Start of Aftermath

Let's go back to a few narrations before this.

The more divinity you have, the less fertility you possess.

Gods and omnipotent existences can't help but possess those divinities, so much that it won't allow them to mate with mortals.

But in special cases, some gods managed to bypass the restrictions by controlling said divinity, or outsmarting the system of their powers.

Well, Akihito's reason for seducing Shiraori and... Well filling her up with so much "Love" down there was also a part of his plan aligned with his manipulative personality.

If only Shiraori came to his side, then managing D as a slave would've been much easier.

That, as well as satiating the lust he had built up as a man who live alone with his sister.

"So, why is Shiro-chan... Is naked, Onii-chan?"

With a dreadful aura Hiromi radiates, she asked the Admin who teleported away after the misunderstanding was solved, then comes back with a naked humanoid spider covering herself with a blanket and hugging his arm.

Hiromi popped a vein on her forehead.

But then she finally notices something behind the humanoid spider's blanket.

The whiteness of her skin has never been so white, trailing down her slender legs.

Is that c*m???-- was the only thing Hiromi could think of while cursing silently at the humanoid spider.

"Um... So yeah, I had sex with her."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

And then, in response to the flat, nonchalant face of the admin, Hiromi went to burst:

"EVEN WITHOUT YOU SAYING THAT, I ALREADY KNOW THAT IDIOT"

.

--- Please standby ---

.

"Shiro-chan are you okay!? He didn't force you, right!?" Hiromi exclaimed in worry, even before this they were a good friend.

Hiromi loves to hug the spider despite her appearance and despite not knowing spider language.

And they grew closer in Rimuru's world immediately after the first quest.

Shiraori, in response, shook her head, "No... And, I think I quite like it" The white-haired girl gave her a rare smile.

Her human speech is improving day by day.

And Hiromi smiled back, "I see! Good for you"

That, despite the deepest part of Hiromi's heart we have this:

"YOU B*TCHY SL*T! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE A COMPETITOR!!"

All of that abysmal language was hidden by the mask of a smile.

"I'm sure you're tired! How about taking some baths first?? I'll arrange your room in the guild! Come with me okay???"

And Shiraori smiled, and nodded.

"Hiromi, thank you"

Well, Hiromi could only give a death glare at the admin with red skin shaped like a hand on the side of his cheek.

Despite having still the flattest face, that is...

.

.

.

It's the cardinal world.

Before Rimuru went back to his world, the cardinal world is very quiet.

That's right.

Too quiet... Except for the fact that a certain red-haired devil lord, Guy Crimson, is contemplating his job as the arbitrator of the world.

As well as a certain silver-haired True dragon who complained loudly, Her name is Velzard.

'Tch--! This is driving me crazy!' the dragon thought to herself

Spiritual life forms are currently the highest most-powerful being in the Cardinal world, but there is one more being above that.

In the time-stopped world, physical matter can't move since time is stopped. The concept of force doesn't exist and energy doesn't move.

But information particles transcend space and time. So, spiritual lifeforms can observe a time-stopped world if they use information particles to grasp their surroundings. But they still can't move because matter can't displace.

Digital Lifeforms can move in a Suspended world since information particles transcend space and time.

However, Some of those Digital Lifeforms are currently 4 ancient Lifeforms that existed after the creation of the cardinal world.

That, except for a certain Forgotten Dragon King, they are currently the only ones who can move within the suspended world.

Guy and Velzard made a difficult face inside the ice castle they call home.

Time has been suspended.

Nothing seems to move.

Not a single thing except higher spiritual beings (Digital).

The maids that used to serve them tea and confectionaries aren't able to move.

And even though deep down they are bored as f***, they just can't figure out why the world is in this state.

Who cast the world suspension?

What kind of existence are they?

Why did they suspend the world?

In the first place, only a few powerful individuals are able to stay conscious let alone move inside the suspended world.

They've checked almost everywhere.

The other demon lords who had not awakened were frozen in time.

Ramiris the fairy queen was also bothering Guy, and Milim the dragonoid demon lord also came to the ice continent where only a few individuals can move.

So, a fairy, Dragonoid, True Dragon, and Devil Lord...

"Guy! I'm really booooored! Not only that, my bestie disappeared! Can you believe that!? He just had to disappear when this kind of thing happens!"

That voice was owned by Milim, the Dragonoid with Platinum Pink hair tied in pigtails. Her pouty look compliments her childish appearance despite her skimpy outfits.

"IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN A WEEK, MILIM. WILL YOU STOP WITH BESTIE THIS, BESTIE THAT, YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY!"

Then a small tiny minuscule of light, no... It was humanoid, yet it flies with her wings right and left as her gremlin voice echoes through the whole icy room.

This is Ramiris, the fairy queen as well as one of the ten great demon lords.

"Hah! I know you're just jealous since I have a bestie now and you don't, Ramiris~!"

"What did you say to me!??"

As much to everyone's bickering, Guy Crimson could only rest his head on his hand, "This is troublesome."

He is the arbitrator of the cardinal world, the embodiment of darkness that serves as a balance to the world. He, who make sure human will never become too prideful.

So far... He complained silently to Veldanava whether the forgotten dragon was alive or not: "I didn't get paid enough in the first place..."

.

.

In another world of hunters, Sung Jin-Woo's home world, the war between rulers and monarchs has been suspended once again.

"The Monarch of Beginning... He died!?" Within the darkness, away from the suspended earth, a certain angel that was the embodiment of cruelty freaks out.

This is architect.

The creator of Sung Jin Woo's system.

"It doesn't make any sense... Earth's dimension is basically the only thing that stopped moving... Anyone would be affected if they came to the dimension, but for how long should I keep waiting in this dimension? I need to go to the human dimension right away. This suspension is bothersome."

Monarchs and Rulers are two opposing forces in this dimension. Both were fated to engage in war against each other.

But one of the monarchs stood out the most, he was not a monarch, but a former Ruler. A Ruler who falls in despair from the other Ruler's betrayal of the absolute being. He joined the opposing forces and ultimately becomes a monarch.

And that's when it started.

Shadow Monarch, Ashborn needed to find a human vessel in order to join the war. And Architect was the one who helps him.

By giving Jin Woo the system, he made Jin Woo's body adapt to Ashborn's powers until he will finally become Ashborn himself.

But many things stray away from his plans.

First off, the world got suspended. The concept of matter was stopped, energy does not flow. And then the Monarch of the beginning, one who was imprisoned by the rulers somewhere, was assassinated.

Who was even able to trespass on the dimensions created by the rulers?

Architect let the thought sink in...

"A third party, perhaps?"

Thus, he came to a conclusion.

From all the planets and universes he came across, it's not always a surprise to find some interesting races.

But in the end, he came back to the same question, Who was it?

As for Ashborn himself... He's just waiting silently in his formless body. Waiting for the day his black heart will be granted to his vessel.
