"Mmm... why are you... even rougher than before?"
"You too, why are you moving your hips so much?"
"I'm not..."
Erica covered her flushed face, a completely subconscious action.
She didn't know why, but with Alice watching closely, she felt even more aroused than before.
"Heh... I didn't expect the King and his First Knight to have such refined tastes."
Princess Alice also had a long, sleepless night, especially after being threatened by Zhu Ganglie during the day. She couldn't fall asleep alone.
Furthermore, her five senses were exceptional, and even though the hotel room had excellent soundproofing, she could still hear sounds coming from the next room.
Then, she didn't know what happened, but she inexplicably found herself running over there, watching the two people "exercising" as if no one else was around, her heart far from as calm as her surface suggested.
---
Finally, after about another twenty minutes, the vigorous and healthy "exercise" eventually concluded.
What they saw were Erica and Liliana, panting constantly. Princess Alice suddenly remarked, "They're both mortals; they don't have a body as strong as the King's."
"It's fine, I just gave them a blessing. They'll fully recover after resting one night."
Veleslana's "Youth" incarnation, one of his ten incarnations, was bestowed upon Erica and Liliana by Kaido, one after another, this night.
If the Unbeaten God of War knew his authority was being used for such a thing, he would surely weep.
Alice remained silent, watching Kaido get out of bed, her gaze suddenly fixed on a certain spot for a while.
"I'm taking a bath, want to join?" Kaido playfully asked.
"Okay." Alice didn't refuse and followed Kaido into the bathroom.
The bathtub quickly filled with hot water. Kaido lay comfortably in it, naked, washing away the day's fatigue and grime. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare silence.
However, soon another splash was heard. A long white dress lay on the bathroom floor, and Princess Alice, slightly flushed, was also sitting across from him.
"You actually came in?" Kaido was surprised; he had only been joking before.
"Since it's an order from the King, of course I can't disobey it." Alice's voice trembled slightly, losing some of its usual elegance and gaining a bit of urgency and unease, while her beautiful pupils seemed to reveal a hint of anticipation.
Is this woman truly here to offer herself?
As he was in a state of sage, Kaido's desire wasn't as strong. Instead, contemplating the young woman's perfect body, he even had the chance to chat with her.
"Besides, the King... should still have some strength left, right?" Alice slowly closed the distance between herself and Kaido in the bathtub, then pressed herself close to him from the front.
"Are you truly ready?" Kaido's expression changed.
His attitude towards women was practically the same as before: a forced melon isn't sweet, and matters of affection take time. Therefore, except for Erica and Liliana, with whom he had a good relationship, Kaido didn't indulge in teasing.
His patience was professional, unless... he couldn't hold back.
"We've come this far, and you're still playing hard to get with me?" Princess Alice rolled her eyes.
Although she still harbored some resentment for being forcefully kidnapped at first, spending time together during this period made her change her opinion of Kaido slightly.
Of course, what truly moved her was the incident of encountering the Heretic Gods during the day.
Alice felt possessed. Would the Platinum Princess, famous in Europe for a time, take the initiative to do something so absurd?
"Then I won't be polite." Since his disguise was uncovered, Kaido didn't mind giving full rein to his true nature.
Ever since he dealt with Typhon, his status and identity had undergone a significant change. Especially this kind of life now. He was the King; in the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how unreasonable something might seem, it would always be permitted to be in his hands.
Kaido knew he had changed. So, indulging a little shouldn't matter.

"..."
He shivered again. Kaido, after finishing his bath, put on a towel and walked out of the bathroom.
Afterward, Princess Alice, with somewhat shaky steps, saw Kaido lying on the bed, arms and legs spread out, enjoying himself. She suddenly rolled her eyes and returned to her room.
She no longer wanted that man to torment her.

The next morning.
Perhaps because it had rained heavily all day yesterday, the sky over Tokyo was exceptionally clear and blue, with only scattered white clouds floating on the horizon. Although the sun shone directly on the earth as usual, it wasn't as muggy as it had been in recent days.
When Kaido woke up, he was surprised to find that the girls who had slept on either side had already left.
"Did you run off so early?" He got up, dressed, and after about five minutes of cleaning, Kaido, who had arrived in the hotel hallway, smelled a fragrance drifting through the air.
Following the scent, he came to a nearby room. The girls who had disappeared earlier were now busy inside, moving back and forth. The dining table, covered with a white tablecloth, held dishes of various styles, and an appetizing aroma wafted from them.
"What are you doing?" Kaido approached curiously, picked up a small cake with his fingers, and brought it to his mouth.
Sweet but not greasy, and with the perfect moisture. It's delicious, who made it?
"It's my honor to receive the King's recognition." Liliana replied with a smile, her hands still wearing two thick, heat-resistant gloves.
Kaido nodded and then tasted a sip of soup.
"Fresh but not salty, and the flavor is well-balanced."
"Uh... eating hotel food often isn't very good for your health, so I tried preparing something myself." Yuri Mariya said softly, holding a silver platter.
"Not bad, if you have time, make more." Kaido took a bite and found that while Yuri Mariya's cooking skills couldn't compare to a Michelin chef, it had a different, unique taste.
Perhaps this was the difference between hotel meals and home-cooked meals. After all, the ingredients and cooking methods for each are different.
"Mmm, I'll try my best!" Kaido's calm praise gave Yuri Mariya a lot of confidence; she, whose efforts were recognized, was like an elementary school student praised by her teacher.
Damn it! Why can't I even do something so simple?
Erica looked at Liliana and Yuri Mariya, who were smiling brightly, then looked at the burnt bread in front of her, gnashing her teeth unwillingly.
She wanted to be praised too! But this kind of dark cuisine would only draw laughter if presented. She herself felt like vomiting after taking a bite.
"Erica, you added too much sugar and baked it for too long." Liliana came over to take a look, smiling as she re-educated her good "sister."
These sugars represent the sweet love between the King and me! The baking time represents my burning passion for the King! This is absolutely non-negotiable, Lili, just watch from the side! I will undoubtedly find my own culinary path!
Erica completely ignored Lili's teachings and confidently plunged into the next big project.
"Forget it, do whatever you want." The silver-haired girl speechlessly looked at the stubborn Erica, finally understanding why she knew nothing about cooking.

While the girls busily worked and chatted, Kaido, sitting in his chair, enjoyed various international delicacies while examining himself. After dealing with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, he obtained a new Authority: "[Steel Body]."
In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong, upon being summoned to the Heavenly Palace as the Bimawen, didn't stay in his post. Instead, he devoted himself to consuming immortal pills, stealing imperial wine, and pilfering immortal peaches. In addition to later being captured by Taishang Laojun and refined in the alchemical furnace, he ultimately forged a body of steel, like a brass wall and an iron wall. And the origin of the "Steel Body" Authority is just like that.
"It's not the Divine Speed I wanted, which is a shame, but this Authority makes up for my current shortcomings." Kaido motioned for Ena Seishuuin to come over and peel fruit, feeling his body more resilient than ever and thinking indifferently.
When he used the True Longinus to fight him, it was extremely difficult to leave deep, bone-visible wounds on the Monkey King. In the end, he relied on the sealing power of the Golden Sword, combined with the Divine Light Sword formed by merging with the White Horse, to sever his body. If common weapons were used, they might not even break his defense.
According to his own understanding, this Authority is roughly divided into two aspects: active and passive.
"[Steel Body]"grants him a physical body far stronger than a common Godslayer. His bone and muscle strength far surpasses that of the world's hardest alloys. Even without using magical power, he can catch a burrowing missile with his hands without a problem. At the same time, his endurance, stamina, speed, and even agility have improved to a certain extent. After all, a better body naturally brings comprehensive benefits. Perhaps last night's "can't stop" also benefited from this.
And by invoking the Magic Word to release the true power of "[Steel Body]", in its active state, Kaido's body becomes even harder and more impenetrable, with much greater resilience and defense. Even if he were subjected to an attack the magnitude of a solar flare, he could withstand it for several tens of minutes without falling.
Therefore, Kaido possesses a great advantage when fighting enemies. Ordinary attacks from Heretic Gods will only leave superficial wounds; only when they deploy their abilities can they effectively harm him. However, even then, unless it's a specially prepared killing move, it will be difficult to incapacitate Kaido. This is a very powerful defensive Authority, which also compensates for the Godslayer's deficiencies in physical endurance.
Although it seemed powerful, Kaido knew that activating this Authority had two rather "fatal" flaws.
First, it has little affinity with water; fighting in water after activating this Authority would present a major obstacle.
Second, he is afraid of smoke. In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong remained unfazed by the scorching Samadhi True Fire but showed very little resistance to smoke. However, it's not ordinary smoke, but only when Heretic Gods and higher beings release fumigation smoke will it have an effect.
"Water isn't easy to handle, but there aren't any Disobedient Gods who primarily attack with smoke, so I don't have to worry about that." Kaido thought this as he clenched his fist.
Although a Godslayer's power is fixed, with the demon girl's book, the great, all-seeing, multiverse-observing BOSS Raziel nearby, he wasn't too worried about being confined to this level for his entire life.

Just as he was lost in thought, someone knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock..." A gentle tapping came from the living room door.
"King, it's Sayanomiya Kaoru." A clear voice came from outside the door.
"Come in."
With a soft opening sound, Sayanomiya Kaoru, dressed in a women's suit, appeared in the room. Her face looked somewhat haggard, with faint dark circles under her eyelids. This newly empowered young woman hadn't rested since yesterday. She had been working day and night on Mount Nikko.
