The Fantasy and Festival creatures that I managed were largely divided into two.

  Real and illusions.

  Bluntly put, their category depended on whether or not they could fully exist outside of my dimension.

  Naturally, they were real if they could.

  However, this criterion was meaningless for the vast majority, considering they had never even gone out of the planet’s atmosphere, let alone the dimension.

  But…


  “It doesn’t matter.”


  It was like finding out that one’s wife, whom they thought was unique, was actually just one of the original’s clones that slept with other men.

  If they really loved her, it would be quite unbearable.

  “I met Erdanti, the Divine Dragon Queen, when the timelines messed up due to Parmael’s divine power.”


  Noebius, who decided he couldn’t keep wasting time, disappeared… into human society.

  It was at this time that I also met the First Hero, the culprit behind all tragedies.

  Hence, my meeting with Erdanti was inevitable at that time, considering she was already active as the First Saintess.

  The rest were history.

  She began to develop feelings for Noebius, while Fugitive Senior set up a trap out of jealousy, turning him into a public enemy.

  In response, my best friend killed countless dragons and adventures. However, exhausted, Parmael captured him alive…


  It was quite tragic.

  “This might just be caused by my useless regret, and it might already be too late, but I want to hold on to even the faintest hope and tiniest possibility.”


  “Friend! Let’s go!”


  “… Thank you.”


  “I should be the one thanking you, my dear friend!”


  However, traversing the universe with willpower alone wouldn’t be easy!

  It was just that vast!

  “Is this the correct address, Ssosia?”


  “Yes, it is.”


  I didn’t even need to result to Mollansoft’s power over information to find Fugitive Senior’s home address. I just needed to use the space’s search engine, and it immediately popped up.

  Macrocosm A, Galaxy B, Solar System C, Planet D, Continent E, Region F, City G…


  How could I locate him with this?

  I already encountered a problem just from trying to find the macrocosm alone.

  “Seriously, how are we supposed to get there…”


  “Don’t worry about that.”


  “S-e-e-e-e-ex!”


  The stingray’s obscene cry echoed majestically.

  “I will show you the power of space steeds that only successful wives possess, handsome husband. If you show it the address, it’ll take you there immediately.”


  “Really?”


  Could this mat really be such a convenient sports car?

  “It’ll be faster to see it for yourself.”


  “S-e-e-e-ex~”


  The space stingray, with brightly shining eyes, looked at what was typed down on my cowardly wife’s smartphone.

  “Oh?!”


  I found out that labeling it a must-have item for successful wives wasn’t an exaggeration.

  Once it had scanned an address, it would automatically take its rider to it no matter where it was in the universe.

  It was truly the ideal vehicle.

  “Then, Ssosia, I’ll be borrowing your stingray.”


  “Huh? What about me?”


  I didn’t know what to say.

  My first apostle wasn’t aware of it, but I promised to take Kaisa out on a date to make it up to her.

  If I were to take my cowardly wife with me, I would be punished.

  Kaisa…


  Unfortunately, Pedonar killed the ‘real’ version of her. Since she was just a clone now, she couldn’t go out of this dimension.

  But I couldn’t say it straight out.

  “I need you to look after Fantasy.”


  “What are two guys alone going to do, though?”


  “Don’t mock us. Noebius is definitely neutral, and I am the Righteous Hero.”


  There was nothing wrong with two brothers hanging out! None of it went against any morals, conscience, or principles!

  “The fact that you’re coming is exactly why I’m suspicious of you…”


  “Don’t worry. I’m a Hero! I am worthy of your trust.”


  I brought peace to my wives since only then could my territory be at peace as well.

  Moreover, if I left them as it was, my last years would’ve been the same as Fugitive Senior’s.

  “Well, have a safe trip.”


  Pouting, Ssosia passed over the stingray.

  “I will wait for Your Majesty’s return, counting every passing day that I don’t get to spend with you.”


  Kaisa looked at me with her piercing eyes.

  Her spine was tingling…


  “Mollan~!”


  “Oh! Thank you for seeing me off, Master Mollan!”


  I was just an ignorant being before, but now I know that Master Mollan was the noblest slime in the universe.

  While others didn’t recognize his greatness, I immediately noticed it as soon as we first met.

  “Mollan…”


  Perhaps out of shyness, he returned to hiding between Ssosia’s breasts.

  It was time for me to leave as well.

  “We won’t take long. Let’s go, stingray.”


  “S-e-e-e-e-ex!”


  “… Your cries are as obscene as always.”


  My heart started beating fast.

  Freedom after 200 years.

  Upon causing all the worlds to merge, the power supply Fantasy needed was greatly reduced.

  [Hero]

  [Hero]

  I appointed Ssosia and Kaisa, my apostles, to provide the divine power my territory needed in my stead.

  With the maintenance cost of my dimension significantly lowered from hundreds of thousands to mere tens, what was impossible in the past now became possible.

  “Oh… that’s right.”


  On the way, I stopped by Festival, where another one of my wives resided…


  “Sex?”


  “Shh.”


  “S-e-e-e-e-e-ex~”


  The Righteous Hero rode the stingray out of Fantasy!

  *****

  “… I didn’t think you’d fulfill your promise right away, my friend, but you actually left immediately after finishing everything that had to be done.”


  “Hahaha.”


  I didn’t know it would be like this either.

  I didn’t want to say, ‘I’ll love all my wives equally!’ like Fugitive Senior, but it was only proper for me to provide them with basic safety measures, at the very least.

  If someone invaded and took my wives while I was away…


  Then it would be hard to bear.

  “Retribution!”


  “Retribution!”


  … When I saw my twin daughters, I felt like I didn’t really need to come here after all.

  [Retribution]

  [Retribution]

  The romantium I had trouble finding was only the size of a ping-pong ball, but my children had one the size of a pillow, even though it was 69% alloy.

  If one were to get hit by that soft-looking romantium pillow, they would be disintegrated down to the very last fragment of their existence, leaving nothing behind.

  I didn’t know what happened to this world.

  ã??A certain innocent goddess looks proudly at the twins.ã??

  ã??A certain god expresses gratitude.ã??

  ã??A certain innocent goddess smiles broadly.ã??

  All the other deities left after eating popcorn, but this innocent goddess kept following me for some reason.

  ã??A certain god wishes for the happiness of his descendants.ã??

  ã??A certain righteous divine being frowns.ã??

  ã??A certain god claims to be shameless and weak.ã??

  ã??A certain righteous divine being pretends to be troubled.ã??

  A certain god appeared upon meeting the unfortunate Elfheim family on the Festival planet.

  Based on his messages, he seemed to be their ancestor.

  That aside…


  “Mother! How can you leave me alone to flirt with father?! You have no idea how many times I traveled through Fantasy to find you?!”


  “Oh? Why?”


  “What do you mean ‘why’?!”


  “Illeana, why are you still looking for me despite how old you are? You should’ve focused your time on finding a man and becoming independent.”


  “I was worried about you, and that’s all you have to say?!”


  “My ignorant daughter. You shouldn’t take your frustration of having your man stolen from you on your mom.”


  “Oh, forget it!”


  Hmm. It was very peaceful.

  Elfheim seemed unwilling to stop the argument between his wife and daughter.

  He was far too busy, after all.

  “Selenis, Selvenus. Why don’t you play with your powerless grandfather?”


  “Grandpa is weak!”


  “Right! Too weak!”


  “Hahaha! I’m beyond grateful that my granddaughters, both strong and healthy, are taking the time to worry about me!”


  “Grandpa is amazing.”


  “Right. Really great.”


  “That’s your grandfather’s only strength! Now, listen. Among the Heroes who gathered this time, there were those who wanted to create a harem of elves. That wouldn’t have been a problem if not for the complaints of the parents and children they abandoned.”


  “Are they strong?”


  “If they’re strong, I will fight them.”


  “I don’t know. It remains unclear to me if the rumors about them are exaggerated or understated since they’re Heroes. However, I do have their names: Zeus, Sieg, Lilith, Shiva.”


  ã??A certain innocent goddess wants the harem creators to be punished.ã??

  ã??A certain innocent goddess provides full support.ã??

  Whoosh!

  I felt the pillow the twins hugged becoming so powerful that I started worrying that they would be capable of breaking Festival itself into fragments.

  “… I’ve got a long way to go.”


  Having the support of one of the three most powerful deities in the universe was definitely on a different level.

  The Mollansoft Chairman and my daughters…


  They were obviously just apostles, but they were still stronger than most gods.

  I’d have to become more powerful as well to avoid getting left behind by my younger daughters.

  Elfheim looked back at me.

  “Haha! Did you enjoy the night you spent with my daughter, Hero? Her body might be weak, but she is rich in size!”


  “Do you really think those are the right words to say after treating your son-in-law like an invisible person for an entire day?”


  “Hahaha! You broke my heart a little when you sent mischievous Heroes here. It’s like throwing garbage in the very home your daughters had cleaned… Anyway! Haha!”


  “Just hang in there for a bit.”


  “A bit? Then I trust you’ll resolve this within a hundred years.”


  “Sure.”


  If I were still a human, I would’ve desperately tried to solve it within a year.

  Although it wasn’t as much as the other elves since he had been tainted by human culture, Elfheim was also very generous with time.

  “Be careful, Hero.” His voice grew serious.

  “What?”


  “While you were busy all night producing my third grandchild, Noebius and I spoke. Be careful around who you’re going to go up against.”


  “Is he that dangerous?”


  “Although he has many flaws due to his human nature, the First Hero is like an onion in terms of strength and fate. Since the Goddess of Luck always favors him, he’ll keep coming no matter how many times you peel him off.”


  “Hmm…”


  I took his advice into consideration.

  In particular, the word ‘luck,’ which was deeply related to the universe’s favor, was seriously annoying.

  Now that I had become too strong, I no longer had that favor.

  Hence, luck would extremely likely be a major variable in our upcoming battle.

  “S-e-e-e-ex?”


  “Alright. It’s time for us to go.”


  “Goodbye, dad!

  “Come again, dad!”


  I promised my twin daughters I would visit them soon as they saw me off.

  I hoped they’d swing their pillow gently. Otherwise, Festival might break while they were trying to catch the Heroes trying to create harems.

  “Okay. I’ll see you soon.”


  “Are we finally leaving?” Noebius, who had been waiting for a day, asked in a sharp tone.

  “Don’t you feel good after coming back to your hometown, my friend?”


  “This place brings up so many bad memories that they overwhelm the good ones I have.”


  “I see.”


  I didn’t even know what to say. It was wrong of me to bring it up.

  “S-e-e-e-ex!”


  “Okay. Stop begging me.”


  The Righteous Hero set out to save his friend’s wife!

  “S-e-e-ex~”


  “Were we really that close?”


  I thought the location was tens of light-years away, but we arrived here ten minutes after the stingray screamed for departure.

  Planet Palace.

  As its name suggested, Fugitive Senior turned this whole planet into a palace for him and his harem.

  And surprisingly…


  “So you’ve finally come, cheeky junior. I see you didn’t cowardly bring Mollan today.”


  Fugitive Senior was standing outside to meet us instead of sitting in his throne room.

  How did he know?

  “I am not like some innocent goddess.”


  ã??A certain restless demonic god laughs loudly.ã??

  … I could tell just by looking at him.

  He was powerful.

  It would be better for me if I were to assume a combat stance before he could.

  [Hero]

  I felt sorry for him, but our battle would be over in an instant.

  “Is that Providence?”


  “Oh? Can you see it?”


  “You shouldn’t underestimate me, junior.”


  [Undefeated]

  [Luck]

  He used his absurd divine powers.

  “Are you really an onion…?”


  “I didn’t want to use my hypocritical grandfather’s power even if it meant my death, but I can’t help it. It seems I might actually just die here.”


  “Are you talented?”


  Could this really be called my talent?

  “I couldn’t have become this strong in such a short time without my in-laws, so no. I don’t think so.”


  “No. You’re just ignorant of it.”


  “…”


  I couldn’t speak.

  The fight that I thought would end swiftly turned out to be surprisingly interesting.

  At that time, Fugitive Senior made a declaration.

  “If you’re truly talented, junior, you’ll meet your end here.”


  “No. I’ll win.”


  “Then we’ve reached an impasse.”


  Bang!

  I responded to my senior’s words with a surprise attack, thus marking the beginning of our battle!
