Chapter 174: Emergency Quest's End
--- Chapter 171 ---
After erasing the Nether God's existence from the Everlith Universe, one year went on very quickly. Titania von Vasltrax revived everyone killed in the accident and even rebuilt some empires, so the Kroman in her domain could live easier.
However, despite the crisis, the Black Pearl Castle successfully became a religious place that only the leader of an empire could visit. And considering how much Huo Yuhao portrayed when fighting the Nether God, it was understandable.
Now, you might wonder.
Why did Huo Yuhao decide to stay one more year in Titania Bolos when he had already finished his Emergency Quest?
The answer is pretty simple, Titania's request because she wanted him to pay her back, and Nox Emperor, who likes to hand over the "Everlith Universe." to him.
He "officially." conquered the Everlith Universe and added it to his Main Quest's objective, despite not completing the Highschool DxD first.
Is this a work of fate?
Huo Yuhao honestly didn't know.
After experiencing the cliche transmigration quest, Huo Yuhao realized he wasn't that invincible or omnipotent. He also has weaknesses here and there, but giving up won't solve them.
Of course, Huo Yuhao still wanted to retain his first life as everything related to his adopted mother seemed gone. He couldn't even remember her name, having a horrible headache every time he tried to recall it.
That's his first goal.
The second one is the Greatest Upgrading System's origin.
Such a flexible yet powerful system wouldn't exist without its creator, no?
What kind of being actually created Evo?
Huo Yuhao has been wondering for almost 19 years about this matter but decided to cease his curiosity because developing the Dragon Nest and conquering another world were more important at the time.
Well, the future would unfold the mystery sooner or later.
...
...
At the Black Pearl Castle's Castellan Room, Huo Yuhao awakened from his sleep and yawned lazily. He rubbed his eyes and looked around briefly, seeing several beautiful women on his emperor-size bed.
'Maybe I should hold back a little? At this rate, I'll become addicted to sex-! I mean dual cultivation.' He faked a cough, feeling soft breathing on his left side.
A naked Titania was coming into Huo Yuhao's vision, making a small smile appear on his face. Even though their relationship developed so much in the last few years, it was nothing more than heir-beneficiary.
It also applies to Lily de Kemos as she becomes a friend with benefits, but only with Huo Yuhao. As for the rest of the ladies, they are Huo Yuhao's loyal slaves and servants.
"Mm, Master~!" Another beautiful woman purred on Huo Yuhao's other side, hugging his arm tightly between her bosom. She had unparalleled beauty, long platinum hair, and dim purple eyes with an "x." shaped pupil.
Her body is well-endowed in three specific areas, but that ass. That ass of hers is incredible.
Oh yeah, this woman is the Nox Emperor herself. Raki del Krolamine.
She used a prohibited technique and traveled through several dimensions to reach Titania Bolos. Usually, she would take several years to traverse between the solar systems, but the Nether God's appearance aroused Kroman's interest all over the Everlith Universe.
"Everyone, wake up. It's time for me to say farewell." Huo Yuhao leaned on his pillow.
As if a fire alarm gets pulled, every lady on the bed opens their eyes instinctively and reacts in panic.
"W-wait, Oberon. We still have a few days in our contract, right?" Titania hugged him like a koala. And yes, she started calling him Oberon after giving her second heart a year ago.
"Y-Yes, Master. Why don't you stay a little bit longer?" The Nox Emperor supported Titania's statement, which rarely happened. "I'm sure your family on the other side could wait two or three more days..."
Huo Yuhao sighed in defeat because he had done everything he could do in this place. His Ancient Ink Devil's bloodline has fused perfectly with him.
"You know I can't, right?"
Hearing those words, the ladies made sad expressions and lowered their faces.
"W-Will you ever return, Master?" Alexandra von Admante parted her lips slowly. "After all these years..."
"We can't live without you anymore."
"Even the slightest second felt like an eternity."
"Your shadow warriors are lucky because they can accompany you everywhere, but what about us? No, what about turning all of us into shadow warriors as well?"
Huo Yuhao sighed and responded, "Haa... We have talked about this, Alexandra."
"Extracting one's shadow into my army adds a certain amount of bad karma to my soul. I interfered with the natural laws of the "Everlith Universe." and so the answer is still no."
"Then, bring us with you!" Titania complained with a pout.
"Yes, BRING US, Master~!" Raki grinned excitedly, which left Huo Yuhao speechless. This woman wants to run away from her duty.
Huo Yuhao flicked Raki's forehead and commented, "What do you think would happen when two of the strongest devils in this fucking world disappear from their post? A being like the Nether God will knock on your front door again."
"You might see him as a weakling, but the Nether God I fought is not in his full power. I was lucky to be able to reduce his strength."
The atmosphere becomes grim as what Huo Yuhao said is true.
Without Titania and Raki, the Everlith Universe will fall into chaos, and only a handful of people could handle it.
Huo Yuhao looked at their dejected expression and continued, "Don't worry... I'll be back, surely."
"After all, this universe has become mine."
"Right, Raki?" He pecked the Nox Emperor's forehead.
Raki purred in joy and replied, "Mm~! The Everlith Universe is yours, Master~!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head and talked with the ladies casually, making them laugh. However, it quickly evolved into an intense orgy.
A few hours later, Huo Yuhao sat in the dining room and enjoyed his last breakfast in the Everlith Universe. Damian was wiping his tears and spoiled the mood.
"I'm not going to die, Damian."
"I only returned to my homeworld for a few years. And after that, I'll immediately create a tunnel back."
"Can I hug Your Highness? I know Young Master Theo passed away years ago. Still, can you please act like him for a moment...?" Damian suddenly requested. "I watched him grow. I watched him cry silently and couldn't bring myself to heal his agony."
"Wait a minute. I want to finish this warm soup first. Just like usual." Huo Yuhao replied with a smile, which made Damian cry even more as that smile does remind him of Theomars.
Finishing the soup, Huo Yuhao stood up and walked to Damian.
Damian hugged him like a father Theomars couldn't have and said countless words of sorry. He cried like an ugly duck, making Huo Yuhao's clothes damp and dirty.
Huo Yuhao patted Damian's back and said, "Damian, Theo is grateful for your presence. Believe me or not, Theo remembered his joyful memory with you at his last moment."
"Do you know what he thought when closing his eyes for eternity?"
"P-Please tell me..." Damian wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
Huo Yuhao smiled like foolish Theomars and said, "Thank you for everything, Damian. I know this wasn't a proper goodbye, but I hope you can live well."
"You're my father figure. The only person who gives me warm soup every cold weather."
"I wish... You'll be free from this guilt."
"Goodbye, Ian."
Sobs!
Damian dropped to the floor and hugged his knees, smiling with snots all over his face. "Goodbye, Young Master Theo..."
"I appointed you as Vice Castellan." Huo Yuhao dropped a clean blanket over Damian's shoulder. "Take care of this place for me while I'm away."
Damian watched Huo Yuhao leave the dining room and answered with conviction, "I will! Leave it to me, Your Highness."
Walking to the garden, Huo Yuhao saw the ladies waiting for him.
"I can't bring you back. My power only allows one person-travel as this world isn't stable-!"
"We KNOW!" They shouted back, stunning Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao blinked in surprise and reacted awkwardly, "What?"
Titania sighed and commented, "We know. Stop repeating yourself already."
"We give up on following you back to your homeworld. What a shame, though."
"I was expecting an exciting journey with my Oberon~!" She added with a teasing tone.
"..." Huo Yuhao.
"We are here to say farewell too, Your Highness." Lily walked forward and placed something in Huo Yuhao's hand. "This is nothing compared to your action for us, but please receive it."
Huo Yuhao looked down and saw a slim-looking book containing several secret techniques involving formation arrays. It compiled all knowledge from the Everlith Universe, especially the Nox Emperor's royal library.
"Thanks." Huo Yuhao rubbed Lily's head.
Placing the book into the Inventory, the ladies suddenly surrounded Huo Yuhao and hugged him.
"See you again, Your Highness/Master/Oberon~!!!"
[You have obtained Ancient Godlight Devil's Bloodline]
[You have received Fairy Queen's Innate Spirit]
"See you again." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes.
[Returning to the temporary Homeworld: Highschool DxD]
...
...
Huo Yuhao felt a muddy sensation all over his body. It was "actually." Primordial Ink, which covered his body when the Emergency Quest got triggered.
[DING! You have finished the Emergency Quest]
[Onyx Brush(EX), Ancient Ink Devi's Memory, and 1x Platinum Upgrading Ticket]
[Unsealing the Upgrade Function]
[Unsealing the ban on Inventory]
[Do you want to fuse your side status to Main Status?]
[Warning! There is a chance for some skills to get fused with already existing skills]
[Warning! There is a chance for a skill to disappear upon merging]
[Do you want to fuse Oberon von Vasltrax's Status to your Main Status?]
[Yes/No]
"How long would it take?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly, absorbing the Primordial Ink into his body. He was "immediately." welcomed with the sight of a white-marbled altar and several familiar faces.
[Around 30 minutes]
"What about the side effects?"
[The Host won't suffer any side effects]
"Then, Do it." Huo Yuhao stretched his body slightly.
A beautiful silhouette flashed before Huo Yuhao's vision, cracking a happy smile on his handsome face.
"Yuhao-sama!"
Grayfia Lucifge lunged toward Huo Yuhao and tackled him to the floor, hugging him tightly.
Huo Yuhao immediately kissed Grayfia, feeling up her sweet lips and mouth. Her breathing became heavier as her face flushed with redness.
"I'm back, Grayfia."
"Mm, Welcome Back. Yuhao-sama."
