Lilith's Ticklish Hell (*/F Hazbin Hotel Commission)

[Eucatastrophist]

Vox watched as hundreds of feeds played simultaneously, surveillance from every corner of Pentagram City, from the seediest sinners' hovels to the gilded halls of the Overlords themselves. One screen in particular held his attention above all others.

It was of Lilith. The First Woman. The Queen of Hell who had abandoned her throne years ago, leaving the power vacuum that Vox had spent decades learning to exploit.

And now she was coming back.

"Well, well, well," Vox muttered, his face breaking into a sharp grin. "Look who's decided to grace us with her presence again..."

Lilith's return complicated things. The careful web of influence he'd been weaving - the media empire, the technological infrastructure that made him indispensable, the alliances with Valentino and Velvette - all of it could be threatened if she decided to reclaim her position. The other Overlords might have short memories, might have grown comfortable with the current order, but Lilith had ruled Hell for millennia. Her name still carried weight that Vox's brand recognition couldn't match.

Unless he changed the narrative... Lilith was proud. Legendarily so. It was the trait that had gotten her cast out of Eden in the first place, that had allowed her to stand beside Lucifer as his equal rather than beneath Adam as his servant. That pride could be weaponized.

He could make an appeal to her ego, and by the time she realized her mistake, it would be far, far too late.

"Time to put on a show," he said to the empty room, his screened face cycling through pictures of anticipation. "The biggest show Hell has ever seen..."

Part One: The Arena

The coliseum rose from the heart of Pentagram City, with massive screens adorning every surface. Every seat was filled. In the private boxes that ringed the arena's upper levels, the Overlords themselves had gathered - some allies, some rivals, all eager to witness whatever Vox had promised them. And he had promised them something extraordinary.

The atmosphere was electric, charged with the particular cruelty that Hell cultivated in its residents. They didn't know exactly what they were about to witness. Vox had kept the details deliberately vague, promising only "a demonstration of dominance" and "entertainment befitting the lords of the damned." But rumors had spread, as they always did. Whispers that the Queen was returning. That Vox meant to challenge her directly.

His voice boomed through the arena's sound system, resonant and commanding: "Ladies and gentlemen, sinners of every stripe - welcome to the Event of the Millennium!"

The crowd roared. Thousands of voices raised in anticipation, the sound crashing against the arena walls like waves against a cliff.

"Tonight," Vox continued, his face appearing on every display surface simultaneously, "we settle a question that has plagued Hell for far too long. Who has the strength to rule? Who possesses the endurance, the willpower, the sheer fortitude to lead the damned into a new age?"

He paused for effect, letting the tension build.

"On one side, your humble servant. The voice of Hell's future. The architect of its technological renaissance." His image appeared on the screens, edgy and smug. "And on the other..."

The far doors of the arena swung open with theatrical grandeur, and through them walked Lilith.

Lilith's gown cascaded behind her in waves of silk, and her pale hair floated as if suspended in water, defying the physics that even Hell nominally acknowledged. Her horns curved upward from her brow like a natural crown, and her ancient eyes swept across the gathered crowd with a look of contempt.

The audience fell silent. Even the most debased sinners recognized royalty when it stood before them.

Lilith had received Vox's invitation and read it exactly as he'd intended - as a challenge to be answered, an upstart to be put in his place. The millennia had taught her patience, but they had also instilled a bone-deep certainty in her own superiority. She had faced down Adam's petulance, had walked beside the Morningstar through his fall, had ruled Hell when Vox was nothing but a human broadcasting radio signals into the void.

She did not fear him - and that would prove to be her undoing.

It was such an obvious trap that Lilith nearly laughed. Vox clearly intended some manner of treachery - the elaborate restraint apparatus on the stage made that evident. But Lilith had weathered torments that would break lesser beings. She had endured Adam's possessiveness, had survived the transformation from her Creator's vision into something entirely her own. Whatever Vox planned, she would overcome it and humiliate him in front of his own audience.

The moment her feet touched the obsidian surface of the stage, everything changed.

The platform hummed with sudden energy. Lilith felt it a fraction of a second before the restraints activated - a surge of power designed specifically to counteract demonic strength. Chains erupted from hidden panels, wrapping around her wrists before she could react. More seized her ankles, spreading her limbs apart with mechanical precision.

In seconds, she was immobilized. Spread-eagle in the center of the stage, her gown torn where the restraints had caught the fabric, her body stretched taut between the unforgiving metal frames.

The crowd erupted into shock and delight.

"What is this?" Lilith snarled, her composure cracking for the first time. She strained against the bonds, her considerable strength meeting resistance that should have been impossible. The chains didn't budge. "We had an agreement-"

"We had terms," Vox corrected, his voice flush with triumph. His image filled every screen, grinning down at her from a hundred angles. "And the terms were endurance. You agreed to endure whatever the contest required."

He spread his arms wide, addressing the crowd as much as her. "I never said it would be fair."

Lilith's eyes blazed with fury as the crowd erupted into laughter. Beneath the fury, she also felt the first stirrings of genuine fear. She was ancient and powerful, yes, but she was also bound. She could feel the restraints siphoning her strength, dampening her magic, reducing her to something horrifyingly close to helpless.

"You think this will break me?" she spat. "I have endured torments you cannot imagine, you pathetic simulacrum!"

"Oh, I'm counting on it," Vox interrupted cheerfully. "That's exactly why I've prepared something special."

He snapped his fingers with a theatrical flourish. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce tonight's supporting cast!"

Doors around the arena's perimeter swung open, and they began to pour in: imps. Dozens of them, then hundreds. They scurried toward the stage in a chittering wave, their small bodies bristling with excitement. Behind them came larger demons - misshapen creatures bred for service in Hell's darker corners. All of them focused on Lilith with expressions of gleeful malice.

"You see," Vox explained, his voice adopting the cadence of a lecturer, "I've studied your history quite extensively, my Queen. Your strengths, your weaknesses. And I discovered something fascinating in the old texts. Lilith, the First Woman, Mother of Demons... is extremely ticklish."

"No," Lilith gasped. The fury in her expression was giving way to something else - a vulnerability she hadn't shown in millennia. "You wouldn't dare!"

"I would," Vox said simply. "And I will. Until you break. Until you beg."

He raised his hand again, signaling his assembled tormentors.

"Begin."

The first touch was almost gentle, a single imp's clawed finger tracing along the arch of her foot. She clenched her jaw, refusing to react, but her body betrayed her instantly. A violent shudder ran through her frame, her toes curling involuntarily against the restraint that held her ankle.

Then more touches came, and gentleness was abandoned entirely.

Dozens of hands found her at once. The imps swarmed over the stage, their small fingers skittering across every exposed inch of her skin with manic energy. They found the hollows beneath her arms, the sensitive channels between her ribs, the impossibly tender stretch of skin at her sides. Larger demons claimed her feet, their many fingers working in coordinated assault - dancing across her soles, probing between her toes, dragging claws along her heels with an agonizingly light pressure.

Lilith's composure shattered in seconds.

The laugh that tore from her throat was nothing like her usual voice - not the measured, regal tones of the Queen of Hell, but a raw, helpless sound ripped from somewhere deep in her core. Her body convulsed against the restraints, every muscle straining to escape sensations that overwhelmed her nervous system.

"AHAHAHA - STOP! STOP IT! HAHAHAHA!"

Her laughter echoed through the arena, amplified by Vox's sound system until it filled every corner of the massive space. The crowd devoured the spectacle, their cheers mixing with her desperate cries. On the screens, cameras captured every angle - close-ups of her writhing face, her twitching feet, the tears beginning to stream from her ancient eyes.

"There she is," Vox narrated with sadistic pleasure. "The Queen of Hell, reduced to this. Not so dignified now, is she?"

Lilith couldn't form words to respond. The sensations were too intense, too relentless. Every time she managed to draw breath, another wave of tickling fingers stole it away. An imp had found the spot just above her hip bone, and its attention there sent electric shocks of unwanted sensation through her entire lower body. Others focused on her neck, her ears, the backs of her knees - finding her vulnerabilities with demonic cruelty.

And beneath the torment, something worse was building.

She felt it first as warmth - a treacherous heat pooling low in her belly. The tickle torture was stimulation of a kind she hadn't experienced in ages. Every brush of fingers against her skin sent signals cascading through her nervous system, and not all of them registered as pain. Some of them, to her mounting horror, registered as pleasure.

"Interesting," Vox observed, and Lilith realized that his cameras were capturing everything - including the way her body was beginning to respond. "It seems our Queen is enjoying herself more than she'd like to admit."

"N-NAHAHAHA! NEVER!" Lilith forced out, but the denial rang hollow even to her own ears. Her hips had begun to twitch in involuntary rhythm, her back arching against restraints that offered no escape.

The larger creatures at her feet intensified their assault, their clawed fingers dancing across her soles in patterns designed to drive victims to the edge of madness. At the same time, the imps shifted their attention - away from her sides, toward more intimate targets. Small hands crept beneath the remnants of her gown, finding the sensitive skin of her inner thighs. Other fingers traced the outline of her breasts through the silk, circling but never quite touching the peaks that had hardened despite her wishes. The combination was devastating.

"HAHAHA! OH GOD, PLEASE! AHAHAHA!"

Lilith's pleas had become incoherent, laughter and words blurring together as her overtaxed mind struggled to process the onslaught. The heat in her core was blazing now, building toward a crescendo she was powerless to prevent. She could feel it approaching, the shameful peak that Vox clearly intended to drag her toward.

"She's close," Vox announced to his audience, as casually as if commenting on the weather. "The great Lilith, Mother of Demons, about to come undone by a bunch of imps. Watch closely, everyone! You won't want to miss this..."

The tormentors redoubled their efforts. Feathered implements appeared in some of their hands, tracing across the spaces between her toes. Every erogenous zone was targeted simultaneously, the tickling and stimulation blending into a single overwhelming sensation.

Lilith screamed as her orgasm hit like a physical blow, her entire body seizing against the restraints as pleasure ripped through her against her will. Her laughter transformed into something closer to a wail, ecstasy and humiliation tangling together. Her vision went white at the edges, her ancient mind momentarily blanking under the force of sensations she couldn't control.

But the demons didn't stop.

Even as she hung limp in her bonds, gasping for breath, the torment continued unabated. The laughter that spilled from her now was weaker, more desperate - the sounds of someone pushed past their limits and shoved further still.

"One," Vox counted, his voice cutting through her overwhelmed consciousness. "Let's see how many more we can get before daybreak, shall we?"

The imps chittered their agreement, and their fingers resumed their dance across Lilith's quivering flesh.

Part Two: The Machine

The arena had emptied, its bloodthirsty audience dispersed to spread tales of Lilith's humiliation across every circle of Hell. The screens that had broadcast her torment now displayed Vox's logo on loop, a constant reminder of who had orchestrated her downfall. But the spectacle's end did not mean Lilith's ordeal was over.

Far from it.

She was transported in chains - unnecessary, given her depleted state, but Vox appreciated the symbolism. The imps who had spent the night mapping every ticklish inch of her body now carried her through V Tower's corridors. Lilith's head lolled against her chest, her limbs hanging limp, her throat so raw from hours of forced laughter that she could barely swallow.

Forty-seven orgasms. Vox had counted every one.

And yet, beneath the exhaustion and the humiliation, a spark remained.

Charlie, she thought, clinging to the name like a lifeline. Lucifer. I will not... I cannot...

The thought fractured as the procession halted before a massive door. It slid open with a pneumatic hiss, revealing the chamber Vox had prepared for the next phase of her conditioning.

The room was circular, dominated by a device that defied easy description. It resembled a throne, if thrones were designed by engineers with unlimited budgets and deeply sadistic imaginations. The seat was contoured to hold a body in precise position, with restraints at every conceivable point - wrists, ankles, thighs, waist, neck. Above and around it, mechanical arms bristled with attachments: brushes, probes, vibrating implements, and stranger tools whose purposes Lilith couldn't immediately identify.

But the most striking feature was the helmet.

It hung suspended above the throne's headrest, a sleek piece of hardware covered in sensors and emitters. Inside its curved shell, screens displayed swirling patterns of light - hypnotic spirals that seemed to pulse in a soothing rhythm not unlike a heartbeat.

"Welcome to Phase Two," Vox announced, his voice emanating from speakers embedded in the walls. His screen-face appeared on monitors throughout the chamber, watching from every angle. "I call it the Reformation Suite. Catchy, don't you think?"

Lilith tried to speak - to curse him, to threaten him, to do something that might reclaim a fragment of her dignity - but her ruined voice produced only a hoarse rasp. The imps took advantage of her weakness, manhandling her toward the throne.

"Don't strain yourself," Vox continued. "You'll need your voice later. For the screaming and laughing."

They locked her into the device, and when they were finished, Lilith found herself unable to move so much as a finger. The throne's contours pressed against her back, her arms stretched along its metal armrests, her legs spread and secured to extensions that held them apart at a precise angle.

Exposed. Vulnerable. Available.

The helmet descended, settling over her head with a soft click. Lilith's vision was immediately consumed by the swirling lights, blues and purples and pinks that danced across her retinas in patterns too complex for her exhausted mind to track. A subtle hum filled her ears, subliminal frequencies designed to bypass conscious thought and speak directly to the deeper structures of the brain.

"Now," Vox said, his voice somehow clearer than before, as if it were coming from inside her skull rather than the speakers, "let's begin your education."

The first hour could almost be described as gentle. The lights pulsed in soothing rhythms, and the subliminal tones carried messages that seemed, at first, merely strange. Relax. Accept. Surrender. Lilith recognized the technique as primitive brainwashing, the kind that mortal governments had experimented with during the twentieth century. She had survived the Garden of Eden's restrictions, she would not be undone by advertising.

But then the machine's other functions activated.

Mechanical arms unfolded from the throne's framework, their attachments spinning to life. Soft brushes found the soles of her feet, rotating against her arches in patterns that immediately rekindled the torment of the arena. Lilith's body jerked against the restraints, her raw throat producing a strangled laugh that was half sob.

"Tickling and conditioning work wonderfully together," Vox explained from his omnipresent screens. "The laughter releases endorphins, which make the brain more receptive to suggestion. The repeated orgasms create pleasure associations that can be... redirected. And after a full day of preparation, your neural pathways are beautifully primed."

The brushes intensified their assault while new arms descended. Feathered implements traced along her ribs, following the maps the imps had created during her public degradation. Tiny vibrating beads pressed against her inner thighs, creeping ever closer to her core without quite touching it.

And through it all, the helmet whispered.

You want to submit. Submission is pleasure. Pleasure is purpose.

"No," Lilith gasped, forcing the word out despite the laughter that tried to consume it. "I am - hahaha! I am Lilith - AHAHAHA!! The First-!"

You are empty. You need to be filled. Breeding is bliss.

The words slithered into her consciousness like snakes, coiling around thoughts she tried to hold onto. She thought of Charlie... her daughter's face, her hopeful eyes... and the machine seemed to sense it. The images in the helmet shifted, showing her visions of motherhood twisted into something obscene. Fertility. Pregnancy. The primal satisfaction of being used.

"STOP IT!" Lilith screamed, but her voice cracked into giggles as a mechanical arm found a spot just below her left armpit. "I WON'T - HAHAHAHA - I WON'T GIVE IN!!!"

"You will," Vox assured her. "They all do, eventually. Though I admit, you're lasting longer than most." He flashed her a brief look of respectful acknowledgment. "The last Overlord I put through this system broke in six hours. You're already past that. Impressive."

The praise meant nothing. Lilith focused on her defiance, on the core of herself that had never bowed to anyone - not Adam, not God, not even Lucifer in his darkest moods. She was the First Woman, the Mother of Demons, the Queen of Hell. She would not become whatever Vox wanted her to become.

But the machine was relentless.

***

Hours bled into each other, marked only by the cycling of the brainwashing sequences and the mounting count of forced orgasms. The helmet's programming grew more sophisticated as time passed, adapting to her resistance. When she thought of Charlie, it showed her images of empty nurseries waiting to be filled. When she thought of Lucifer, it whispered that true devotion meant service, meant submission, meant giving her body over to purposes greater than herself.

And always, always, the tickling continued.

The machine had catalogued her every sensitivity during the hours in the arena, and now it exploited that knowledge with mechanical precision. Rotating brushes worked her feet without pause, varying their speed and pressure to prevent any possibility of habituation. Feathered arms painted torment across her ribs, her stomach, the tender curves of her hips. Vibrating attachments kept her arousal perpetually elevated, driving her toward climax after climax while the helmet captured each peak as an opportunity for deeper programming.

Pleasure is surrender. Surrender is purpose. Your purpose is to breed.

"Nhhmph! No - hahahaha! PLEASE!!!"

You want to be filled. You need to be filled. Say it.

"I... I w-want-" The words tried to form themselves on her tongue, dragged up from somewhere below conscious thought. Lilith bit down on them hard. "I WANT YOU TO GO FUCK YOURSELF, VOX!"

Electricity crackled through the throne, a punishment for her resistance. Lilith shrieked - a sound that transformed almost immediately into hysterical laughter as every tickling implement intensified simultaneously. Her body trembled, another orgasm ripping through her before she could brace for it.

Good girl. Such a good breeder. Let go. Accept your purpose.

She didn't accept. But she felt herself wanting to, and that was almost worse.

Part Three: The Kraken's Bride

A week passed.

Seven days of uninterrupted conditioning, broken only by brief periods where Lilith was removed from the throne to be force-fed and hosed down like livestock. Seven days of tickling that never stopped, of orgasms that blurred into one continuous cascade of stolen pleasure, of whispered programming that burrowed ever deeper into her fracturing psyche.

She had stopped counting the climaxes somewhere around two hundred.

The brainwashing had made progress - Vox could see it in the data, in the way Lilith's body now responded to certain trigger phrases with immediate arousal. When the machine whispered breeder, her pupils dilated. When it said submit, moisture gathered between her spread thighs. The associations were taking root, laying groundwork that could eventually support complete personality reconstruction.

But her mind refused to surrender.

Beneath the layers of conditioning, Lilith clung to the images that defined her: Charlie's smile, Lucifer's eyes, the moment she had first said no to a power greater than herself. The machine could make her body betray her a thousand times over, but it couldn't touch the stubbornness that lived in her marrow.

Vox found this simultaneously admirable and infuriating.

"The standard protocols aren't sufficient," he admitted to Valentino during a private conference, the moth demon's image floating on one of V Tower's many screens. "She's responding to the physical conditioning, but the psychological core remains intact. At this rate, I'll have a very eager fucktoy who still thinks she's the Queen of Hell."

Valentino's laugh was both silky and sinister. "Sounds like my kind of problem. Want me to send some of my specialists?"

"Your people are skilled, but they're still... conventional." Vox's screen displayed a thoughtful expression. "I need something more exotic. Something that can break her in ways the machine can't."

A pause. Then Valentino's smile widened, showing too many teeth. "You're thinking of him, aren't you?"

"I'm considering all options."

"Voxxy, baby, if you want to bring in Tenticklus the Tickle Kracken, you're not dealing with me anymore. That's Overlord territory. Deep Overlord territory." Valentino's tone had shifted to carry an undercurrent of genuine caution. "That thing gives me the creeps, and I've seen some shit."

"Which is exactly why I need him."

The entity known as Tenticklus had existed in Hell's depths since before the first sinners fell. Some claimed he was a demon in the traditional sense - a corrupted soul twisted into monstrous form over millennia of punishment. Others whispered that he was something older, a primordial creature that had claimed Hell as its territory when the realm was still forming from the chaos of creation.

What everyone agreed on was his specialty.

Tenticklus broke the unbreakable. He reduced the proudest Overlords to quivering wrecks, transformed iron-willed warriors into simpering pets. His methods were unique - a combination of physical torment and something that touched the very essence of his victims' souls. And his price, paid by the Overlords who hired his services, was always the same: breeding rights to his conquests.

Because Tenticklus was, above all else, a creature of fertility. His victims didn't merely submit - they became vessels for his offspring, their bodies and minds reshaped to serve a singular reproductive purpose. It was a fate reserved for Hell's most powerful females, the ones too dangerous to simply kill and too valuable to leave uncontrolled.

Vox had never considered using him before. The cost was high, and the results were... extreme.

But Lilith was proving to be an extreme case.

***

She knew something had changed before the door opened.

The week of conditioning had left Lilith's senses paradoxically heightened, her nervous system so overstimulated that even subtle shifts in the environment registered significantly. The air pressure in the chamber altered, carrying with it a scent she didn't recognize: brine and something older, something that smelled like the deepest trenches of oceans that had never touched sunlight.

The helmet's programming paused, its swirling lights freezing mid-pattern. In the sudden clarity, Lilith became aware of her own body in excruciating detail: the slick arousal coating her thighs, the constant trembling of muscles that hadn't truly relaxed in days, the hollow ache in her core that the machine had created and refused to satisfy.

Broodmare, her conditioned mind whispered without her permission. Empty. Need to be filled.

She shoved the thought down, but it left residue behind. The door opened.

He filled the threshold like a living shadow, and even in her degraded state, Lilith felt genuine terror for the first time since this nightmare began.

Tenticklus' form defied easy categorization. Tentacles emerged from every surface, dozens of them ranging in size from finger-thin to thicker than Lilith's waist. They moved with independent intelligence, writhing and coiling in patterns that seemed almost thoughtful. His skin, if it could be called that, was a deep purple-black that gleamed wetly in the chamber's harsh light. Countless glowing eyes seemed to appear and disappear across the amorphous blob that was his core.

"So," Tenticklus said, his voice resonant and oddly musical, "this is the famous Lilith. The First Woman. Mother of Demons." He flowed into the room, tentacles extending before him to taste the air. "I've wanted to meet you for a very long time."

"Don't-" Lilith's voice cracked, the first word she'd been able to form in hours. "Don't come near me!"

"Oh, but I must..." Tenticklus circled the throne slowly, his tentacles reaching out to brush against the restraints, the mechanical arms, the helmet that had been trying to reprogram her for a week. "My employer has paid handsomely for my services. And I do so hate to disappoint."

Vox's face appeared on the screens, watching with barely concealed excitement.

"Tenticklus, thank you for accepting the contract. I trust you've reviewed the files?"

"Extensively." One of Tenticklus' tentacles traced along Lilith's cheek, and she couldn't stop herself from flinching, from giggling, the touch registering as ticklish despite its gentleness. "The machine has done good work. Foundational conditioning, heightened sensitivity, implanted breeding urges. But the core remains intact."

The tentacle slid down to her throat, not squeezing, just resting there with implicit threat. "That's where I come in."

"How long?" Vox asked.

"Difficult to say. She's older than anyone I've ever worked on, and stronger-willed than most. Weeks, certainly. Perhaps longer." Tenticklus' smile widened. "But she will break. They always do, in the end."

Lilith summoned every remaining shred of defiance, forcing words through her ravaged throat. "I am the First Woman. I refused God Himself. You think a squid is going to - AHAHAHA!"

Her bravado collapsed into helpless laughter as a dozen tentacles descended on her at once.

***

Tenticklus' method was devastatingly elegant.

He didn't simply touch her, he engulfed her. Tentacles wrapped around her limbs, her torso, her throat, holding her in a grip that was somehow more absolute than the mechanical restraints. Smaller tendrils found their way beneath what remained of her clothing, shredding it aside to expose skin that had been under assault for days and had become almost unbearably sensitive.

The tickling was unlike anything the machine had managed - organic, unpredictable, intelligent. Tenticklus' appendages seemed to know exactly where to touch, how much pressure to apply, when to switch patterns before she could adjust. They danced across her soles with maddening precision, traced spiraling patterns along her ribs, found the spots behind her knees and in the creases of her elbows and along the curve of her neck.

"HAHAHAHA - OH GOD! HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Shhh," Tenticklus murmured, his voice somehow audible beneath her shrieking laughter. "Don't fight it. Your body already knows what it needs."

It did. That was the worst part.

The week of conditioning had rewired her responses in ways she was only now fully understanding. The tickling sensations that had once been mere torment now carried an edge of pleasure, each brush of tentacle-flesh sending signals that sparked arousal alongside hysteria. Her hips began to move without her consent, grinding against nothing, seeking stimulation that wasn't there.

"You see?" Tenticklus continued, and she could hear the satisfaction in his voice. "The machine prepared you beautifully. Made you hungry. But it doesn't have the capacity to satisfy that hunger... not really. It can make you cum, but it can't make you full."

A larger tentacle slid between her spread thighs, not penetrating, just resting there against her slick folds. Lilith's breath caught on a laugh, her body trying to press down against it, seeking any sensation that might fill the terrible emptiness the conditioning had created.

"I can fill you," Tenticklus whispered. "I can give you what you need. What you've been made to need."

"Nngh! No! Hahaha! I don't want..."

"You do." The tentacle pressed inward, just slightly, spreading her open around its tapered tip. Lilith's laughter melted into a moan. "Your body doesn't lie to me. I can feel how wet you are. How ready."

He thrust the tentacle inside her with one smooth motion, and Lilith's world went white.

The machine had made her cum hundreds of times, but this was different. This was being filled, the hollowness that had tormented her finally answered. Tenticklus' appendage stretched her perfectly, touching places inside that seemed to have been designed specifically for him. Her inner walls clenched around the intrusion, welcoming it despite every conscious protest.

"There," Tenticklus breathed. "Now we can begin properly."

What followed was beyond anything Vox's technology could have achieved.

Tenticklus fucked her with relentless, rhythmic precision, his tentacle pistoning in and out while others continued their tickling assault. The combination was overwhelming, pleasure and torment tangled so tightly that she couldn't separate them, each sensation amplifying the other into something that transcended both.

Her orgasms came in waves now, crashing over her with barely any space between them. And with each peak, Tenticklus whispered to her.

"You were made for this. The First Woman, the first breeder. Your purpose was always to be filled, to bear offspring, to serve as a vessel for new life."

"No..." Lilith gasped, but the word had no conviction behind it.

"Your rebellion was a mistake. You thought freedom meant refusing your nature, but all it did was leave you empty. Unfulfilled." Another tentacle joined the first, stretching her wider, and Lilith's protest dissolved into a scream of terrible pleasure. "I can end that emptiness. I can give you purpose again."

The helmet had resumed its programming, its whispered suggestions now reinforced by Tenticklus' physical demonstration. Every breeding trigger the machine had implanted fired in sequence as the demon filled her again and again. Her conditioned mind began to accept what her body was experiencing as right, as necessary.

Breeder, her thoughts echoed. Made to be filled. Made to submit.

"No," she tried again, but this time her voice was weaker. "Charlie... Lucifer... I have to..."

"They don't need you." Tenticklus' voice was gentle now, almost kind. "Charlie has found her own path. Lucifer barely notices your absence. You've been clinging to ghosts, Lilith. But I'm offering you something real. Something immediate."

A tentacle found her clit, pressing and rubbing with hip-trembling skill. Lilith's back arched off the throne as another orgasm tore through her, and in that moment of absolute vulnerability, Tenticklus' words sank deeper than the machine's ever had.

Maybe he's right, some traitorous part of her whispered. Maybe this is what you were always meant for.

She shoved the thought away, but it left marks behind.

***

Days passed, perhaps weeks. Time had ceased to have meaning in Tenticklus' coils.

The machine remained active, its brainwashing protocols running continuously, but it was now secondary to the demon's personal attentions. Tenticklus kept her in a state of perpetual stimulation, his tentacles working her body around the clock. He fucked her in every position the throne's restraints allowed, his appendages filling her from multiple angles simultaneously while others maintained their tickling torment.

And he talked to her constantly.

"You're doing so well," he would murmur against her ear as she convulsed through another climax. "Learning to accept your nature. Soon you won't remember why you ever resisted."

"I am... Lilith..." she would gasp in response, but the name was starting to feel less like an identity and more like an echo.

The memories were fading. Not gone - she could still picture Charlie's face, still feel the ghost of Lucifer's touch - but distant. Photographs under glass, beautiful but unreachable. What felt real, what felt present, was Tenticklus inside her and around her, the endless cascade of pleasure and laughter, the whispered promises of purpose and belonging.

When he filled her with his seed for the first time, something inside Lilith changed irrecoverably.

"There," Tenticklus breathed, his tentacles buried deep as strange warmth spread through her womb. "Now you're truly mine. Truly ours."

Lilith's only response was a broken giggle that might have been a sob.

Part Four: The Queen's Descent
The chamber had been transformed.

Gone were the sterile walls and harsh lighting of V Tower's conditioning suite. In their place, Tenticklus had crafted something that resembled a lair: organic curves replacing sharp angles, bioluminescent growths casting the space in shifting hues of purple and blue. The throne remained at the center, but it was now enveloped in the demon's flesh, integrated into his body like a throne grown from living tissue.

And at its heart, Lilith hung suspended in a web of tentacles.

She no longer resembled the regal figure who had entered the arena weeks ago. Her pale hair floated in the strange currents of Tenticklus's domain, tangled and wild. Her breasts had swollen slightly, her hips seemed fuller, her belly carried a subtle curve that hadn't been there before. The demon's seed had taken root, and her form was adapting to accommodate it.

But the most profound changes were invisible.

Her eyes, when they opened between bouts of forced laughter, held a glassy quality that spoke of a mind under siege. The defiance that had sustained her through the first weeks had eroded to something fragile, a flickering candle in a hurricane. She still clung to her identity, still whispered the names of her daughter and husband during rare moments of clarity... but those moments grew shorter and further apart with each passing day.

Tenticklus noticed every shift, every crack in her armor.

"Good morning, my Queen," he purred, his voice resonating through the chamber as his tentacles began their daily ministrations. "Or is it evening? I confess I've lost track. Time flows so strangely when you're having fun."

Lilith's only response was a whimper that transformed into a giggle as tendrils found her feet.

"Still not talking? That's alright. I prefer your laughter anyway." Tenticklus' face emerged from the organic mass surrounding the throne, hovering inches from hers. His black eyes reflected her broken expression back at her. "It's such a pure thing... no pretense, no royal dignity. Just raw, helpless reaction."

His smaller tentacles had already begun their work, dancing across her soles with expert precision. Lilith's body jerked in the restraining coils, her mouth stretching into a rictus grin as the sensations overwhelmed her oversensitized nerves.

He thrust inside her without further preamble, filling the emptiness that the conditioning had carved into her very soul. Lilith's laugh turned into a moan, her hips rolling to meet the intrusion despite every remaining fragment of her will screaming in protest.

"There's my good girl," Tenticklus crooned. "See how your body welcomes me? It knows what it needs, even if your stubborn little mind hasn't fully accepted it yet."

"I've been doing this for millennia," Tenticklus continued conversationally, maintaining a steady rhythm inside her while his other tentacles resumed their tickling assault. "Breaking proud women, turning queens into quivering broodmares. But I have to say, Lilith... you're special."

"Nhhhahaha... I'm not... AHAHAHA!!!"

"Oh, but you are." He found the spot in her armpits, the one that made her thrash most violently, and focused several tendrils there. "Most of my conquests break within days. A week at most. But you've held out for... what is it now? A month? Longer? That stubbornness is impressive. Arousing, even."

He punctuated the word with a particularly deep thrust, and Lilith's laughter shattered into a cry of unwilling pleasure.

"But it's also futile," Tenticklus added, his voice dropping to a whisper. "You're going to break, my Queen. Not today, perhaps. Not tomorrow. But soon. And when you do, it will be glorious."

The days blurred together in an endless cycle of torment and pleasure.

Tenticklus kept Lilith in a state of constant stimulation, never allowing her more than minutes of rest before beginning anew. His tentacles worked her body with tireless efficiency, tickling her most sensitive spots while simultaneously fucking her toward climax after climax. The helmet reinforced every lesson, its programming now so deeply embedded that Lilith found herself mouthing the mantras without conscious thought.

Breeder. Submit. Pleasure is purpose.

"You're getting closer," Tenticklus observed during one of their sessions, his tentacles buried in her from multiple angles. "I can feel it in the way you clench around me. The way your laughter has changed." He traced a tendril along her cheek, collecting the tears that streamed from her eyes. "These used to taste like defiance. Now they taste like surrender."

"N-no!" Lilith gasped, but the word had no force behind it. "I'm still - hahahaha! Still Lilith!"

"Are you?" Tenticklus's tone was mockingly thoughtful. "Let's see. What do you remember about being Lilith? Quick now, before I make you cum again...."

He stilled his movements, and Lilith's conditioned body immediately began to crave the stimulation it had been denied. She writhed in his grip, trying to grind against the tentacles inside her, but he held her immobile.

"Answer the question, pet. What do you remember?"

"I... I have a daughter..." The words came slowly, dragged up from deep water. "Charlie. Her name is Charlie. And... and Lucifer... my husband..."

"Mmm. Those names again." Tenticklus resumed thrusting, slowly, teasingly. "Do you remember what they look like?"

Lilith tried to conjure their faces, but the images were blurry, fragmented. Charlie's smile blended into the swirling patterns of the helmet. Lucifer's eyes became Tenticklus's black voids.

"I... I can't..."

"No, you can't." The demon's voice was almost gentle. "Because those memories are fading, Lilith. Every orgasm I give you, every hour you spend in my coils, they slip a little further away. Soon they'll be gone entirely, and all that will be left is this."

He began to fuck her in earnest, his tentacles resuming their tickling assault with renewed intensity. Lilith's half-formed protests dissolved into helpless laughter, her mind swept away by the flood of sensation.

"All that will be left," Tenticklus continued over her shrieking giggles, "is a pretty little breeder who exists only to laugh and come and be filled. Doesn't that sound peaceful? No more responsibility, no more guilt, no more thinking. Just pleasure. Forever."

Some part of Lilith screamed in horror at the vision he painted. But another part, a growing part, found it almost... appealing.

Vox monitored the proceedings with growing satisfaction.

The neural readouts told a story of systematic deconstruction. Lilith's resistance patterns, once formidable walls of defiance, had crumbled to scattered rubble. Her brain chemistry showed permanent alterations: elevated arousal baselines, strengthened pleasure-submission associations, degraded connections to long-term memory centers. The Queen of Hell was being unmade, neuron by neuron.

"Excellent progress," he commented during his weekly check-in, his screen-face displaying rare approval as he reviewed the data. "Her core identity is fragmenting rapidly."

Tenticklus's image appeared on a secondary monitor, his form writhing in ways that made even Vox slightly uncomfortable. "She's remarkably resilient. I've had to develop new techniques specifically for her." A tentacle lifted into frame, its tip displaying small, rapidly-vibrating cilia. "This variant alone took me three days to perfect. It's particularly effective on the arches of her feet."

"Spare me the details. How much longer?"

"Difficult to say with precision. She's still holding onto fragments, those family memories you mentioned. But they're gossamer-thin now. Another week, perhaps two, and she won't be able to remember her own name without prompting."

Vox nodded, calculations running behind his glowing eyes. The timeline was acceptable. His plans for Hell's conquest were proceeding on schedule, and Lilith's public degradation would serve as the capstone. Once the other Overlords witnessed what he'd done to the Queen herself, resistance would crumble.

"Continue as planned. And Tenticklus?" Vox's grin sharpened. "Make sure she's thoroughly bred. I want her obviously pregnant when we present her to the public."

"With pleasure," the demon replied, and the hunger in his voice was unmistakable.

"Look at you," Tenticklus breathed, his voice thick with satisfaction as he surveyed his handiwork. "So full. So ripe. This is what you were made for, Lilith. Not ruling, not rebelling... but*breeding*."

"Hahaha - yesss... hahahaha!"

Had she just agreed with him? Lilith couldn't tell anymore. The line between her thoughts and his programming had blurred beyond recognition. When he told her she was a breeder, it felt true. When he said submission was her purpose, her body sang in agreement.

"Tell me what you are," Tenticklus demanded, his tentacles finding her most ticklish spots: the spaces between her toes, the creases beneath her swollen breasts, the curve where her distended belly met her hips.

"I... AHAHAHA! I'm a... hahaha- !"

"Say it."

The word rose up from somewhere deep, somewhere the conditioning had touched and transformed. "BROODMARE! I'm a - hahahaha! A BROODMARE!"

"Good girl." Tenticklus rewarded her with a thrust so deep she saw stars. "And what is your purpose?"

"To - to be filled - AHAHAHA! To submit, hahaha! To MAKE BABIES!!!"

"Perfect."

The orgasm that followed was unlike any before it - not just physical pleasure but psychological release. Something in Lilith's mind gave way, a wall that had held against weeks of assault finally crumbling. The relief was almost euphoric.

"There she goes," Tenticklus murmured, watching ancient defiance drain from her eyes. "There's my pretty, broken Queen."

***

Six weeks into Tenticklus's care, Lilith stopped forming coherent words.

The helmet had been removed - unnecessary now, its programming burned so deeply into her neurons that external reinforcement was redundant. She hung in her web of tentacles, belly round and heavy, and all that emerged from her lips was laughter. Endless, breathless, mindless laughter that varied only in intensity based on where Tenticklus was touching her.

"Aww, has my little breeder forgotten how to talk?" the demon teased, trailing a tentacle along her sole just to hear her shriek. "That's alright. You don't need words anymore. All you need to do is laugh, and cum, and grow fat with my spawn."

"Ahahahaha... hehehehe... AHAHAHAHA!!!"

"That's it. That's my good girl." Tenticklus pressed himself inside her again. He'd barely been outside her for days, keeping her perpetually filled. "You know, I almost miss the defiance. It was fun, breaking through all those walls you'd built. But this..." He thrust deep, and her laughter pitched upward. "This is satisfying in its own way."

Lilith's eyes had gone completely vacant. Occasionally they would flicker, as if some ghost of her former self was trying to surface, but the attempts grew weaker each day. The Queen of Hell was drowning in an ocean of sensation, and she had forgotten how to swim.

"Vox wants to parade you in front of all Hell soon," Tenticklus continued conversationally. "Show everyone what becomes of those who oppose him. I'll miss having you all to myself, I'll admit. You've been exquisite entertainment."

His tentacles caressed her swollen belly, feeling the life quickening within. Multiple lives, actually - his offspring rarely came singly. Lilith would be birthing a brood, and her conditioned mind would interpret each contraction, each emergence, as pleasure.

"But don't worry. I've negotiated continued access as part of my payment. You'll never be without my attention for long." Tenticklus's smile was possessive. "After all, a breeder's work is never done."

The entity that had once been Lilith heard the words without understanding them. They were just sounds, pleasant background noise to the endless symphony of tickling and fucking that had become her entire existence. She laughed because that was all she knew how to do.

Somewhere, impossibly far away, a memory surfaced: a young woman with pale hair and hopeful eyes, saying something about redemption. The memory lingered for a moment like a bubble on water.

Then it popped, and was gone forever.

## Outro: The New Order

Three months.

That was how long it had taken to completely destroy Lilith, the First Woman, the Queen of Hell. Ninety days of tickling torture, forced orgasms, psychological conditioning, and demonic breeding. Ninety days of Vox's patient machinations and Tenticklus's relentless attentions.

The result stood - or rather, hung - before the assembled Overlords of Hell.

The arena had been prepared for the occasion, every seat filled with the damned and the demons who ruled them. The screens that ringed the coliseum displayed Vox's logo interspersed with live feeds of the central stage, where the conquered Queen was being displayed like a trophy. She was barely recognizable.

Lilith's body had been transformed by months of breeding, her belly enormously swollen with Tenticklus's offspring, her breasts heavy and leaking, her hips spread wide by the changes his seed had wrought. She hung suspended in a specialized frame, her limbs spread in the same position she'd been locked into on that first night, but now she made no effort to resist. Her eyes were empty, her mouth hanging open, and the only sound she produced was the breathless giggling that had replaced all other vocalization.

"Behold!" Vox's voice thundered through the arena, his screen-face displayed at building-height on every surface. "The outcome of our little contest of endurance!"

The crowd roared - some in approval, some in horror. This was power on display, undeniable and absolute.

"The Queen of Hell herself," Vox continued, "reduced to this. A breeding sow. A tickle toy. A cautionary tale for anyone who might consider opposing my rule."

"Look at her," he commanded, reaching out to trail a claw along her side. Lilith's laughter spiked momentarily, her body jerking in its restraints. "The First Woman. Adam's equal, Lucifer's bride, mother of demon-kind. And now..." He reached lower, patting her distended belly. "Just a vessel. Empty in the head, full everywhere else."

In the private boxes, the Overlords watched with varying expressions. Valentino smiled, as he had witnessed the process firsthand. Carmilla Carmine's face was carved from stone, revealing nothing. Zestial Morde observed with bewilderment.

None of them challenged Vox's declaration. None of them dared.

"As of this moment," Vox announced, "I am assuming direct control of Hell's governance. Any who wish to dispute this claim may step forward and face the same fate as our former Queen."

Silence, broken only by Lilith's endless giggling.

"I thought not." Vox's grin encompassed the entire arena. "Welcome to the new era, Hell. The Vox era."

***

Vox's ascension to power was marked by festivities throughout Pentagram City, and the Overlords fell in line one by one. They were either convinced by Lilith's example, or by calculating that resistance wasn't worth the risk. Those few who harbored private objections kept them carefully hidden. And through it all, Lilith remained on display.

She was moved from venue to venue, a living symbol of Vox's absolute authority. Her frame was modified to allow "interaction" - for a fee, any demon or sinner could approach the fallen Queen and contribute to her torment. Lines formed around the block, thousands eager to tickle the soles of Hell's former ruler, to watch her huge belly jiggle with laughter, to witness firsthand the complete destruction of the First Woman's mind.

Lilith barely noticed her companions. Her world had narrowed to the immediate: the sensations on her skin, the fullness inside her, the unending waves of ticklish torment and forced pleasure. The First Woman had finally found the submission that Adam had demanded and God had required.

It had just taken Hell itself to break her.
