Chapter 302: Closing the Lostbelt
Chapter 302: Closing the Lostbelt
My sixth sense for stupid problems is warning me that something very annoying is about to happen.
Right now I'm pretending to be so tired that I'm on the verge of death, only Auriel's blessing is supposed to keep me alive.
My supposed final attack not only destroyed Buddha, but also left Qin Shi Huang and the Jade King in a dying this, so this is the end of the Lostbelt.
The problem is that, for a few days, the previously agreed scenario has been changing.
BB is playing some stupid thing and the most troublesome women are cooperating with her.
I have no idea what they're planning, but it's definitely going to be something stupid.
The whole Lostbelt scenario should be finished by now, to close I was supposed to have a moving discussion with Qin Shi Huang about the importance of freedom and democracy, but something very stupid is about to happen.
Aotian appeared next to me and gently held my body.
She has no acting skills and there was a lot of risk of her ruining the stage, so she allowed me to seal her memories and abilities.
She is extremely submissive and devoted, even she is willing to let me manipulate her mind... I don't like her submission, but I can't complain either.
Currently, Aotian can only use 30% of her full power and she doesn't remember how to use her Dao, she also doesn't remember that the entire Lostbelt is a scenario that I prepared.
Even though Aotian has most of her abilities sealed, she is still the strongest woman in my current army, so it is normal that she is the one who came first to help me.
"Husband, you shouldn't have done such a dangerous thing, sacrificing your life to protect a bunch of insignificant ants is foolish as big as the heavens, your life is more valuable than any world" – For the first time since we met, Aotian scolded me for my suicidal actions.
I smiled wryly and kissed her cheek. – "Sure, I will be more careful"
Aotian nodded in relief, she is not the kind of woman who blushes for public displays of affection.
I was about to stand up, but finally, I felt that the stupidity had started.
Even with her sealed abilities, Aotian has overly sensitive instincts. She brought her sword in front of my face which caused a deafening crashing sound.
A tentacle had emerged from the ground and was heading for my face, but it was blocked by my wife.
Aotian doesn't remember that this is Chiyo's ability, so she thinks that an enemy tried to assassinate me.
"Courting death! Heaven and Earth Destroyer Slash!" – Aotian emitted an intense killing intent, her sword was covered with energy and made a cut towards an empty place in space.
Good thing Aotian has most of his power sealed away, or that attack would have cut the planet in half.
The sword slash was about to destroy the empty space, but at that moment, a door lock-shaped Dimensional Door appeared.
That was Abby's exclusive ability, so showing it will mean that Yog-Sothoth is in this World, which would be a big problem.
If Abby is showing that ability, then I think I know what BB's plan is... I hope I'm wrong...
Now that Qin Shi Huang is almost dead, the enemy army lowered their weapons in surrender, they only know how to fight if the emperor is still standing.
Because of this, the entire battlefield was in deep silence, the two armies were too tired and could not continue fighting, it can be said that only Aotian and some cultivators who joined us at the end of the battle had the ability to fight. keep fighting
The presence that came from the Dimensional Door was suffocating as if the physical representation of the apocalypse was about to appear in front of us.
Most of my army does not know the true power of the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods, but all intelligent beings instinctively have an aversion to Madness, so everyone on the battlefield felt a deep sense of fear and discomfort.
BB and the other women were not suppressing their presence, they are showing the suffocating presence of an Exterior God.
People with weak minds began to laugh and cry while using their own fingers to gouge out their eyes.
Thousands of people couldn't bear the stress and took up their weapons to commit suicide.
With each step closer, more people descended into utter insanity, only death could give them peace before falling into rotten despair.
I allowed this since all the women I care about are protected by my [Reader's Madness], furthermore, it will be useful to me if the representatives of foreign factions can report the strength of this enemy to their leaders. As for innocent deaths, the greater good entails sacrifices.
The enemy who had caused a couple of tens of thousands of deaths just by his presence had finally appeared.
"We meet again, Hero" – The plague doctor had appeared from the Dimensional Gate.
Before the Lostbelt, Seraph told me that Paradise recognized the plague doctor as a dangerous target, there was even a bounty on his head. As a manhunt target, he has codenamed Dr. Madness, an exaggerated name, but it works.
I gritted my teeth and pretended to be furious as if I recognized a hated enemy.
The people from the Vatican, spies from other countries, surviving magicians, and Yui noticed this despite the distance.
From now on I'll have to use [Mythomania] on my every word and action to avoid lie detection skills, how troublesome.
Aotian still doesn't understand what's going on, she only knows that Dr. Madness tried to kill me, so he is an enemy.
Aotian stood up in front of me while concentrating her energy on her sword, she may feel that the enemy is too dangerous and she is willing to risk her life in order to protect me. Later I'm going to pamper her a bit.
Dr. Madness shook his head in denial. – "Irrational and impulsive woman, I don't have time to deal with such an irrational creature, I just want to check something with that Hero…"
"Nine Heavens Fate Division!"
Shit.
Aotian had sacrificed some of her life energy to perform an attack higher than her current energy limit, it even caused the seal on her abilities to crack a bit.
Aotian's attack generated a golden sword the size of a building, and that sword headed toward Dr. Madness.
Dr. Madness raised his right arm to form a Dimension Gate to absorb the attack, but this time his right arm trembled as if his bones had been broken.
"Brainless creatures are the most troublesome" – Dr. Madness sighed in annoyance, then moved his left hand to draw a vertical line in the air.
Aotian swung his sword into the air even though no attack was visible, but that move caused a huge explosion to shake the entire place, it was as if two nuclear bombs had collided with each other.
What Dr. Madness did was use Abby's main attack skill, a spatial cut that teleports the matter that is cut to another region of the multiverse.
That is the skill that Abby uses to incapacitate the Higher Entities, she cannot destroy souls so she uses this attack so that the entity cannot regenerate or rebuild itself, the entity will become a puzzle and its pieces will be distributed throughout the multiverse.
That attack is not just dividing space, but creating a dimension that absorbs matter and energy. When Aotian destroyed that ability, it was the same as destroying an entire pocket dimension, which is why there was a huge explosion.
"Not bad... But it's not enough" – Dr. Madness sighed and moved his right hand.
A gigantic tentacle, as big as an island, emerged from the ground.
Aotian frowned. Because her power is sealed, her power reserve is very limited and at this rate, she will run out of power.
The tentacle rose like a tower, then came down toward us to crush us.
I'm still pretending that I'm extremely tired, so I can't attack the tentacle, but that wasn't necessary, a certain person had decided to stop watching to help us.
A blue sword slash lit up the sky and managed to cut through the tentacle.
In the sky was floating a beautiful woman in the white clothes of an immortal cultivator.
The woman was quite beautiful, and the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth made her look like a brave warrior.
She was Gu Yan'er, one of the heroines of Returning from the Immortal World, a disciple of Tang Xiu, and the adoptive sister of System Goddess.
She's a Higher Entity so she won't be attracted to me even if I have Tang Xiu's plot armor. Because of that, I had to set up some scenarios to get her heart without relying on plot armor.
During the Lostbelt, I woke up the 'Chaos Madness' spiders that I put into Tang Xiu's mind, this made the protagonist go crazy with power and the pain of being betrayed by his wife.
He joined Emperor Qin on the condition of obtaining resources to be a powerful cultivator, he also demanded to find the woman who was the reincarnation of his dead wife so that he could torture her soul for thousands of years.
Honestly, the development of that subplot was boring and repetitive, it can be summed up as that I found the reincarnation of Tang Xiu's wife, then I fought against Tan Xiu to protect the traitorous woman.
When the Lostbelt activated, Gu Yan'er was trapped within this artificial world. She was badly injured, but she could sense Tang Xiu's presence so she forced her soul to wake up, even if it caused her power to deteriorate to the point that she has 2 months remaining conscious, after that time, her energy will dissipate and her mind will enter eternal sleep.
Tang Xiu's mind had been consumed by Haachama's Madness, he thought that his disciple was also a traitor so he tried to kill her when he saw her.
Gu Yan'er was deeply hurt seeing that her teacher had turned into a monster that killed innocent people to consume their soul energy, the pain was even greater when she heard her teacher call her a harlot while trying to assassinate her.
Gu Yan'er fell into despair and was unable to fight, she only stood still to accept death.
At the last moment, I saved her life, then tried to heal her wounds, but she was very stubborn and she said that only Tang Xiu was allowed to touch her body.
System Goddess had to go out to talk to her stepsister and so she managed to calm her down, she also offered her medicinal pills.
Gu Yan'er and System Goddess tried to talk Tang Xiu back to sanity, but he was completely blinded by 'Chaos Madness'.
Tang Xiu tried to kill System Goddess so the most logical thing happened, I killed him.
System Goddess pretended to be sad to see her teacher/stepfather dead, but she thanked me for saving her, a totally different reaction from Gu Yan'er. She went crazy and tried to kill me.
Even if Tang Xiu had gone berserk, Gu Yan'er still loved him.
After a very long battle and a touching talk between the sisters, Gu Yan'er was able to accept that Tang Xiu was no longer the same man she loved and that the best option was to kill him, but she still hated me because I dismembered Tang Xiu in front of her.
Gu Yan'er didn't let me heal all of her injuries, she immediately went to meditate in a hidden pagoda under the sea and offered no help for the rest of the Lostbelt.
During my battle with Buddha, Gu Yan'er had been watching me from a distance, she seemed to be in an internal conflict between her desire to kill me and her desire to help me.
When Dr. Madness appeared, she decided to help me. She still wants to kill me, but at the same time, she feels deep gratitude towards me for saving her life and healing most of her injuries.
In terms of strength, she is much weaker than Aotian, it's like comparing an elephant to a squirrel, but still, she is stronger than most of the gods on Gaia.
The problem is that Aotian is focusing too much energy on her sword.
The damage to her vitality is easy to recover with the medicines made by System Goddess or my skill [Hero's Martyrdom], but at this rate, Aotian is going to fight seriously which would not only destroy the Losbtelt, it might even cause great destruction in Gaia.
I smiled gratefully at the woman who was ignoring me. - "Thanks for the help"
"…" – Gu Yan'er snorted disdainfully. – "Concentrate on recovering your strength, the enemy is not simple"
I sighed with fake disappointment and nodded.
I started to pray quietly to increase the power of Auriel's blessing, my sister would faint if she heard me pray.
"Two Higher Entities…" – Dr. Madness's face is covered by the plague mask, but his genderless voice showed curiosity. – "If I'm not mistaken, she is the daughter of the Dragon Emperor... Hero, your ability to gather outstanding entities is impressive."
BB… that woman loves to cause me trouble.
"The Dragon Emperor's daughter?!" - Gu Yan'er reacted as expected.
Now the entire multiverse will know that the woman with the greatest potential among cultivators is my wife…
[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' says that there is a 100% chance that the top young masters of the Eternal Heaven Immortal will want to assassinate the user]
BB!
Dammit.
Aotian showed no interest in her identity being exposed, she just wants to kill the enemy who tried to harm me.
Dr. Madness's right hand grew like a balloon about to burst. – "Hero, I wish to see that power, the power to stabilize Madness…"
I activated the mental link with BB. – "Do you know the trouble this will bring?!"
Damn BB!
BB responded immediately. – "*Smiling emoji* Tehee~"
…I'm going to hit that damn girl's ass…
"Eat head?" – Ortro asked curiously.
"Just chew her legs" - I answered with annoyance, this will bring disaster.
Dr. Madness's arm became the size of a football stadium, cracks began to cover it as the sound of countless insects made people's ears itch.
I turned to my wives and army several kilometers away then yelled loud enough for them to hear me. – "Activate all barriers!"
Dr. Madness's arm was a nest of spiders, when the arm finally stopped growing it exploded which released an ocean of black spiders, those were the physical representation of the 'Chaos Madness' that Haachama uses.
The 'Chaos Madness' does not have as much destructive power as the 'Arsonist's Madness', but it is the most infectious Madness, it even has a higher mental contamination capacity than my [Reader's Madness].
Gu Yan'er descended from the sky and stood in front of me, then cast several talismans to make a defensive spirit formation.
She collaborated with Aotian to create a protective barrier that could withstand the spiritual corruption of the spiders, but the barrier began to break as soon as the spiders impacted the barrier.
The ocean of spiders moved at high speed, the soldiers closest to us were consumed by the spiders which entered through their mouths, ears, and eye sockets.
The spiders were not devouring the bodies of the soldiers but rather began to pollute the minds and bodies of the soldiers.
Gigantic spider legs emerged from the soldiers' backs, their faces deformed into masses of flesh with thousands of eyes and mouths, their human limbs now scaled and feathered claws.
When a soldier was infected by spiders, he would turn into a formless creature that could only be seen in a drug addict's most bizarre nightmares.
Each monster was different, but they were all violent, savage, and hungry for human flesh.
Each infected was becoming an embodiment of his own fears, obsessions, and desires. Those afraid of bugs now had roach limbs, those afraid of the dark were now masses of toothy shadows, and those afraid of pain became mountains of flesh covered in barbed wire. It was a disgusting sight.
Haachama's power was being boosted by the Rasen and Madness paths of BB, Chiyo, Abby, and Kuuko.
I'm really going to punish those troublesome girls...
I sighed internally, I already understand what those girls want to do, and it will be a big bother, although I admit that it will bring me a lot of benefits.
I stood up and covered my body with [Anti-Rasen].
"Husband, you need to rest" – Aotian tried to stop me, but I quickly released the energy that covered me.
Hundreds of purple chains came out of my body and covered the ocean of spiders.
The spiders and people who were infected by the Madness stood completely still, then closed their eyes and began to sleep, even the beings without eyes and mouths stopped moving and made snoring sounds.
In the eyes of most people, my power was a strong sleeping pill, but people of higher knowledge were able to see the truth.
My power could affect the basic nature of the Madness, the chains had stabilized the chaos within the Madness.
It was a process similar to the way antipsychotic drugs suppress hallucinations in a schizophrenic.
Madness is the materialization of chaos, suffering, insanity, and other chaotic forces.
The reason why Madness is such an aggressive energy is that the user of this energy is in a constant state of suffering and pain caused by their own power. The entities that suffer the most from Madness are the Outer Gods.
My [Anti-Rasen] had made the spiders no longer have the urge to destroy and corrupt, now they just wanted to rest, which is strange because those spiders don't have a mind of their own, but well, Madness is meaningless.
I fell to my knees as I struggled for breath, pretending that using this power was extremely exhausting for me.
Although the chains were not directly connected to my body, it was obvious that the materialization of the chains depended on my strength, and if I run out of energy, then the chains will disappear and the spiders will awaken.
Aotian held me very carefully as her gaze filled with worry, I almost feel guilty for causing her so much worry, just almost.
"Impressive… You can really stabilize Madness…" – Dr. Madness applauded like a teacher congratulating a student. – "I want to know how you do it… I need to study your body in my laboratory…"
Thousands of Dimensional Gates surrounded us. At each Gate, a red eye could be seen, staring at us with intense possessive desire.
Abby is letting herself go...
As if that wasn't trouble enough, hundreds of giant tentacles emerged from the ground until the world seemed to be made of tentacles.
Chiyo is also getting carried away…
I think BB used one of her skills to make the other girls lose their self-control, she really wants to force me to show the most of my power.
I sent a message to the girls. – "I don't know what you are thinking, but if you continue like this, I am really going to punish you…"
"*Smiling emoji*" – BB…
At least one person isn't such a jerk and knows when to draw a line.
When Dr. Madness was about to speak again, a person appeared behind him.
Dr. Madness noticed this and formed a Dimension Gate to protect his back, but the enemy's fist was able to overcome Abby's strength.
"Serious punch!" – The Harem King had an expression of extreme fury, there was even a flash of red light in his eyes.
Why red light? Is it some fashion? Whatever.
The Dimensional Gate was able to absorb most of the blow, but the Harem King's fist was able to break the Gate and hit Dr. Madness's back.
Dr. Madness was thrown into the air while his body filled with cracks like glass about to break, but thousands of tiny spider legs emerged from those cracks and closed the cracks.
Dr. Madness's body began to regenerate, but he didn't have time to levitate into the air as the Harem King appeared above his head.
In the Harem King's right hand was a blue sphere which he used to attack the doctor's head. – "Rasengan!"
The doctor's body hit the ground, which made the entire planet tremble.
I sent a message to Nyaruko. – "Idiot, do not destroy the planet…"
"Ahem, sorry" – Nyaruko replied awkwardly.
"Whatever, what the hell are you doing?" - I sighed internally tiredly.
"It's a surprise~" – Nyaruko answered happily.
…
"Fine, just this once I'll let you girls play, but you'll be grounded for ten years if this problem gets out of hand" – I resisted the urge to massage my forehead.
"Don't worry, just enjoy the show~" – Nyaruko was having fun.
I sighed and decided to watch for now.
[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' has a rough idea about the plan of the Outer Gods]
I can already imagine what those fools are doing, but thank you.
As I thought, Nyaruko started fighting with Dr. Madness with attacks that made the entire planet shake.
The Laws of the Lotbelt made this fake planet more resistant than the real planet Earth, but that was not enough to withstand the attacks of both entities.
Harem King and Dr. Madness were holding their forces back from destroying the entire Lostbelt and China by mistake, but that didn't stop them from destroying two-thirds of the planet.
This level of destruction will take its toll on Gaia.
When the Lostbelt disappears, the accumulated vibrations will cause multiple earthquakes throughout the planet which will cause discussions with the governments of the world. How troublesome.
The destruction was such that the dying Qin Shi Huang used his last trace of life to protect the survivors of the Lostbelt, he had realized that these two monsters threatened the survival of humanity, and although he was a merciless dictator, he continued to wish the prosperity of the human race.
Luo De appeared alongside the Raksasha Sect members and they used various spirit formations to protect the survivors.
Qin Shi Huang's group, the Raksasha Sect, and my army joined forces to resist the collateral damage caused by the two system users' attacks.
Now everyone will know that the Harem King and Dr. Madness possess the strength to be called great Higher Entities, maybe not at the level of monsters like Nyarlathotep, but both have enough strength to threaten mid-level worlds without the help of large armies.
I soaked up the bulk of the attacks so now I'll be seen as the best wall of meat in the multiverse instead of the strongest Hero.
Well, whatever, I'd rather be famous for being a shield than a sword.
It seems that BB's plan is to create great fame for the two system users, at the same time, create fame for the Hero of Harmony.
If I'm not mistaken, BB plans to make the Harem King accepted as a valuable entity to protect other worlds, allowing him to walk by my side on any world I travel to in my Hero identity.
She wants to make Nyaruko able to 100% use the identity of the Harem King, not only that, she wants to create fake identities for every Great Old One and Outer God. That way we can move as a group without raising the suspicions of large organizations.
Possibly she wants to give the illusion that Dr. Madness is a disguise worn by Yog-Sothoth, Hastur, Cthylla, and Cthugha who now work as a team.
In the future, it will be revealed that the Harem King is actually Nyarlathotep, but by then, we will already have enough allies to allow us to go against the rest of the multiverse...
It's a good plan, although it will bring me a lot of headaches.
There is only one thing that annoys me, Nyaruko is saying too many stupid things out loud.
"You will not touch Luis!" – The Harem King yelled with extreme fury as he faced the doctor.
"Interesting... Your gaze shows romantic affection for the Hero... I didn't think that the so-called Harem King would have homosexual tendencies" – Dr. Madness spoke while continuing to invoke Dimensional Gates to create space storms to attack the system user.
In the distance I can see that several of my wives are looking at me strangely, now they think that a homosexual fell in love with me... What a nuisance.
I've said it many times, I understand that Nyaruko is actually a pretty girl, but seeing a man blush for me is giving me severe nervous gastritis problems.
"S-shut up idiot! I am a woman!" – The Harem King blushed as she yelled with hate.
"… Woman?" – Dr. Madness froze in surprise, but this allowed the Harem King to hit him in the face.
"Falcon Punch!" – The King of the Harem hit hard to hide her blush.
The Harem King was showing mastery in combat, but her impulsive attitude made her predictable.
Dr. Madness dodged a punch to his face and raised his right hand to the Harem King's right shoulder.
The system user's right arm disappeared, but she didn't have time to be surprised as a tentacle came out of the air and hit her abdomen.
The Harem King was thrown like a baseball and landed in front of us.
Aotian was about to attack the Harem King, but I stopped her.
I showed that some of my power had recovered so I summoned the chainsaw sword.
I approached the Harem King and looked at her stupid expression.
"Hello friend…" – The Harem King smiled when she saw me. – "Hey, I know I didn't tell you many things, but your look while you hold that thing is starting to scare me…"
I sighed and held out my hand. – "Later we have to talk, for now, stand up and let's hit that idiot"
"Yay! Luis doesn't hate me!" – The Harem King smiled and held my hand with joy, I just wish she wouldn't blush.
"So the idiots will fight together…" – Dr. Madness sighed. – "It seems that I will not be able to obtain a good laboratory rat… Well, it doesn't matter… I had fun with this place… This artificial dimension is very interesting, the entity that created this place is very cunning, a very interesting method to plan a world invasion …"
I frowned. – "Do you know what this place is?"
Dr. Madness inclined his head. – "Of course I know, any idiot with a single neuron would know… But I don't have to explain it to you"
I showed anger and clenched the hilt of the sword. – "Aotian, Gu Yan'er, you will focus on defense, the idiot and I will be the attackers"
Gu Yan'er snorted in disgust upon receiving my orders, but nodded, she understands the danger of this situation.
The atmosphere became very tense.
Four mighty warriors would face an unknown enemy while the rest of the Lostbelt's inhabitants struggled not to die from collateral damage.
Ignoring the seriousness of the environment, Dr. Madness sighed and a Dimensional Gate appeared behind him. – "Hero, you are a valuable sample for my research, in the future, I will come to harvest you so don't die…"
"Wait!" – I rushed towards the Dimensional Door, but the doctor quickly disappeared, my sword only cut through the air without damaging the enemy.
Only one arm was left on the ground, it was the limb of the Harem King.
"I think he doesn't want to be our enemy" – The Harem King appeared next to me and picked up her arm from the ground to place it in her place. – "Oh well, problem solved, how about we go to the movies? I want to see a horror movie"
I sighed and fell back.
"Are you okay?" – The King of the Harem looked at me with concern.
"I'm just tired" - I sighed. - "I need vacations…"
Several people approached me.
"We won?" – Revy used her new angeloid wings to get to my side.
"I think so" - I sighed with relief.
"Good" – Revy smiled and used her foot to poke my cheek. – "You look like shit, you need a vacation"
I sighed. – "I am alive, that is already a victory"
More women came up and jumped up to hug me even though I obviously need to rest.
"Luis!" – Yui hugged me while her eyes had tears of joy.
I smiled and stroked her hair. – "Now everything will be fine…"
The Madness spiders had disappeared when Dr. Madness left, so there were no enemies left.
As for the people who were infected by the spiders, they turned into mummies with no trace of life.
Some agents from other countries snuck out to steal some corpses, to take them back to their countries to investigate the Madness. Idiots being idiots.
Finally, this is the end.
As the survivors celebrated, the sky above us had begun to fragment and disappear.
Qin Shi Huang had destroyed his own body and soul to protect the people trapped in the Lostbelt. He was an overbearing tyrant, but his love for humanity was genuine.
It's a shame to let him die since he would have been a good pawn, but I only have time to protect female Servants, I don't care about men.
My wives were hugging me with joy as they think we just got over an apocalypse.
I enjoyed this small moment of peace since, when I return to China, I will have to solve many bureaucratic problems…
Damn politics, it was the worst invention of humanity.
When I return to Japan, I will take a vacation.
"Hey Listen! Now the R18 chapters follow! The degenerates reading this crap need fanservice!"
….
