"So you are telling me you can make any living creature a 'marionette'?" Catherine asked with a slight tone of surprise.
"Yeah, pretty much. But of course there is a number limit, it takes time as well, and making High-Sequence level existences into one is almost impossible as well," Jace said casually.
It was early morning. After a whole night of satisfying themselves, Jace and Catherine now lay on the bed side by side, with only a white sheet covering them.
Catherine still didn't really seem to understand the nature of Jace's new powers; it was the first time Jace had seen her confused.
"Wait a moment, explain it to me properly," Catherine said with a curious voice, as she propped herself up with her elbow, turning to Jace.
The sheet that covered her chest slid down, revealing her breasts to Jace in full glory.
Jace, unable to stop himself, turned to her while laying down and grabbed her right breast in his hand.
Catherine had amazing boobs; they were more than a handful, firm and soft. Even after going at it for more than half the night, his breath still turned heavier as he held her breast, gave it a nice squeeze, and caressed her pink bud.
While focusing on her breasts, he explained his new powers absentmindedly, "Well, my new power is to be able to see and control the spirit body threads of living creatures—every organisms has them. After gaining control of the spirit body threads, then using their Ether body as a bridge, I can control the target's body and their every aspect."
Catherine smiled as she saw Jace being entranced by her breasts, but she wasn't bothered by it. After hearing his explanation, she fell into deep thought.
Jace looked up at her. "Want to see my marionette?" he asked her with a smile.
Catherine narrowed her brow in confusion.
Jace, meanwhile, controlled his marionette hidden in the card to come out, as he propped himself up like Catherine.
Catherine instantly felt the presence of a person in her bedroom; her hand instantly moved, and she covered herself with the white sheet.
She turned her head and looked at the person who stood before the bed with a frown. He wore a proper suit with a bowtie, looking like a butler.
Jace chuckled, seeing Catherine's reaction. "Relax, it's my marionette."
Catherine looked at Jace with surprise in her eyes and then turned her head to the so-called 'marionette'.
She couldn't see one thing that would let her think that the man before her was a marionette; from what she could see, he seemed like a normal Sequence 7 Beyonder of the Pyromaniac pathway!
The man bowed to Jace. "Master." Then he turned to Catherine and bowed. "Nice to meet you, Mistress."
Jace looked at his marionette and said to Catherine, "It seems like he is greeting us, but in truth, it's me who is greeting us. The marionette is basically dead; his every aspect is controlled by me."
Catherine looked at Jace. "...You can use his powers as well?"
Jace grinned. "Yes, that's the point. If I make a Beyonder my marionette, I'll be able to make the marionette use all their powers. When I possess them, it's basically me who uses their powers. Not only that, the powers used will consume the marionette's own spirituality rather than mine," he answered with excitement.
By now, he made his marionette disappear into the card it came from and laid down on the bed again.
He continued, "A Sequence 5 Beyonder would make an ideal marionette; that's why it is likely that I would discard my current marionette and make another one. Right now, I can only make and control 1 marionette. When I digest the potion, I will be able to control 3."
As he talked, he started playing with Catherine's breasts again, just as he was playing earlier.
Revealing his powers to Catherine was not something he wanted to do, but then again, she was a big part of his life, so he just told her anyway.
Besides, if she wanted to know his powers, she could be really 'persuasive,' and Jace preferred that she didn't.
Now that Jace had been with her for about a year, he knew Catherine quite well, and she had some... 'sadistic' tendencies towards him, so he was always careful with her, but he did not necessarily dislike it when she was rough with him..., but sometimes she just goes to far...
Catherine noticed Jace's arousal; she herself was wet, considering how Jace was playing with her tits.
So she got on top of Jace under the sheet and started kissing him while grinding herself on him.
After a deep, sloppy kiss, she leaned back. "You said you would need my help when I become a demigod."
Catherine looked into Jace's eyes. Her one hand moved down to her crotch between them, where she grabbed Jace's hard member and placed the tip against her slick entrance.
"Mmm~" She dropped herself on him, taking him deep, and let out a soft, restrained moan as she bit her lips.
Jace gasped as well and held her waist, pulling her down.
"Mm~... What do you need my help with?" Catherine asked Jace as she held his face with both her hands, while moving her hips slowly and sensually.
Jace's eyes were hazy and his breathing heavy. Above him, Catherine looked into his eyes. "Ha... I need you to help me get a demigod as a marionette."
"I thought it was impossible to make a high-sequence—mm~... Beyonder your marionette... ah~."
"'Almost' impossible... Almost," Jace corrected Catherine, as he grabbed her ass with both his hands and started kneading her.
"Hehe~" Catherine chuckled with a brilliant smile. "Okay~" She leaned down and took Jace's lips.
