Chapter 249: Journey to the Land of Frogs at the Bottom of a Well

Two days had passed since I brought the cultivators to the Ichijo residence which caused various events.

Mr. Ichijo managed to make an agreement with the families of Marika and Chitoge. The three families demanded an explanation from the Will of the World since the Arifureta incident could have caused the death of three heirs which would be a disaster for the political structure of Japan and the United States.

Alaya did not respond directly, but sent a representative to negotiate as the combined power of the three families is not something that can be ignored.

Mr. Ichijo was shrewd and didn't push too hard to avoid a direct confrontation with Alaya, instead, he set up an agreement for the three families to have greater control of their territories as well as set up punishment for cultivators for encroaching on the foreign territory without a valid reason.

The cultivators were returned to China, though I did leave some mind parasites in their souls. When needed I can drive them insane with Haachama's 'Chaos Madness' which will make them frenzied and self-destructive.

This incident also helped to create a better relationship between the three families so my engagement with Chitoge still stands while I now have an engagement with Marika.

The plan to unify Japan through a harem is progressing too well which makes me think that a stupid problem is about to start so I can only prepare for the worst.

On the other hand, Chitoge already knows that Seiji and Luis are the same people since I 'told her' during the illusionary dream.

At first, she was furious with me for hiding the truth from her, but then she was relieved as her heart was conflicted being in love with two people, Seiji and Luis.

She won't want to talk to me for a few days, but she already agreed to be part of my harem so everything is going smoothly, the only thing that worries me is that Claude and the other members of Bee Hive Gang haven't tried to assassinate me so they must be preparing something very annoying.

Anyway, for now, my love life is not the most important point but what happens in political matters.

Mr. Ichijo was furious at the cultivators' attack as this is a spit in the face of the Ichijo family and all of Japan.

My boss did not lose his rationality and did not act recklessly, but began a long negotiation with the Chinese government to demand compensation.

The Tachibana family is focused on politics so they put pressure on the Chinese government on the grounds that this is a military invasion on foreign soil.

Bee Hive Gang said that this incident affected their business and commercial ties with Japan, so they will make an economic claim.

The Ichijo family will say that this endangered the lives of two Guardians which will create conflict between the Chinese government and the cultivator sects.

Politics, economics, and supernatural forces, the Chinese government's compensation will be in three problem areas.

While all this is going on, I have a mission.

I am going to China to cause internal problems and destabilize the supernatural forces.

Mr. Ichijo told me that my actions must be discreet since I won't be able to use my Administrator Authority in the middle of enemy territory, but I have plans of my own.

For starters, I'm going to kill the jerk who put Senko's life in danger even if it brings me into direct conflict with the government.

It's stupid to leave potential dangers so I'll root out the problem even if I have to cause a world war.

My second goal is to investigate the origin of the goddess within Lin Ruoxi since [Paranoia] warned me that the situation with that goddess is something that could become a threat to all of Gaia and it's even possible that Beast VII is involved.

(Author's Note: Li Ruoxi from My Wife is a Beautiful CEO)

By the way, I can already say the name of that entity without risk of being discovered, she is called U-Olga Marie.

With my enhanced skills in [Reader's Madness], I thought to extract information from the second human soul inside Lin Ruoxi, but she is too weak and the slightest contact with my skills can kill her by accident, for now, I can only keep her restrained with [Anti- Rasen] and look for her daughter.

I have no evidence, but I'm sure this shit is the fault of the plot armor to force me to get involved in something very stupid. Shit author.

Anyway, I spent the last few days talking to my harem about the business trip I'm going on, plus I left various space marks on their bodies to prevent any stupid accidents from happening while I'm in China.

Thanks to Abby and BB's skills I can get back to Japan in less than a second to deal with any problem plus I put space marks on my wives to take them to the Rasen Dimension in case of extreme danger, so they will be safe even if it appears an entity at the level of Azathoth.

A pleasant surprise was that Mr. Ichijo got me a privilege from the Will of the World.

Since I'm a Hero, it's not uncommon for me to have familiars or companions from another world.

Before I was allowed to bring my companions as long as they hide their identities and don't cause trouble, now they can also help me fight in case I get involved in a fight against supernatural entities.

As long as I don't strike first, I'll be justified in summoning a group of goddesses to destroy my enemies. I plan to use Angeloids as the main combat partners within Gaia as it is not uncommon for Angels to work alongside a Hero.

I called Umaru to tell her I'm going on a trip and left enough food for her to stay home for a year, even though I'm only going away for three weeks.

She replied that it's no problem and I just have to get back safely, although she mentioned that recently our mother has been acting strange as if her mind is in the clouds, she also keeps muttering Seiji's name...

I definitely won't be going home for a long time.

For this mission, I will be Lin Ruoxi's bodyguard using the identity of a young Chinese man named 'Lu San'... I know, I have no creativity.

The Ichijo family has many records of false identities so I easily became a freelance 19-year-old mercenary, there are even records of my supposedly successful missions which gives credence to my identity.

On this trip, Lin Ruoxi will take the staff of her company back to China to retake control of her company's main headquarters since there were problems during the time she has been away from it.

Apparently, some assholes have been taking advantage of my wife's absence to line their pockets at which my wife is furious.

Since there are several people who return to China, Xiao Bai will accompany me while she pretends to be Lin Ruoxi's assistant.

(Author's Note: Xiao Bai from My Beautiful Teacher)

Although Xiao Bai is not that strong, she is talented and stubborn so she managed to withstand the spiritual and genetic enhancements, now she is at the level of an elite warrior of this world. She's not a decent level, but she's enough for a bodyguard.

Now Xiao Bai is doing her last round of training to get used to using a spatial movement artifact created with the materials of Paradise and Abby's skills.

Although my organization has not yet been officially created, I already have artifacts comparable to the treasures of large groups thanks to the union of the resources I have accumulated and the joint efforts of System Goddess, Shigure, Shiguma, Daedalus, and Miledi.

Leaving the context aside, I already have almost all my preparations ready, now I just have to prepare one last thing.

"All set senpai~" – BB spoke with a big smile.

Right now I'm in a pocket dimension created by Abby. This place is out of Alaya's sight so I can do whatever I want here.

Navi joked that now I can abuse lolis without being discovered by the UN of the multiverse, the problem is that BB confirmed that this is true… The multiverse is absurd.

In fact, if it wasn't for me putting up [Anti-Rasen] wards when I was with Yue and Arisa then the UN of the multiverse would really have sought me out to lecture me while remaining passive and useless.

I insist, the multiverse is ridiculous.

I sighed and focused on the ring in my hands.

The robots Gurren Lagann and Granzeboma stood behind me as they stretched out their arms to channel the two forms of spiral energy into my body.

Although I only have 89% control of [Rasen] and [Anti-Rasen], the support of the two giant robots gives me help in focusing the best abilities of both energies.

[Rasen] has the power to create and strengthen matter based on willpower. As long as you believe something is possible then it will be possible.

[Anti-Rasen] maintains the natural structure and functioning of all things. Everything has an order.

In general aspects, [Rasen] represents the chaos born of freedom while [Anti-Rasen] is the order born of authoritarianism.

I've said it many times, but I emphasize this as it's important to what I'm doing.

The gold ring in my hands is not the ring that my system gives but an artifact created by the abilities of my most intelligent and talented wives in the creation of artifacts.

This is a high-level Contract that is enhanced by the two spiral energies.

[Rasen] makes it possible to suppress a power that is theoretically impossible to suppress while [Anti-Rasen] negates the possibility of the power going out of control.

I am denying the possibility of something totally possible while making possible the impossibility of the same possibility.

I know it doesn't make sense, but the explanation would be very long so I'll give an example using the paradox of 'What would happen if an unstoppable force collided with an immovable object?'.

[Rasen] makes it possible for the immovable object to be moved while [Anti-Rasen] makes the unstoppable force stop.

This generates a new paradox, 'What would happen if a stoppable force collides with a moveable object?'

The answer is that the object will move at the same time that the force will stop, so both probabilities cancel at the same time that they are fulfilled, making the paradox cancel itself since now it is only an obvious and clear fact.

It's basically an 'Everything happens at once so it's as if nothing happened'.

In short, this ring makes all the probabilities counteract each other so that in the end all the probabilities become useless, only one specific and totally predictable result remains.

Why do I do all this nonsense shit that I pretend makes sense?

Simple, it is the wedding ring that I will give to the girl who sleeps peacefully in front of me.

[Name: ...... Azathoth / Van Gogh ...… ........ (Error)

Origin: ...…. Fate/Grand Order ... (Error)

Categories: ...… Error error error error ...….. error .....]

She has no defensive skills to protect her information, but my soul almost broke when I analyzed this girl for the first time, she is definitely a monster.

On the other hand, the fact that she has the same name as the painter who ate yellow paint makes me question the mentality of the authors when creating characters...

Why does everything have to be a pretty girl or a beautiful woman?

Whatever…

Anyway, the cultivators finally managed to put Aazthoth to sleep, I'm sure right now they must be investigating what went wrong since this girl isn't locked in a vault.

Azathoth is sleeping soundly right now as she has a nice dream that I prepared for her to trust me.

Again, brainwashing is boring, but there was no other way to get this girl into my harem.

If it wasn't for her being sound asleep and at peace, her energy would have already started to affect her surroundings which would have severely damaged my soul.

Aazazthoth is currently experiencing a dream where she defeated the cultivators and we got to meet.

Due to love at first sight we both got engaged and left the Immortal Eternal Heaven to live in peace.

She had no problem with me having a harem, she just hopes that I never feel bored or disgusted with her and can always stay by her side.

To think that the strongest Outer God is a depressive girl in need of affection… I insist, this argument is ridiculous.

In general, everything sounds corny and stupid, but the ideal dream of this girl is that someone loves her without judging her.

Thinking about it another way, it's a bit depressing.

She is one of the most powerful entities in the multiverse, but her only wish is that someone could love her.

By the way, she prefers the name Gogh so I'll call her that from now on.

"Senpai, stop your internal monologue and ends the ring" - BB smiled wryly as she tried not to show the pain she felt.

Abby, Nyaruko, BB, Chiyo, Haachama, Kuuko, and Ortro are using their own Paths of Madness to prevent the 'Distortion Madness' from destroying this pocket dimension.

Nyaruko also brought out a group of Amorphous Pied Pipers to ensure that Gogh stays asleep. These Pied Pipers are used to Gogh's energy so they won't die quickly, although they are artificial entities so we just have to build more of them when they die.

I finally finished forming the anti-paradox in the ring so I approached Gogh.

I held Gogh's hand as the golden light constantly rebuilt my body, just touching her caused my body to disintegrate without a trace.

I put the ring on her right ring finger as in her dream she swore to stay by my side forever.

Even if it is a dream, that oath is valid to establish a Contract. This is a tactic normally used by dream demons or succubi.

The Contract on the ring activated causing the spiral energy to suppress the destructive effects of the Distortion Madness.

This isn't enough to completely contain Gogh as she could break free of this Contract by force if she really wanted to, so I made it into a wedding ring, that way she wouldn't want to take it off.

This doesn't mean Gogh is now weak, the ring is so she can regulate the amount of energy she releases and suppress dementia attacks.

If Gogh learns to control her power, she will no longer suffer from her power destroying her own body and will be much stronger.

Nyaruko said that I am crazy to help Gogh become stronger, which is true since Navi supports this idea.

Maybe my strength can never surpass this girl, but I don't care, the strong can waste their time fighting while I relax with their women.

"Ugh, my head hurts…" - BB fell to her knees as she gasped. – "Now I know why senpai is a bitter man, the migraine is horrible…"

"This is more exhausting than a Borut0 marathon" – Nyaruko was lying on the ground while her body was covered in sweat.

"Borut0 is garbage" – BB sneered.

"Yes, that's why it's exhausting" – Nyaruko nodded.

"Shut up for a moment… I want to sleep…" – Abby yawned with extreme exhaustion.

"Senpai, don't let the loli fall asleep" – BB sighed. – "The Ancient Ones and Outer Gods are heavy sleepers so if she falls asleep she may not wake up for a couple of centuries"

That would be a problem...

I picked up the sleeping Gogh with a big smile, walked over to Abby, and touched her leg with my foot to use [Hero's Martyrdom].

For an Outer God, fatigue is similar to a mental wound and this skill can absorb physical, mental, and spiritual wounds.

My migraine increased to a still tolerable level so it doesn't matter.

I absorbed all the women's injuries making my head feel like it was going to explode, but again, this is already normal.

Chiyo approached me with a worried expression. - "Are you okay? Do you want to sleep on Onee-san's lap?"

I smiled wryly as I made sure Gogh was comfortable in my arms. – "I'm fine, anyway, I can't sleep, although I'll do it later"

I'm the only Outer God who can't use the Dream Realm to ease my migraine, how depressing.

"Don't worry" - BB smiled. – "Senpai is a masochist so a little migraine doesn't matter"

My lip trembled. – "I am resigned to suffering while a masochist enjoys suffering"

"Hey Listen! The tsundere dog is a sadist and masochist!" – Navi appeared next to me.

"Senpai can be both, he has multiple personality disorder, or dissociative personality" – BB smirked at me.

"It doesn't matter what your fetishes are" – Chiyo smiled at me. – "Your Onee-san will always love you~"

Abby tugged at my sleeve to get my attention. – "Abby is a good girl, but if you want, Abby can be a bad girl…"

…

"Pffffffff ahahahahahaha loli is going to whip you with a leather whip!" – Nafvi fell to the ground laughing.

"Wh-Wh-Whip?!" – Abby blushed like a tomato, although it is worrying that she seems to like the idea.

I sighed. – "Abby, do not be corrupted by these idiots"

Abby didn't hear me, her mind is lost in a place I don't want to know.

This is shit...

[System Notification: The energy 'Reader's Madness' has created the skill 'Masochism (100%)']

[Masochism: I want a milf to sit on my face!

When the user is in any kind of pain (physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual), the pain can be converted into energy to power other abilities. There is no limit to the amount of power that can be added to skills, but too much power can decrease skill control.

Warning: Using this skill can lead to pain addiction (Effect negated by the 'Obsession' stat)]

…

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WELCOME TO THE CLUB HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Mythomania, Paranoia, Schizophrenia, Sadism, Dissociative Identity and now Masochism... It seems that senpai needs a psychiatrist, but don't worry senpai, I love you even if you are a yandere pervert with no culture~"

"Oh, he's like a deranged version of a generic protagonist who uses the deadly sins… He's so uncreative that he deserves to be a system user, hey, what's next? An eating disorder? Depression? You look like you're about to develop burnout, or maybe a sexual disorder focused on lolis…"

…..

If it wasn't for the fact that I have to take care of Gogh, I would have liked to hit these idiots...

"Hey bitch, start moaning like the masochistic bitch you are hahahaha!"

Fine, these idiots asked for it.

I sighed sadly. – "It is depressing that you make fun of me"

"Huh? What's with that pathetic reaction?" – BB was confused without noticing two people behind her.

"I have a bad feeling" – Nyaruko tilted her head in confusion.

"Fucking tsundere dog aaahhh! I'm not a fucking chew toy!"

"Wait, I was just curious! I wasn't making fun of him!"

"Senpai is so cruel to BB-chan! *Real crying because that hurts, damn it*"

"Don't bother friend….."

"You damned bastards made my little brother sad..."

"The master called me..."

Kon hadn't shown up here in a while.

"Your methods are funny" – Haachama sat next to me while she ate some strange ramen with spiders.

I shrugged. – "The methods do not matter, only the results"

"Nyaruko…" – Kuuko wanted to help Nyaruko, but she also enjoyed seeing the girl's panicked expression so she didn't get involved.

"Should I hit them too?" – Abby asked me innocently.

I smiled and stroked her hair. – "Don't worry, do you want a cookie?"

Abby nodded happily.

So we relaxed while the three idiots were chased by three angry women.
