“Well, there goes Lhasa, right?” I grimaced as I drove deeper inside a very excited Blake Lively, my cock making the actress gasp and moan with delight.

“Damn, yep, there it is!” Ryan Reynolds agreed while plowing a rather amorous Jessica Alba right then.

By now, the incubus Ryan didn’t give a crap that his wife, Blake, was still underneath me, taking my dick inside her dripping wet gash. She was a succubus, of course, and by now, he was used to focusing on his own strange instead of any lingering jealousies from his human marriage to her. We all had fun with it, sharing, swapping, swinging, etc. I lost track of how many times I had fucked other men’s wives and they had fucked mine as well.

We had bigger issues to worry us, anyway. The Holy Ghost’s forces had just taken Lhasa in Tibet and were already busy slaughtering monks of the Lamaist branch of Buddhism. They were also engaged in reunifying all of the territory of the former People’s Republic of China, just as I expected. Manchuria had already fallen to them, with disastrous consequences in any real humanitarian sense.

The so-called “New Celestial Army” now controlled all of Han China, all of Manchuria, all of Inner Mongolia, and huge chunks of both Sinkiang and Tibet. The inevitable abolition of even the pretense of the rule of law, elimination of courts of law as well as lawyers and jurists, and summary executions of people who violated the repressive, puritanical kind of moral laws all naturally followed the same pattern as elsewhere after a Celestial victory. The only thing that was certain whenever and wherever these zealots prevailed was death ... in abundance.

“And in other news, refugee camps have doubled in size in Vietnam, Russia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Mongolia, Taiwan, and the various Central Asian republics, such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Only North Korea has refused to take any such refugees inside its territory, for the very obvious reason that it cannot even feed its own people, let alone some foreign nationals. That some would even approach Pyongyang about this shows the sheer level of desperation to escape the Celestial forces.

“The siege of Hong Kong and Macao continues as well, with some relief and aid continuing to be brought by the Japanese, Taiwanese, South Korean, and Philippine governments, among others. The last Han holdouts, they were never part of the official, regular Chinese territory, despite their shared culture. Instead, they lived under a ‘one country, two systems’ model from the time of their annexation until the fall of the Chinese Communist Party regime.

“Confidential sources warn us, though, that the overthrow of both cities is only a matter of time. There are simply not enough supplies to continue to resupply two heavily besieged cities that are entirely surrounded and cut off from the neighboring countryside. The best hope is to buy time for refugees to safely escape the capture of both cities before it is too late to ensure that. Given the sheer brutality of the Celestial Mandate regime, there are plenty of people seeking asylum in the event of such a conquest,” Ana Cabrera continued to relate the news as if all people worldwide didn’t know that she was a succubus who regularly slept with me.

“Do we have an estimate of the death toll from the Celestial Mandate victory in mainland China so far? It must easily be in the millions,” I thought aloud as we watched Ana and Blake creamed herself on my cock again.

“At last count, something like forty-six to sixty-seven millions dead, and that’s a conservative estimate. That doesn’t even count the recent fall of the Guangxi and Ningxia autonomous regions, as well as Manchuria. There could easily be over a hundred million dead, just like that. Most of those souls are now in Limbo, of course, per your pact with Michael. Limbo’s a crowded place nowadays, and that’s likely to get even worse as the war continues. If things continue at this alarming rate, China’s population could soon be cut by a tenth ... literally decimated.

“Worse still, that’s just those who were executed or killed in action, not even counting the ones who have died for other reasons since these goons came to power. They’re like a Chinese version of the fucking Khmer Rouge in many ways. Bloodthirsty fanatics who have put the country under privation, rationing, and just generally a war economy with worsening rather than improved living standards. All of the many refugees have shrunk the population further, with the numbers of women and children in China dropping like flies. Their shortage of women has only gotten worse, causing a vast disparity between men and their prospective brides,” Lilith commented.

“And the government’s response to this crisis? It’s now mandatory for young men to perform at least one to two years of military service in order to qualify for a wife. At that point, a wife will be issued to the veteran as soon as she becomes available, and he’d better not complain ... and he’d better not cheat on her, as if he would have options to do that. If he complains, he is summarily executed by a firing squad. If he cheats, he is summarily executed by a firing squad.

“If a wife cheats, her lover is immediately executed and she is then beaten and raped in public. This creates a disincentive to cheat that doesn’t leave her husband without her. Women are now so scarce that they literally have less serious consequences for adultery than men despite the highly patriarchal system that exists there. Men are so plentiful that they’re disposable, after all. Also, virgins are now reserved for those with stellar war records or good standing in the new society. To have a virgin bride is a mark of status, yes.

“As for virgin males, let’s just say that this is a joke. The soldiers rape so many women that it’s not even funny. The regime allows this for two reasons: to release sexual tension for the men and to punish slutty women. Normal fornication is still a crime, but in the extent of rape, it’s permissible. So, literally, in their perspective, consensual fornication is worse than actual rape. For whatever reason, the Celestial Mandate thinks that rape is a useful form of correction, and thus exempt from the normal requirement of celibacy or abstinence prior to marriage. Also, any masturbation or homosexual conduct is severely punished, the latter with death by firing squad, the former by caning or flogging,” Becky observed.
