Zhongli and the rest of the Seven had tolerated the sacrilege and heresy of Tevyat's so-called "kings" for too long, and now they paid the price. The temples being ransacked by royal forces were the source of more than a few discussions over drinks amongst the Seven, but very little was done about the issue. It was far from the first time the mortals they held domain over had kicked up petty disputes with the gods.
The mood at their divine feasts quickly turned when Baal, the Goddess of Eternity, was slain by the ruling king of Snezhnaya, Ajax. King Ajax had captured her and killed her at a public ceremony before the rest of the gods had even noticed, declaring to the world that Tevyat would be beholden to the will of the gods no longer. Shortly after, he publicly announced that he would be allying with the two kings of the neighboring domains of Mondstadt and Khaenri'ah- King Diluc and King Kaeya respectively.
Zhongli had been just as furious as the rest of his kin, but kept his response measured. He sent out divine emissaries to learn more about these so-called "kings" and their potential weaknesses. To his shock, his emissaries were cut down before they came anywhere near the walls of any city. Zhongli's next attempts had been far more subtle- finding his emissaries lacked any knowledge of how to blend in with human civilization, Zhongli returned to his old ways as a young god and began to walk amongst mortals again.
What he learned from these journeys was... troubling. The three kings were both loved and feared, known for their supreme martial prowess and their uncanny control over their respective Visions. It was absurd that mortals would even think to use divine gifts against the very deities who bestowed them. Of even more concern was the fact that nearly every mortal Zhongli spoke with told him that the time of the gods was over. Not years before, they had all bowed at his feet and catered to his every whim. What had changed...?
The true shock came when Zhongli's oldest friend, Barbatos, was captured by the king of Mondstadt while out on a drinking bend in the kingdom's capitol city. Barbatos had always expressed less concern than the other gods over the supposed mortal rebellion- he claimed he had seen far worse in his time. He saw no reason to let political disputes interrupt his drinking habits. Zhongli received conflicting reports on how precisely Barbatos was captured, but a missive came out from the king soon afterwards that Barbatos would be executed during the celebration of King Diluc's birthday.
All three kings would be there. It was an opportunity Zhongli couldn't possibly pass up- he could save his friend and take down those accursed kings in one swoop. He worried for some time over how to approach the situation. Given that he still had no information on how the gods before him had been taken down, a direct approach, while potentially satisfying, would have a considerable chance of failing miserably. Sending in emissaries was out of the question- they would fail to blend in, and their appearance could provoke the kings into executing their captive ahead of schedule. The other gods were beginning to go into hiding, too scared to even consider helping. Every viable plan Zhongli could come up with ended in the same place: he would have to make an incognito appearance in order to succeed.
Having heard stories of the many consorts and concubines that two of the kings- Ajax and Kaeya- took gave Zhongli some indication of how he could get close enough to the kings to take them out. He would use his divine beauty and charm to seduce one of those two, then either turn his wiles on the other or take advantage of the chaos caused by the disappearance of one of the kings. By most accounts, King Diluc boasted more economic power than physical, so he would pose less challenge than the other two.
This plan brought Zhongli to where he was now. He secured an invitation without much trouble by demanding that a crooked priest either give it up or risk the divine wrath of Rex Lapis. After the invitation was in his hands, he speared the priest through the heart anyway to ensure he couldn't give away Zhongli's plan ahead of schedule. Knowing that most of the statues and artwork depicting him were either overly artistic or failed to show his specific features, Zhongli felt assured that he could use his human form of choice. His favorite form had never failed to turn heads in the past, and he had heard that the kings preferred masculine features anyway. He spared no expenses on the clothing he donned for the occasion- all smooth, elegant silks and intricate patterns. His long, smooth hair was left loose to drape over his shoulders.
There is no way I will fail to catch their attention, Zhongli thought as he smirked into a floor-to-ceiling mirror on the palace grounds.
It took about ten long minutes for King Ajax to notice Zhongli sipping on dandelion wine on one of the raised platforms to either side of the royal ballroom. Zhongli had been gazing blankly out over the crowd of mortals, trying to look the part of the handsome soul craving company on a lonely night. Of course, the direction of his gaze gave him a clear view of the three kings perched in their thrones to the head of the ballroom. As soon as he'd seen Zhongli, King Ajax had fixed his slumped posture in his throne and looked the god up at down. After giving him a moment, Zhongli turned his head towards King Ajax and flushed, visibly flinching and averting his gaze. The smirk that treacherous king had given in his direction afterwards was assertion that Zhongli had hooked him.
Only a few minutes later, after some continued gazing in his direction, King Ajax had called over an attendant and pointed subtly in Zhongli's direction. Zhongli pretended not to notice as he picked bits of expensive pork off his plate. Finally, that same attendant snuck through the crowd and bowed in front of Zhongli.
"Sir, your presence is requested in the drawing room." Zhongli's victory was all but assured as glanced around, pretending he wasn't certain he was being spoken to.
"You are speaking to me, correct?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, who am I to deny such a request?" That cocky grin found its way back onto King Ajax's face before the monarch slipped away from his throne and into the back room.
Relishing in his undeniable success, Zhongli failed to notice that the other two thrones were already empty.
The attendant bowed to Zhongli and escorted him silently into the room King Ajax had disappeared to, nodding to the guards as they passed. As soon as they stepped into the back room, the attendant gave the monarch waiting inside a deeper bow and slipped back out into the ballroom. King Ajax must have been as cocky and thoughtless as Zhongli had expected- there were no guards in the room, and the king himself had only a ceremonial saber at his side. Zhongli had heard talk that he was perhaps the youngest person to hold a position of this status with such great success, but his age showed in his overabundance of confidence. It would be that trait that led to his downfall at Zhongli's hand.
King Ajax only stood there in silence staring at Zhongli once the attendant had left, searching his face for something Zhongli couldn't quite identify. Zhongli's instincts began to warn him that something seemed off. He had to correct the situation now.
Zhongli cleared his throat and lowered his head. "Y-you requested my presence, Your Majesty?" A man as demanding and dominating as King Ajax would likely appreciate a submissive, easily-flustered partner. Zhongli's stutter and the flush on his face were just as deliberate as his every other action. The prompt made the monarch stand up straighter and adjust the cape around his shoulders.
"Ah, yes. I would like to know your name, stranger." King Ajax looked the part of the refined monarch once more, all broad shoulders and firm posture. Despite his practiced appearances, his light and boyish voice betrayed his age.
"Of course, Your Majesty. My name is Zhongli." This name was one of the most recent he'd chosen to use, so there was little chance that the monarch would recognize it.
"That doesn't sound like any name I've heard from the people of Mondstadt. Where are you from?"
"I am from Liyue, Your Majesty." Something glinted in King Ajax's eyes. Was he fond of Liyuen men...?
"Well Zhongli... I don't know if you're aware, but you're a very handsome man. I would like you to spend the night with me. We can watch the execution together, and- Are you alright?" Zhongli had flinched at the word "execution," a failing of his normally-impenetrable composure that he was berating himself over now.
"A-ah, my apologies Your Majesty, I just... Executions are normally carried out in private in Liyue, so I must confess I have never... witnessed one before." That was a blatant lie- Zhongli had ordered and carried out untold numbers of executions in his time. But given that said executions were technically in private, perhaps it wasn't as bad of a lie as it could be? Either way, it seemed to assuage King Ajax's concerns.
"They're quite thrilling, Zhongli. If you feel faint, you're welcome to lean on me." The monarch laughed and winked at Zhongli, making fury and disgust turn in his stomach. How could he speak so carelessly about the murder of Zhongli's closest friend, and a god at that?
"If that's what you wish, Your Majesty." King Ajax grinned and strutted across the room, grabbing Zhongli by the shoulder and pushing him towards one of the other rooms. He opened the door ahead of Zhongli and gestured for him to go inside first. That was a bit odd.
As King Ajax closed the door behind them, Zhongli quickly realized that he'd made a mistake somewhere along the way. He'd wanted to corner one of the kings alone, but the other two were sitting around the room staring at him. "I must confess, I brought some friends," King Ajax's chuckle was a little darker now, and a shiver ran up Zhongli's spine. The looks from his fellow monarchs were... hungry, for lack of a better term.
"Erm, Your Majesty..." Zhongli's mind scrambled to rearrange his plans to make this work somehow. He was still a god- perhaps he could wait until they let their guards down, then kill all three at once? Given the fact that King Kaeya was already putting his extravagant jacket to the side and slipping his shirt off, it was clear what the three monarchs intended. Devoid of their weapons and Visions, they should be easy to kill, right? Maybe this was a blessing in disguise.
Zhongli stiffened as King Ajax's hands slipped around his waist, pulling Zhongli back into the young monarch's chest. "You're not going to try to back out now, are you?" King Ajax's tone was warning as he began to feel over the silks covering Zhongli's chest. The clever hand tweaking his nipple made Zhongli bite back a moan.
"N-no, Your Majesty. Whatever you wish." Zhongli had hoped he wouldn't have to engage in intercourse with any of the kings, but it seemed he had no choice. Besides the horror inherent in fucking the would-be murderers of one's friends, Zhongli had no actual experience with anything related to sex. He knew one day, once things had settled, it would be his duty to give birth to a new generation of divine dragons. Given that no other Liyuen dragons were left, Barbatos would be his only option- just as soon as the little twerp stopped drinking himself under the table and took his divine duties more seriously. Mating with a human was potentially possible, but it was out of the question- their children would surely be weak and sub-par. But given that sex to reproduce was currently inviable, that left only sex for enjoyment. Such a thing is frivolous and intended for mortals and weaker gods, Zhongli had always thought.
As the king behind him rubbed at Zhongli's nipple, however, he was beginning to regret not at least acclimating himself to the sensations of sex before he jumped into this endeavor. The feeling sent sparks through his untouched, divine body, making him shiver. King Ajax undressed Zhongli slowly, pulling away at the expensive silks and letting them pool into a pile on the floor. All the while, the other two monarchs watched with keen eyes. Zhongli had been watched so, so many times before, but this felt... different. Rather than craving his power and favor, all they wanted was his body... and perhaps his submission.
When King Ajax's hand brushed around Zhongli's crotch, he paused.
...Ah. Zhongli had forgotten. Given that he could shape his body however he wished, he typically did so in a way that emphasized convenience over looks. Having a penis was inconvenient- it required his pants to be fitted in a certain way, and it had the poor habit of hardening at seemingly random occasions. While Zhongli often kept absolutely no external genitalia, for this particular evening he'd decided that a vagina would be an appropriate choice in the slim chance he did have to have intercourse with one of the monarchs. Of course, he'd forgotten that human males typically have penises and human females typically have vaginas.
"Hey Diluc, he's got a pussy like you!" King Ajax called, making King Diluc sputter and wheeze. That was... not the reaction Zhongli had expected.
"A-Ajax, what is wrong with you?" King Diluc got his breath back after a minute, but his face was still flushed cherry red.
"I suppose that isn't a bad thing. Less prep work for us," King Kaeya added with a shrug. King Ajax's fingers dipped down lower, brushing over Zhongli's clit before feeling at his labia. Zhongli jumped at the feeling of his clit being touched- why was it so sensitive? Why was everything so sensitive? A heat rose in his gut, starting to eat away at his higher consciousness.
It felt so, so incredibly good. King Ajax's fingers felt around Zhongli's cunt, but never left more than a fading impression on his aching clit. Why was this accursed monarch teasing him? Zhongli had never had to wait for anything he'd wanted before, so why would he have to wait now?
"Touch me more, worm," Zhongli snapped. How dare this mortal test his patience-
The hand on him stopped in its tracks. As the pleasure faded, Zhongli quickly realized what he'd done.
"Well, I was going to keep up the act a bit longer, Morax, but..." Zhongli's stomach dropped as King Ajax's hands grabbed onto his waist and held him in place. He'd been so incredibly cautious, how did that young, cocky ruler find him out-
"You know, Rex Lapis, I was afraid we would have trouble finding you. But now you've come to us- how kind of you!" King Kaeya smirked at Zhongli. Oh, how he wanted to wipe that look off his face. The ground rumbled as Zhongli gathered Geo energy from around him, ready to skewer all three monarchs with stone spears.
...Only for something cold and solid to wrap around his neck, and all the energy he'd built up to settle back into the ground. Zhongli's hands scrambled to touch the device now attached to his neck, but the monarch behind him grabbed his arms and wrestled them behind his back. He felt so weak- Was this how the gods before him had been felled? Besides the disconnect from the element he held domain over, it felt like a parasite was seeping away at his physical strength. Zhongli's knees began to buckle, and soon he was only held up by the young king he'd been about to kill.
"It even works on the oldest and most powerful of the Seven," King Diluc noted.
"I told you it was great. The finest of Snezhnayan engineering," Ajax smirked back.
"Well! Shall we get to it, then?" Kaeya clapped his hands together, then got to shucking off his pants. Diluc scoffed and started to remove his own clothing.
Ajax dragged Zhongli over to the bed and heaved him onto it, letting his limp form bounce on the mattress. Zhongli kicked himself internally over and over at his hubris, his lack of foresight, his inattentiveness. How had he not noticed that they already knew who he was? There had to be some way out of his current predicament, but what could it possibly be?
"If it counts for anything, I think you look much better like this than you do in any of your statues," Kaeya said as his cold hands ran over Zhongli's bared ass. "Hiding a body this pretty under such a thick cowl should be illegal. You know Diluc, I have an idea for a new law in Mondstadt-"
"No." Kaeya slapped Zhongli's backside in petty retaliation for Diluc's words, making the god let out a pathetic squeak.
"Ah, that was a lovely sound." Kaeya gave Zhongli's ass another slap, then another, then another. Zhongli buried his face in the bed, trying to muffle his grunts and gasps. "Ah-ah." A gloved hand grabbed Zhongli's hair and forced his head back. All of it hurt, Zhongli's divinity no longer muffling the sensations inflicted on him. Keeping his composure intact was nigh-impossible with every touch amplified so heavily. His ass stung and the feeling of his cheeks wobbling with every impact made his face flush red. Undignified, he thought.
Ajax took the opportunity afforded by Zhongli's raised head to slip onto the bed in front of him, his cock now out in the open and leaking precum furiously. It certainly wasn't the size of a dragon cock, but it was larger than the cock Zhongli typically gave himself in his human form. And now Ajax was trying to push Zhongli's head towards his dick- what did he want? Zhongli looked up at the monarch, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Zhongli's mouth opened to gasp at a particularly harsh slap against his sore asscheek, and Ajax pushed down on his head, forcing his mouth onto Ajax's cock. Zhongli immediately squirmed and tried to pull backwards only for Ajax to hold his head down.
"Watch your teeth. Bite me and I'll send the order for your fellow god to be killed now." Zhongli forced himself to focus at the reminder of why he was here. He unclenched his jaw, letting his mouth fall slack. "Good little god." Ajax flicked Zhongli's forehead before pushing his head down farther. The king's loud moan was barely audible to Zhongli over the overwhelming sensation of suffocation, something he'd never had to feel before. His throat and lungs ached as that cock pushed into his throat. Humans have to breathe, don't they? He couldn't breathe. He couldn't breathe-
Ajax grabbed Zhongli by the hair as he started to choke and pulled him off his cock. Zhongli sputtered and wheezed onto the bed, something beginning to prickle in his eyes. It felt like his chest was on fire. Before he even got the chance to fully catch his breath, Ajax pushed his head back down. He screamed around the solid flesh in his mouth, which only made more of his breath slip away. Something wet slipped down his cheeks as black creeped into the corners of his vision. Was he... crying? Zhongli's head swam as he was faced with the potential for death for the first time in his life. He would die here, suffocated to death on a mortal's cock. He could feel it battering against the back of his throat. There were moans coming from somewhere above him, but everything sounded like it was underwater.
Once more, Zhongli was pulled off the monarch's dick to gasp pathetically for air. He'd never realized how good it felt to breathe before. His lungs and throat burned and ached, and he could still feel the spot at the back of his throat that the cock had rubbed persistently against. Ajax was laughing at him now.
"Aww, never taken a cock before Morax? Don't worry, we can fix that." Oh, how he hated that mortal's voice. Those cold hands from before lifted up his hips before putting a pillow beneath them. Then his legs were spread, and-
Zhongli choked again as a finger dipped into his divine, virgin cunt.
"N-no!" Zhongli wheezed, trying to force his horrifically heavy body to move away from the unfamiliar touch. In response, Kaeya slipped a second finger into him. Those fingers shouldn't be moving so easily in him, right? It hurt only a bit- it was more foreign than anything else. But the feeling of being penetrated in such a sacred place against his will made his stomach sink. Zhongli could do nothing but lay there as tears slipped down his face and Ajax stroked his fingers through Zhongli's hair.
"You're wet, little god. Were you enjoying the taste of Ajax's cock?" Zhongli gasped. "Or was it my touches on your fat ass? Tell me, god-boy." Zhongli wouldn't respond. He shouldn't dignify such a question with his holy words. He was a god; he shouldn't be treated like this-
Ajax grabbed Zhongli's mouth and forced it open, lining it up with his cock again. "Tell the nice man, or you can choke on my cock again."
"No, no, no-" Zhongli squeezed his eyes shut and sobbed. How was he so weak? Was this what mortals felt like all the time?
"Tick-tock. Better tell 'em quick, Morax." Ajax let his cock rest on Zhongli's tongue.
"Th- thouch." It was hard to speak around Ajax's finger and cockhead, but Zhongli tried his best.
"You like having your ass touched, huh?" Kaeya laughed. Another spank on Zhongli's already-red asscheek made him clench down around Kaeya's fingers. "Maybe I'll play with it more when my cock is in you." A third finger slipped inside Zhongli's loosening cunt. "...Hey Diluc, it's your birthday. Why aren't you participating in the festivities?"
A scoff from somewhere off to the side. "Ajax is in my spot," Diluc said.
"Oh, my apologies Your Majesty." Mercifully, Ajax slipped off the bed and gestured for Diluc to take his place in front of Zhongli. Moments later, Zhongli's eyes met a thatch of crimson pubic hair and... a vagina...?
"I thought you-" Zhongli started, only to have his face pushed into Diluc's cunt. The wetness there smeared onto Zhongli's lips and chin. Zhongli couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise and got a mouthful of sweet slick.
"I'm no less a man than anyone else here, Rex Lapis." Clearly, Zhongli had to re-evaluate his sources on sexuality among humans.
Diluc rubbed his pussy slowly against Zhongli's face as Kaeya thrusted his fingers into Zhongli's own vagina. At least Diluc let him breathe more often, loosening the vice grip of his legs around Zhongli and pulling his head back by his hair to look over the slick coating the god's face.
"Why don't you sit on his face, 'Luc?" Kaeya asked. He pulled his fingers out of Zhongli, leaving him painfully empty. Diluc hummed thoughtfully and dragged Zhongli's head up to study his face.
"Do you not want to hear his moans when you penetrate him?"
"Of course I do. It's just your birthday, 'Luc, so I thought you should be the one to decide." Something much bigger than fingers pressed against Zhongli's virgin hole. Was that a-
Kaeya's cock pushed into Zhongli's cunt, and the god screamed. To Zhongli's horror, he didn't feel pain at the penetration. Instead, pleasure began to shoot through his body. His entire body jolted and shook. Every wonderous luxury he'd ever enjoyed barely held a candle to this overwhelming sensation. It was like his body had craved this for thousands of years, craved a cock in him, craved being bred-
Bred?
Zhongli's world came crashing down as he realized that the king committing sacrilege against his insides could impregnate him. His weak, mortal sperm could slip into Zhongli's fertile womb, and from their coupling could come the eggs of human-dragon hybrid children far inferior to himself. The thought made Zhongli both want to vomit and crave being filled to the brim with the human's semen. His bloodline could continue, he could finally be mated to a strong partner who could hold him down and make him submit.
"Fill me, mate," Zhongli hissed, "Give me a clutch!"
The thrusts inside him halted.
"...What was that?" Kaeya asked. He sounded genuinely... confused? Why would he...
Oh. Zhongli had spoken in the harsh, ancient tongue of dragons, hadn't he?
"That sounded like a draconic language," Diluc said, brushing his thumb against Zhongli's cheek and staring down at the tear tracks on the god's reddened face.
"Interesting. Tell me, Rex Lapis, what exactly it was that you were trying to say?" A single harsh thrust left Zhongli with a low moan. What had he said again...?
The second he realized, Zhongli sobbed and tried to bury his head in the bed only to be held back by Diluc's hand in his hair. How could he have even thought that? That this treacherous mortal could be anywhere akin to his mate? The king was a mortal, and therefore would always be below the gods.
But this mortal made you submit, something dark in Zhongli's mind whispered. Surely that counts for something?
"We're waiting, Morax," Ajax growled from somewhere off to the side. Fear pierced Zhongli's chest. He wasn't going to choke Zhongli on his cock again, was he?
"I... I said I wanted... you to... to let me go." Zhongli tried to pull at his divine power again only to be met with absolutely nothing in response.
"I don't think that's what you said," Kaeya said, slapping Zhongli's ass again. "Try again, but tell the truth this time." Zhongli yelped, then looked down in shame.
"I said I... wanted you to br..." Zhongli choked around the words. "I want you to... to..." Another slap. "I want you to breed me!"
Both Kaeya and Ajax laughed hysterically, and Diluc snorted. At him. The God of War and Contracts, made into a bitch and a laughingstock for petulant mortals. He'd never once felt so powerless. If the other gods could see him now, they'd most likely laugh at him too. Zhongli was supposed to be the oldest, wisest, and strongest of the Seven, but here he was allowing himself to be fucked and bred by the same mortals who had killed his kind before.
"Hey- Hey Ajax! I have an idea for you. How about you fuck his cunt with me, and then we have twice the chance of knocking him up?" Zhongli thrashed against the hold on him, trying his hardest to hide his face. He knew it was a pathetic, reddened mess of tears, snot, sweat, Ajax's precum, and Diluc's slick. I'm disgusting, he thought, tainted. The pillow beneath Zhongli's hips was pulled away, and Ajax crawled in below him before lining his cock up with Zhongli's already-full cunt.
"No, please-" Zhongli tried to beg, but it was too late. Ajax's dick began to sink inside of him, and to Zhongli's horror his walls expanded to let him in. The breeding instinct he'd long denied came back to him all at once and hit him with a cloying heat that demanded satisfaction. Two cocks inside him at once felt like a draconic cock. His instincts registered the feeling of being fucked by another dragon and sent his reproductive system into overdrive.
"Please, please," Zhongli whimpered.
"Please what?" Diluc growled at him.
"Please fill me up, I want a clutch!" Diluc rolled his eyes and forced Zhongli's face back into his neglected cunt. Overcome with the desire to please his mate- well, his mates-, Zhongli drilled his tongue into Diluc's sopping hole and lapped up as much slick as he could manage. It wasn't long before he heard quiet gasps and moans above him, which only spurred him on harder.
"Fuck, I'm gonna come-" Kaeya grunted. His thrusts stuttered and fell out of time, grinding himself deep inside of Zhongli rather than actually thrusting like Ajax was. Finally, finally, that wonderful warmth spread within Zhongli. Zhongli felt himself tip over some unseen edge, and he was overcome with pleasure beyond anything he'd ever dreamed of before. His entire body seized up and his eyes rolled back in his head. There was no way anything that felt this good wasn't divine- Were his powers returning to him?
Zhongli tried to pull at his godly power again, only to be met with the same nothingness as before. The feeling inflicted upon him was from the actions of mortals, but it was better than any divinity he had ever felt before. He clung to the feeling, hoping to savor the closest to holiness he had now, only for it to slip away into slight tremors and tiredness as more warmth bloomed inside his body and spattered onto his face.
"Can we keep him?" Zhongli just barely heard Ajax's words as exhaustion began to pull his consciousness down into the depths.
"Yes... Yes we can," Diluc said.
A twisted happiness filled Zhongli's chest as he slipped into the blissful embrace of sleep.
Many years later, the gods are known to Tevyat no more. The only relic of their existence is a pretty toy passed between the three rulers of a unified kingdom with a nametag on the collar around his neck that reads "Morax." With the aid of half-dragon, half-human soldiers, every last god has fallen and every rival kingdom has crumbled to dust. The mother of said soldiers spends most of his time sitting on his masters' cocks or kneeling on the floor between their legs while they hold audiences with aristocrats. Everyone knows that the former god Rex Lapis, the strongest of the Seven, submitted when faced with the might of the nation's three rulers.
Now, all that remains of the once-great and beloved gods is the prettiest cockwarmer known to Tevyat.
