I, Izayoi Sakamaki, Joined the Chat Group at the Start

Luos Perseus, who had been brimming with confidence, instantly turned pale with terror. Watching the meteor draw closer, he instinctively reached for the pendant around his neck.

But an invisible force stopped him. It was the middle-aged man wearing the Genuine Invisibility Helmet.

"Lord Luos, leave it to me."

He looked back at the soldiers who had already fallen into despair. A trace of sorrow flashed through his eyes, but it quickly vanished. He picked up Luos Perseus and ran toward the outskirts.

The next moment, the meteor crashed into the Perseus Community's grounds. The immense impact made even the earth tremble, carving out a crater over a thousand meters deep.

That was not all. The remaining force turned into shockwaves, directly destroying everything in the Perseus Community.

The once-glorious city was reduced to ruins in an instant.

"Oh? There are survivors?"

Izayoi had been quite confident in that attack. In his original world, an attack of that level might not have been enough to blow up a planet, but destroying the surface would have been effortless.

Yet someone had survived such an attack?

He turned toward the source of life and saw a blood-covered man holding the panicked Luos Perseus. The man was already dead, and the Genuine Invisibility Helmet on his head had fallen to the ground.

The Loli Maid Is Acquired

"Damn it, damn it! You actually dared to destroy my Community!!"

Rudely shoving the corpse off himself, Luos Perseus wore a ferocious expression. But when he saw the face of the invading Demon King, his mind went blank for an instant. "You're No Name's..."

"Ah, that's right. Mr. Luos Perseus, heir to the mighty Perseus Community, I have come to challenge you. So? Are you satisfied with my strength?"

Seeing Luos Perseus's complicated expression of disbelief, rage, and unwillingness, Izayoi Sakamaki laughed without the slightest restraint before asking in a mocking tone.

"Damn it! You forced my hand! So what if you're a Demon King? Once I unseal this, you're as good as dead!"

Luos Perseus possessed an almost inexplicable confidence in the Gift hanging around his neck, as though he would be invincible as long as he held it.

He tossed the Gift Pendant high into the air and declared solemnly, as though making a proclamation, "Awaken, demon slumbering within a Star Spirit—Al-Al!"

"Oh? Something mildly interesting has finally shown up."

Al-Al, or rather Gorgon, was not merely the Snake-haired Woman familiar from mythology. She was also the Star Spirit corresponding to Perseus.

Star Spirits were the strongest race in Hakoniwa. Pure-blooded Dragon Clan ranked only second.

And the myth of Perseus went like this.

Perseus represented the hero Perseus from Greek Mythology. Legend had it that Perseus was the son of Zeus.

His stepfather, Polydectes, ordered him to find a way to obtain the head of the witch Medusa. Medusa's head was covered in venomous snakes, and anyone who looked upon her would turn to stone. With the gods' help, Perseus wore winged Flying Shoes and an invisibility cap. Using the reflection of a Bronze Shield to avoid her gaze, he used a Treasure Saber to cut off the monster's head. He then rode away from danger on a Pegasus that sprang from the witch's body. On his way back, he rescued Princess Andromeda and married her. In the end, he offered Medusa's head to the Goddess of Wisdom. The goddess fulfilled her promise and raised Perseus into the heavens, where he became the constellation Perseus.

Because Perseus was so dim, people in ancient times also called it the demon's constellation, believing it possessed demonic power.

In Hakoniwa, any Star Spirit was at least Four-digit, with most being Three-digit. Some had even attained the formidable strength of Two-digit.

The foremost examples were the Primal Star Spirit—White Night Yaksha—and Earth's Half Star Spirit—Sun Wukong.

As purple-black light flashed, a Banshee with a grotesque face, her body bound by several strips of bandages, appeared before Izayoi Sakamaki.

"AAAAAAAA—"

A shrill howl echoed through the Perseus Community's grounds. If someone with a weak soul had been present, their soul would have been ripped away and they would have died on the spot!

"Al-Al, hurry! Kill him!"

Thinking of the consequences of his defeat—not only would the flag representing his honor and the name Perseus be taken from him, but even his life would be lost—Luos Perseus sharply ordered Al-Al.

Having lost her reason, Al-Al immediately controlled her hair and sent it stabbing toward Izayoi Sakamaki.

A piercing whistling sound tore through the air. Izayoi Sakamaki curled his lips in boredom and casually reached out, catching the attack that could have pierced the earth's core in his hand.

"Is that all, Star Spirit?"

"H-How is that possible? Al-Al, use that! Destroy him!"

Seeing that his trump card had been completely ineffective against Izayoi Sakamaki, Luos Perseus commanded Al-Al to unleash her strongest attack!

Al-Al opened her huge, blood-filled mouth, and powerful energy began to gather. Ominous purple-black power formed into a black sphere hovering before her mouth.

The next moment, the black sphere turned into a solid beam and blasted toward Izayoi Sakamaki.

"Gorgon's Aura, the Gift that can easily petrify the world? Unfortunately, it's still not enough. Is this all Star Spirits are capable of?"

Seeing that the attack was only at the Four-digit level, Izayoi Sakamaki sighed regretfully and shattered the beam with a light punch.

The leaking energy turned everything nearby into salt. Whether it was the mutilated corpses of Perseus Community members or equipment scattered across the ground, nothing was spared.

"Oh, right. I seem to recall that the user can affect how powerful a Gift is, can't they?"

Suddenly seeming to remember something, Izayoi Sakamaki turned toward Luos Perseus, a teasing curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

"What? Wait, what are you trying to do? Don't tell me..."

As though realizing something, Luos Perseus panicked. A pair of wings extended from his Genuine Flying Shoes, and he fled at high speed in the opposite direction from Izayoi Sakamaki.

"Useless."

Izayoi Sakamaki merely glanced at him. His seemingly transformed Conqueror's Haki influenced reality itself, and his overwhelming spirit crushed down on Luos Perseus as though it had physical form.

Bang—

Thud—

As the Flying Shoes, now devoid of luster, fell to the ground, a small Blood Rain began to fall from the sky.

Let's Watch a Meteor Shower Together

Luos Perseus was dead. Leaving behind the Flying Shoes as spoils of war, he vanished from this world.

Casually picking up the Genuine Flying Shoes and Invisible Helmet, Izayoi Sakamaki looked at Al-Al, who had lost her controller.

Al-Al stood silently in place without the slightest movement, like a living statue.

"Ah, a Demon King who once shook Hakoniwa has actually become someone else's Gift? What a pity. What a pity."

Seeing Al-Al remain completely motionless, Izayoi Sakamaki shook his head in boredom. Then, as though unwilling to give up, he kicked Al-Al twice.

"Hey, I'll give you a chance. If you wake up now, I can give you the chance to become a Star Spirit again."

But silence and Al-Al's breathing were his only answer.

"Was that all? I should've played around a little longer."

With a trace of regret, Izayoi Sakamaki turned and prepared to leave.

But then a voice rang out in his mind.

"W-Wait... I... want... freedom..."

The crisp, stammering voice made Izayoi Sakamaki pause slightly. Then he smiled.

"Haha, sure. I promise."

After receiving Izayoi Sakamaki's affirmative answer, Al-Al's enormous body began to shrink.

Down to the size of an ordinary person...

Then the size of a loli...

Finally, she turned into a faintly glowing pendant and fell into Izayoi Sakamaki's hand.

"I... am willing... to become... your... servant... to be at... your command..."

The broken words came from the pendant, which immediately dimmed.

After thoroughly looting the Perseus Community, Izayoi Sakamaki finally found Leticia, who had been petrified.

Seeing the clouds in the sky about to disperse, Izayoi Sakamaki carried Leticia's stone statue out of the Perseus Community.

After returning to No Name, Izayoi Sakamaki placed Leticia on his bed. Then he took out Al-Al's pendant and used the Gift's power to undo Leticia's petrification.

"Mmph..."

After the petrification was lifted, Leticia groaned softly and gradually opened her eyes.

"This is..."

"Yo, you're awake, Leticia. This is No Name."

"According to our agreement, you belong to me now."

That arrogant, frivolous voice came from the bedside. Leticia turned her gaze toward the person sitting there.

"Izayoi... no... Master, it seems I've returned."

Leticia sat up in bed, holding her head with some discomfort as she spoke with a hint of delight.

"Yeah. Welcome back, Leticia."

"Thank you, Master. I thought I was going to be sold out of Hakoniwa. You truly are strong, Master."

Looking at Izayoi Sakamaki sitting beside her, Leticia revealed a faint smile.

It was good to be back.

"Then, my exclusive maid, would you like to watch a Meteor Shower with me?"

Suddenly seeming to think of something, Izayoi Sakamaki extended his right hand and invited Leticia like a gentleman.

"A Meteor Shower? Certainly, my Master."

She placed her delicate little hand in Izayoi Sakamaki's. Just as she was about to stand up, the room's door flew open with a bang.

"Something happened, Lord Izayoi! The Perseus Community was just attacked by a Demon—"

Black Rabbit had just learned through her ears that the Perseus Demon King had lost everything, and she rushed over in a panic to tell Izayoi Sakamaki.

But the moment she entered, she saw her senior lying on Izayoi Sakamaki's bed. Izayoi's body was also leaning slightly forward, as though he were about to do something inappropriate.

"AAAAAH—"

A scream comparable to Al-Al's echoed throughout all of No Name.

Izayoi Sakamaki and Leticia exchanged a look and both smiled helplessly.

This Black Rabbit...

"So Lord Izayoi suddenly became a Demon King, then went straight to Perseus, wiped out the Perseus Community, and took Senior Leticia back with him?"

"How can you call it taking her? I went through so much trouble to save her. According to the rules, she has to give herself to me."

"That's right. I already belong to Master now."

Following Izayoi Sakamaki's words, Leticia chimed in as well, completely ignoring Black Rabbit's lifeless expression.

"Hmph."

"Hmph!"

At that moment, two dissatisfied snorts came from beside Izayoi Sakamaki. They belonged to Hisato Asuka and Kasukabe Yō.

The two of them were extremely unhappy about Izayoi Sakamaki acting alone. They had originally thought he would wait until tomorrow to make his move, but he had been so fast that he returned with a maid in less than one night.

"Izayoi, you went out to have fun without taking us. I'm not talking to you anymore, hmph."

Kasukabe Yō, acting rather childishly, turned her face away with an expression that clearly said she was angry. Unless someone coaxed her, that little temper of hers would not go away.

"Exactly, exactly. A blonde maid—I've wanted one for a long time. Damn it."

Hisato Asuka was quite upset to see Izayoi Sakamaki with a beautiful blonde maid. She had wanted one for ages. If she had gone with him this time, she would at least have had one-third ownership.

White Night Yaksha's Shock

"Wait, isn't the most important issue that Lord Izayoi became a Demon King and wiped out the Perseus Community?"

Seeing the conversation veering off track, Black Rabbit hurriedly pulled it back and asked angrily, "Huh? Didn't I already say it? On our way back, I accidentally stepped on an Ant Demon King."
