Rias: Double the Training? Are You a Demon? / Illyasviel: I Was Just Playing It Safe, Not Backing Down!

Administrator: "Ai, I never expected you to be this vicious! You actually researched something like that!"

Chu Chen immediately felt a chill run down his spine. Ai, when had she turned into such a mad scientist?!

Takamachi Nanoha and Fate both looked at Chu Chen, who was holding Orphis in his arms, with shining eyes.

A feminized version of Brother Chu Chen... I really want to see it!

Would his genes mutate and turn him blonde...? The blonde enthusiast tyrant suddenly had that thought.

Would it feel like suddenly having an extra older sister...? Fate, who had never had an older sister, could not help thinking that.

Feeling their burning gazes, Chu Chen silently declared to himself that he had to visit the Black Bullet world afterward and completely destroy that thing Ai had made... Cross-dressing might still be acceptable, but turning into a woman? Get lost!

Administrator: "Ahem, ahem... Let's change the subject. Aren't you interested in Orphis's King-tier reward?"

Haibara Ai: "What did Orphis get? I'm actually pretty curious. I feel like if I got a King-tier reward, I could take off on the spot. Considering my current situation..."

Busujima Saeko: "Ai is already very strong. After coming to this 680 world, her strength has improved very quickly! Even I might not necessarily be able to cut her down now..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "That exaggerated... Tsk, tsk... I'm a little jealous."

Orphis chose Option One and obtained the Bible God's inheritance.

Haibara Ai: "The Bible God! Hey, hey! It can't be the one I'm thinking of, right...?"

Administrator: "That's right. It's God."

Takamachi Nanoha: "I actually saw God..."

Loki: "Tsk, tsk... a God. Whenever I think of that guy, I think of that bearded fellow I saw in the divine realm... This is the first time I've seen such a cute God. How about I find a chance to kidnap Orphis back with me? Maybe I'll get to see that old man on our side looking like he's questioning his entire life..."

Ais Wallenstein: "Loki, troublemaker..."

Administrator: "That's normal. Loki is the God of Mischief to begin with. If she didn't cause trouble, she wouldn't be Loki! Oh, right, Loki, there's also someone called Loki on our side. Do you want to come over and meet him? And just so you know, he's male! He's also a chuunibyou maniac who wants to destroy the world and trigger Ragnarok. Want to come?"

Loki: "ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ! A male me! I want to see!"

Rias: Double the Training? Are You a Devil?

Scarlet magic erupted from Rias's hand. In an instant, the enormous magic power fired from her hand transformed into streams of Magic Bullets that shot toward Nanoha and Fate. Their speed was faster than lightning.

Those Magic Bullets contained a considerable amount of Destruction Magic, but compared to the Destruction Magic Chu Chen had seen from Sazex, they were far weaker. Before Sazex's Destruction Magic, Rias's Destruction Magic was practically no different from not using it at all. This was not meant to disparage her; it only meant that Rias had not focused on her own strengths.

Rias's magic power was indeed at the standard level of a high-class devil, no different from Asuna's.

However, Rias still lacked the necessary practice in the areas she excelled at.

Nanoha and Fate rapidly evaded in midair while the missiles around them flew toward the scarlet Magic Bullets.

Facing Rias, Nanoha and Fate had both suppressed their strength to the same level as hers.

There was no helping it. That had been Chu Chen's request. They were helping train Rias while also training themselves.

After all, although Nanoha and Fate's strength had increased rapidly, that very fact had also exposed their weaknesses.

Nanoha had obtained Orphis's template. Infinite Power had caused her magic power to surge to an inexhaustible level in an instant, making her endurance abnormally powerful and her offensive power terrifying... But Nanoha had also discovered a fatal problem—

Raising Heart could no longer keep up with Nanoha's needs. The magic power Nanoha unleashed barehanded was actually more outrageous than Raising Heart's, and once Raising Heart erupted with magic beyond a certain limit, the strain on the Magi Device itself was immense.

After Nanoha finished training with Orphis, she had actually run out with tears in her eyes and told Chu Chen that Raising Heart had developed cracks because of her Starlight Breaker bombardment. Chu Chen had found it rather amusing.

What was this? She had broken her own Magi Device through sheer use...

If Chu Chen had not used his Authority: Creation (Fragment 1) to figure out Raising Heart's structure, then silently used his inventory to repair and reinforce it, it still would not have been able to keep up with Nanoha's power.

Raising Heart itself had also fallen into a slump. As a weapon, being unable to keep up with its master's needs was truly...

Fate was somewhat better off. Magic Resistance only applied to defense... not offense...

So during this period, in order to improve Nanoha and Fate's combat experience, Chu Chen had them suppress their strength and serve as Rias's sparring partners, while he took charge of training everyone else.

Yes! That was right, Chu Chen had once again turned into a devilish coach and begun helping train Rias's Familia Members.

Koneko and Yuuto, like Asuna's Familia Members, were responsible for taking these Golems as their opponents.

As for Himejima Akeno, because her strength could be said to be the closest to Rias's, Chu Chen's training for her was different.

Orphis, meanwhile, stayed quietly in Chu Chen's arms like an adorably cute little creature, eating a lollipop.

She did not take these battles to heart at all. To Orphis, returning to the Dimensional Gap was probably what mattered most.

Originally, Orphis could have returned to the Dimensional Gap to challenge Great Red to a one-on-one battle, but...

Ding! A selection has begun! Selection time: 1 minute

The host of this system is currently preparing to return to the Dimensional Gap and defeat Great Red. At this moment, you may choose:

1. As the host of this system, how could she have so little popularity that she only fights alone? Please persuade System Network Administrator Chu Chen to accompany her in dealing with Great Red!

2. As the host of this system, she must naturally display the bearing of the Infinite Dragon God. Please charge alone into the Dimensional Gap, cut off Great Red's dragon head, then bring it before Chu Chen and the others to show off.

Selection rewards: Option 1: Allied Force Enhancement: Increase one's combat power by 10% × the number of allies

Option 2: Legendary BGM (Duration: 10 minutes. While the BGM is playing, strength increases by 10%)

When Orphis saw this mission, she first tilted her head, then prepared to ask Chu Chen.

However, Chu Chen said that if they were going to deal with Great Red, they would have to wait until he improved his strength some more.

At the same time, Chu Chen told Orphis about the existence of evil gods from Different Worlds in this world.

Originally, Orphis had come to persuade Chu Chen to deal with Great Red, but in the end, Chu Chen persuaded Orphis instead.

However, Chu Chen had also agreed to go deal with Great Red alongside Orphis, so—

Orphis quietly remained in Chu Chen's arms, holding a lollipop he had bought for her.

Yes! To take care of this little girl, Chu Chen had bought an entire box of the stuff for the house...

"Phew! She's only nine years old, so why is her strength even more outrageous than mine... Is this what they call genius?"

Seeing that Nanoha and Fate had completely blocked her attacks, Rias could not help grumbling.

Hearing Rias's complaint, Chu Chen could not help nodding as well.

Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate were practically standard protagonist templates. Hadn't Nanoha's students looked like they were questioning their entire lives when they saw nine-year-old Nanoha unleash a Convergence Cannon? They could not help wondering whether they had lived their lives for nothing! She was already this strong at nine, yet they were adults and still could not compare to her at that age.

However—

"Rias, do you still have the mood to complain? You can't get distracted during a battle..."

Chu Chen's kind reminder made Rias freeze slightly. Nanoha and Fate were flying so far away, and she could not catch up to them. Could they really fly over in the blink of an eye? Rias could not help ridiculing the thought internally, but—

A scene that made Rias's eyes nearly pop out unfolded before her. Fate's entire body actually seemed to turn into lightning, appearing before her in an instant. The Lightning Axe in her hand had already shifted into Sacred Blade Mode, and it came slashing down at her fiercely, wrapped in ice lightning!

"!!!!!"

Rias widened her eyes. Her immense Destruction Magic instantly formed into a sphere and blocked before her.

The instant the Sacred Blade's strike collided with the spherical Destruction Magic, it exploded.

The ice lightning strike completely dissipated in the collision with the Destruction Magic, while Rias was viciously knocked downward by Fate's impact. Her whole body turned into a meteor and crashed directly into the ground.

Chu Chen yawned and turned his gaze toward the others.

A Golem as tall as a building of more than twenty stories chased Himejima Akeno, while lightning tore through the air and bombarded the Golem.

Meanwhile, Koneko and Yuuto endured the pressure Chu Chen had released and narrowly dodged the Golem's repeated attacks.

Seeing this, Chu Chen nodded heavily. His gaze swept over Rias, who had just risen from the ground, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. As if deliberately speaking for her to hear, he said,

"It seems they're handling this kind of training quite easily. Starting tomorrow, then, let's double the training..."

"Bang!"

Rias, who had just stood up from the ground, immediately stumbled and fell down again.

Right then, she really wanted to crawl up, rush before Chu Chen, point at his face, and ask which eye had seen them taking it easy!

They had to double the training under this kind of pressure? Was this guy a devil?!

Ilyasviel: I Call That Following My Heart, Not Surrendering!

"This is the Bible God's inheritance and Orphis's template..."

That night, Chu Chen obtained Orphis's template and the Bible God's inheritance from Nanoha and Orphis.

In an instant, all the principles behind the Bible God creating Sacred Gears in this world flooded into his mind.

He had even obtained Orphis's Infinite Power. However, Chu Chen still had not figured out how to break through to Authority: Infinity (Fragment). Could it be that he could only improve further after obtaining powerful Divine Power?

Chu Chen used the power enhanced by the system to raise Orphis and the Bible God's powers to their limits.

But this time, Orphis's Infinite Power did not evolve into Authority: Infinity (Fragment).

"So in other words, becoming an Authority requires certain conditions before evolution can happen?"

Thinking this, Chu Chen silently took Orphis's snake from his system space.

Having fused with Orphis's template, Chu Chen could sense the Infinite Power flowing within it.

So that was it. Orphis had cut off a small portion of her own Infinite Power, which was why it was so expensive...

To Orphis, that small portion of Infinite Power was not a major problem... And the facts proved that Orphis had profited greatly this time. Authority: Infinity (Fragment) and Infinite Power were not concepts on the same level.

It was like an EX-rank Petrifying Magic Eye and Authority: Petrification (Fragment): one affected an individual, while the other affected the world!

If he wanted to evolve it into the power of an Authority, he would probably still have to travel to other 680 worlds and acquire new mysteries...

Just using the Infinite Power inside this snake as nourishment was not enough... After merging the Infinite Power from the snake into his body, Chu Chen could not help curling his lip.

However, the Bible God's power was not completely useless to me either.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Bible God's inheritance. Enhancement and integration have begun... It will merge with the host's power!

Sacred Gear Creation will be integrated into Authority: Creation (Fragment). Would you like to fully merge the Bible God's godhood and Divine Power into Authority: Creation?

"Can't this Divine Power be merged into another Authority?" Chu Chen could not help asking.

He had more or less realized that his system was rather aloof. Other than creating systems, it had little presence, and because of that, Chu Chen had initially nearly thought that creating systems was his own ability.

It has been determined that this Divine Power and godhood are most compatible with Authority: Creation (Fragment)... If merged into another Authority, strange chemical reactions may occur, and the Authority may even decompose into multiple abilities.

Holy crap! Authorities could decompose too? Was this thing joking with him?!

With that in mind, Chu Chen immediately merged all the Divine Power and godhood into Authority: Creation (Fragment).

The host's Authority: Creation (Fragment) has begun evolving. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Authority: Creation (Fragment) +1.

Reminder: Once Authority: Creation (Fragment) +1 is raised to +10, it can be combined into Authority: Creation. The same applies to other Authorities.

After obtaining Authority: Creation (Fragment) +1, Chu Chen merged the Magic Resistance he had obtained from Fate into Mystery Resistance (Fragment). Unfortunately, Mystery Resistance (Fragment) did not become +1. It seemed specific conditions truly were required.

Administrator: "Happy! I obtained a brand-new ability—Authority: Creation (Fragment) +1!"

Haibara Ai: "Authority! It sounds like something only gods can use. Has the Administrator become a god?"

Loki: "I have something like Authority too... It's just that my power has been sealed..."

Ilyasviel: "If Loki Sister hadn't spoken, we almost would have forgotten that she's a god too..."

Illyasviel von Einzbern: "Am I the only one curious why Teacher Chu Chen's Authority has the word Fragment behind it, and what that +1 means?"

Administrator: "That means it isn't a complete Authority of Creation yet. Only when it reaches +10 will it become a true Authority! So I still have a long way to go... Improving my strength really is slow..."

Haibara Ai: "You freeload rewards every day, and you still have the nerve to say that!"

Administrator: "Ai..."

Haibara Ai: "What shameless, dignity-destroying nonsense are you trying to say now? Aptx4869 warning! Gender Bender Potion warning!"

Administrator: "Actually, I wanted to say that you should be doing the system-selling missions I issued right now, but you still haven't sold a single system. You're focused entirely on sign-in rewards from other worlds. If we're really talking about freeloading, aren't you the ones freeloading too? How do you have the nerve to say I'm freeloading!"

Haibara Ai: "..."

That did make sense... But then Ai's expression suddenly changed again.

Haibara Ai: "That's not right! How can the sign-in rewards I earn through my own efforts in other worlds be called freeloading?!"

Ilyasviel: "Ai's skin is actually pretty thick too..."

Haibara Ai: "Illya, someone who surrenders and joins the Administrator's side at the drop of a hat has no right to criticize me! You even wrecked my setup... You deleted that perfectly good panda picture of the Administrator... Damn it!"

Ilyasviel: "I call that following my heart, not surrendering! Besides, Teacher Chu Chen isn't your teacher. If Teacher Chu Chen assigned you ten or a hundred sets of Huanggang Secret Scrolls, would you dare not follow your heart, Ai?"
