Chapter 113 - Kuroinu 13

Eostia

Serenus Continent

An hour away from Thorn Fortress

Erix unexpectedly made himself a deity within Eostia that worshiped Kaguya and the Miko. He wondered if it's the present or past him but Erix was currently an amalgamation of contradiction therefore it doesn't matter. What matters is that he was going to enjoy having Miko his harem.

"I couldn't believe that you're not only a god of another world but also a god here?" Alicia was shocked since they worshiped the goddess Larentia and Celestine was believed to be the incarnation of the goddess.

"Ah yes, well, technically, it's just an avatar, a point of view. It's rather difficult to explain. Shuushin, the God of the End, is part of me."

Erix saw these parts of him as an offshoot of his true power and can still consider himself. At the moment, he was currently at a carriage few kilometers away from Thorn Fortress that is governed by Kaguya and her fellow Miko who devoted themselves to Erix or Shuushin.

"You have quite the weird hobby to make them save their Chastity this long." Olga teases her, finding it difficult to let those women remain a virgin this far.

"Hey, that Me likes women and booze also don't forget I'm quite greedy and demanding when it comes to women." Erix closes his arms, taking a sip on his Sake as he is currently wearing a Yukata.

"That outfit is amazing on you, Erix-sama."

"You're drooling Prim."

Alicia pointed out as her little cousin quickly wiped her lips feeling thirsty looking at Erix's appearance making him chuckle.

"Slaanesh, making them aroused. You know I don't have sex if I don't want to." He warned Slaanesh who shrugged it off, putting her attention to their children.

"I wonder if it's alright to leave Isabella with the maid…" Albedo suddenly felt worried for her daughter who currently remained at the central axis world.

"It would be fine, Nee-san. I doubt anyone would have the power to even cause trouble in our lord's empire." Jibril reassured her before rubbing her belly.

"Still I can't wait until this week is over then I can finally spoil my child!" She is currently pregnant with her majesty's child and Prim and Alicia rubbed their belly as well.

"It's strange that I'll be a mother within a week. Though I would love to carry my child for nine months, it does save some trouble with morning sickness." Alicia said thinking how quickly her child was growing.

"I can somewhat understand, normally, we would only get pregnant through ritual since they are no male dark elf." Olga said carrying her son who would be the first of many male dark elves.

"I'm sure common sense doesn't apply to our husband."

Chloe glanced on her fingers that had rings gifted to her by Erix like everyone who had shared a bed with him. Albedo and Jibril frowned hearing this but stopped by Erix since they were getting angry at his behalf since they were too zealot at times.

"I wonder how you'll be able to be there when your children are born back at the Feoh Fortress." Alicia thinking about how unfair it would be for the other woman back in her fortress wouldn't have Erix with him.

"Don't overthink, I am already there." Erix said, confusing Olga, Chloe, Alicia and Prim. They know he could create portals and be extremely powerful but never understood the scope.

"What do you mean?" Prim asked and Erix rubbed his chin.

"Well, it's rather complicated to explain but let it put simply, you know how death exists no matter where?" They nodded and Erix continued.

"Well, I am similar where I can anywhere, I am in your mind, I am in your heart, I am everywhere, be it past, present or future but I can choose if I should be in that place or not." Erix said watching them still confused and shook his head.

"Forget it, just know I have a plan on how to handle things. I am not too keen on not taking responsibility." He said taking another sip while they gave up and simply chatted about a different topic.

"That aside, would you like me to give you similar clothes?" Erix asked and they quickly shook their heads.

"It would be great if we could buy some in Thorn Fortress." Prim said everyone agrees with her idea of quality times.

"Oh that's a great idea." Erix nodded, imagining them in different sexy Kimonos and Yukata.

"Right, when will we have the chance to see your empire?" Chloe was curious to see how different it is compared to their kingdom and human kingdom.

"Once I'm done handling Kuroinu. Hmmm, I think we're here." He said as everyone looked upon the window to see a western fortress and Erix could feel the connection at the place.

They didn't take long to arrive at the entrances and Alicia handled the talking, managing to convince them to have a meeting with Kaguya.

Erix could see the people outside doing trade and having busy days unaware of what's to come. He folded his arms thinking and eventually arrived at the stairway towards the main palace.

He stepped out and the moment he did made the people feel their heart pulled. Everything began to feel serene and harmonized with the guard who couldn't help but feel the urge to kneel.

Alicia and those native in Eostia were in awe at the fact his influence made them compelled to kneel. Albedo, Slaneesh and Jibril nodded in approval that they unexpectedly kneel down.

"W-Who you may be?" The guard nervously asked to experience a sudden joy in his presence with Erix smiling at this.

"Before that, I wish to have an audience with your Miko." Erix said as the guard looked up meeting the scarlet king's gaze and immediately did as told.

==========

Eostia

Serenus Continent

Thorn Fortress

Palace, Kaguya's living quarters.

Inside one of the rooms was a beautiful pale-skinned young woman who had brown eyes and short black hair with a small white ribbon on each side. She wears a top red kimono with two long white transparent shawls that reach to her lower legs, a fudonshi, white stockings and red sandals.

She also wears an ornament crown on her head that is shaped like a sun. In addition, in her redesigned attire, she wears a pink hakama that covers her lower body and reaches to her feet.

This woman was Kaguya, the governor of the "third fortress" assigned to her by Celestine Lucullus in the kingdom of Rad in the land of Eostia and chief priestess among those who worship a strange god named Shuushin, the God of the End.

Truthfully, it was supposed to be Tsukuyomi but Erix or rather Shuushin killed him and took the authority due to the people who once worship him were left unsatisfied where there cries for help had coincidentally lured the offshoot of Erix creating Shuushin, the God of the End, Destroyer of Suffering, Bringer of Peace.

What happened to Shuushin? Well, it simply vanished after it fulfilled it's duty and gave the people his rules of wine and woman devoted to him knowing his other self will arrive.

'This feeling! Why do I suddenly feel more comfortable and at peace!?'

Kaguya left puzzled as she was praying to a statue of a person with four arms and horns that was shot upward having red skin and black hair.

She stared at it that seemed more alive than before and felt mesmerized only interrupted when loud footsteps were heard.

"Kaguya-sama!" A voice was heard and she was confused why the sudden urgency.

"What's going on? Did something happen?" Kaguya asked if it was rare for people to act this way within the Palace. The wooden door slid open as one of the other Miko stared at her panting and sweating.

"It's Lady Alicia and Lady Prim, they had brought guests that included the Queen dark elf, Olga and her subordinate Chloe along with three women that were clearly not human but the most shocking is that the man they brought…He looked exactly like Lord Shuushin!" The Miko said as Kaguya widened at the revelation turning to the statue then back at Miko.

"Are you certain?" Kaguya calmly said since it would be blasphemy to have such a claim unlike Celestine's situation where she never claimed to be the incarnation of the goddess but people simply led to believe it.

"Besides appearing more human and having scarlet hair like crimson hue of blood and eyes bright like ruby then, yes he appeared to have the same figures and we could feel the presence of our god from him."

The Miko was overjoyed having seen his face and felt her heart's string pulled thinking how she was now fated to be with someone who's features are beyond human.

Kaguya decided to see for herself if it was true or not and for what reason did her fellow princess knight had brought their mortal enemy.

"Alright, lead the way." She said standing up and followed Miko feeling a sudden weight gushing into her heart when she slowly approached the main hall to meet this person.

Kaguya arrived to find the people that Miko mentioned glossing over those she knows and landed on two women that had black and white angelic wings with the latter having a halo hovering over her head.

Another woman who looked epitome of beauty and allure then her eyes stopped at the man currently being served by the Miko with sake sitting in carefree manner as if he owned the place and none tried to apprehend him instead stood looking indescribable joy.

The man stopped when his gaze laid on Kaguya causing her to flinch as if nothing could be hidden from him.

"I presume you are Kaguya?" He spoke in a deep baritone voice and Kaguya nervously nodded, taking a seat in front of him with the other Miko close by.

"Yes, may I ask who you might be and for what reason you looked exactly like our deity?" Kaguya went straight to the point even though she was scared.

"My name is Erix Khan but you may know as Shuushin, the God of The End." Erix said transformed into his Shuushin form which was he's Asurayasha form or the four armed form.

Those around were baffled by his transformation but immediately gave their reverence towards their god. Kaguya and Miko felt their chances of having their Chastity finally claimed was close since they devoted it towards Shuushin.

"W-Welcome lord Shuushin, forgive me for my previous action." Kaguya knows tow towards him while Alicia and Prim silently watch, thinking how they would likely react the same way if they saw Larentia.

"I pay it no mind since you didn't know it was truly me at first. That aside, you may have many questions. Feel free to tell them."

Erix said, taking a sip of his Sake having changed preference depending on his form. Kaguya couldn't believe that their god actually existed and was alive, not to mention right before them all.

She quickly asked about Olga and the others in which Erix quickly explained everything to Erix, shocking everyone about Kuroinu's betrayal and their plans along with Erix having an alter ego ruling an entire empire of another world.

"My goodness….I didn't know they would turn out that way. Forgive me for asking this but may I know why have you only come now?" Kaguya was still scared but bravely asked and Erix said with a smile standing up turning towards the entrance as someone arrived.

"Lady Kaguya, were under attack!" Kaguya's eyes widened as Erix said with his back turned to her. She could feel a sudden pressure coming off from Erix and felt her heart stirring violently.

"Because the fruit was not yet ripe."
