Subaru stared at the flood of notifications, trying to process everything at once. His Sin System was evolving rapidly, integrating new abilities, amplifying his power, and even altering the way the Witches' souls interacted with the world.
"This is insane," he muttered, flexing his fingers as he felt the weight of Gluttonous Consumption settle into him fully. The hunger, the need to consume, was barely noticeable, yet present—an underlying current of power waiting to be wielded.
[Echidna, rubbing her forehead where she hit the wall, scoffed. "Well, this certainly changes things. We're no longer just phantoms trapped in your mind."]
[Sekhmet yawned. "Mmm, I can already tell. We can interact with the physical world if we focus. This could be fun~"]
[Minerva crossed her arms. "Or dangerous. If we can influence the world more freely, then that means others might be able to interfere with us too."]
Subaru clenched his fist, feeling the Slothful Destruction aura pulse faintly around him before he suppressed it. The White Whale Aura had fused entirely with his soul, making its effects instinctual rather than manual. If he willed it, he could disappear completely, erase his presence from history itself.
"I need to test all of this, but first… we have to figure out why the Witches can interact with reality."****"
[Typhon grinned. "Maybe it means we're becoming real again~?"]
[Daphne giggled. "Or maybe… the world is shifting in a way that benefits us~"]
Subaru exhaled. Whatever was happening, he knew one thing for sure—he was no longer the same person he had been. The Witch Cult had no idea what was coming for them.

Subaru checked out his Mission Menu as he spoke. "Wait"
[Main Quest Update: Witch Cult Purge Objective: Eliminate all Witch Cult members and reclaim stolen Witch Factors. Bonus: Discover the origins of the Witch Cult and how they obtained the Witch Factors. Bonus: Kill all the witch Cult Archbishop of sin, Ps: If you can convince them to leave then it counts: 1.5/8 Bonus: Collect All the witch's full authority and add them to your ability: 2.5/8 Rewards: ???]
"1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5?.... Don't tell me theye are more then one Archbishop of Gluttony". Subaru spoke in annoyance.
[Echidna smirked. "Oh, Subaru, did you really think the Witch Cult would be that simple? Gluttony is… complicated."]
[Sekhmet yawned. "Mmm, think about it. Greed only has one, but Sloth had multiple. Why wouldn't Gluttony be the same?"]
Subaru groaned, rubbing his temples. "So you're telling me I have multiple Archbishops of Gluttony running around, each with a piece of the Authority?"
[Carmilla spoke shyly. "M-more than a piece… Th-the Authority of Gluttony is unstable. It c-can be divided, split… and even mutated, b-based on the user…."]
Subaru clenched his fists. If the system registered only 1.5 out of 8, that meant either there were three Gluttonies or the other half of Lye's power was still active somewhere.
"Great. Just great." He sighed. "Guess I'll have to track them down one by one."
[Typhon grinned. "Ooor~ you could let them come to you. After all, you've already messed with their power. They'll notice soon enough~"]
Subaru narrowed his eyes. If that was true, then the remaining Archbishops of Gluttony would come looking for him. And when they did, he'd be ready.
[Minerva then spoke. "So about, how are Interacting with the world more now?"]
[Pandora spoke with a smirk as she went and sat on Subaru's lap. "Isn't Simple, we live in his soul, to start, and every times he defeated an Archbishop, he absorbed there Authority, which means we get more of powers back, which means we get a larger hold on the world"]
Subaru raised an eyebrow. "Wait… so every time I take an Authority, you guys get stronger too?"
[Echidna adjusted her glasses, smirking. "It's only natural. The Witch Factors resonate with our existence, and since you're synchronizing with them, we're regaining our connection to the world."]
[Minerva huffed, crossing her arms. "Tch. So basically, you're saying that the more this idiot fights the Witch Cult, the closer we get to being able to interact with the world fully?"]
[Pandora leaned against Subaru, her smirk never fading. "Indeed. It's quite fascinating, don't you think?"]
Subaru sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Great. So not only do I have to deal with the Witch Cult, but I also have to make sure you all don't start causing chaos if you get too much influence."
[Sekhmet yawned. "Mmm, don't worry. We won't take over your body or anything… Probably."]
Subaru shivered. "Not reassuring!"
[Echidna chuckled as she spoke. "Don't worry, we won't ever take over your body, that will mean we won't be able to have all the "Fun" with you, why yes I do mean it in that way"]
Subaru brain had a stopper working with his words as he spoke. "For Ancient immortal witches of Sin, all of you are Horny, will not counting Carmilla, Minerva and Typhon". As he saw Minerva was looking away. "Never mind only Carmilla and Typhon".
[Typhon giggled as she kicked her legs. "Echidna is just being Echidna! But it's true, we'd rather have fun with you than just take over! That'd be boring."]
[Carmilla blushed and fidgeted. "I-I just… w-want to be c-close to you… b-but n-not in that way… m-maybe…"]
Subaru sighed, rubbing his temples. "Yeah, yeah. I get it. Witches are just naturally weird."
[Minerva huffed, crossing her arms. "Hmph! It's not like I—!" She paused, then looked away, cheeks slightly red. "Ugh, whatever."]
[Echidna smirked. "Oh, Subaru, you wound me! To think you'd lump me in with these simpletons when my interest in you is purely… intellectual."]
[Pandora, still sitting comfortably in Subaru's lap, grinned. "Oh, we're all plenty interested in you, darling. And now that we can interact more… who knows what might happen?"]
Subaru groaned. "Yeah, this is gonna be a problem."
Subaru just spoke with a sigh. "My lovers are Weird".
[Satella smiles as she looks at him, as he sits next to him. "And yet, it is you who chose to love us back, truly who's fault is it?"]
Subaru rolled his eyes as he spoke. "Mine in the end".
[Echidna kissed on the cheek as she spoke. "Good boy"]
Subaru just rolled his eyes as he spoke. "So Daphne Witch Factor is Split, into who knows how many people"
[Pandora then spoke. "Let's Say 3"]
Subaru groaned. "Three? Seriously? So I have to hunt down two more different Gluttony Archbishops just to fully reclaim that Authority?"
[Echidna smirked. "Well, if it were easy, it wouldn't be worth doing, would it?"]
[Pandora leaned against him, her voice playful. "Oh, but it does make things interesting, doesn't it? Three foes, each holding a piece of what you seek… I wonder how you'll deal with them?"]
[Minerva crossed her arms. "I'd say just punch them all and be done with it."]
[Carmilla hesitantly spoke. "B-but… i-if you d-don't… have t-to k-kill them… m-maybe they c-could… ch-change?"]
[Subaru sighed. "Yeah, yeah. If I can convince them, I will. But knowing these guys, that's gonna be a long shot."]
[Satella gently held his hand, her voice warm. "No matter what you choose, I will always support you."]
Subaru sighed again, rubbing his forehead. "Man, I'm surrounded by witches, a crazy cult, and now I have to track down two different cannibals. My life is a mess."
[Echidna giggled. "And yet, you wouldn't have it any other way, would you?"]
Subaru groaned. "I plead the fifth."
Subaru then sighed as he spoke. "Going to sleep now, see you in the Hanging Gardens".
Subaru went to sleep, and he woke up in the hanging Garden, and then he saw the White Whale. "Again?".
Pandora chuckled as she spoke. "We thought the Black Smoke was expected; it looks like all the Great Mabeast created by Daphne that you will come here".
Able looked at him as he spoke with his white hair flowing in the wing, as he spoke in a child-like way only a kid like him could say. "Am I getting a sibling papa?".
Daphne then spoke. "Oh, another kid, let's get started, Su-".
Then she pushed away in a hipper way, as she or was Camila, as she grabbed Subaru's arm and dragged the white whale. "No, My Turn, you g-got the last t-time with Able".
Then she puts both her and Subaru's hands in the white whale, as then a pink glow comes over it as it starts to change, as there now was a 5-year-old Girl similar to Able, with Pink hair like Carmilla and Black eyes like Subaru, she was wearing a small kid fusion of there outfits, as she looked at them, as she also had Fish Gills on her neck, two small horn's
The Girls then spoke. "Mama, Papa".
Subaru blinked. "What... just happened?"
Carmilla clung to his arm, smiling shyly. "S-she's... our daughter...?"
Able giggled, clapping his hands. "Yay! I have a little sister now! What's her name, Papa?"
Daphne pouted from the side. "Tch, I wanted to do it this time… but I guess it worked out fine."
The little girl blinked up at Subaru and Carmilla, her black eyes shining with innocence as she called out again. "Mama, Papa!"
Subaru let out a long sigh, rubbing his temples. "So first, Able. Now this. This dream world keeps making me a father out of nowhere..."
Pandora smirked. "Oh, but isn't it wonderful? A growing family... and each of them tied to the monstrous legacies you continue to reshape."
Satella smiled as she knelt down beside the girl. "She's beautiful… and her existence means another of Daphne's creations has been freed from its fate."
Able puffed his chest out. "That means I'm the big brother! I'll protect you, little sis!"
The girl giggled, clapping her hands. "Big bro!"
Subaru sighed again, looking at Carmilla, who was red-faced and staring at the ground. "Carmilla, you okay?"
Carmilla squeaked and nodded. "S-she c-called me, mama... I-I n-never th-thought..."
Subaru chuckled, patting her head. "Well, looks like you're stuck with the title now."
The little girl reached up, tugging at Subaru's sleeve. "Papa, name?"
Subaru looked at her, then at Carmilla. "I think you should pick."
Carmilla turned even redder but whispered shyly. "H-how about... Lilith?"
The little girl beamed. "Lilith! Lilith!"
Able grinned. "Lilith it is! Welcome to the family, little sis!"
Subaru sighed again, looking at his ever-growing dream-world family. "This is getting out of hand..."
Echidna smirked. "Oh, but I think it's just getting interesting."
Subaru felt a headache coming. "Oh no, we are not doing this again!"
Able tilted his head. "But Papa, if we beat the Great Rabbit, doesn't that mean we save all the little rabbits?"
Lilith, still holding onto Subaru's sleeve, nodded excitedly. "More siblings?"
Minerva smirked, cracking her knuckles. "I'll take responsibility for this one. I am the Witch of Wrath, so making sure they're strong and healthy would be my job."
Echidna adjusted her glasses, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "Think of the research potential! How would their traits manifest? Would they have a hive mind? Could we split them into separate individuals? So many questions to answer!"
Satella, on the other hand, simply smiled. "More family… That sounds wonderful."
Subaru groaned, rubbing his temples. "You're all insane. I mean, I already knew that, but you keep proving it over and over again."
Pandora chuckled. "Oh, Subaru, you should embrace it. After all, you seem to be the father of a new generation of Mabeast children. Why stop now?"
Subaru pointed at her. "No. No more spontaneous parenthood. We are not turning the Great Rabbit into an orphanage project!"
Minerva crossed her arms. "You say that now, but once you see their little faces looking up at you, calling you Papa—"
Echidna added with a smirk. "And once they start imprinting on you, you know you won't be able to abandon them."
Subaru glared. "I will find a way."
Able tugged at his sleeve. "But Papa, what if they're cute?"
Lilith nodded. "Cute bunnies!"
Subaru groaned in defeat. "Damn it…"
