Chapter 205: Warm Welcome
I sighed as I looked at the idiot in front of me.
"If you don't redeem your contribution points at this time then it will be difficult for you to exchange them in the future since only a certified agent of our faction can redeem your contribution points" - A beautiful woman with a look of contempt and an arrogant attitude explained to me with dislike.
I smiled politely. – "I understand, but I plan to save my contribution points"
The woman frowned. – "Humans have a short life expectancy so be careful to store your contribution points and never be able to use them"
"Thanks for the advice" - I smiled kindly.
The woman kept frowning until she seemed frustrated at not making me angry so she finally turned around to leave me alone.
I sighed internally, arrogant idiots are a headache…
"Hey Listen! Hit that bitch and show who's the alpha while using your dick to stuff her slutty mouth!" – Navi shouted stupid things in my mind so I ignored him.
I looked at a golden portal from which different low and medium-level entities were coming out.
Each of these entities has the strength to conquer a world at the level of Kenichi's world which was quite impressive.
In a fight with this army, less than 5000 entities among my troops could face this army which is very little considering the millions of troops under Auriel's banner.
Before the Dimensional Gate was completed I made a lot of preparations.
First of all, I had the Inhumans who wished to leave this world migrate to my personal worlds.
The beastkin, demons, witches, spirits, dragons, and semi-intelligent monsters like orcs and goblins decided to follow me without hesitation since they saw me as the king of the non-human races.
Although the war caused a conflict between non-human races and the humans of this world, these races are not hostile towards the humans of my worlds and for them, the humans under my command are decent humans thanks to my policies against racism.
Although the elves still hate me for the overbearing way I took them to my worlds, all the elves chose to follow me since the World Tree in this world was destroyed by humans while the World Fruit was planted in my world Luistopia so in the future that world will begin to develop magical materials.
Some humans also decided to accompany me out of fear since in the eyes of humans I am a psychopathic tyrant so some noble families sent women to me as a form of offering.
While my harem did expand with some nice women who follow me out of admiration and gratitude, it was mostly women who only follow me out of fear so I put them in the category of irrelevant slaves.
Now, this world belongs to the humans since the other intelligent races joined my worlds which increased the passive production of Destiny Energy in my worlds, but at the same time, the overpopulation problems began.
System Goddess prepared various spatial arrays to create special terrains where non-human races can develop without creating cultural conflicts, but in the future, I will need to increase the worlds in my possession.
For now, I am doing experiments in my Rasen Dimension to create habitable planets, but it is very difficult to create a world that is habitable so I will need to improve my mastery of [Rasen] since that energy has the ability to create worlds, something that according to BB is an ability of high-level entities like Beast VII and Auriel.
My personal affairs with my daughters went off without a hitch so after looting a lot of resources from this world I am finally ready to return to Gaia while Auriel's servants manage this world.
The benefits I got from this trip were better than I expected.
Ortro can already be considered a God King since she has her own Mythological Pantheon. This title is given to deities with several subordinate gods and a Divine Ground, examples of this are Zeus and Odin.
The Divine Ground of Ortro is the interior of my Rasen Dimension and her subordinate gods are:
1) Kon. Goddess of Tormented Souls and Misfortune.
Kon became a Goddess again thanks to the elixir that Serafin gave me and she can now change into a human form, but she feels uncomfortable with that form so she stays in her horror movie form.
2) Rushia Uruha. Goddess of Death and Darkness.
Rushia finally accepted her father's legacy, even though she would have been left to be the goddess of Deathmetal...
(Author's Note: Rushia Uruha from Hololive)
3) Coco Kiryu. Dragon Goddess.
Coco wanted to be the goddess of the yakuza but she resigned herself to reality.
(Author's Note: Coco Kiryu from Hololive)
4) Lunaris. Goddess of Evil Spirits.
Lunaris is not strong and is very cowardly, but she is very cunning so she is the overseer so that the other subordinate gods don't cause trouble, especially Coco.
(Author's Note: Lunaris from Nidome no Yuusha. Has the appearance of Nelia from the game Grand Chase)
5) Caladorius. Divine beast.
That bird is basically Ortro's chew toy.
6) Wind God.
The birdman was traumatized after being bitten by Kon so he now blindly follows any command.
7) Water God.
Another irrelevant god that just looks like a body of water, he is useful for watering plants.
8) Earth God.
A mass of land that helps keep crops fertile, he is just living manure.
9) Flare Shiranui. Elves Goddess.
I heard that the goddesses of this world have Japanese names because of the influence of the heroes who visited this world in the past which caused jealousy among the male gods, also that is the reason why the goddesses are beautiful women while the gods are not beings humans.
(Author's Note: Flare Shiranui from Hololive)
10) Fauna Ceres. Life Goddess.
Along with Flare, she was also affected by Japan's culture and joined Coco, Rushia, and Kanata to watch anime... I don't know what to say, they seemed to be fated to be friends...
(Author's Note: Fauna Ceres de Hololive)
11) Nephilia. Magic Goddess.
Apparently, the deity that she was the mother of her perished to give birth to Nephilia since the goddess could not resist the excessive energy of a Higher Entity.
(Author's Note: Nephilia from Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii?)
Nephilia doesn't hate her father for indirectly murdering her mother, but since her father probably belongs to the racist faction, she has already sworn to kill him if I order her.
On the other hand, Nephilia has the potential to become a Higher Entity so being a goddess is only the first step.
With 11 subordinate gods and millions of believers, Ortro can be credited as a full-fledged deity so if I go to a world that favors gods then I can reap great benefits.
In addition to the magical resources, slaves, soldiers, and knowledge I gained from this world, my harem gained outstanding members like BB and the goddesses, and I even managed to establish a working relationship with a powerful entity.
Yes, it was a good trip.
It's hard to calculate my current strength level since I specialize in sneak attacks, but based on Kon's knowledge she calculates that my current power is comparable to Gaia's mid-gods.
In a comparison, Kon said that Zeus can destroy me in a second, but I can defeat Hermes with ease thanks to Ortro's ability to ignore distances.
Yeah, I don't fully understand that comparison either, but at least I know I'm not helpless if I get in trouble with Alaya.
On the plus side, the number of tricks up my sleeve is something even System Goddess classified as cheating.
Leaving aside the fact that I'm a system user, the combination of System Goddess, BB, and Kon's knowledge is enough for Paradise level organizations to covet my secrets so now I just have to gather higher quality materials.
With everything set, I ignored the sneers from the agents of Paradise and prepared to return to Gaia via a space travel circle Auriel sent me as a token of kindness.
In fact, I received several gifts that the idiotic angels had to reluctantly give me, and although several of these items are useless to me since I am a Higher Entity, System Goddess has started refining them to take advantage of high-level materials.
System Goddessdeveloped a refining technique where materials can be constantly reused without damaging quality so that a single elixir to improve life expectancy can be turned into millions of biological-immortality potions...
I'll talk to Mr. Ichijo to establish a valuable alchemy items business, that could improve the prestige of the Ichijo family which will give me more options to fix my problems.
I headed to the travel circle to hide the fact that I can travel whenever I feel like it both because of the system and because of Ancestor Ichijo's legacy.
That ancestor is one like having a system with its own plot armor…
"Is it okay for me to come with you?" – Kanata asked me with concern.
I smiled and took her hand like a big brother walking with his little sister. – "Come on, I will show you the animes that caught your attention so much"
Kanata nodded and made an effort to ignore the scornful looks that the agents of Paradise gave her around us.
Kanata has been authorized to be my personal supervisor on the surface while I keep in touch with Seraph.
The agents of Paradise are furious as in their opinion it is disrespectful for me to request that an entity newly joined Auriel's faction be my supervisor and not a veteran entity.
The interesting thing is that despite the fury these idiots only look at me with disgust and have not tried any dishonest tactics and have given me all my rewards without trying to cheat.
Honest idiots aren't that bad...
When I stood in the circle, the supervising angel sneered at me and snorted disdainfully. – "In the name of our holy lady, I hope you have a good trip…"
Although sarcasm overflowed from his words, the idiot did not pull a dangerous trick and sent me to the spatial coordinates I gave him without leading me into a death trap.
The space fluctuated around us and after a few seconds of watching the space warp, I finally returned to Gaia.
"Ugh, my head" – Kanata clung to my hand to keep from falling, she's bad with dimensional travel.
[System Notification: The requirements of the skill 'Hero's Destiny' have been met. Calculating the level of 'Order' generated during the mission...]
[System Notification: The user can choose one of the following rewards for completing the quest:
- Unique Skill: Spell Without Chant
- Innate trait of a high-level race: Dragon Heart
- Magic Weapon: Anti-God Swords
- Upgrade a random skill]
"Less than a minute…" - Mr. Ichijo's familiar voice sounded full of surprise. – "Boy, it didn't even take you a year to fulfill your mission… You never cease to amaze me"
I looked at the middle-aged man holding a stopwatch with a wry smile.
Mr. Ichijo looked at me with some pride like a father admiring his son's achievements, but he raised an eyebrow at the girl holding my hand.
In order to prevent the invasion of dangerous entities, this place was set up by the ancestor Ichijo so that powerful entities would be restricted with authority similar to the one I received when I became a Territory Administrator.
Kanata is not affected by this as she lacks all hostility, her Karma is positive, she has a soul link with me and her supernatural energy level is as low as an ant.
"Boy, where did you kidnap this girl?" – Mr. Ichijo asked jokingly, but I can tell this man wants an explanation, or I'll be in trouble.
I smiled wryly and took out a gold coin with a pair of angelic wings, this is my identification as Auriel's knight.
Mr. Ichijo looked at the coin and sighed. – "So you joined Paradise… Boy, can't you spend five minutes without doing something flashy?"
I sighed. – "I would like five minutes of peace, but life hates that I have vacations…"
"Let's go eat something while you tell me what happened" - Mr. Ichijo sighed and walked to the exit of the underground room.
Kanata squeezed my hand in concern, this girl is cute when she's shy but her strength is breaking my bones...
I smiled kindly. – "Everything will be fine, just see this place as your new home"
Kanata seemed a bit happy and she wasn't the only one who felt that way.
With the [Reader's Madness] upgrade it's much easier for me to read the deep emotions of other entities so I could see that Mr. Ichijo was happy that I called this place home as it shows that I'm starting to see the Ichijo family as my family.
We left the underground area and headed to the main room to have tea.
Mr. Ichijo made me prepare the tea since all the food I prepare turns into a delicacy that can even make cosmic calamities salivate.
"Even though you were only gone for a minute, I can guess you went through a lot..." Mr. Ichijo drank the tea and sighed. – "… Is it my idea or did your culinary abilities improve?"
The curse on my soul not only suppresses my luck, growth potential, and plot armor, but my innate talents are also restricted so now my cooking abilities are comparable to Deities with the concept of 'Cooking'.
I smiled wryly and poured a cup of tea for Kanata. – "Yes, well… Let's say I got stronger and learned some tricks"
I reached out and used [Mythomania] to make the [Rasen] look like magical energy, then used that energy to form a small sphere that looked like a fireball spell but was actually a miniature sun.
Coco taught me this trick and I must say it's an excellent party trick, plus suns made with [Rasen] don't disappear so I'm creating several of these inside my Rasen Dimension so Shiguma can use them as batteries for her experiments.
Mr. Ichijo looked at the sphere and smiled. – "You learned magic… But to think that you can create a small sun… Damn it boy, I really want to know what you did in that other world…"
Mr. Ichijo clapped his hands and one of his subordinates entered the room with a crate of bottles of different types of alcohol ranging from German beer to Mexican tequila...
The subordinate put down the drink and bowed respectfully before leaving.
"Hey Listen! Yes bitch yes! Ahahahahaha!"
"I finally get to see senpai drunk… Where did I put the camera?!"
"Hey I want to go out and drink yakuza style!"
My mind is noisier since the goddesses now also inhabit my Core of Existence since they want to see what Japan is like...
I sighed internally, I have a bad feeling.
[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' says that objectively this is a good thing or something like that...]
That's so unspecific that now I'm worried.
Mr. Ichijo opened a bottle and poured me a glass of whiskey.
"Come on boy, it's been a long time since we last drank together" – Mr. Ichijo seemed cheerful.
Since Japan's social culture is based on excessive alcohol consumption, I drank several times with this man since being friends with the boss pays off, but that was before I became psychologically weak towards alcohol...
Kanata seemed curious about the drink so I sighed and accepted the drink.
Although whiskey is usually taken slowly and sophisticatedly, we both finished our drinks in one gulp.
"Good boy, men should know how to drink" - Mr. Ichijo smiled and poured more alcohol. – "Now tell me what happened, we have all night"
I sighed and drank my second glass. – "What about Lin Ruoxi's subordinates?"
Mr. Ichijo let out a laugh. – "Boy, you need to relax a bit or you will lose your hair from stress… I already sent my men to escort your wife's subordinates so for now just relax and let's talk like father and son"
… I still can't get used to having a father figure that I don't want to break his face…
Whatever.
So we started drinking while I told my story in the fantasy world...

Author's Note:
There were several women who joined the harem off-camera similarly to the end of the zombie world. I will mention them later when they are relevant.
On another note, thanks to Deimon97 at Pa-Tre- On for suggesting Hagoromo Gitsune from "Nurarihyon no Mago" for Kon's look.
Finally, my keyboard is crashing so sorry if sometimes I eat letters :c
