Dante returned to his basement where he calmly purified the core of the hydra beginning to absorb it, where upon seeing it in his spiritual space it was already attacked by Dark, Kaiser, Linda and Rose destroying it. Dante began a whole process of breaking and rebuilding himself. In that process of absorbing the hydra in his basement the empress appears in a ray of light in the basement with her perception noticing Dante.
He had seen from the distances of his recordings the terrible power of Dante, certainly he only saw him disappear due to reports from his brother and could only assume that he was in his private room. Noticing Dante totally defenseless in his process of absorbing that hydra, there were thoughts of killing him.
The empress was actively sure to have Dante since she could control him, plus that show of force eliminating so many enemies at once, caused her perspectives to change, that hydra could cause the death of several ranks of her same category and many soldiers in the process causing unimaginable losses to a country, she was prepared for such losses, plus Dante took care of such a monster in a matter of minutes overwhelmingly and almost half of the army. The empress was tempted to kill him because if this child decided to try to rebel or show his teeth.
In the next moment the empress felt an enormous bloodlust coming from her back. She notices a woman with red hair, white skin, cute and adorable like a flower wearing a dress of roses. The girl looks at her with a cute and charming smile, plus her cheerful eyes were full of bloodlust, coldness and darkness, not only that she felt her whole body as if in the palm of a hand, to the point where she instinctively felt terror run through her body. The Empress felt all the hairs on her body stand up and felt that if she released energy, that girl would immediately kill her.
- Lady Empress, what are you doing here without invitation or prior notice? Depending on your answer, I wouldn't know how to respond, since my master is indisposed to attend to you and anyone who approaches you could not ensure your survival, so think carefully about the answer, what are you doing here? -The whole room was full of black roses full of sharp teeth looking at the Empress.
The Empress didn't even move, this woman who looked at her smiling and cute, was extremely terrifying and powerful, enough to threaten her, it's not that she had a high power, it's simply that being in her field of action and trap prohibited her from using all her strength. She was instinctively aware that this girl was going to kill her.
-I just came to check on Dante, since he left after finishing off the hydra-
-My master is absorbing the hydra's core, I would appreciate it if you would leave so he could concentrate, I will let you know when you are available-
-Understood, I will leave-
-Do not disrespect my master in such a way again, since, only by cleaning up the mess indirectly caused by your hand when dealing with the demons of your empire, I could not ensure your well-being and safety if you make him an enemy, Empress, keep that in mind, it would not be nice for Dante to kill your mother-in-law after becoming fond of your daughters-
The Empress gulped, retreating in a ray of light. Linda and Rose snorted as they watched the Empress retreat.
- Should we tell the master?
-Don't worry, Dante is aware that actively showing his powers and abilities would agitate those in authority, leaving us outside to protect him-
-Hmmp-
The subsequent result of the battle was the loss of 10,000 men and the elimination of the monsters, obtaining the victory of the empire.
------------------
I had obtained the ability to regenerate physically and spiritually in exchange for divine energy, even if my body is destroyed, as long as my soul is intact and I have divine energy over time I can regenerate my body, although I obtained a horn-shaped exoskeleton that allowed me to generate a field that absorbs the vitality, divine, spiritual of those who are within an approximate distance to my level which is currently 45m at a range of 1080 degrees, it is a powerful ability in itself. Only the difficulty of the ability to kill me increased. My appearance became more attractive, sinister and dangerous. I only keep the horns on my head to go out receiving the information from Linda and Rose that the empress gave me a visit.
I expected that she wanted to kill me after all she was a figure of authority and absolute control in the empire, that is why I had left Rose protecting me and intimidating her. I did not want to kill my mother-in-law at all, but I was not going to forgive her if she tried to touch me. I just get up retreating towards the reception noticing Ruby with the girls.
-Dante you look more handsome-Ruby
-I absorbed the beast core of the monster-
-Congratulations-
-Hmmp-
-By the way, you're on the news-
-My mother wants to have a party to celebrate the participants who survived and give medals to the top contributors, you're in the front row by taking care of the most dangerous one along with 40% of the monsters-
-When will they have those parties?
-For the day after tomorrow-
-Good-
I go to the kitchen getting a couple of cookies and eating.
-How long have I been in my basement?
-2 days-
-We couldn't bother you because Kaiser wrote on the floor "I'm in a delicate state, don't bother me" -
-I understand, I want to have privacy to celebrate in part, can I have the service? -
-Good-
Having improved my regeneration caused the girls to have practically no rest allowing me to faint them faster. Once they were exhausted and passed out on the bed, I just went to take a bath, lying down in the tub, taking a break and mentally preparing myself for a video call with the empress.
-Dante, you've woken up. Are you more handsome?
-I became more sinister and handsome by having the core of the hydra-
-Congratulations-
-My servant told me that you got a scare after you came to check on my well-being, I apologize-
-Don't worry, I think it was partly my fault-
-Well I imagined that you would feel like killing me at the idea of suddenly getting out of control, just let me tell you that I'm not interested in governing, honestly the city and its management will be the girls, if you have received reports from the sisters, I just spend my time lying down eating snacks, juices, fucking and sending clones to hunt monsters and fucking my partners, my lifestyle does not displease me, I would appreciate it if you did not bother me empress, your worries are relatively annoying-
-Imagine how people feel about you, when you have the power to destroy a beast that has the ability to kill several rank 10 in the process on your own and not only that kill 40,000 monsters in the process, but You don't like being under anyone's control and guidance.
I take out the imperial seal.
- Does this have any meaning for you?
-….-
-Empress, you came to my house saying "I am not an enemy" we became family because of your daughter in the middle, I took charge of fulfilling Anastasia and Natalia's dream of forming a city, collaborating with Mr. Lancaster to kill the flower killer, I help the empire by actively eliminating monsters and I practically live a life of only pleasures, comforts, a certain level of status, I only seek to strengthen myself to maintain it, I am not interested in governing, I am not interested in killing my mother-in-law by making enemies of an empire or causing instability due to power struggles, I am only interested in my dreams and living in peace, if for you I am only "An enemy who has not shown his teeth" and not a relative and husband of your daughters, I will have to treat you from far away just out of formality of my girlfriends, since I cannot trust you now, keep that in mind-
- Did you trust me to begin with?
-I wanted to trust, after all you are the mother of my girlfriends, but it seems that I am an unwanted son-in-law-I said hanging up.
I scratch my head sighing deeply scratching my head, relatively invoking Rose who opens a portal and sends a clone to the borders of the empire towards the sea areas to go to the central continent.
-Master do you plan to apply a method similar to the flower killer of having reincarnations-
-Yes, I must prepare myself for the idea of being killed, I did not plan to use it in reality-
- Are you planning to steal the body of a baby?
-I will have to investigate in the slums, prostitutes always leave babies abandoned to their fate or aborted with previous treatment should be possible to adapt it, it is better to ensure my survival-
- Do you plan to repeat the life of the slums? I think you should look for a stable family, master-
-We'll see how the situation is in the center, I'm someone poor anyway-
I check the port city with the flower killer mask changing my appearance paying the fare of an airship a few dozen gold coins to cross the continent to reach the central continent needing 1 month of travel. Due to the distance that separates the continents and the dangerous seas full of giant monsters I let the shadow go to look for a reincarnation.
--------------------
The day of the party was held in the capital, I had to participate in a parade as one of the MVP of the winners riding Kaiser with all the knights and staff walking in the center of the empire exposing the corpse of the hydra. People shouted excitedly, releasing confetti and flowers. Mr. Lancaster was on Kaiser's head with me.
-Son, you surprised me on the battlefield-
-I only had the right conditions of having lightning and an enemy of the element of darkness and death fuel, it's not like I can cause such attacks all the time I can assure you, if you have the same concerns as your older sister about being a threat-
-Did he attack you?
-He didn't tell you-
-He hadn't told me yet-
-I think he was ashamed at the idea that I ran away because when he was releasing my thirst to kill, he almost died-
-You're not afraid to tell me that-
-I prefer to tell you and separate enemies and allies at once-
-Are you planning to kill my older sister?
-Only if she insists on seeing me as her enemy, since ruling is not my interest, as you can see when you find me in my room I only spend my time enjoying snacks, books and fucking my girlfriends, while I send clones to do my job with a false identity, just to protect my lifestyle, I am not interested in having a reward on my head or being an enemy of a country, if I want to have children I want them to live safe, calm and happy becoming responsible adults of society, for some reason I accepted the proposal to get engaged to your daughters and live in peace, but you make it difficult for me by treating me like that Mr. Frederick, tell me should I start thinking of ways to kill them? -
Mr. Frederick was moving his hand and smiling at the audience.
-You should do it-
I make an annoyed face sighing.
- Are you disappointed by my answer? -
-Partly a little, in their perspectives I'm like political allies, just an enemy that hasn't attacked, they've never seen me as family even though I go out with their daughters-
-When you have the responsibilities of ruling a nation like an emperor, it's a lonely life, there are no friends, only subordinates, who are with you and against you, who are a threat to your power, authority, even if you're not interested in governing, you have the ability and potential to be someone with the ability to do so, you'll always have to be on guard with yourself-
-I see, adults live horrible and annoying lives-I said sadly looking at the sky.
-Considering that you're a person who distrusts everyone, it shouldn't affect you too much-
-I know I don't distrust all the adults that I can't kill, run away from, but, even though I had no expectations, they still manage to disappoint me-
-What are you going to do?
-Just continue my daily life, training, eating, enjoying, working and getting stronger-
-You don't plan on doing anything with the empress-
-She is the mother of my girlfriends, possible grandmother of my children and she is the same damned woman who can turn an empire against me ruining my daily and peaceful life, I am not interested in stressing about how the empress feels-
-Isn't that a rather indifferent attitude towards the empress? -
-Dedicating myself to revenge or stressing about having her as an enemy doesn't help either, considering that the demons have active movements around the empire bringing similar monsters, I consider that they are not going to kill me casually arrogantly considering my own usefulness detecting demons, killing them, if the empress doesn't see it, I will just have to leave the empire on my own only dedicating myself to hiding my identity and living quietly starting over, I'm not interested in the empress-
-Isn't it easier for you to just dedicate your loyalty to the empress-
-If a child has to take care of pleasing adults instead of the other way around, I wonder who the child is? -
We arrived at the center of the city where a party was held for all the participants with the empress giving a speech and giving awards to those involved. At the moment it was my turn I directly looked into her eyes with indifference and boredom. -You came with a clone-
-It's just that you like to attack people out of nowhere without reasons or motives empress-
-Well it's a good time to expose yourself- The empress takes my arm speaking loudly through a megaphone.
-I want to introduce you to my adopted son and honorary prince Dante Black, being the greatest collaborator in the defense of this calamity, owner of the city of Black Dragon City-
-WOOOOO- The people shouted loudly.
- What are you doing? -
-Just taking advantage to publicly reveal yourself as my adopted son taking advantage of the event where everyone sees us-
-The son you want dead-
-My adorable and cute son-
I roll my eyes just following the choreography letting the event continue with the live music party of popular artists from the Lancaster family, different types of alcohol, meals prepared by chefs, celebrating beautifully. Ruby, Natalia, Loise, Anastasia and Celeste were accompanying me with my clones to dance and enjoy.
-Dante you feel relatively different-
- Is it because it's a clone?
-No, clones are your physical representation, why are you sad?
-The empress tried to kill me when I finished collaborating with the monster army, I could only scare her away when I expelled her with force and then she came to publicly treat me as her adopted son, in a way I'm feeling unpleasant in part-
-... I understand, what are you going to do?
-Nothing in particular, keep improving myself to kill her or control her in case of the worst-
-Do you think she'll leave you?
-No idea-
-You're not afraid that Natalia and Anastasia are your allies-
-I'm not afraid of it, between their parents who offered them everything and the boyfriend who can be replaced by someone better at any time as if nothing, it's not something that affects me, I'm just going to treat them as I normally do, if someone fails as a couple let it be them and not me-
Loise remained silent for several seconds, sticking her head to my chest.
-Dante, don't worry, I don't think he'll dare offend my mother and father-
-Sure-
After the party I ended up retiring to my house in Black Dragon City, they called it that way because it was a spiritual figure in these areas. At this point most of the city was built with people receiving their public services and charging them taxes, there was a palace with a small villa where they mainly lived, the sacred knight girls did not need to sleep they took turns patrolling the streets and the palace, although Rose was more of a living camera capable of detecting everything.
Currently in the palace there were usually my officials like Devora and several members of the sacred knight army in charge of the logistical maintenance of the territory.
I found myself with the girls sleeping on me after a night of exciting passion, Natalia, Anastasia, Loise, Ruby and Celeste are girls who constant wonderful sex and sexual training literally for hours on end makes sex fun and enjoyable. My clone was flying over the skies heading to the central continent.
