"It's impossible to keep those void spiders without any treasure."
"I agree with you, Miss Olivia."
The husband faced the first problem.
How could he keep those creatures with himself if those can erase anything with their legs or acid? The husband needed a treasure that would be like prison for these monsters! His house couldn't be used as such because the husband and Xaya loved and had even more plans for its development.
If Xaya's kitchen or room suddenly got destroyed by those, then a yandere wife's wrath would urge her to pounce into that 'other side gate' and Kyoya surely wouldn't like that.
He thought and thought, but no idea appeared in his mind.
"It annoys me… that it can erase my energy like that."
The husband was on the path to become divine and his energies always stood out in the world pillar. He also has seen gods and was in close contact with a few, but there was still respect to gods in his heart.
He also wanted to be the respected god, even if his divinity was Trickster. The husband often told himself he was a good trickster god and him tricking others was actually the system tricking where everyone could benefit the most.
So it was bothering that this void creature could get rid of his energy like that.
Was it because the husband was weak and far from divinity?
Of course, Kyoya's strength played a huge rule against the void's element. If he were stronger, then it wouldn't erase his power like that, but it also would mean that Kyoya and others wouldn't learn about its uniqueness.
It was still only Akaro who knew how serious it was, though.
'My divine energy should be the one sealing it… The sealing card might help me.'
Kyoya's only resort was the sealing card, but it was far from perfect. After all, the void creature still would be able to move and Kyoya wanted something better deeply. Nonetheless, it was time to check this card.
Once it appeared in between the husband's fingers, Kyoya brought the card closer and made the spider touch it. The sealing power spread its light for a little, then began fading away, clearly unable to go against the void element.
It was just a spider yet it was this strong?
Kyoya was flabbergasted.
"Husband, can't you weaken it? Get rid of its legs!"
"That's one of the options, but I want it to be in its best state. I mean, it already lost one leg, but we can always search for more spiders if this card works."
"That is just another reason why you should get rid of its legs and weaken it. Make your card get used to this void element."
"True… I will do it."
"Mmm."
Xaya nodded to the husband, her death knight's arm going down to tear one leg. Her husband then brought the card once again and the sealing progress began. The result was the one that brought displeasure.
But Xaya didn't wait and got rid of another spider leg.
She began to bully the spider, but there was no choice.
Kyoya's powers began to adapt slowly, but more victims were needed. Luckily enough, the husband's party had caught far more spiders and the experiments could become.
'I am doing what this floor's families were doing, but on an unknown monster.'
The husband inwardly thought.
The comparison was not fair as the monster could be comparable to a bug that unfortunately invaded one's house. Many humans just would get rid of that bug, even in the husband's former world.
No one would have hard feelings, but the husband was thinking deeply. He already made a lot of mistakes in this life as an adventurer.
'It's not like I would do mass murder… If it's needed, then I have to go for it. Be erased by void or fight it? I am choosing the latter.'
Even if the humanoid void appeared before Kyoya, he wouldn't be immediately treating it as an enemy, but properly estimate the situation. He was sure of it and the uncomfortable feeling slowly faded away.
He began to prepare his sealing card for the spiders and eventually seal them within the house. If this was the only option, then the husband was ready to prepare the special room with many other seals.
However, the husband suddenly learned a new ability out of the jack disciple rank.
[Jack Box!]
"Jack Box?"
It was skill that was prelude to the powerful Trickster God's skill House Of Cards. This skill allowed Kyoya to make a box out of a card and trap the victim inside. The victim would be then faced with the avatar concept whose role was set up by the husband.
The size of the box also could be controlled by the husband.
"This is terrifying… It doesn't even require that much energy from me to keep the concept inside."
"Congratulations, the husband!"
"Yes, congratulations, Kyoya!"
The husband closest ones immediately congratulated him and genuinely were happy for him. Others also followed despite not knowing what was exactly going on. Only when Kyoya began to make the jack box did his friends realize the might of the husband's path!
The spider got sealed and was also tortured, so there was a chance that this spider could grow stronger or even become submissive.
"Kyoya, the void master. It sounds so weird."
"The husband title sounds him the best."
"Yep."
Hana and Maria also engaged in casual, but not really so casual talk now that the husband got the ability to properly deal with the voids.
Then, the worm got thoroughly beaten by the poison master.
BOOM!
Its body was half-way eaten by the poison, but Venes was happy to see so much material. He also glanced at everyone who got less quality stuff! His eyes were also genuinely happy for everyone.
"Let's get this whole floor's energy for us and then all of you should leave this place."
""""..."""
Venes' smile changed a little, but it was still amiable.
