'Achievement unlocked: best father ever.' I thought to myself in glee, seeing the light faded and Nyx come to, "Are you feeling ok now, Nyx?"
Before I could respond, Nyx threw herself in my arms. I reciprocated her act of affection and touched her soul a little.
Her appearance changed slightly, her previous look has magical glowing veins and metallic skin going up her neck bad receded. Now with her dress covering up her remaining metal skin, she was physically indistinguishable from a human.
She had noticed my interference and she definitively was not happy about it.
With her leave, she gave one final slap and ran away, but I still gained a glimpse at her new ultimate skill.
Grethchen holds the authority of a beings life essence. Capable of creating and controling life, minds and skills. Gretchen utilizes life domination and spiritual domination from the combined Engineer and Spiritualist to create life and it can use skill duplication, skill storage from Simulacrum and Skill gifting from the combined Simulacrum and Spiritualist.
The last ability of Gretchen is called Empathy world, a world skill that when activated will stripe away the concept of death entirely and automatically heal all wounds without any regard for time.
This essence of birth and giving, truly a fitting skill for the fitting recipient, she could have the potential to surpass me, the only flaw that she has that I don't is the computational power needed to copy skills. Although she was built to be extremely smart and her intelligence has gone up due to her evolution but comparing that to Nous would be like hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby.

"Hello master, whatcha doing!" As I was working on my soul destroying machine, a giant pink fluff ball suddenly crashed into me, causing me to crash into the floor and creating a trail of destruction, even destroying an artificial mountain in Eden that Orion had just set up.
Orion looked at the mountain with a deprecating smile, his attempt and practise in trying other forms of elemental magic was now almost in the dust.
I got up and began scolding her, "Yuura, it's not nice to just do that to someone, not to mention that you destroyed Orion's mountain!" Yuura became immediately timid at my scolding.
Yuura has a very split personality like mind, when meeting someone in need of help then she adopts the demeanor of a mature big sister, when it's someone she recognizes as higher authority then she acts like a spoiled child. If that someone was one who pissed her off… well then may god have mercy on your soul, cause she won't.
Her treatment of me fit into the second category, she acted like a kid always searching for praise from me.
Occasionally I would sleep on my throne, and yes I have a throne, and when I wake up I would find a stowaway sleeping against and hugging my leg, despite having a room with a perfectly comfortable bed and not even needing sleep, she still tries to stay by my side as much as possible.
Diablo is the prime Rimuru glazer, while Yuura is the prime Simon glazer. Believe me, when I say that whenever Yuura goes to the Cardinal world, she does political work for me out of freewill.
I was done scolding her and cheering up the depressed Orion, "Yuura, why did you do that?"
"I only did that out of love for you Milord."
"Yuura! Why are you doing this?" I became fed up with Yuura's chaotic nature. It was adorable at first and I couldn't care less about what she did to me but I couldn't allow her to inconvenience others.
"Well, you never spend time with me, you always just shrug it off." Yuura spoke in a low tone as if she had been wronged.
————————————————
"I can't believe I'm doing this." I had fell to the cuteness of the demoness and couldn't say no to her baby doll eye attack.
What was I doing currently? Well I was currently going out on a date with Yuura, or it was one in Yuura's eyes. For me, this felt no different than humoring a child, something I haven't done since Nyx's conception.
We were currently in Sarion enjoying a nice exploration. Yuura had picked this place because she was enamoured with the aesthetic of the big tree. The natural beauty of the Sarion dynasty had massively appealed to her.
Truth be told, I didn't really need to tour this place, Gehrman had recently given me a tour of this place. I looked boredly at all the landmarks but a gaze fell on me that I couldn't ignore.
I looked to my side to find a pouting demon look at me with fierce eyes, " You're not paying attention!"
" I'm sorry. I've just seen everything here already."
"Huh, without me, you're so cruel! I demand compensation for emotional damage."
I smiled at her and went along with her antics, "Ok then, whatever you say, you hell spawn."
And before I knew it, I felt hands cupping my face and a warm sensation on lips. Yuura had let go of my face and buried her face in my chest and latched herself around my body, "Milord, what I want is your undivided attention."
"Sure but next time, give me a heads up ahead of time before suddenly kissing me." I wasn't embarrassed, just caught off guard, I was ready too grown up to be so immature.
"Please, just for today, just look at me?"
————————————————
If I'm being honest, I had a lovely time on this date. Yuura was spoiled but also quite considerate and kind, she had taken into account all of the major and minor inconveniences that could occur in this scenario, it even seemed like she had planned this all.
After taking pictures, trying cosplay, and eating at a nice establishment. We took a seat at a random bench, " Are you satisfied now?"
" Quite, I know my limitations as a servant and I know your heart belongs else where."
" You do?"
" Amanises had told me a lot. Honestly, it's fitting for my strong master to have tamed a true dragon."
" If she's told you that, then she should have told you what I did to her and the severity of my action."
" Yes, she did. Are you gonna keep yourself away from her because you are too afraid to confront her or is it because you feel you do not deserve her?"
"Both."
"Is that what's hindering your intention to go visit her?"
"It is. Not permanently though, I'm too selfish of an individual to let guilt steer me away from her for too long… but what I did was simply unforgivable."
"…You're afraid that if you go back then she won't accept you."
I flinched at her astute analysis, she was kinda a jack of all trades, she's proof that there's a difference between being immature and stupid. Her childish nature was a choice and was something she could turn off when needed too.
Wait a second, " Yuura, why are you so childish, it seems to be something you're very incontrol of?"
" Why am I so childish? Well I am a child technically."
" You know what I mean."
Yuura giggled at my frustration, " What's wrong with being childish. Seeing the world in the innocent demeanor of a child, not thinking about all the evil of the world, it can be quite fulfilling. You should try that sometime, just look at the world on the surface level, it can sometimes improve your thinking of the world."
Good damn, ok dr Phil. I got up and reached my hand out to Yuura. She took it and got up by my pull, " Thank you Yuura."
" Mhm? For what?"
" Nothing, it's just reassuring to know I have such a capable surbordinate."
" Awwwww! You're gonna make me blush."
Before she could react I gave a kiss onto her forehead which caused something notable to change in her soul.
[Gifted the unique skill: Revelations… successful]
" Oh Woah, my fourth unique skill, thank you Milord!"
" You're welcom- wait FOURTH! I know about your first two but when did you get your third one?"
" Oh that I got after our battle and you made me your surbordinate. It's an ability called Conqueror and it allows me to subjugate and seize control of living beings."
I was quite happy with hearing she has such a useful skill but then my eyes narrowed and I began putting some disturbing puzzle pieces together, "So losing to me made you form a will to control others? Yuura, is there something you wanna say to me?"
"Uh um I… well I just." And slowly but surely, Yuura's face began showing a more perverted expression.
This is an utterly disturbing kink that I'm completely defenseless against. Why? Because this is what Velzard is into.
I guess I should explain what I just gave to Yuura just now. Revelations is taking the sub-skill Armageddon from Michael and inverting it, now Yuura can manually create demons without limitations aside from her own magicule capacity.

"Thank you again Yuura, this thank you is for giving me a tiny bit of resolve." I said to Yuura before taking us back to Eden.
" Resolve for what?"
" Resolve to face those I ran away from. I believe it's time I return home."
