Chapter 25 Shut Up And Kiss Me
—
Public Event! Beast Overclock.
Background: God Candidate Fledglings Leon Traxler, Caitlyn Mira, and Lindy Crestfall killed God Frejya's Candidate and trial veteran, Anya Lostinbolt, two days after receiving their powers.
If the disgraceful humiliation weren't enough, they called Freyja the god of Hoeing, and Leon Traxler turned down having sex with her for her necklace.
It was comical.
Enraged, she used Reward~ on God Candidate Mazon Lipson. He has been granted an 80% reward and has triggered Beast Betrayal by refusing to comply.
As a result, all creatures within a five-mile radius, regardless of level, are moving toward Candidate Traxler and will attack him and his party for four hours.
-
Event: Survive the Onslaught

Entertainment Value Reward: 0/100

Challenged Note: Prompting… please wait….

Ding!
[Event: Survive the Onslaught! God Freyja has challenged you.
Would you like to make a public statement? [Y/N]]
Leon chose yes without the slightest hesitation. A moment later, the gods updated the public event information.

Challenger Note: "You, a filthy mortal, dares to turn down the body of a Goddess and call her a hoe!? Die, you filthy worm!"
Challenged Note: "Considering that I was given this necklace by the four dwarves you banged to get it back, I surmise you gave it back to them to engineer an excuse to sleep with me.
There's a word for someone that tries to gobble up some "filthy worm" D but then tries killing the "filthy worm" for rejecting them—a hoe.
Therefore, I killed your petty follower trying to kill me [obviously], turned down your ratchet, manipulative appetite [intelligently], and called you a hoe [accurately].
Now can we get on with it? It's getting late, and I still have pudding snacks to salvage after humiliating you again and collecting my rewards." f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Well, that's easy…." Leon thought in amazement. It seems his giga-chad skills were valuable, after all.
The flurry of notifications popping onto his screen abruptly fell silent.

Leon sighed in annoyance as he shut down his interface and heard countless howls, screeches, and a weirdly familiar squeal coming in his direction. Many were standing still within his vision.
"MAH ZATATATA! MAH!"
"SSiSSSSSSS!"
"SQUUUUEEEEE! SQUEEEEEEEE!"
"Leon! Earth to Leon!" Lindy cried, "Wake up!"
Caitlyn was hugging his body intently, and Lindy was shaking his shoulders.
"Calm down. There's ten minutes before hell breaks loose." Leon replied.
The two women looked at him in perplexion.
"Check your interfaces. There's doubtlessly a notification for you two." He replied, "Now, please excuse me for a moment. Caitlyn, please stay with Lindy. I'll only be gone a moment."
Caitlyn's eyes clouded over, and she became moody.
However, when she saw [that] look in his eye, she understood why she was waiting.
Leon walked over to Mazon, the catalyst for all of this. As much as he detested it, he needed the man's help.
Mazon was experiencing a complete mental breakdown.
The thought that his only purpose in life was to be used as a technicality for logistical paperwork confirmed the absurdist, existential woes spoken of by Camus were verifiably true. It was too much for him to bear. (1)
So Mazon fell to his knees and cranked his head back as hard as possible.
Mazon planned to thrust the edge of the world's most fertile glass carrot table into the car hood. He hoped his overpowered STR would exceed his END stat, and the glass would rip into his neck, thus ending his life.
"Fuck you, intern writing interface notes for their amusement." He declared, "I hope this scene gives you mild trauma, and your resulting negative personality changes get taught to your children."
"If you do that, you won't die, and it'll only prove you're as stupid as they think you are." Leon interjected dryly, "The only thing you should be doing is helping me prepare for the fight."
As he said those words, Leon walked up to a parking sign and ripped the steel post from the ground.
"Wait… did you just say you want me to help you with the fight?" Mazon asked in bewilderment.
"Correct." Leon replied tersely, "Pay close attention to the best way to prepare for a beast onslaught."
Mazon blinked twice as he saw Leon knock off the concrete on the signpost, rip off the sign, and perform a few practice swings.
"There's a certain trick I've learned in the last two days for leveling up," Leon remarked, "I'd like to share that with you right now."
"You'll teach me? Thank you so—"
CRRRRAAAAACK!
Leon smashed the sign against Mazon's skull with the full superpowers he possessed. That included the ridiculous level gains Caitlyn achieved from Anya and anything else he got from milestones.
The windshield around Mazon's neck shattered, sending fragments into his neck.
Ding!
[Event: Beast Overclock Entertainment Value has increased by (15) points! 35/100]
"Tch. I'm strong enough to kill this idiot, but my weapon is worthless." Leon muttered as he looked at the mangled steel post.
While he could crush Mazon's skull under normal circumstances, he couldn't do so with the man's 80% power increase. So he used a weapon, but it proved worthless against the superhuman.
"Whaaaaaa…." Mazon whispered in a dizzy haze.
"There's a chance I'll receive a milestone level up killing my first superhuman solo," Leon explained nonchalantly, "I'm thinking of protecting Caitlyn as well."
CRRRRAAAAACK!
CLANG!
Leon smashed the mangled metal post on the man's head again, causing it to snap in half.
"Guuuuuuuhhhhh…." Mazon groaned in a woozy tone as his vision turned dark.
"But that'd just be a bonus. I can't have a wildcard with an 80% power increase roaming around." He continued, "This is what it means to not underestimate any opponent, no matter how pathetic and useless you are."
CRRRRAAAAACK!
Ding!
[Event: Beast Overclock Entertainment Value has increased by (5) points! 40/100]
Note: Candidate Leon Traxler perfectly summarized our interface communications. A+.]
"Normal metal really doesn't do jack against super creatures…." Leon complained as he tossed the sign, "Hold that thought. I'll be right back to finish my lesson."
Leon ripped out another sign but figured he'd multi-task by removing the concrete with Mazon's skull.
"Wait…." Mazon groaned.
CRAAAABOOM! Rubble, Rubble, rubble, rubble… rubble.
Pieces of concrete flew across the area. Leon looked at the destroyed sign and then stared at Mazon in amazement, knowing he was only knocked out.
He checked his interface.
[8:12]
"There are eight minutes left. Hmmm." Leon muttered, "Well, I suppose my feet won't break after a couple of attacks."
He raised his foot and stomped down.
Ding!
[Milestone! The user has killed their first superhuman without the aid of a member! The user has leveled up!]
Ding!
[Milestone! The user has taken action into his own hands to protect his harem! The user has leveled up!]
"Yeah, so as I was saying," Leon chuckled, "I learned that if I aim for exploration, experimentation, kinkiness, and other factors, I'll level up. Thanks for helping me prove that."
He turned away with an expressionless face and headed back toward Caitlyn, who had sparkling eyes.
Lindy was also going through an internal crisis as she stared at Leon. She should have feared him for ruthlessly killing Mazon with the casualness of trimming bushes. However, she was 50 shades of horny, and only 25 had to do with her sexual affliction. Lindy hated herself for that, but… god damn, it was hot.
"Okay. There's only eight minutes left," Leon announced, "Did you see the notification?"
"Yes… this is bad. I… I don't have much mana, and I can barely fly." Caitlyn replied in a downtrodden voice.
"Don't worry. It's my turn to protect you." Leon replied.
Caitlyn tried protesting, but he stopped her.
"I can't use you if you're dead," he clarified, "And oh do I want to use you."
Caitlyn melted on-site, and so did Lindy, whose [bladder problem] was getting out of control. She couldn't lie to herself any longer.
"Now, I have a feeling running away won't help much," Leon continued, "As such, I'll try prioritizing getting a weapon. Lindy, join my harem."
Caitlyn and Lindy's eyes widened in shock.
Leon whispered, "it'll make me happy," into Caitlyn's ear in an erotic tone, causing her to shiver.
"W-What?" Lindy asked in disbelief.
"I thought you had a bladder problem; turns out you're a sex fiend," Leon replied bruskly, "You confirmed that confidently."
Lindy started trembling and curling her hair nervously.
"I'm the only partner you'll find, you can leave a contract, and if you don't, you'll die." He asserted matter-of-factly.
Ding!
[Passive Skill: Survival Charm is in effect. God Candidate Lindy's trust in you has increased.]
Ding!
[Passive Skill: Survival Charm has temporarily been altered Harem Leveler skill to forcefully allow the member to release the contract.]
"You're only level 16, and death is coming. You can forcefully release the contract if you wish later." Leon said calmly, "So decide if you want to stay when you're alive later. Contract."
Leon's body lit up with vibrant pink light.
"Now, shut up and kiss me." Leon ordered.
Lindy melted. This is the moment she'd normally smile and say no while pushing Leon playfully and slowly getting closer. However, she didn't have time.
Moreover, Lindy had absolute confidence in him. It was as though her already 70% confidence in him increased and now became low-level mind control.
However, while she was aware of that—she liked it. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
"Yes, sir." Lindy replied.
Caitlyn growled because that was her line. Leon whispered, "We'll figure out the most electric line for you to use after this. You deserve better," it's Caitlyn's ear in response.
In truth, he took that approach because it was so much hotter when the outspoken rebellious girl said it!
Hearing it from the obsequious [Aspiring Sex Puppet] wasn't fulfilling. So he took a note to set his harem affairs in order.
Leon didn't have time for a ceremony, so he pulled her in quickly and kissed Lindy firmly yet briefly.
Her body exploded with vibrant colors.
Ding!
