Chapter Title: God's Atlantis

"Understood. But I've got one question."
"What is it?"
"Nothing major, just curiosity. Earlier, it looked like you were controlling specters... Can you command female ghosts too?"
"...I can. Why? Got a girlfriend you miss?"
"Not that. I'm curious about what a female ghost's pussy tastes like. If I can touch it, that means I can fuck it too... I've never had sex with a female ghost before. If it's okay, could you summon one..."
"You mad bastard! Get lost! Don't come back until you've completed the request!"
Peshika swung her hand at me. A chilling wind blew, hurling my body out of the building. Once outside, I smacked my lips.
"Should've at least sampled some ghost pussy..."
I decided to think about ghost pussy later and gripped the spell scroll. I stored the return scroll in my inventory and tore the Zone 57 scroll.
Light burst from the torn scroll, enveloping me.
Instantly, I was in a different space.
The air felt heavier.
I looked around.
It was an alley between buildings, and the structures were massive. If Zone 2 had a medieval vibe, this place felt like the modern era.
'Each zone has its own atmosphere—that's Atlantis's charm.'
I stepped out of the alley. Bricks paved the ground, streetlamps lined the streets, and wheeled automobiles rolled down the roads. The townsfolk's attire resembled early modern fashion.
'Zone 57... A place not mentioned in the setting docs or original work.'
Illuminated City of Etin. The name alone suggested a city of lights, maybe fluorescent lamps or something.
I walked up to a man in a suit.
"This lord asks a question. Answer if you value your life."
"...Clown?"
The man in the bowler hat frowned at me.
"What makes a clown so cocky? Just go on your way."
"You wish to die, then."
I grabbed his collar. He panicked and tried to pry my hand off, but his strength was child's play compared to mine.
"Aaaagh! L-Let go right now! Someone help! This lunatic's assaulting me! Police! Call the police!"
As he screamed, passersby started hurling abuse at me.
"Hey! Clown! What the hell?!"
"Put that gentleman down and back off, or we'll call the cops!"
"Oh my. Oh my. Why would a clown act like that? Oh my."
The crowd grew noisy, people gathering.
This city had police, and if they really showed up, I'd be in a bind.
I channeled my Heavenly Demon Aura.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art (天魔神功).
Heavenly Demon Force (天魔 Force).
"Aaaahhh!"
The people, sensing the charisma of the Heavenly Demon who commands ten thousand devils, fled in terror.
The man in my grip trembled, avoiding my eyes. I dragged him into the alley and hurled him at the wall.
"Guh!"
He groaned softly upon impact and began gauging my mood.
"This lord spoke politely, saying he had a question. Why didn't you answer?"
"S-Sorry! P-Please spare me...!"
"You need punishment."
Pow! Pow! Pow!
I started punching him. Not to kill—just enough to instill instant obedience.
After a short beating, he knelt politely on the ground, eyes downcast.
"A-Ask anything!"
"As a Zone 57 resident, this should be easy. First, where's Hopkins' mansion?"
I began questioning him about Zone 57.
I knew little about it—only that it was a city somewhat distant from Zone 2's Today City. That was it.
He answered faithfully.
Soon, I had a satisfactory grasp of the zone.
'Zone 57 has no ruler yet.'
No overlord had emerged. Despite that, residents could move to other zones, and outsiders could settle here.
Not common, but not special.
'To become Zone 57's ruler: possess a Black Heart. But what's a Black Heart?'
Black Heart. Not in the settings. Not even confirmed as an item.
He didn't know either. Probably not lying.
'If Black Hearts were common knowledge, this zone wouldn't still be unconquered.'
I brushed off the Black Heart. Nothing I could do now.
"Who's ruling this city now?"
"...Hopkins."
"And the police?"
"The police are Hopkins' lapdogs. They prioritize his word over ours. And anything involving him, they don't investigate properly..."
He vented his rage. Clearly mistreated by cops before.
'Hopkins must be loaded. Perfect. Time to rob him clean.'
Then.
Siren wails pierced the air, approaching fast. A car screeched to a halt at the alley's mouth.
The kneeling man's face lit up.
"Here! Officers! Over here! Help!"
Hard to believe this was the guy badmouthing cops moments ago.
Two officers stepped out in uniforms like modern police attire. They drew revolvers from their holsters and entered the alley.
"We got a report."
"Some clown with weird powers... Where is he?"
"Uh... He was just here... I swear! He was!"
"Was this a prank call?"
"N-No! I'd never!"
"Someone else reported it. And that guy's beat up. The clown's got special powers, huh. Damn, these freaks are killing us lately... Another weirdo..."
I was right beside them.
Using Deception (SS), I'd hidden my presence.
'Got all the info I need.'
I slipped past quietly. Glanced at their police car on the road. Horse-drawn carriage look-alike.
'Magic circle.'
Spotted the magic array on the back. Not pure tech.
I passed the car and began sightseeing.
Planning to infiltrate Hopkins' mansion at dusk.
'Theft's best done at night.'
???
In the central plaza, I looked up at the massive clock tower.
'Just like Big Ben in London.'
The UK's clock tower was famous—even I knew it. As iconic as Korean kimchi.
'Maybe more.'
Seeing it stirred emotions, especially since I'd never been abroad. The Japanese AV world didn't count—it was fictional.
'Boring after ten seconds.'
I turned away.
A kid stared at me with sparkling eyes.
"Got business with this lord?"
"Uncle! Uncle! Dance for me! I saw you dance at the palace last time!"
"Hah..."
I inhaled deeply and bellowed at the kid.
"Scram, brat! This lord isn't idle enough to play with you!"
The kid fell on her butt, teary-eyed, then burst into tears and fled.
"Waaahhh! Mommy!"
She ran to a woman in a dress. The brown-haired lady, hair pinned up, panicked and soothed her. Once calmed, she stormed up to me venomously.
"You! You clown! Yelling at and scaring my child?! What circus are you from?!"
"This lord is Heavenly Demon."
"What circus, I said! Do you know who I am? My husband's the Eastern Police Chief!"
"Auntie!"
I stepped forward; she flinched back.
"Wh-What?! Got something to say?! If you don't wanna rot in prison, kneel and beg!"
"Auntie. If you glare and snap at this lord like that..."
I strode right up to her. She tensed but glared.
"Snap at you how?! What're you gonna do?!"
"It gets me excited."
I hugged her tight. Rubbed my half-hard cock on her belly, groped her perky tits with my right hand, and slipped my left under her long skirt to fondle her plump ass through her panties.
"Kyaaahhh!"
She struggled desperately, but I didn't budge.
"Auntie, pretty face, great body. Nice voice too, and your hubby's police chief? Jackpot. Fuck, turning me on max. Let's make you pregnant with number two!"
As I went to rip her clothes off, two police cars arrived from afar, six officers charging me.
"Freeze! Clown!"
"Hands off the lady!"
"You pervert clown! Flower shop, bridge, and now the plaza?!"
"Wait! That's... the Chief's wife!"
"You insane clown bastard!"
Mood killed.
I clicked my tongue, released her, and bolted.
Bang! Bang-bang-bang! Bang!
Revolvers fired.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art (天魔神功)
Heavenly Demon Step (天魔 Step)
I dodged every bullet with flashy moves and fled into an alley. Once out of sight, I used Deception (SS) to turn invisible.
I was disappointed too.
'Could kill and rape them all... but that'd ruin the fun. My goal's theft, so play nice till then.'
Now labeled "sex offender clown," with cops chasing—still playing nice.
'Hopkins, the city's richest. His wife must be a beauty. Looking forward to it.'
I exited the alley. Cops swarmed, searching.
"Damn! Gone again!"
"Shit! Teleportation?!"
"Why use good powers for groping?!"
Leaving the frustrated cops, I headed for Hopkins' mansion.
"Gods above. Permit this sexy thief."
Why's this guy suddenly using polite woman's voice?
'Fuck. Almost got turned on.'
???
"Kyaaaaah!"
En route to Hopkins' mansion, a woman's scream startled me.
Man's scream? Ignore. Woman's? Different story. I dashed toward the alley.
A man in a bowler hat and black coat stabbed relentlessly at a fallen woman. Knife carving her abdomen nonstop. Blood and guts spilled out.
I checked her face. A beauty.
"You bastard! What the hell?!"
He stopped and looked at me. Under the hat, a young man with a mustache.
"Kuh. Heh heh heh!"
Laughing at me, he turned and fled.
"Dare run from me?"
I pulled my pistol, Desert Eagle, from inventory.
"Heavenly Demon Shot!"
Bang! Bang-bang-bang! Bang!
Gunfire echoed. He dodged nimbly but not all. Bullets pierced his back and skull. He collapsed, motionless.
"Where do you think you're going."
Having delivered justice, I resumed my path.
If not for six cops surrounding me, guns trained.
"You psycho clown! Murder now?!"
"Caught red-handed! Kill him!"
The police pulled their triggers.
