(3rd POV)

— The Next Day —

Today was the day of the chief assembly, and Cain was in his room trying to get ready to leave. The pink-haired Shuuki was making things incredibly difficult for him, rubbing his member and whispering all sorts of naughty things seductively into his ear—things that would make most men fold.

"Do you really have to go, darling? Wouldn't you rather stay here and breed and discipline your disobedient little slave?" Her voice, alluring and hypnotic, and the way her breath tickled his ear nearly made him shudder.

Cain had to muster every ounce of willpower he had to resist the urge to tear off her clothes and fucking the brains out of the pink-haired Shuuki. Every dirty word she uttered, and even the simplest brush of her fingers against his skin, sent waves of desire coursing through him. He couldn't help but wonder if Zero was part succubus or something, given the way she effortlessly got him hot and bothered. Nevertheless, despite her relentless attempts to entice him to stay and fuck again, Cain somehow managed to get dressed.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll definitely be punishing you," he growled playfully, grabbing Zero by the throat, which elicited a pleased gasp from her. He kissed her fiercely, igniting sultry moans from the humanoid Shuuki. But before she could respond, Cain broke the kiss and smirked at her. "But that'll have to wait until I get back." He released her and headed for the door, leaving a sexually frustrated Zero behind.

"FUUUUU—" she began, but Cain closed the door before she could finish.

He quickly made his way to the front door, where Kyoka was tapping her foot impatiently, clearly annoyed. "Sorry I took so long. Zero was making it really difficult for me to leave."

The silver-haired chief shot him a dirty look at the mention of the pink-haired Shuuki before she turned away.

"I bet," she retorted, anger and jealousy evident in her tone. Before Cain could say anything back, she added, "When we get to the assembly, try not to get too friendly with any more women, alright?"

Cain smirked at her, a playful glint in his eye. "I'll try, but I can't make any promises."

- ADC HQ -

As the duo approached the entrance of ADC HQ, they came to a halt when a young woman stepped forward to greet Kyoka.

The woman was tall with long, dark yellow hair that sported three striking black lightning bolt lines on the sides. She had orange eyes, fair skin, and a well-endowed figure. She wore an open navy blue military coat that exposed her torso, wrapped in white wrapping, along with a cap adorned with vibrant red highlights, sleek white gloves, baggy pants, and calf-high boots. Earrings and a black collar completed her look.

"Hey, Kyoka! You're late as shit!!"

"Who are you?" Cain questioned curiously.

The woman narrowed her eyes at Cain and then grinned ferally. "I'm Mira Kamiunten, the chief of the second unit! You must be Cain." She stepped closer, unabashedly checking him out from head to toe. "You're even hotter up close. It's a shame you're stuck in the 7th Unit. We could've had a lot of fun together." She winked at him before turning her attention back to Kyoka. "I heard you finally got your revenge! Congrats!" She invaded Kyoka's personal space. "But don't let that go to your head. I'm still way fucking stronger than you, and the commander's seat will be mine."

Kyoka narrowed her eyes. "No, it will be mine."

They held an intense stare-off for several seconds, the air thick with tension, until Cain, clearly amused, interjected, "If you two are done with your imaginary dick-measuring contest, let's head inside." He turned and walked into the building.

"I like him," Mira said. "He has quite the pair of balls to talk like that to his superiors."

"You have no idea. It can get irritating at times." Kyoka let out an exasperated sigh, though her lips curled into a fond smile. "But that's what I love about him," she muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" Kyoka's face flushed slightly as she brushed past Mira. "I'm heading in."

The silver-haired beauty quickly caught up with Cain, and as they made their way toward the conference room, they noticed a blue-haired woman in an ADC uniform pacing nervously by the door.

Cain recognized her as the same person who had been sitting next to the woman, whom he assumed was the ADC commander.

"Bell," Kyoka said, causing the woman now identified as Bell to jump and let out a terrified squeak. "Aren't you going into the conference room?"

"Well, y-you see..." Bell began, explaining that a significant portion of her unit had been killed and that she was absolutely terrified of being ridiculed by the commander.

Kyoka did her best to comfort Bell while Cain looked at her sympathetically. However, he also regarded her with a hint of disgust; Bell seemed quite pathetic for a chief.

'How does someone like her even make it into the ADC, much less become a chief?' Cain thought, perplexed.

He didn't fault her for being upset about the loss of her unit; that was understandable. No, he was disappointed in her overall behavior. It wasn't the attitude of a soldier but of a coward, and he had little tolerance for cowards.

Cain was pulled from his thoughts as they finally entered the conference room, where all the occupants turned to greet the chiefs. Ignoring them, his gaze settled on a pair of familiar violet eyes at the end of the table, and a grin formed on his lips.

'Fucking called it.'

Once all the chiefs were seated, the meeting began.

"Starting with the 1st unit," Ren said.

An older woman in the ADC uniform raised her hand. "I've stepped down from my role as chief," she announced, which wasn't surprising given the circumstances.

"Ah, that sucks," Mira commented, visibly displeased. "Are you sure you can't stay a bit longer, Riu-san? I'm sure you can still kick ass."

The woman, now known as Riu, shook her head firmly. "I'm afraid not. I'm getting too old to be out in the field. Besides, it's time for the younger generation to shine." She ruffled the hair of the individual sitting next to her. "Now greet them again. Got it?"

The young woman stood and introduced herself. "I'm Konomi Tatara! I'm twenty years old and still inexperienced, but I promise I'll do my best!" She then bowed.

"Konomi is my prized student whom I trained thoroughly—"

Cain noticed the young woman shudder slightly at Riu's words, piquing his interest.

'What kind of training did she put her through to make her react like that?' He'd have to ask about it after the meeting.

"—She has the talent to become the next commander in the future. That is without a doubt," Riu said, pride evident in her tone.

This statement triggered a chain reaction, with all the chiefs declaring themselves as the next commander, leading to a full-blown argument among them. Cain, Tenka, Bell, and Varvara were the only ones not participating in the verbal clash. After a few minutes, the argument finally subsided, and Ren continued the meeting.

"Well then, let's get to the main topic." With a snap of her fingers, a holographic image of the humanoid Shuuki appeared. "These individuals call themselves the Nine Thundergods, but due to some recent developments..." She sent Cain a pointed glance. "It would be more appropriate to call them the Eight Thunder Gods, and their goal is to destroy humanity."

"How fucking original," Mira muttered, rolling her eyes.

Cain had to agree with Mira; the destruction of humanity was overused and lazy as fuck.

Ren zoomed in on Shikoku. "The purple-haired one is responsible for eliminating a significant portion of the 3rd Unit." Bell flinched at the mention of her unit's casualties. "This one—" The image shifted to Jouryuu. "—is responsible for taking and killing multiple members of the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th units." The image then switched to Rairen. "Tenka defeated this one, though it's unclear if he's dead." The image changed to Zero. "And this one was defeated and became Cain's slave."

"How the fuck did you even manage that?" Mira questioned, and everyone except Kyoka and Tenka turned to look at him expectantly.

Cain smirked proudly and answered vaguely, "Let's just say I was very persuasive."

Everyone but Riu, Kyoka, and Tenka blushed, quickly figuring out what he meant by being persuasive with his smile and tone.

"Oh my," Fubuki placed her hand over her mouth and laughed softly.

'How good is he that he can make someone turn against their own?' Yakumo thought, her eyes gleaming mischievously. A hungry smile appeared on her lips. 'Guess there's only one way to find out.'

"How lewd," Varvara commented, looking at him with a mix of disgust and curiosity.

Riu chuckled and shook her head. "Well, that's certainly one way to convince someone to switch sides."

"Holy shit..." Mira looked at Cain in disbelief. "You're fucking crazy..." She grinned. "I like it!"

"A-anyways," Ren coughed, wanting to steer the conversation back to the subject at hand. "The main takeaway is that a chief can defeat these supposed gods. If one of the eight appears, the chiefs must work together. No exceptions and no slacking." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Also, before this meeting ends, Bell, you'll undergo special training after we're done here." A sadistic smile appeared on the commander's lips.

Bell visibly paled and cried out. "What?!"

"Relax." Ren rested her chin on her fists, clearly amused by Bell's despair. "We'll train within Ginna's barriers, so no matter how severe your injuries get, they'll be healed instantly," she reassured, which only caused Bell to pale further in horror.

"There's something I wish to discuss." Kyoka stood up.

Ren turned her attention to the silver-haired woman. "And that is?"

"It's not enough just to attack our enemies as they come. We need to find a way to destroy the Eight Thundergods and the Shuuki once and for all."

Ren sighed. "I understand your concerns, Uzen-san, but my strategy has worked well so far, as the number of Mato disaster victims has decreased significantly, proving my methods are effective. Besides..." Her expression turned distant. "There's still a lot we don't know about the Enemy and the demonic dimensions."

Kyoka clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. 'So the policy really won't change...'

"Was that all?" Ren asked, looking slightly impatient.

"Yes."

"Next is you." Ren made direct eye contact with Cain.

"Sup," Cain said, giving everyone the peace sign with a smirk.

"The sole man of the ADC, and a necessary component of Kyoka's ability, Slave. Little is known about you or how you acquired your power. However, one thing is certain: you have a crucial role to play in all of this." A knowing glint appeared in her stunning violet eyes, causing Cain's gaze to narrow slightly.

Before anything else could be said, Ginna burst through the door, a look of urgency on her face. "Ren-sama! It's an emergency! A large Shuuki army is marching towards the tenth unit!" All the chiefs tensed and stood from their seats, ready to face the enemy head-on.

Except for Bell, who panicked. "T-There are so many of them!"

To everyone's surprise, Yakumo grabbed Bell's ass, causing the blue-haired woman to jump back in shock, her face turning beet red.

"Relax, Bell-Tan!" Yakumo chirped playfully.

"Ahhh!! What the fuck!"

Yakumo then pressed her body against Bell's, grabbing and squeezing her right breast while keeping her other hand on her ass. The sudden stimulation made the chief of the 3rd Unit let out an involuntary moan.

Everyone but Cain and Riu stared in disbelief, while others, like Konomi, blushed furiously. Riu just shook her head, muttering about the oddness of this generation, while Cain burned the image into his memory.

"That's pretty hot," Cain commented, earning glares from everyone, especially Kyoka and Tenka, who looked ready to explode.

Yakumo suddenly appeared in front of Cain, her gaze sultry. "Oh? Would you like something similar, big boy?" she asked seductively, getting dangerously close to him.

However, before she could do anything more, Kyoka and Tenka stepped in front of him, glaring at the raven-haired woman.

"Back off," they said simultaneously, their voices low and threatening.

"Damn, you two are no fun," Yakumo playfully pouted before stepping back with a mischievous glint in her eye. 'I'll get him next time.'

While all this unfolded, Ren was deep in thought. 'A large Shuuki army is approaching during the assembly... something feels off.' Her gaze landed on Cain, and her lips stretched into a smile. "Cain," she called, and he looked at her. "I want you, along with Konomi, Mira, Yakumo, and Fubuki, to intercept them. The rest of us will observe the enemy's movements from a safe distance."

"Yes, ma'am," Konomi, Mira, Yakumo, and Fubuki shouted in unison.

Cain glanced at Kyoka, and she nodded. "Alright. Let's go kick some Shuuki ass!" He headed toward the nearest window and jumped out.

Cain swiftly intercepted the Shuuki army. As he approached, he transformed into his fourth form. Within minutes, the once-mighty army of extra-dimensional creatures was completely decimated, and the chiefs swiftly eliminated the Shuuki that survived Cain's onslaught. When the battlefield fell silent and all the Shuuki were confirmed dead, Cain reverted to his original form and headed back to join the others.

"Oi, what the fuck?!" Mira cursed, glaring daggers at Cain. "You got all the kills!"

Cain smirked. "Not my fault; you four were just too slow to keep up," he teased, prompting an annoyed growl from the dirty blonde.

"Fuck you! I wasn't slow! You're just as fast as shit and turned into a fucking dragon!! That's all kinds of bullshit right there!!"

"Eh, you're not wrong." Cain then sensed five individuals about two and a half miles to the south and narrowed his eyes. "You guys should head back."

"Where are you going?" Konomi asked.

"There are still enemies around. I'm going to take care of the rest." He transformed into his third form and took to the sky, heading south.

"Fuck! I'm so jealous! I want to turn into a dragon, too!"

.

"Alright, let's start the second wave of Shuuki!" said a chubby woman.

"Make sure they actually reach their base this time," replied a muscular woman sporting a mullet. "Don't waste my bombing ability."

Just as the chubby woman was about to initiate the next wave, a bullet shattered her laptop, and everyone turned in shock to see Cain aiming his handgun at them, his expression cold.

"So, you're the ones who sent the Shuuki army to ADC HQ, huh?" He switched his handgun from regular rounds to stun rounds with a practiced flick of his wrist. "Honestly, I'm not impressed." Before anyone could even process what was happening, he rendered them all unconscious in one swift motion. Sensing Ren approaching, he holstered his handgun. "You're a bit late, Commander. The enemies have already been dealt with," he said teasingly, turning to face her.

Ren took a glance at the unconscious bodies scattered around, then looked back at Cain. "How unfortunate," she feigned a sigh of disappointment before breaking into a smile. "And here I was, hoping for a little fun… So, Subject Zero, how are you faring in the ADC?" Her smile turned smug.

Cain stiffened slightly at the mention of his codename but quickly regained his composure. "I figured someone in your position would know exactly who I am."

"To be fair, I had to do quite a bit of digging to uncover anything about you," she admitted, her tone shifting. "But once I did, I knew I had to have you in the ADC, despite my personal beliefs." Her smile became genuine. "And so far, you haven't disappointed me. Unlike a certain someone..." A frown crossed her pretty face at the mention of the individual.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that she was referring to Bell.

"I live to please," Cain joked, then his expression turned serious. "Just a heads-up: Eden will be coming for me soon, so I apologize in advance for any damage caused."

Ren's frown deepened at the mention of Eden. "Just keep civilian casualties to a minimum, and if you need assistance, don't hesitate to let me know."

Cain nodded. "I'll keep that in mind." He then transformed into his third form, spreading his wings wide before taking off into the sky.

Ren watched him soar into the clouds, a longing and sadistic gleam sparkling in her eyes as she smiled ominously. "Oh, Cain, I don't care who you are. I'm going to make you my dog one way or another."

And once she does, they'll have many, many puppies together.

End.
