In a sense, it wasn't an otherworldly goddess but a Japanese "God of Breasts" who appeared before us. Her voice echoed to us through Rias-senpai's chest, which was being used like a speaker.
[Now then, I shall grant my blessing to the "Oppai Dragon" here and now.]
"I don't really get what's going on, but if this can solve the situation, anything's fine! So, God of Breasts of Japan! Please, grant me that blessing right away!"
Issei stared intensely at Rias-senpai's chest—the source of the divine voice—while desperately trying to receive the blessing.
However, the God of Breasts's reply was unexpected.
[No. I will not be granting my blessing to you.]
"…Huh? What do you mean?"
[Indeed, you are also an "Oppai Dragon." However… are you truly the only being worthy of that name?]
At her words, I finally understood.
There was one other creature who could claim that title.
"Issei… you mean your familiar, Ryuuteimaru, right?"
The one who had stolen even Gasper's position as Gremory's top earner and hardest worker—the "producer of milk."
The God of Breasts confirmed my guess.
[That is correct. I shall grant my blessing to your familiar instead. Now, raise your voice and call: "Summon Oppai!" With my blessing, even in this Heaven, the summoning should be possible!]
"I mean, that's the chant for summoning Rias—or Switch Princess—but whatever! Enough thinking! Come, Ryuuteimaru!—SUMMON OPPAAAAI!"
With Issei's shout, the summoning circle activated, and a massive form that hadn't been seen in a long time emerged.
It was the dragon with the nature of trees.
So… Ryuuteimaru really came.
[Listen carefully. I am a being who originated as a sacred tree resembling female breasts, elevated into Divine Dividing through human prayer. My rank may be low, but thanks to the milk produced by your familiar, my spiritual rank has risen enough for me to directly grant blessings.]
So even the God of Breasts of another world had grown stronger… then it wasn't strange that this world's God of Breasts was affected too.
[The one who grants breasts to women across the world—and your Red Dragon Emperor's familiar—share a high level of compatibility. Now, I shall guide your familiar to a new height!]
Well… it is a tree that's also an oppai dragon. I guess getting a blessing or two isn't weird… right?I thought, confused.
A focused beam of light from Rias-senpai's chest shot forward, gently but powerfully enveloping Ryuuteimaru.
"SHYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
Ryuuteimaru roared.
Roots erupted from beneath Ladon's feet, spreading rapidly and wrapping around him.
"Tch! You've extended roots all the way down into the First Heaven beneath my barrier! But what is this level of restraint supposed to accomplish?!"
True enough, against an enemy like Ladon who mainly fought by remaining stationary and using barriers simply "binding" him shouldn't have mattered much.
Or so I thought.
But the change came quickly.
"What!? My barrier is collapsing!? Why!? I can't properly refine my power when I'm entangled like this… what is this?!"
Right… Ryuuteimaru's tendrils had that kind of effect. Even before, once she caught someone, she could completely nullify the magic of upper-class devils like Rias-senpai or Akeno-senpai.
And before long, the barrier separating us from Ladon shattered.
Seizing the opening, Ryuuteimaru surged forward, her entire body wrapping around Ladon, burying him beneath layers of roots and vines.
It was as if she were assimilating and absorbing him.
Perhaps it was because dragons and trees are fundamentally similar in nature.
And Ryuuteimaru herself was originally a chimera, an artificial composite beast.
"St-Stop ittttt!! You're… you're invading inside meeeee!!?"
Ladon's panicked voice echoed faintly from within the gaps of the trunk-like mass.
Naturally, no one here was going to help him… or rather, no one even knew how to.
"AAAAAOOOOPPAAAAIIIIII!!"
His scream distorted as it continued.
The overwhelming "oppai power" stored within Ryuuteimaru was likely eroding his mind.
"Oppai… Oppai is attacking me from all sides! Left, right, front, back—everywhere is oppai! I'm being swallowed by a tsunami of oppai!"
…Things were getting pretty wild.
Was he drowning in oppai energy or something?
Fine. I'll give him a hand. Dragging this out would just be annoying.
I approached Ryuuteimaru and whispered toward the purple gem-like core at her center.
"Ladon. You've got no choice but to ride that oppai wave, don't you think?"
In other words—just accept it.
"…Ah… yes… that's right… these soft things I once thought I could only resist with hardness… are embracing me so gently…"
"I see… what was I even resisting… oppai… oppai… oppai…"
Ladon's consciousness dissolved into an ocean of oppai.
With a final "oppai echo," he completely merged with Ryuuteimaru.
[The Evil Dragon Ladon was originally the guardian of the Golden Apples. From now on, he shall serve as part of Ryuuteimaru's power. Furthermore, by absorbing a dragon king-class being, Ryuuteimaru's production capacity has increased. The supply and demand imbalance of has now improved, allowing more blessings to reach the world.]
Well… I guess so.
The God of Breasts really is something else. Not only did she solve the situation by blessing Ryuuteimaru, she also strengthened her own faith by spreading milk blessings across the world.
"It's true… even when Ryuuteimaru was working at full capacity, only the top ranks of each faction or noble families could get access. Lower-ranked houses were stuck waiting."
"Ufufu… there were quite a lot of complaints about production before, but that should improve now."
Thus, the "Oppai Revolution" entered a new stage, spreading like a tidal wave across the world.
"Honestly, I'm kind of shocked at Ikkī's lack of mercy. That whisper to a dying Ladon was basically the devil's temptation."
What are you talking about? Sometimes acceptance is the key to survival.
In a world where oppai miracles happen… resisting them just brings suffering.
Anyway, Ladon's matter was resolved.
I walked over to Cao Cao, who was still frozen in place holding his Longinus, and patted his shoulder.
"Cao Cao. Congratulations, you've become a gag character. That label's sticking with you forever."
"…Arima Ikki. Could you perhaps be a bit kinder?"
What am I supposed to do—comfort him?
"Alright! Anyway, Ladon's gone (sort of)! Let's move on! Ryuuteimaru, you stay here and guard this gate! Crush any approaching evil dragons with your barrier!"
"SHYAGAAA! SHYAGAAAAAAAAA!!"
Ryuuteimaru responded.
With this, the area around the gate was mostly secured.
The angels fighting in the Second Heaven should also find things easier now.
"Alright everyone. Let's move on.
