Chapter 168: First Step in Dealing with Reincarnated

I looked wryly at the woman kneeling in front of me. – "Minaris, you do not need to kneel in front of me all the time"

"This is my way of showing respect to the master" – Minaris continued to crouch on one knee with her head lowered as a knight would do when she was in front of her king.

Roxanne looked at Minaris curiously and seemed tempted to kneel so I looked at the dog-eared maid. – "Do not imitate Minaris"

"..." - Roxanne agreed with a little disappointment, she is obsessed with being a loyal slave.

I sighed and let her do what she wants. – "Just tell me the information you know about the Champions, do not focus only on obvious weaknesses, I want to know their personality traits, secret tastes, and personal secrets"

Minaris looked up and it seemed that her gaze was filled with expectation.

It seems that this woman knows the importance of knowing people's information to set up an ambush, I like her.

Minaris began to speak. – "The entire group of Champions are narcissistic and see themselves as invincible existences so they do not pay attention to the environment, but the knights that follow them are not so idiotic, the escorts are elite warriors and are always attentive to any possible assassination attempt so they are perfect meat shields…"

"Among champions, the two hardest guys to kill are 'The Named Slime' and 'The Undead King' since in that group only the two of them strategize when fighting plus they have regenerative abilities that negate instant death..."

"The Named Slime can regenerate any part of his body and will even survive losing his head, but if his head is cut off he will no longer be able to fight until his head can regenerate..."

"I heard that The Named Slime is still human, but he got the regenerative abilities of slime and orcs so his regeneration is weak against fire..."

"The Undead King died in his battle with the Dark Queen several years ago, but before he died he used necromancy on himself, and now he is undead so he is immune to poison, physical attacks, ice magic, and wind magic but it is weak against water, light, fire, and holy magic…"

"The other Champions have mortal human bodies so a heart attack or decapitation is enough to kill them, but should one of them die, 'Restaurant From Another World' will transfer the corpses to 'The Fallen Goddess' location so that they may be resurrected…"

"All the Champions play a role in the group, 'The villain's daughter' is in charge of controlling the army through charm skills..."

"God's Mistake is the one who makes the equipment of the Champions and he was even the one who made the slave collar I was wearing..."

"The Young Devil is in charge of aerial combat and enemy tracking..."

"The Dual-Wielding Black Knight is the strongest man in combat and is the leader of the group..."

"I'm not clear about Looper's function since his ability was never mentioned, but the other Champions refer to him as the second trump card so he must be very strong..."

A well-organized group...

Minaris kept giving me information about the group's personalities, ways of fighting, and personal secrets.

Combining the information from the rabbit girl and Witch I was able to form a psychological profile of the Reincarnated and from this, I can choose which plan to use.

Among the information that Minaris had, there was something that gained all my interest. – "The petrified body of the Dark Queen became a trophy found in the trophy room of the leader of the Champions inside the palace of the Human Empire"

"Those bastards turned the majesty into a trophy..." - Witch muttered under her breath.

Minaris did not react to Witch's words and continued speaking. – "The Dark Queen was petrified by a magical artifact called 'Hero's Sword', a sword that can seal any non-human entity, but can only be wielded by a human with the title Hero…"

"Years ago it was 'The Dual-Wielding Black Knight' who defeated the Dark Queen with that sword because that man's ability allows him to use any sword, but it was only for a short time that he couldn't kill the Dark Queen…"

"I heard that 'The Dual-Wielding Black Knight' will be able to use that sword again in a week and then he can finally kill the Dark Queen..."

I sighed internally, now I understand why the Will of the World is being so permissive with my actions and showing me so much support.

The Dark Queen is one of the pillars of the 'Plot' of this world so if she dies the World will lose a large amount of Destiny Energy which could cause the collapse of the World in approximately 1000 years as the 'Plot' is the engine that makes a world work.

Looks like I'll have to use a more direct approach...

I looked at Witch. – "Contact your allies, tell them to spread rumors that the Northern Kingdom wants to invade the Human Empire to obtain its riches, then start sending merchants to the Northern Kingdom to increase the economic power of that nation"

Witch nodded and looked at me anxiously. – "What will we do with the Dark Queen?"

"She is an important ally who managed to kill one of the Reincarnated" - I smiled. – "We will help her and by the way, we will begin to deal with the Reincarnated"

Witch smiled strangely. – "The Dark Queen is a beautiful woman, you will surely love her~"

I've gotten to the point where a woman's personality matters more to me than her looks, but hey, I'm on a mission to protect that woman so I'll see if I can add her to my harem.

"The Fallen Goddess is the most troublesome person" – I began to think. – "As long as she lives, the other Reincarnates will constantly revive, and although the Undead King can use necromancy on his dead companions, this will weaken the skills of the Reincarnates and destroy their minds so it is not a priority…"

I looked at Witch. – "Do you have a space magic point in the capital of the Human Empire?"

Witch nodded with a smile. – "Yes, it is not near the palace, but we can easily move within the capital"

"If the Reincarnated are not in the capital, can you rescue the Dark Queen?" – This is the most important for my idea.

Witch nodded, but she frowned. – "I can do it, but I will need at least four hours and due to the 'Restaurant from another world' skill, the Reincarnated can return to the capital in a matter of seconds"

"I'll take care of them" – I started planning my fight against the group of idiots.

I'm not sure I can beat them if they fight in a group, but I can distract them for a few hours.

Although a Higher Entity is not necessarily the most powerful entity and can be defeated by powerful natives of a World, a Higher Entity lacks the concept of 'Death', and since the Reincarnated do not have the power to eliminate a Higher Entity even if they manage to destroy my physical body, I will only have to rebuild my body.

I'm an immortal cockroach so I can have a battle of attrition without worrying about dying, though this is really going to hurt...

"This is too dangerous" – Witch frowned.

A black sphere appeared in my hand and I handed it over to Witch. – "If my body is destroyed just place this in the transmutation circle and everything will be fine"

This is just a battery so it won't help me 'revive', but it will keep Witch from feeling anxious.

Based on the experiments I've been conducting to achieve a perfect resurrection and the knowledge I gained from Kon about the reincarnation process, I now understand the best method to rebuild my body.

My physical body is now made up of 100% black blood and since black blood is the physical representation of a spiritual energy, my soul can produce black blood even if my body is destroyed on a molecular level, although the process will be fucking painful...

Witch received the sphere and seemed uncomfortable.

Although we've only known each other for a month, in this time we've become quite close as we spend practically all of our time together conducting experiments to combine my scientific knowledge with her magic.

When I can link this world to my personal world, Witch and Shiguma could be good friends.

Witch sighed and nodded. – "Be careful, it would be depressing if I became a widow as soon as I could find a husband"

I smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek. – "Don't worry, I can be a hero, but I am not an idiot who would sacrifice himself for the good of the world"

"That calms me down" - Witch smiled. – "And what is the plan?"

"Tomorrow all the Reincarnated will meet in this city to meet Seiji" - I smiled. – "It is the best opportunity to distract the heroes while you rescue the Dark Queen, also, this will help me to thoroughly understand the attack patterns of the Reincarnated"

Witch had a sour expression. – "Are you sure it is a good idea that you only face the Reincarnates?"

"The master will not be alone" – Minaris stood up. - "I will help"

Roxanne hurried over. – "I will also help, I will use my life to help the master"

I recognized the look of both girls.

Minaris has serious mental problems that have plunged her into dementia and despair, so she became obsessed with me since I am proving my goal to eliminate the Reincarnated.

It's basically the logic of giving a starving animal a piece of meat and now that animal will faithfully follow the person who helped it.

Roxanne is similar, but instead of madness born of revenge, she is steeped in emotional dependency so that my well-being is her reason for existence.

Even if I insist that the two of them should go to a safe place, they will find a way to escape to try to help me in my fight even if it costs them their lives...

I smiled and patted the heads of both pretty girls. – "You two are cute"

Both girls fell to the ground when I used [Hamon] to force both girls' brains to sleep, but harmlessly.

I sighed. – "Put the other girls to sleep, I don't want them to do something stupid that could put them in danger"

Witch sighed. – "These girls will be furious when they wake up…"

"I prefer that they are angry and not that they are dead" - I shrugged. – "I am a man who was educated in a macho perspective, my duty is to take care of the women in my harem even if it means destroying my body"

Witch sighed again and didn't want to speak anymore.

I sent a message to System Goddess. – "You and Kon will accompany Witch, in case a problem arises you must flee together with Witch, everything else is irrelevant"

System Goddess is very weak in direct combat, but when it comes to escape she could even run away from high-level entities like True Gods, peak cultivators, or Supreme Demons.

Kon hasn't regained her sanity and intellect, but her fighting ability is enough to wipe out a kingdom thanks to her ability to infuse rot and bad luck into his surroundings which is a similar effect to my [Enemy of Humanity] title, plus that she can lead an army of evil spirits and this world is full of spirits drowned resentment and pain.

"It's just us again" – Tsubaki spoke with slight happiness.

Although she's not jealous and she's not bothered by my growing harem either, she enjoys the moments where I can give her more of my attention.

"Together" – Ortro was also happy.

"Hey Listen! Let's beat up some assholes that no one wanted in their past lives and now developed a god complex due to being pathetic creatures who only deserve to receive NTR hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" – Navi is always strangely specific in these situations…
