While Ethan spoke with Cao Cao, Ophis and Lilith were communicating in silence. At such close range, they didn't need words or magic; their consciousnesses merged in a way similar to Ethan's soul contracts with Rias and the others, though restricted by physical proximity.
Ophis realized that Lilith's independent personality was fully formed. To force her to merge back into her body would be to extinguish a sentient life—effectively committing infanticide against her own "sister" or "daughter." Ophis abandoned the idea of a forced recovery. She wouldn't sacrifice this girl for a breakthrough, especially since there might be another way.
Ethan looked at the petite, black-haired girl sitting on the sofa. "Lilith... that's what I'll call you from now on. You heard us. What do you want to do?"
Lilith put down her manga and sat up straight. "I understand. I'm going with you."
She didn't reject the name. Ophis had suggested it during their mental link, and she liked it. As long as Ophis didn't try to consume her, they were family—and by extension, so were Ethan and Riveal.
The Hero Faction members looked frustrated. They had wanted to get rid of the "bratty ancestor," but seeing Ethan succeed so easily left a bitter taste in their mouths. Ethan ignored them. Even Cao Cao with his True Longinus was no longer a factor in his eyes.
"Lilith is coming with us," Ethan declared. Before leaving, he offered a piece of advice: "The Khaos Brigade is a dead end. If you want a real fight, grow stronger and head to the Eternal Battlefield. Don't waste your lives as pawns for cowards like Hades."
Without waiting for a response, Ethan activated a teleportation circle. He vanished with the "sisters"—or perhaps "mother and daughters"—leaving a stunned Hero Faction behind.
Back in the coastal dimension, the starry sky remained unchanged. Though they had spent hours in the Underworld and the Human Realm, only a day had passed here.
"So this is where you three have your little orgies?" Lilith asked, her cute face expressionless but her tongue sharp.
She had learned about Riveal from Ophis's memories. While she was shocked by the existence of another Dragon God, she was even more annoyed that Ophis had submitted so easily to Ethan. Lilith was a vengeful little witch, a "bratty sub" in the making.
"What now?" Lilith asked. She knew Ethan wanted to solve Ophis's power plateau, and she was willing to help, but she felt a bit left out.
"You and Ophis figure out the logistics," Ethan said, pulling Riveal away. "It concerns your future growth as much as hers."
While the two clones conferred, Ethan and Riveal didn't waste time. They retreated to the newly conjured villa. Riveal was still hungry for his touch, and they quickly became a tangled mess of limbs on the oversized magical bed.
Meanwhile, Ophis and Lilith reached a conclusion. The bottleneck existed because their "source code" was split. To fix it, they needed to merge their essences temporarily to synchronize, then separate again.
"The best way to do that," Ophis explained, "is through Ethan's dual-cultivation. He can act as a bridge. Our energies will flow into him, mix, and flow back out, balancing our foundations."
Lilith bit her lip. She didn't hate Ethan; in fact, her draconic instincts were already drawn to his scent. "Fine. Let's do it."
Inside the villa, Ethan and Riveal were cooling down when Ophis and Lilith entered. Riveal, sensing the change in atmosphere, smirked. "I've had my fill for now. It's your turn, girls."
Riveal stepped out, leaving Ethan with the two identical black-haired beauties.
"Ethan," Ophis whispered, crawling onto the bed. "Do you want to play with twin lolis? I can change back to my original form."
Ethan felt a surge of adrenaline. He loved the mature, curvaceous Ophis, but the idea of two identical, petite, "legal" dragon lolis was irresistible. Ophis shimmered, shrinking down into her small, flat-chested form. She reached out with a cold, delicate hand and wrapped it around Ethan's burning, iron-hard cock.
The sensation of her tiny hand on his massive dragon made her go weak. Ethan didn't hesitate. He pulled her into a deep, wet kiss, his tongue invading her mouth while his other hand reached between her legs, pushing her black lace panties aside to rub her soaking wet slit.
"Mmm... Ah... Ethan... so fast... slower..." Ophis moaned, her voice a mix of innocence and depravity.
Lilith watched from the side. Because of their mental link, she felt everything Ophis felt. Her face turned bright red, and her own small hand began to wander down to her crotch.
Ethan's fingers entered Ophis's tight, wet tunnel. She gasped, her tiny body arching as she began to stroke him faster with both hands. "Oh... Ethan... it's so big... I'm going to... I'm going to peak!"
As Ophis reached her climax under Ethan's fingers, Lilith collapsed onto her knees, crying out in a phantom orgasm.
Lilith couldn't take it anymore. She crawled over, pushing Ophis aside to take the "big dragon" for herself. She gripped the hot, throbbing shaft, her eyes shimmering with excitement and lust.
"So good..." Ethan groaned, thrusting his hips and using Lilith's small hand like a tight sleeve.
Lilith's legs, encased in black pantyhose, rubbed together. She was already leaking. Ethan leaned in and blew into her ear, making her shiver. He hiked up her skirt and began to peel the black tights down her snowy thighs, revealing her pristine, hairless "little garden."
It was a perfect, pink "button" of a pussy, identical to Ophis's.
"Don't look... it's embarrassing..." Lilith whispered.
Ethan didn't listen. He spread her tiny labia with his thumb, rubbing the sensitive clitoris until she was panting for breath. Ophis watched, a lewd smile on her face, as Ethan toyed with her clone's pussy while Lilith sucked on his dragon.
Lilith's tongue was a revelation. She licked the head, swirling around the rim, before gathering her courage and taking the whole thing into her mouth. The vacuum of her small throat was incredible.
"Lilith... you're a natural," Ethan growled. He reached down and pressed his finger against her entrance. He felt a thin, elastic barrier.
Her hymen.
Ethan's excitement peaked. He had deflowered many, but feeling the virgin seal of a Dragon God loli was a unique thrill. He teased the membrane, making Lilith whimper and squirm.
"Ethan... it feels like my garden is going to break!" Lilith gasped into his ear.
Ethan didn't wait. He pulled her onto his lap, facing him, and spread her black-clad legs. He guided his massive, angry cock to her tiny entrance. The contrast was absurd—it looked like he would split her in half.
"Ethan... be gentle... Ophis is watching..."
He thrust.
A sharp cry escaped Lilith's lips as the barrier tore. A few drops of pure, virgin blood stained Ethan's thighs. Lilith winced, then her eyes glazed over as the pain was replaced by an overwhelming, soul-shattering pleasure.
"Ah! It's all the way inside! It feels so deep!"
"God, you're tight..." Ethan groaned, hoisting her black-stockinged legs over his shoulders. He began to hammer into her, his hips slapping against her small, firm ass.
Lilith's moans turned into high-pitched screams of ecstasy. "Faster! Ethan, faster! Fill me up!"
Ethan grabbed her feet, still clad in black silk, and began to lick the arches while he continued to drill her pussy. The sounds of wet, slapping flesh filled the room. Lilith's small body shook with every impact, her pussy clamping down on him like a vice.
"I'm coming! Lilith, I'm coming!"
With a final, violent thrust, Ethan flooded Lilith's virgin womb with a massive load of hot life essence. Lilith's eyes rolled back in her head, and her mouth hung open, drooling in mindless bliss as she hit a peak that lasted for minutes.
As he began to soften inside her, Ophis crawled back onto the bed. She had changed her outfit to a schoolgirl uniform with opaque white pantyhose.
"Ethan... I want some too~"
She tore a hole in the crotch of her white tights and turned around, presenting her ass to him. "Do me from behind. Put the 'sister's' leftovers inside me."
Ethan's dragon roared back to life. He pulled out of the dripping, exhausted Lilith and shoved himself straight into Ophis's waiting, white-silked pussy.
"Yes! So deep!" Ophis cried out, her small hands clutching the bedsheets as Ethan began a relentless assault on her "motherly" loli garden. The white silk of her tights began to stain as the mixture of Lilith's juices and Ethan's essence leaked out of Ophis and down her legs.
The real dual-cultivation had just begun.
