Speaking of which, I am sure most already know about my other ability which allows me to know whenever someone mentions me or my name.
Not something odd considering there are quite some people who are aware of me. However, what's weird is I shouldn't have been to those places before. But they are somehow aware of me and their numbers are spreading too.
Since I am bored, of course I went to investigate it to entertain myself. So, I decided to answer one of the calls or summons, whatever.

In a random universe out there.
"Ohh! Our god finally answered our pleas!"
A zealot looking cultist with eyes filled with passion that borderline madness, cried in surprise when the alien looking idol everyone is worshiping suddenly thrumming with power and becoming animate.
The alien-looking idol was then swallowed by a shadow and revealed a black cat standing on the podium as everyone in the cavern bowed their head deeply on the floor.
"Still the same world, huh?" The black cat suddenly talks before he glances his eyes at the kneeling bunch with curiosity in its gaze. "So who are you people and what do you want from summoning me?" He asked.
"Oh, the most mighty and merciful god! We are your loyal followers. We are now at the verge of extermination because the Church is cracking down on our cult. We beseech to you, our lord to grant us your favor or your loyal followers will be exterminated by the Church's executioners."
Listening to the cultist's leader, the cat was at first uninterested. That is until the Church is mentioned.
"Hmn… I could. However, nothing is free. You understand that, right?"
"O-Of course!" The cult leader rubs his grubby hands and turns to another cultist before barking his order. "Hey! Bring in the sacrifices!"
Then later row upon row of chained up and drugged females in nun garb or the skin tight exorcist combat suit were dragged towards the altar.
"There are the sacrifices we gather, Lord. They are all prisoners we captured from the Church members that were hunting us down. A hundred and one virgins of the Church is the tribute we prepared for you, Lord."
The cat took his time inspecting each of the offered tribute and with each approving hum he made, the cult leader's face brightened up even more.
"Hmn… not bad. Not bad. Normally, just a meager number of tributes like this is not enough. However, I can feel your dedication and devotion. So I will make an exception."
The cult leader is worried and panicking when the god said the tribute is insufficient. Countless resources and good mens had been sacrificed to gather these tributes. However, when hearing the latter half of the god's words. He becomes relieved and feels his devotion deepen further from his god's generosity.
He looked at his god and stopped before one particular exorcist. This exorcist is the strongest of the bunch with aptitudes as holy sword wielder and was one of the candidates too. He placed his paw on the exorcist who instantly convulsed and fell to the ground while shrieking in pain and terror.
The drug that inhibits the mind of the exorcist immediately evaporates away by the soul rending pain as her memories and existence are forcibly bent and twisted by the cruel god. Her faith in her belief, religion and god were forcibly overwritten as she is conscious and can feel all of them slipping from her mind as replaced another set of belief, religion and god that should have made her feel repulsed. But even her mind and memories were overwritten to accommodate the changes.
By the time it is done, gone is the Holy exorcist that devoted her service to the Church and the Biblical God. What replaced it is a twisted amalgamation of that. A chosen warrior of the Eldritch God that devoted her entire being in service to his will and desire.
"There. I have bestowed upon her my blessings and she will be the executioner of my will which I lend to you."
The cult leader gulped and immediately bowed down and thanked the god profusely and eagerly.
"Hmn, just remember to crush your enemies. Also, if you encounter an exorcist named Xenovia Quarta, Irina Shido, Griselda Quarta or Lint Sellzen. Capture them and sacrifice them to me. Then you will be rewarded greatly." The cat god said before turning to the exorcist he corrupted and ordered her to follow the cult leader order and destroy the Church.
Afterwards, the cat god claimed the rest of his tributes which got dragged into the shadow that he created and left the cave.

Back to the mansion.
"Master~ Master? Where are you?" Ravel looked worried as her master that she was supposed to take great care of suddenly vanished without any news.
I reappeared and landed on the wall along the mansion. I jump down into the garden which immediately caught the attention of Ravel as she hurried over.
"Mou~ Master, you should at least inform me if you are going to suddenly vanish. You made me worried." She pouted a little before kneeling down and opening her arm for me to climb up.
"Why do you need to worry about me? Not that I will ever be in danger." I frowned a little. Feeling offended she would need to worry about this great me.
"No, Master. It's the other way around. I worried for the safety of the world if the Master suddenly wandered off on his own." She sighed, which is not unfounded considering what I was doing a moment ago.
"What? Do you have that little trust in your Master?" I voiced my faux anger, definitely trying to hide the fact I did exactly what she feared.
"I wish I could take your side, Master. But your boredom is a major threat to the world. Satan knew what you were doing when you wandered off a moment ago." She sighed with a little hint of disappointment. "So, what were you up to when you wandered off just now, Master? You are not plotting to Burn the Heaven or destroy the Church right?"
I turn my head to look at her face for a moment before turning away.
"I sometimes hate how perspective you are and how easy you understand my thoughts." I grumbled silently.
"Humph, I take pride in my role and task as Master's personal caretaker after all. Of course I would know. Besides, I have my woman intuition which can tell Master has been up to something not good for the world when you are away." Ravel said with her eyes narrowed down sharply on me with an accusing gaze.
"I plead the Fifth."
"Master, that is the US Constitutional Law. That does not apply in Japanese soil and neither does it apply to a Devil like me or a god like you, Master."
I enforce my right to remain silent throughout the rest of the day.
