Meanwhile.
"Ogyaa!"
"Ogyaa!"
"Ogyaa!"
"Ogyaa!"
"Gaaah, ain't there no end to these guys!? They keep coming no matter how many times ya kill them!?" At the countless babies' ceaseless attacks, Ophir was scratching her head with both hands, regardless of her being in the midst of battle.
As she said, Ophir and Turbo had crushed Tougen, who had turned into a giant baby, with a single blow, but only moments after they had immersed themselves in the aftermath of the victory—the bits and pieces of flesh began to gather, forming the baby once again.
How!? Since Tougen was inside its body, he should have been crushed along with it!? They were surprised, to say the least. Regardless of their feelings, however, the baby immediately proceeded to attack them. They then cut the baby in two vertically, yet not only the baby didn't die, but instead it regenerated into two split bodies. Starting from then, the more babies they killed the more babies it resulted in, and now they could no longer count their numbers.
"…Strange."
"Huh?"
However, Turbo seemed to feel something wrong with their present situation.
"What's wrong?"
"Take a closer look at them. Our attacks have made them multiply to this degree, yes, but their bodies are getting smaller as they do; an adult can't possibly hide in any of them. Even if it's that small-statured old man."
"You mean, that old geezer ain't among them?" Ophir asked.
"Yes," Turbo nodded and continued, "If anything, he probably wasn't hiding inside the giant baby from the beginning. In all likelihood, his gathering the fleshes to himself and making a display of transforming into the baby was only meant to give us the impression that he was inside the baby. Is my guess correct? You annoying demon!" Turbo raised her voice so that it spread across the hall.
Then.
"Fuhihi," Tougen's laughter reverberated out of nowhere, "You're correct, Goddess of Wind. I thought you were just a short-fused woman, but aren't you smart? But knowing that won't change anything. You can't see me. I, on the other hand, can tell every single move that you make. No matter how strong that 'Goddess-Armed' whatchamacallit is, you will eventually exhaust yourselves—especially considering how strong it is. That is to say, it's only a matter of time before I capture you. Well, I wonder what kind of puppets shall I make out of you… fuhihihihihi."
Tougen let out his creepy laughter again, but all of a sudden he said, "However," and gave a proposal, "if you voluntarily surrender yourselves to become my slaves, I will let you keep your lives. After all, you are, at the end of the day, 'women'. I have many ways to use you."
"Scum…" Turbo scoffed.
Ophir angrily pointed her battleaxe toward the ceiling. "Hah, keep yer joke to yourself, perverted old geezer. We'd rather blow ourselves and take ya down along than be yer sex slaves. Or rather, do ya even have the balls? So far, there's been two people who tried to touch us—one of them was yer comrade. But they, regardless of how strong they were, both ended up dying at the hands of our husband."
"Kakaka!" Tougen cackled heartedly and said, "In that case, then tell him to come and kill me, I insist! Come on, kill me! What's wrong? You can't kill me, Savior? If you don't kill me soon, I will lay my hands on your beloved wives, you know! Hurry up and kill m—!"
At that moment.
――BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNGGG!!
"Gigyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?"
""—Wha!?""
Out of nowhere, 'something' broke through the ceiling, its fangs firmly planted in Tougen's body, who had been hiding.
It overall appeared to be a huge tentacle, and the tentacle itself had several smaller tentacles branched out from it; they devoured the babies one after another like Tougen.
"W-what is this!? C-could this be the Savior… gugyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"
""—!?""
Bekigokiguchagori! The tentacle devoured him without mercy, and thus Tougen disappeared.
――Rumble rumble rumble!
At the same time, the tentacles returned back to the hole, leaving only Ophir and Turbo in the now empty laboratory.
After a few moments passed, Turbo said in terror, "…W-what happened to you guys' husband…?"
"That clearly ain't our husband!? Or rather, what makes you think that's Exa!?"
