[angry goku.png]

[If you don't comment and give me power stones... NTR!!]

[Comment the word parangaricutirimicuaro so that it can happen to us]

"Vierra?..." I muttered slightly surprised and she nodded fearfully.

I looked up and down at the woman in front of me, she had marks of handcuffs and chains on her feet and hands, she had bruises all over her body and her clothes were rags.

The girl behind her wasn't much better but I could see that Vierra was still holding her own.

I guess the other girl behind her must be Shierra...

With all this assimilated I relaxed slightly and smiled at her.

"What happened to you? Why are you dressed like that?" I asked as I helped her up.

Shierra behind her held tightly to Vierra's sword without daring to look at me.

"W-we... We were in Roa when all that happened... that light... Now we ended up in a forest and those bastards... those bastards!!!" Vierra's voice cracked as tears steadily flowed from her eyes with barely contained anger at the corpses behind me.

I didn't ask any more questions since I knew from canon what both of them had suffered, so I moved away from her slightly and used healing magic until the color returned to her pale skin.

Immediately she opened her eyes wide and stared at me.

"w-what w-was that you?...." She muttered in shock as she looked at her now revitalized body and not her previous body with malnutrition and injuries.

I took care of her with everything I could find and even repaired her crotch ahem!

"Emperor rank Healing magic, it's nothing special... I suppose she's also injured, right?" I asked as my gaze fell on Shierra, who shuddered in fear when I looked at her.

Vierra nodded but Shierra just hugged her tighter and trembling.

"n-no..." She murmured weakly.

"Shierra please... He can help us, right?" Vierra whispered in her ear and the girl in her arms just froze.

So I simply used my [Alpha] skill and her tremors stopped immediately.

"Haa..." Vierra sighed as she stared at me with wide eyes and blushed visibly.

[Ding!]

[Vierra's affection increased to 50!%]

"Please... Let me help you" I whispered to Shierra who hesitated for a few seconds before daring to look at me.

In the distance, Gyes frowned at the aroma that had reached his nose, just like his father who was exploring the area.

Immediately they both looked in the direction where Rudeus was and Gyes couldn't help but frown.

"That human woman... Did she just go into heat?..." Gyes muttered, completely stupefied.

"Hmm... So does the other girl next to her, and her lust seems stronger," Gustav said as he calmly stroked his beard.

"Bah! Never mind, let's keep checking what happened here!" Gyes grumbled as he walked towards another street.

Gustav just looked at this with a slight smile and also went to his son's side.

For my part, I was already healing Shierra, who froze and blushed like a tomato when she looked at me.

[Ding!]

[Shierra's Affection increased to 100!!]

"..." I remained silent in front of the system notifications while I healed the girl in front of me who had taken a turn in attitude just by seeing me and had even gotten closer to me than Vierra.

"m-my name is Shierra..." She murmured softly.

"Okay, Shierra... my name is Rudeus... can you tell me why those men were chasing them?" I asked, and her expression visibly darkened. Vierra watched all this with wide eyes, unable to believe it.

'B-but how?... My sister has never behaved this way since the accident!' she thought as she stared at me.

"After we appeared in that forest... those bandits kidnapped us and made us slaves and..." Vierra replied, but stopped at the end, although I didn't ask her to continue.

"I see... I'm very sorry... but could you please tell me how you escaped or what you were doing?" I asked them.

Shierra shook her head, looking confused, as did Vierra.

It was yesterday. We heard explosions and screams. Hours later, they said they had killed a certain cardinal... and at dawn, the screams became more persistent... those bastards... they relocated us. They wanted to take us to another city, but we barely managed to escape until you arrived," Vierra said, her eyes filling with tears of barely contained rage.

"I see. You're in luck. We'll go and put an end to all this. I promise nothing will happen to you," I told them. I could see Shierra visibly relax, and Vierra looked at me with a smile.

"Besides... you said you were from Roa, right?" I asked them, and they both nodded.

"We're in Millis right now. There was a Mana disaster that destroyed the entire Fittoa region, and I was also a victim. I'll help you get back, but first, I have to take care of some unfinished business in the noble zone," I told them, as I moved slightly away from them.

So in my hand, and with the help of the system. I conjured two golden rings and offered them to them.

I explained how they worked and used the flute Perugius gave me to summon Silvaryl.

"A friend of mine will take care of you for now. Please don't be afraid. I'll help you soon," I told them.

Vierra looked at me with concern, unlike Shierra, who nodded deeply, trusting me completely.

That honestly made me feel uncomfortable. I didn't even think it was possible to gain someone's trust that quickly, but I didn't give it any thought.

"So... who is that person?" Vierra asked, looking at the flute in surprise.

"Hehe, his name is Perugius Dola," I said, and both women's eyes widened.

Even Gyes and Gustav, in the distance, pricked up their ears upon hearing that name and stared at me.

But I didn't explain anything. Instead, I played the flute, or the "Perugius Dog Whistle," and obviously not a sound came out.

The father and son duo pricked up their ears, but even they, with their keen hearing, couldn't hear anything, which left them even more confused.

But I didn't even flinch.

After two seconds, a beam of light headed toward me at the speed of light, but that speed was nothing to me now, so I was able to react in time.

"Lord Rudeus" Almanfi materialized from the beam of light and appeared kneeling on one knee with his head bowed.

I blinked several times, genuinely puzzled, but I quickly realized what had happened.

"Apparently, Perugius has realized our difference in power, huh?" I murmured in my mind, but on the outside, I remained impassive.

"Almanfi, please take these two girls to the safety of the castle until I return," I told him.

"Very well," he said as he bowed to me again and took two golden rods from his robes. Both girls, holding golden rods, were teleported safely to Perugius Castle.

I turned to my father-in-law and his father and nodded.

"Good, that's settled. Let's continue," I told them, and they both nodded.

I took them back with gravity magic and headed straight for the Pope's chapel, which was a thousand times more beautiful and better maintained than the cardinal's building.

I could also see some chaos in the city. This had completely surprised me again, since just two days ago the city was as normal, and now there were riots everywhere.

The Pope's guards saw me arriving from the sky along with the two Doldias.

They all froze as they looked at me. Not even the bravest of them dared to confront me, so I landed in the garden of the "Vatican of Milis" amidst hundreds of guards.

To be honest, I'm surprised, since even after eliminating almost ten thousand soldiers, there were still a few hundred left in the city. I assume this is the cause of the unrest, as there were so few personnel guarding the city.

"Y-you!...W-who are you!" one of the guards in golden armor shouted as he pointed his sword at me.

"I am Rudeus, the Magic God. Tell the Pope that I have arrived and I want to speak with him," I told them, unleashing my [Imposing] ability at its full potential.

The guards didn't stand a chance, and several of them ran toward the building.

The most resilient guards simply paled and began to tremble as they stared at me as if the devil himself had emerged from the earth.

The weakest ones peed themselves or fainted on the spot from the immense pressure exerted.

Even Gustav and Gyes behind me couldn't help but flinch at my skill, even though it wasn't directed at them.

"..." But unlike the guards' expectations, I simply stood in place, waiting for the Pope to act upon my presence.

...

Inside the royal capital, Pope Harry Grimoire was going through one of the worst moments of his life.

Just yesterday, his joy over the cardinal's assassination was immediately dashed when he learned that ten thousand Millis soldiers had been sent toward the great forest with the mission of exterminating the Doldias.

And if that weren't bad enough, with the absence of so many soldiers, Millis's defense force was reduced by 95%, leaving the streets completely unprotected.

The riots didn't take a single day to erupt. With the chaos in the cardinal's chapel, panic quickly spread, and so did the disasters.

The only forces available now were those of the Pope himself or a summons to the citizens.

In addition to his six Golden Knights, but that was his personal protection.

Therefore, a mobilization to restore order throughout the city was almost impossible now.

So sweat quickly began to gather on his forehead as the riots in Millis grew larger and larger.

In just a few hours, the cardinal's allies sought revenge and began massacring every half-human they could find in the city streets.

Now, as the de facto most powerful faction in Millis, the fate of the country was in their hands, and power was already slipping away.

"Lord Pope!" One of his ministers rushed into his office, causing him to frown, knowing it couldn't be good news.

"What...what's going on now?" Pope Harry asked, already fearing the worst.

"It's Rudeus...the Magic God just arrived, and he's right in the garden! He incapacitated over a hundred guards with a single glance, and now he's just demanding to see him!" the minister gasped before falling to his knees. Immediately, the father's entire body shuddered as he felt a blade placed on his neck.

The pressure was such that his breathing stopped for a few seconds before he could even regain his composure.

"Okay... I'll go out. If anything happens, please make sure my grandson Clifth escapes Millis," the father said before getting up from his seat and leaving his office.

Outside the chapel, I simply waited patiently.

Gyes's tail was wagging slightly in impatience, but he didn't dare say anything, while Gustav trusted me completely and was simply curious about what I would do.

So soon after, the father slowly walked out of the chapel with a pale expression and his gaze fixed on me and then on the Doldias behind me.

A look of clear surprise came over him and he pressed his lips together for several seconds before speaking.

"Please...who among you is Lord Rudeus?" He murmured as he gave a formal bow.

The guards around us had approached us but none of them dared to say anything or do anything if they looked at me.

"It's me," I said, looking into his eyes.

Immediately Harry felt that pressure on his body again but even more powerful and paled visibly.

He didn't even question my status due to my appearance and age, he simply bowed to me and avoided my gaze.

"M-may I ask why Lord Rudeus has come to Millis?" The Pope murmured softly.

"It's easy, Millis attacked the great forest, the repelimps and now we will do the same" I told him with a slight smile.

The Pope's eyes widened at this and he took several steps back.

"Y-you...are planning to destroy Millis?!" He exclaimed with fear and anger in his tone.

"Yes, partially, I want to reach an agreement because I know that you are on the side of the semi-humans and that is why I will give you a chance to save yourself" I told him and he immediately fell silent.

"Right now I will destroy the Cardinal's faction completely and all of its allies, the king and the adventurer zone, what is left of Millis will be yours, But if you dare to attack the people of the great forest, I won't even warn you before I destroy you," I said as I rose into the air.

"Before you answer, think about your grandson, Mr. Harry," I said, and the Pope clenched his fists tightly, clearly cornered.

So after several seconds of silence Harry lowered his head to the ground and nodded slowly once.

"Okay... I'll take the deal," he said as if the words were burning in his throat.

I smiled and nodded at this as I grabbed the Doldias with gravity magic as I rose up.

"Great, now excuse me, let's go settle accounts," I said and so I walked away from the chapel.

When the Pope lost sight of me, he dropped to his knees, breathing heavily, as did several of his elite soldiers.

"tch... No one should attack Rudeus if they don't want to die! Our faction will prevail!!" He shouted as if encouraging himself.

He also thanked his past self for just supporting the Doldias for the busty cat women.

But besides that his expression became completely serious knowing the consequences of a large-scale attack on the city but he knew he could do nothing to prevent it or to warn.
