21 Servants
2 Days after Shin Arrived in Paradise
"So this is the place where World Tree resides?" Shin said as he. Jeanne and Scathach arrived at an area devoid of spirits.
"Yeah, we could have gotten here faster if it wasn't for Shin-sama screwing the Federation and Ms. Roselle around!" Jeanne yelled
"It was necessary, but I do admit I could have done better at the very least we have fallen angel blood, maybe DaVinci can use it"
"Shh!" Scathach quieted the duo.
Jeanne and Shin immediately shut up and listened to Scathach's warning, Scathach soon summoned Gae Bolg Alternative and threw it to a direction.
"Parasites" Scathach went to Gáe Bolg and was followed by Shin and Jeanne.
"Looks like we have company" Shin sensed the surrounding nests and Summoned Rhongomyniad.
"Jeanne you take the right I'll take the left!"
Shortly The Trio eliminated the Area from the Parasites and floating Spirit came in.
"Humans? Friendly?" The Blue spirit spoke to Shin.
"Yes, where is the World Tree?" As soon as The Spirit hear Shin speak.
"Help! World Tree there! Come!" The Blue spirit dragged Shin to the location of the World Tree.
Soon all the elemental spirits saw Shin, Jeanne and Scáthach, they gathered around them to guide them.
"Humans help!" A low level spirit spoke.
"Parasite! King's there!" The blue spirit that guided Shin spoke he saw a massive trunk surrounded by Various Parasites.
"Shin-sama, we'll take them down, Jeanne can you protect the Spirits here? Please erect a barrier on all the spirits"
"Certainly" Jeanne spoke as she guarded the hundreds of Spirits that were behind her.
"RHONGMYNIAD!" Shin shouted as he trusted Rhongo on to the Area decimating the nests
"Gate of Skye" Scáthach slammed the ground with Gáe Bolg and a Huge Door appeared. The door opened sucking all the parasites in the Dimension.
Soon the Area was devoid of life only showing the Spirit Kings still tied to the World Tree, Shin came near the World Tree.
"It's corrupted, but nothing I can't handle" Shin began purifying the World Tree, but before the World Tree could be purified it wilted and disappeared.
"What?" Shin was shocked as he didn't know what to do but soon The Spirit Kings came.
"I'm Slyphid, on behalf of the Fairy population with thank you, do not fret the World Tree is recovering but it will be reborn into a new a seed, may we know thy Heroes name?"
"I'm Shin, this is Scáthach and that is Jeanne" The surrounding fairy kings bowed to them.
"We thank you all for liberating us, but it is also our fear that this freedom is limited as they will comeback and destroy this place once more." Slyphid told the Trio, shortly Jeanne walked in with the hundreds of Spirits and The Blue Spirit came with 4 seeds presenting it to Shin.
"Take, World Tree, Save" The Blue Spirit told Shin.
"This?" Shin looked at the Seed as he took it.
"The World Tree this time has used your holy power to create 5 Seeds once more, 1 will be in our possession as we will birth it here and the 4 will be with you"
"We are entrusting our future generation with you Shin-sama" The Fire Fairy spoke.
"If there is a request that you need of us we will do our best to fulfil it" Slyphid then spoke.
"There is one, nothing to minor and they are the reason why we saved you in the first place"
"Please do tell us Shin-sama"
"Forgive the Cave fairies and allow them to live here once more" After Shin spoke some of them felt uneasy but ultimately decided to accede to his request.
"Though they were at fault in the past they have done a great service so for this we will lift their curses and allow them to live here as you wish Shin-sama"
"Thank you Sylphid but before we leave, Scáthach erect a barrier and teleportation coordinate to the estate."
Scáthach nodded and went to work
"For what reason is it Shin-sama?"
"Just in case the parasites attack once more, the barrier strength should be enough to hold them to allow you to escape, either you can escape to my estate where I will wait or you can escape back to the federation"
Knowing the seriousness and grace that Shin showed them the Spirit Kings bowed once more.
"We are in your debt Shin-sama, if we are to survive the parasite queen then we will send some of our descendants to server you until we no longer can"
"Fret not I have plans for it already, Now I must go back as I have many things to do."
"Then as our eternal guest, may we know where you will go? We will teleport you there."
Scáthach soon came back and Jeanne had finished playing with some of the spirits that were surrounding her.
"The Federation" Shin spoke shortly a Portal appeared showing the federation.
'Its time to earn me some points' Shin smiled
"Are you gonna scam them once more Shin-sama?" Jeanne asked
"Maybe?"
Shin, Jeanne and Scáthach soon jumped in as they heard the cheers from the Spirits

In a meeting room at the Capital of The Federation at the same day.
"I assume you already Agree to the deal Gabriel?"
"What happened to you? This isn't like the last time where you took everything" Gabriel was confused.
"Just say yes or no"
"The Elixir for the World Tree Seed? And I'm guessing you will also want everyone to know about this deed?"
"Pretty much Yes"
"Tell me, as a Human yourself why are you helping us and not your own kind?" Gabriel asked.
"I'll help them soon enough, not right now as I stand to gain nothing, once news of this comes out then they'll come running to me"
"Fine the protection of the World Tree itself is already enough for a Dozen of Elixirs but alas we only have one left so it is a fair deal. I'm sure you also have a way to hasten its growth?"
"That's gonna cost more." Shin was waiting for this moment.
"Speak" Gabriel had a bad feeling about this as he felt he had made a deal with the devil once more.
"Nothing much, just put a statue of me and Luxura together while using Scáthach as the model for her while also erecting a Temple of Luxuria and Jeanne's Temple of God that will be grander than any Temple in Paradise."
Gabriel was shocked at his request that he did not know what to say.
"That's it? No you asking for rare metals or any sacred treasures from us?"
"Yes"
"I'll call the Dwarves immediately before you change your Mind!" Gabriel then ran over to call the Dwarves to start the construction.
"Why me?" Scáthach questioned as she felt there were more beauties other than her.
"You're my first Queen remember? I'll give Iris what she wants soon as I've felt I've neglected both of you for quite sometime now that's why I hope in some way I can repay you like this as vain as it seems" Shin took Scáthach hand's and kissed it causing Scáthach to blush lightly.
"Well, repay me fully by finishing your tasks if you want to have more" Scáthach teased Shin by kissing his cheek.
"Then what about me?"
"Oh? Is someone looking for love now? Where'd that 'I love everyone equally' go?"
"It's not th-!" Shin then hugged Jeanne and patted her head.
"Looks like the Saint is finally opening up"
"Seeing you lovey dovey with everyone of course it somewhat influenced me abit" Jeanne muttered under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing!"
Shortly Gabriel came back with dwarves.
"Ok they're the people who the federation is in deep thanks for please do it wonderfully"
"Sure sure anything for the Hero of Lust, say do you have any specific pose for your statue in the temple?" A Dwarf asked Shin, Shin and Scáthach looked at each other and nodded in understanding.
Shin made Scáthach float as She went behind Shin and wrapped her arms around him while Shin Summoned Excalibur held it to the ground and put on of his hands overlapping with Scáthach's.
"Perfect!" The dwarves then immediately began to work as they made a smaller piece in front of them as a guide for the statue later.
"So we're going to be like this for awhile"
"I don't mind" Scáthach told Shin as she kissed his cheeks once more.
"Say Can I also have a statue with Shin?" Jeanne asked the dwarves
"Sure, don't even ask Jeanne and here I thought you wouldn't want it"
"Of course its to represent the faith I have!"
"Whatever you say Jeanne"

"Princess Teressa, King Prihi , the route to trading with the Federation has been secured once more, now they are inviting people from the different cities to come and visit them" A scribe reported
"What? are you sure about this news?" King Prihi asked the scribe.
"Yes, rumors say it was because of the Apostle of Luxuria, The Federation considers him a hero and has erected a Statue in honor of him, the fairies also have aligned with him, but the biggest news is that The Federation now has revitalized the World Tree"
"That means The Federation is safe for awhile and can hold off which leads us into a vulnerable state with Arden Fortress as it's now the weaker of the two since they have a world tree" as soon as King Prihi said that a paper flew in his lap with a letter reading.
'Rip it apart when the Parasites come to your Kingdom or in need of dire help, once you do rip it apart there is no coming back from me, sincerely the Apostle of Luxuria'
King Prihi sighed a breath of relief knowing they would be safe but he looked at her daughter who was curious.
"I believe I must give it you just in case as you are the future of this Kingdom." King Prihi gave it to her daughter who immediately read it, she had a face full of confusion not knowing if she should be sad or happy that he gave them a chance to be helped but she knows what the possible price she must pay.
Teressa then suddenly tore it apart alarming the King.
"What did you just do?" King Prihi was nervous as he knew it was a one time deal.
"I believe its better he help us now and prevent future catastrophe than face the consequences when it is too late, just like you said father we are in a vulnerable state, I do not wish to see Haramak fall because of my hands"
"Then I will believe in your decision" As soon as King Prihi said that a man appeared in black robes.
"Eh? And I was just about to leave this world, so what service would you require of me King Prihi and Princess Teressa?"
Shin bowed and smiled at them as he was ready to make another person fall in his clutches once more.
