Chapter 24: Venus Complex
Mika sighed, his thoughts drifting to the behavior Charlotte was displaying, a behavior he’d seen before, not just in her but in her sisters, all burdened with SSS-tier blessings that their young bodies struggled to contain.
It wasn’t just lust, though the intensity of her actions screamed desire, it was a side effect of their overwhelming power, a phenomenon he’d dubbed the ’Venus Complex’, after the goddess of love and beauty, whose radiance set her above all others.
The daughters, and even their mothers, carried such immense power that their human vessels, still immature, couldn’t fully stabilize it.
In moments of emotional overload, relief, love, fear, their power leaked out, manifesting as a God Complex, a fleeting belief that they were above everyone else, their desires unrestrained, their actions unbound by moral limits.
For Charlotte, this meant her love for Mika, her gratitude for his heroism, spilled over into this fervent, lustful devotion, her need to be close to him overriding all else.
If her deepest desire had been violence, she’d be on a rampage, blood on her hands instead of his fingers in her mouth.
Thankfully, the daughters desires leaned toward devotion, not destruction, making these episodes easier to manage, though no less intense.
Also, only those with SSS-tier blessings, ten in the world, the five daughters and their mothers, exhibited this, along with a few SS-tier individuals in their younger years.
Mika had studied it, seen it in action, and knew it was why Charlotte was acting this way, her heart’s desire to be intimate with him pouring out without restraint, her power amplifying her emotions into this sultry, unrestrained display.
His hand was now soaked, warm and gooey with her saliva, and he grimaced, his voice tinged with exasperation as he glanced at her.
"Charlotte, my hand’s a mess. I need to wipe this off or something."
But before he could reach for a tissue, Charlotte pulled his hand from her mouth with a soft, wet pop, her lips glistening, her eyes glowing with a pinkish hue, her expression one of unsatisfied hunger.
