Descend- Bursting Out: A litrpg adventure

by David Burke

  “Not, yet, wife. Our fused self needs you and I need you to pay your bet. So will you do that little whatever I ask of you?”

  Amelia was so far gone in her own pleasure and likely the waves he had been projecting off of himself that she just nodded. Then mumbled, “Anything for you, husband.”

  He carried her over next to Trina and said, “No not for me. For her. You two need to get along so this fusion can take effect.”

  For a second, Jay thought Amelia was gonna refuse but then shocked him by leaning in and kissing Trina full on the mouth. Even the minute of rest had allowed Trina to start recuperating. Her regenerative powers and modified body might not be as impressive as Jay’s but she was recovered enough to roll over onto her side into Amelia.

  Now it was Jay’s turn to sit back and watch the show. Fuck, if there was anything quite as hot as watching two gorgeous girls enjoying each other. Oh sure, he wanted to jump in but he also knew that they needed to cross this bridge on their own. Besides he was sure he would be invited in shortly.

  The contrast between their skins was a delightful visual display as was the sight of Trina’s lips on Amelia’s gorgeous breasts. Then the sound that the blonde’s fingers made when she shoved them into Trina’s completely cum filled pussy was another thrill. As was the widening of Amelia’s eyes when she felt it oozing out all over her hand.

  It wasn’t long before they were both grinding against each other’s fingers. Their bodies moving in a tantalizing dance. Amelia’s leg was flung over Trina’s and the latter’s beautiful caramel skin was squeezed up between a pair of breasts that she was eagerly devouring. It was pushing Jay to new levels of desire and those waves rocked off of him.

  Both of the girls seemed to take immediate notice. They sat up and Amelia said, “Oh, it looks like somebody likes what he sees.”

  Trina adopted the same wicked grin that he had seen on several of his wives. He had to assume they went to school or something to make that exact expression but it still promised delights every time he saw it. She replied, “It does look like that, but not sure that we should let him join in. I am starting to really like you.”

  Amelia almost looked like she was gonna blush before she said, “This is definitely more fun than fighting.” Then she leaned back in and they resumed kissing and she began tribbing against Trina’s leg.

  In the same moment that he saw them start to shudder in a mutual orgasm, Jay got a notification about the fusion. It apparently had gone through and Trina absorbed a bunch of powers from all of the fuses at once while also passing out her own. Jay got a Metabolism skill called Necrotic Absorption from Trina. He assumed that had something to do with how she was able to take hits from the Forlorn weapons, but didn’t care enough to worry about it now.

  Both girls sat up on the table, revitalized from the way that their bodies had just adapted to the fusion. Trina especially was renewed as she gained hundreds of stat points to even out with the other fuses. She practically glowed with the added energy.

  Jay looked at them and said, “Time for round two.”

  “Oh, look at you, husband. I have to admit that I sorta like it when you get commanding like this,” Amelia responded playfully.

  “I hope so, cause I made a mess and now I need you to clean it up.”

  Her eyebrows shot up but apparently Trina caught on faster because she giggled, “That sounds like a lovely idea.” Then she laid back with her pussy at the edge of the table, still oozing Jay’s cum.”

  Misunderstanding, Amelia said, “Hey, you don’t get him to fuck you again, it’s my turn.”

  Jay picked Amelia up and spun her around so that her feet were on the ground and she was facing the table between Trina’s spread legs. He whispered in her ear, “That’s right, its my turn to fuck you, but you get to clean up my mess.” Then he pushed her forward gently until she was bent over the table with her face buried in the sloppy mess in front of her.

  Behind her, Jay pushed into her already wet and waiting pussy. The sounds she made while trying to moan with her mouth buried between Trina’s legs was priceless. “Ohhh fcckgk thssis sssoo gooodd.”

  As Jay set up a rhythm and saw these two girls who had been at each other's throats engaged in such a decadent display, he couldn’t help but grin. It truly was good to be the king.

  Interlude 6- When the Heavens Shake

  The initial ships had made it through the mine field without triggering them. Cleverly the mines had not gone off until the larger vessels tried to move through. Even in multi-dimensional space, it was impossible to get around the zero-point energy mines.

  As the cruisers had started to move through, the mines exploded, ripping holes in the fabric of space of hundreds of thousands of miles in all directions. When thousands of mines were involved it became quite devastating. Still it had been some time since the last of the mines and the remainder of the armada was moving slowly as spread out as possible so as not to have more than one ship caught in a mine.

  Caj was frustrated. The sheer number of mines that the enemy had dedicated to protecting this one outpost seemed out of proportion, even to the value of a leviathan. Their source of information had put the number of the deadly weapons at less than a tenth of the ones here.

  If he didn’t miss his guess, there had been more zero point mines crammed into this area than any sector protecting the A’snkarnt home world. Yet neither their source nor any of the intercepted communications had suggested anything like that. It was almost as though even the A’snkarnt didn’t know the level of defenses that had been put in place to protect this tiny solar system.

  Still it didn’t matter. The planet the humans called Saturn was nothing but debris floating in the void of space. And while the series of explosions had made it impossible for their ships to jump into hyperspace he still had a dozen battleships and more than thirty cruisers at his disposal. Caj knew that was more than enough to destroy the leviathan.

  Truthfully, he still expected another ring of defenses, but most likely pulse cannons. The only logical place to put them would be in the asteroid belt surrounding the red planet nearest to the humans’ former home world. It was unlikely that the deadly mines would be deployed that close to the leviathan. Rips in subspace would prevent its communication as well as likely keeping it from fleeing.

  The biggest question to Caj was why the leviathan had not already departed. Yes, leaving likely was not going to save them. Now that they knew its location the Forlorn armada would track it relentlessly. The A’snkarnt knew that but they had never been worried about running in the past. It was typically their way to do anything to avoid conflict.

  It was better though if they didn’t have to chase the ship down. The humans had an expression he had picked up from some of the old radio signals they had listened to. Shooting fish in a barrel, or something like that. Caj would enjoy the completion of his task.

  Then a warning sensor went off. The command ship was passing the gas giant planet, fifth from the star at the center of this small system. Some strange energy fluctuations were being detected.

  As he directed his attention to the readings, Caj cursed. Something most un-Forlorn like but still he felt it was appropriate. He never would have guessed that the enemy would have used this weapon to defend such a backwater system. There had been no inkling of it. To have even moved such a weapon into place would have left trails. It must have been put here thousands of years ago or they would have detected evidence of its placement.

  There was nothing to be done. The power went out on the ships as they were buffeted by an explosion that shredded the giant planet that housed it. Even the drones and soldiers were dead in an instant. The commanders and he had a bit more protection with internal power supplies but it wouldn’t matter.

  The explosion of force fell back on itself and all of his ships were caught in the event horizon of a newly forming black hole. Most were crushed by the whiplashing force of the explosion sucking back in on itself. The command s
hip was strong enough to endure it but without its fusion generators would have no ability to escape the pull of a new singularity.

  Caj sent out a signal using his own personal energy and hoped that it would be strong enough to reach the other Overminds, but with the damage to subspace in this area, he had serious doubts. They would know that he had failed but not the extreme measures that someone had gone to protect these humans.

  He wondered if even the leviathan would be affected by this. These weapons had only been used once before. Caj and all the other Overminds expected that some would be used for defense of their home world. The one small comfort that he had was that he felt no regret or concern at his impending demise. Such was what it meant to be Forlorn.

  _____________________________________

  Half a billion miles away the effect of the weapon was still felt. The leviathan was buffeted and all power on board went out. D’varn scrambled around trying to understand what was happening. He had possessed no knowledge of the gravity weapon but it made sense. He couldn’t fathom any natural phenomena that could have produced such an effect.

  Power would cycle back on. It was only a matter of time. But for the next few hooman hours the ship would be without power. The question was what havoc would occur during that time. M1789 and the others with him had become increasingly unpredictable. It then dawned on D’varn that the systems of the leviathan would likely reboot when power did come back on. He had planning to do in order to make use of that.

  The last instructions he had received from Coreframe troubled him, had been troubling him for days. Coreframe was always right. For many A’snkarnt like D’varn this was as close to a religion as they had. Yet it hadn’t made any sense to him. Seeing the latest round of changes in M1789 helped convince D’varn that this was for the best.

  He would need to create a diversion. Something that would enable him to accomplish what he needed to do. He thought about the hoomans for a minute and then M1789 specifically. An idea came to him. Yes, as he thought about it, that would work nicely. He moved to the console and accessed some of the reserve power. Now it was in motion.

  Chapter 36 - In the Dark

  The main power systems throughout the leviathan went out as the surge of power from the creation of a new singularity rippled throughout the entire solar system. The shields went down. Life support in most of the ship went down. Defenses went down and still there was an annoying alarm sounding throughout the moon-sized ship as backup power systems went on line.

  Normally the systems would reset but the only two A’snkarnt remaining on the vessel were otherwise occupied. Jay sent out a message and everyone gathered at the tech building. Once the entire cluster was gathered, he started to address them. He realized that they still had sixty newcomers that they hadn’t been able to properly integrate but that would have to wait. His sense of danger was going off overtime and he wasn’t going to start ignoring it now.

  “Okay, first off is everyone safe?” he asked.

  Murmurs rose up all around and when no one said anything to the contrary Jay took that as a positive sign.

  “I don’t know why the power is out but we are going to have to jack into the system and attach our own power sources. From what my scans are showing me, much of the rest of the ship no longer has life support or even artificial gravity. Accordingly we need to first connect into the systems for this floor to stabilize them.

  “Thanks to Ava and Mia we know that one of us can power the systems so we will be creating a team for that and handing out crystals to do so. Then we will also be creating two teams to head for the tenth floor. Hopefully their teleportation technology which kept sending us all over the ship will be disabled and we will actually be able to enter the proper area now.

  “In fact, while I know I’m not the science genius here, I can see one thing clearly. It is time for us to lean into our strengths. We have been building amazing tech and we will keep doing that moving forward, but we need to have a different guiding principle. Instead of technology-based tech, we need to focus on people-based technology.

  No, I don’t mean that in a touchy-feely way. I mean that we, our powers, our evolutions, and our PSI are the most powerful resources that we have available to us. Let’s focus on that and bend the machinery around us to our will.”

  Surprisingly that brought a cheer from the crowd around him. Jay felt as motivated as his words seemed to be making the others.

  “The first team will be to deal with any problems along the way. The second team will be a tech team so that if we can get through to the command deck you will be able to take control of the vessel.”

  He could see that he had everyone's attention but wasn’t intent on asking for questions. This was not a time for leadership by committee.

  “Huong and Jessie, I am leaving you in charge here. Huong, get together a team to stabilize the power supply on this floor. We can’t have it losing life support. Jessie, I want you to create patrols that can deal with the defense here in the event that anything attacks.

  “Trina, Amelia, Meikiyo, Madison, Charlotte, and Bong-Cha you are coming with me as part of team one. Ava, Veronica, Nalani, Sofia, and Faith you will be the science team. Faith, you are with them so that if things go badly you can get them back here.”

  Again there were no questions so he set everyone in motion. Then he did something he hadn’t wanted to do again, but it seemed necessary. He rushed over to Madison and created a tempus fugit field around them.

  “I know this isn’t the way that either of us would have wanted this to happen but I need to ask if you still want to fuse with me,” he said.

  She looked at him as though he had two heads then suddenly nodded. “Oh I get it. You want to power up as many people as possible. That is why you are offering this to me now, you only want to take fused people.”

  “Partially true, but I am taking Veronica and she isn’t fused. She just doesn’t have any interest in that. However, her skill set is needed. So, while that is a part of it, there is also the simple fact that you are a damn sexy woman, who I have fun with and would like to keep around me. Call me selfish but I don’t want to let you go,” Jay said while looking intently into her eyes.

  “God that is all I wanted to hear. Just one last question. What about Charlotte?” Madison asked.

  “So this may not be super romantic but I’m freezing time long enough for us to have an hour to ourselves. Only a fraction of a second will pass outside. Then as soon as I am done here, I have to go proposition Char. I know you two like doing things together, but not willing to risk any fusion screw-ups. Besides remember a long time ago I promised you that you were first,” Jay said.

  “Good, I still would have said yes, but I’m gonna have so much fun being fused to you while she is too. If I understand correctly the two of us will essentially be fused too, right?”

  “Not essentially. The fusion between the girls is just as complete as the fusion with me. I am just sorta the center of the ring if that makes sense,” Jay answered.

  “Great, now stop talking,” Maddy said as she pulled her shirt up.

  Sure enough it wasn’t the most romantic of ways to ask women to spend the rest of their lives with him in a way that was far more irrevocable than marriage. But he had already acknowledged that some of these fusions just needed to happen. In the end less than a couple of seconds had passed and he had managed to spend a full hour of personal time with Maddy, Char, Esseme, Faith, Daphne, and Samantha.

  Most of that time had actually been spent moving between the girls and triggering the tempus fugit fields. It worked though and they all said yes. So, he was now fused with eighteen girls. He felt power surging through him while at the same time the strain of the rapid fusions and temporal manipulations had him feeling a bit off. He would need to take a while to let this fully integrate.

  Both Amelia and Trina gasped as the last of the fusions settled onto them. Because of the way that fusions had an escalating cumulative effec
t these six were all more powerful than any that had come before. He had the luxury of experiencing the fusions inside a time dilation but to them they were hit with six progressively larger surges of energy over a period of two seconds.

  Their bodies were likely barely able to keep up with the changes. Samantha had been the last one and he had raised her Kinesis up to 2,888. It was staggering for them undoubtedly. Each of the girls’ bodies had adapted though and all of his fused were over level one hundred and fifteen with some as high as one hundred and twenty-five.

  They all had combined stats over three thousand with PSI pools over forty-five thousand. It was a staggering amount. He almost felt bad for the new girls who had each gained nineteen new skills, two from him and one from each of their sister fuses. That was until he realized that there were now eighteen women who were fused with him and had passed the sixth threshold with its benefit of mind reading.
