Chapter 47: Time skip

2 weeks later...

During this time Akio and the Haulia finished their mission in Hoelscher Empire. All the demi-humans were freed from slavery. Akio also used this chance to play the role of a god saying the Haulia were his messengers and enforcers. He also slandered Ehit's name to which people started to question their faith. 

In the same way as last time he made a show when he returned the demi-human slaves to Verbergen getting himself more worshippers.

He also made sure his logo was spread by letting the Haulia wear it. With this not only did his logo spread but it also made it clear that the Haulia held some sort of connection to me. This made it so the elders of Verbergen had to directly beg for forgiveness.

Walking down a steep mountain in the Heiligh Kingdom were Akio and his wives. They had just finished clearing the 'Divine Mountain Labyrinth', giving them spirit magic and making it the 5th ancient magic they had obtained. 

Surprisingly two others were also traveling with the group. Those two were Remia and Myu who had a slightly different appearance. 

Remia had turned more beautiful and looked younger. She wore a black combat suit and it was visible from her build that she had gained a little muscle. 

Myu on the other hand just had her cuteness amplified but still wore the same clothes as she always had. 

The two as you may have guessed had received Ava's blessing. That was not all, however, as Akio and Remia got closer she expressed a desire to become stronger to not go through what she had before, even though Akio expressed that he would make sure they were never harmed again. 

Myu had said generally the same thing although it was clear she wanted strength for more mischievous purposes. 

So Akio gave both of them the concept of an infinity-endowed, one-stage evolution pill. Their race changed to Infinite Dagon and with their evolution, their natural senses and physical ability grew. They also gained the ability to sense mana and gained an affinity for all of them thanks to Ava's blessing. 

Akio spent time in the dimension training them and it wasn't long before they reached the highest class of strength in the world and were about the same level as an apostle. 

Remia's primary way of fighting was with something that looked like a light saber and continuously shot out extremely pressurized water that was stored in a separate dimension. 

Myu opted for learning the fighting style of all her big sisters just as she did in the original. Still, her talent with weapons was truly impressive.

The group planned to look at the scenery a little more then go back and prepare for the next labyrinth. 

That was the plan, however...

"We have finally found you, you bastard." 

A voice came from directly in front of the group drawing the attention of the group. There stood a group of people most of them recognized as their classmates.

At the front of the group was Kouki who currently had an insane look on his face. 

"Your evil-doings have not gone unnoticed you manipulator we will put an end to you here and now." Kouki continued to speak a feral grin on his face. 

"Haha, Aki it looks like someone doesn't like you. Haha, this is a first." Miledi on the side started laughing while floating mid-air while the rest of the girls stood there in confusion.

"Amanogawa, what the hell are you saying," Shizuku spoke while also taking note of the unfocused eyes of the rest of the party. 

"Do not worry Yaegashi I will save all of you. You may not be able to see it but that man is brainwashing you." Kouki spoke with a smile as if what he was saying wasn't absurd. 

"Amonogawa, take a breath and stop making false accusations, you may be a member of Yaegashi dojo but I will not hesitate to cut you down if you openly threaten Akio again," Shizuka spoke her words turning dark.

"It's a shame but you will thank me later, right when I kill this BASTARD!" With those words, Kouki took off running his sword drawn as he started to swing it when he approached Akio. 

That was before...

*slash* 

Kouki's arm that was holding the holy sword flew in the air as blood gushed from the bit still attached to his body.

"GAHHHHHHHH." Kouki made a blood-curdling scream as he flew back in the air before landing back where the other party was still staring with a blank look. 

He held the remaining part of his arm as he then looked back at the group. 

"YOU BASTARD, I KNEW IT, THIS ISN'T ENOUGH. I need more... I NEED MORE POWER." As those words left his mouth a change started to occur with his appearance. 

His limbs started bulking up and turning red. His arm regenerated as his body kept on expanding. Veins could be seen on the still normal-sized head of Kouki as his body inflated like a balloon. His hair started to rapidly lose color before it eventually fell off completely. 

He now stood at a height of 3 meters while his body looked disgusting. His arms and legs were as big as door frames while his abdomen looked like it was about to burst. 

His sword also went through a change as it started radiating black energy. It flew forward to Kouki before arriving in his hand. 

The sight overall was disgusting looking and it made all who saw it sick to their stomach.

"His soul is completely corrupted there is no saving him." Akio turned to Shizuku who still had a dark look on her face. 

"You have no one to blame but yourself. *sigh* I'll handle it." With those words, Shizuku withdrew her Katana before she faced the abomination that was once named Kouki. 

With only one step she arrived in front of it before her katana was swung to its neck. 

It seemed the party behind Kouki tried to react and send magic spells to intercept, but that was all pointless. 

The sword went straight through cutting off the head of the former disciple. The magic had finally reached where Shizuku was but by then she was already back with Akio bear hugging in for support. 

It wasn't the fact that she killed Kouki that made her need support, but the question of whether her family would support her decision.

With that, the head fell to the floor and created an audible thud. 

It was around that time that the rest of Akio's group had picked up several hundreds of thousands of magic signatures all coming to their location.

Already knowing what was happening Akio used his wind magic and moved all of his brainwashed classmates to their side before restraining them with earth magic. 

"They are only brainwashed, it'll only wear off when we end the one who cast it," Akio spoke answering the confused faces of his companions. 

Soon the mana signatures reached the mountain before slowly ascending in the air. 

One being came into view first as they spoke aloud in a clear voice.

"Irregular you have been marked as a threat to my lord's game and you have been marked for removal, I recommend not struggling if you wish to go painlessly." The figure who was now revealed to be Hearst started to charge up her magic.

*sigh* 

Akio raised his arm preparing to just wipe out the insect in front of him, but before he could someone came in front of him and pushed his arm down. That same figure then leaned in and stole Akio's lips. 

When the kiss was done and they separated the figure was revealed to be Miledi who had a sinister smile on her face.

"Aki, remember your promise you said I could have my revenge. So let me kill this bitch." Miledi spoke her words turning to hate as she remembered the fight they had with Hearst from before. 

"All yours," Akio responded while giving Miledi a push.

"Hehe." Miledi flew up in the air before going full speed at Hearst. 

"ROUND 2 BITCH." Miledi yelled before she sent a punch full force at the surprised Hearst. 

"You, your-." Hearst's words were cut off as her entire left arm and wing were blown off when the fist made contact. They both were spent spiraling down the mountain where Miledi would make sure to thoroughly get her revenge. 

Back on top of the mountain Akio and co were still standing there and watching as tons of demonic monsters marched forward. Following them, Akio could see a white dragon flying above the group as it sped forward when it saw the group of Akio.

When it arrived the two people who were on the dragon could now be seen. 

"Oh heyyyyyyy, well if it isn't the heretics, nice to see you here." Eri Nakamura spoke with a smile before she started to scan the area.

"Strange where is Kou-."

"!!!!"

"Kou-ki. I-is that you."

Eri jumped off the dragon all playfulness gone from her voice as she went over to the body of the now-dead Kouki.

At the same time the other figure on the dragon showed himself to be Daisuke Hiyama, right now his gaze was locked in on Kaori who was standing next to Akio. 

"Tch, bastard, no worries I will make sure you pay," Daisuke whispered to himself. 

At the same time as Daisuke spoke a wave of disintegration feathers was sent toward Akio. 

"Y-you k-killed h-him." Standing up with now grey hair and grey eyes was Eri. She now also had wings on her back as she was in her newly obtained apostle form. 

It was around this time the students behind Akio started to wake up signifying the defeat of Hearst. 

"Eri, what." The one who spoke was Suzu Taniguchi who was looking at the scene in shock. 

She was ignored however as with a lifeless expression on her face Eri summoned two short swords before dashing forward to Akio. 

Almost simultaneously Daisuke also jumped off the dragon aiming his sword to pierce Kaori so that he could get Eri to revive her later as a mindless zombie. 

Akio saw all of this in slow motion, he also saw the confused faces of Shizuku, Kaori, and Komi as they looked at Eri with surprise not expecting the always gentle classmate they knew to be like this. Still, that didn't last long as their faces went from shock to uncaring. 

She may be a classmate, but anyone who openly tries to kill their lover would meet the same fate no matter who they were. 

Akio smiled seeing once again how much his lovers cared for him as his already infinite love increased further.

With one motion he first took care of the pest from above, not even thinking of giving him a quick death. With just a thought he activated his gravity magic, immediately sending him crashing to the ground no real distance from where he jumped. 

After that, he just backhand slapped Eri back to where Kouki was. That all happened in a tenth of a second. 

When time seemed like it flowed normally again both the attackers were on the ground coughing blood. 

Akio then walked up to Daisuke who was glaring at him like he killed everyone he ever loved. 

"I already planned to put an end to you when I became aware that you were plotting to get Kaori, so any mercy will not be given. Akio spoke calmly as he stared down at Daisuke. 

"Bastard, you think you've won?" Daisuke still under Akio's gravity started to transform the same way as Eri. His hair and eyes turned grey as wings grew on his back. 

Still, even with the increase in power, there was nothing he could do. Akio reached out his hand and touched Daisuke's forehead. 

With that, he transferred over one ability from his concept of infinity. Infinite regeneration, his body no matter what would indefinitely regenerate as long as there was mana.

With that Akio just like he did with the slave traders, made a small box just enough to fit his body and a few other things. On all sides of the box, he made portals all connected to each other. He then took a few knives that had the enchantment of not losing momentum before throwing them hard into the portals. When that happened all the knives without colliding started going through portals as they continuously went across the box before going into a portal and being sent back to the previous portal. 

With that, he then put the still struggling Daisuke into the box and watched as almost immediately the knives started tearing him to shreds as he continuously regenerated. Akio then made a hole and put the box in while still hearing the screams of Daisuke. He then placed the dirt back on top of the box before adding barriers to it to make sure it was impossible to escape. 

Like that Daisuke would suffer for eternity without being able to even die. 

Turning his attention back to the girls he saw them looking at him with a small blush. They cared little for the suffering of the man and put more attention on the fact that Akio was willing to make a man suffer endlessly for them. It was an understatement to say they felt extremely loved. 

Akio only gave a small smile before his cold look returned to the girl who was holding the head of Kouki in her arms.

"I will do it, after all, I was the one who foolishly believed she was my friend," Kaori spoke her usual gentleness completely gone. 

Walking forward Kaori prepared a light spell that would instantly kill the girl. 

"Was it worth it?" She spoke referring to Eri's betrayal.

"For his love, I'd do anything. Hurry up and end me you bitch." Eri spoke in a soft yet helpless voice as if she had given up. Which she did, she saw no reason to live if the one she loved more than life itself had been killed.

Hearing her words Kaori with a sad look released the magic completely disintegrating the girl along with the head of Kouki. 

*Sigh* 

Kaori walked back to Akio only slightly affected by what she had just done. 

.

.

.

After a while, a voice was heard coming from the sky. 

"Yahoo, Aki I'm done that hateful bitch is gone." Miledi fell from the sky and was caught by Akio who gave her praise.

"Good job, I'm sure your old companions would be happy." 

"Hehe, can we go home now? I'm too energetic and I need a way to get rid of it." Miledi on a rare occurrence was the one who tried seducing Akio. She licked her lips as she stared deeply into Akio's eyes with passion the same elated smile on her lips. 

"Mhm, let me just handle the rest of these insects." Akio kissed her before putting her down and floating up in the air. 

When he was high up and had a good view of the kingdom he like he did in Verbergen sent a wave of light that vaporized anyone or anything it came into contact with. In only a few minutes every demon that had invaded the kingdom was gone as well as the pope and his subordinates who were in the middle of trying to cast a debuff on Akio. 

With all his enemies done for Akio took the girl's back to the dimension and gave Miledi the attention she was craving. 

.

.

.

In the next few days, Akio spent some of his time in the kingdom increasing the number of his followers with displays of power. He like he did with Hoelscher slandered Ehit. When everything was over and done with he made one final act of restoring the entire kingdom to what it was before the attack including the barrier, this made some start believing as they threw away their faith for Ehit. 

In the castle, Akio arranged a meeting between the leaders of the major nations.

This included Gahard D. Hoelscher, Eliheid S.B. Heiligh, Ulfric Heipyst, and various others. Akio even teleported over Tio's grandfather. Although with their prejudices each nation was able to agree to peace, the holy church was really the only reason things were as bad as they were. 

Akio told the group how he was going to end Ehit, which they were forced to believe was possible after a little 'convincing'. 

In the end, each of the men who had the thought process of a ruler tried to offer their daughters to him, which Akio said he would consider. 

When things were over and done with Akio teleported everyone back before he was taken by Adul to the center of the village where all of the citizens kneeled to him and acknowledged him as their God, like Tio feeling an instinctual urge to submit. 

Akio agreed and thought he should speed up his plan to make a habitat dimension where all his followers would be able to stay. 

Akio made sure to give all of them his blessing before he left. 

Akio also used soul magic to help his classmates recover from all the recent events. In the end, they all became scared beyond belief of the world and wanted to stay by Akio at all times which he brushed off with higher amounts of spirit magic. 

Like that after a few days the group left to return to their conquest of the labyrinths.
