Chapter 205: Bonus Trait

[Rewards Initiating...]

[Bonus Trait Pending...]

Kaiden suddenly stopped, his mind observing the unexpected message.

’Bonus trait?’ he questioned inwardly.

[Rewards Initiating...]

[Bonus Trait Unlocked.]

[Analyzing Sinsworn Synergy...]

The Paragon of Sin and his Valkyries have exhibited an accelerated bonding rate. Despite the minimal shared history, the depth of trust, emotional resonance, and synergy between the Successor and his Sinsworn has surpassed initial projections.

The bond has evolved beyond mere loyalty. It now forms the foundation of a new power structure, one driven not by hierarchy, but by mutual elevation.

The minimum bonding threshold was surpassed. Manifesting emergent trait.

[Yang of the Demon, Yin of the Sinsworn]

The primal Yang of the Demon within you has found its counterbalance in the Yin of your Sinsworn. This union forms a symbiotic engine of growth, power, and protection.

[Mutual Resonance] — Tier I: Awakened Link

Your bond has reached the initial threshold required for energetic circulation. Passive benefits are now unlocked.

Note: Yin must be actively harvested once per day to maintain effects. Unharvested Yin decays after 24 hours.

Yang-based benefits apply only to bonded Sinsworn currently storing your Yang energy in their womb.

🔹 Gift of the Sinsworn

[Yin Purification]

Their nurturing Yin calms your inner core, increasing recovery efficiency.

✦ +10% Mana regeneration per Sinsworn with actively harvested Yin

✦ Effect stacks with strength and emotional depth of the bond

[Resilient Core]

Their presence tempers your chaotic Demon essence, strengthening mental control.

✦ +10% Resistance to psychic interference, spiritual corruption, and mental instability

🔹 Gift of the Demon

[Yang Overflow]

Your Yang energy enhances your bonded Sinsworn’s internal reserves.

✦ +20% to their Max Mana while carrying your Yang

[Great Demon’s Shelter]

Your essence wraps them in an instinctual warding aura.

✦ +20% Resistance to fear, charm, illusion, and emotional manipulation

✦ Effect persists only while bonded Sinsworn retains Yang essence internally

Resonance Status: Stable | Tier I

Deepen your spiritual, emotional, and physical bond to unlock further evolutions.

Kaiden exhaled quietly, doing his best not to show strong reactions in case people were watching him. His mind’s eyes read over the [Yang of the Demon, Yin of the Sinsworn] trait many times.

It was very unexpected... but certainly welcomed.

He wasn’t going to complain about passive mana regen and mental resistance for him and increased mana and mental resistance for his girls.

Not when the price of keeping the passive abilities rolling was to do what he would’ve done anyway: having steamy sex with his lovers.

Indeed... to keep the benefits flowing, all he’d have to do is harvest Yin from each of them once a day.

Daily sex.

With Luna. With Aria. With Nyx.

Just to keep the buff active.

If he made love to all three, he’d have a 30% bonus to mana regen, and his mind would be shielded by the Sinsworn’s essence, becoming stronger, clearer, and safer.

And this was just Tier I.

A baseline.

Even still...

He glanced toward the three women with mixed feelings.

Could this truly be only Tier One?

He didn’t know what love was supposed to feel like in this new world, but he sure as hell knew loyalty, devotion, and desire.

He’d seen it in Luna’s worried eyes.

Felt it in Aria’s soft touch.

Heard it in Nyx’s wild laughter that always rang louder when he was nearby.

He’d die for them.

They’d kill for him.

So what was holding the resonance back?

Kaiden sighed. Maybe it was just a matter of time.

That’s when the next message arrived.

[Success Reward: Initiating...]

[Abyssal Redaction] — Activated

Tracing residual data paths...

Locating shadow vaults, pirate mirrors, offline archives...

[Eradicating.]

—

College Dorm, Undisclosed Location

"Bro, look at her giant tits bobbing up and down. This shit is crazy!"

The roommate turned in his chair with a slice of pizza hanging out of his mouth. "You downloaded that before they took it down, right?"

"Hell yeah. All backed up in the... wait."

His fingers hovered over the file directory.

Empty.

"...The hell?"

He refreshed the page. Opened the backup vault.

Still empty.

A window popped up:

"This file no longer exists."

"Wait, what?"

—

A Seedy Studio Executive, Late Night Office

"...what do you mean they’re gone?"

His voice cracked. He clicked through folder after folder on his terabyte drive. He knew he hid them well. Air-gapped backup. No online connection.

He opened one of the last files left.

It blinked.

Then melted into static.

[ERROR: Redacted by Unknown Authority.]

His jaw fell wide open as an uncontrollable shiver ran up his spine.

"What. The. Fuck."

—

[Abyssal Redaction Complete.]

All unauthorized content featuring the Valhalla’s Sinners has been permanently deleted from non-awakened-platform-integrated sources.

Blacklisted footage will no longer be accessible through pirate networks or civilian mirrors.

Kaiden’s interface dimmed.

The message faded.

But the weight of it remained.

The old footage—their past, their beginning—was no longer a liability.

It was erased.

For good.

But Kaiden wasn’t done just yet.

With the [Abyssal Redaction] complete and the shadows of their past scrubbed from every dark corner of the internet, it was time to move onto Phase Two which they planned to initiate after the ’Burn the Bridges’ quest was completed.

He opened his System overlay and navigated through the sleek interface until he reached the Awakened Media Platform, the bleeding-edge network where awakeners streamed both combat and carnal art to the masses.

He tapped open the dashboard.

Valhalla’s Sinners — Creator Hub

He reached the Settings tab.

A moment passed.

Then another.

And with a command of his mind, he tapped into the access restriction controls.

The system loaded.

Kaiden’s mind hovered over a toggle.

He pressed it.

And the platform... obeyed.

—

The room was dark.

In the middle of it, one man could be seen.

Or rather, one devotee, kneeling on the floor, palms pressed together like a monk before his shrine.

His shrine just so happened to be a paused scene of Supreme Empress Luna, standing in a steamy shower, her soaked hair clinging to her flushed skin like sacred threads.

"Perfect..." he whispered.

A tear fell.

"PERFECT!! The goddess above all others! Luna-sama, my Empress, my sacred idol...!" He wailed into the void, voice cracking with zeal.

He wasn’t even aroused. That stage had long passed.

No. He was just witnessing her as if the girl was a celestial event instead of a young mortal woman.

"Supreme Empress, please bless me with your next video, I’m begging!!!"

"Huh?"

The screen flickered.

Paused.

Closed.

"... What the fuck?"

He opened another video. Or at least, he tried.

Gone.

"...No. No no no."

He opened another.

Gone.

Another.

Only one remained.

Bastet’s Subjugation. The one that consumed the world in a storm.

"WHERE IS THE SUPREME EMPRESS?!" he screamed, scrambling up and typing like a demon-possessed. "WHERE IS HER SHOWER PLAY!?! THE SACRED SHOWER!!!"

His breath came in wild pants.

Then, a notification blinked at the top of his HUD.

📢 Announcement from Valhalla’s Sinners!

[Important Notice: Content Availability Change]

Effective immediately, all adult content featuring members of Valhalla’s Sinners will no longer be available to male users. This decision was made after careful consideration and is final. We will not be reconsidering.

"WHAT?!"

He screeched like a bat in a blender. His mother was already on her way up with both slippers in hand, but the man didn’t care one bit as he continued screaming from the top of his lungs.
