Extra 16: Gate (4)

Kurama and the rabbit girls, quickly arrived at the entrance, only for Tyuule to start sweating from the countless number of troops that were in their range of vision.

"Hmm" - the man in front of the group of soldiers, looked curiously at the people in front of him.

"I want to assume that you are the emperor" - Kurama said as he looked at the man, after all, he looked a bit like the prince and from his armor, respect shown to him by the troops, and all the people who were ready to protect him, it was obvious that he was someone with a high social status.

"How dare you disrespect the emperor, you filthy animal!" - A soldier exclaimed in fury.

Kurama gave the soldier a sharp glare, only for the soldier to feel everything around him go blank.

Everyone watched in shock as the soldier, who had screamed, fell to the ground and began to convulse before letting out his last breath.

"I guess that's what happens when you insult a god" - Tyuule said sarcastically, leaving the panic behind because she knew that her "owner", would protect her and her people.

"God?" - repeated the emperor as he frowned because those words carried too much weight. He quickly looked up to the sky because the gods were capricious, they would not allow any mortal to dare to call himself a god because that was a grave lack of respect towards them, but to his surprise, he saw how nothing happened - "Maybe we have to wait a little longer?"

The group stood in silence, waiting for something to happen, but no matter how many minutes passed, the small group of the rabbit girls, carried on as if nothing had happened.

Kurama raised an eyebrow as he waited for the man to speak.

"You are a god?" - The emperor asked with a frown.

"Of course he is," replied a female voice that Tyuule recognized immediately.

"What are you doing here, follower of Emroy?" - Tyuule asked with a frown.

"My god told me that there would possibly be a senseless massacre here, and since he is in a good mood, he told me to come and prevent it because there would be much more possibilities in the future" - answered Rory with a small smile - "It's a pleasure to see you again, Kurama-sama, Emroy-sama sends greetings"

"Same here, and give my regards to your god" - Kurama replied calmly as he squinted his eyes as he looked up at the sky. He could sense a pocket dimension somewhere nearby, but couldn't exactly detect the location.

Rory smiled slightly because according to what her god had told her, each of them inhabited an independent dimension according to their domains, in the case of the goddess Hardy, she inhabited near the core of this world, and it was the largest independent dimension because it consisted of the place where souls passed on to a better life.

Molt Sol Agustus, the emperor, could only look at the strange fox man with fear because it was not a good idea to turn against a god - "Sorry for not showing you the respect you deserve, Kami-sama."

"Don't worry, you didn't disrespect me" - Kurama replied calmly as he snapped his fingers and made a cell appear with a man inside.

"Zorzal-sama!" - The soldiers exclaimed as they ran to the cage and dragged it to them.

"I thank you for your compassion in sparing my son's life," said the emperor as he ignored his son's condition, "But first I would like to know your name."

"He is Kurama-sama, the god of the elements, nature, judgment, and the cycle of reincarnation" - answered Rory as her eyes sparkled slightly - "He is a deity who had not shown himself because there was no need to, but I can assure you under the name of my god, Emroy, that I do not lie when I have seen how he reincarnated a mortal"

The emperor was silent as he nodded weakly, after all, he could trust Rory's words when she spoke on behalf of his god. As a servant of the god of death, she could not swear in vain because she would be punished directly by her "boss".

"As emperor, I promise you that I will no longer attack any tribe of demi-humans" - Molt replied as he looked at the white-haired man - "I promise to try to engage in cordial relations with you."

Kurama nodded calmly as he snapped his fingers.

The soldiers looked at each other, only to let out a gasp of surprise as the prince of the empire, seemed to return to normal despite the fact that only a few seconds ago he seemed to be on the verge of death.

"Consider it an act of goodwill" - Kurama said as he turned around - "But I recommend you keep an eye on him, I can feel a huge darkness inside him."

Molt nodded weakly before telling his soldiers to stand down because he had something to ask the deity in front of him - "Kurama-sama, what do you plan to do?"

"I will walk the world, gathering all the [Warrior Beasts] and [Humanoids] to create a safe place for them" - Kurama replied as he gave him a discreet glance - "As for the slaves, I kindly ask you to release them, as for payment, let's just say I can give you the incentive you desire."

Kurama again snapped his fingers and, in the process, made a mountain of treasures appears.

"!" - Molt opened his eyes in surprise because this amount of riches, was comparable to that of the royal treasure.

Kurama quickly made the treasures disappear as he shook his head - "I will be in this place for a month before I start my journey."

"Ok, I promise to fulfill your request" - Molt replied as he nodded weakly.

"Oh, consider this an advance payment" - said Kurama as he appeared in front of the emperor and put his hand on his head.

Molt was silent for a few seconds before he was surprised to see how the wrinkles on his hands had disappeared.

The soldiers saw prepared to attack, but remained static when they saw how the emperor, not only looked fine, but also seemed to have rejuvenated a few years - ". . ."

"Let's go" - Kurama said as he entered the village.

Molt looked at the strange white-haired man with reverence because with these actions, he had proven his words to be true - "Let's go back home, we have already accomplished our mission to rescue my son, and I have a lot of work to do."

"Hai!" - exclaimed the soldiers, though inwardly, they could only let out a sigh of relief that they had survived.

* * * * *

"Are you going to create a kingdom for us?" - Tyuule asked in surprise because this was something many had tried, but no one had succeeded.

"Yes, though I only need a few days to finish everything" - Kurama replied calmly as he looked at the former queen of the [Warrior Rabbits] tribe - "As for you, let's just say I have a special job for your tribe."

"We are at your service in body and soul!" - Tyuule exclaimed as she knelt down next to her royal guard. The excitement and happiness in her eyes, was uncontainable because they could finally be safe.

"You didn't need to emphasize the word body" - replied Kurama as he rolled his eyes at her - "Anyway, it's time for us to prepare this place for a larger population, besides, I still have to train you to become one of the royal guards."

"Won't we be your concubines?" - Tyuule asked with a frown.

"No, at least not until you are strong enough" - Kurama replied calmly.

Tyuule nodded in realization.

They were too weak to stand beside a god, though looking back, she knew that her subordinates could not improve enough to be chosen.

Tyuule slowly looked at Delilah for a few seconds before nodding.

The [Rabbit Warrior] nodded at her words as they seemed to have come to the same conclusion, not to mention they could tell that Kurama didn't seem to have much interest in her sisters.

"Tyuule, you will continue to be the leader of your tribe, but besides that, you will be one of my councilors" - Kurama said because he could notice the latent potential in this woman. She was one of those people who could use any method to achieve her goals, even sacrificing her body and honor, that was an impressive talent for a councilman who was loyal to him.

"Thank you for this honor, Kurama-sama" - Tyuule smiled as she licked her lips because this was better than she thought. She had not only gained stability for her people, but now she could be part of the people who would dictate the fate of an entire kingdom, that was a huge leap for her.

Kurama didn't respond, he just walked into the village, thinking about what his first steps would be now that he had decided to help the "oppressed".

"Kurama-sama?" - Delilah asked as she looked at the god.

"I was just thinking about some things" - Kurama replied as he looked at the brown-haired rabbit girl - "As for you, I think that if you train as I tell you to, you might succeed in taking control of the royal guard."

"Of course!" - Delilah exclaimed with a huge smile.
