Chapter 287 - Chapter 287 Scorpio

They naturally accepted Rosen's proposal.

After all, the situation had been completely rewritten, and the entire world was starting from scratch, so not accepting would be useless.

Afterward, Rosen let them leave.

Although they were all potential Familia, he planned to contract them when he left.

And after Saint Tianzi and the others left.

Rias said with emotion, "I never thought my first time participating in such an event would involve something like this."

"Similar situations shouldn't be too many; this world is just a minority."

Rosen said with a light chuckle.

The people of the black bullet world can only be said to be barely forgivable.

Of course, that doesn't mean they're not scum.

And there are worlds even more insane than black bullet—take a certain banned manga called Devilman.

The humans living on that Earth can hardly be called human anymore.

If we transmigrated there, wouldn't Marushiru and Rias go crazy?

"I know. If too many of these Transmigrations keep happening, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it."

Rias rubbed her temples, speaking rather helplessly.

Though she was a demon, her mindset was almost the same as any normal person's.

"Right, we should be free for the rest of the day?"

"Mm, probably. So, as usual, you can all do whatever you want before we leave."

Hearing Rosen's words, everyone understood.

Wasn't this just the loot-distribution phase after clearing a dungeon?

Still, it was hard to say whether anything in this world would be of use to them.

"If there's nothing, we'll gather for a party tonight before heading back. Anyway, time in the other world will be frozen within a single day."

"In that case, I'll go check on the children first~~."

With that, Rias left the room.

The others also used the time to do what they could.

Especially since all the little kids were so lovable.

At that moment,

Rosen received a message from the chat group.

[Fallen Angel: "Boss, did you forget something?"]

[Fallen Angel: "Scorpio is still tied outside the Giant Stone Monument. What should we do with it?"]

[Shepherd: "Not forgotten; I was just figuring out a solution."]

[I Dont Want to Eat Monsters: "Mr. Rosen, have you thought of one?"]

[Shepherd: "I have an idea, but I'm not sure it'll work. I'll head over now."]

After saying that, Rosen focused his mind; Spirit Steps activated, and he appeared outside the Tokyo-area Giant Stone Monument.

With no humans exploiting nature, in the ten years since the Gastrozoa virus spread, former towns had been swallowed by every kind of plant.

Yet because of the virus, nothing lived in the wilds except flora and Gastrozoa.

Especially after Rosen's earlier divine punishment.

All Gastrozoa on the planet had been wiped out.

Only Scorpio, the last sprout, remained alive.

As one of the mightiest land Gastrozoa, Scorpio's appearance defied accurate description.

After all, reaching this stage meant the monster's host body had absorbed the genes of most life on Earth; fusing them produced this warped thing.

Colossal—hundreds of meters tall—its surface bore countless biological traits.

On its black, skin-like shell glowed eye-like lights.

One glance would terrify any human.

Right now, dozens of golden rays pinned it motionless to the ground. (Read your heart out—only at Feilu Novel Network!)

Sensing a human presence, Scorpio's hill-sized body trembled slightly.

But the moment it caught sight of Rosen, instinctual pressure from a higher life-form made it cower like a puppy.

Rosen nodded.

Releasing Divine Might to suppress the monster would make the next step easier.

Without further thought, Rosen began to spread his Divine Power.

The surrounding space rippled like water.

quanta "Kingdom".

He quickly eroded the entire area with Divine Power, folding it into his divine kingdom.

Upon entering his kingdom, he felt a force close to omniscience and omnipotence.

Within this zone Rosen could accomplish virtually anything he wished.

Every time he entered, he experienced the illusion of being invincible under heaven.

Yet he knew that, for now, he wasn't truly omnipotent.

What he could achieve here wouldn't exceed the current growth of the tree of life.

In time, once he ignited all quanta, true omnipotence would no longer be a dream.

Of course,

with his present strength, remaking a Gastrozoa wasn't difficult.

Following his will, the Stage-Five Scorpio before him rapidly shrank, its form changing at lightning speed.

More precisely, it was regressing.

Time on Scorpio accelerated; non-human genes were stripped away, and its body swiftly transformed.

In less than ten seconds it underwent more than ten years of metamorphosis.

The former hill-sized monster became a black-haired girl lying in the grass—emaciated, sallow, her hair dull yellow from malnutrition.

Having slumbered for over a decade, the child awoke to stare blankly at the world around her.

It finally settled on the black-haired youth in front of her.

She opened her mouth.

"Big brother… do you know where everyone else in the village is?"

"…"

After a brief explanation, the little girl understood what had happened and fell silent.

Rosen draped a coat over her and brought her back to Tokyo.

Gabriel, Fubuki, and the others nearby looked curiously at the little girl beside Rosen. "Weren't there no Cursed Children left? Where did you find her?"

"She's Scorpio."
