Chapter 196

Now then, I can’t stay too shocked that I’ve unintentionally created a new species of succubi, known as Drag-Succubus, and that their numbers are nearly a thousand, and that they have all become a part of my family.

If I need to, I could leave a clone here and go back to Bern Village, but I am living a limited lifespan. I can’t keep taking these mental shocks and being discouraged by them forever. Fumu!

Between the two barriers set up by Keios and Mairahl in Caravis Tower, bathing in the pure light of the sun, we began to have another discussion about our future prospects.

「Alright, let’s reconfirm the situation again. The inside of the tower is a patchwork of battlefields from ancient times, and if you look up and see the strength of the hostile beings that exist in these battlefields, these places are holy precincts. But if you look down to the lower levels, even the people of this era can deal with them.

It’s fortunate that the lower limits of this tower are still at a standard that can be met by the people of this era. As for the residents that have been caught inside, this is how many we’ve had come to us as representatives」

When I regained my composure, I looked around at the others gathered at the main gate of Caravis Tower, some of them looking uncomfortable.

All of them were survivors who had been left behind in an interdimensional space when their universe had collapsed during the construction of Caravis Tower.

Some of them had had a good chance of surviving because they had been included inside the tower, so I can’t unconditionally blame Caravis for that.

At any rate, putting aside the Drag-Succubi, including Lily, the other residents of the tower standing around us knew that I and the others were above standard in power, so they definitely looked a little sick.

The ones who looked like they didn’t know what was going on were the humans, who didn’t look all that different from the humans on earth, while the ones who looked like they were about to die, with their souls spewing out of every orifice in their bodies, were the gods and their followers.

For them, who were left behind by the times, Mairahl, Caravis and Keios were their sworn enemies, so since they weren’t facing just them, but also me, they looked like they didn’t want to even think anymore.

In the off chance that one of us were to start a fight, they would have no choice but to be destroyed and disappear without even being able to defend themselves. I will try to make sure that doesn’t happen, but I’m sure their anxiety must be fierce.

While I sympathized with them, Mairahl, who had been pondering over how to deal with these people we had discovered from now on, spoke up with her own opinion.

「Most of them wish to return to the worlds that they came from. Starting with the humans under Chioushu’s protection, the people who were caught up in this are all fine with that. There are the evil gods and the ones from the Demon World, but to do the same for them is……」

Fumu, well, even though they are evil gods, they haven’t done anything yet this time, and this isn’t the time or place to question them about their past crimes either.

After experiencing this situation, even they would not think of committing any evil deeds on earth after they are returned to the Demon World.

Besides, after they are returned to the Demon World, the first thing they should do is rebuild a place for themselves.

When I looked at the evil gods as they came up as the topic of our conversation, they shrunk back pitifully, and some of them were even on the verge of physically collapsing, which made me realize just how violent I had been in my previous life.

I don’t think they have to be so afraid of me, but then again, I don’t have any intention of forgiving them if they stain their hands with any wrongdoings, and it would probably be better for the world and for the people if I could control them through their fear of me.

As I let out my usual “Fumu,” Caravis had an unpleasant grin on her face as she walked up to Mairahl, her natural sworn enemy.

「What, is the Mother Goddess of this world really okay with that? Wait, don’t tell me you’re actually planning on crushing them all afterward, popping them like bubbles, right?」

Taking little notice of Lenia entering into a panic, Caravis didn’t miss this perfect opportunity to aggravate Mairahl. If she would just let it slide, there wouldn’t be any unnecessary quarrels, this damn Caravis.

See, if they think that the Mother Goddess of the earth and the Great Evil Goddess were about to clash, the people living in the tower would all faint.

Thankfully, Mairahl didn’t seem to get angry, and she didn’t raise her voice in response to her sworn enemy’s attempt to agitate her. Fumu, at least she could stay calm.

「Unlike you, I don’t forget the words I say. You’re the one who decided on how to deal with them by everyone’s consensus. If you forget about that, and you do something to them after they return to the Demon World, Dran will punish you mercilessly」

Mairahl’s point was so well made, it caught Caravis off guard, and the great evil goddess could only let out a hysteric scream from the bottom of her heart.

「Fuguh–!?」

And then Caravis turned to look at me. Even though she herself probably knew that what Mairahl had said was true, she still wanted to make sure of it.

I made the most serious face I could, oozing out a sense of intimidation, and then I even made a show of nodding gravely. In actuality, if Caravis does do something, then I will do it. I will punish her, quite severely.

「Ugh, seriously…? No, that’s right, yes, I remember, Dra-chan’s just a shy boy who acts strict and indifferent to me」

「In that case, while you’re at it, shut your big mouth for a moment. I don’t care if you incur Dran’s wrath unintentionally by the slip of your tongue, but there are many people here who would get caught in the crossfire and suffer if you do」

「Ke, ke, keeee! What you said, like, really, really hit a nerve with me! If it weren’t for Dran watching, Lenia and I would have shown you the power of the closeness between mother and daughter. Right, Lenia-chan!」

As soon as Caravis said this, she turned to Lenia, who had been watching over them with a nervous expression on her face, and placed her hands on her shoulders and pulled her close, while she stuck her tongue out at Mairahl out of spite.

Lenia, who had somehow gotten caught up in all this, looked back and forth hurriedly between Caravis and Mairahl’s faces, but for her, her priority was her mother, Caravis.

As if in response to seeing the cool beauty of Mairahl’s determined face, Keios moved to stand at Mairahl’s side.

「If Lenia is on your side, then I must stand on Mairahl’s side to make it even」

Fumu, since Lenia has a spirituality on the same level as a great god, and has a factor from me, it’s certainly true that if the strongest god, Keios, stands with Mairahl, then both sides would be equal.

However, Lenia recognizes Keios as her beloved uncle, so it will be hard for her to give her all if the time comes for them to fight.

As a dangerous atmosphere suddenly started to brew, Aldeath laughed while he considered whether to just stand by and watch as a spectator, or to intervene. Meanwhile, Diadora and Lynette, who had gotten off of the Gandoga, and Ryoukichi and Liu Yu, were all looking at me, pleading for me to do something about this.

In a standoff between the three highest ranking gods and a divine beast who is on the same level as them, I’m pretty much the only one here who could intervene. There’s no helping it.

「That’s enough, you four. I can’t allow any behavior that would cause any enmity in this place. You took Caravis’s jesting words too seriously, Mairahl.

And Caravis, it’s not like you’re unaware of the way your words could be interpreted.

If you’re all going to fight, it’s clear that this is not the time or place for it.

If neither side will put down their weapons, then I shall have to intervene as a third party」

As I purposefully and consciously put weight and hardness to my words, Caravs, Mairahl, and Keios all let out small sighs, and the tension left their shoulders as the grim atmosphere was lifted.

From Lenia’s point of view, she was placed in a hard spot between two of her immediate family members, so she was greatly relieved that the atmosphere between her mother and her uncle was no longer hostile, and she wiped away the unusually cold sweat that she had been shedding.

I feel sorry for what they put Lenia through.
