Beta Testing the Apocalypse 083 (Patreon)

'From behind like this, she kind of reminds me of Tatsumaki...' thought Leon, holding Presea's waist and thrusting into her slowly yet forcibly, sending visible ripples through her ass as she supported herself using her elbows and issued suppressed, incredibly sonorous moans in timing with each of his movements.

"You about ready to wrap this up...?" asked Leon, tracing his thumb over the heart pattern pulsating above the dimples of Presea's ass. They had already been going at it for nearly three hours, largely thanks to Presea's remarkable durability and stamina, but while the tightness, twitching, and heat of her pussy felt incredible, Leon was starting to feel like he was on auto-pilot, gradually zoning out.

Turning her near-crimson face sideways to meet Leon's gaze, Presea's response was to reach down and massage his artificial balls, panting, "Let it out...deep inside me..." before effectively sitting against him, drawing his entire dick into her pussy and clenching it with all her might.

With his hold on Presea's hips, Leon was able to continue moving, but it took considerable effort. He was a little worried that she would suffer a prolapse by squeezing so tightly, but as Endurance was her primary stat and she could regenerate from most injuries within minutes, he didn't stop even as the pink of her insides became visible each time he pulled back...

"Should I...use my mouth...to clean it...?" asked Presea, curled up next to Leon on his right side, her pink eyes glazed over and face a deep shade of red. However, despite being fucked more exhaustively than just about any other woman Leon had slept with, she never succumbed or lost herself to the pleasure.

"It's fine..." replied Leon, pulling Presea closer to kiss the top of her head before stating, "Once you've settled down, we'll hop in the bath. For now, just focus on your breathing..."

"Understood..." replied Presea, closing her eyes and doing as Leon had instructed. That was one thing that had never changed, even after she started opening up to those closest to her. So long as she was given an order by someone she viewed as her superior, she would obey it without question or complaint.

While Presea did as she was told, Leon focused on the notification that had appeared the moment his faux balls were empty and their veritable marathon had ended.

[Congratulations on completing the challenge issued by your Patron, Maribelladonna! As a reward, you have been granted the Unique Skill, [Diffusion Link]. Use it well!]

'And here I thought I would have to wait until the next Grand Banquet to receive the reward...' thought Leon, smiling as he opened his status to see what his new Skill could do. He expected it to be good, as Maribelladonna would want him to be motivated to complete future challenges, but when he read what the Skill did, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets...

"You know, telling us you'll explain later and then having us stand still as you inscribe magic, heart-shaped patterns above our crotches is pretty suspicious..." commented Mordred, staring down at Leon as he carefully traced his index finger along the template that appeared above where her womb and ovaries should be.

"Once you learn what it does, you'll be laughing your ass off..." assured Leon, finishing things off by grabbing Mordred's waist and planting a kiss on the seal, causing it to pulse pink before vanishing.

"Okay, you're up next, Kisara," said Mordred, moving off to the side and standing with her arms crossed as her maroon-haired Lieutenant stood in front of Leon, appearing nervous but standing still as he traced the same heart-shaped pattern over her womb. After that, he did the same for Miu, Eris, and, since she was one of the girls he was currently 'training,' Ridley. With Presea receiving the very first seal, that brought the total number of people who bore it up to six.

Seeing Leon carefully kiss the heart-shaped pattern he had inscribed above her womb, Ridley's face flushed as she got the distinct impression he had just marked her as his property. It was a mortifying notion, but at the same time, her pussy became noticeably wet, hungry for the pleasure it had experienced previously.

Noticing Ridley's condition, Leon placed a few more kisses on her womb, even after the mark had vanished. Then, without asking if she was willing, he rose to his feet, hand resting on her shoulder as he mused, "Ridley will help to illustrate the effects of the marks. Before that, everyone needs to focus on the location of the mark and say the key phrase, 'Link Activate.'"

As everyone did as he instructed, their previously invisible seals became visible again, pulsing with a faint pink glow. Ridley was the last to do so, muttering, "L-Link Activate..." as he massaged her shoulders. The moment she did so, everyone present could feel the sensation of Leon's hands on their shoulders, albeit faintly.

Moving his right hand to Ridley's abdomen, Leon caressed and warmed it with his palm as he explained, "My newly acquired Skill can link groups of people with similar features or shared experiences. As for its effects...one of them should be fairly obvious. Anyone with an active link can feel what others in the link feel. If there are two people, both people in the link feel the same stimuli. If there are ten, it's split evenly between everyone in the group."

"So, what, you can now get off an entire group of women simultaneously? Good for you, Leon," remarked Mordred, smiling but with a tone filled with sarcasm.

"I mean, it's possible, but that's just a perk, not the main purpose of the link," explained Leon. "What makes it truly godly is this..."

Grasping Ridley's hand and raising it, palm facing upward, Leon surprised her by producing a dagger in his left hand.

"It will be okay..." whispered Leon, placing the dagger's tip at the center of Ridley's palm and tentatively pricking it. She felt it, but the pain wasn't nearly as intense as she expected, nor was there much blood. Instead, as everyone else felt a similar prick on their palms, they raised their hands to find they also had tiny, surface-level cuts.

Before anyone could ask, Leon used a cloth to carefully wipe the tiny trace of blood from Ridley's palm as he explained, "As you can see, the link also disseminates injuries, but, more importantly, it 'weakens' them by spreading the damage across the entire group. In other words, if you had something like a hundred people linked, everyone in the group would take a hundredth of the damage they would have ordinarily received."

"Wow! How wonderful~!" exclaimed Miu, smiling radiantly and spiritedly clapping her hands. Mordred still had her doubts, however, remarking, "I get how that would be useful in a skirmish, but it also means 'everyone' in the squadron could be debilitated by a single person's error. What if they got their head blown off or crushed beneath a heavy object?"

"The link has built-in countermeasures for such situations," assured Leon. "If someone is afflicted with a curse or an attack that would prove fatal to other members in the link, it simply isn't transferred."

"Mmmm...I don't like it, but I can see how it could prove useful in certain situations," conceded Mordred. In truth, she found the ability to be novel and useful, but since it was very clearly rooted in Magic, she couldn't help feeling it was a little like sipping poison in the hopes of building resistance to it. It didn't help that the power came from someone who viewed Leon's and the rest of their lives as entertainment...

"Well, in situations where it's not needed, you just need to focus on the mark and say 'Link Deactivate,'" explained Leon. "Similarly, if anyone doesn't want to be a part of the link anymore, the key phrase for that is 'Link Terminate.'"

"Sounds good," said Mordred, nodding in approval. Then, as they were already gathered and completely naked, she asked, "So, what now? Are we going to fuck, or what?"

"Sex?" parroted Eris, the bored look she had been sporting replaced by one of excitement as she pumped her fists and shouted, "Count me in...!"

"How about it...?" asked Leon, reaching up to cup Ridley's small but well-shaped breasts as he whispered in her ear. The thought of being watched or participating in an orgy seemed beyond scandalous, but as no one else seemed to be against the notion, she ultimately swallowed, nodded, and meekly replied, "I'll give it my all..." as her thighs glistened with the fluids leaking from her pussy...

"So I just have to blow this thing...?" asked a short, child-like youth with wild black hair, brown eyes, and a distinctive, monkey-like tail poking out from beneath his bright orange parka, adorned with the Kanji for Ryu on the chest and Kamesennin on the back.

"That's right," replied Leon, nodding in affirmation before explaining, "And, so long as your heart is pure, the God of Pokemon, Arceus, should appear before us."

"Well, okay," replied the youth, known to virtually all anime fans, including quite a few from other worlds Leon had pulled from, as Son Goku. He was by far the 'purest' person Leon knew, so while it took a month to get Goku through the Eighth Floor, he felt it was worth it when the tiny Saiyan blew into the Azure Flute, causing a tiny but rapidly growing portal to appear in the sky. Beyond which lay a vast, nebulous cosmos.

As the frigid winds that plagued the icy mountain peak ceased in their entirety, a figure resembling the Arceus Leon was familiar with appeared from the portal's depths as if they were magnified from a single point. It had the same facial structure as Arceus, resembling a white helmet with a black faceguard, but it had a three-pointed crown on its forehead, and the horn-like structure that typically flowed from the back was longer and had a pattern resembling the tapestry of the night sky or the portal it had just emerged from. It also had a gold, crescent-shaped halo above its head, wing-like rings flanking its sides, and wore white and gold robes over a bipedal figure with a long, almost snake-like tail flowing behind it, white on the top and black on the bottom.

'Thou who art pure of heart, tell me thine desire...' said a deep, profound, and masculine voice, resonating through the minds of everyone present, specifically Goku, Leon, Latia, and, as he was there as Goku's chaperone, Hayato.

"Oh, well, my friends and I were hoping to move up to the next Floor of the Tower. Can you help us with that, Mr. Ring Guy?" asked Goku, sporting a broad, friendly smile.

Seemingly amused by Goku's remark, the figure telepathically chuckled before raising its left hand, sporting four golden claws, and adopting a far more casual tone as it replied, 'Once you pass the trial of the Tenth Floor, things will become much harder for you and your friends. But, as long as you remain true to yourselves and care for one another, you will someday reach the Thrones of the Gods themselves...'

Closing its hand, the humanoid version or offspring of Arceus caused a sizeable blue portal to open at the mountain's peak. It wasn't the most convenient location, but as it connected to the Floor where his new body was purportedly waiting, Leon felt nearly as much excitement as when he performed his first summoning and stepped into the Tower more than a year prior...
