Limitless The Strongest Revenant

[How in the world?]

Hearing the dumbfounded comment of [Maestro] I was just as surprised. I honestly thought that since I couldn't out think Jo, I should just come clean. And when I did, my Shooting star flashed me her most gorgeous smile.

I was about to ask when Jo placed her finger on my lips. Jo had a mischievous look before pulling me in for a kiss. In contrast to her usual passion, the way we kissed was slow and tender. As if all we wanted was to know we were not alone.

When we separated, Jo began to explain. "Darling, you know what the problem is with being so smart?"

"I honestly don't."

"It's learning that many of the people you meet lie, cheat and steal. That there are those that put on masks all to create acts. Just so they can manipulate others into doing what they want."

"Oh." Guilt filled me as I did the exact same thing to Jas, Robyn and Bella.

"This is why I love you, Darling."

"Because I am stupid?"

"Hehe. Of course not. You are not stupid, Darling. You are just simple minded. You do not lie, mean what you say and are absolutely crazy. You are everything I wanted in a man and more."

"But, I do bad stuff too, Jo. Like I said I am no saint."

"Yep. To most people you are an asshole. Maybe even a demon. But to me. You are the one I love. And I am so happy, I got the chance. Meeting and falling for you is the one thing in this world I will never regret."

Jo then leaned in again and kissed me. Her clear and green eyes sucked me in. Like emerald oceans they called to me. Unknowingly I spaced out just admiring my Darling's eyes. I only noticed when Jo kiss the tip of my nose before resting her head on my shoulder.

"Darling, you know, everything you said earlier was wrong. I may be smart but thats about it. My boobs are smaller than Liv or Lilly. I am not cute like Robyn or Bella. My ass is flatter than Jas. And I can't be as flirty as Aki is no matter what I do."

"But…"

Jo then gripped my hands as she cried out in a trembling voice.

"Please just listen Darling. I need to get this out of my chest."

"…"

When Jo noticed that I stayed silent, she continued, "It would have been amazing if I could monopolize you. There were so many times I wished for that to be true. But I know that it can't. Maybe that was why you ended up killing me in our past lives."

The moment those words left her lips, I remembered the terrible vision I saw before. I was holding Jo's lifeless body in my arms. I didn't have the strength to research Perun. Thus among my lives, I actually didn't know anything about my previous life with Jo.

In the vision, she had a hole in her chest and was covered in blood. Even in now I felt the agony of my previous life as he repeated the words "I'm so sorry." Over and over again. I couldn't imagine what I would do if that happened to me in this life.

I unconsciously gripped my Italian lovers hand in reflex. Jo said nothing and continued.

"You know right? How Jas and I did everything the Reapers wanted. And in the end, they just left us to die. I have since been scared. What would happen if you didn't want me anymore? Even if I disappeared, you still had the other Sirens. That thought broke me."

As Jo laid her heart out, I tensed my body. I clenched my jaw so much I heard my teeth grind together. My {Kindred} who noticed began to rub my bicep as she tried to calm me down.

"I am not blaming you Darling. Its just that we all love you. And this is the cost. Anyway, I figured so long as I remain useful you would never throw me away. I know you never would, you said the same thing to Robyn. But in my mind I always thought that.

"So I tried to see what I could offer you. But sadly I didn't have much. In terms of raw soul power, no one could beat Robyn. In a contest of physiques, Liv was far superior. Bella could grow and manage Hellsend better than I ever could.

"Lilly had more resources and connections. Jas could see the future. Even in just killing people, Aki was just far better. I was nothing. All my effort. It all amounted to nothing. So when you said you still needed me. That it had to be me. I was…Happy."

Overwhelmed by the depressing things that came out of my woman I pulled her towards my chest and hugged her. They often said the happiest people hid the deepest wounds. Who knew that behind Jo's unending energy she saw herself like this.

"I need you Jo. No one can replace you. I just…"

"I know Darling. When you stopped trying to trick and instead just told me you needed me. I knew I was being stupid. I know why you chose to do things yourself. I am sure Bella, Jas and Lilly do too. Hehe only Liv and Robyn probably don't. Aki is a unique case."

I didn't say anything and only hugged her tighter. This was caused by Jo's insecurities and mental issues. I thought I already did enough. Against my nature, I praised and showered them with affection. But Jo still ended up feeling this way. I was a fucking failure.

"Darling, stop it. You are not at fault. Our link is still closed but I can feel how depressed you are. Anyway you 'won' over me. So take me out like you did the others. Sorry for whining and thank you for listening. I am okay now. I love you!" Jo added.

Her eyes changed colors to red as she snatched my lips. Vela's voice echoed beside us despite her sucking lewdly on my tongue. "Exa, do it."

'Activating {Sins of Limitless}.'

My {Kindred} staggered as her body rapidly grew weak. Vela then smiled as she licked my cheek. "To defeat us by kissing. If you told me this earlier, I would have beaten Jo to the ground myself."

"Thanks Darling."

Jo's body then surrendered her weight to me and lost consciousness. With both Jo and Aki also out. There was only Liv and Lilly. I noticed an approaching soulless unit and handed Jo to them to deliver outside.

[Everyone else is moving to support Monday, I will support Tuesday. We will be leaving Lilly for last.]

"Got it," I replied as Thursday moved to line up a shot on Liv.

"Ugh!"

I kept my body low as I protected my mid-section. Like the other girls Liv was fucking relentless. Having six arms she absolutely pummeled me. My soul armor broke over ten times. [Defender] had near unbeatable defense, but this discipline was slow as hell.

As payment for being able to tank hits, Monday's body felt sluggish compared to the others. Or perhaps the reason I felt that way was because Liv was absolutely beating the crap out of me.

Exa's hierarchy placed Liv at the top. With a body at the strength of a 15th generation Descendant it made sense. Supposedly this was due to a mix of her own heritage and the Northern Ceremony. As I understood more, I began to become able to gauge the absurd power of her frame.

For reference anything above 7th generations were already the realm of Specters. That meant that once Reapers copulated with each other for at least 175 years straight, you would gain power beyond the limits of Phantoms.

'No wonder the Europeans were so fucking obsessed with bloodlines and incest.'

It was no secret that many countries in Europe, specifically those who had aristocracies had a thing for incest. They kept saying shit about it was to keep bloodlines pure. However the results of their behaviors mutilated and deformed their kids eventually causing them to die out.

What if the reason they acted that way was because they saw someone else do it? Unlike humans, Reapers had no issue with deformities, at least I didn't know if there were. Even in mythology, all stories began with a pair of beings making kids and marrying them off.

If all those deities were Reapers, then it seemed to make sense. I mean, despite Liv only being a Phantom she could probably beat the crap out of any first-generation Specter. It was not a manner of skill; the power of compounded bloodlines was really just that strong.
