Chapter 880: Miss Esme

880 Chapter 880: Miss Esme

"I choose you...

...Undead Princess Esme!"

"W—"

No one truly anticipated what would happen next. Even Miss Pepondosovich, who had already known that Riley was not really normal even in the Domain of the Gods' standards, was quite bewildered as to what he was doing now.

All he had to do was place his hand on the Well, and yet he went and grabbed something from his pockets instead and threw it on the ground, attracting everyone's attention. Miss Pepondosovich wanted to go on the journey as incognito as possible so that no one would notice Riley's peculiarity. After all, with all sorts of already weird individuals here, it shouldn't be hard for him to blend in, but no.

He just had to pull something off.

"What... is that, Riri!?"

And as the glass cage expanded in front of all of their eyes, the creature contained within also started to move, albeit extremely clumsy to the point it looked like it was only convulsing in the spot — no, perhaps it truly was just convulsing inside its cage.

"Pft..." The other gods who were previously excited to see what was happening, could not help but just let out tiny fits of chuckles as they stared at the undead princess.

"What is that? It's just a normal-looking humanoid. I thought he was going to bring out something cool since it was contained in a nice box."

"That is just the way it is, some of us lack the proper imagination to create life," one of the other gods let out a sigh as he brushed the fur of his creature, which was literally just a stick with legs covered in fur.

And although the other gods' words may sound condescending at first, none of them seemed to be truly mocking Riley. They truly were just disappointed as they thought they were finally going to be able to see something cool — but alas, it was just a humanoid in a cage.

"What... is that, Riley?" Miss Pepondosovich, however, knew that something else was going on here. It was impossible for someone who caused Grea to be worried to not have something else going on with his so-called summon,

"Why did you just create a human? And why put it in a cage when you can just use your Territory to—Oh, I suppose you don't know how to use that yet. Wait, that's not even... how did that thing even fit in your pockets!?"

"You are not capable of doing that, Miss Pepondosovich?" Riley asked as he approached the cage, "I thought that as gods, you would have all sorts of abilities."

"I do — and I have a similar ability to what you just did," Miss Pepondosovich opened her palm, materializing a hat as she did so. She then placed her entire arm inside the hat even though it was clearly shorter than her arm, and as she pulled her hand, she was already holding an axe that was bigger than Riley, "Mine is space magic — you just literally pulled that one from your pockets."

"Oh, I suppose it is also somewhat similar," Riley shrugged, "I have the ability to change the size of things, Miss Pepondosovich."

"Woah..." Miss Pepondosovich, "...Can you make me bigger?"

"I probably could, Miss Pepondosovich."

"Then—no, wait! We're getting distracted here!" Miss Pepondosovich quickly shook her head as her hat disappeared, "Aren't you getting it out!? I want to see what it can do! Let it fight Mister Pewpew here."

"You have no idea the number of times I have already lost, Riri," Miss Pepondosovich let out a chuckle, "And I still haven't formed a bond with Mister Pewpew anyway, so it is fine. Want to go another round? I'll summon one of my best champions. We can—!!!"

And before Miss Pepondosovich could finish her words, she could not help but raise her foot to block Miss Esme's face; whose hands were now threatening to rip her torso off. Miss Pepondosovich, however, kicked Miss Esme away before quickly running behind Riley.

"What the...why is it so strong!?" Miss Pepondosovich grabbed Riley's shirt as she stood on one leg as the foot she used to block Miss Esme was completely shattered, "And why did it attack me!?"

"I apologize, Miss Pepondosovich," Riley let out a sigh as he looked at Miss Esme, who was currently drooling some sort of slime from her mouth, "It would seem that she is still hungry after being kept in the cage for so long."

"Then return it to the cage!"

"Well, I won't be doing that," Riley shook his head, "Why don't you cancel your territory so we could feed it more, Miss Pepondosovich?"

"Oh, good thinking," Miss Pepondosovich nodded as the ground started to shift and the onlookers got closer and closer again, "We can just have it fight the other summons."

"...The summons?" Riley blinked a couple of times as he looked at Miss Pepondosovich, visibly confused.

"Wh—"

"Grah!"

"Ah! It's biting me!"

And before Miss Pepondosovich could finish her words, a loud scream reverberated through the air as Miss Esme's jaw started gnawing on the nearest neck she could find.

"Hm," Riley placed his hand on his chin as Miss Esme then proceeded to completely pull the god's head from his mangled neck, "It would seem that some of these gods are physically weaker than Miss Esme."

"That is a joke, right?" Miss Pepondosovich could not help but just force out a chuckle as she watched as Miss Esme devoured a god, "Your summon, it's abnormally physically strong — most gods actually are not...

...they rely on their mystic arts."

"Grk!?"

And as soon as Miss Pepondosovich said those words, Riley quickly stepped to the side to catch Miss Esme, who was blown away by some sort of light.

"Yeah, like that one."

"What is the meaning of this!?" A red-skinned god with four horns on top of its head let out a roar,

"Why are you fighting each other like savages!?"
