Chapter 173: The Dark Queen's Scam

Chapter 173: The Dark Queen's Scam

It took me four hours to get my headache regular.

The price for using [Reader's Madness] without falling into complete insanity is that my sanity collides with my rationality which only increases my migraine so battles of attrition only cause me overwhelming pain.

I sighed and stood up, this is exhausting.

"I'm glad you're better" – Tsubaki approached and gave me a hug.

I smiled lightly, this charming woman was by my side using 'Resonance' to help calm down the insanity effects of [Reader's Madness].

"Thank you Tsubaki" – Although I would like to relax with Tsubaki to show her how much I love her, there is a woman I must threaten and a queen to save.

I went to the underground area of the base and found Witch who was looking at a stone statue that looked like a woman with big breasts was nailed to a piece of the wall with a sword in her chest.

I smiled wryly. – "Did you steal the whole wall?"

Witch was surprised to hear me and when she saw me she showed a big smile. – "I am glad you are well... Oh, by the way, you will need to talk to the slaves because when they woke up they tried to attack me to go help you"

...Looks like I got a bunch of cute girls, though I'll have to punish them for attacking Witch.

I smiled and looked at the stone statue.

The woman's appearance is attractive so at least in terms of appearance she is a good candidate for my harem, but it will be a matter of seeing how her personality is.

What caught my attention the most was the sword.

There was strange energy coming from the sword. I still lack experience in dealing with magical entities, but I can see that this sword is quite a powerful artifact.

I looked at System Goddess who was using a strange method to analyze the sword without touching it.

System Goddess had an expression worthy of a terrorist who discovers how to make homemade plutonium, she didn't even notice my arrival.

I walked next to her and looked at a translucent screen in front of her which was filled with symbols and numbers.

Yeah, I have no idea what this is.

"Did you find anything interesting?" – I asked with irony seeing her act like a child in a toy store.

"This sword is amazing" - System Goddess replied with such astonishment that I began to feel curious. – "This sword is the representation of the concepts 'Cut' and 'Defend', the edge of this sword can cut any material while when stabbing an entity stronger than the sword-bearer, the entity will be put under a powerful ability defense that has the secondary effect of petrification and since it is a skill to protect, the purification and removal of limitations skills will not be able to nullify the petrification"

Using a shield as a cage... An interesting way to use a defensive ability.

I frowned as that made me think of something. – "This sword was made to seal Higher Entities?"

The System Goddess's expression filled with euphoria. – "That's right, this sword cannot kill Higher Entities, but it can seal almost any entity with a physical body"

A weapon designed so that mortals can face Higher Entities...

The multiverse is full of surprises.

Even if Kilt could have used this sword in our combat and sealed me, I just have to put my soul in Navi's mouth, then I have to send Navi to Witch, and then I can rebuild my physical body.

I have been doing experiments to be able to escape in case my body is locked or sealed and this is one of the best methods since unlike me, Navi can ignore almost any barrier.

Navi cannot be limited by barriers and cannot be destroyed as his soul is a complement to my system, although, at the same time, he is unable to perform attacks.

As good a meat shield as Navi is, this sword is only useful for dealing with physical combat-based Higher Entities with no soul transfer abilities so this thing isn't really a threat against me.

I smiled and walked towards the sword. – "Well, let's meet this queen"

"When the sword is yours, let me analyze it to see what other data I can obtain" - System Goddess looked at me expectantly.

I stopped for a moment because I felt a strange look behind me.

I turned around and smiled wryly. – "Tsubaki, I am not going to replace you with this sword"

"Although I don't like the idea that you have other weapons besides me, I understand that there are things I can't help you with, so I'll accept that you have other weapons..." - Tsubaki had an uncomfortable expression and then sighed. – "Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if you surround yourself with women who can become swords or something like that"

... It's sad that I can't deny that, System Goddess already told me about spiritual artifacts that develop a consciousness when they reach a high level and some artifacts can even take on human forms...

I sighed. – "Tonight I will make your favorite dessert"

Tsubaki smiled feeling a little better, I love this woman that she is willing to accept my stupidities even though she hasn't developed an insane dependency on me in the same way that the other women in my harem have.

Before taking the sword out of the statue, I carefully analyzed the sword and found what I was looking for.

[System Notification: The title 'Silly Jack' has found a high-level contract and managed to crack it without activating it.

[High-Level Contract: Hero of Humanity

The contract will be activated when a human with the title 'Hero' touches the sword. The contract states that the bearer of the sword must meet two conditions in order to take full advantage of the sword's power:

1) The user will have to constantly develop humanity even if it means the destruction of the World.

Note: In the event that humanity exceeds the tolerance limit of the Will of the World, it will be possible to contact '■■■' to request support and thus transfer humanity to a new World.

2) The user must exterminate or enslave any non-human entity. Hybrid branches that share human lineage can survive as long as they swear allegiance to the user.

Warning: In case of denying this contract, the user will lose all memory about the contract and in case of touching the sword again, the user will be forced to accept the contract, or the sword will slowly devour the user's Will modifying the user's personality to acquire an irrational hatred against non-human races]

Don't fuck with me...

"Fear me! Admire me!..."

...

"Since my name is Dark Queen Fleonell!"

Why?

WHY THE FUCK IS IT A BRAT?!

I was promised a beautiful woman with big breasts! Not a fucking little girl!

"Something went wrong?" - Witch sounded confused.

"..." - System Goddess looked at me with irony. – "Maybe the curse on your soul made you a magnet for little girls..."

"Hey Listen! Ahahahahahahahahahahaha your destiny is to fornicate with lolis! Now be a man and penetrate that loli until the UN of the multiverse comes to judge you hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

...Is there a multiverse UN?...Whatever, I stopped avoiding reality and looked at the brat who had an arrogant expression.

I can't feel any energy from this brat which is normal since the sword absorbed all of the girl's magic power so unless she establishes a bond with me, she won't be able to use her abilities.

This was configured this way so that the bearer of the sword can enslave a powerful entity, not counting Higher Entities. A very ingenious method.

Fleonell looked at me and frowned when she noticed the sword in my hand, but before she could speak she noticed Witch who was next to me.

"Huh? Why do you look familiar to me?" – Fleonell looked at Witch curiously and then showed an expression of pleasant surprise. – "Oh I remember! You are the daughter of the Grand Witch! How is she?"

Witch's gaze turned grim for a second and then she calmed down. – "My mother was tortured and raped to death, now I am the Great Witch"

"..."

We all fell silent.

I sighed internally and took her hand.

In this situation words of comfort are useless, it is better to show that I am here to support her.

Witch showed a small smile and affectionately hugged my arm as she rested her head on my shoulder, then she looked at Fleonell. – "Your Majesty, this man is Luis, a hero from another world that I summoned to help us face the humans"

Fleonell looked at me curiously and skeptically. – "You are a human from another world, do you really plan to conflict with your own species even though you are not from this world?"

I shrugged. – "I am a hero who seeks to save the world, not humanity, besides..."

I smiled at Witch. – "My wives are more valuable than humanity"

Witch pressed her face into my shoulder preventing me from seeing her expression, but it was obvious she was happy.

Fleonell smiled gently at Witch. – "You found a good husband, your mother would be very happy"

Fleonell does not seem like an arrogant woman and it is clear that she cares about her subjects, a noble ruler.

I begin to understand her role in the 'Plot'. She is a leader who can bring stability to the various Inhuman tribes, but that may also be her weakness.

A leader who loves her people more than her own life is weak against betrayal, which explains how Hakuou came to power.

I just hope that this woman is not too idealistic or we will have some conflicts in the way we deal with problems.

I had to interrupt the touching moment as there is not much time.

"I think you already felt it, but all your power is sealed inside this sword" - I showed the sword.

Fleonell frowned and looked down at her small hands. – "That's right, I'm currently as weak as a human child without magic..."

"The situation is this" - I showed a serious expression. – "I can return your power, but the sword requests that you and I make a pact to allow you to recover your power"

Fleonell raised an eyebrow. – "What kind of pact?"

"You must be my pet, slave, or wife, choose one of those three options" - I continued to show seriousness.

"..." – There was an awkward silence.

Actually, I can't use the sword so I can't return Fleonell's magic energy, but I can transfer my own Fate Energy to her and her body will adapt that energy into magic power.

The Energy of Destiny is the purest form of energy so it can theoretically be transformed into any type of energy, the problem is that it is such pure energy that it is difficult to transform and if it were not because Fleonell has an enormous storage capacity of energy, this method could make his body explode.

As for the pact, I will only help other people for two reasons, to give me benefits or to increase my harem. Altruism can go to shit.

Fleonell looked at me strangely. – "Do you have particular tastes? I know that I am beautiful and my real body is a beauty that rivals goddesses, but currently, I look like a child..."

...

"Hey Listen! Even in another world everyone knows that you are a lolicon! Hahahahahaha someone call child protection hahahahaha!"

That joke is getting repetitive, but it still makes me mad...

I sighed internally, maybe I was cursed by some pedophile entity... If that's true, I'll look for that entity to spill boiling oil on its eyes and genitals.
