"Since the Campiones have taken action, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Erica was still young and had never personally witnessed the true power of Campiones or Heretic Gods.
She even harbored ambitions of challenging a Heretic God and becoming a Campione.
However, only those who had truly faced such monsters understood how miraculous the so-called act of slaying a god truly was.
Without a fated destiny, even standing before a Heretic God would bring nothing but despair.
Let alone raising a sword against one.
Even someone as powerful as the highest-ranking knight, Paolo, could do nothing but kneel before a Heretic God.
That feeling was completely different from facing a Campione.
Yes, in terms of life essence, Heretic Gods surpassed Campiones.
To put it simply, Campiones were still humans.
Aside from acquiring Authorities and near-infinite magicules, they were no different from Paolo or Erica.
But Heretic Gods were different.
They could not be understood through common sense.
They were beings of another dimension, far superior to humans.
However, neither uncle nor niece knew.
As they marveled at the terrifying might of a Heretic God, in a hotel in Athens, Greece, a white-haired, red-eyed girl was gently massaging the muscles of the man lying on the bed and circulating his blood.
"How do you feel?"
"Hmm, very good."
Rin enjoyed Testarossa's service as their main bodies lay together, eyes closed in sleep.
Yes, Rin had not been able to resist Testarossa and had taken her first time.
"But, won't you be too tired doing this?"
"No, I won't."
Testarossa smiled. "Although my main body is indeed very tired, here, I only feel peace."
As she said this, the girl placed a hand on her lower abdomen.
There was nothing there.
But she could feel the fullness from her main body.
"Also, I suddenly understand the Star King Dragon's thoughts."
"Hmm?"
Rin's expression changed. He sat up and looked at Testarossa seriously. "Don't make such jokes."
He hadn't expected Testarossa to have such an idea.
While Rin didn't mind if his women bore his children.
For a Primordial Demon like Testarossa, once she conceived, the result would likely be tragic.
A life for a life was almost inevitable.
Even the Star King Dragon, after having Milim with Luchia, lost most of his power and fell.
Rin didn't care.
He had enough magicules. Giving some away was nothing.
Let alone one child, even ten or a hundred wouldn't be enough to cause his death like the Star King Dragon.
But Rin was Rin, and Testarossa was Testarossa.
As a mother, she absolutely could not pay such a price.
"Is it really not possible?"
"..."
Rin really wanted to firmly say no.
But seeing Testarossa's pitiful expression, he couldn't help but soften.
After all, every woman longs to bear a child for the one she loves.
Testarossa was no exception.
Rin didn't completely reject the idea. Anyway, with Testarossa's status, conceiving a child would take at least several decades, maybe even a century.
By then, Rin believed he would've already found a solution to the problem of childbearing.
"Really?!"
A glint of cunning flashed in Testarossa's eyes. Getting Rin's promise was enough to make her content.
"Once I find a solution."
Rin said, "You can have as many as you want."
"No, you were waiting for me to say that, weren't you?"
At this point, Rin could clearly see Testarossa's intentions.
"I know I was wrong, Master..."
Testarossa quickly admitted fault, then began to act spoiled and clingy.
She was clearly one of the most aloof and proud among the Primordial Demons.
But in front of Rin, Testarossa couldn't help but reveal her feminine side.
It could only be said that once demons found their home, their craving for genuine emotion far surpassed that of humans.
Knock knock!
"Rin-sama."
Diablo's voice came from outside the door. Testarossa quickly got up and began helping Rin get dressed.
"Come in."
Rin sat on the sofa, took the red wine Testarossa handed him, and looked at Diablo, who was kneeling on one knee.
"How's the investigation going?"
"We successfully found the relic that summons the Heretic God."
"Additionally, the magicians in this city have been placed under my control and can perform the Heretic God summoning ritual at any time."
Diablo possessed the power of temptation, and after acquiring Lucifer's divinity, corrupting people had become effortless.
The magicians had no resistance against a Heretic God.
It was no exaggeration to say,
Athens was now under Diablo's control.
If he wished, he could make everyone in the city become believers to summon a god and complete the ritual at any time.
"Do not harm the innocent."
Rin didn't care about the lives of the people in this world.
But harming innocents indiscriminately for power,
That was not Rin's way.
"Please rest assured."
Diablo said, "I will only borrow their power. Once the god's descent is complete, I will restore their freedom and erase all memories of this period."
"Hmm."
Though it still felt like pretending to be virtuous after acting shamelessly, Rin at least upheld his bottom line.
Compared to the Campiones, Heretic Gods, and even the magicians who disregarded laws in this world, Rin was already restrained enough.
"Furthermore, there's one more thing."
Diablo said, "Just last night, quite a few ignorant individuals tried to spy on us."
"Spirit vision?"
Rin thought of the special abilities that witches and miko possessed in the Campione World. "And then?"
"Most of the spirit visions weren't qualified to look directly at us."
"But a few..."
Diablo revealed a strange smile. "I gave them an unforgettable lesson."
"..."
Rin didn't care about these things. He wouldn't allow Diablo to show mercy.
If the other party had already made a move, showing mercy wasn't kindness. It was foolishness.
