New Instance Unlocked

Akeno Himejima even reached out and touched Ren's forehead, worried that he might have damaged his brain from going out.

Okay, no fever, but maybe you've been cursed or poisoned.

She didn't want to lose her husband at such a young age!

Seeing everyone's reactions, Ren was both amused and exasperated.

"These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth."

"Ophis, you tell me whether I am your owner or not."

"What is the owner?"

She asked.

"It's the kind of relationship where you can't eat anything without me."

Ophis nodded expressionlessly upon hearing this, then said to the women, "Ren is my master."

"Hiss~~~"

The world is beginning a second round of warming.

Several minutes passed before everyone forced themselves to accept reality.

However, rather than considering the threat posed by Ophis, they, who were not the rulers, were more concerned about Ophis's private life.

For example, when was she born?

For example, where he has been, and why he became the leader of a terrorist group.

Ophis answered their every question with unwavering detachment and cold indifference.

Until the very end.

Rias stroked her chin. "So, does that mean Ophis will be living with us from now on?"

"And Miss Valerie, she'll have a hard time if we don't buy her some daily necessities."

"Ophis shouldn't need to buy any daily necessities. He can conjure clothes with his abilities, and his body should automatically stay clean."

"That's what Ren said."

But as soon as he finished speaking, his remarks were met with rebuttals from many girls.

"How can you do that? That's too pitiful. Ophis is a girl."

"Although you are Ophis's owner, you are still a boy. Only we girls truly understand women's issues, so you shouldn't interfere."

Minagawa Natsume stands with her hands on her hips.

"In that case, it's decided! Let's go shopping together!"

"But before that, we need to ask them what they want."

After they finished speaking, the girls began to ask Ophis and Valerie questions.

Valerie had no special requirements; she could be just like any other person.

When asked what Ophis wanted, she coldly replied, "The Great Red Head!"

Everyone said "Oh," and then quickly showed a helpless expression.

"We're not terrorists, and we don't have the head of the Great Red for you. Forget it, I'll take care of your personal life."

Rias gave a helpless smile.

Just then, Kuroka's soul asked, "Is Ophis a girl, meow?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and then looked at the black-haired loli.

Ophis shook his head slightly, bathed in the gazes of the crowd. "I don't understand."

"In that case, just ask her what style of underwear she wears, and then choose one that matches what she's currently wearing!"

Xenovia provided a solution.

Upon hearing this, Ophis immediately lifted her skirt and said, "I don't wear underwear."

By the time others tried to stop them, it was too late.

Ren activated the auto-aiming, his eyes involuntarily fixed on the target.

At that moment, all he wanted to do was recite a poem.

Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, fragrant grasses stretch to the horizon.

After deciding to buy everyday items for Ophis and Valerie as they moved into their new home, the women went to the mall together.

Having nothing better to do, Ren followed along.

The main reason, of course, is that no one but him can keep Ophis in check.

Fortunately, Ophis's personality is still young and innocent, and she didn't feel any resentment at all when Rias, Minagawa Natsume, and others dragged her shopping in their shopping mode.

The reserved Valerie is accompanied by Akeno and Koneko.

"This is a rare opportunity, Mr. Ren, why don't you come and buy some clothes too!"

"I don't need it."

"Don't mention it, don't mention it. I always feel that you're so beautiful, yet you dress so plainly. It's such a waste not to dress up a bit! Let me revamp your outfit!"

Minagawa Natsume pointed at Ren, who was playing on his phone, and said.

"No, you guys play today."

Ren didn't care about his outfit.

After all, clothes are easily torn during combat, so his current storage space is mostly filled with black or white items, including quite a few trench coats. Even if they get torn, it's easy to just change them.

"Ugh, this is so boring, but oh well."

Minagawa Natsume was somewhat discouraged and could only turn her anger towards Ophis.

However, she soon felt a strong sense of frustration from Ophis.

Because Ophis's opinion on all clothes is "not bad," Minagawa Natsume, a professional stylist, is quite helpless about Ophis's almost "casual" attitude.

"Limited-time clearance sale! Anything that fits in a bag, no matter how you do it, is only 5,000 yen!"

"Five thousand yen is a steal! First come, first served!"

Just then...

Nearby, next to a pile of department store goods, a shop assistant was shouting energetically through a megaphone.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged women, their faces filled with menacing intent, immediately moved closer, grabbing the goods and stuffing them into their bags, their frenzy no less than that of elderly people lining up to receive free eggs.

"Wait a minute! I got that dress first!"

"I was first!"

"There's no way I'll give this up! I absolutely won't let you have this dress! I was born into this world specifically for this day, and I will never lose to you!"

Amidst the throngs of people rushing to buy, Ren vaguely recognized a familiar figure.

Dressed in casual sportswear, Rossweisse, with her striking silver hair, stood out from the crowd of middle-aged women, her expression one of grim determination as she gathered a huge pile of discounted items into her arms.

When an older woman tried to snatch the items she had grabbed, Rossweisse immediately glared back with a fierce look.

Ren had previously asked Lavinia where Rossweisse had gone; turns out she was here doing promotions.

Although it sounds a bit strange that a professional Valkyrie from Norse Mythology would snag discounted items.

Chapter 259 New Dungeon Opens

The aftershocks of the vampire war continue to unfold.

The appearance and danger posed by Lizevim finally made many forces feel a real threat.

After all, the name "Beast of Revelation" is simply too resounding.

Although most gods previously believed it to be nothing more than a fictional doomsday monster created by the God of the Bible to demonstrate his power, the appearance of Lizevim proved this point.

In an instant, all the pantheons sensed a sense of urgency.

After all, the power of the Beast of Revelation is enough to rival the God of the Bible.

The God of the Bible is renowned and, during his lifetime, his power far surpassed that of Shiva, the second-ranked god of destruction.

If Lizevim were to break the seal on the Doomsday Beast, with his madness and the power of the Beast of Revelation, he would likely be able to easily destroy the entire world.

Therefore, many forces that had previously held a negative attitude toward signing a peace agreement with the three major powers have begun to make contact with them.

Some more hardline forces have stated that Lizevim is no longer an ordinary terrorist and that a strong crackdown is necessary.

Martial law will be imposed worldwide until Lizevim and the Beast of Revelation are completely destroyed.

However, Odin, Zeus, and several other chief gods rejected this suggestion.

After all, if martial law were suddenly imposed globally, the world would likely descend into chaos before Lizevim could even make a move.

Meanwhile, the main gods of the various factions have been holding remote meetings to discuss countermeasures.

Especially Griselda and Gabriel.

When Ren first met them, they were very capable and poised, but as things got busier, their image gradually began to spiral out of control.

Especially after Griselda returned from Romania, she was disheveled, her eyes were bloodshot, and her temper was much more volatile than before. She often lectured Xenovia, and she was completely unrecognizable as the refined and dashing woman she once was.

Really.

Even angels can turn from goddesses into ghosts after a period of intense work.

In contrast, Ren was having a very easy time.

After all, those political meetings and administrative matters were none of his concern.

For years, he has been shuttling between Kuoh Town and Kyoto, spending his days either flirting with beautiful girls or on his way to flirt with them.

Unfortunately, Yasaka didn't have time to meet with him because the other generals from the island nation were also there to sign the peace treaty.

In addition, Valerie and Ophis's check-in went very smoothly.

Valerie sunbathes every day, while Ophis plays games with Kuroka every single day, 24 hours a day without stopping.

[Please note that a new dungeon has been opened.]

[After completing the main quest, you will receive generous rewards depending on your completion rate and quest achievement.]

[Enter the instance immediately?]

The system notification sound suddenly rang out, interrupting Ren's usual slacking off.

"A copy?"

Ren was slightly taken aback.

But then I remembered that the dungeon system was a new feature that had only been added recently.

However, because there was no news for a while, Ren almost forgot about it.

"System, what does a copy look like?"

I asked Ren asked.

[The content of the instance is randomly selected by this system. The host can complete tasks in different instance worlds to obtain rewards.]

[You can return after completing the task, or you can abandon the task and return directly, but there will be no reward, and the current instance world will be permanently locked and you will not be able to enter.]

I didn't see this explanation in the last one.

Even if it's a punishment added on the spot, it's not a big deal.

It's much more humane than those systems that readily resort to execution or other punishments.

"By the way, let me ask again, what happens to the flow rate between the two worlds after I leave?"

Ren inquired earnestly.

He didn't want to come back to find that his girlfriends already had children.
