”Now that weʼre finally done with formal introductions and the like, itʼs time to address what has happened in these last weeks,” said my father. ”Medea, your report?”

”Ah, yes, I deeply apologize, master. I was wounded on my confrontation against the kid holding the cosmic power you desire. It wasnʼt for them though, that I was wounded, but against those that protect them,” Medea sighed. ”Luckily, I had only sent familiars to fight and capture that boy, but my plans ended in failure. At the last moment, the Tokyo Trinity appeared.”

”The Tokyo Trinity…?!”

”All of them at once, Medea?”

”I canʼt believe it, those never step out of their territory, donʼt they?”

”Is that kid so important for them?!”

The group became restless as Medea explained what happened… I see, so she tried to go after Frank, despite me telling my dad I was going to take care of that myself!

Itʼs a good thing they came out victorious at the end, but it frustrates me that heʼs still stubborn about going after him, itʼs not like he needs more power anyway, why canʼt he be content with what we already have?

”I see…” My mother sighed, remaining in silence. ”The Tokyo Trinity is truly troublesome. Unlike the Gods, confined to their Divine Realms, theyʼre technically mortals, capable of roaming the surface and the world anywhere. Although you lost, you gathered a lot of valuable information, I assume.”

”Yes, I did…” Medea started explaining how the battle went, as I finally learned more about Frank and what he has been doing, aside from facing the challenges I and my wives fabricated, which are on standby for him to find.

I learned quite a lot of things actually, from Elfinaʼs group being brainwashed by Medea and then freed by Frank, to awaken them their powers, and even their equipment as if they were egos!

Elfina also had in her possession White and Black, so thatʼs where they were! Should I quickly take them back or… No, itʼs better if they protect her for now.

The strange and intriguing thing are the equipment… Fiereʼs Blazing Bow and Solʼs Armor and Divine Sunshine Blade, all of them are now connected to their Souls like special equipment, egos.

I would guess that Elfina influenced them in some way through this… Her ability to summon, after all, is a Trait that she developed as the only person in Grand Terra to inherit the power of the Origin World Fragment of that world. Her ability to summon is incredible and absolute, and she exudes the divinity and its dao.

Perhaps through my own connection to her, this power of hers had only continued evolving, and even though she had been fully absorbed by this world with her friends, those old memories must linger deep within her soul.

She seemed to be fine to me, so I didnʼt want to intervene until I could solve Frankʼs issue, but if things are getting this far, I might have to do it. Working in this family feels like being a double agent for them in a way, I have to be careful not to be suspicious either.

Also Frank apparently went through a strange transformation, gaining a ”Wrathful Heart” and Medea described he held a fragment of the Sin of Wrath inside of him…

He did once mention to me this power too, which he awakened when Wasp killed his family to fight back and then escape with his sister.

To think he awakened it again, and triggered by the death of one of Whiteʼs Replicas he created with his Weapon Projection Ability…

I suppose it wasnʼt just that, but his desperate desire to protect his friends… Honestly, I am torn between being happy he was able to continue to evolve, and also angry he went through so much suffering.

I healed Medea and all, but maybe she did deserve that wound to stay there for a bit longer, which, after I learned, was done by Amaterasuʼs brother, Susanoo, one of the strongest Kami of Japan, well known for his incredible swordsmanship, probably the best swordsman in the entire country, a master that had ascended to the divine level with his katana.

Now, that boosted with cosmic power through his incarnation in this parallel world… and heʼs suddenly looking really threatening. I would rather not have the Kami of Japan as enemies, honestly. Theyʼre only protecting their country.

”I even summoned one of my Demon Masters, Lord Buer, but he was ultimately defeated by the Trinity, that damned dog…” Medea muttered angrily. ”He was the most unexpected powerhouse! We must not look down on the werewolves, especially their leader! He has divine power akin to a God as well, heʼs perhaps the only Werewolf that has ascended to such a divine level… he was simply on another realm entirely.”

”The Werewolf Clan Leader, Beowulf…” Fatherʼs eyes squinted. ”Hm, I see… Weʼve been underestimating those wolves for too long, but perhaps we were wrong. If he was even able to defeat a powerful Demon Duke, then heʼs certainly at the level of gods. The Vampire Queen as well as the Great Ancestor of the Amaterasu Clan too… The Powerful Tokyo Trinity, the guardians of this city and the biggest obstacles to our plans…”

”Father, if I may ask a question…” I said.

”Yes?” He asked.

”What exactly are our plans?” I asked.

”…”

”…”

”…”

”…”

The other members all looked at me with surprise, well, I was honest here, I had no idea what plans they had other than to take over land and resources.

”I suppose we have not explained these things properly to the young lady, master,” an tall, slender man with long gray hair, wearing a monocle spoke. ”Hello ojou-sama, do you happen to remember me?”

”Ah, youʼre… That crazy scientist,” I said. ”Right?”

”Hahah… I-I am well known like that out there, yes, I am Doctor Frankenstein, we only met briefly back then when you were a child,” he said with a kind smile. ”I am one of your fatherʼs most trusted artificers.”

”He is not only good at creating, repairing, unsealing, and evolving relics, but heʼs also an excellent medic, the best one we have, he applies necromancy and science together,” my father explained.

”Oh wow, thatʼs amazing!” I said with a nod.

”Hahaha, you two are flattering me…” he laughed with some humility.
