Greed God chapter 209

April 9th 2016 Brightedge City, Hall of Nevers, 10:00 AM EDT

Barbie  lasted the whole night, which was nice. I'd expected her to pass out  halfway through. Being an E ranker clearly gave her a serious boost. She  did end up going to fuck Donna like I told her, but not after the first  round. After she left I went to sleep and waking up the next morning I  felt absolutely fantastic. It was nice to decompress and pound out a bit  of nostalgia on my favorite copper top.

When I got down  to the kitchen for breakfast, everyone was already there. Barbie was  glowing, Donna wouldn't meet my eyes, and the others were mostly  chattering happily. Dinah, who was cooking this morning, saw me enter  the kitchen and rolled her eyes with a teasing smile. "You made the brat  into a morning person, will miracles never cease." I grinned back at  her and leaned down for a quick kiss, then gave her a slap on the ass as  I darted away.

Seeing my milfy baby mama blush after she  squeaked like a teenage girl from a little spank was already the  highlight of my day. "So." I said, Leaning over on the counter. "What's  the plan for today? Anyone hear back from anyone about the whole vampire  goddess resurrection plot? Because I'll be honest, I want to take a  hard pass on playing juicebox to a ten thousand year old goth dommy  mommy." I paused. "Although...no that would get old after like an hour.  Yeah, that's a firm no."

Cassie giggled, and I shot the  teen a wink, getting a blush in return, and a glare from Leslie when I  paid attention to the other girl. She didn't seem upset at Cassie, just  annoyed that I wasn't being as affectionate with her. "Barbara told  Donna about that last night. Donna was catching me up before you came  in. I can't believe Lilith is real. My mom is an archeologist so I've  heard of a lot of random myths. Lilith is a pretty scary lady."

Barbie  shook her head. "Based on the research the apocrypha from the bible is  wrong. Lilith, in the myths, was supposed to be Adam's first wife, who  was kicked out of Eden for failing to obey her husband. There wasn't  much about her in the notebook, but it mentioned her being married to  Cain, the first vampire, who was Adam's oldest son." She shot Cassie an  interested look. "Could you ask your mom to look into that more though? I  hadn't considered the mortal archeological angle."

The  tiny blonde powerhouse shrugged. "Sure. She loves that kind of stuff.  She's a total mythology nerd, how else do you think she hooked up with a  greek god in todays day and age?" I refrained from pointing out that  she was massively overestimating her dads standards when it came to  women. Zeus was a pretty live and let live guy about who or what he  dicked down. Though from what I'd heard the line was pretty much 'hot',  so her mom was probably a fox.

I briefly entertained the  idea of plowing Mrs. Sandsmark after I nailed her daughter, if only to  claim I hit it better than the king of the gods, but I was already  pretty full up on pussy without flying across the country to nail random  milfs for the accolades. Maybe once Cassie was nice and broken in if  her mom visited we could her a Gotham Goodbye (By which I meant a  threesome, and not the infamous sex move involving getting a can of cold  soup up her ass. Honestly, even I had standards.) but until them I'd  settle for some info.

Checking my phone, I realized I did  actually have a missed call (I keep my phone on silent while I sleep,  because fuck everyone else I'm snoozing) from Zee. I hit the call button  and waited for her to answer. When she said hello I put on a deep raspy  voice and said. "Have you checked...on the children?"

She  replied very seriously "I already ate them." I cracked up at that.  There was a reason I roped Zee in, aside from her ridonculous tits and  ass. "I see you got my call. This is pretty early for you to be awake.  You just come off an all nighter power banging one of your floozies?"

"I  believe YOU are one of my floozies. And no, I only spent MOST of the  night power banging, I got several hours of sleep. Did you manage to dig  anything up on that thing I asked you to look into?" I saw various eye  rolls and glowers from the other girls as they overheard the  conversation. Whisper, who had taken over for Dinah making breakfast,  actually got distracted and stopped cooking, only to receive a spatula  slap to her fat ass from aformentioned baby mama and get back to work.

"Hey,  I an NOT a floozy. I'm a trollop. It sounds fancier. But yes, I looked  into Lilith a bit. We have a few books about her in the library, I had  my book bitche-I mean my apprentices working through the night, and I  joined them when I woke up. Mostly got some interesting historical  anecdotes, a few mentions of the pool you were talking about. But more  specifically, I figured out WHY no one continued the attempt. Turns out,  they actually tried to resurrect her here, or rather in Gotham  specifically. This was like, a hundred years ago plus. But there was a  huge earthquake, the cathedral they were using got swallowed up whole."

I  groaned, and Barbie looked up in interest. I moved the phone away from  my mouth slightly. "Zee says it might be underground. They 'lost' her  location because there was an earthquake and the whole building got  sucked under." I really didn't want to have to stumble around through  the underground blind. "I don't suppose." I said to my magic girl. "That  the pretty new map I made you could find the location of that  cathedral?" Assuming it still existed and didn't get upgraded into a  fucking necropolis or something.

"Nope." Chirped the  sorceress, popping her lips. "Sadly my new travel brochure doesn't do  altitude changes. Guess you should have made a better one." Granted I'd  stopped at G rank, but come on, it was a fucking MAP, how many features  did it need?

"Which means." I sighed. "That I need to go  back down into the fucking undercity and hunt around for...somewhere.  Seriously, you can't get me a fucking radius or something?" I supposed I  could ask Tamlin, but given how squirrely he'd been about the vampire  thing I was hesitant to tell him what was going on until I'd gotten the  chance to look into it a bit more. Something was off with this whole  thing.

Zee made a contemplative noise. "Possibly. I can  try a search for wellsprings of powerful necromantic energy. I can't  promise what you find will be Lilith though. This is...well, WAS Gotham.  Plenty of dead badasses buried or lurking around here."

I  rolled my eyes. "Well we can rule out Slaughter Swamp. Don't need an  earthquake for a building to sink into that shit pit. I'd prefer to  avoid that chalky roid rager Grundy if possible. I dislike dealing with  things you can't reason with." I paused thoughtfully. "I mean, I guess I  could give him a redhead, but I'm attached to all of mine." I yelped  and ducked out of the way of an orange that was hurled at my head,  flashing Barbie a grin. "I joke, I joke."

There was a  laugh from the other line. "I'll try my best to do some research and  eliminate the unlikely spots, but things have changed a lot in the city.  I have no way of knowing what necromantic hotspots are new or have been  altered by whatever happened." She said 'whatever happened'  sarcastically, since she'd seen me merge shit before, especially hte  Hall of Nevers, she knew what it looked like, and had long since guessed  the Gotham merge was me.

"That's the best I can ask for  probably." I admitted. "Any mention of a weakness for Lilith in those  books of yours? I plan to avoid confronting her at all costs, but if I  can't get out of it I'd rather know what can get me out of the fight."

Going  into excited nerd mode, Zee immediately started to gush. "Weaknesses?  Not specifically. But there was a lead on someone who might know.  Apparently, Lilith and Cain played Bonnie and Clyde throughout the  ancient world, siring new kids and banging their way across the globe.  It was all good until they landed in Egypt and ran into a secret society  of warriors under Ramses II. One of them killed a kid of hers and she  went balistic, slaughtering nearly all of them. Some of them got away  and kept up the family business. They became monster hunters, and are  still active today under the name-"

I groaned. "The Order  of the Val Helsings. Because of fucking COURSE those nutjobs are the  ones who have the answers I need. Why wouldn't they be?" I really didn't  want to have to negotiate with monster hating fanatics. I considered  calling Silver, but the Court had been in Gotham a long time. If Lilith  had been worshipped here they should have known about it. I knew Silver  was mine, but if she started poking around about Lilith she might tip  off the other Court members, or even whatever the hell the Parliament  she'd mentioned was.

"Okay." I  said slowly, thinking things through. "Can you get me a location on the  Order while you're making that list?" I doubted those rabid assholes  would be happy about it, but if Lilith was half the threat I suspected,  they'd have to at least hear me out. I didn't want to become beer  buddies or anything, I just needed some information.

Zee  made a pensive sound. "Maybe? I mean, they've been around for ages, and  you specifically told me they're crafty. They definitely have ways to  avoid tracking spells. The map might be enough to puncture whatever  their concealment is though, at least combined with my own magic. I can  give it a shot at least."

I'd  been hoping she'd say that. Using the map as a focus, Zee's D rank  strength should be enough to crack whatever low level magical bullshit  kept the Order hidden. They might indulge in magic use, but they weren't  fucking master wizards, and even if they had some powerful obscuring  artifact or something, the map was specially made to show the situation  in Brightedge by me, the person who MADE Brightedge. There was mystical  significance to that.

At  the very least it should let them know someone was looking, which would  hopefully stir them to make contact. If I had to manually search the  whole fucking town I'd do it, but I desperately wanted to avoid that  shit. I knew for sure though that finding the Order before the Court did  was a must. Sending me after the vampires (which was a trap) while they  hunted down the Order was extremely fishy to me. They might not be worshippers of Lilith, but this whole thing was starting to stink of a setup.

I  had a lot of questions, and I was pretty sure Silver didn't have the  answers. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd already started isolating her  from information sources that would be helpful once I made contact. I'd  made too big an impression, and they didn't care much about her anyway.  All I could do now was wait and see.

With  the Fear host involved, this was starting to get extremely complicated,  but far from being afraid, I found myself grinning like a madman.  Coming back from Gemworld, I'd been wanting a way to make an impression,  and a mess like this had a lot of opportunity to build a name. I might  already be up to my neck in deep water, but I was going to show the  assholes that I was a fucking shark.
