Chapter 22: Celestia’s Refusal
Celestia's armor clanged as she stepped through the ruined halls, golden sunlight catching on the polished steel, reflecting off her white-blonde hair cascading in a thick braid down her back. Her blue eyes were cold, focused, sharp enough to cut. The symbol of the goddess burned on her breastplate, her sword at her hip, the weight of her faith grounding her.
Around her, the court whispered. The maids with vines around their ankles, the priestesses with glyphs glowing faintly beneath their robes, the warriors who had tasted the Tyrant's seed and found themselves kneeling in devotion. They looked at her with fear—and desire. They could smell her purity, the last bastion of resistance, the clean, holy scent of someone untainted.
She ignored them.
At the throne room's shattered doors, she stopped, her gauntleted hand resting on the hilt of her blade.
> "Kaito Tanaka," she called, her voice ringing like a bell.
The vines parted for her, hissing, recognizing the divine light that clung to her skin, refusing to touch her.
She stepped through.
---
He sat upon the blackened throne, the vines coiling lazily around its base, the scent of incense and corruption thick in the air. His shirt was open, the black runes on his arms and chest faint, his golden eyes sharp, following her as she walked forward.
Kaori lay at his feet, resting on a cushion, her head on his knee, the glyphs on her skin softly pulsing, her belly warm with the seed she had anchored within herself, her eyes closing as she slept.
Nyxa leaned against a pillar, sharpening her blade, the rune-marks on her thighs glowing faintly under her short black skirt, her lips curling in a smirk as she watched.
Seraphina knelt in quiet prayer, her holy robes discarded, her breasts marked with faint glyphs, her hands resting on her belly as she hummed softly, her eyes glazed with devotion.
They all turned to look at Celestia.
They all knew.
---
> "You should not have come here," Kaito said, his voice calm, carrying the weight of the Seed's darkness behind it.
Celestia stepped forward, drawing her blade, the steel shining with divine light.
> "Release them," she commanded. "End this corruption before it consumes everything you love."
Kaito tilted his head, a slow, humorless smile crossing his lips.
> "You think you can save them?"
> "I will save them."
---
The vines slithered forward, reaching for her ankles.
She moved.
Her blade sang, cutting through the vines, severing them, the ends hissing and shriveling in holy light. Her feet danced across the black marble, every step precise, every strike righteous.
> "You think your faith will protect you?" Kaito asked, standing, his presence filling the room.
> "My faith will protect me," she replied, her eyes narrowing.
She lunged.
---
Their clash was thunder and lightning.
Celestia's blade met the vines, holy light burning through corrupted darkness, each strike forcing Kaito to move, to block, to respect her. Her blade was faster than Nyxa's, guided by faith and fury, cutting clean lines of light through the shadows.
> "You are strong," Kaito admitted, his eyes gleaming gold, sweat on his skin as he moved to avoid a slice meant for his throat.
> "Because I have something worth protecting," Celestia hissed, pressing forward.
> "And what is that?"
> "Purity."
---
She forced him back, her blade at his chest, the tip glowing with divine light.
> "It's over, Kaito," she said, breathing heavily, sweat dripping down her temple, her armor shifting with each breath.
His eyes flickered down, and hers followed.
His cock was hard, pressing against the fabric of his pants, pulsing, leaking, the scent of it suddenly thick in the air, sweet, sharp, corrupted. Her breath hitched, a single moment of hesitation, as the scent reached her.
> "Celestia," Kaito whispered, leaning forward, his forehead almost touching hers. "You smell it, don't you?"
Her eyes widened, her blade shaking.
> "No," she breathed.
> "You do."
---
The vines struck.
They wrapped around her ankles, pulling her feet out from under her, slamming her onto her back, her sword clattering away, skidding across the marble. She screamed, thrashing, but the vines were faster, stronger, coiling around her wrists, pinning her arms above her head, spreading her legs apart.
Her armored chest heaved, the light from her blade flickering as it lay out of reach, her blue eyes wide with fear—and something else—as Kaito stepped over her, looking down.
> "I don't want to do this, Celestia," he said softly.
> "Then don't," she begged, her voice trembling.
> "You came here to save them. To save me." His eyes darkened, black lightning crackling around his irises. "But purity like yours calls to the Seed. It needs you."
---
He knelt between her spread legs, his hands reaching up to her breastplate.
> "No—no—stop—" she screamed, her legs kicking, the vines tightening, pulling her knees up, exposing the white undergarments clinging to her heat.
Her armor cracked under his hands, the divine light shattering as he ripped it away, piece by piece, until she lay before him in only the thin cloth that clung to her body, her breasts rising and falling rapidly, nipples hard under the fabric, the scent of her purity mixing with the corrupted air.
> "You're shaking," he whispered.
> "I won't let you—" she sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
---
His hand pressed against her lower belly, feeling the heat of her body through the thin cloth, the purity that made her so powerful trembling beneath his touch.
> "You're going to save us, Celestia," he said, his voice dark, gentle, final.
His fingers slid under the fabric, pulling it aside, exposing her untouched core, her folds glistening despite her tears, her body betraying her as it reacted to his heat.
> "No—no, please—" she whimpered.
> "Shh," he whispered.
He pressed the head of his cock against her entrance, the thickness forcing her folds to spread, the heat of him making her gasp, her back arching off the floor.
> "You're mine now."
Celestia's breath came in ragged gasps as the head of Kaito's cock pressed against her untouched entrance, the heat of him searing against her trembling folds, slick despite the tears streaming down her cheeks. Her blue eyes were wide, terrified, but the faintest shimmer of something else flickered beneath the fear—a betrayal of her body, a crack in her faith.
> "Please—Kaito—don't—" she begged, her voice breaking as the vines tightened around her wrists and thighs, pulling her legs further apart, exposing her glistening slit to the cool air and the heat of his corruption.
Kaito's golden eyes darkened, the black lightning crackling as he looked down at her, his cock twitching, leaking pre against her sensitive skin.
> "I don't want to hurt you, Celestia," he whispered, leaning down, his lips brushing her ear, his breath hot. "But your purity calls to the Seed."
Her body shivered violently, her back arching off the cold marble as the tip of his cock pressed harder, spreading her folds, forcing her to feel the thickness, the heat, the wrongness of it. Her eyes fluttered, her lips parting as a strangled whimper escaped.
> "I—will—not—break—" she choked out, her hands clenching into fists, her holy glyph faintly flickering on her neck.
---
But her body betrayed her.
A soft, wet sound echoed as the head finally slipped past her entrance, her tight walls squeezing around him reflexively, the pain and heat blending into a shock that made her cry out, her legs trembling violently in the vines' grip.
> "Ah—! N-no—stop—get it out—" she screamed, tears falling freely as her body was forced to accept the intrusion, her virgin flesh stretching around the thick head of his cock.
Kaito groaned, his hands gripping her hips as he pushed deeper, inch by inch, her body resisting him, clinging to him, pulling him deeper despite her cries. Her walls fluttered, clenching, spasming around him, wetness pooling beneath her as the holy knight's purity was claimed.
> "You're so tight, Celestia," he groaned, his head falling forward, his breath hot against her neck. "Your body wants this, even if your mind doesn't."
> "No—no—it doesn't—I—I hate you—I—" Her words cut off with a scream as he sank fully inside her, the base of his cock pressing against her entrance, the bulge visible in her lower belly, her womb forced to accommodate the corruption invading her.
---
She sobbed, her hands pulling against the vines as her body convulsed, her holy glyph sparking, flickering, but failing to drive out the heat now spreading through her belly, the pulsing throb of his cock inside her sending waves of corrupt pleasure through her.
> "I'm going to save you, Celestia," he whispered, pulling back slowly, almost all the way out, before thrusting back in, forcing another scream from her throat.
> "No—ah—stop—please—no more—" she sobbed, her legs kicking weakly, her eyes rolling back as her body reacted, her folds growing wetter, the slickness allowing him to move more easily.
> "Say it," he growled, his thrusts picking up, the sounds of their bodies meeting echoing through the chamber. "Say you're mine."
> "N-never—ah—ah—ah—stop—" she gasped, each thrust forcing a broken moan from her lips, her holy glyph flickering wildly, the glow growing weaker with each cry.
---
Her breasts bounced with each thrust, her nipples hard and sensitive as they brushed against the vines coiling around her chest, squeezing them, pinching them, forcing her body to react further, her back arching, tears falling as she tried to fight the pleasure.
> "I can feel it," Kaito groaned, his eyes locked on her face. "Your body is drinking it in, Celestia."
> "Ah—ah—no—no—no—" she whimpered, her thighs trembling as her walls clenched around him, her first orgasm ripping through her, her mind breaking for a moment as her body betrayed her completely.
She screamed, her head thrown back, her hair spilling across the marble as she came, her pussy milking his cock, her juices dripping down her thighs, soaking the vines below her.
> "Yes—cum for me—let it in—" Kaito growled, thrusting harder, deeper, each thrust forcing a choked sob from her lips.
---
The holy glyph on her neck shattered, the divine light snuffing out as the corruption fully claimed her body, leaving only the glow of the Seed's glyphs as they burned into her skin, wrapping around her thighs, her belly, her breasts, her neck.
> "No—no—no—" she sobbed weakly, the last of her resistance fading.
> "You're mine now, Celestia," Kaito whispered, his thrusts becoming erratic as he neared release, the black runes on his body flaring as the Seed demanded its due.
> "Please—don't—inside—" she whimpered, her eyes pleading.
> "Too late."
---
With a final, deep thrust, he buried himself fully inside her, the bulge in her belly pressing outward as he exploded, pumping hot, corrupted seed deep into her womb. The glyphs on her belly flared brightly, locking the seed inside her, forcing her womb to accept it, to anchor it.
Celestia screamed, her body convulsing as another orgasm ripped through her, her vision going white, her mind blanking as the pleasure and corruption overwhelmed her, forcing her to cum again and again as he filled her.
Her legs twitched, her toes curling, her eyes rolling back as her tongue lolled from her mouth, the glyphs on her body burning softly as they sealed the corruption within her, marking her as the Seed Tyrant's.
---
When it ended, Kaito pulled out, his cock slipping free with a wet sound, his seed leaking from her swollen, gaping entrance, dripping down her thighs, the vines loosening as her body slumped to the floor, twitching, broken, claimed.
Her eyes fluttered open, glassy, unfocused, tears still falling as she whispered:
> "I… am… yours…"
Her hand weakly moved to her lower belly, feeling the warmth of his seed inside her, the glyphs glowing softly as the corruption settled, claiming her purity, transforming it into something new.
Celestia lay on the cold marble, the first rays of dawn illuminating her bare, trembling body. Her thighs were still parted, her swollen, red entrance leaking Kaito's thick, corrupted seed down her legs, pooling beneath her. The glyphs glowed softly on her pale skin, wrapped around her thighs, across her lower belly, around her breasts, and circling her throat like a collar.
Each breath she took was ragged, shaky, her lungs burning, her mind foggy as the Seed's warmth pulsed within her womb, each slow, molten beat a reminder of what had been forced into her. Her hand slid down, trembling, pressing against her lower belly where the heat was strongest.
> It's inside me.
The thought made her stomach clench, tears welling in her eyes again, but something else stirred beneath the fear—a warmth that wasn't entirely unwelcome. Her folds fluttered weakly, the sensitivity there sharp, aching, her body still twitching from the forced orgasms, her nipples hard against the cold air.
> Why… why does it feel so… warm?
---
A shadow fell over her.
Kaori stood beside her, hair loose, glyphs glowing softly beneath her skin, her swollen belly a gentle curve as she carried the Seed's stabilized power within herself. She looked down at Celestia, eyes soft, kind, understanding.
> "It's frightening at first," Kaori said softly, kneeling beside her, her warm hand brushing Celestia's tear-streaked cheek. "But it doesn't hurt anymore, does it?"
Celestia flinched at the touch, but didn't pull away, her blue eyes locking onto Kaori's. Tears spilled again, her lips trembling.
> "I… I hate you…" she whispered, but her voice was weak, empty.
Kaori smiled sadly, leaning down to press her forehead against Celestia's, her hand sliding to rest on Celestia's lower belly, over the glowing glyphs, pressing gently.
> "You don't hate me," Kaori whispered. "You're just scared."
A shudder ran through Celestia's body as the glyphs flared softly under Kaori's touch, sending a warm ripple of heat through her womb, making her gasp, her thighs twitching as her folds clenched weakly, leaking more of Kaito's seed.
> "Ah—stop—don't—" Celestia whimpered, her back arching as the warmth spread further, the seed inside her reacting to Kaori's touch.
> "It's alive inside you now," Kaori murmured, kissing Celestia's forehead. "You're a part of us. You're not alone anymore."
---
Kaito stepped forward, his presence filling the room, his golden eyes steady as they met Celestia's wide, tear-filled gaze. He was bare-chested, the runes on his skin faint but pulsing softly, the scent of him thick in the air, sharp, corrupted, familiar.
Celestia's body reacted before her mind could catch up, her folds clenching, her nipples tightening, the glyphs on her skin glowing brighter in his presence. Her breath caught, her thighs trembling as the warmth in her womb pulsed in response to him.
> "Celestia," he said softly, kneeling beside her, his hand brushing her hair from her face. "You're awake."
> "Why… why did you do this to me…" she whispered, her voice breaking.
> "Because I need you," Kaito said, his voice low, honest. "The Seed needs you. Your purity was the last barrier, the final anchor to stabilize it. Now it's part of you."
Her eyes widened, horror and confusion mixing as the warmth in her womb pulsed again, sharper this time, a fluttering heat that made her hips twitch against the floor.
> "No—no—get it out—get it out of me—" she sobbed, trying to roll away, but the vines slithered forward, wrapping around her wrists and ankles, lifting her gently, turning her onto her back once more.
---
Nyxa approached from the shadows, her eyes glinting, a smirk on her lips as she looked down at Celestia's trembling, naked body. She knelt on Celestia's other side, her gloved hand sliding down to rest on Celestia's inner thigh, squeezing it softly, making the holy knight flinch.
> "I told you," Nyxa whispered, her lips brushing Celestia's ear, "no one can resist him."
> "Shut up—shut up—" Celestia sobbed, her thighs trying to close, but the vines forced them apart again, her body betraying her as her folds glistened in the dawn light.
---
The Seed pulsed inside her womb, stronger now, a slow, coiling heat that made her vision blur, her hips lifting slightly, seeking friction despite her tears.
> "No—no—I won't—I can't—" she gasped.
Kaito leaned down, pressing his forehead to hers, his breath warm.
> "Let it in, Celestia," he whispered. "You're safe now. Let it become a part of you."
Her lips trembled, her blue eyes locking onto his golden gaze, tears spilling as her thighs shook violently, the warmth in her womb growing into a sharp, aching need that made her gasp, her back arching.
> "Ah—ah—Kaito—please—make it stop—"
> "There's only one way to make it stop," he whispered.
Her eyes widened.
> "No—no—please—"
But it was too late.
---
The vines lifted her hips, angling her, her swollen, wet entrance exposed, trembling. Kaito's cock was already hard, the head glistening with pre as he pressed it against her folds, the heat of him making her gasp, her thighs twitching as the glyphs flared brightly.
> "No—no—don't—please—" she sobbed, but her hips lifted against him, her body betraying her as the Seed demanded its anchor.
> "You're mine, Celestia," Kaito growled, pushing forward.
The head slipped inside, forcing her folds apart once more, the stretch making her cry out, her eyes rolling back as the pleasure and corruption hit her all at once.
> "AH—ah—no—stop—please—" she screamed, but her walls clenched around him, sucking him deeper as he pushed forward, inch by inch, until he was fully inside, pressing against the warmth in her womb, the glyphs locking around them both.
---
Kaori and Nyxa leaned down, kissing her cheeks, whispering softly as she sobbed, her body convulsing.
> "It's okay," Kaori whispered.
> "You're ours now," Nyxa purred.
Kaito began to move, slow, deep thrusts that made her body sing with corrupted pleasure, her hips moving despite herself, her breasts bouncing with each thrust, the glyphs glowing brighter with every cry, every gasp, every broken moan.
> "You're mine," Kaito growled again, his thrusts picking up, the sounds of their bodies slapping together filling the chamber.
Celestia's screams turned to moans, her tears mixing with drool as her tongue lolled out, her eyes rolling back, her walls milking him desperately as the Seed within her finally settled, anchoring itself to her purity, transforming it into something new.
---
She came, hard, her body arching violently, a silent scream tearing from her throat as her folds convulsed around him, her juices spraying across his thighs, soaking the vines below. The glyphs on her skin flared one final time, locking the corruption inside her, sealing her fate as the Seed's holy vessel.
Kaito roared, his cock swelling as he came inside her again, pumping hot, corrupted seed deep into her womb, forcing it to mix with the Seed already within her, completing the bond, making her his.
---
When it ended, Celestia collapsed against the vines, panting, sweat and tears dripping from her face, her body limp and twitching, the glyphs glowing softly as the dawn light washed over her.
Her blue eyes opened slowly, glassy, but clear, her hand moving weakly to rest on her lower belly.
> "I… I'm yours…" she whispered.
Kaito leaned down, kissing her softly.
> "You're safe now."
And for the first time, Celestia did not resist.
