"Hmm..."
"Oh right!"
Snap!
Sora seemed to think of something and suddenly snapped his fingers.
The next moment.
A light screen appeared.
"Hiss..."
Katou Megumi, Eriri, and Sawamura Sayuri.
At this moment, the three women.
Couldn't help but gasp sharply. It was a hellish scene that couldn't be described in words—tortured souls, pain, wailing...
Countless things gathered together.
Standing there was a woman who bore seventy to eighty percent resemblance to Katou Megumi.
She was more mature and steady, but her eyes were also filled with terror.
Katou Hiromi.
Katou Megumi's sister. In the original work, she was already married, but at the timeline when Sora arrived, Katou Hiromi hadn't married yet.
Worth mentioning!
Katou Hiromi was actually a standard rationalist.
Yesterday.
When Leone found Katou Hiromi, Katou Hiromi signed the dependent contract without hesitation.
In her view, everything that had happened simply couldn't be resisted.
Since that was the case.
Only by signing the contract would she have a chance to save her family and sister.
This was also why.
Today.
Among the women in the room, Katou Hiromi wasn't present.
"Sister..."
Katou Megumi was a girl with a very calm personality.
This was related to her own nature.
Katou Megumi had always had a very low sense of presence.
Because of this.
Katou Megumi had been accustomed to being ignored since childhood, so she rarely had emotional fluctuations.
But now!
Katou Megumi saw her sister standing at the entrance to hell, surrounded by wailing sounds. She seemed to know what choice she should make.
Snap!
Sora snapped his fingers again, and everything vanished.
At the same time.
"..."
"Hiromi, you're really ruthless!"
"That's your own sister!"
Even Leone couldn't help but click her tongue, while the other women also came out.
Everyone wore expressions of bewilderment.
No way.
Are you really her sister?
As a sister, you're actually playing with your own sister like this?
Katou Hiromi smiled naturally: "As a sister, if I don't play with my own sister, then what's the point of having a sister?"
Kurome immediately stood in front of Akame, covering Akame's ears: "Sister, don't listen. This is the devil's whisper."
"Hehehe..."
Kurome's action made everyone laugh.
Subsequently.
Leone waved her hand: "Alright, don't waste time here. Next, you'll come with me to set up barriers. In the future, there will be a lot of work."
"Right!"
Everyone nodded and followed Leone away.
In the hotel!
Sora crossed his legs, holding Persephone and Kasumigaoka Utaha on either side: "So, little Megumi, Eriri, what are your choices?"
"Speaking of which..."
Sora focused his gaze on Eriri, his eyes full of amusement: "As a daughter, you surely don't want your mother to experience endless suffering, right?"
Eriri remained silent.
Meanwhile.
Katou Megumi very naturally began removing her clothes piece by piece.
She said very calmly: "I will make the right choice."
After speaking.
Katou Megumi had already walked toward the room, and soon the sound of bathing could be heard.
"No way..."
"Hey?"
"Ah!"
At this moment, Eriri felt like her brain was about to explode. She had no idea what was going on!
How did things suddenly become like this?
Eh?!
Did you really need to be so fast?
What are you doing?
As a doujin artist, Eriri's mind was already filled with many details that couldn't pass censorship.
"I see."
Sawamura Sayuri said quite calmly: "To survive, all we need to sacrifice is our bodies?"
Sora shook his head: "To be precise, that's the only useful thing about you. Besides that, everything else about you is meaningless to me."
"I understand."
Sawamura Sayuri nodded quietly. She knew what she should do.
She also led Eriri toward the room.
As mother and daughter.
Sawamura Sayuri was very clear about what her advantages were.
"Hehehe..."
Persephone smiled helplessly: "Dust, you're really becoming more and more like a villain character."
"Huh?"
Sora was stunned, asking in confusion: "Persephone, am I not a villain character?"
"..."
With these words.
Both Kasumigaoka Utaha and Mine were stunned.
Especially for Mine.
In Mine's heart, His Majesty had saved her world and given her opportunities. His Majesty was completely the best person!
"You all!"
Sora said casually: "Please, I'm the Dark God. No matter from what angle you look at it, I'm the villain! If this were in a light novel, I'd be the final boss who's destined to destroy the world."
"Alright."
"It's not a big deal anyway."
Sora released the two women and naturally walked toward the room.
Persephone looked up at Mine, whose face was flushed: "Little Mine, if you miss this opportunity, you might never get another turn!"
"I..."
"I..."
"Lord Hades."
"I understand..."
Mine shyly lowered her head. Although she seemed hesitant, she quickly walked toward the room.
Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed her waist: "It's going to be very tiring."
"Hehehe..."
Persephone stood up and walked to the window, quietly watching the world outside through the one-way glass—somewhat chaotic, yet peaceful.
"Little Utaha."
"Do you know why you're among those who stayed?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head: "Could it be that we're really protagonists?"
Persephone nodded: "Little Utaha, little Megumi, little Eriri—you're all like that. You're protagonists."
"As dependents."
"You have real growth potential."
"As for the others?"
Persephone shook her head: "In the future, their ceiling will be very low."
"Actually."
"This principle applies to others as well."
"Initially..."
"Everything was fine, but for you, in the future Dust will conquer more and more worlds."
"At that time."
"You'll need to consider many things."
Persephone spoke gently: "In His Majesty's heart, whether divine subordinates or dependents, they can do whatever they like, unless they're Specter Saints or Evil God Tool users. Otherwise, they can do whatever they want."
"However."
"You should be very clear that His Majesty's status corresponds to 666."
"In the future."
"If you're not outstanding enough yourself, can you sit beside His Majesty?"
"Lord Hades."
"I understand."
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded very seriously.
Persephone said gently: "After all, little Utaha, you're very suitable as a Specter Saint. Work hard."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was very clear about what she should do.
The second day!
For Sora, it was another very comfortable day.
Three days' time.
Everything had been taken care of.
Sora stretched his muscles and bones, saying with some sentiment: "The speed is really getting faster and faster. The barriers have all been set up. Alright, Ker, you stay behind. Everyone else, we should head back."
Sora led everyone in preparation for the return journey.
This time.
The dependent contracts signed were the most among the three worlds so far.
Hyodo Michiru, Hashima Izumi, Akasaka Akane, Himekawa Tokino, Morioka Ranko, Mizuhara Erika, Machida Sonoko, Sagara Mayu, Katou Hiromi, Sawamura Sayuri.
Just dependents with no potential ceiling who simply possessed beauty numbered ten.
Besides that!
Katou Megumi, Eriri, and Kasumigaoka Utaha.
These three female protagonists had also signed dependent contracts and became dependents.
In total!
In this world, Sora had recruited a total of 13 dependents.
Hmm...
Excellent!
Sora gave a thumbs up to this.
Especially...
Sawamura Sayuri and Eriri—it must be admitted.
Since Sora had eaten rice bowls, he was becoming increasingly interested in such cuisine.
Cough cough cough...
It seemed inappropriate!
Pure Land of Bliss!
As the portal opened—or rather, the portal had never been closed.
Sora led the women inside.
"Hmm..."
Demeter lazily reclined on the sofa, her eyes hazy: "You're back already? It's only been three days. Don't you want to play a bit longer?"
Sora looked at Demeter helplessly: "Demeter, you were supposed to watch the house, but you've been sleeping the whole time?"
"I left a strand of divine power in the Underworld City."
"Nothing could possibly happen."
"Moreover..."
Demeter shook her head, shifting to a more comfortable position while remaining lazy: "For gods, the way of thinking differs from humans. Three days is nothing for gods—they wouldn't do anything."
"That's true."
Bringing this up, Sora nodded with understanding, then turned: "Alright, you can all disperse. I'll leave the portal in the living room. If you want to return to your original world, you can go back directly."
"Besides that."
"Pandora."
"Take them to find suitable rooms."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Pandora nodded. Whether it was because of too much recent work, Pandora now felt like she had completely transformed into a secretary!
The former Pandora wore long dresses.
Now?
Pandora had her dark purple hair pinned up high, paired with gold-framed glasses, a women's short skirt secretary outfit, black stockings, and red-soled high heels.
Hiss...
Must say!
Pandora was quite eye-catching.
She led the women away one after another.
For a moment.
In the room that had been full of chattering women, only Sora, Persephone, Demeter, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Katou Megumi, and Eriri remained.
Sora looked at each woman and contemplated slightly: "Utaha, you're actually very suitable for this Demon Star."
A Demon Star appeared and instantly merged into Kasumigaoka Utaha's body.
In an instant!
Dark purple light began to bloom.
A gorgeous Surplice had already attached to Kasumigaoka Utaha's body.
Celestial Hero Star Flame Demon: Kasumigaoka Utaha!
"Besides that..."
Sora raised his hand. The 108 Demon Stars that had always been wrapped around his wrist suddenly scattered.
Sora said: "Persephone, as Hades, from now on, these 108 Demon Stars will be under your management."
"Alright."
Persephone also smiled as she took the Demon Star bracelet and naturally put it on her wrist.
108 dark purple Demon Stars.
At this moment.
Six Demon Stars were already emitting beautiful light.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho, Kanao Tsuyuri, Mitsuri Kanroji, and Aoi Kanzaki.
If anyone among the Specter Saints could be considered filler, it would be Aoi Kanzaki.
However!
Aoi Kanzaki was an elder-level dependent who joined True Hell in the second world, so having such treatment was appropriate.
Sora would provide Aoi Kanzaki with more resources later to help her grow.
"As for little Megumi and Eriri..."
"Hmm..."
Sora said thoughtfully: "Honestly, little Megumi and Eriri's talents are qualified whether as Specter Saints or Evil God Tool users. I'm not sure how to arrange them."
"Little Megumi, Eriri."
"Your Majesty!"
"You should learn about Specter Saints and Evil God Tool users yourselves, then give me an answer. You can choose this path yourselves."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Both Katou Megumi and Eriri nodded obediently.
Although.
Sora valued all his dependents and wouldn't create hierarchical differences.
However!
Even so, there would still be gaps between dependents.
Some could become Specter Saints or Evil God Tool users.
While other dependents simply served as beautiful decorative mascots.
In such situations.
Over time.
Gaps would still appear.
It would depend on what choices they made in the future.
"Next..."
Sora took out four anchor nails, opened the Star Map, and began the series of processes: fixing anchor points, anchoring the world, and dragging it.
One after another.
Sora was no longer so weakened, but rather quite relaxed.
"Phew..."
Sora exhaled stale air and shook his head: "As expected! Just as I predicted, with only four anchor nails, world dragging will be very troublesome. Calculating the time, it will take at least two to two and a half months until this world is incorporated into the Dark Multiverse."
"By then, it will basically be time to begin conquering the next world."
Sora had guessed this efficiency.
How to put it.
Anchoring worlds really didn't have much to do with one's own divine power, unless he could reach the level where he didn't need the Dimensional Star Map to traverse all heavens and worlds.
Otherwise.
The fundamental core was anchoring worlds through anchor nails, then relying on the Dimensional Star Map's divine power to forcibly drag them over.
"Then let's take it slowly."
Persephone wasn't urgent either: "After all, we'll always encounter such situations. We might even encounter cases in the future where it takes three months to drag a world over when the portal has already finished cooling down."
"Dust, these are all very normal."
Kasumigaoka Utaha, Katou Megumi, and Eriri.
The three women all looked curiously at the Dimensional Star Map. This was the divine artifact that could traverse all heavens and worlds, belonging to His Majesty? Authority?
Sora shook his head: "Future matters are hard to say for now. However! I have a feeling about the Dimensional Star Map—when I ignite divine fire, it will probably undergo a transformation. Of course, that also requires time."
Sora was also quite troubled.
Ignite divine fire?
How could that be so easy!
Look at Nezuko Kamado—it had only been a few months!
She was already beginning to ignite divine fire, becoming a true demon god.
As for himself?
Keep waiting!
Supreme status meant that every step forward was extremely difficult. As for level-skipping challenges?
Uh...
Sora indicated that was trivial—nothing worth mentioning.
"Alright!"
Sora clapped his hands: "Let's consider this recent period as everyone taking a vacation. Going to the modern world for shopping is quite nice. People always need to rest—you can't work every day."
