Chapter 296

Kachia understood; so that's how it was.

"Then let him get some nourishment. The royal family has plenty of treasures; he can eat them for the rest of his life."

"Do you think Rider is a gas timer, that you can just throw two coins in and it'll work? Even if you ate him, it'd still take time to digest, wouldn't it?"

"Well... can I rest on Saturdays and Sundays?"

"Do you think Rider is a wind-up machine? You think a machine will just heal itself after being left out for a couple of days because you've used it too much?"

Kachia was exasperated. "This won't work, that won't work, Kachina, are you trying to make me give up? Impossible! You know how much I want to break through to the Eighth Tier. Since praying to the Earth Goddess is hopeless, I can only place my hopes on Rider. That's the only thing, Kachina, even if you're my sister, I won't back down!"

Kachina pouted, thinking to herself, "Who told you to give way? Wasn't I the one letting you have way? Every citizen of the Empire knows that Rider is my Prince. You're just someone who got lucky."

However, for the sake of her plan, she could only let Kachia fret and fall into her 'trap' step by step.

Well, the next step is to let Kachia know how tricky this matter is, to make her want it but not be able to have it, to make her desperate and unbearable, then she will agree to any request she makes!

Kachia, you don't want to be unable to break through to the Eighth Tier because you can't train with Rider, do you?

As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard Kachia's tone change.

"I've got it!" Kachia suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "Kachina, we're twins, why should we be separated? Can't we be together?"

Kachina: "???"

"What I mean is, it's not the two of us going up, but us fusing together and then cultivating. With our current strength, after fusing, we should be infinitely close to the Eighth Tier, and maybe we can really break through the limit in one fell swoop. As long as we reach the Eighth Tier after fusing and have felt that power, even if we separate later, there will be no obstacle to the Eighth Tier for us."

Kachina: "???"

Seeing the excitement on Kachia's face, Kachina fell silent.

Something seems... off, doesn't it?

Didn't she say those words?

Kachia, why are you so happy!

Although something unexpected seemed to have happened in the middle, the result was correct.

Then.

Ryan originally thought that Kachina would need several days to persuade Kachia, and that he could take this time to rest and recuperate and sort out the current situation. But to his surprise, she arrived that very night!

Looking at the girl who appeared in the room, Ryan could tell from her aura that it was definitely not Kachina —although her appearance and figure were the same, the aura was wrong. Ryan had spent so many days having in-depth exchanges with Kachia, and he could immediately tell the difference just by smelling Kachia.

"Who are you now?" Ryan asked after a three-second silence.

"Kachina."

So, are we currently in a state of fusion between Gemini?

Where is Her Your Majesty Kachia?

"She can come out when it's her turn."

Ryan coughed up blood. What do you mean by "it's her turn"? Doesn't that mean both of you are together?

Logically speaking, it's perfectly reasonable for two people to enjoy the same body, right?

However, Ryan wasn't sure what the twins' state would be like in the fused state. If they were considered separately, then what the hell was the point of fusion?!

Oh, it wasn't entirely meaningless; at least we experienced a unique three-person magic trick, didn't we?

"Alright, Rider, there's no time, let's hurry!"

Ryan's thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Kachina. The fusion wasn't for an unlimited amount of time, and to ensure that both sisters could have a perfect experience, Kachina couldn't wait to start playing.

Ryan was shocked. He knew that although Kachina had interacted with him many times before, she had never done anything like this.

Why is this girl acting so differently today?

For a moment, Ryan wondered if Kachia was in control, but as a warm feeling enveloped his body, he quickly put the question out of his mind.

He gently stroked Kachina's soft hair with both hands, then used his palms to protect the back of her head and push it towards him to prevent Kachina head from hitting the wall three meters away.

Perhaps he pushed too hard, because Kachina couldn't help but tilt her head back. Seeing that she was only 2.82 meters away from the wall, Ryan continued to push with both hands, tilting her head back, pushing, tilting her head back, pushing. The rhythm became faster and faster with their tacit cooperation, until Kachina couldn't take it anymore and let out a whimper.

But Ryan didn't care about any of that; everyone saw that you started it.

Besides, it's normal to feel a little uncomfortable during cultivation, but you'll definitely make progress in the future, won't you?

Only the twins would do the hard work themselves; how could anything be so unfair?

"Waaah!"

Kachina raised her head, her plum-blossom eyes gleaming with a warm and alluring light. Ryan had initially thought she was begging for mercy, but to his surprise, her tongue suddenly nimbly circled around, sending a jolt of electricity through him.

Hiss!

Is this guy a reincarnated fox spirit?

Something's not right, not even 90% right. Although Kachina is experienced, it's all theoretical. She's all talk and no action. When it came to a real fight, she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. She was still led astray by Rider and almost got turned into a slut.

Although some time has passed, the changes have been too rapid!

Before he could think any further, little Ryan had been stroked again and again, giving Ryan the feeling of falling into a whirlpool in the sea, the terrifying suction force seemingly trying to suck out the essence of the sun and moon from his body.

Ryan suppressed his momentum and unconsciously tightened his grip on Kachina's head, pressing her face tightly against his thigh. After a while, Kachina, almost suffocating, suddenly threw her head back.

The juice stretched into a parabola in the air, tracing a beautiful arc before landing perfectly on Kachina, but she paid no attention to it, coughing for a while before finally stopping.

Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha!

Kachina gasped for breath. The feeling of that foreign object piercing her throat was unbearable, but the discomfort only lasted a short while before she felt an intense, addictive stimulation. She wouldn't have let go if it hadn't been so large that it made her feel nauseous.

After she recovered for a while, Kachina fed her again.

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Ryan's head.

No, Your Majesty Kachina, what kind of fetish have you suddenly developed?

Have you fallen in love with PUBG?

However, as a gentleman, Ryan naturally wouldn't refuse such a request. So, in the nearly ten minutes of tug-of-war that followed, Kachina gave in three times before finally stopping, satisfied.

However, another important reason for stopping was that 'Kachina' had a fit of rage.

"Kachia, how long are you going to keep eating! Get to work!!!"

For a brief moment, Kachina regained control of her body and let out a soul-searching cry. Then Ryan was completely stunned. What was going on? Was that Kachia just now???

Looking at the girl squatting in front of him, blinking and licking her lips, Ryan was honestly confused. He had no idea that Kachia was in control, but it turned out to be true.

Kachia didn't care about her sister's roar. After all, Kachina had agreed to let her go first. The condition was that she needed Kachina's body. Since the two had reached an agreement, Kachina had no right to stop her from doing whatever she wanted.

However, Kachia originally only wanted to try out the 'theories' she had read in Kachina's room before, but it turned into a new hobby. Although it seemed a bit shameful, Kachia found it exciting and had a sense of psychological transgression, especially since she was using Kachina's body at the moment.

It was thrilling, an unprecedented thrill, a feeling of stealing, a stealing but not quite stealing. In short, Kachia really enjoyed the feeling.

But in any case, business is more important. After the fusion, her and Kachina's status is already very close to the Eighth Tier, so they need to try to see if they can break through.

A dazed Ryan was pushed onto the bed, and the Knight's Punishment pierced him from head to toe. Then, Kachia let out a low groan of discomfort, and the slowly seeping blood resolved a question that had been lingering in Ryan's mind—he was still a virgin after the fusion.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Ryan was asleep.

But the second, the third... countless rays of sunlight shone into the room, and Ryan was still asleep.

Around noon, Ryan finally yawned and got out of bed. He glanced at the messy room, got dressed, and went outside, where he found the head maid Noel, waiting for him.

"Good morning, Rider Ryder... oh no, good afternoon." Noel bowed respectfully.

What are you doing here?

"His Your Majesty instructed me to wait here and prepare a room for Rider Ryder."

"Which Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty Kachina"

"..."

Ryan had a strange expression, thinking to himself, "You knew the room was messy, so why were you so rough last night?"

Ryan finally understood what it meant to say that there's no such thing as a field that's been over-plowed, only an ox that's died from exhaustion. He was completely worn out after a whole night of fussing, but the Geminis were still able to get up early and were full of energy.

However, Kachia's experiment was a failure. It proved that although the dual cultivation method was good, it could not allow the twins to break through the last barrier and enter the Eighth Tier after fusion.

Perhaps more attempts are needed, but Ryan feels the focus is on quality rather than quantity. Unless he uses the power of the Earth Mark, it's unlikely he can reach the Eighth Tier through sprinting.

Kachia herself, having already benefited from the blessing, actually has a better chance of breaking through on her own.

"That's good too. If the Geminis reach the Eighth Tier so quickly, their minds will definitely become more active again."

Currently, his Alts are not strong enough. His strongest, 'Shally,' can fight against seventh-tier opponents, but she would definitely die if she encountered Eighth Tier. 'Adele', on the other hand, has a promising future, but 'Adele' and the witch K are both in the Southern Continent and cannot participate in the imperial struggle for the time being.

After letting Noel clean the room, Ryan finished his breakfast and started the game, checking the development status of each Alts. Not long after, Kachina came to find him.

This time it was just Kachina alone; as for Kachia, she was preparing for peace talks with the Northern Continent soon.

"My sister plans to extend the empire eastward and expand its influence," Kachina said, referring to what she had just discussed with Kachia. "An attack on the Northern Continent is impossible; we can only try heading east."

Although the Arcadia Empire dominates the Eastern Continent, there are still many other kingdoms and duchies here. Kachia has long wanted to eliminate these forces, but unfortunately, the Gate of Janus always interferes in secret to prevent the Arcadia power from becoming too great.

However, recently, the power of the Gate of Janus seems to be shrinking. According to messages relayed by their people in the church, the cardinals have been busy suppressing the Chaos Space, and the influence of the Outer Gods is growing, Gate of Janus with little time to attend to it.

This is also why they want to work hard to maintain stability on the mainland.

In addition, the Pope's continued absence has caused unease within the Church. In the past, there were occasional orders from His Holiness the Pope, but for the past two weeks, there has been no sound at all.

With the Pope absent, the power of the Cardinal Bishop began to expand, and the Saintess Faction was also on the rise, so it could be said that the Gate of Janus was in complete disarray.

Beset by internal and external troubles, Kachia wanted to take this opportunity to expand the empire's territory further. Even if it was just for recuperation, the strength of the Arcadia Empire was enough to easily crush the countries of the Eastern Continent.

"Expansion is no problem...but Your Majesty, has the Empire considered developing in the Southern Continent? The Northern Continent is impossible now, but the Southern Continent is an opportunity, isn't it?" Ryan asked.

"The Southern Continent?" Kachina frowned. "That place is very chaotic, with various churches vying for power in a complex web. Even if the empire sends troops there, it will be difficult to seize territory."

Ryan chuckled, "The struggle for faith can't be won by the Imperial army alone."

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"I want to represent the empire's past in developing faith and establishing the influence of the Church of the Earth Goddess."

"But the Earth Goddess already has a church."

Each of the major gods has its own religious church, and among the Earth Goddess, the most powerful is the 'Ring of Abundance'. This church believes that the Earth Goddess is the mother of all things and the creator of the world. For thousands of years, it has been fighting openly and covertly with the Gate of Janus, with the battles going back and forth.

However, the Ring of Abundance is outwardly a 'righteous' force, mainly active in the Eastern Continent, but also wielding considerable influence in the Southern Continent.

"What's the big deal?" Ryan said nonchalantly. "Gods will never have too much faith, and besides, I am the Chosen of the Earth God. I am absolutely confident that I can win over more people. Once I establish my power in the Southern Continent and things stabilize, the Empire can then make its move. At that point, the plan to occupy the Southern Continent will be half successful."

"But... this is too dangerous."

Kachina also thought Ryan's plan was feasible, but the problem was that the Southern Continent was too chaotic. The church's power was complex, which meant there were many Supernatural Being. Ryan was just a mere Fourth Tier Little Camilla; wouldn't he be wiped out in no time?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm capable of protecting myself," Ryan laughed. "Besides, didn't you give me so many things to save my life? If I can't beat you, can't I just run away?"

"Um... I... I'll go talk to my sister about it."

Kachina hurriedly ran off to discuss it with Kachia.

Ryan stroked his chin. His reason for proposing to establish a power base was certainly not because he intended to worship some Earth Goddess. Who was that? He didn't know her!

He planned to seize the opportunity to establish his own faith-based power. Only when everyone believed in Balshatt could the world become a better place. It just so happened that Witch K was about to establish her own power base, so he planned to infiltrate it, play duos with his 'Adele' wife, and with that, his grand plan would surely succeed.

Chapter 182 Ryan: Old Joe, there's a beautiful noblewoman here.

The twins eventually agreed to Ryan's proposal.

In fact, Ryan noticed that ever since Kachia had a deep conversation with him, she seemed to have lost interest in politics and would tend to ask for his opinion on everything.

It's worth noting that in the past, when dealing with political affairs, Kachia wouldn't even consult Kachina... Well, while this was essentially because the latter preferred to be a hands-off manager, it also shows that in the Arcadia Empire, Kachia had always held absolute power in political matters.

Kachina explained this situation as 'My sister plans to achieve her goal indirectly, aiming to break through to the Eighth Tier.'

Once they reach the Eighth Tier, Arcadia will have an absolute advantage in terms of high-level combat power within the Empire. Even the Gate of Janus will find it difficult to forcefully interfere with their actions.

Even if we don't conquer the Northern Continent, taking half of the Northern Federation's territory shouldn't be a problem.

However, Ryan still felt something was off, because Kachia's changes during this period were indeed very obvious, whether it was in the previous PUBG game or in her attitude towards him, it even made Ryan feel that Kachia treated him more like Prince.
