Greed God chapter 158

March 29th 2016 Gemworld 10:00 PM EDT

I  ruined both my poor little princesses. Amy was basically passed out,  and even energetic Emerald was absolutely wrecked. I slipped away from  them after they both conked out, making sure that they were cuddled up  together. I also left a note. This was a tone setter for my marriage and  it would have been ruined if Amy woke up feeling abandoned. I slipped  out of the suite and headed down a few floors to one of the bridesmaids  chambers to find Barbie. I'd promised her a surprise after the ceremony.

I  popped the door open easily enough, and closed it behind me softly.  Barbie must have been exhausted from setting up the wedding because my  poor little redhead was cuddled up in bed fast asleep. Her gorgeous  features were smoothed from their usual resting bitch face, though she  had a cute little pout that made me consider waking her with a face  fucking. In the end though I'd just been railing a pair of D-ranked  girls and I'd told her this wouldn't be sexual anyway. I had bigger  plans.

I sat down on the bed, knowing that me waking her  up gently would put her in a good mood and make this next part all the  more special. She was mine and would be even moreso when I upgraded her,  but I also wasn't above a bit of pandering, especially since we were  heading home to Gotham soon. Had to get my little redhead even more spun  up over me before we were back with all those goody goody Leaguers who  might whisper in her ear. I put a hand on her shoulder and shook her  gently.

"Barbie." I whispered. "Time to wake up baby  girl." I leaned down to press a soft kiss to her pouty lips, and she  moaned into them a bit. I pulled back as her blue eyes fluttered open  and reached down to brush her hair out of her face. "Hey beautiful. I  promised you a present after the wedding. Amy is asleep so I figured  this counted, and I wanted to make sure I rewarded my good girl for all  her help."

Her sapphire gaze was burning into me adoringly  as she stared up at me from the bed. She looked so sweet and helpless. I  had to fight down my erection. "Daddy?" She said shakily. Her voice  sounding vulnerable. "What are you doing here?" She paused as her brain  caught up to my words. "Wait, no, I...give me a second." She sat up  slowly, rubbing her eyes a bit. "You came to give me my reward? I'll be  honest, I can't think of what it might be at this point. Aside from  something sexual, which you said it isn't, what would you need to give  me alone at night?"

I smiled at her genially. "Something  even better than sex baby girl. Power. I'm here to upgrade your  abilities like I have some of the other girls. In fact, you're going to  be the first of my girls to be upgraded as far as I am. I'm going to  boost you up to E rank in one shot." I slipped out a ring and held it up  to the light. "Of course, before that, I'm going to be making you a  trinket that'll help hide your magical signature and cloak the changes  from perception. Aside from all the nobles here, I doubt you want to go  back to Gotham looking radically changed."

She gave me a  wide smile. "That sounds...daddy, I can't even tell you how amazing that  is. I've never had powers before, and while being trained was nice and  all I..." She looked away in shame. "I was always jealous of people like  Donna and Kara." It was amusing thinking of Barbie being jealous of  Donna when I was pretty sure the Amazon wanted nothing more than a seven  course serving of batpussy. I'd get around to that later though. As  strong as I was I could probably pin and fuck her in a straight  wrestling match. Something to think about when we returned. For now, it  was time to get my redhead ready to take on the world. To start out the  process I was going to have to get the ring ready. I appraised my base  item.

[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. Common  glamour charm- G rank. A garden variety glamour used by Amethyst teens  to hide appearance changes. Commonly employed by girls who dislike their  haircuts, teens who have recently gotten a tattoo, or women who have  mysteriously gotten pregnant when their husbands are out of town. Visual  stimuli only, can be easily pierced with directed effort.]

It  was barebones, but that was fine. I picked it because it was a solid  base to work from. I just needed to properly upgrade the thing. I  reached into my bag, pulling out a pair of powerful items. A stone that  concealed aura and a potion of temporary transformation. One G ranked  and one F ranked. I merged the potion and then the stone into the ring,  upgrading it to F and then to E, the same level I was planning to take  Barbie herself to, and appraised it again.

[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. The  Rose of Pendragon-E rank. A moment of frozen history trapped in an  amber rose, deception overwriting reality itself. A powerful concealment  charm meant to hide the wearer from detection, this ring creates an  incredibly complex seeming over the target that prevents the revelation  of changes, both magical and mundane.]

The ring  had originally been a gold rose on a band, but had changed with the  additions. An amber flower unfurling from the circle of metal, the gem  was so delicately carved it looked like a real flower growing out of the  ring. I passed it to Barbie, who blushed at the symbolism and slipped  it on her finger. There was a wave of magic that rolled over her and  then back into the ring like ripples hitting the edge of a pond and  rebounding and I nodded confidently. That would be plenty of protection  for me to start working.

First I took out the chalice.  "Alright Barbie. The best bet we have for a firm foundation is this.  It'll give you some of my bloodline. Bit of dragon blood will get anyone  right. If you take this you'll be a G ranker. It'll also give you a  bloodline for me to start from as I upgrade you. The bloodline system  seems to be the most comprehensive method of upgrading a person I've  found. You could go the animal hybrid route like Whisper or the ghost  route like Cherry, but they tend to be more specialized. Physical,  spiritual, magical like Zee. Bloodlines check all the boxes, even if not  quite as well."

Barbie knew how the chalice worked of  course, she'd seen me use it dozens of times. She didn't seem upset at  the idea. "Sure." She said with a shrug. "I'm not worried about the  loyalty thing. You have me Branded anyway, and I'm already loyal.  Besides, I've been wondering what your blood tastes like. Zee seems to  enjoy it a ton." That was more a matter of magical energy than taste,  but no reason to backpedal when I'd already made the sale.

I  cut myself and passed her the chalice, letting her take a sip of it  after I gave it a few minutes to infuse the cup. She took it all in one  pull, and I caught the chalice as she fell back onto the bed with a  shudder. The tell tale green power running through her veins was easily  visible under her pale skin and her body went taught as the magical  energy started infusing into her. She was shaking and sweating and I  grimaced at the necessity. I could combine her with plenty of things,  but she wouldn't end up with a Gemworld style bloodline normally. The  chalice was a Gemworld item, and imbued Gemworld power. My bloodline  became a Gemworld bloodline when imbued through the cup, or close enough  to one.

When she stopped shaking I leaned over and pried  open her eyelids. Her eyes were still blue, which I liked. She groaned  and batted my hand away. I helped her up with a grin. "Alright, good.  You've got it. Here, let me give you a once over before we proceed." I  used my appraisal skill. I was curious to see what it would say, if I'd  ever appraised Barbie it hadn't been recent.

[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. Barbara  Gordon- G ranked dragonblooded human. Daughter of the police  commissioner of Gotham City and apprentice to Batman, Barbara has long  been dissatisfied with her lot. After being imbued with the power of  dragon blood, Barbara has acquired a bloodline, which combined with her  already prodigious mind and combat ability make her a force to be  reckoned with.]

That was...all really good  information to have. It was nice to know I'd succeeded in wrapping her  around my finger, better than even she was willing to admit apparently.  It made the trip home much less worrying. I reached into my pouch and  pulled out the Cosmic Sapphire, holding up for her to see. "Now, since  you have a bloodline that gives THIS a place to start." She stared into  the absolutely breathtaking stone with wide and fascinated eyes. "Once  we merge this in I'll be using some bloodline upgrade tools to get you  up to E rank. I don't want to dilute your new powers by spreading you  too thin. Work for you?"

She nodded, still entranced, and I  held up the stone in front of me, triggering the merge between them.  They turned into blinding light, blocking out my ability to see for a  second before she finished the merge. I pulled out the necessary  medicines, one to boost bloodline density and one to boost potency, and  combined them one after another, merging her until she reached the E  rank just like I already was before I finally appraised her again, eager  to see the difference between her then and now.

[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. Barbara  Gordon- E ranked Sapphire Noble. A new and powerful member of the  supposedly extinct Sapphire bloodline, Barbara has bloodline access to  the magic of the stars. Current lover and bound servant of Nicholas  Lord, with whom she is madly in love Barbara would do anything for her  'daddy' a fact she finds herself worrying over frequently.  Able to  divine secrets, conjure powerful stellar attacks, and even shape  starlight to form material for her own needs, Barbara represents the  most powerful aspects of a lost house Gemworld nobility with the stamina  and healing ability of one blessed by the blood of the dragon of the  vital tempest.]

As the light faded, I took in her  new features and I was...blown away. First was the hair. Barbie's hair  had been red before, but now it was literally crimson, and it fell like a  sheet of spun silk. Her eyes were still blue, but now they were the  blue of cosmic sapphire, speckled with little shining pinpoints of  starlight within her deep oceanic irises. Her lips were soft and full,  her nose longer and more patrician, and her cheekbones were higher. She  looked like the CGI sex goddess version of my Barbie, and I was so  stunned I needed a second to realize that I shouldn't be able to see  her. I calmed down when I realized the ring didn't affect me because I'd  made it that way.

I grinned down at her as she looked  over her smooth, porcelain skin and still toned but slightly taller  body. She looked almost as floored as I was. I checked my GP after all  this. Fifteen million, seven hundred and seventy eight thousand after  bringing both Barbie and the ring to E rank. Plenty left for the others.  I leaned down to sweep her up into a deep kiss as I felt her mold  herself against my side. Apparently we were on to the thanks portion of  the evening. Well, Amy would be asleep for a few more hours, and I had  said it might LEAD to sex. The things I did for my girls.
