63 Sinister Shadows (2/2)
Catatonic kiss: A synergistic active power granted to you due to your influence over both the domain of dreams and the subdomain of corruption. With this twice-per-twelve-hour power, you can kiss someone and cause them to fall unconscious. If you leave them alone in this state they'll have intense, erotic dreams and sleep for twelve straight hours.
Whispers of corruption: This twice-per-half-hour power uses your velvet voice to corruptively whisper in the ears of a target. It whispers sinful and corrupt things into their minds and lessens their ability to resist corruption for three hours.
Inhibition remover: This twice-per-twelve-hour power temporarily destroys someone's sense of inhibition. For an hour they are unlikely to say ”no” to offers to experience new sensations and are more suggestible then they'd otherwise be.
Lust: This twice-per-half-hour power allows you to immediately learn something that someone desires.]
Reading through that list made me smile. And it filled my head with a wicked idea.

”I don't have to use my full power on this demon.” I realized, as I considered how to best subjugate the frightened creature. I wanted the demon to spill its secrets to me, and I could tell that it wouldn't be difficult for me.
”Besides... eventually I'll have to practice with my powers. If I'm careful, and I just kiss it that should be enough to calm it down and dominate it.” I assured myself, seeing in this an opportunity to safely practice my corruptive abilities, on an already thoroughly corrupt being. This was my best chance to see my corruption-powers in practice. And I might as well take it.
I walked over to the thing and shot my hand into the puddle of oil-like ooze. It felt gross around my hand, and I could feel the creature's ”body” coiling around my appendage but the monster didn't dare attack me. I dug around the puddle, searching for something like a head.
It took about a minute of exploring the puddle before my hand grabbed something I could hold onto. I yanked it out of the rest of the darkness with a soft grunt and the application of a bit of force.
”Ahh!” The demon shouted, screaming in pain as I forcibly pulled what ended up being its actual, incorporeal head out of the inky darkness that comprised the rest of its body.
When I was done yanking its head out of its collapsed body, I immediately approached it and kissed its ethereal cheek. I smiled as I received and read a quick notification following my the peck I laid on the demon's cheek.
[Influence over Sombra: .00001]
The demon immediately stopped yelling, as its mind was inundated with my power. I chuckled as I felt the demon's mind try to shake off my influence, but I didn't intend to let it do so so easily. Instead, I began to speak to the creature.
”What are you doing? Do you want this to be unpleasant?” I asked it, infusing my voice with power and envisioning my ”Velvet voice” power seeping into the demon's mind. I grinned as I felt the creature's resistance begin to weaken, as the creature began to consider what I was saying.
”I am a lord of lust and I am offering you something I don't often offer my enemies. A chance at a pleasant experience.” I told it, shortly before activating a power I had never activated before: ”A sensual lie”. I watched as the demon considered my words, and felt a bit of its fear begin to dissipate as the demon fell for what it felt were the sexual implications of my lie.
I let go of the demon's head and stopped holding it in a contained sphere of holy light causing the room we were in to darken as darkness invaded and reasserted its dominion.
The demonic puddle was still for a second, aside from the demon's head slowly being pulled back into it. When the puddle was whole and uniform, it dripped onto the floor of the room and the demon's form began to change. Over the course of the next few seconds, the demon ceased being a puddle of oil-like darkness and reshaped itself into the shape of a naked, and muscular humanoid.
I studied it as it did this, unafraid of the thing, and waited to see if it'd give itself some clear sex organs. I was a bit surprised when it didn't. I wasn't disappointed though. It was an incorporeal demon, so I hadn't really expected its gender to be clear at a glance. That said, when the thing was fully formed I spoke again.
”Hi there. For the next few minutes, you're mine. How pleasantly you want to do this is really up to you, but let me assure you I get my way in the end.” I told the demon, acting how I believe a god, an embodiment of power, should act in this situation. The demon looked at me, and there was a strange expression on its face. I studied it for a second.
The creature's face was made of some sort of translucent, smoke-like darkness. I could clearly make out facial features, like colorless eyes, lips, a nose, and ears, but I could also see all the way through its head. It was a bizarre sight.
The rest of the demon's body was made of the sort of darkness someone could find underground, a frightening sort of absolute darkness that absorbed all light. That darkness was modeled after the shape of a humanoid complete with a vague mimicry of human muscles, and the demon was evidently very fit.
The expression on the demon's face was a dazed one. It was one of pleasant shock and anticipation. I chuckled, aware that the demon was now having to deal with a number of powers and was almost certainly losing.
I opted to ensure that the thing lost. I took a few steps to draw close to it, and I put my hands on its face. The incorporeal shadow-stuff that made up its face solidified when I brought my hands close to it, and I was able to pull the demon towards me, until the thing was in my arms. I chuckled as I brought its face to mine and pulled its smokey lips to my own.
Our lips lightly touched and I felt the demon exhale, its breath entering my mouth. It was now in the middle of the process of surrendering to my power, having lost the fight to resist the will-eroding effects of my corruptive abilities. I grinned as we kissed, enjoying the sensation of the demon becoming mine as its strength and willpower flood into me.
”That's it...” I whispered as I pulled back from the kiss, a smile on my lips. I received a number of notifications, but I didn't let them distract me. I kept my eyes glued on the demon I was going to extract information from, and watched as the demon's willpower faded from its eyes.
”Now for the real fun...” I whispered, my voice taking on a surprisingly seductive undertone. I hadn't intended for that to happen, but it was to my benefit so I didn't question it.
The demon even began to blush and a quick read of its mind revealed that it was filling with musings about the sort of pleasures that a god of lust could cause it to feel. That made me laugh. It wasn't the one who'd be having fun.
I lightly kissed it again, and immediately caused the thing to become addicted to my kisses. I ignored the unhappy sigh that the demon made when our lips parted. This was, after all, me beginning the process of permanently securing its servitude. And this cause the system to send me a message.
[Well, well... Is this the beginning of you walking towards becoming a demon lord? I don't disapprove. This has caused the domain of evil to allow you to take its quest. It'll be worth taking when you're done here. Now have fun.] The system haughtily told me, smugness audible in its voice. I grinned and readied myself to learn the demon's secrets.
The first thing I did to begin to do that? I quietly activated my knowledge-based powers and began to learn all about the creature in my arms.
