"But my darling can totally satisfy me, can't he?"
Her coquettish manner left Origami, Asuna and Olga all staring in stunned silence.
Especially Olga, she felt as if her entire worldview had just been flipped upside down.
But after thinking about Ryuji's combat power, none of them said anything more.
And at that moment, the Sword Maiden, who normally rarely spoke and only ever appeared during group activities, suddenly felt a strange sensation.
Ryuji froze for a moment. He honestly hadn't expected the timing to be this perfect.
"Hmm… so it's here already?"
The sow-goddess, Celestine, immediately turned her head. Seeing the fragment of world power on this child who had lost her faith, she didn't wait for Ryuji to pull the Sword Maiden away. With a casual wave of her hand, she directly extracted that portion of world power fragment from the Sword Maiden's body.
Celestine looked at the fragment for a moment, then nodded.
"Mmm. As expected, it's world power related to traveling between worlds… Ryuji, it looks like you might encounter even more teammates in the future."
The corner of Ryuji's mouth twitched. He glanced at Origami and Asuna beside him, then shook his head at Celestine.
"I don't think that's a good thing. For the 7 Days to Die world, it might be beneficial. But for the people who get dragged in, it definitely isn't."
Ryuji sighed. He vaguely felt that his own transmigration might not be solely due to the 7 Days to Die world. The teammate who should have been paired with Erina back then was probably someone else entirely.
But since there had been no news of that person until now, there was no need to speculate further.
Most likely, they were already dead.
And judging from what Origami and Asuna had gone through, Ryuji couldn't consider this a blessing in any sense.
He participated in collecting 7 Days to Die world fragments simply because he wanted to see more worlds, more landscapes and more interesting things.
Because he could leave at any time.
But what about Origami?
What about Asuna?
And what about Erina, who had been thrown into that zombie-filled world at the very beginning?
If they'd had a choice, would any of them have willingly entered that world?
A world with absurdly high difficulty, where lacking supernatural power basically meant certain death, who would enjoy that?
Even Rias couldn't survive in that world back then, let alone ordinary people like them.
It was only by exploiting the steel room bug that they barely managed to survived each Blood Moon.
Not asking for consent. Not considering their will.
That was even more irresponsible than the God of Terror Infinity![1]
After all, with the 'God's dimension/the Room of God', you chose to enter. But this place wasn't like that.
Although the main God also had some fraudulent aspects, the 7 Days to Die world was straight-up kidnapping.
"So that's how you see it… yeah, that makes sense."
Celestine nodded.
For a mortal like Ryuji, his own life was naturally most important. But for many world wills, things weren't like that.
To them, all life within their world belonged to them.
Everything should obey them.
Since everything was part of them.
Logically, that wasn't entirely wrong.
But personally, Celestine hated that way of thinking.
If you give children free will, then why still treat them as your possessions?
That was why she governed her own world so leniently. Even when Olga had once planned to become a god, she hadn't tried to stop her.
But some worlds…
Her gaze flicked subtly toward Origami.
Meanwhile, Ryuji looked at Celestine, calmed his breathing slightly, then voiced his thoughts.
"Celestine, can you help me with something? Can you make it so that girls who don't want to continue participating… won't be sent into mission worlds anymore?"
When Ryuji said this, Revy, Chifuyu, Asuna and Origami all couldn't help but look toward Celestine. But Celestine shook her head.
"How should I put it… The world you're helping to save may be an ill-mannered child, but if you truly don't want to participate anymore, it won't forcibly pull you in again."
Origami frowned when she heard this.
"But I never wanted to come in the first place!"
She really didn't want to come! Every time she had to work like a laborer and it seriously interfered with her pursuit of Shido Itsuka, as well as her normal life.
And this time she even owed a debt that had to be repaid with her body. Even though it was embarrassing, if it meant ending this whole thing as quickly as possible, then she could only become a treacherous villain.
At most, she could give everything she had to Ryuji. When Ryuji went to her world in the future, she would treat him properly. Beyond that, there was nothing else she could do.
"Mm… there are a lot of principles involved…"
Looking at Origami, Celestine didn't want to tell the girl that she had already been locked onto by her own world's will.
That truth was simply too despair-inducing.
After all, even Celestine herself couldn't locate another world's will without knowing its coordinates.
And if that world's will was something broad and abstract, like a Gaia consciousness, then she really wouldn't have any solution at all.
On top of that, a misstep could escalate into a war of gods or even a world war. She didn't want her own children to be dragged into something like that.
And besides, there truly were different rules at play.
"Yes, for example, I can choose whether to participate or not. I think that's because I completed my world mission very early on, right?"
Ryuji extended his hand. The 7 Days to Die world power swirled in his palm, constantly resonating with the fragment of world power in Celestine's hand.
"Honestly, even now I still can't believe it. Someone as insignificant as me can actually decide whether a world lives or dies."
If a random star crashed into him, he would die instantly. Yet he could decide whether to save a world.
Honestly, he found it absurd.
But this was truly the reality he experienced.
"Well, Strictly speaking, it's more like recreating rather than saving… but you probably wouldn't understand that… So, Ryuji, are you planning to leave? With your abilities, you should be able to manipulate the timeline to some extent and return to this point in time later, right?"
Celestine spoke with a faint smile.
Ryuji carried traits of a transcender. That was the real reason he could freely travel between worlds.
But Ryuji himself hadn't realized this yet, which caused his abilities to fluctuate frequently.
These changes were uncertain; sometimes becoming stronger, sometimes weaker. So, Celestine didn't point it out. She preferred to wait for Ryuji to discover it himself.
"There are still some things I need to take care of… after all, there are a few things I haven't prepared yet."
Ryuji deliberately glanced at Celestine's chest. Those were precisely the things he wanted to give special attention to.
Purely in terms of ingredients, both Roxanne's and Celestine's were top-tier.
"Eh… is that so… then I'll help you out."
Celestine smiled, while Ryuji showed an expression of pure delight.
The next moment, the world power in Celestine's hand swiftly merged into the world power in Ryuji 's palm. Immediately afterward, Ryuji received a notification that the world mission had been completed, along with the rewards for this mission.
However, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Wait, I haven't..."
He still had so many things he hadn't done yet. He still wanted to spend a few more days in this world fooling around with women before leaving.
And there was still something he wanted to say to Celestine.
But it was already too late, because in the next moment, his figure vanished from this world.
In the next moment, Ryuji abruptly appeared in the Sailor Moon world, and the words he wanted to say to Celestine burst out at that very moment.
"Celestine, you bastard, you perverted, slutty goddess! I'm going to fuck you to death!"
She did indeed help him, and the world mission really did reward him with a spatial item.
But what the hell was the point of a spatial bracelet that can only store women's breast milk?!
Who in their right mind would ever use something like this?!
Ryuji couldn't help but grab the bracelet in his hand and slam it hard onto the ground.
But he didn't expect that this action would directly activate the gem on the bracelet.
And so, in the next moment, an overwhelming flood of white milk erupted out, instantly submerging both Ryuji and his house!
At the same time…
Celestine revealed a mischievous smile.
