Chapter 15: Bleach Arc - 14
Khan was back at his palace, enjoying the fruits of his labor, for Rukia it took almost no convincing for her get naked and join Khan in his bedroom. The noises she made while Khan was ravaging her was music to his ears.
As Rukia was busy cleaning Khan's cock like so many before her, Khan decided to ignore the new notice for a bit and ask the system a question. 'Hey quick question, why do the girls always have a blank look in their eyes after their first time with me?'
[That because the seed you planted has sprouted, and their minds are going through a mental obstacle course, in order to justify the fact that they now think of you as "master." They have total devotion to you, but still maintain their sense of self and any valuable skills for outside the bedroom.]
Khan looks at Rukia as she continued to bob her head. Khan then decided the check the new notice.
[Notice you have successfully exploited Rukia Kuchiki; you have unlocked the following rewards:
Rukia's total devotion - she will never betray you and will do what you ask without hesitation.
x1 Companion Lottery Ticket
x2 Instant Skill Upgrade]
Khan was interested in the instant skill upgrades, while his devices is useful it can take up to a week to complete any changes, and he can't use those skills while they're being upgraded. With that Khan upgraded the two skills that he wanted to have upgraded.
[Notice the following skills have been upgraded:
Shadow Sight has been upgraded to The Eyes of Hermaeus Mora.
Unseen Shadow has been upgraded to Nocturnal's Embrace.
The Eyes of Hermaeus Mora - (Active) no secret is safe from you, see your target anywhere and even see their thoughts. (Warning mind reading process can be blocked if target has the appropriate skills or tools.)
Nocturnal's Embrace - (Passive) no matter if the method technological, magical, or supernatural unless if it's with their own eyes they cannot see you or your subordinates.]
While impressed with the new skills, Khan couldn't help but feel a warm flash of nostalgia at see those names. Khan thought, 'Hermaeus Mora, you thought you were so clever with those black books, you thought they were your ultimate tools, never thought someone might use them to invade your realm, I'll always treasure the look of agony in your eyes as I snuffed out your life, hah, all the things you tried to bribe me with, and in the end I killed you and still collected those bribes. Nocturnal, I don't know which look you gave that I liked more, the one you gave when you realized I trapped you in Tamriel, in that lovely form, or the one you gave when you realized that your own trusted Nightingale, Karliah was the one who sold you out, but I'll never forget the moment you finally submitted to me and begged me to join my harem.'
After that Khan had another thought, 'hmm, I broke Mercer in half so that I could "stumble across his notes" on Karliah, and she in turn traded everything on the Nightingales, after I showed her every "benefit" to joining my harem, she practically handed Nocturnal on a silver platter, and I don't think I gave her a proper reward for that.'
Khan checked his inventory and saw the x7 Lover Lottery Tickets, then he thought, 'there is a very real possibility the either Nocturnal or Karliah could be summoned from this lottery, to bad I can't use them or buy them until after I complete this world.'
Khan told Rukia that, that was enough. Khan got dressed, Khan had to finish a few things, the timer said Kukaku wouldn't be ready for another 12 hours. Khan went to Masaki, he originally planned to seal the deal with her after Nelliel, but Khan remembered something about the original plot and needed Nelliel as she was for now.
Khan took it as a sign when he saw Apacci and Sung-Sun playing with Nelliel, leaving Masaki free. Khan whispered into Masaki saying he has something important to tell her. On the way to his room, Khan got a notice.
[Notice the Quincy group Wandenreich has discovered the seal place on their headquarters, they have chosen subtlety to remove it.]
Khan mused since Kanae was a Gemischt Yhwach wouldn't really put any effort in her rescue, and when it fails, he may and try that Auswahlen to kill her remotely. Khan asked the system, 'is there any way to prevent that?'
[Yes, by claiming her devotion she will be protected by Nocturnal's Embrace which will force Yhwach to have to physically see her in order to perform the Auswahlen.]
Khan thought that he should probably deal with Yhwach after he deals Aizen. Khan led Masaki into his bedroom. Masaki was suspicious as to the reason, but she was also at 80% so her decision-making skill were really compromised.
Once in the room Khan removed his mask and before Masaki knew what was happening, they were locking lips. Soon after Masaki found herself naked, bouncing on Khan's dick while he was using his hand to play with her ass, and suckling on her tits. Khan enjoyed hearing Masaki moan in pleasure, begging for more, and Khan was all too happy to give it.
A few hours later Khan was in a familiar scene only with Masaki using her breasts instead. Khan was curious about the shortness of the new notice.
[Notice you brought Masaki Kurosaki into your growing harem; you have been given the following rewards:
Masaki's total devotion - she will do anything you want, even offer her own family.]
Khan finished up with Masaki then decided to deal with his new guests and get Yoruichi and Kanae ready for their new lives.
Khan arrived at the dungeon, Yoruichi yelled, "you bastard! What did you do to Rukia to make her betray us like that!" Khan laughed then said, "that was funny, but seriously I did nothing, (that you can prove) her betrayal was caused by you, well not you specifically, but your side." Khan continued, "they treated her like an outcast shunning her, looking at her like she was a traitor, can you really blame her for what she did."
Yoruichi looked away, guilt in her eyes. She knew what Rukia was going through but did nothing to even try to fix it or even stop it. Then Khan approached his other guest, Kanae Katagiri was in her maid uniform, her black hair in a long bun. She looked at Khan with concern in her eyes.
Khan said, "Kanae Katagiri, mother of Uryu Ishida, you are a Quincy, and you don't really have anything other than that to your name." Kanae after hearing her life being summarized like that simply asked, "then why would you abduct me then?" Khan responded saying, "it was at the request of one of my followers, she was concerned for your safety." Kanae confused asked, "who was it?" Both Yoruichi and Kanae were shocked to see Masaki in front of their cells, Masaki said, "Kanae it's good to see you again." Yoruichi got closer to make sure her eyes weren't tricking her, while Kanae involuntarily reached out to grab her, the moment she touched Masaki she asked, "how is this possible? I thought you were killed." Masaki hugged Kanae then whispered in her ear. Suddenly Khan got a notice.
[Notice a seed has been planted in Kanae Katagiri.]
Khan was curious as to what Masaki just said to cause that. Masaki turned to Khan and asked that Kanae be free to stay in her room. Khan agreed and opened her cell as they left Yoruichi yelled, "is that it, you abandoned your family for what!?" While Masaki continued to walk Kanae out, Khan stood in front of Yoruichi's cell as soon as the others left Khan said, "Masaki is mine and I don't like it when some offers insult or threats to what is mine." Yoruichi was about to make a sarcastic comment, but before she could Khan snapped his fingers and Yoruichi found herself on the ground writhing in unbelievable pain. She wanted to scream but found the act of even trying to draw in air impossible. Khan waited a minute then released her. He checked her status and was surprised it went from 25% to 60%. While Yoruichi tried to catch her breath Khan asked the system what that was about.
[Pain causes faster progress, but if pain is responsible for more than 50% of progress, the subject will start losing their skills and/or abilities.]
Khan thought, 'a double-edged sword, while faster, if I went the pain route, they would be no more useful than a joy-toy.'
Khan used Shadow Reach to help Yoruichi stand up then said, "I have need for you Yoruichi, and I prefer that you remain intact, but if you prove more trouble than your worth, I won't hesitate to strip you of everything you hold dear, am I understood." Yoruichi said, "I-I understand." Khan nodded and left, leaving Yoruichi uncertain about what was to come, she only had one thing on her mind, 'how did he do that!?'
