Genius Regressor Makes Mythic Items

Chapter 284 - Cradle of Indulgence (2)



Pink clouds filled the sky.

Beneath it,

『Aah!』

“Good… so good!”

-Uh huh!

A cacophony of grotesque and lascivious moans and laughter echoed through the air. The handsome man with black wings, looking down at the flesh-colored scene below, ‘Good thing broadcasting is prohibited.’

Shimun let out a hollow laugh. Even if you compiled every pornographic film on Earth, it would not hold a candle to the obscene landscape before him.

Not only acts surrounded by pain, but incomprehensible behaviors lined up one after the other. Scenes that an ordinary human wouldn’t even imagine unfolded all around him.

‘If this was broadcasted, it would have caused a great uproar.’

Questions about where this place was and how to get there, not to mention the controversies in the world news regarding explicit content.

These days, even minors watched arena broadcasts without reservation.

Despite this,

-Kya ha! That’s it! This is corruption! Hey, Shimun. Since we’re here, why don’t we go down and enjoy ourselves too?

A sly voice echoed from his left eye.

-I never got to enjoy such a place when I was active. Come on, let’s make the most of it, huh?

At this, Shimun’s brow furrowed deeper.

‘Does it look like I came here to play? Besides, even if I enjoyed it, you wouldn’t feel anything anyway.’

-No, see. Since you share some senses with the Philosopher’s Stone, I can share some experiences too.

As if it were crucial.

-Back when I was an angel, I made many demons cry, you know?

Lucifer responded in a serious tone.

-I know exactly how to handle these types. Trust me! I’ll have them worshipping you like a king with all kinds of techniques…

Shimun let out a hollow laugh at Lucifer’s self-promotion but considering the situation,

‘Hey Philo, give him a piece of your mind.’

He called for the Philosopher’s Stone.

-……

No answer came.

‘Philo?’

Calling again, Shimun finally noticed a faint vibrational tremor at the center of his chest.

‘What is this? She’s awake, but…’

Activating his alchemy energy to focus more on the Philosopher’s Stone,

-Oh my, oh my! Look at those muscles! Why are incubuses so handsome these days? Oh my goodness! So cheeky! If they’re going to dress like that, might as well strip…

Very faint, but certainly a clear, emotionally charged voice came through.

‘You little…’

Before Shimun could get angry,

『The Celestial Zeus says, ‘Hmm. So this is what it’s like… I must visit at least once.’, he looks around seriously.』

『The Celestial Heavenly Demon smiles slyly, ‘Haha! I agree! The world has become such a good place! Very commendable!’』

The reactions of Zeus and Heavenly Demon appeared before him.

Moreover,

『The Celestial Heavenly Demon suggests, ‘Seeing as you’ve come all the way here, why not indulge a bit yourself?’ He gives you a suggestive look.』

『The Celestial Zeus says, ‘I’m curious about that public bath down there. Shall we visit? I can even give you a quest if you want.’, he points below with his chin.』

『The Celestial Heavenly Demon laughs boisterously, ‘A quest, ha! Good idea. Then I’m curious about that carousel over there!’』

Like Lucifer, they too encouraged him, even offering quests.

“…….”

Shimun was speechless, beyond words.

As if misunderstanding Shimun’s reaction,

“Huhu, you seem to like it?”

A seductive voice chimed in.

Looking up, “Isn’t it truly beautiful?”

A nearly six-meter-tall beauty with a serpent’s lower body was elegantly slithering ahead.

Meanwhile, “For the sake of a moment of pleasure, and to make it last just a bit longer…”

She twisted her upper body as if disjointed from the snake’s lower half. The Lamia, Ravi, asked, making eye contact with Shimun.

Despite his complicated inner thoughts, “Indeed, it is beautiful.”

He agreed with a deeper-than-usual smile. Satisfied with his response, “Ohoho! As expected of a Fallen Angel. You truly understand the aesthetics of pleasure.”

Ravi laughed charmingly as she led the way.

“Ravi, I told you, didn’t I? Someone like you isn’t worthy of speaking to him.”

The menacing growl of a Fallen Angel echoed from behind. A notorious Fallen Angel even in the Demon Realm.

“Huhu, as the manager of this place, if I can’t greet him, who can? Be more understanding.”

Ravi replied with a sweet smile, not batting an eye.

“You!”

The Fallen Angel’s eyes twitched in irritation, ready to raise his voice.

“Enough.”

Shimun’s voice, laden with authority, accompanied a subtle raise of his hand.

“I apologize for my impertinence.”

The Fallen Angel quickly bowed his head.

“Ho…”

Ravi’s eyes glimmered with interest. Though she looked at Shimun with keen curiosity, it was only for a brief moment.

“Even if it’s entertaining, such a place is too lowly to receive such esteemed guests.”

Ravi covered her intrigue with a more earnest smile.

“Considering the earlier rudeness at the entrance, I will ensure that you receive the highest level of hospitality today. So, please relax.”

Her tone was a mix of consolation and diplomacy.

“Hmph! Do you know who we are? Of course, you should.”

The Fallen Angel who had previously bowed to Shimun now raised his head arrogantly.

Ravi, in turn, responded with a mix of laughter and something indiscernible.

“Huhu, certainly.”

With that smile, she led them onward once more. Soon, they arrived at an elaborate mirror.

“From here, there is a risk of losing your way, so please follow me closely.”

She caressed the gaudy mirror with a seductive gesture.

Then,

Buzzz.

A faint hum emanated from the mirror. Aside from the hum, there was no external change. But one person saw differently.

‘This is…’

Shimun’s eyes narrowed. The mirror that Ravi had touched. Inside it, ‘Multiple dimensions?’

The scenes of various forms of debauchery that they had passed through were all layered within it. It felt much like gazing into an elevator with mirrors reflecting each other.

Moreover, ‘There are so many layers! How many dimensions is this mirror reflecting?’

The ever-changing scenes reflected in the mirror were dizzying just to look at.

‘If not for the insight from Tarnhelm, I’d have gotten dizzy just looking at it.’

Not just dizziness, ‘If I hadn’t activated Odin’s Eye, I wouldn’t have even recognized it as a multi-dimensional mirror.’

It was thanks to the high-level insight granted by the mythic artifact.

‘Just like with Hermes before, this high-level insight is truly a cheat ability.’

The high-level insight granted by a genuine mythic-grade artifact was indeed overpowered.

However, Ravi, unaware of Shimun’s discovery, “Please follow me.”

She tapped the mirror’s surface as if pressing an elevator button,

Then walked into it. With her momentarily gone, “Shimun-nim, shall we?”

The previously arrogant Fallen Angel now carefully invited Shimun.

Shimun turned to the Fallen Angel, “Please refrain from using my real name. Didn’t we agree on aliases?”

He reminded about the use of names.

“Oh, I’m sorry,—I mean, Shimuel-nim.”

The Fallen Angel corrected himself with the agreed-upon alias.

Soon, Shimun and the Fallen Angels stepped into the mirror.

*

Clack.

The group with flaming wings walked through the dense pink fog. Before long, they arrived at yet another ornate mirror.

“How much further do we have to go?”

One of the leaders walking up front grumbled. Understandably,

“Do you know we’ve already passed through three of those cursed mirrors?”

They had already traveled through three gaudy mirrors. Approaching the fourth one now. Trying to calm him, “Huhu, don’t worry. To ensure you receive the utmost care, I’m taking you to the most important place in the Cradle of Indulgence.”

Ravi, continuing to lead the way, responded with a grotesque twist of her upper body.

“At such special care, you should hope it pleases him greatly.”

The Fallen Angel threatened with a glare. But the Fallen Angel’s leader, or rather, Shimun disguised as their leader, showed no dissatisfaction.

And for good reason.

‘The remnant devil energy… is getting thicker.’

From the first moment he moved through the mirror, he began to feel the remnant devil energy that were previously undetectable.

With each passage through the mirror, they intensified. Though the form was similar, its essence was quite different from before with Mammon.

‘Unlike Mammon’s time, these remnants carry a considerable aphrodisiac effect rather than pure power.’

A normal person would have lost their mind long ago, driven into a euphoric stupor. If it weren’t for the genuine transformation into a Fallen Angel through the Tarnhelm, he would have struggled to withstand it.

Conversely, this meant,

‘The Seed of the Sin of Lust. I’m certainly getting closer to it.’

The Seed of the Sin of Lust, hidden somewhere within the Cradle of Indulgence.

Its powerful remnants were proof that he was nearing it.

‘Though I’m aching to move right now…’

Yet the reason Shimun refrained from rash action was clear.

‘While I can sense the remnants, I have no idea where the Seed of the Sin of Lust is located.’

Perhaps due to Lucifer’s tutelage on devil energy, he could sense the remnants left by the Seed of the Sin of Lust.

But its exact location remained elusive.

Consequently, “This is the place where Constellations visiting the Cradle are received.”

They arrived in another opulent room through yet another mirror. No, calling it a palace would not be an exaggeration.

‘We need to go deeper.’

He needed to delve into deeper layers. For instance, ‘The manager’s quarters.’

The quarters of Ravi, the massive Lamia standing before him.

And taking action for this, “I will summon those to serve you.”

Wasn’t difficult. With a confident gesture, Ravi summoned, a pair of men and women walked in mechanically.

Click-click.

“This is…”

“Oh my…!”

Shimun and the Fallen Angels couldn’t hide their astonishment at the sight of the man and woman. Reasonably so. Though their expressions were blank, and their pupils were dilated, the pure white wings on their backs could only remind them of one race.

“Heavenly beings?!”

The Heavenly Race.

Classified alongside the Dragonkin as the highest-ranking race in the Galaxy Arena. Seeing them standing like dolls was nothing short of shocking.

Furthermore, “Haha! Judging by your expressions, you seem pleased?”

Ravi smiled at their reactions.

“Though the issuance of invitations has been banned, I still remember the preferences of Fallen Angels.”

She gazed at them with a suggestive look.

“Always so white, pure, and noble. Like these angels.”

She scanned the fallen angels who were shifting from surprise to excitement.

“Back when they were most active, the seven archdemons were still around, which made acquiring them difficult. But not anymore.”

From her seductive eyes to her voice, her entire demeanor was calculated to entice.

“And since such esteemed guests are present… I truly hope you find them pleasing.”

Her words now directed at Shimun, who remained the only one not consumed by desires. The Fallen Angels, now swallowing hard in anticipation,

“Shimuel-nim…”

“Could we perhaps…?”

With eyes of raw hungry desire, they awaited Shimun’s permission. Shimun turned to the fallen angels, “Remember your place.”

Shimun growled menacingly.

“H-Huff!”

“I apologize!”

The Fallen Angels, snapping back to their senses, bowed their heads in fear. There was a reason Shimun had summoned them to accompany him here, after all.

However, perhaps misunderstanding the situation, “Oh my~ I knew the hierarchy among Fallen Angels was strict, but I didn’t realize it was this extreme.”

Ravi’s eyes sparkled with even more curiosity and intrigue. Pretending not to notice her interest, Shimun commanded, “Everyone, leave.”

With a threatening expression, he dismissed the Fallen Angels, who quickly recognized the subtle cue in his gaze.

“Understood!”

“Ravi, you must take good care of Shimuel-nim.”

Without hesitation, they bowed and exited through a mirror guided by Ravi.

“Of course. The exit is this way.”

Ravi’s voice echoed as the Fallen Angels disappeared.

Now alone with Ravi, “We’re alone.”

Her voice was dripping with seduction. But Shimun didn’t even spare her a glance.

“Hmmm…”

He carefully examined the two angels standing like dolls. Despite the evident disregard, Ravi appeared unaffected.

“Haha! It seems you’re very pleased with my preparations?”

She continued confidently. This time, it seemed, Shimun acknowledged her words.

“I am pleased.”

He nodded slowly.

“This is quite an unexpected find…”

“Isn’t it? But before you indulge, may I have a word with you?”

Finally giving her his full attention, Shimun asked,

“A word?”

Satisfied with his response, Ravi answered, “Yes, as you know, Fallen Angels are notoriously difficult to deal with, even for demons.”

Ravi flicked her serpent-like tongue while speaking.

“Trying to hold serious discussions is particularly challenging.”

“You want to discuss something important with someone capable of controlling them?”

“Oh, how direct you are! But that’s the charm of a Fallen Angel.”

Ravi laughed and nodded.

“That’s right. As I mentioned at the entrance, we’ve been facing numerous difficulties recently, and we could use the help of Fallen Angels.”

“Help, you say…”

Shimun paused thoughtfully.

“Very well. But this seems hardly the place for such a ‘serious discussion’.”

He lifted one corner of his mouth into a smirk.

“Of course.”

She quickly gestured to her side.

Then, The pink mist gathered into another mirror.

Ssss.

This one was plain and dark, unlike the gaudy mirrors they had seen before. Seeing it, Shimun’s eyes gleamed. The reason was simple.

‘It’s there.’

The plain, dark mirror unmistakably emanated the aura of the Seed of the Sin of Lust.

“I’ll escort you to my quarters.”

Ravi said with an insidious smile, stepping into the mirror. Shimun followed suit.

‘How convenient.’

He mused inwardly, adopting a similar smile. As if dispersing smoke,

『The Celestial XX, watching from afar, is immensely angered.』

『The Celestial XX is closely monitoring your actions.』

『The Celestial Zeus and the Celestial Heechang sigh, ‘Tsk. Did that guy have to witness this too? Haha, another paradise will vanish soon.’, They lament in regret.』

『The Celestial Black Goat says, ‘Hey, slippery one? If you get those angels, share some of the karma with me?’, and licks her lips.』

From the moment the angels appeared, Shimun pushed aside the reactions of the Constellations.
