The Devil Who Grants Wishes

“You’re pregnant!?”

Lucia’s shocked voice echoes everywhere. No, strictly speaking, Lucia wasn’t the only one who was shocked.

Iris, Celestine, Renana, and… even Irene. Literally everyone here is looking back and forth between Flora and me in amazement.

no, because it’s not What is pregnancy, what is pregnancy? You’re talking nonsense.

“…It’s just that Flona collected my demonic energy and intertwined it with her own demonic energy. What do you mean by that? And it’s not pregnancy, it’s a fruit.”

“Anyway, father’s child is born the same!”

I will turn

Originally, I was going to tell him what to do in the future and move to level up first, but with Flora’s appearance, everything went to waste.

In this situation, no one cares about training plans. Iris, Celestine, and Lena are just jealous of Flora, feeling betrayed by me, and staring at the fruit in Flora’s hand.

…No, Lucia might not, but you guys can’t do that.

To be honest, I don’t even have that kind of relationship, but what the hell… Well, if I say this, it will cause big trouble, so I’ll just have to swallow it inside.

[…Ah, Flora, come on—-… What is that? Fruit?]

Seeing that Flora came, Lucia is still a bit confused in many ways, but it seems that she decided to treat Flora as before.

Putting aside the previous hostility for a moment, Lucia greeted Flora. He also expresses his curiosity when he sees the fruit that Flora is holding dearly.

[Yes, it is a precious, very precious fruit.]

[…fruit. Inside the fruit is a seed, and the seed is… Wait a minute, what are you. That fruit, no way…!]

[lol…]

[This, this profit…!]

However, it did not take long for that joy and wonder to turn to anger and jealousy.

Knowing how the fruit was made from Flora’s answer and reaction, Lucia made a strange sound with her mouth, and then turned her head as if a rubber band was popping and looked at me, as if demanding an explanation. The eyes looking at me were full of betrayal.

“I… I haven’t heard from you…!”

Water droplets form on the corners of Lucia’s eyes as she caresses her belly very carefully and resentfully.

It’s not just the facial expression. Each melody in Lucia’s voice is filled with emotions of sorrow, and the target of those emotions is Lucia herself.

Even though it has already been connected once, it seems that it is very resentful that its body did not receive me properly.

…What’s that, didn’t it happen that one-shot strikes didn’t always happen?

Lucia isn’t ugly, just comfort her by saying that she’s average—-… No, this won’t work. Far from comforting, it will only backfire.

“I’m sorry…”

When I put my hand on the crying Lucia’s head and carefully stroked it, Lucia, who had just been sobbing, stopped.

…Looking at it like this, you’ve grown a lot.

In the past, it was so small that you could hold it, not enough to fit in one hand, but now it’s so big that you can’t hold it with your hands.

“Two years. Just wait two years.”

“2 years…?”

“Yes, if you have to kill another me, but if you have a life, you won’t be able to fight at all, let alone training, right?

“…”

Lucia’s mouth closed, and her expression subtly changed.

I understand exactly what I’m trying to say, but it’s only reason, and instinct seems to want to leave all that behind and be with me.

“In two years, I can do whatever I want, right?”

“…okay.”

I wanted to correct it, but I nodded my head first because if I did it now, Lucia, who had barely calmed down, could go crazy again.

Well, since Lucia has common sense, she won’t be thinking too much, so it’ll be fine.

“Then I got it. I’ve been patient with it for a long time, but I can tolerate it for about two more years.”

After hearing my affirmation, Lucia wiped the water droplets off her face with her sleeve, then nodded and said:

I can’t even find the countless bad feelings that filled my face until just a moment ago.

…However, it’s like that. Emotions are released too quickly, right?

I don’t think there’s a way to deliberately act to make me say that… ah, no matter how much I go out, it’s not like that. If nothing else, those ill feelings were real enough that I, the devil, could definitely feel them.

“Everyone heard it, right? They say you can do whatever you want after two years.”

“uh.”

“yes.”

“I heard.”

At that moment, Lucia turned her head and spoke to everyone in the warrior party, and Iris, Celestine, and Lena nodded and answered Lucia’s words.

The expressions on their faces as they answer show a sense of satisfaction, relief, and the satisfaction of satisfying their desires and getting what they wanted.

…ok?

No, I only spoke to Lucia, why are you guys…

“Dad, what are you doing, I have to go to training soon.”

Looking at me with my mouth slightly open and unable to choose what to say, Lucia smiled and then urged me to practice quickly.

It’s an attitude that says that since we’ve already talked about this issue, we can’t allow anything else to come out.

“hurry.”

Lucia holds onto my hand as I am lost and wandering in the air. Beyond the hand, a weak warmth and a strange sense of pressure are transmitted at the same time.

…Well, that’s it.

I only promised Lucia, I didn’t promise you guys. If I say roughly two years later and run away, somehow it will work out.

Saying less is a devil’s specialty, right?

**********

“…It’s fair to call it the end of an era.”

First of all, in order to level up, I arrived at the place where Aigokeros had last seen that Cerberus, but the place where he arrived was so terrible that even Aigokeros’ description couldn’t contain it all.

It is literally rotting everywhere. Just as Gaia did, even inanimate objects turn black at their extremities as if they were infected with leprosy, and then disappear as ashes and dust.

“Fa, long live Faust!! Long live!!”

“hurray!!”

And the fairies, who had lived steadfastly even in the midst of that terrible sight, saw us and started a game, and then they said so while lying face down on the ground, constantly praising me. Looking at this, I know that Faust is to be praised, but I don’t seem to know exactly what Faust I am.

…No, I don’t know anything else, but shouldn’t I properly tell you what I look like? Is there any meaning to the act of ruthlessly destroying and forcibly converting to this extent?

“…it’s too old to bring it back.”

At the time of the metal god, it was possible to revive it because it had died not long ago, but the wind god that the fairies serve seems hopeless because it has been dead for so long.

Of course, it can be revived even if it is not time retrograde, but if it is revived through such a process, it is just an undead, so it is out of the question.

If you make a god undead, there are not one or two problems that come to mind right now, but you can’t choose such a risky option.

And even if the god is dead, strictly speaking, the divine position is only a managerial position created by the world system, and not all the areas managed by the god have disappeared, so there is no big problem. Even if the wind god died right away, isn’t the wind still blowing in the world?

The question is, where did the god of wind go, who lost his owner after the god of wind died…

[The deity of wind must have been subordinated to the deity of light.]

“subordination?”

[Yes, I know as well as what I did.]

At that moment, Nero’s telepathy clears my doubts.

It’s subordinate… Hmm, then it makes sense that the spirit of the wind has disappeared.

All divine positions are automatically transferred to the person who defeats the holder of the divine position, and since Cerberus is my descendant and descendant of the divine position of light, the divine positions that Cerberus defeated are transferred to the other me who currently owns the divine position.

Hmmm… I’ve never seen with my own eyes two or more Shinwi enter a single existence, but right now I can’t think of any other possibility— wait a minute.

‘Isn’t this fucked up?’

That’s right, it means that I now have the god of light as well as the god of wind.

No, it’s not just the spirit of the wind.

The many gods that Cerberus had killed so far, and the many gods to be defeated in the future, moved to another me.

“Let’s move quickly. We’ll go after Cerberus.”

“””yes!!”””

Becoming strong should be moderately strong, and if you absorb all the divine powers and become overwhelmingly strong, the possibility that the party of warriors can defeat another me completely disappears.

Even if you have the power to become strong without limits, isn’t there a limit?

Tsk… I never thought I’d be interrupted like this in a strange place all of a sudden.

I’m sorry Flora, but if you’re not sure you can capture Cerberus alive, you’ll just have to kill him. I can’t imagine that I’ll miss it, but it’s better to make sure things are taken care of.
