3rd Pov
Xicor took the final step out of the black pool, his body radiating cursed energy that unconsciously flickered around him like a submissive pet.
He raised his two hands, opening and closing them slowly. He could feel the extra strength in his muscles as he unconsciously stretched and rolled his shoulders.
His two pairs of eyes land on the two goddesses struggling to stand as he quickly gets control of his radiating energy.
"Sorry about that girls" He rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
He was quickly rammed into as Naruhime engulfed him in a tight hug, her head buried in his chest. Xicor immediately wrapped his own arms around her, pecking the top of her head.
Xicor's eyes went to the other goddess in the room as she had a soft and beautiful smile on her lips. She silently made her way over before taking one of his hands that was holding Naruhime and placing it on her cheek, her eyes never leaving his for a moment.
She took one glance at Narubime before looking back at him with her own red eyes, "How are you feeling?" she whispered.
Xicor broke eye contact with her and looked back at the pool's black surface, remembering the experience he had in there, "Tired mentally, but physically I'm way better"
She nodded as she brought a hand to his cheek, the warm softness unconsciously made him lean in for more, one of very pillar from driving him completely mad and turn on anything around him.
Shikoku leaned in, being mindful of her sister's position as she softly pressed her lips against him, a kiss to heal the mind, even if it's a little it would still have an effect.
She pulled back, with the hand that was on his cheek to his hand on her own cheek, silently enjoying the warmth and security he provides for herself.
His other hand draws circles on Naruhime's back as she lets out content hums. The goddess moved her arms up to wrap them around his neck before softly pressing her own lips against him.
They remained like that for several minutes until she finally pulled back and planted her face at the crook of his neck before letting out a contented sigh and pressing herself closer.
Xicor relaxed in the moment with them as he felt around inside his body, all of it had been strengthened as a wide smile graced his lips before he curiously opened his system.

'The pool completed all three of my templates?!' Xicor thought with surprise as he took another glance at the black liquid.
'I doubt it'll allow me to do it again for me as it will probably put too much stress on my body before I can even adapt to it' he thought.

A big smile grew on Xicor's mouth at the various templates he had acquired, each one has its own unique uses.
Uro Takako's cursed technique allows her to treat the very air around her as a surface where she can redirect attacks, throw someone off balance, and fly through the sky as well as masking her presence.
Kashimo Hajime's cursed technique allows him to control elements of electricity. His cursed energy has converted to electricity, so that if anyone attempts to hit him, they will be shocked, giving him the chance to strike.
The true power of this technique lies in its transformation state as it gives Kashimo a new appearance, which surpasses the limits of a human, it can only be used once before his body collapses following the technique's conclusion.
And finally, Naoya Zenin's cursed technique, Projection Sorcery allows the user to turn one second into 24 frames, meaning that this technique revolves around speed.
Anyone the user touches must follow the 24-frame rule, if they fail then they become frozen in a glass frame allowing the user to land a free hit.
The downside of this technique is that the user also must follow the 24-frame rule unless they want to end like a glass frame.
The domain expansion of Naoya, Time Cell Moon Palace, forms an environment that resembles the structure of a womb with a giant eye in place of the uterus.
The sure-hit effects are lines of films that enforce the 24-frame rule on a cellular level, if they fail then the results are freezing individual cells, disrupting them and causing small cuts and gashes to appear on the body, completely immobilising any target. Forcing a movement can cause an appendage to be cut off completely.
Not even the user is safe under the domain expansion as they too must follow its rules.
Closing the system with satisfaction, Xicor pulled out the embraces and looked at the two goddesses in front of him.
"How long was I in there?" he asked curiously.
"18 hours" Naruhime shrugged.
Xicor blinked several times, "18 hours?" he repeated, making sure he heard her right.
"Mhm" she nodded as he glanced at Shikoku for confirmation, she too nodded.
'How did I not drown? What did I even miss!' Xicor thought as he scratched the back of his head.
Just as he was about to lose himself in his thoughts, Shikoku grabbed his free hand and gently pulled him, "Come on, we've been monitoring that 7th unit for a while and not much has happened so you don't need to think too hard about missing anything"
Xicor nodded and followed along with Naruhime quickly grabbing his other hand. All three walked through the decorative halls until they got into the open room with the circular table. Seated in three of the seats are Fukuma, Jaku'un and Taikyoku.
They finished their discussion as the three came in, all of their eyes were on Xicor and his changes. Jaku'un leaned forward slightly to get a better look at him from her spot.
Fukuma's ever-growing smile grows slightly in satisfaction, as her form shifts slightly in response to the surprising changes that have befallen the former human, almost like an instinctive response.
Taikyoku's expressionless features twitch slightly as she examines the depths of his body with her eyes.
"I see the process was a success" Taikyoku lightly said.
"Indeed it has" Shikoku said with a bright smile as she hugged his arm tightly against her chest, she glanced sideways to Xicor as she licked her lips.
"Now that he is here we may begin what you will do Shikoku, about the humans possessing a blessing" Taikyoku said, her tone commanding, leaving no room for denial.
Shikoku and Naruhime reluctantly let go of his hands but they did pull him along to stand between their seats.
"Why doesn't Xicor get a seat?" Naruhime questioned.
"Because he is not a god but in the future, if I deem him trustworthy enough, then he may earn one for himself" Taikyoku said simply as Naruhime groaned in her seat.
Xicor placed a hand on her shoulder, silently saying, 'It's fine'.
She placed her own hand over his and rubbed it with her thumb, drawing as much affection as she could get before she was forced to focus on the meeting.
Shikoku noticed this but gave a slight giggle as she covered her mouth to hide the mischievous smile that had graced her lips.
Obviously, Taikyoku noticed but decided to ignore it by shaking her head and focusing back on the meeting, "Shikoku, for the duration of you in command of combating these humans, you will find to the extent of this blessing goes, once you have determined their strength level send a report to me immediately" Taikyoku ordered before looking at Fukuma.
"Fukuma, you will continue to spy on the demon defence force but if there is the slightest hint that they have discovered you, you must retreat as soon as possible"
Finally, she looked at Xicor, "Xicor, is it?" she asked, making sure she said it right.
"Yes, Ma'am" he stood at attention, his full focus was solely on her.
"I don't fully trust you, but seeing how close you are with two of my sisters is something I will overlook for now but your task is simple, you will protect my siblings with your life, am I understood?" she said, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Yes, Ma'am" he agreed without hesitation.
To Taikyoku, this human showed up being all lovey-dovey with her siblings with the only information she got about him being from Naruhime's rants about her consort that she found to be suspicious.
She had seen and heard what humans were like. To her, they were greedy, selfish, lustful, arrogant, there was nothing good about them and yet a human is right here, in a romantic relationship with two of her sisters.
Despite her cold and harsh demeanour, she was still the eldest sibling and they always looked out for their younger siblings, even going as far as delivering harsh punishment if they had to get a message through their heads.
Taikyoku looked at the last two people in the room, "Naruhime you will continue to guard mother with me, and Jaku'un you will also remain here to continue your work on strengthening our Shuuki as well as your abilities"
"You are all dismissed" she said as she began to levitate off the ground and float through a set of doors.
Fukuma and Jaku'un got up to leave but Jaku'un came over to Xicor as she leaned in with eagerness, "Xicor~, may I have a piece of your blood please~" she said putting her hands together.
Xicor looked at her for several seconds before glancing at Shikoku who gave a slight shrug, "Sure"
Jaku'un's masked features brightened up as she took out a syringe and gently extracted the blood she needed.
"Thank you very much!!" she exclaimed before she put the syringe in her cloak as she took off her mask to reveal a young girl with long green hair tied in twin tails and periwinkle eyes.
She leaned in, her face mere inches from him as she gave a cat-like smile, "If your blood shows promise, then I'll give you a generous reward"
Xicor blinked several times but that reaction caused Jaku'un to let out a series of giggles as she put her helmet back on and walked away.
Xicor watched her go as a thought came to him, 'Am I a goddess magnet?'
He broke out his thoughts as Naruhime pulled him into a tight hug that made him groan, "I'm gonna miss you" she mumbled into his chest.
Xicor wrapped his own arms around her as he was about to plant his lips on top of her head, but she lifted her head and met him halfway, pouring her emotions into it with full force by shoving her tongue inside and dancing around his.
Xicor responded instinctively, the remained like that until they pulled back panting. Naruhime stared deeply into his red eyes as she brought a hand to his cheek and softly stroked it, her touch was warm and gentle.
Reluctantly, she pulled back and walked out after giving Xixor a farewell peck, leaving him and Shikoku alone in the room.
She looked up at him as her smile grew as the tip of her tongue traced her own lips, "Well then, my dear, shall we be off?"
Xicor stared at the doorway Naruhime had left through as he responded, "Yeah"
Shikoku gently took his hand as they both sank into her shadow and appeared in their room, the lights were dim, giving enough lighting to see most things inside.
Xicor looked around the room for a second before Shikoku pushed him onto the bed. He looked down to see her taking off her black kimono, revealing her black bra and panties.
Xicor's eyes widen in surprise as the breathtaking goddess crawls sultrily towards her lover. She pressed herself on top of him as she gently cupped his face with her hands and pressed her lips against his.
"Shikoku, I don't think now is a good time to do it as I am not really in the right state of mind after what I experienced in the black pool" Xicor voiced out after she pulled back.
She stared down at him before letting out a soft giggle that rang through his ears, "I am well aware of that, after all, I am your maiden~" she whispered, her voice felt like warm silk wrapped around the soul.
"But after you're back to yourself again, and I will know, I will be your first and yours will be mine" she said with a sweet smile that somehow creeped him out but he didn't voice it out.
"For now, I'll settle for this" She remarked as she rested her head at the crook of his neck, draping an arm on his chest and a leg over his waist, securing him on the spot before she brought the covers over them.
Xicor sighed as he got comfortable and closed his eyes after giving the goddess on top of him a kiss on her head.
Shikoku responded by kissing his neck and closing her own eyes as she got more comfortable.
