Chapter 37

"So, who are they?" Yukina said while crossing her arms under her massive melons.

"Um, they're my companions from the other worlds. And the ones that you smell are them."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he instantly regretted it.

That's because he saw that scary smiles appeared on both Yukina and Elenor's faces.

He also noticed that Alice had a peculiarly strong grip on his arm.

"Haha... It seems like my son finally got himself some girlfriends. Though, we were supposed to be the first ones..." Yukina said.

"Little brother... It seems like I need to monitor you closely to prevent you from laying your hands on every woman you see."

"Elen, please don't monitor me. And I swear, I don't go just for any women."

Seal said as he was overwhelmed by their reactions. Then he promised them that he would make up for all the time they lost when they were separated.

Then they chatted for a few hours until his family had to leave because they still had business to take care of.

"We will come back after we take care of our business." The three of them said seriously after bonding with Seal.

Soon after, they left while Seal turned his gaze over to Mona.

"Why are you in a daze? Here, catch." Seal said as he threw two things toward Mona.

Mona hurriedly caught it and then started to inspect the items given to her.

One of them was a pill.

"Feed that to Modes. It will wake him up after."

The second one was a transparent crystal.

"This one, it's your choice whether to break it or not. If you do, you may feel like you're in hell or heaven, or maybe both. But there is no room for regrets after breaking the crystal."

Seal left after explaining the effects to Mona.

While Mona stood there, staring at the 2 items in her hands. But then she hurriedly left, heading towards Modes to give him the pill. Although she was doubtful whether the pill would wake him up, she knows that he wouldn't use such underhanded tactics to kill them.

Meanwhile, Seal was flying leisurely using magic. He didn't have to worry about his magic power running out since after becoming a god, his stats skyrocketed.

"Anyways, they should be here any minutes soon." Seal said to himself while observing from high in the air. His eyesight improved alongside his stats as well.

Seal waited a couple of minutes until a group of travelers appeared. They were walking on the mountain's paths, but then goblins suddenly attacked them.

He remembered this event from the storyline of Ankoku Kishi Monogatari, and as he expected, the event happened earlier than the original timeline.

"Hm, let me test this out." Seal said as a transparent barrier appeared and covered the entire mountain, then everything abruptly stopped. The only people that could move were Seal and the group of travelers.

What Seal used was one of his unlocked authority, Time. It was his first time trying to manipulate time, but to his surprise, he found that it was easy, way too easy. And he feels like he has done this countless times already.

Meanwhile, there was a commotion happening down at where the group of travelers was.

"What happened?! Why did the goblins stop moving?!" Someone yelled out in shock.

Another person even grabbed a stick on the ground and poked the frozen goblin. But it seems like the goblin didn't react.

"Did the gods finally decided to help us?"

"No, I don't think so. Look." A young woman said while pointing up to a person hovering above the sky.

The person was wearing a mask, so they could not identify who that person is. In fact, they hope that person was an ally because they were worried about their safety. Who knows what might happen to them if monsters were to catch them.

But all they know for now is the decisions of whoever this was will affect their fate.
