[ Kayblis Residence ]

Kayblis sat beside a bed, where his adopted daughter rested, holding her hand gently with a small frown.

It had been two years since her and Den's children were born. To be honest, they were healthy twins and the first to come out was the daughter.

But, knowing that the birth of the two were insanely taxing, Suu almost died after it. Although she survived, maybe out of sheer will or she was just lucky, it left her in a way more weakened state.

Which led to this.

Suu's eyes were almost empty, she was about to die. Yet, she turned her head towards Kayblis, her father and tried to tug his hand with all her willpower, and succeeded.

Even if it was a light tug, a very light and weak one at that, Kayblis still felt it, so he looked towards Suu.

She tried to speak something, so Kayblis slowly leaned forwards and tilted his head to allow himself to try and hear her last words.

"... Pa... pa... I don't... want to... go to... hell..."

Suu said this with all she can, even if she knew that she was forcing herself.

Hearing this, Kayblis had a short bout of realization, clarity, and a small tinge pain on his heart.

"I'll think of what I can do right now."

Kayblis, being serious here, had decided to:

[ ~ CRITICAL CHOICE ! ~ ]

{ How should Kayblis save her soul...? }

[ Convince Suu to become an Apostle ]

[ Consume her soul ]

{ Selected Option: ? }

[ ~ Critical Choice END ~ ]

"Suu, do you want to live longer?"

Kayblis suddenly asked, inciting a very weak reaction from Suu. She definitely looked confused, yet because she firmly believed that Kayblis was literally godlike, she didn't doubt him once.

So, she weakly nodded, or even tried to.

Kayblis, quickly reacting, did the impossible with Law Breaker secretly activating passively.

He asked Suu to try to open her mouth wider, which she tried to with her weakening, almost dead body that is clinging on a softening thread of life, and cut open his palm before putting the uninjured hand to her chest and the injured palm above her mouth, and let a dozen medium sized drops of blood onto her mouth.

He grinned as Suu's body started to convulse for a moment, and then her body started to become healthier, albeit still becoming a little paler that how she was supposed to. Her heartbeats became more energized, and then she looked like she was sleeping.

"... Why didn't I even think about this way earlier?"

Kayblis wondered, willing his palm to heal, before scratching his chin. Maybe the author forgot.

"Guh... whatever. I might have felt a little weaker just now, but that's nothing more than a cheap price to pay. I can just go on and regain my lost levels, anyway. Also, I might have also taken and accidentally devoured her soul and replaced it with a demonic blood soul copy. Not my problem."

Eh, he doesn't really care about it much. For now, he could inwardly celebrate that he saved his adopted daughter.

[ ~ Line • Break ~ ]

"Suu? How...?"

Den was flabbergasted in a good way, how was his wife alive and well when she was sadly crippled and on the complete verge of death?

Was she a ghost?

No, that cannot be possible.

The girl smiled, crossing her arms.

"Coinchenn and Lulu are still asleep, I see? Anyways, the answer you seek, is papa himself. I know he actually did save me, but for the cost of not being able to reproduce any more children, I'm afraid."

At the end of her sentence, she sighed, before walking up to Den in an surprisingly quick manner which was not supposed to be.

However, because this was the chief's doing...

"... This is a miracle. A real miracle."

Den muttered, falling on his butt.

Then, a religion was secretly born and spread throughout Eikoln. However Kayblis would, for some reason, not be able to discover this religion completely focused on him.

[ ~ Meanwhile... ~ ]

In the Realm of Gods, one certain Supreme God was irked, disgusted, and becoming hateful towards one certain Lis.

This is the Supreme God, Planner, being several times larger than a human, and being a large, crustacean like lifeform.

His red eyes observed this one Lis, whose soul is completely not a part of Rudrasaum, a total anomaly, possessing anomalous skills like [Law Breaker] and an unknown skill, and having the capability to level up enough to probably even equal the Demon King and the 1st Class Gods given enough time.

'... Kayblis... this mortal is going to ruin the balance I want, given enough time.' He thought.

Then, a thought came to him.

He wanted to visit his father, but knowing that he wasn't even saying anything in regards to the anomaly, he'd just do it by himself, not directly, though. His father might do something to him if he found out what Planner did.

Planner had calmly searched for someone good to eliminate him, and thought of several candidates:

Kkulf Kkulf: The Antagonist, nothing else to say.

Magiiwha: He's wise and intelligent, a dragon who serves as nothing more than someone just for his entertainment, like everyone else.

And then...

Avel: Cunning and deceitful, wanting the position of Dragon King for himself and nothing else.

Avel was the perfect tool for his plans. Pun intended.

Chuckling, he planned to use Avel and his army as a tool.

But because he has other things to do, that plan might as well wait to be launched.

[ ~ Chapter • End ~ ]

(A/n: Last chapter was boring. So let's just make Planner the literal Main Antagonist for reasons.)
