Being a dragon, Ophis could sense the presence of her kind inside the gauntlet as well as the change in Asahi’s aura. Ophis couldn’t wrap her head around it, so she stared inquisitively at Asahi.

“Is that a dragon soul? How did you… become a dragon?”

Asahi was tempted to throw out Great Red’s name just to watch Ophis’ reaction to the betrayal.

(Loli dragon’s wrath… let’s not go there, shall we?)

Asahi chuckled at Klyscha’s trembling voice. He introduced the loli dragon god to God’s genius concept of the Boosted Gear and the Longinus.

“Make one with Stupid Red?” Ophis asked and pointed at the Boosted Gear. “Stronger weapon.”

“Asahi, what is wrong with her?” Ddraig yelled in a lively voice as she manifested in her chibi form. “Great Red isn’t someone we can fight!”

Ddraig wasn’t fond of Ophis’s idea to pitch Asahi against Great Red. She hadn’t met Great Red in person, but Albion had. The battle-maniac White One acknowledged Great Red’s aura was endless like the Dimensional Gap he occupied.

“Coward,” Ophis berated Ddraig. “Weak.”

Asahi put the groaning Ddraig on his lap and smacked her head. “I’m going to beat Great Red just like I beat you.”

Ddraig couldn’t say anything when he sounded so confident. The same confidence he showed when he challenged her and ultimately bested her in combat.

“Why don’t we bet on the winner?” Asahi gave a provocative grin. “Ddraig, the Red Dragon Empress won’t back down from a challenge, now would she?”

Ddraig bit on his finger and slipped away. “In your dreams. I have but one condition: the use of the Boosted Gear is prohibited.”

“Handicapping me, huh. Alright. I will win without the Boosted Gear.”

He didn’t need any external help in fighting an opponent with the same expertise as Klyscha. He might not win, but he definitely wouldn’t lose.

“So what’s my reward for winning?” Ddraig asked, seemingly confident in her victory. History failed to teach her anything.

“The winner can make the loser do anything. Anything, you hear?”

Ddraig floated aimlessly in the air, wondering about her desires. The two skills she received after the pact had solved her biggest troubles. She had no haunting concern at the moment.

‘I can use it later when Klyscha bullies me.’

Ddraig nodded to herself. “Agreed.”

“Sweet.”

Ophis, who had been standing in silence until now, spoke of her desire, “Make Red disappear.”

Asahi aggressively ruffled Ophis’s hair. “No need to be that extreme.”

Ophis looked up at him in astonishment. No one apart from Great Red ever dared to touch her, much less ruin her hair this way. This gave her more assurance of Asahi’s victory over Great Red.

The man in question was pondering over his future. The next step in his journey. He loved adventuring just as much as he loved to sit around and spent time with his family. Great Red was indisputably the strongest being in the world excluding the ExE world. Although she was at the threshold of Level 500, Asahi was confident of defeating her. Unless the ExE world came for an intergalactic war, he would pretty much become the strongest person in the world.

The room for his growth shrank considerably in this world. In Orario, there was still the looming threat of the dungeon with fifty-plus floors left to explore. He intended to clear it in the month leading up to his marriage. The two worlds had no challenges for the current Asahi.

(Very few worlds can keep up with my love now…)

‘Don’t worry. I got the Almighty Klyscha Points to raise the power levels.’

(Hehe, what will we do?)

‘Empower a world with super-strong enemies. Something like One Punch Man.’

Putting aside the comically overpowered protagonist Saitama, the world had much to offer in terms of villains.

(A modern world… Alise and Ryuu would love that. You want to finish your education?)

‘Well, I can have fun with some part-time studies.’

He could also have fun with the Tatsumaki sisters while he was there. They were his favorite waifus in the One Punch Man world. There were many other worlds on his list.

‘Let’s tie up the loose ends here before diving into a new world. One of them is finding Saeko’s father.’

He owed the sisters this much for their selfless affection. His only concern was Ais. He would miss years of her growth if he went to his previous world. He also didn’t want to bring Ais along, which will set her years behind her peers.

(We can’t do anything to settle that… I should have included a world stasis function in the Heavenly Path… it was a lack of foresight on my part…)

‘I can always bring the whole Loki Familia with me. Though, if they declined... I need an item that will give me the time element.’

Freezing an entire world’s timestream was no joke, but he might succeed if he mastered the elemental form of the time element. Embodying time might be the most disorienting experience.

(There are the skill orbs you previously used to learn the stealth skill. One of them can awaken the time element.)

He had yet to try the darkness elemental form. The element was overall creepy. Dark in nature and the ability to revive the dead as undead made it a top-tier choice for necromancers. The darkness element was best suited for stealth.

There were so many elements he had yet to acquire.

‘Sweet.’
