”So anyway, about that dungeon world, it creates a parallel version of yourself when you enter. However, there seem to be some limits, I believe. Although Iʼm not sure why they didnʼt apply to Noah, who is definitely incredibly strong, stronger than me. Perhaps the Dungeon is being managed by something or someone, and that Will decides what comes in and out,” I explained to them.

”I believe the Sun God was actually stopped from entering in his current form and power, so he was forced to divide himself into fragments. Also, because he couldnʼt merge with the world properly, he was unable to generate a parallel version of himself and instead seemed to have possessed a young vessel, which heʼs now assimilating with each fragment he absorbs,” I said.

”Are you kidding me? That damn bastard really has no qualms, huh?” Lilith asked angrily, tearing a piece of bread with her sharp dragon fangs. ”So what even is his goal?”

”Yeah, I want to know that myself too...” Redgaria nodded. ”I wanted to just relax and spend the rest of my days with my sister here, but I guess I really cannot. Youʼre simply too irresponsible. Like a child, you always need someone to take care of your mess.”

”Hah?! Who do you think youʼre talking about, you damn necromancer old man...!” I groaned angrily but then calmed down once I realized I was surrounded by my kids and still carrying Jeanne on my lap.

Iʼd better act dignified if possible.

”Ahem, anyway, Iʼll let that slide because youʼre my friend...” I muttered. ”His goal? He said he wanted that world all for himself. Because itʼs using Frank and whatever else to fuel its own creation, it contains immense quantities of Cosmic Energy. That Dungeon World is definitely not just some normal planet. Everything is elevated to Cosmic Levels of strength. For example, an average powerful fighter from my organization with a decent rank is probably at Star Realm. Veterans should go beyond that, and my father is... heʼs stronger than me.”

”Stronger?!” Scarlet gasped. ”No way, mama... But youʼre the strongest...”

”Haha, not always. I try my best, but thereʼs always a bigger fish out there. But arenʼt you happy itʼs at least your grandpa?” I giggled.

”Oooh... I want to meet my grandpa now!” Scarlet said with a nod. ”Mama, what do you think?”

”I suppose so...” Nesiphae sighed. ”But what about Amiphossia?”

”And Ryo?” Zehe asked.

”Donʼt worry, Iʼve already located where they are,” I explained. ”And weʼll find them in the coming days. I also gained the right to go there after I beat down fatherʼs trinity.”

”Trinity?” Nanako asked. ”In that world, you belong to an organization called the Chaos Gate, right, dear? Then that place has a trinity? You beat them? I imagined they would be stronger...”

”They are very strong,” I nodded. ”All of them should be surpassing Star Realm, but even then, as I fought them and beat them, they never really went for the kill, so I canʼt say for sure just how much they were holding back. I guess they feared my father would retaliate angrily if they actually hurt me badly. But they definitely didnʼt want to let me win. I still won anyway.”

”I see! What are their names? I am quite intrigued... nobody else is?” Nanako wondered, her eyes looking slightly shy and nervous.

”Well, yeah, I think we all are. Itʼs really interesting!” Nephiana nodded. ”All my chicks are also interested, right, boys and girls?”

”Yep, yep...”

”I wanna go there, but I donʼt want a new family...”

”Me neither...”

”Canʼt we go without getting the family stuff?”

”Honestly, itʼs confusing...” Ocypete commented. ”I donʼt really know what to think of this... but itʼs a bit interesting, heheh...”

”Honestly, it has been a while since weʼve been anywhere outside of this big realm,” Smilkas said. ”It could be refreshing to go, donʼt you think?”

”Hmph, Iʼm fine in this forest with my Fairy Clan,” Nereid said, grumpily crossing her arms. ”And well, not like we want to bother Kireina too much... Youʼre busy all the time.”

”Hm,” Kjata nodded silently. ”We donʼt want to bother master.”

”Aw, youʼre not bothering anybody! I think I can summon you as actual Spirits,” I said. ”I was thinking about something too. Youʼre my wives but also my Elemental Spirits I contracted a while ago. Perhaps if I combine or evolve the original skills you came from and turn them into something at a cosmic level, I could really give you an amazing upgrade.”

”We already got a big one anyway...” Smilkas said. ”We are all cosmic spirits...”

”Yeah, but you can always go even further, donʼt you think?” I smiled.

”Aah, I want!” Kjata nodded.

”Kjata?! I didnʼt expect you to be the most eager...” Nereid sighed.

”I guess I could go for it?” Ocypete wondered.

”Why not? Right, girls?” Smilkas giggled.

”Alright then, itʼs decided,” I nodded. ”Iʼll get to it once this meeting is done, so come back to me when itʼs over. Now, letʼs continue with what we were talking about before. My current goal is to find the people who are missing. Iʼll secure Amiphossia and Ryo first, and I believe Oga is probably very close to them too, somewhere. Oh, right, Amiphossiaʼs husband must be there too, Evan. Their child is still inside the egg, huh?”

”Yeah, I am taking good care of our grandchild, but indeed... it is very odd how long it has taken to hatch,” Nesiphae sighed. ”Itʼs truly ready to hatch, but thereʼs also a constant surge of energies from within, and they have been evolving over time as it bathes in the sunlight. But above all, it seems to be waiting for something... their parents. The child wants them back, and then itʼll hatch.”

”Is that so? Then even more reason to hurry up,” I nodded. ”The Sun Godʼs a threat, but we were able to handle him, and the bastard ran away. I wanted to give chase, but my father stopped me before I could catch him, saying I was being lured into causing destruction in the city, so I ended up not pursuing him. Did I do wrong?”

”Not at all, given the circumstances of where we are right now,” Zehe said.
