Champion Of Lust: Gods Conquer's Harem Paradise!

Pyris lay on the bed, his mind swirling with the events that had transpired in the Sunstone Empire.

The weight of everything back home had been growing on him for days now, and there was no more room for denial. His companions, Mira, Alexa, and Aurelia, were still in the other room, bonding with Ammit. The demoness had integrated herself seamlessly into his growing network, solidifying her role not only as a formidable ally but also as a powerful presence in this new dominion.

[I think you've made up your mind now. For days, you have known what's happening at home,] Lia whispered in his mind. [I also agree it's time we addressed it.]

Pyris sighed, his gaze drifting to the ceiling. "I know. The Sunstone Empire has a lot to offer, and I would've liked to see it through to the end, but it's no longer necessary."

He had already touched the ruling forces in the empire, and with Ammit acting as the new general, everything was in place to move forward. The king, despite his title, was nothing more than a pawn now.

Ammit's strength and influence would ensure everything flowed seamlessly, and there was no reason for Pyris to linger any longer.

Reaching for the Eclipse Syndicate card, Pyris activated the communication channel. The card shimmered, and a few moments later, the cold, disembodied voice of the Eclipse Syndicate contact came through.

"You have news, Petne Chaos?"

"The mission is complete," Pyris said firmly. "The general is dead. I'll bring the proof to the discreet exchange point."

"Understood. We'll verify and have your reward ready for pickup."

The connection faded, and Pyris sat up. The Blood Chalice, the very thing he sought, was almost within reach. After all of this, after securing the Sunstone Empire, the next step in his grand plan would begin.

Pyris frowned as he considered the next step. Using the telepathic link he had with Ammit was one thing, but sharing such a connection with the king? That was something else entirely.

Pyris was not comfortable with the idea of linking his mind to a man, especially one like the king—a mere puppet in his game. No, a phone call would suffice for now.

He dialed the king's number, his thoughts already moving ahead to the next phase. The line barely rang once before the king answered, his voice filled with complete servitude.

"Master," the king's voice trembled slightly, no longer the arrogant tone Pyris had once heard. "What is your will?"

Pyris couldn't help but feel a smirk tug at his lips. The king knew his place now. "Announce the general's death to the empire, but only after the Eclipse Syndicate has confirmed the kill with you first. Once they have contacted you, make the announcement public immediately. You will say that you orchestrated his death yourself and that your new general, the one who killed him, is Ammit."

There was a pause on the other end before the king responded, his voice filled with obedience. "As you command, Master. The moment they contact me, the announcement will be made."

Pyris continued. "Make it a grand spectacle. Let the empire know that this is a victory under your reign. And make it clear that any who defy your new general will meet the same fate as the late general."

The king's tone became even more reverent. "Yes, Master. It will be done as you say."

Satisfied, Pyris spoke his final words. "Good. I will handle the syndicate. You ensure the rest. Remember your place."

"Of course, Master."

Pyris ended the call, already planning his next move. Everything was falling into place.

The king would make the announcement once the syndicate confirmed the kill, and Ammit would officially be appointed as the new general of the empire. But in truth, the Sunstone Empire now belonged to Pyris, and the king was nothing more than a puppet on strings he pulled.

Ammit and Mira had already been busy in the background. With Pyris' orders in place, they had moved swiftly to consolidate power.

The first step had been to bring the three lords to their knees.

The first to fall was Eldris, the warlord who had been the general's right-hand man. He had resisted, of course—his pride and ambition blinding him to the inevitable. Ammit had offered him a chance to submit, but when he refused, Mira had killed him swiftly, his death serving as a message to the other two lords: obey or die.

When the other two lords, Vicar, the merchant lord, and Zareth, the magus, saw what had happened to Eldris, their defiance quickly turned to submission. They understood the power dynamics at play.

Pyris, through Ammit, controlled the Sunstone Empire now, and to go against them would be suicide.

Ammit had been ruthless but calculated, ensuring that Pyris would not have to concern himself with any further resistance from the lords. They had been brought to heel, and the power structure of the empire now rested firmly in their hands.

With the lords under a witch contract which in which they had to work for Ammit and the King as surbodianates than equals, the loose ends had been tightly tied not to open ever.

With the Sunstone Empire ruling forces firmly in their grasp and the final pieces of the mission falling into place, it was time for Pyris and his companions to leave. His mind, though satisfied with the progress they had made here, was already drifting back to the Dragon Empire.

There were bigger threats looming at home, and Pyris knew that his family needed him now more than ever.

Pyris sat on the bed, his expression hardening with determination.

He would meet with the Eclipse Syndicate to retrieve the information on the Blood Chalice, but after that, his time here in the Sunstone Empire was over.

His eyes flicked to the door as his women finally entered the room, their faces a mix of relief and curiosity. Ammit, too, walked in, her posture as commanding as ever, though a faint smile played on her lips.

"It's time we prepare to leave," Pyris said, his voice cutting through the air. "Ammit, you'll stay behind to ensure that everything runs smoothly."

She nodded. "The Sunstone Empire is under control. Vicar and Zareth have agreed to work with us. The empire is yours, Pyris."

"Good. Then I'll retrieve what I need from the syndicate and head back to the Dragon Empire." He glanced at his companions. "We've done enough here. Let's get ready."

The day was set. Pyris and his companions would soon leave the Sunstone Empire, their mission complete, and head back to face the storm that awaited them at home.

As the weight of their accomplishments settled on them, there was a sense of calm before the next storm.

But Pyris knew—just as Lia had hinted—this was only the beginning.

The Sunstone Empire had been a stepping stone, and now, with their business growing and new allies in place, the future was looking brighter. But darkness loomed in the form of Silas and the troubles brewing back home.

There was much to be done. And Pyris, now more prepared than ever, was ready to face it head-on.
