'Unlike last time, I shouldn't catch Mittelt off guard about my imminent departure'
Sanguinius was now heading to his quarters to rest.
He wasn't really physically tired, but his mind was exhausted after checking all the details of Cortana's "body."
"A comfortable bed ~"
In his underworld base, Sanguinius had made decent beds for himself and Mittelt.
However, their quality wasn't as good as these ones due to the lack of materials at the time.
Of course, Sanguinius had also improved with his hands
After a short refreshing nap, he didn't hesitate to contact Ogre and Kazuma in the group chat.
[The false light of Baal: boss, I need help!!!]
Sanguinius didn't consider Kazuma as the real leader, but it cost him nothing to flatter his ego a bit.
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): dude, if you need help, then how could I even help you??]
Kazuma had already seen what Sanguinius was capable of. Thus, he didn't really see himself as very useful as combat power.
[The false light of Baal: no no, I'm not talking about combat-related help.]
[The false light of Baal: I need to improve my magic system to demolish a magician close to divine level, and I remembered seeing magical stuff in your world's shop.]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): oh I understand better now, but I have serious doubts about my safety....]
As expected, Kazuma wasn't stupid enough to summon a fallen angel capable of eliminating a group of heroes better organized than his own.
Yet, Sanguinius had to go to the Konosuba universe to accelerate his evolution.
[The false light of Baal: I'm hurt that you don't trust me.]
[The false light of Baal has sent three items to Kazuma.]
[The false light of Baal: is that enough to put you at ease?]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): ... What? Me? Uncomfortable?]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): haha, good joke.]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): You're an extremely close friend to me along with Ryu, I can't decently turn my back on you.]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): just give me a sign and I'll summon you....]
'As expected, Kazuma just needed a little motivation to silence his brain.'
Sanguinius had given Kazuma two things capable of moving the heart of a Japanese teenager... and a magic contract.
Surely, you're wondering what can move a Japanese teenager like Kazuma?
An explanation on light magic, specifically that of invisibility, and a simple basic hypnosis magic.
Normally, a sufficiently trained warrior could notice Kazuma without effort, and a beginner mage could easily resist the hypnosis, but...
'I'll have to pray for the ordinary women of this universe.'
Sanguinius had literally just converted Kazuma from an ecchi protagonist to an H protagonist, out of necessity.
His only mental consolation was the ineffectiveness of his magic on Kazuma's team itself.
For example, hypnosis would be ineffective because of Darkness's strong perverse will and Aqua's archpriestess class, or the passive mental resistance of mages like Megumin.
As for the magic contract, it was just a way to reassure Kazuma about his goodwill.
He really didn't intend to harm him
He really didn't intend to harm him.
[The false light of Baal: Ogre!!!]
Unlike the method used to negotiate with Kazuma, he had preferred a more direct approach with the first dragon of The God of High School universe.
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): You really need her too? And how do you know her name?]
Sanguinius had indeed never met Ogre personally, nor exchanged formal introductions.
This bold act was solely aimed at attracting the attention of this ancient creature.
[I am just THE dragon: I observed how you manipulated the stupid human, but I didn't think you would dare to try the same game with me.]
Unlike her usual attitude—passive, even indifferent—Ogre seemed tense this time, almost antipathetic.
The war must really be raging, at this point, in The God of High School universe...
Gods against dragons.
A long war, whose impact was mentioned in the manhwa.
[The false light of Baal: Aren't you curious to know how I knew your name?]
[I am just THE dragon: ... Explain yourself. But I advise against coming to my world... you're still too weak.]
After a short pause, Ogre finally showed interest.
'She's really too kind for her own good'
Sanguinius smiled reading her warning, but he also felt pity for her
[The Guillotine: Lord Sanguinius, you seem to be preparing something again.]
[The Guillotine: May I join you?]
[The false light of Baal: No. You already have your own quest, don't you?]
[The Guillotine: ... Ok.]
[The false light of Baal: Regarding your case, Ogre, just remember one important thing.]
[The false light of Baal: My gift of prophecy is accurate. It's thanks to it that I know your name... and that of your mother: Gaia.]
[I am just THE dragon: A prophecy? Interesting... If you know my mother, then maybe you're not lying completely.]
'As expected from Ogre, she didn't entirely swallow my lies.'
Sanguinius knew well that he couldn't completely fool a creature like her. But he now had to get something interesting out of this exchange.
If he failed here, his future negotiations with Ogre would be compromised.
[The false light of Baal: I need two objects in your world. In exchange, I'll reveal your future... no, your role in the prophecy. And your tragedy.]
[I am just THE dragon: You speak as if the dice were already cast. Really ridiculous... but fine.]
[I am just THE dragon: I "Ogre", daughter of Gaia, promise to deliver the requested objects if it doesn't violate my principles or exceed my capabilities.]
[I am just THE dragon: Now speak, fallen angel!!!]
[The false light of Baal: You will die, Ogre. But not by the hands of the gods...]
[The redheaded Empress: What?!]
[The man stuck in the Rocky Mountains: ... ok, this guy just dropped a bomb.]
[Random soldier from Cadia: Tss, how can you all be so gullible here.]
[Random soldier from Cadia: This heretic is lying. It's in their nature. But go ahead, xeno.]
[Random soldier from Cadia: I look forward to your soul being stolen because of your naivety.]
But as always, no one paid attention to "Random soldier from Cadia" because of an unspoken rule in the chat:
[Unwritten rule #1: the space racist always exaggerates and is rarely "if ever" right.]
Thus, Sanguinius was able to explain to Ogre the prophecy concerning the former human named Tathagata and the supreme god Maitreya.
He also mentioned the betrayal of her brothers and sisters.
[The false light of Baal: If you don't end up as a corpse... or later as a living weapon for Gaia's next son, then you can always come kill me.]
Simple words, but heavy with meaning.
They not only proved how much Sanguinius believed in his own words...
But also how convinced he was of Ogre's inevitable death.
[I am just THE dragon: ... I find it hard to believe that a former human became a god... and now rules over them.]
At that time, the human race of The God of High School universe was incredibly weak.
No supernatural powers, no extraordinary physical abilities, no mastery of martial arts: just simple mortals.
So yes, Sanguinius's claims seemed absurd to Ogre's ears. And yet, her response took everyone by surprise.
[I am just THE dragon: I'm going to assume you didn't lie. But, if you're wrong...]
She didn't finish her sentence.
But the message was clear to everyone.
A pure and simple death sentence.
[The false light of Baal: Excellent. Can you provide me with some of your bones now... or after your death? And if possible, a massive amount of The Sage Pill with dragon tears, right away.]
[The redheaded Empress: ... These... these bones and tears?!]
[The Guillotine: haha ~]
[The man stuck in the Rocky Mountains: Kazuma, are you sure this guy is reliable?]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): Chill. He must have an explanation... I think.]
[Random soldier from Cadia: I told you! He literally wants the xeno's bones and tears!!]
[Random soldier from Cadia: Today it's the xeno... and tomorrow? Huh?! My former brother-in-arms Kazuma, open your eyes!!]
