Chapter 13: Time Flies

4 months later*

Year: 1 | Month: 10 | Week: 1 | Day 3: Well, This Is Interesting

(Tokonosu City: Hime's Mansion)

During the few months after the whole Zombie invasion. It didn't last that long since Hime and Sherwood's Royal Family sent an adult royal member, that became a Phoenix and burn down all the Zombies while the Demons from Beelzebub came over to erase all the humans' memories of the Zombies events.

Only a selected few humans were allowed to remember this, and most of them happen to be Saeko and Saya's families, including themselves, while the rest didn't and was replaced with the fact they just had to cancel school due to a killer on the loose and killed students and teachers, along with others and finally been caught.

We made sure none of them do something they may regret just because they wanted to expand a little. There is something that no human; well, the average human should not be related to the supernatural world without getting killed, along with their closest friends and family that may end up getting killed as well.

On the side note; Yoruichi managed to learn the [Outer Body Training Method] from me, but could only use it with me helping her by providing the [Energy Source] for the [Outer Body Training Method]. Otherwise, Yoruichi won't be able to use it less than a minute, which wasn't much time to train. So, we cheated by making me channel my [Demonic Energy] and forming a connection between us, where I can provide the opponents for Yoruichi to face.

In these four months; Yoruichi became one of the strongest fighters among our little group just due to the experiences she gained from facing all the enemies I faced back when I had a [Sea of Souls].

Also, I'm planning to reform a new [Sea of Souls], where I would store away all the [Souls] inside it, rather than the previous version where they rest and waiting for me to summon them and gain access to their [Skills Set].

Which I could still do, since my [Soul] contains all the knowledge of those [Souls] from the [Sea of Souls]. In a way, I'm following Shigure's path, but with a bit of modification like not having to keep on reusing the [Afterlife Border] to summon new [Souls] to fight for me. Plus, I may end up getting a weak [Soul] in certain dimensions. Better have them stored away to be used like a meatshield or something.

Currently, our little group is packing up everything we wanted to bring with us. Since I crafted the [Interspatial Ring]. There was no worry about having to deal with having too much stuff to bring along and worrying about the price to rent a moving truck, to carry our things. Seeing how everyone has their own [Interspatial Rings]. No one had to worry about having to deal with asking the same person over and over again about what they need to take out or put back in afterward when they can do themselves.

I even made sure to modify some [Interspatial Rings] to allow certain people to be able to use it due to some unknown reasons that a person can't use the [Interspatial Ring] at all.

Instead of staying in this dimension; we've decided to travel to other dimensions to see if we can gather allies or just learn new things to help us become even stronger by the time we return to Yoruichi and Serafall's dimension.

Sadly, not everyone is coming with us.

Out of everyone; Pyrrha, Shigure, Artoria, Yoruichi, Serafall, Hilda, Seira, and Hime are coming, with Hime's personal maid tagging along as well, and our babies of course. The rest stayed behind because of unfinished businesses they need to take care of and it may take years before they're finished.

I made sure to give those [Interspatial Rings] as farewell gifts.

So after the first week after the Zombie event occurred and taken care of. We speak the rest of the few months to hang out before my group leaves this dimension to another. However, I made sure to keep up my [Skills] up and use laziness as a way to train myself as well, making it so I would push myself the moment I feel myself wanting to lay down and take a nap or something.

Each time this happens, I would throw myself into my [Soul] and activate the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought] to work on something else like using [Outer Body Training Method] or work on my [Rune Magecraft] to create more [Rune Spells].

After a few times, the girls started becoming a bit concern after Seira told everyone how I'm trying to prevent myself from allowing the laziness to take over and let it a phrase to pass for a new feeling to appear, which I rather not have any time soon.

It was until I explained how I rather have laziness for now because it would be something I could control easily than some other unstable feeling, that everyone stops bothering me about it.

"Okay, did you girls pack everything?" I ask my wives and Asia. "I rather not come back here after we left just because you forgot something."

"I got everything with me, father." Asia smile at me, while she hugging her bible book, which causes me to feel a bit on the edge, but I didn't show it on my face.

"That's good." I nod my head, "Sweety, Asia. Please put that bible in your [Interspatial Ring] please. I didn't make it so you could use it on me, even Serafall, Hilda, and Baby Beel feel uncomfortable right now due to the presence of the [Holy Bible]."

Asia's eyes light up, "Oh! I'm sorry!" Asia quickly put her [Holy Bible] away, which I just finished creating it last night, thanks to the [Soul Fragment] of a supernatural holy priest or the Pope, can't remember whom, while I was in so much pain at the time while making it. Something I created for Asia's protection against anything in the supernatural world, where her [Sacred Gear] won't be much useful for her when battling against the foes without anyone nearby to protect her.

None of the people I called on, said nothing to Asia and just sighed in relief. Well, Baby Beel made some sort of baby version of a sigh of relief and tried to act tough in front of his big sister, Asia, to show it doesn't bother him when it really did and it should since the [Holy Bible] actually hurt me physically, almost causing me to want to quit right away, but I needed to make something for Asia to use. An [Archdemon] making a [Holy Bible], this would have been a big joke if I wasn't the one doing it. 'Ah, the pain was so painful that I find myself wondering if I should learn some [Skills] to counter anything holy-based. Other than using [Renkankei-kikou], and now that I think about it, I could have counted the effects during the process of creating the [Holy Bible] if I had use [Reinforcement] on [Renkankei-kikou].'

"Asia, sweetheart." Serafall places a hand on Asia's shoulder, "Please, please make sure to only bring that out when I'm not around or anything in our family that part of a race-related to Hell. Because it really hurt. A lot." Serafall tries her best to give Asia the best smile she can without making it look terrifying, which wasn't that hard for her.

Asia looks sad and quietly nods her head before Serafall pulls her into a hug while whispering something in the girl's ears about something, that brings Asia's smile back on her face.

"Come on, let head to this new dimension." Pyrrha said to everyone, as she is very curious about what the new dimension they're heading to and wanted to experience it together with her husband and fellow sisters in marriage.

"Why are you so eager to enter a new dimension?" Hime asks Pyrrha with confusion in her voice.

"After Pyrrha and I lost Enma. We did many things to see if it could distract us for a while, and well, Pyrrha ends up taking becoming some sort of adventurer or explorer, to see what the world can offer." Shigure replied to Hime's question while giving a few examples of what Pyrrha made her do while she was a [Persona] at the time.

"I thought she would try to become a master of making chocolate or cupcake?" I look at Pyrrha with confusion since back then, she would always take any chance to eat either chocolate and/or cupcake when it is available for her.

"Yeah, about that." Shigure looks at Pyrrha, who had a forced smile on her face. "She did try her best to be one at first, but the ingredients to make the chocolate and cupcake went extinct after overusing too many natural resources while not waiting for a certain period for new one to grow in or was destroyed somehow and no one was thinking about trying to salvage anything to see if we could regrow the destroyed materials, but people continued to ignore it at the time and by then, it was too late."

"So that's why she went crazy the moment our husband here bring out a chocolate cake one time and Pyrrha just took the entire for herself, even if it means fighting the rest of us for it." Yoruichi said in disbelief, as everyone remembers it happening a few weeks ago.

On that day, Pyrrha went berserk and ready to fight anyone that dare come near her while she was devouring the chocolate cake all by herself.

"Yeah, I went crazy, okay? Can we go now?" Pyrrha quickly changes the topic before Shigure could embarrass her further.

"Alright." I use the [Second Magic] to rip the fabric of space, to open a portal to an entirely new dimension, that may or may not lead us to a parallel version of this dimension or the previous one where I met Yoruichi, Artoria, and Serafall. Along with reuniting with Shigure and Pyrrha.

I didn't feel any resistance when I open a portal this time. This made me very certain that something powerful in the previous dimension I gained my new body must have me there to do something for it.

However, this time. I didn't walk through the portal without being cautious like last time. I should have been expecting any sudden attacks the moment I walked through the portal, but with Shigure showing up, it made my state of mind unstable and almost caused me and everyone's life if we were to enter a dangerous dimension beyond our power levels.

A quick [Concealment Rune Spells] around us before we start walking through the portal once I made sure to place enough [Concealment Rune Spells] to hide from Deities themselves. Who knows if divine beings or demonic beings at a higher level would detect us, so better be safe than regret for multiple lifetimes.

(Unknown Room)

To my surprise and alarm, I found myself in a locked room that has a single bed and a toilet. And what made me very alarmed was that my family wasn't with me.

Contacting Seira through my [Soul], to find out where they are, and once again, I was surprised to find out that I was the only one missing among them, where the rest are just in the middle of nowhere, at some kind of abandoned train yard.

"Ah, Ba!" I blink my eyes and turn my head to the left, to see Baby Beel still clinging to my back, who is looking around in awe, like he just arrived at a fun amusement park.

I place a finger on my lip, to signal Baby Beel to quiet down, which he did instantly.

However, after he did. The screams started to happen around me. Some of the screams were understandable, but I couldn't understand why everyone screaming at each other at the same time.

I close my eyes, then deploy [Ecological Derivation System] on a large scale, which at this point, I could expand it on a city-size scan as my [Soul Energy] is continuing to grow, reaching back to the point when I was fully turned into an [Archdemon] back as Enma Nikos.

Honestly, I shouldn't even be surprised to find out I'm in a prison. But, what I didn't get is why I'm here while the rest were somewhere else.

Wondering if some higher beings in this dimension had interfered with my [Second Magic] and send me here while making sure to send the rest of my family somewhere other than here, for some unknown reasons.

Anyway, the screams started to get annoying for me, but for Baby Beel, he seems to love the sound of screams belong to these prisoners by the way he continues to quietly pat on my left shoulder in excitement.

I blink when I just literally 'see' one of the prisoners just stab another prisoner in the back before dragging them away from public view. Then another transforming their left arm into a giant rock hand to smash a different prisoner for some reason. Just like that, I deactivate the [Ecological Derivation System] and wonder if I have come into a dimension filled with supernatural beings out in the open or if this one of those supernatural hidden prisons for superpower people.

Using a bit of [Prana] to power a [Concealment Rune Spell] onto Baby Beel, to hide him in plain sight. Rather not have someone see him and try to aim for him, or worse, trying to hurt him.

"Hold on tight, Baby Beel." I whisper to the demonic baby before I begin my escape plan, which I've already come up with an outline for one. Well, two plans. One for escaping the manual way, if I could make it possible without anything trying to stop me, which I highly doubt I would be able to, and the other is using [Flash Air].

I tap the steel door with the back of my left hand to see how strong it is with the use of [Structual Grasp].

I raise an eyebrow when I notice this steel door is made out of random things, but with very high tech that would make one go insane from trying to study it. Even with the blueprint I just got from it and how to make it, it still makes my head hurt a bit.

That is where I stop using [Structural Grasp] before giving myself a bigger headache.

Sadly, for the one that made this. These steel doors may be able to hold back these prisoners, but against an [Archdemon]. Not a chance.

Without having to use [Reinforcement] or using [Soul Energy] to enhance my physical strength.

I punch it, really hard.

Sending the steel door flying and hitting the wall just across from me. This stops the screams instantly the moment the sound of a loud explosion happened.

Walking out of the small room I was just in and noticed there were other prisoners nearby, where they are exiting from their rooms.

I sweatdrop when I could have just opened the steel door instead of destroying it. Then again, it may be locked, but I won't know at this point since I literally just destroyed the steel door before finding out and start walking in the routes, that leads to the closest path that I could use to escape this place, but with literally no exit pathway. I had to make one.

Of course, I could just use [Flash Air] to meet up with the others via having Seira send me a mental image of where they are, but I wanted to see why I was sent here in the first place.

A PRISON BREAKOUT! ALL PRISONERS RETURN BACK TO YOUR CELL!*

The sirens activated and this woman's voice started screaming in a loud voice, causing my eye to twitch.

'Okay, maybe I shouldn't have gone for the brute force method and could have just tried opening the steel door if it's unlocked, if not, I could have just used a stealthy method to open it and escape from here quietly.' I thought to myself, wondering if my laziness is affecting my trace of thoughts on my actions, because I could have left this place silently.

Some of the prisoners started screaming at the top of their lungs and started charging in the direction where I'm heading to. However, some didn't act like the rest and stand before me, blocking my pathway, and it happens to be only me. Because the rest continues running ahead, but instinctively moving away from these people standing in front of me.

"I don't know-" One of the prisoners was about to say something to me, but I could barely hear him over the scream of countless other prisoners running near us and I didn't bother to find out who they are.

So I cut the guy off by smacking them away with a slap to their face, sending them flying and crashing into the wall. Not caring about the other prisoners trying to block me. I did the same thing and slap them away like annoying bugs while going at high speed beyond what these people could react to.

Once that's done. I continue on my merry way without a care, but honestly, I decided to keep [Ecological Derivation System] on, but on a small scale, just to be sure I won't get ambushed at some point while leaving this place.

I blink when the walls revealed hidden turrets, which I acted right away by snapping my fingers in the direction where the turrets are, activating my [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] since I'm still wearing my [Iginition Cloth Gloves].

In a matter of seconds, I've destroyed all the turrets, including the walls as well.

This lead to all the prisoners to stop in place and stare at the big gap in the wall with a dumbfounded look on their faces with their mouth open in disbelief.

A few minutes being here and I haven't figured out why I was sent here and once again my laziness was affecting me. So, I just use [Flash Air] to appear next to my family.

(Unknown Trainyard)

"Oh, there you are. I was wondering when you would show up." Hime said to me, trying to act like she wasn't worried at all.

Serafall didn't care about her dignity and jump at me, pushing my head in her breasts.

"Asura! You're here, I was soooo worried!" Serafall cried out in sorrow, but quickly switch into a cheerful one after a few seconds, "I can't wait what we could find in this new dimension!"

Shigure and Artoria didn't say anything and pull me away from Serafall, causing Serafall to narrow her eyes before pouting when both Shigure and Artoria push their breasts onto my head, sandwiching my head between two lovely breasts. Almost causing me to want to take them there and now.

But, this damn laziness continues to affect me, making me want to just stick with feeling their breasts alone is enough.

"Enough, we need to find out what kind of dimension this place is." Pyrrha said to everyone while trying to hide how envy she is for not being able to hug Enma. But, she will have her chance soon.

"I guess I could head off to scout the place." I pass Baby Beel over to Asia, who happily to hold Baby Beel while Yoruichi passes Jomei over to Serafall and Hilda passing both Asuga and Jolicia to their Mothers.

"Didn't you do that already, wherever you were before a few minutes ago?" Yoruichi asks me, wondering why I need to scout out again.

"Well, the previous location I was just at was literally inside a hollowed-out mountain. No clue how someone did that and why. Besides, maybe trying to hide it from the public or something. Plus, I still haven't figure out why I end up a giant prison, but didn't bother to stick around any longer and just left." I answer Yoruichi's question.

"That's kind of reminding me of another place, but I can't seem to remember." Hime said to everyone, like having a giant prison inside a mountain was a normal thing to her.

"Fuga." Flandre said to Hime, causing her to blink her eyes.

"Oh, right. It was the Monster Prison that held all the monster that broke the laws. Pretty sure, anyone sent there are most likely to be sentenced to death." Hime said to mostly herself.

"Meh, the Cocytus, also known as the Ice Hell, is the deepest part of the Underworld that is connected to the Realm of the Dead. It acts as a prison for powerful and dangerous figures." Serafall feels like bragging, "But then again, it also serves as a home to many rare and dangerous creatures such as the Pale Horse. Either way, it a worse place to go."

"How about Enma, Shigure, and Yoruichi scout ahead while the rest of us try to find a place to live until we find anything interesting in this dimension to take with us when we head for another dimension, who knows we may even find new allies?" Pyrrha said to everyone.

"I'm fine with that." Hime agreed with Pyrrha.

"I'm not sure, I would like to tag along, but if those three are heading out. This would leave the rest of us without someone being able to detect any hidden variables nearby. But, I guess I will stay." Serafall didn't really want to stay, but someone got to.

Seeing how Artoria more of a front-on assault fighter than someone like an assassin. Artoria nods her head in Pyrrha's direction, letting everyone know she agrees with Pyrrha as well.

"I'll stick around. Plus, with me around. Everyone here will know what's going on with master's side." Seira knew that she the only that could literally contact their husband instantly without having to wait for a response unless he is a middle of something, which Seira made sure to check on her husband/master first before 'calling' him.

"Well, I'm mostly the one having to watch over the kids. So there's no point of me tagging along with master; well, besides having to worry about the young master." Hilda knew her limit and where she needs to be. Of course, she really wishes to stick around with her young master.

"Then it decided." I said to my family, then take Baby Beel from Asia, who pouts at me for having to take Baby Beel with me. I really wish to find a way to allow Baby Beel to stay away from all the dangers, but all I could do is apply multiple [Defensive Rune Spells] onto Baby Beel to keep him safe and a few [Concealment Rune Spells] as well.

"Let's go." I said to both Shigure and Yoruichi, then start running before all three of us pick up the paces until we start using buildings and boats nearby as a platform for us to use on.

20 minutes later*

"Well, this is interesting." Yoruichi said mostly herself, as she and the others watch what looked like a man transforming into maybe a dragon of some kind and growing bigger in size while breathing fire. Fighting off bugs while a girl in some kind of black bodysuit and mask doing her best to face this transforming dragon person.

"Eh, I face someone that could do the same, but as a giant tiger. Much faster too in transforming. Wonder there some kind of condition this dragon person have to do in order to transform." Shigure said to Yoruichi as neither of the two feels like getting involved in the fight before their eyes.

"I feel like I read something about this before." I tab my chin with my right index finger before driving into my [Soul] to find where I have seen this scene before until I found, but feel disappointed as what I got was an unfinished memory about a web serial call Worm written by an author call Wildbow.

Sadly for me, in my previous life before Enma Nikos. I literally didn't read Worm and only read briefly about it on its wiki page. Along with a selected few characters and their powers. Other than that, I got nothing and I can't really gain much knowledge of this dimension unless I raise my [Second Magic]'s [Rank] to give me the knowledge of that dimension.

So until then, I'm going to go blindly in this dimension and hope for the best. Mostly for my family than the people in this dimension until they join my family or something.

Coming out of my [Soul] and found myself watching Yoruichi just rip off one of Lung? I think that was the dragon person's name. Arm off, then start beating him with it.

Shigure, on the other hand, had a [Katana] at the main character of this dimension's neck. In fact, Shigure even has a [Pistol] place on the poor girl's head.

A quick recall to find out the name of the main character and it was Taylor Hebert, with the power to control bugs. Like all kinds of bugs and make them do whatever she wants them to.

Other than that, I can't 'remember' anything else. I really wished that I had read Worm while I had the chance.

Letting out a tired sigh, then disappear from my spot and appear next to Yoruichi and Lung, with the latter quickly transforming into a dragon, but having a hard time doing so, if it wasn't for Yoruichi continue to rip a limb or two not a second later, then use them as a giant club against Lung. Breaking Lung's scales and the moment something grow too big. Yoruichi would rip it off with her bare hands covered in electrical currents and pure physical strength.

Before I could even help out, Yoruichi bash Lung's head into the ground, causing the ground to crack, not before it got deeper when Yoruichi stomp Lung's head into the ground even more. Yoruichi stomp Lung's head into the ground further with cold eyes until Lung's half-transformed dragon return back into a human one.

"Did you kill him?" I ask Yoruichi, who lost her cold eyes the moment she looks at me. Giving me a gentle smile before looking back Lung's body with cold eyes again.

"Pretty sure he out cold. If you look a bit closer, you would see him regenerating from his injury. But, at a slow rate instead of fast regenerate like before." Yoruichi point to the scatter limbs that started disappearing like they are being melted down.

"Come on, let check on Shigure." I said to Yoruichi, not a second after the last word left my mouth. Both Yoruichi and I appear next to Shigure and Taylor, who is scared for her life.

I tilt my head, then deploy [Ecological Derivation System] and snap my head towards the direction where I found someone looking in our way.

Before they could escape I disappear again at pure speed and appear in front of a group of kids? I can't tell, but I know they not adults yet and dressed up as some sort of costume until I remember they are villains in this dimension, where heroes and villains are a thing, as they dress up and fight each other.

There was a tall male dressed in motorcycle leathers and a motorcycle helmet with a full-face visor sculpted to look like a stylized skull.

Then, there is a male dressed in Renaissance-era clothing, with leggings and loose-fitting shirts. His mask is in the style of a Venetian mask, with an attached silver cornet.

After those two males, there is a girl wearing a Rottweiler mask, heavy jackets with thick fur collars with a hood, heavy boots.

And finally the last one, that's also a girl, who wears a skintight black and lavender outfit. Also, a black domino mask that hides part of her face.

"Now, who are you kids." I look at all four, two girls and two guys, but they stay quiet and trying not to move a muscle.

At the corner of my eyes; I could see 3 weird creatures that the size of a van. On the ground, shaking like a leaf.

I stare at these four for a while before the girl in the black and lavender bodysuit started screaming her head off, as she held her head with both hands, causing the one with the skull helmet to stand in front of the screaming girl as a fog of darkness started to appear.

Sadly for them, I wasn't going to allow them to escape.

Forming a fist, then thrust it to the sky. As I use [Undying Rumble Impacts: Tempest of The Ancient Beasts]. It contains multiple different kinds of [Ancient Beasts' Forces]. Where each time I use this [Technique]. The [Ancien Beasts' Force] in my fist would be different from the previous ones, but of course, I could reuse the previous ones later on if I wanted to.

Each punch unleashes a [Ancient Beast]'s shaped force of [Energy], which is my [Soul Energy]. Creating what looks like some sort of bird of unknown that looks very realistic and vivid just like the real one.

All [Ancient Beasts] accompanied by thunderclaps and crisscrossing bolt of lightning.

I have blown the fog of darkness away like nothing as the [Ancient Bird of Unknown] continues to fly in the sky releasing a screech that causes lightning to appear.

"Please. Stay. We have lots to talk about." I said to the four, with all four shaking in disbelief; well, three of them are while the girl in the black and lavender bodysuit continues to scream in pain.

I roll my eyes at the noise, so I appear before her in the blink of an eye and causing the other three to tense up, too afraid to move to help their friend.

As I create a few [Healing Rune Spells] and slap them onto the girl's forehead, causing the scream to stop, but she didn't stop shaking as she stares at me in the eyes, which was the wrong thing to do for her end if I didn't have my sunglasses on.

However, that didn't stop the girl's face to pale in fear at looking at me.

"Now, how about we have a little chat? Hmm?" I smile down at the scared girl, who close to fainting at any moment, but in those [Healing Rune Spells]. I include one that prevents one from fainting and even stops them from sleeping as well. Forcing her to stay awake.
