have a chance of not killing Aisha on penetration, something which he did not feel inclined to do, which further enhanced his apathy.
It didn't matter which woman came now or later or how desirable their body would be traditionally, Dante would not be able to partake in it even if he was forced or hypnotized into it.
Dante only realized all this in a split second, then glanced at Aisha, who was startled to see him here. However, she seemed to see the change in Dante's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
Previously, although Dante said and indicated that he did not have any interest toward her, she could tell that it was only due to loyalty to his true partner first and second, a certain disgust because of her own sexual history.
However, his eyes and body did not lie, and she knew that she was definitely at the top of his list of sexually desirable partners. This formed her confidence and why she was willing to be patient, because no matter how beautiful the other woman was, it was natural for a man to want more.
Even if she would end up as a second place in a harem, Aisha was willing because she understood that it was the best she could get. However, seeing the apathy now, she couldn't help but panic and begin to hyperventilate as the world around her became black.
Dante saw this and sighed. This was why it was only nice in fiction for a man or woman to have an obsession toward you, like the famous 'yandere'. In reality, it was something very dangerous and harmful for both parties and should be cured as soon as possible.
However, Dante had taken advantage of her obsession to get her to fulfill his goals, but he knew he couldn't do so anymore, so he was here to finally deal with this Aisha problem once and for all.
"Aisha, you have already realized it by now. It is simply impossible for us to be together romantically or even platonically as there is no real common ground between us. The way we met marked us as enemies, and the way you were treated after should have created hatred, not love," Dante began with a deep breath.
"Despite the fact that it did, I could not trust you fully because the kind of love you have is not entirely reliable; it can easily turn to hate. As such, I have not been fully upfront with you and have used you to complete various tasks for me, but given your former occupations, you should have realized this."
"I-…"
Before Dante could continue, he was interrupted by Aisha turning to a beam of light and appearing before him, on her knees. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were completely bloodshot, with not a hint of clarity within.
"No, Please! D-Don't abandon me! I-I don't want to leave you!" She screamed with the kind of desperation that a person would have if their family member was about to be killed right in front of them.
No, she was like a severely addicted person who was told that they would no longer be given a hit of their desired substance. Dante could tell without even using body language that she would literally do ANYTHING at this moment to get what she thought she needed.
He could only watch her rush to cling to his pants with a look of utter desperation, forgetting her own self-esteem and pride. He had to look at it because this was a monster that he created.
He had no blame for Aisha initially forming the obsession, but at that time, it was mere sexual interest and a strong attachment because she had been 'beaten down'. It was similar to the western fantasy theory that humanoid dragon women had to literally be beaten up by prospective mates in order to subdue them for mating, and they would become loyal to their mates for life.
However, Dante still had uses for her back then and did not have a foolproof way to control her, so he simply let the obsession fester and even gave her the hope that it might be achieved in order to galvanize her loyalty.
Now, this was the result.
"Don't worry, I don't have plans to abandon you. I have taken the path of a conqueror, which means I should be ruthless, but I want to be more like Alexander the Great than Hitler, if you get my meaning," Dante said as he gently stroked her head.
"But I cannot release you, not because I fear you, but because you wouldn't even leave if I opened the door. I cannot lie to you that you will get a chance; you already know the truth. If I lie and leave, the next time I come and see you, you will most likely be a corpse by your own hands."
"You want to be close to me due to your obsession, but we cannot be true friends nor can we be lovers, even as a fake. The only path left to me is to make you a part of me, a subordinate who is closer to me than anyone else without infringing both of our interests and lives."
Dante paused and then firmed his expression. "And that requires a big change."
The blackish-red fire lit up on his hand that was rubbing Aisha's head and as he gazed in her desperate eyes that were like a firework that had been launched, at its peak before it reached the sky and exploded, outliving its existence.
If Dante did not do this, Aisha's last desperate cry would turn to severe nihilism and apathy towards life. She would either become braindead and unresponsive, or would simply end her life functions with a thought.
As such, he sent a huge volume of hellfire into her, an amount reaching the total number of hellfire within all his 1024 dantians!
Aisha did not scream or move because the process was not painful unless Dante wanted it to be. Besides, it would be impossible to hear her screams or see her thrashing because her entire form was covered from head to toe with the hellfire without any space to see her form.
Eventually, Dante took his hand back and panted tiredly. Expelling all his Internal force at once was a great undertaking for him, no less than when he exploded it to cause a nuclear fallout in the Apocalypse World.
After making sure everything was fine, Dante took a step back and sat cross-legged to recover his internal force slowly. After all, the amount he had used to transform Aisha using Heretical Inferno would need time to process and digest.
Even while he was meditating, his spirit sense was locked on the flaming silhouette that represented Aisha, and he could feel waves of power growing from the silhouette that made him feel wary.
Whatever she would become after this, her power would not be low at all!
