Chapter 185: Yui's Ability! Changes in the Chaos Realm!
Since everyone agreed, Ren didn't waste any more time.
In an instant, his power as the King of Chronos flared. The Sanctuary unfolded, a wave of imperceptible energy washing over the girls.
Everyone had now become a member of the Time Order Clan.
Miura Yumiko opened her eyes in surprise, gasping slightly. "I... I feel a magical power in my body. It's... warm."
She tentatively took a step, intending to walk toward Yui.
"Wow!"
In her perception, she meant to take one step. In reality, she shot towards Ren like a pink-haired bullet, a blur of motion.
Fortunately, Ren was there. He caught her easily, his hands steadying her shoulders before she could crash into the wall.
"Be careful. You need to slowly adapt to the ability," Ren reminded her, rubbing her head reassuringly.
"Mmm, I… I know." Miura Yumiko's face was bright red. She stood up from his arms, her heart hammering, and conveniently, nervously, helped Ren straighten his messy clothes.
"..."
Yui quietly watched the two of them, a small, curious smile on her face.
Miura Yumiko, flustered, quickly stood to the side.
Ren snapped his fingers.
Space itself seemed to stretch and warp within the classroom. In the blink of an eye, the familiar walls dissolved, and everyone found themselves in a peculiar, endless white space.
Ren walked to the club's cabinet, which now stood alone in the void. He opened the door, which shimmered with spatial energy, and slowly began to explain everything he had done.
"I've set up a spatial entrance here in the research club's cabinet."
"As long as someone is authenticated by the spatial restriction—which you all are now—you can reach this parallel space through this entrance."
"Here, you can freely train your abilities," he explained. "I think you must have felt it, right? My Time Order Clan ability is to accelerate your own time and decelerate external time. You need to practice your own abilities well, otherwise you'll be like Yumiko, unable to control them."
"So amazing! Time abilities!" Marin's eyes lit up with stars. "Doesn't that mean I'll never have to worry about oversleeping and being late for a shoot again?"
Eriri was also very excited, her mind racing. "Then... then I can stay up more nights to draw 25 frames and still get a full night's sleep?"
[Inorin's Note: "25 frames" likely refers to drawing 25 keyframes for animation or manga, a heavy workload.]
Yotsuya Miko's usually listless, pale face also showed a hint of genuine joy. "Then... every day I encounter those... evil spirits... I can quickly run away?"
"..."
Ren was speechless. You're all using my high-end time ability for this?
He glared at Eriri. "No staying up late. Otherwise, I'll make sure you really don't sleep a wink all night." His tone was heavy with implication.
Eriri's face instantly turned bright red. She hummed, her small fangs showing in a defiant pout. "Hmph, bring it on! Who's afraid of whom?"
Yukino rolled her eyes slightly. Eriri, you can say what you want, but isn't your tone a bit too excited?
"..."
Ren was too lazy to dwell on this little pervert; she definitely needed to be "educated" tonight.
"This space is very sturdy," Ren continued, turning to Yukino. "Even if you use your full power, this space will be perfectly fine. It can also serve as a very safe refuge."
Ren's words were not false at all. Among them, only Yukino was the strongest. Her ice power was already approaching the 1-v-5 S-Rank.
Although Eriri had Sky Dragon Slaying Magic, she hadn't received effective training, so her improvement was slow, only around 1-v-3.
Now, in this space, she didn't have to worry about affecting the outside world and could unleash her power to her heart's content. Most importantly, the spatial barrier he had casually reinforced could not be broken even by a 1-v-6 power. It was perfectly fine as a refuge.
"Oh?" Yukino's eyes lit up. This really was a good place to train her abilities.
Ren then turned to Yui. "Yui, do you want to become my Redemption Angel?"
"Yes! But… can I… can I?" Yui longed for it, but she was also afraid that she, being just normal, couldn't do it.
"Don't worry. You just need to think of me."
"Mm!" Yui took a deep breath, her chest puffing out slightly, and closed her eyes.
As Ren expected, he easily felt Yui's pure, unwavering affection.
"Ugh!"
Yui only felt a sudden, intense warmth surge into her body, as if she were being filled with light.
When she opened her eyes, she was floating.
"Wow!"
Looking down, Yui was startled at first. She turned her head and saw pure white, feathered wings flapping behind her, and she shouted excitedly, "I really became an angel!"
Below, Yumiko saw her good friend, Yui, suspended in the air with holy wings, and a deep sense of envy filled her heart. That was an angel, after all.
"Come down. And you too," Ren said, pulling Yui down gently.
Yui obediently descended. She retracted her wings and halo, though they were still faintly visible. She stood gracefully in front of Ren.
Ren first used his Domination ability to transmit the complete knowledge package of Haki and the Six Styles (Rokushiki) directly into her mind.
Then, he took out a strange, gray fruit with circular patterns.
"What is this?" Yui curiously poked it.
Ren's mouth curved into a mischievous smile. "You'll know if you take a bite."
Yui didn't hesitate and took a big bite.
After the first bite, Yui's face instantly changed. It was... disgusting. She wanted to spit it out.
But Ren said at that moment, "You must swallow it for it to be effective."
Upon hearing this, Yui immediately covered her mouth, tears of disgust welling in her eyes, and forced herself to swallow it down.
"Ha… ha…" She breathed heavily with a bitter face. "It's so bad... Ren-kun, are you teasing me?"
"Haha, no. Try it. You should have gained a special ability now."
"Eh!"
Yui exclaimed in surprise; it seemed like a certain power had indeed appeared in her mind.
Under everyone's gaze, Yui willed herself up and flew again, but this time not by her angel wings, but by her new power.
"What you ate is the Float-Float Fruit (Fuwa Fuwa no Mi), a special Devil Fruit," Ren explained. "Eating it grants you a superpower."
[Inorin's Note: The Float-Float Fruit is the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit eaten by Shiki in One Piece, which allows him to make himself and non-living things he touches levitate.]
"The ability of the Float-Float Fruit is to allow oneself to fly, and to control any non-living objects that you have touched, making them float."
"So amazing! Doesn't that sound a lot like telekinesis?" Miko's eyes sparkled; this superpower was too cool.
"Oh my, Ren-kun is too good to Yui," Marin exclaimed, a little jealous.
Yumiko also nodded secretly. A clan member, an angel, and a superpower... it was too… enviable! It was clear that Ren was truly good to Yui.
Yui landed and hugged Ren tightly. "Thank you, Ren-kun!"
Ren, in turn, cupped her chin. "Is your mouth still bitter?"
Yui nodded, her face flushed. "Still a little bit."
"Then I'll rinse your mouth for you."
With that, Ren forcefully kissed her.
After a moment of being stunned, Yui's hands actively wrapped around Ren's neck. Her movements even became more proactive and passionate as she kissed him back, her tongue meeting his.
Thinking of how good Ren was to her, the love and happiness in her heart were about to turn into tangible... moisture.
When the others saw this scene, they decisively moved away to train their own abilities, not wanting to be a third wheel.
Yumiko looked back at the two of them, deeply entangled, before leaving, slightly pursing her lips.
...
Yui and Ren didn't do anything excessive here.
They just shared a deep, passionate kiss for several minutes before he let her go familiarize herself with her new power.
Afterwards, Ren left the parallel space alone and entered the Chaos Realm.
The Sin Realm was being transformed by the Witches. It looked quite… distinctive.
Typhon, Minerva, Carmilla, Daphne, Sekhmet, and Echidna had collectively created a gray castle manor. Inside, there were various flowers and plants, all sorts of decorations, and many magical beasts created by Daphne.
Satella was the exact opposite of the others. She had built a pure, gothic black castle, which she named the 'City of Shadows'. It perfectly suited the power she possessed.
Pandora's dwelling place was the most unique. She had only built an ordinary, modern, two-story house. But her naming was extremely special: 'The Nest of Love'.
Ren could only describe this as... inexplicable.
Although he really wanted to experience Pandora's 'Nest of Love,' his main purpose this time was to go to the Faith Realm. He hadn't forgotten that point.
Senju Kayo led the little angels in creating this 'Angel City', which was full of technological flair.
Ren appeared quietly, without alarming anyone else. The place he appeared was precisely the pure white room where Talulah was located.
By now, she should have reflected enough. Ren was ready to solve the problems she had.
Inside the sterile, pure white room, Talulah had a blank expression, sitting lifelessly on the edge of the bed.
During his communication with Kayo in Mumei's World, he had also learned about Talulah's situation. Talulah was like a lifeless puppet. She had no thoughts whatsoever. Or rather, all she thought about was her own sins and her desire for death.
Today, Aihara Enju was responsible for taking care of Talulah.
"Ren Onii-chan!"
Seeing Ren appear, Enju immediately pounced on him.
Ren picked her up in one go. "Long time no see, Enju-chan."
Enju kept rubbing her head back and forth against Ren's chest, eagerly inhaling his scent. It was a while before she looked up, her face looking all wronged.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Onii-chan will teach them a lesson for you," Ren pinched her nose, half-joking. No one here could possibly bully Enju.
Enju pouted. "Ren Onii-chan... Kayo... did she... do it with Ren Onii-chan?"
"..."
Ren awkwardly coughed. "Cough cough, why ask that?"
Enju's eyes teared up. "Kayo already said so! Can't Enju do it too?"
So I'm being targeted, huh? This left Ren dumbfounded.
"Of course Enju can, too. But... are you sure you want to... now?"
Ren gestured with his eyes. There was still someone else sitting on the bed.
Enju didn't care about that. She was super excited to hear that she could. She pulled Ren's collar, her voice demanding, "Right now!"
"..."
Ren was someone who cared for his own. He immediately decided to satisfy this pouting, jealous Enju properly.
He carried her to the bed, laying her down. The two completely ignored Talulah, who was sitting just feet away.
Anyway, she was temporarily like a dead person now. Ren began to undress Enju, his hands expertly exploring her small, developing body, and she eagerly returned the favor, her hands fumbling with his belt.
