At the same time as Eiji mentioned that he had the ability to revive people who had died.
In the kitchen of the Hostess of Fertility.
An elf who dyed her hair color green was stunned. As she was cooking, her arm holding the spatula stopped.
Her memories returned to the past where her comrades whom she had considered as her own family were still alive. However, due to a trap set by a radical group called Evilus, all of them except her died.
The incident happened many years ago, although he had destroyed them as a form of revenge, but until now—Ryuu still felt regret and thought the death of her friends was her fault.
If she had been strong enough back then to help and not be a burden, the outcome might have been different.
'Alise, Kaguya, Lyra and the others... Can Eiji also bring them back to life?'
This idea could not help but come to mind, just like Asfi, her heart was beating fast because she was too excited.
Her usually expressionless face now looked shocked, she didn't even notice the burnt smell entering her nose. At least not before Anya's voice was heard by her.
"Ryuu, quickly turn off the flame, the meat is starting to burn, nyaa!"
"Ah—"
Ryuu gasped, she did as Anya said and sighed before turning to her with an apologetic smile, "It's a bit burnt. I'll cook a new one."
"Geez~ No need, it's just a little burnt. Some people like that level of doneness sometimes. Give it to me, will deliver it to the customer."
Anya did not trouble the elf.
"Understood." Ryuu said before handing the plate of steak meat to the cat woman.
But before leaving, Anya added. "If you're not feeling well, you can ask Mama Mia for leave, nyaa."
"I'm fine, Anya."
Ryuu refused to take time off, she didn't want to trouble Mia and the others. Although her mind was being distracted by the things Eiji said in his inner voice.
Even if she took the day off, she didn't know what she should do.
Going to Eiji and asking him to revive her friends?
That was too shameless considering their relationship was just acquaintances. She should think of ideas to build a good relationship with him first!
Anya didn't know why Ryuu's eyes seemed more alive and usual, as if she was determined to try something. Whatever it was, she seemed to be doing well.
At the doorstep of the Seiya Familia house.
The other bird Eiji was referring to was actually Ryuu.
But putting that aside, now he would be busy with other things.
"Eiji-sama, you're going alone?" Haruhime asked with a look similar to a dog about to be abandoned by its owner.
She pouted slightly despite forcing a smile.
Seeing that, Eiji was amused and pulled the beautiful fox into his arms. Haruhime's face turned red instantly.
"I just went to take care of a small matter, it's not too serious and won't take more than a day."
Rescuing a goddess from the mouth of an ancient monster was a small matter and not too serious?
In this world, only he could say that.
"Haruhime, will you be a good woman waiting for your husband to come home?"
"H-Husband? Mhm, Haruhime will listen to you."
The slight frown on Haruhime's face disappeared, her tail wagged and her expression looked shy.
The man in front of her was clearly her god, but he insisted on being her husband. To be honest, she was happy but also felt inferior when thinking of his other women.
They were more beautiful and stronger than her.
As for her? She was just a fox whose appearance was probably quite favorable to him.
Ah, there was also her unique magic.
However, Haruhime was very humble. She didn't mind Eiji liking her just because of that.
This woman... How big is her sense of humility? Eiji then said, "Actually, you will also be busy, Haruhime. You should increase your level by exploring the dungeon with Artoria and the others today."
"Haruhime will do her best to support her sisters!"
"Good. Now, let me taste your mouth."
"Haruhime... Eh? Eiji-sama, you–mmm~!"
Haruhime widened her eyes, a muffled moan came out of her mouth because right now, she was being kissed by Eiji.
Under the flat gaze of Artoria and the other Seiya Familia members, Eiji inserted his tongue into Haruhime's mouth while squeezing her ass.
He hadn't eaten her because he was busy, but that didn't mean he couldn't taste her in other ways, right?
Leme: You did what a Harem King, our King, should do. Good job!
Eiji enjoyed how soft and sweet the mouth of the woman in his arms was. Bell in the original work had never even done that.
The man didn't have the courage to do something like this. Wait, has Bell ever taken the initiative to kiss a woman?
"Mmn~ Hmm~ Eiji-sama, mmm~"
Haruhime closed her eyes, she awkwardly moved her tongue and had trouble breathing. Even so, she felt sweet in her heart.
Eiji-sama seemed to really like her, hehe.
More than ten minutes later.
Eiji reluctantly removed his lips from Haruhime's lips. Threads of saliva were created in the process.
Haruhime still had a blush on her face, she looked at the man in front of her with passion in her eyes.
If only Artemis' plot could be delayed, Eiji wanted to work out with that beautiful fox to taste another part of her.
Speaking of his order to increase her level in the dungeon, Haruhime certainly did not refuse, she was just excited to immediately increase her level and make her more valuable in her husband's eyes.
Hearing what the woman in his arms thought, Eiji decided to give up on improving her confidence. Such a thing, Haruhime would get it after she realized how strong she was.
Especially with the help of his Falna System, her leveling up speed would surpass that of other adventurers.
After bidding farewell to his women including Demeter and Hephaestus, who still wanted to stay longer in his familia house.
He teleported to a forest quite far away from Orario. According to Rasiel, the location he was heading for was actually farther than that, but wait a minute.
"Miss System, I should have one or two rewards that I haven't checked, right?"
[There's exactly one that you haven't checked.]
This woman was stingy, Eiji remembered he had changed more than one plot since checking the rewards last time.
But after all that, he only got one reward?
[Do you want it or not?]
"I want it of course. Miss System, don't threaten your host."
[I'm not threatening you...]
What nonsense!
From what you said, you clearly gave me the option to throw away my reward as you often did in the past.
Eiji knew Miss System as well as if she were his wife who had lived with him for many years.
Knowing what her host was thinking, Miss System knew he was teasing her and rolled her eyes.
[Ding! It was detected that the host had changed the plot of "Danmachi".]
[Successfully changed the plot by 26.7% by forcing Ishtar to return to heaven and destroying her familia.]
Come to think of it, was he still too gentle?
Eiji remembered that the person who should have done all that to Ishtar was Freya. But in this life, he replaced her because Ishtar upset him.
However, Ishtar was actually still alive. Her soul returned to her original body which was in heaven.
If that woman truly regretted her actions; that was good, but the truth?
Rasiel told him that Ishtar held a grudge and thought that as long as she was in heaven where she could use her Arcanum, she could make him her sex slave. She just didn't have the chance to do it.
*Snap!*
Eiji snapped his fingers. Instantly, Ishtar, who was enjoying herself in heaven suddenly vomited blood.
"Wh-What's going on? Why am I... Pufft!"
She continued to vomit blood until her face was extremely pale, her beauty faded and her body dried up.
Ishtar fell from her throne, sending the people around into a panic. Soon, news of her death spread in the heavens!
"Miss System, continue."
Actually, in their last encounter, Eiji had released the world snake venom from the air he mixed with his Reiatsu. That was why even though Ishtar's soul had changed bodies, the poison he gave her was still inside her and capable of damaging her soul.
As long as he wanted to, he could still kill her from the lower world, just like he was doing now.
[Correction, you actually killed Ishtar and made Ouranos fear you more. He got word of Ishtar's death in heaven, and knew it must have something to do with you.]
"The old man guessed right." Eiji said indifferently while looking at the forest scenery around him.
He didn't care if Ouranos or the other gods suspected that he was the one who killed Ishtar.
After all, what could they do to him?
[You have also taken the virginity of the Goddess of Smithing, Hephaestus. Welf is really green.]
[One of the heroines, Ryuu, also became more interested in you after learning that you might be able to revive her friends. Right now, she's thinking of a reason to contact you.]
The corners of Eiji's lips lifted higher, he was looking forward to how Ryuu would woo him into reviving her friends.
He wouldn't do it for free.
Speaking of Ryuu's friends, some of them were also beautiful and had looks comparable to heroines.
He certainly must not let Ryuu know that without him begging, he would still revive the women of the Astraea Familia.
However, now was not the time. Imagining the quiet elf chasing after her, Eiji, was excited.
Protagonist Bell was about to lose yet another potential member of his harem. But that didn't matter because he only had Ais in his heart, right? He wasn't so greedy like him.
"Don't worry, Bell. I'll help you to reduce any distractions that stand in the way of your love."
"Wait, I remember I did something to the thread of destiny between him and Ais... Correction, I meant I'll make sure that you and Apollo are together, Bell!"
Miss System: This guy...
[Ding! Congratulations host, you got Made in Heaven.]
"?" Eiji.
The name of his reward this time was unfamiliar to him, although just from the name, it seemed like something serious.
He checked the description of what he just got and was surprised.
"It turned out to be a stand!"
To be precise, Made in Heaven was a Stand owned by Enrico Pucci (the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean). This stand is considered one of the most powerful in the entire JoJo series due to its ability to manipulate the laws of the universe.
For example, with this stand...
Eiji is able to accelerate time to the point of singularity which resets the entire universe. In the process, time in all realities moves simultaneously towards new endings and new beginnings, creating a harmonized destiny for all beings.
Of course, he wouldn't use it to that extent, he wasn't a madman like Enrico. Such an act would be tantamount to ruining all the changes he had made in every universe he visited.
His women also risked being replaced with their new selves and losing their memories like what happened to the people in Jojo's series.
However, if he wanted to synchronize the time in each universe he had visited, and make them move in unison...
That seems to be safe.
"I'll probably do it later because the time difference in each universe is also favorable for me."
For example even though he had stayed for a week in the Danmachi universe, he had only been gone for four days from the Draconic Deus universe. And a few days in the other universes he had visited.
"Alright, time to go."
...
It was different from daytime in Orario.
Because of its distant location as well as the time difference in each country. The faint moonlight penetrated through the gap in the ruins of the ancient temple in the depths of the forest, illuminating the dust that flew up due to the violent vibrations from deep underground.
There, the giant scorpion monster, Antares, stood proudly. Its body covered in a dark shell exuded a gripping bloodthirsty aura.
"GROAAAAAR!!!"
It roared and glared at a group of people led by a woman with long blue hair with a bow in her hand.
That woman was the Goddess Artemis, one of the famous Virgin Goddesses in Heaven.
Her beauty was unquestionable, she was so beautiful that Eiji thought she was his future wife.
Artemis stood in front of her loyal followers, her silver bow drawn, but her hands trembled slightly not from fear, but from realizing that what Eiji had said in his heart was true.
After knowing that she and her familia members would be killed by Antares, she certainly did not want to fight it.
But...!
If she didn't, sooner or later, the monster would kill the people living in the settlement not far from the forest.
As a goddess with a heroic personality, she could not ignore the existence of Antares who could potentially kill many people.
So, here she and her familia members were.
She was doing something stupid by trying to kill Antares, and she seemed to be overconfident.
"Back off! Don't let the tail get close!" Artemis shouted, her voice echoing between the crumbling stone pillars.
The captain of the Artemis Familia, Rethusa, was panting with a scratch on her shoulder. "Artemis-sama! Our attack did not penetrate its skin! Our weapons actually cracked when they hit the shell!"
For your information, she was a level 3 and the strongest among the other members. Artemis was clearly overconfident in her familia's power.
Antares let out a deafening shrill roar. Its crystal tail glowed a dark purple, then with lightning speed, a shot of energy blasted through the pillar right beside them.
They dodged the debris that was about to fall on them frantically.
"It's too strong..." Artemis whispered, her eyes fixed on the energy core in the monster's chest. That was the location of the magic stone, but it was difficult for them to get close to it. "It's not a monster we can subdue with ordinary strategies. It feeds on the energy of this land itself to grow this strong."
"But Artemis-sama, if we retreat, this monster will reach the settlement!" A level 2 hunter exclaimed in a desperate tone.
Artemis turned around, looking at her exhausted family members one by one. As the goddess of hunters, she knew when to attack and when to survive. "Listen to me! We're not running away, we're luring Antares into an open area. Focus on the spread formation! Don't group up!"
"Rethusa, go left and create a visual distraction with smoke bombs! The rest of you, follow me! We'll widen the distance and look for an opening while retreating in order!"
She commanded sternly.
At that moment, Antares attacked again, this time with its giant claws that struck the ground until it cracked. Artemis released three arrows at once to distract the monster from her familia members.
"Run now! Don't look back until you reach the forest boundary!"
As the members of her familia began to scatter away, Artemis stood for a moment, she looked at Antares who seemed to be getting more and more fierce nervously.
Actually, she was lying.
As Eiji had said, she was even thinking of sacrificing herself so that her familia members could survive.
She continued to bait Antares so that it would continue to follow her. But before long, she was too late to react when the monster fired an energy shot towards her back.
'I hope Rethusa, Lante and the others have gone far enough.'
Artemis smiled bitterly, she thought she would die without having a chance to use her Arcanum.
Although after that, she knew she would break the divine rules and be forced to return to heaven.
She didn't mind doing so.
*BOOM!!*
Antares' energy blast struck something, but instead of the explosion of destruction that was heard, it was a muffled sound of impact. Thick dust covered the area.
As it slowly thinned, Artemis' eyes widened in disbelief. In front of her stood a white-haired man with an erect back and a white robe that fluttered in the strong wind.
The man was holding back Antares' energy shots by means unknown to her. When he turned to her, Artemis, who was known to dislike any man, could not help but blush.
How could she not?
His face was so handsome, with a firm jawline and golden eyes that looked so deep, as if he was a God who had just descended to heaven.
He was more handsome than any man she had ever seen.
However, he couldn't be a god, right?
In the lower world, every god and goddess could not use their divine power carelessly.
"You've fought well." Eiji said with a smile on his face. Under the moonlight, his facial profile and clothes that now resembled Phainon from HSR didn't help, it made him really look like a hero.
What woman wouldn't fall in love with him after he deliberately came at a time like this, and with this appearance?
Yare-yare.
