Chapter 403: Zeus Has Countless Women! A True Senior in the Field!
....
Returning inside the space domain of his Divine Kingdom, a system message flickered across his view:
[Your Divine Faction panel parameters have updated. Please check.]
Seito clicked it open to review the status log.
[Faction: Space Faction]
[Main God: Space God-King]
[Main God Rank Combat Power: None]
[God-King Rank Combat Power: God-King of War, God-King of Chaos, God-King of Flame, God-King of Music]
[Deity Rank Combat Power: Goddess of Poison, Goddess of Earth, Goddess of Shadow, God of Forging, Goddess of Words, Goddess of Lightning, Goddess of Ocean, Goddess of Nature, Goddess of Life, Goddess of Blizzard, God of Blades...]
[Subordinate Races: Elves, Snow Women, Merfolk]
[Total Population: 20,000,000+]
[Overall Evaluation: God-King Tier Faction]
The title suffixes for Kirukiru Amou and the girls had officially updated to "God-King," which was completely within Seito's expectations. The new panel breakdown clearly stated his current population parameters as well.
His next objective was remarkably simple: cultivate ten true God-Kings!
This task would be effortless—all he needed to do was push every single one of his guild executives past the divine boundary.
There were eleven executives in total. Subtracting Sora, who hadn't formally pledged his domain to the faction, that left exactly ten candidates!
Among them, Kirukiru Amou, Maple, and Shiro would serve as the primary commanders of these God-Kings. Kirukiru Amou brought absolute battle instincts, Shiro brought unmatched intellect, and Maple held absurd luck and defense metrics. Together, they would naturally lead the team.
"Is this the true power of the God-King Realm? This is ridiculous?!" Kirukiru Amou marveled aloud.
The sheer gap in power was breathtaking! As expected of a God-King—before this tier, ordinary deities were little more than ants.
"The strength... it really is overwhelming~" Kanade Tachibana remarked calmly, a faint, lively light flickering in her large, clear eyes.
"Sister~ I've finally caught up to your rank."
"Keep pushing forward~"
The Sora-Shiro siblings were happily celebrating with each other.
Haruno Yukinoshita, the only one who hadn't spoken yet, curiously studied everyone before her beautiful eyes flashed with playful mischief. She let out a cute laugh and pouted, "Aww~ Seito-chan is so biased~ Why are Amou and Shiro already at the late stage of the God-King Realm while the rest of us aren't?"
Hearing her teasing words, Sora and Kanade also turned to look at Shiro and Kirukiru Amou.
"Seito, are you planning to single out a few top-tier combatants to help challenge the divine factions in the outer sectors?" Sora immediately decoded Seito's operational mindset.
It was obvious. Seito needed to nurture specialists with unique talent profiles—Shiro's brain and Kirukiru Amou's battle experience were the exact pieces needed to move forward.
Hearing Sora's accurate analysis, the others quickly realized the strategy as well.
"That's right. There's also Maple—I'll help her run her breakthrough tomorrow," Seito answered cleanly.
Everyone nodded in understanding. Including Maple—their invincible, ultra-lucky shield maiden—their high-end combat force would be complete.
Beep, beep, beep~~
Right at that moment, the notification chime for their private chat channel echoed, and everyone clicked open their interfaces.
[Executive Private Chat Channel]
[Maple: Congratulations, everyone!]
[Sally: Wow, I didn't expect such massive news right on New Year's Eve!]
[Principal: Congratulations.]
[Shizuka-sensei: Congratulations.]
[Ako: Congratulations!]
[Risa: Congratulations.]
[Haruno Yukinoshita: Let me drop another piece of news for you girls—Seito-chan also broke through to the peak stage of the God-King Realm today!]
Seeing this message, every girl in the chat froze in absolute shock!
Seito had actually reached the absolute peak of the God-King Realm today! Talk about a fresh wave of New Year's luck! Was it even possible to have this many amazing breakthroughs on New Year's Eve?
In an instant, the chat room exploded into lively, overlapping chatter.
Seito looked at the active chat and smiled softly. Now that Kirukiru Amou and the others had stepped into the God-King tier, the system interface naturally restored their original names, just like what had happened with his own profile earlier.
Watching the group continue to chat happily, Seito closed his interface and stepped out of his Divine Kingdom first.
Returning to the living room, every eye in the room immediately locked onto him.
"Seito, are all the deities in your faction pledged to you as subordinate gods?"
Hestia suddenly spoke up, raising a curious question.
"Yes," Seito nodded smoothly.
Hearing his confirmation, Hestia fell silent, looking at Seito, Kaguya, and the others with a hint of genuine envy. The bond between a Main God and subordinate gods clearly proved just how much absolute trust Seito's team placed in him. Otherwise, they would never have linked their divine status to his domain!
Compared to a chaotic setup like the Western Mythos Faction, Seito's setup was infinitely superior.
The Western Mythos Faction was famously disorganized. Aside from the Twelve Main Gods and a tiny handful of elite deities, the vast majority of their lower gods possessed low combat power, and internal unity was practically non-existent due to endless political factions.
Thinking about this, Hestia let out a soft sigh.
Seito glanced at her and easily read her mind. A faction as messy as the Western Mythos couldn't possibly match the harmony of his own space domain.
Though, Zeus really was a wild breeder, Seito thought to himself. In that specific area, he felt he could actually learn a thing or two from him. After all, Zeus's harem was absurdly massive! Excluding the famous goddesses recorded in myth, there were probably countless others hidden in the background!
He really is the ultimate senior of the harem genre!
Zip, zip, zip~~
Right on cue, Kirukiru Amou and the rest of the core group stepped out of the Divine Kingdom and walked back into the living room. Seeing them return, the rest of the guests gathered around excitedly to ask about their experience, chatting about the insights of the God-King tier and the current situation in the God-King Star Sector.
Meanwhile, Seito picked up Hiyori, walked out onto the balcony, found a comfortable rocking chair, and lay down.
"Master, I want to be useful to you too," Hiyori mumbled softly, resting on Seito's chest and looking up at him. Having just stepped into the Deity Realm, seeing the others jump straight to the God-King tier made her eager to catch up.
"Don't worry, Hiyori. You'll be helping me plenty in the future," Seito replied with a gentle smile.
His long-term plan was to clear out the hostile God-Kings in the upper domains and hand over the core authority of Earth to Hiyori, so there was no need for her to rush.
"In the future?" Hiyori's eyes lit up brightly, and she settled down quietly against his chest. As long as she could stand by Seito's side and help him, whether it was right now or down the road, she was completely happy.
The two stopped talking, quietly relaxing as the cool, soft night breeze brushed past the balcony.
