Chapter 202: Past of a World
Chapter 202: Past of a World
Using the reports that Seraph obtained from being a spy, I was able to organize various moves to prevent the advancing enemy forces.
With these reports, it took me three months to solidify my control of the Human Empire, achieve a full invasion of the Light Realm, and completely destroy the Southern Realm.
Now I'm in a scorched wasteland that used to be the capital of the Northern Kingdom, almost all living beings within 10 kilometers are dead including my soldiers, I'm panting while a fucking blue crystal sword is stuck in my stomach and the Diedhauser jerk is in front of me, or what's left of him...
Diedhauser's mouth was gone so he couldn't speak, but the look of hatred on his face was enough to let me know this asshole is going to hunt me to death.
[System Notification: The 'Rasen' energy, the 'Reader's Madness' energy, the 'Obsession' stat, and the 'Stand: Liberate Me From Hell' skill have prevented a soul bondage skill from being able to affect the user]
[System Notification: The 'Anti-Rasen' energy has prevented the destruction of the contracts that link the user with other entities]
[System Notification: The skill 'Hero's Destiny' and passive stacking of three plot armors have prevented the user's destiny from being controlled]
[System Notification: The title 'Silly Jack' has prevented a high-level contract from being forcibly imposed on the user]
[System Notification: The curse on the user's soul imposed by the entity 'Beast VII' has been weakened by a holy energy]
[System Notification: The user's soul has received fatal injuries due to a holy energy]
[System Notification: The user's eternal soul has reduced the damage caused by the holy energy. The energy 'Reader's Madness' has used 40% of the current pool of Destiny Energy to repair the wounds on the user's soul]
[System Notification: Destiny Energy has dropped drastically. The updates of the worlds 'Martial World' and 'Luistopia' will be delayed until more Destiny Energy is obtained]
[System Notification: The user's body cannot move. The 'Rasen' energy can release the restrictions on the user's body, but this will cause a high-level curse on the user's soul]
"That looks painful…" - Kanata walked up to me.
Her body was covered in superficial wounds and burns, but she was alright as her body is the strongest in this world while the only weapon capable of seriously injuring her was now stuck in my stomach.
I couldn't move, but I used a telepathic link to talk to her. – "Please remove this damn thing from my stomach"
Kanata nodded and tried to pull the sword out of my stomach, although this girl is very rough and she accidentally almost cut me in half when she pulled the sword.
"I'm sorry!" – Kanata panicked seeing my intestines spilling out on the floor while Diedhauser had a condescending look.
[System Notification: The skill 'Heroes Never Die' has been activated. 0.1% Positive Karma has been lost]
Before Kanata and Diedhauser's stunned gazes, my body was enveloped in golden light as my injuries recovered at high speed.
I sighed gratefully. – "My holy lady is the best…"
The golden light intensified and my body was instantly healed, I even recovered a fraction of the Destiny Energy that I lost in this battle. It's not much, but it's better than nothing...
I put my hand on Kanata's shoulder and used [Hero's Martyrdom] to heal his wounds.
Diedhauser had extreme hatred in his eyes, but since he lost his limbs he could only stare at me in silence.
This reminds me of when a woman paid me to sleep with her ex-husband's new wife while the husband watched...
I wonder if the missions Mr. Ichijo sometimes gave me were to give me experience seducing women and being a womanizing bastard for the plan to unify the important families of Japan...
I stopped thinking nonsense and approached Diedhauser.
"Ne, senpai, this is the time where you put on a cocky attitude and talk nonsense so that the enemy has a chance to fight back" – BB was eating popcorn in my mind.
"Hey Listen! Put him on a bed so you can defecate next to him!" – Navi said something worthy of a fucking psychopath. – "… On second thought, even I think that is sick and disgusting… Mmmm, I know! Lie down with the two big-breasted women in front of his decapitated head! Show off the talent of an NTR protagonist!"
"The internet is rotting your non-existent brain..." - I sighed, this idiot will have restricted social networks since they are making him more stupid.
I formed an imitation of the Holy Sword and beheaded Diedhauser.
Although Higher Entities will not die even if their bodies are destroyed at the molecular level, this body is a puppet so the connection with the real Diedhauser was severed leaving only an artificial corpse.
I sighed and lay down on the charred ground to relax, this sucks...
Coco and the other goddesses who joined my group descended from the sky.
"You look terrible" – Rushia crouched down next to me and started pressing my cheek with her finger.
"I want to learn to wield a sword! Hey, yakuza still use swords? How about wooden swords?" – Coco began to blurt out words like a machine gun.
I sighed and opened a spiral portal where soldiers came out as Takashi approached me to take orders while maintaining a respectful attitude even though I look like a run-over dog. Military training works wonders in educating temperamental idiots.
"Collect materials and look for survivors" - I sighed and from my Rasen Dimension I took out my cell phone to show a selfie I took with a beautiful angel-like woman. – "Oh, if you find a female body with these characteristics, store it carefully…"
Takashi nodded and led the soldiers to work.
I sigh heavily, I feel sick…
Tsubaki stepped out of my Core of Existence and sat next to me, then used her thighs as a pillow for my head and began gently stroking my hair.
I sighed again, I didn't think I would feel so sick from having to behead a woman I developed favorable feelings for… Stupid feelings of attachment.
To give context I will summarize it in a few words: There are no longer racists with wings in this world.
After 2 of the 4 human nations were defeated the humans became anxious.
When I invaded the Southern Kingdom, those bastards used weapons of mass destruction to destroy the entire country when I was invading it.
Literally an eighth of this planet ceased to exist and were it not for the magical laws of this world keeping it stable, that level of destruction could cause natural disasters on the level of an apocalypse. Now, this planet looks like a bitten fruit, I'll say it's a pear so as not to give free publicity.
[Paranoia] warned me in time so I was able to save myself and my women, though I lost a couple of thousand soldiers who were scattered, and since their corpses were completely destroyed I couldn't revive them so now they're ghost soldiers.
Interestingly they and their families aren't bothered by this as a ghost can interact with the physical plane with enough training so they live normally except now they avoid sunlight.
After that, the main forces of humanity were concentrated in the capital of the Northern Kingdom.
Although I was able to go around them and wait for the Dimensional Gate to be complete, a problem arose that made me attack the capital despite how dangerous this was.
Next week my daughters will be born...
Apparently, the genetic improvements make the gestation period shorter and since I don't want to deal with war problems that prevent me from being present during the labor, I was forced to attack the capital in a totally violent way.
Coco used his most powerful magic, a miniature sun that when exploding generates a shock wave of heat capable of melting even the weapons provided by Paradise. She may not be a Higher Entity, but she does have the potential to become a dangerous entity capable of evaporating worlds.
[Paranoia] gave me several danger warnings so I was very careful on this mission.
The Human Empire had upgraded the defense systems after my fight with Archon, but Monika already controlled the defense system beforehand thanks to my infiltration mission, she just kept this fact hidden and no one noticed it since magical entities underestimate the technology.
At the decisive moment, I had the comm system order the soldiers to attack the heroes while the defense systems targeted Diedhauser, Seraph, the goddess Vysis, and the other racist puppets.
I made it appear that the humans had betrayed the agents of Paradise and although this was not enough to fool the puppets who obviously knew that this was my fault, I was able to fool the ones I was interested in, Emilia and Amelia.
When the conflict started I told both girls the 'truth'.
That I was Seiji and all this time I was working together with Diedhauser to make Paradise gain control of this world and the reason why I pretended to be Diedhauser's enemy was that the humans of this world were planning to betray paradise, which wasn't entirely a lie, those idiots really meant to betray them and it was thanks to their preparations that I was able to attack the capital with ease.
At first, the girls were a little doubtful, but I asked Seraph for help so that they would believe this lie since Seraph was Diedhauser's assistant.
I was careful that this only happened while Diedhauser was busy fighting one of the forest gods so he couldn't disprove my nonsense.
After that I made both girls go to my homeworlds under the pretense that this was too dangerous for them.
Both girls wanted to refuse so I used acupuncture to make them pass out. I made sure that the last thing they saw was me making a sad expression as if this was a goodbye.
After that, I apologized to Seraph and stabbed her heart to display her corpse as a trophy when facing Diedhauser.
I didn't have time to store her corpse and during the battle she got lost somewhere in this wasteland so I hope my soldiers will find her, at least I want to give her a decent burial, even if she's just a puppet...
I confronted Diedhauser by showing Seraph's corpse and Ryou Shiramine's head so this idiot doesn't know that I have the ability to infiltrate a hero summon.
So far things were going relatively well until everything went relatively bad.
Kanata, Ortro, and Ortro's subordinate goddesses attacked the puppets while I was dealing with Diedhauser, but on [Paranoia's] warning I had Ortro store the goddesses in his Mythological Pantheon and then had the people who seemed moderately important to me be absorbed into spiral portals with the help of Shijou's spatial skills.
I myself tried to escape, but then the trouble started.
Diedhauser took out a blue crystal sword and the entire space was sealed preventing me from fleeing, although my women had already managed to escape so I prepared to die several times without worry.
Various magical explosives were activated and although the explosion was not as strong as in the Southern Kingdom, the explosion destroyed the capital.
Diedhauser and I were all that was left in the capital so we had a head-to-head fight.
Although Diedhauser is stronger, faster, and has better magical abilities than me, my martial arts proved to have the potential to match the magical abilities of Higher Entities.
The problem was that with every second the crystal sword was pointed at me, I could feel various contracts and restrictions being imposed on me so I used a lot of energy to block those restrictions.
I finally understood what the Sword of the Law was, it was a damn slave collar that the agents of Paradise use to subdue outstanding and talented entities.
While I facing Diedhauser, System Goddess was able to analyze the effects of the sword and she noted that this sword can only enslave entities in the 'Hero', 'Savior', 'Saint', 'Protagonist', and 'Chosen' categories. A weapon designed to collect valuable pawns.
Since my mind was at its limits from resisting thousands of high-level contracts I had to call Kanata and the goddesses to help me kill this asshole.
With a constant barrage of attacks, Diedhauser was finally defeated, but the fucking sword has a special skill. If the wielder of the sword is defeated, the sword will ignore the principles of probability and stab the target it seeks to enslave.
Destiny and probability skills are still crap I don't know how to deal with so this crap pierced my abdomen sealing me and imposing millions of contracts on my soul, but luckily I was able to bypass them at the cost of a large amount of Destiny Energy.
The good side is that the curse on my soul weakened so I can keep getting stronger at higher speed, or what BB and Arisa called 'Stupid Generic Protagonist Power Ups'.
Well, whatever, this shit is finally over.
Now the racist faction of Paradise which has close ties to Gaia hates me to death, but at least my strength grew enough to face the shit I'll face back on Gaia...
Thinking about it, I don't want to go back to Gaia, that world is full of idiots...
"Senpai, we have a little problem…" – BB spoke with a bit of anxiety.
… I hate the plot…
"Now what?" - I sighed as I struggled to my feet.
"Senpai's pet went crazy!" – BB seemed to be running from something inside my mind.
Kon did not participate in this battle since through Seraph, I obtained an elixir capable of healing the corrupted soul of a Heretic God.
Although this is useless on Ortro, I used it on Kon and although she was only supposed to need to rest for one day, she was asleep for a week so BB kept an eye on her.
I didn't worry as Kon wasn't hurt, she seemed to be in a coma due to a mental nature issue born out of desperation, and while that sounds bad, I specialize in treating dementia issues so this isn't a problem.
I sighed and looked inside my mind where Kon was indeed screaming and flailing like a rabid animal.
Her words were incomprehensible and her thoughts were a mess so I didn't know what was happening to her.
I used [Anti-Rasen] to restrict her movements and since I was curious to know what was happening to my pet, I used [Reader's Perspective] to see her memories.

(3rd person perspective)
At the beginning of a certain world, life prospered.
This world was inhabited by different races ranging from fairies, dragons, gods, demons, and humans, but despite the constant conflicts that occurred between the races, the world itself was teeming with life and prosperity.
The most powerful beings in this world had conflicts of interest, personality problems, and selfish desires, but they all kept conflicts to a minimum due to the presence of the Will of the World that administered the world, Gaia.
Gaia made sure that every race in the world had the necessary resources to exist, and although some groups were greedy for other groups' resources, the conflict never became global in scale.
The most prosperous time in the world was called The Age of the Gods, a time when gods and mortals coexisted equally.
This time of peace was interrupted by the arrival of a god from another world who caused chaos by trying to subdue one of the world's races, this was the first contact between the inhabitants of Gaia and a Higher Entity.
Gaia instinctively knew what a foreign entity was so, at the cost of spending a lot of Destiny Energy, Gaia produced her first Guardians.
The Guardians captured the invader and extracted information about the multiverse from him, in this way Gaia knew the risk that the world was running since despite being a medium-level world that world had resources comparable to a high-level world.
Gaia knew that the Guardians would not be enough to protect the world as the world's natural barrier was very permissive towards foreign entities which was a flaw in the Laws.
If a powerful entity laid eyes on the world, then the world would lose to an invasion.
Gaia focused all of her power on establishing a barrier beyond natural law, a barrier that could deny access to any foreign entity and thus keep the world safe.
While Gaia concentrated on this, the inhabitants of the world began to develop taking advantage of the fact that Gaia did not supervise them.
Although the strongest beings prospered, there was a specific race that grew beyond any expectation, the humans.
In a matter of centuries, human society advanced to the point that it became the largest race in the world, expanding to every corner of the planet.
At that moment a phenomenon occurred that no one thought possible, humanity's collective survival instincts gave birth to a Gaia-like entity, Alaya.
Alaya was born with a single purpose, to protect and develop humanity no matter the cost, so she began to strengthen humans by giving them access to the secrets of other races such as the magic of dragons, spiritual arts of fairies, curses of the demons and laws of the gods.
Unlike other races, humans turned out to be experts of everything, masters of none, and although this was originally a flaw as humans could never rival other entities in their respective specialties, humans showed their two greatest weapons, creativity and learning.
Weapons that imitate the most complex magic, spells that replicate concepts of the gods, and tricks that could fool demons. Humans showed that the only limit was the imagination.
Magical entities were late in noticing the potential of humanity so, trying to stop the advance of human society, humans attacked the magical beings who were once their brothers.
Thus began the world war between magical beings and humanity.
Though humans were creative and cunning, the combined forces of magical beings were able to crush humanity's efforts.
Alaya saw that humans were in danger and she was desperate, but then she had a stroke of luck, a foreign entity appeared in the world claiming that he was the protagonist of the world and that all women belonged to him.
Alaya deceived the human from another world and turned him into the ultimate weapon to destroy the gods, taking advantage of the fact that the human was immune to the Laws and restrictions of the world in addition to possessing extraordinary abilities that broke any logic.
Alaya not only used the human from another world, but she also showed to have the cunning and audacity of humans so she started making deals with various entities to join her.
Some entities fought to the bitter end while other entities willingly submitted.
The winners took control of the world while the losers were killed.
Since killing high-powered entities as gods or demons will only cause those entities to reincarnate in the future, Alaya made many deals with the gods to gain control of four entities capable of destroying souls, Cerberus, Ortro, Fenrir, and Garm, the called 'Four Dogs of the Apocalypse'.
Although Alaya did not destroy many entities as this would cause problems with the laws of the world, she made the enemy entities receive wounds in their souls so that they could not fight again.
This is how humanity became the dominant race in the world, but this was not enough for Alaya.
After building the barrier, Gaia turned her attention to the world, but it was too late, she had no allies left.
Gaia refused to acknowledge Alaya as the new Will of the World to which Alaya had the four dogs destroy her.
In her final moments, Gaia used her Authority to free the surviving entities of the war so that they would not be turned into Alaya's slaves.
The entities that were marked as rebels were unable to fight as they were injured so they chose to run away and hide as the world began to change.
This is how Alaya became the new Will of the World bringing the Age of Humanity.

(Luis perspective)
5 minutes, I only ask for a few fucking 5 minutes of peace without something absurd happening in my life...
Kon managed to calm down and lay down without moving.
I sighed internally. - "You hate me?"
I am the reincarnation of the entity that left her in that state and killed her daughters so now that she has recovered her memories it would be natural if she hates me.
"No..." - Kon replied in a low voice, although her appearance didn't change at least her voice is now understandable. – "Master is good, master helps my daughters, master is not an enemy…"
My pet doesn't hate me, at least there is good news.
I sighed internally, this is going to be a problem…
There is still information that Kon does not know, such as the reason why the world accepts the entry of foreign entities or why the barrier that protects the world has multiple doors to do business with other factions, but at least now I understand one thing, the Will of the World in Gaia, or rather Alaya, is an idiot who blindly favors humanity since she herself depends on humans to exist.
She even used the name of the previous Will of the World to baptize the world, that's similar to killing a person, making a rug out of her skin, and putting a label on it with her name… How bizarre.
As always, one step at a time...
My priority now is the birth of my daughters, later I will see the other problems.
"Do you want revenge?" – I asked Kon.
I don't want problems, but a pet is part of the family.
Kon shook her head keeping a disturbing smile. – "To live in peace with my daughters and master… I just want peace…"
"I have a wonderful pet, revenge obsessed idiots are a pain in the ass" – I smiled appreciatively at my cute pet.
"Says the man who is obsessed with killing his father..." - System Goddess murmured with irony.
"I'm not obsessed with that" - I sighed. – "I have a feeling that even if I find my father, that idiot will have prepared something that prevents me from killing him and I will have to cooperate with him for a greater benefit… I know it since I would do the same if I was chased by an enemy that I cannot kill"
System Goddess looked at me blankly. – "What kind of man is your father? He sounds like a manipulative asshole"
I smiled wryly. – "Looking at his actions before he disappeared, I am sure that he is the same as me, although instead of someone who gets his hands dirty, he prefers to make others do his work"
System Goddess paled. – "I do not want to face a creature as evil as you…"
I smiled wryly since I consider that a compliment. – "My father is a utilitarian and pragmatic man, if he can obtain benefits then he will cooperate with his biggest enemy without problems"
"Tiger father does not have a dog son..." - System Goddess sighed. – "I am worried that you hate someone so similar to you… Although maybe that is why you hate him"
"It is true that we are similar, but there is a great difference that separates us..." - I shrugged. – "Unlike my father, I am able to feel genuine affection for my wives"
"Because you believe that? Don't you think your father might have some emotional ties that you can take advantage of?" – System Goddess asked me curiously.
I sighed. – "That asshole used my mother as bait and had plans to spite me in case I chose to kill her as soon as I returned to my homeworld"
"…" – System Goddess sighed. – "Now I am sure, I am happy being your wife, lover, or whatever, the multiverse is full of idiots"
I nodded, too many idiots for my liking.
"Hey Listen! If your author is an idiot then you are an idiot too!"
…
Shit.
