D-Dad

Mindscape,

Galahad POV,

"What was....I thinking?" he said slowly, this hurt a lot, a lot lot. It felt like his entire body was pierced and then rebuilt from scratch. Why give away creation for this? Well the Law of Cause and Effect dictates that everything that happens or exists is an Effect and has a point from which it originated, a reason. It defines that reason as the Cause of said Effect and the two together make up the Law of Cause and Effect.

By becoming this Law Galahad had acquired the power to dictate the 'Cause' and the 'Effect', among others. This didn't make him completely invincible but it sure was a lot of power. Galahad thought about all the uses this had, since he had no limits on it either. For example, if he were to dictate 'Breathing' as the cause and 'Death' as the effect then under his authority's range anything that breathed would instantly die no matter how strong it was.

This was the thing about a Law of Existence, because it was a power only under existence itself there was nothing that could ever resist it. This directly made him a reality warper of the highest order though his limitation was that he needed to dictate both cause and effect.

This is because he could simply list the action of kicking a door open as the 'cause' and dictate it's 'effect' as a portal to the realm of the Outer Gods or something, since those things shouldn't be able to leave their void courtesy of Azathoth they would devour anything headed their way. OR if he didn't want to be so elaborate he could assign his finger snap as the 'cause' and the destruction of existence as the 'effect' and it would work too without any kind of backlash.

These were only a few applications of this broken limitless power. It could be used to manipulate minds, create and even destroy without limitations. What he should have gotten was a weaker version of this power that had many limitations but instead he ended up becoming that law, reason being perhaps luck! No other being had tried to interact with it before and as such it was a formless concept, when it noticed him it immediately rushed into him and became him though because it did not have a persona or ego Galahad was the one who came out dominant.

"Master realizes he could have been eaten away?" Raphael asked slightly confused, her Master was someone cautious maybe even paranoid, she never thought he would rush into danger. Galahad slightly chuckled, "N-No.....I had...no idea." he responded flinching, this really did hurt a lot. Raphael nodded, "Raphael sees, Master should get going now. Waking up should help his regeneration." she said, bowing her head as Galahad slowly dissipated away, she didn't want him to suffer just because she wanted to talk a bit.

Galahad nodded his head, his Raphael really was different from Rimuru's. It had that weird way of talking and even identified itself as a female. With that he left his mindscape to go back to the real world, he had had about enough of being stuck in this place especially because he spent six months in constant combat against himself. While it did improve his sword skills a lot he didn't appreciate that much fighting, he was a lazy person after all. And there was also the fact that he didn't manage to get even one five star servant.

Roman Empire,

Capital City Rome,

Galahad POV,

Galahad opened his eyes to see a barrier erected around him as his aura rampaged, he closed his eyes once reeling it back in. This aura was very dangerous because unlike the people from other anime whose auras simply worked as an intimidation factor, the auras of the people from Tensura actually caused physical damage if let free. A walking arch demon could level entire capital cities and more with it's aura alone and that says a lot.

It was only now that he actually got a good look at the room, his maids were trying to attack the barrier in hopes of cutting through it, the dragon lolis were trying to breach it by use of elemental attacks while Shizue was banging on it. Nero was about to deploy her Noble Phantasm to slash it apart. He didn't understand why but then he suddenly remembered it, he looked down at his injured and bloody body before sighing.

Why wasn't it healing up already?! He deactivated the barrier as the attacks headed his way though before they could hit they were reeled back in, they wouldn't even try to hurt their Master! Shizu ran at him, "Dad!" she said crying forgetting that she didn't use that word for him because it was too embarrassing. Mizari appeared next to her holding her back, "Touching him may hurt him. I apologize." she said shortly, he already looked like he was in pain.

Galahad flinched in place with a hand on his chest, t-that was bad for his heart. The wings had already folded themselves but Galahad knew this was going to be a pain, imagine walking around with six 9 ft long gigantic wings each with it's own specific color. All of them were looking at him worried, he had all of a sudden started bleeding all over with numerous wounds on him, if Nero wasn't too busy trying to penetrate the barrier she would have started crying.

She jumped at him tearing up and wrapped him in a hug, "Are you alright?!" she asked worriedly as Galahad silently contemplated something. The four dragon lolis were already gathered around his missing arm looking at it sadly, what had happened to their master? T-They were g-going to....all of them started crying thinking that he was about to die or something.

The Primordials were a bit more reserved, they silently looked at him trying to figure out which motherfucker they had to torture for doing this to him. A green light emanated throughout the room as Galahad started healing up, within the next few moments he was completely back to his usual self though his golden pupils were surrounded by several blue rings for some reason.

He hugged everyone with a small smile on his face, "I'm alright...thank you." he said a bit moved and happy, he might not show much emotion but it felt very nice to know that there were people who cared about him enough to start crying when he was severely injured...even though the injuries were self inflicted.

Shizue hugged him tearing up, she lost her mom, "Please don't die!" she pleaded, she didn't want to lose Galahad too. That would be the saddest thing that could ever happen to her! Galahad slightly laughed and patted her head, "I'm not...dying." he said a bit lazily, it appears he made them a little too worried. Nero looked him up and down, "Are you sure? Really sure right?" she asked hurriedly, checking to see if he was just putting up a strong front.

"M-Master." Arve the expressionless loli was also crying, she didn't want her Master to die! Only after about an hour of explaining that he was perfectly fine did everyone in the room let go of the matter and backed away from him. Shizue who realized that she called him dad backed away with a red face, it was embarrassing!

Galahad looked a little crestfallen at that, he was a doting father after all! She squirmed in place slightly with her hands behind her, "I-Is it alright?" she asked embarrassed, she wanted to do it okay! 70 was a very young age according to Galahad and if he wasn't right then who was?! Galahad narrowed his eyes slightly confused, what was she on about? Nonetheless he nodded while pushing away Nero who still hadn't stopped hugging him.

"D-Dad." Shizue said embarrassed with her words. Rimuru looked at the duo before looking at his own two subordinates, was he watching some kind of domestic drama?! Galahad flinched again and looked away, "O-On second thought....don't. That's bad...for my heart." he said looking away, seriously that was too cute! Shizu giggled at his antics, he had these kinds of moments once in a while.

Rimuru slightly smiled, an annoying prick he may be Galahad was still a good man and definitely a good father. Mizari and Rein looked at each other before silently laughing while the other two Carrera and Testarossa wanted to know who the mother was, by the time they became maids Shizue was already there so they didn't know.

The dragon lolis once more took to nestling in his wings, seriously these were too soft! "Seriously master, you've got some nice wings!" Nevy said laughing from one of his wings. "Well that much is true." Ivra fixed her glasses, these might be the most comfortable things she had touched. Galahad laughed dryly, he just got complimented for his wings.

Rimuru looked at the six wings and shook his head, yeah this guy was a real monster. He walked over to him and looked at him curiously, "So what happened?" he asked curiously, he didn't understand why someone would all of a sudden look like they got thrown into a meat grinder. Galahad scratched his cheek, "I powered up." he said a bit confused about the question.

Rimuru stumbled back a bit, who the hell hurts himself when powering up?! Was this guy an idiot?! He may not be like Milim but he was! There was no way someone would be willing to put himself through that much pain for more power! Rimuru at least wouldn't be able to do it, he wasn't suicidal after all.
