Chapter 191: My Mermaid Harem Academia?
Chapter 191: My Mermaid Harem Academia?
Loki, seamlessly operating under the stolen identity of Owen, sat cross-legged and completely bare upon a floating mattress of pure black sea-silk. The literal waterbed drifted lazily within a massive indoor pool, a grand basin of crystalline water that easily rivaled the dimensions of an Olympic swimming pool.
Towering twenty-foot white stone pillars lined the perimeter of the palatial chamber, each one meticulously carved with elegant Greek flair. In a striking architectural fusion, the doors and windows featured Japanese-style sliding partitions—though constructed from a resilient, semi-translucent material native to Atlantean craftsmanship rather than traditional paper. High above, a grand domed roof held a breathtaking mural inlaid entirely with exotic shells, illustrating the historic achievements of ancient mermaids. It was a stunning vista, designed to be admired while lying flat on one's back.
Resting against his chest was the Chronos Heart Jewel—a mythical golden pearl suspended by a delicate, silver-like chain. It was the ultimate symbol of power and status within Atlantis, and the sole reason he was currently sequestered in these royal quarters.
Yet, Loki ignored the breathtaking beauty around him. He was deep in meditation, turning his focus inward to unlock the secrets of the temporal artifact. He knew he had a narrow window of opportunity; until he fulfilled his purpose and inseminated the magnificent woman who ruled this domain, he needed to discover if Puck, his Shared Fate Spider, had any hand in his current predicament.
First, Loki inspected his Life magic core. Everything within it appeared completely normal—perhaps a bit too normal.
Maintaining the stealth protections of his magic cloak and ring, he carefully swapped his active cores. He ignited his 8th Circle Death core, intent on investigating a strange, phantom sensation that had been lingering in his physical body.
Inside the dark expanse of the core, the white-and-black striped Fate Spider sat peacefully on his intricate webbing, entirely undisturbed. Nearby, the Corpse Refining Coffin rested quietly, steadily absorbing Nether-Ice mana with palpable contentment.
Then, his spiritual gaze drifted to the Soul Lamp.
What the hell?
Loki floated closer to the artifact, which remained bound within his webs of fate. It was faintly pulsing with an eerie, luminescent blue glow.
Adhering to its activation requirements, he mentally gave the lamp three deliberate rubs. Instantly, a cascade of status information flooded his consciousness, causing his spiritual lips to twitch in disbelief.
He looked up at Puck and cracked a dry internal joke. Well, it seems my Soul Lamp absolutely despises being marked. It's been hoarding every single Mermaid Curse meant for me inside itself just to keep me safe. Haha... right?
Buzz!
The internal laughter died instantly. His soul violently trembled as the dam broke. The accumulated blue, aura-like mana from the gathered Mermaid Curses suddenly erupted from the Soul Lamp, flooding his soul and bloodstream like a fire hydrant unleashed at full pressure.
Terror gripped him as he watched his physical form rapidly mutate. From the waist down, his human legs fused and elongated, scales rippling into existence until a magnificent, sky-blue merman tail took their place.
Simultaneously, a massive torrent of racial knowledge burned into his mind. He instantly grasped the innate mechanics of his new form. He possessed the ability to shift between forms at will, but more importantly, he had unlocked the passive traits of a Swift Knight. Whenever he was submerged, touching, or in any way contacting a body of water—even something as small as a bathtub—his physical strength would increase exponentially.
Furthermore, he could now breathe underwater indefinitely, swim entirely free of water resistance with or without his tail, and possessed absolute immunity to all water-based attacks, mirroring a Dragon's natural elemental resistances.
Damnit, Loki thought, half-amused and half-appalled. I’m part fish.
Before he could process the transformation further, a pair of slender hands gripped his shoulders. Soft, demanding lips pressed firmly against his own, forcing his eyes wide open.
A pair of shocked, sapphire-blue eyes stared directly into his single exposed eye—the other covered by the black silk eye patch that doubled as his magical disguise cloak.
Queen Atlantis Blue was ravaging his mouth with her tongue, driven by a sudden, overwhelming passion that caught him completely off guard. He instinctively went to uncross his legs to adjust his posture, only to freeze. The sky-blue scales had receded, but they were currently shifting into a sky-grey hue.
Gently grasping her shoulders, Loki leaned back slightly to break the kiss. He offered a sheepish, defensive cough.
"Sorry, you weren't supposed to see that, cough."
As the Queen watched the remaining sky-grey scales dissolve back into a pair of perfectly normal human legs, Loki's mind raced. He obviously couldn't tell her that he had just mutated into a Merman by absorbing an absolute overload of Mermaid STDs and curses. A master of deception, his mind immediately spun a grand lie to fit the local mythology perfectly.
"I lied, I am Neptune reincarnated, and I fell in love with you, my Mermaid Queen. So I came here to make you mine. Please don't expose me, especially to the Emperor."
The Queen’s pupils dilated instantly. A fierce crimson blush crept up her sun-kissed cheeks. According to ancient Mermaid legend, the entire race belonged explicitly to Neptune. In her eyes, the myth had just walked right into her bedchamber.
Loki felt a brief, passing pang of guilt for effectively hijacking the actual Poseidon's promised harem—but the ancient god was late, and he was already here.
Sara reached up, her trembling fingers tracing the contour of his face as she whispered, "Why did you wait so long to tell me?"
Loki let his chaotic mouth spin the lie further. "I didn't get my memories back till you touched me this morning, then I remembered who I was. Now what are you waiting for, we have to mate, right?"
Thump.
With a sudden surge of desire, the Queen pushed Loki flat onto his back and straddled his hips. She bit her lower lip, her gaze burning with absolute submission and raw hunger.
"My real name is Sara Blue... Just call me Sara when alone, Owen. You are the only person alive now who knows my true name."
Before Loki could reply, Sara lined herself up and sank down with a single, aggressive downward thrust. She took the entirety of his rigid length into her heat, driving him straight to her core in one fluid motion.
"Hiss~! Sara, that feels..."
"King Neptune, I am here... Please claim me."
Slosh Slosh~
As Sara rose and fell rhythmically upon his erection, there was no sound of creaking bed springs. Instead, the surface of the massive pool erupted into violent waves, the sea-silk waterbed flexing and cushioning their fierce, rhythmic coupling. The Queen was relentless, moving with desperate intensity.
She wanted to ensure her divine king experienced maximum pleasure as quickly as mermaidly possible, eager to have him paint her insides white and absorb the potent 9th Circle Mermaid curse native to her bloodline—a tier of power that capped out at the 8th Circle for all other members of her race.
Mwah~
Her long, pristine white hair dangled over his face and shoulders like a silken curtain. Overwhelmed by the intoxicating friction and her aggressive pace, Loki reached up, cupped the back of her head, and pulled her down into a deep, bruising kiss.
His hand anchored firmly around her slim, taut waist. Lifting his hips, he met her frantic downward thrusts with equal force. A sudden rush of power surged through his veins; his newly acquired Merman physiology was actively absorbing the ambient energy from the waterbed beneath them, lending him tireless stamina.
As his mind began to drift into a euphoric, watery haze of pleasure, his mouth moved on pure instinct. "I love you, and Sara, I am cumming~!"
At those words, a single, genuine tear slipped from Sara's eye, deeply moved by the realization that she was finally being thoroughly inseminated by this god-like entity.
As Loki drove himself upward one final time, burying himself to the absolute hilt to discharge his hot essence deep within her womb, that stray tear fell perfectly onto the Chronos Heart Jewel.
Instantly, a brilliant golden glow erupted from the artifact, swirling around them like a vortex. A sudden, supernatural chill from Sara's body flooded his system. For a terrifying split second, his heartbeat froze and his blood stopped pumping as the fundamental laws of time locked their profound, intimate connection in place.
Around them, the world died. Both Sara and Loki could perceive the abstract flow of time, but their immediate surroundings were utterly frozen. The sharp, overwhelming peak of their simultaneous climax was forcefully arrested mid-explosion, extending the fleeting instant of supreme pleasure into an artificial, endless loop of absolute bliss.
Seeing the sudden panic flaring in Sara's wide, frozen eyes, Loki projected his consciousness directly into her thoughts.
[Sara, don't panic, this is currently my power at work, give me a moment to fix it.]
The experience was overwhelming for the Queen. Caught between the shock of a telepathic voice and the terrifying reality of time itself stopping, her body was simultaneously subjected to a continuous, unending epileptic climax.
Loki focused inward, analyzing the phenomenon. The Chronos Heart Jewel was clearly the primary catalyst for this temporal anomaly, triggered by the historical first of a 9th Circle Mermaid coupling with a mutated Half-Merman. However, his own body—and likely Puck's influence—played a massive role, as pure Time element magic and mana were currently carving new pathways through his veins and bones.
He took a brief moment to meditate, though he nearly cursed himself when he realized what was happening. The newly awakened Time element was actively anchoring itself into his active 8th Circle Death and Ice core. He had desperately wanted it to fuse with his Life core, but there was no medicine for regret; the magical pathways were already cementing.
To Loki, the internal calibration felt relatively brief, but for Sara, who remained trapped at the absolute peak of an agonizingly intense orgasm, the duration felt like an eternity.
When he finally opened his eyes, he released the localized temporal hold. Time snapped back into motion.
The immediate relief on Sara's face was instantly replaced by the delayed physical toll of the prolonged anomaly. Her body went into violent, twitching spasms as the accumulated pleasure washed over her nervous system all at once. Loki could only smile with deep satisfaction, wrapping his arms tightly around her trembling form as he held her close. The master trickster had just successfully stolen yet another literal Queen right out from under Nuo Fu's nose.
As her tremors finally subsided, Sara clung to his chest, her breath coming in ragged, exhausted gasps.
"King Neptune, what was that? Why did my Time mana freeze?"
Loki raised a single finger before her face. A small, sky-silver magical circle bloomed into existence at his fingertip as he quietly cast his newly acquired spell: "Greater Time and Space Utility."
A miniature, glowing projection manifested in the air, playing back a crystal-clear memory image of her face flushed in the throws of her frozen passion. Sara blushed furiously at the sight, but the sheer magical feat quickly replaced her embarrassment with sheer awe.
"You! You can use both Death and now Time magic?! That is amazing! Tomorrow King Neptune, you need to enter the trial and retrieve your magical Trident!"
Loki didn't answer right away. Instead, he reached out, untied the Chronos Heart Jewel from his own neck, and gently fastened it back around hers.
As Sara looked at him in surprise, he offered a low, dangerous smile. "It looks better on you than me, now I still have the entire night that you promised, right?"
Rustle~
With a sudden shift of his weight, Loki rolled her over onto her back, pinning her thighs beneath his own. He slowly, deliberately guided his reawakened length back inside her heat, refusing to let the encounter end with just a single round. He wanted this woman thoroughly broken in, ensuring she would recognize exactly who he was no matter what face or disguise he chose to wear in the future.
"Ah~ Be gentle, my King Neptune, you can have more than a single night, they all belong to you now.."
Loki leaned down, matching her submission with a gentle yet unyielding rhythm. For the remainder of the night, he thoroughly explored the depths of Atlantis Blue's royal quarters, completely mapping out her hidden treasures until he had firmly captured the Queen's heart.
