Chapter 177: The hypocrite has another identity

I make myself comfortable in the carriage while amused by the look of jealousy Setsuna is giving Shijou.

The reincarnated with spatial movement ability was clinging to my arm refusing to let go.

This woman's willpower was completely destroyed and she was only kept alive due to the instinctive desire to live, so when I gave her even the slightest sense of security, she became totally dependent on me.

I even introduced her to Ortro already, and even though Shijou fainted when she learned that the Evil God lives inside my body, her fear for Orthus is less than her dependence on me.

With the experiments I did with the soul of Looper, I discovered that the heroes and reincarnations who obtained skills from Paradise have a mark on the surface of their souls with which they can be traced by the entities of Paradise.

Although it is easy to remove that mark, the side effect is that the chosen ones will lose their special skills.

Even though it's a waste of Shijou losing her skill 'Isekai Sushi', having been in contact with a unique skill caused her soul to gain great innate talent for spatial manipulation skills so after losing her unique skill she easily got a basic spatial manipulation skill which could connect to my skill [Stand: Libera Me From Hell] because I included her in my harem and the women in my harem can connect to some of my skills.

Now Shijou helps me control the Rasen Dimension so with some training she will be able to wield spatial manipulation ability comparable to a Higher Entity focused on dimensional travel.

Without a doubt, Paradise did me a great favor by endowing the Reincarnated with talent.

Imerda is helping my commanders to increase the morale of the army by making even newly recruited soldiers loyal without fear of dying while Shijou is my new means of space transportation. I will give a suitable gift to those entities for such valuable gifts, perhaps an antimatter bomb...

Because of all this, Shijou is very important, and that's why I'm worried that Minaris is trying hard to hide her murderous intentions against Shijou.

I sighed and pushed Shijou away making the girl pale in fear, her mind completely broken.

I smiled gently. – "Keep studying the book that Witch gave you, if you are diligent with your studies I will spoil you later"

Shijou reluctantly nodded and took out a book of her new spatial storage ability, then began to read with a level of concentration comparable to university students who study until they develop burnout, this girl lives up to her Japanese origins.

Blindly relying on unique skills becomes a weakness as you never know if an entity capable of sealing those skills will appear in the same way as System Goddess can lock down systems for a few seconds or the way now [Anti-Rasen] me allows to restrict the skills of other entities as long as a contract is established.

In order to avoid unpleasant situations where Shijou can't use her unique skill, she is studying space magic and is quite diligent in her studies.

I looked at Minaris and smiled wryly, moving my lips soundlessly so as not to draw Shijou's attention. – "Do not hurt her, I am serious"

Minaris let out a soft sigh of resignation and nodded.

Her hatred against humans and Reincarnations is intense, but the positive side for her is that I will not add 'The Fallen Goddess' to my harem, that woman went completely crazy and built a harem of handsome men.

If a woman wants to enjoy her sexual life with freedom it is not my problem, there were even times when I have slept with nymphomaniacs with many lovers, but since my one-night stands are over, I will not be with women who are in a relationship polygamous, I'm the only one allowed to have a harem.

Since I'm bored with traveling by carriage, I motioned for Setsuna to sit on my lap, then started playing with her wolf ears.

"If master wants it, we can do something more fun~" – Setsuna lightly shook her hips seductively.

I smiled wryly and used my hands to run over her lovely body.

Since she is dressed in a maid uniform, I could easily caress her thighs after slightly lifting her skirt.

"Are you sure?" – I whispered in her ear. – "We are almost in the city and everyone could hear you, after all, you are very noisy at night"

Setsuna shuddered.

Although she is a pervert who doesn't mind having sex in public places, she feels disgusted at the thought of other men hearing her moans. A lovely girl.

I stopped teasing my pretty maid and gently hugged her waist. – "First let's find where we will stay, at night I will pamper you"

Setsuna's body twitched as a subtle musky scent came from inside her skirt, this girl is a pervert.

As our carriage approached a human city, I made my body change into the appearance of a 25-year-old man with a healthy but not muscular body, something more like a scholar exercising in his spare time.

Although this world has been developing technology comparable to Umbrella, this technology is limited to the capitals of human nations so a border city like this still has a level of civilization comparable to the middle ages.

To maintain the image of a wandering merchant, I prepared a caravan with four carriages which will make me look like the son of a noble family who is on a journey to start his own business for fun.

I changed Shijou's appearance so she, Setsuna, and Minaris are my personal maids while the guards escorting me are twelve human soldiers from my personal world.

These twelve soldiers are martial artists who have had multiple genetic enhancements so each one is the equivalent of Wesker with Apachai-level martial arts knowledge.

When we arrived at the entrance to the city, my escorts bribed the guards to avoid an inspection of the carriages so that we could enter with ease.

Once in the city, I released a few drops of black blood that turned into flies, ants, and cockroaches to start moving through the alleys.

Now that Ortro can act independently from me, she can do many tricks with the black blood, like creating millions of insects that serve as surveillance cameras, the only problem is that if the insects move more than 10 kilometers away from Ortro then they will turn into lifeless liquid.

My caravan headed to the most luxurious hotel in the city and I easily got a deluxe room after paying several gold coins.

Even though I am now the owner of two worlds with immense wealth, I still cling to a thrifty mindset where I hate wasting money on stupid things, but the more flashy my actions are, the higher the chances of meeting a hero as heroes feel innately attracted to situations where they can flaunt their skills, and nothing better than fighting a millionaire man with an arrogant personality.

From what I've researched from my own hero title, I discovered that heroes have a passive ability that allows them to become stronger through fame and recognition.

It is something similar to [Nakama Power] energy and this is why heroes are a valuable resource for Higher Entities, they are Karma-favored soldiers similar to protagonists with the difference that a protagonist can only fight in his own world while a hero is strong in any world.

In fact, lately, I feel like my strength has grown a bit as the Inhumans revere me as the hero Seiji.

It's sad that I can't use Faith Energy since I'm an Outer God and not a True God, but at least Kon is harnessing that faith.

Once at the inn, I had two of my guards go out to find information about the situation in the human territory.

Although my blood bugs can get information, they can only see and hear what people say, so if no one explicitly mentions the heroes, then I won't find any information.

After arranging my things, I went out for a walk with Minaris, Setsuna, and Shijou.

Before leaving I ordered the three girls to show looks of sadness and resignation as if they hate being with me while I put on an arrogant expression.

Although the Inhumans are being exterminated in the capitals, in the outer cities there are still many inhuman slaves so it's not strange if two of my slaves are inhuman, although the appearance of the three girls is very striking so many men looked at me with hatred and jealousy, although everyone kept silent as I am being escorted by five intimidating men with strong killing intent.

Since I promised Fleonell that I will try to save as many Inhumans as possible, I headed to the slave market.

As I walked towards the slave market, I noticed a striking smell.

My sense of smell has evolved to the point of allowing me to track the scent of souls making it an excellent tracking ability.

People from this world have a different scent from humans from other worlds, for example, the Reincarnated have a particular smell that I can't describe in words, but to make it more understandable I can say that they smell like Japan.

One more thing, since the multiverse is infinite not all Japanese are from Gaia so even if I bring the Reincarnates with me, Gaia will still treat them as foreign entities.

The slave market is a huge building comparable to a classical opera house.

My attention was focused on the entrance of the building where a 16-year-old boy with black hair and a slim body was standing.

The teenager seemed about to enter the building so I walked past him after giving him a disdainful look since his outfit was a plain black cloak only suitable for low-income adventurers and explorers.

When I walked past him, his gaze was fixed on Setsuna, Minaris, and Shijou.

[System Notification: The skill 'Mythomania' has blocked an appraisal skill]

[System Notification: Through the bond of the harem, the skill 'Mythomania' has managed to protect the information of 'Shijou Yukiko', 'Minaris' and 'Setsuna]

[System Notification: The title 'False Antagonist' has negated the plot armor of the entity 'Kanon']

This asshole must have had his eyes on my maids and therefore sees me as his enemy since it's obvious that I have these girls with me by force.

Stupid protagonists who think they have the right to do whatever they want just because they think they're special.

I kept walking as if I hadn't noticed the idiot's actions.

The idiot kept walking without showing any hostility, but he's probably planning to snatch my maids when we're not in a public place.

Once inside the premises, the idiot was greeted by a fat man while a beautiful woman approached me with a charming smile.

Since displaying wealth makes me look like a better customer, it's normal for me to get preferential treatment.

"Nice to meet you sir, today we will have a special auction so the sir arrives at an excellent time" - The woman spoke in a professional manner while she slightly brought her shoulders together to accentuate her breasts.

I kept my smug expression and spoke like a pretentious idiot. – "I hope that my visit to this place is not a waste of time"

The woman nodded with a smile and led me to a private seat for the auction that was about to begin.

The idiot named Kanon was in a corner acting as a social misfit, I think he thinks he looks cool but he just looks like a stalker.

Let's see… One, two, three… Eight Japanese are in this auction.

Something very important must be happening in this auction if the 'Plot' brought several heroes to one place, especially since the 8 Japanese do not seem to be working together.

Well, let's see what interesting things are happening.

Author's Note:

I know nobody cares, but the hero Kanon is from the manga Tensei Inja wa Hokusoemu.

I would appreciate it if you can recommend isekai manga that can be read in 10 minutes just to increase the list of heroes~

Anyway, a hug <3
