A lot has happened in the past month.
First off, Clara and Odette became my partners along with their mother. Their addition to my harem made earning rolls easier. Unfortunately, my luck was still dogshit! Out of the nearly 4500 rolls I earned, only two of them hit something good (the rest being fucking Hell dollars!)! Those being a new summon called LowTierGod, and Sukuna's 20 fingers as items.
LowTierGod was apparently a Twitch streamer in the FGC community, infamous for his crashouts in videogames. When summoning him, he will begin ranting at my opponents, dazing them in the process. The more they listen to his rant, the weaker they will become.
As for Sukuna's 20 fingers? They came in a pristine metal briefcase. I was shocked by my shit luck! Why did I get his fingers and not his Shrine technique? According to the system, consuming the fingers would grant me Sukuna's Shrine Technique. While I'm pretty sure having both Limitless and Shrine would make me unbeatable, in my humble opinion, I decided not to go that route for one simple reason.
Consuming the fingers comes with a 99% chance of being possessed by Sukuna himself, helping me understand why the roll was ranked Unique and not Legendary.
I couldn't afford to risk Sukuna taking over my body and doing something to those I care about. So, unless absolutely necessary, I decided I won't be consuming the fingers.
The second thing that happened this past month was the development Carmilla and I had with studying the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. My idea of adding spells from Momonga (Ainz Ooal Gown) that were within the staff onto angelic weapons was more complicated than I thought. The closest we got was having to inscribe enchantments onto the weapons.
That idea came along because I managed to find a book about rune crafting within the staff. After finding the book, Carmilla and I spent the entire month trying to enchant regular Hell weapons first but to no avail. Though at the end of the month, we did discover that the gold from within the staff, when melted down, complimented the angelic weapons perfectly.
The third thing was me ramping up my Overlord conquest. With my increased reputation as the Untouchable Overlord, along with me dating Carmilla and her daughters becoming public knowledge, all the lower-level Overlords and even a couple middle tier Overlords made soul deals with me at no cost to me. Skyrocketing the number of souls I own shoot up over 100k.
With over 100k souls in my possession, I barely managed to reach the lower levels of the upper echelons of Overlords in Pentagram City.
The fourth, and most concerning, thing that happened was what happened yesterday.
[One month has passed! Sensed a total of three Mythic Rank rolls acquired this month! Second Universal Balance Update Incoming!]
The system fucking me over. What else is new!
I had gotten this notification while I was cuddling Clara and Odette in bed. I was so shocked that I had to excuse myself to my carriage before I had the biggest crashout of my life!
[Effects of the three Mythic Rank rolls have heavily distorted the balance of the Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss Universe. Three balance changes have been installed according to the effects of Mythic Ranks acquired.
Super Saiyan: All Demons/Sinners and Angels/Winners with magic energy have had their magic reserves and strength amplified by x2-x4000.
Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown: All Holy/Demonic Artifacts/Weapons shall get power amplifications of x10-x1000. Holy Artifacts/Weapons with rich history or accomplishments shall receive Holy Divinity. Demonic Artifacts/Weapons with rich history or accomplishments shall receive Unholy Divinity.
Makima, The Control Devil: All hell born demons and heaven born angels can make deals with sinners and winners.]
WHAT. THE. FUCK!
That was all I could say about this bullshit update. You mean to tell me I could possibly STRUGGLE now!? Getting Mythic Rank pulls should mean my life gets easier not fucking harder!
Anyways, I was currently lazing about in Carmilla's bed, staring at the ceiling with nothing on my mind. Carmilla had left about 30 minutes ago for the Overlord meeting.
Now that the number of souls I owned reached the upper echelons of Overlords, I was invited to the meeting. I had agreed to go but due to the notification I got from the system, it caused me to feel lazy as hell.
"Ugh, I'm not really in the mood for some formal meeting. Carmilla will run the meeting though. Hmm, decisions decisions."
After thinking about it, I decided to go. I may show up a bit late, but the meeting room wasn't that far. Afterall, Carmilla was hosting it in one of her conference rooms so I shouldn't be too late. Besides, wouldn't showing up late make me look cool!?
POV Carmilla
I was currently in the room adjacent to the conference room the other Overlords were walking into right now. Both my daughters were by my side, conversing amongst themselves while I was absentmindedly going through the data I had prepared.
I could not help but let out an audible sigh. Two things were currently causing me to not be focused on the meeting that was about to start.
The first was Zestial. I have not heard from him in the past month, making me worried that something bad happened to him. I asked Julius if he could investigate in his spare time to see if anything happened and last week, he came to me with worrying news.
Julius could not find Zestial in his palace. Zestial almost never left his palace, so him not being there was concerning. But what solidified my worries that something happened to him was Julius's account of the sinners Zestial used to own now had a new owner.
Speaking of Julius, he was my second reason for not being able to focus on the meeting. For the wrong reasons.
First off, his personal accounts from Zestial's previously owned sinners did not fully match the sinners themselves when I went to ask. When Julius told me the sinners had new owners and when I asked who, he responded that they never bothered to tell him.
But when I asked the sinners themselves, they had claimed a human looking demon named Makima was their new owner.
I felt I had heard that name before and remembered the night Julius and I first kissed. When I had asked him to let me and my daughters know if there were any other women he possibly was going after, Makima's name came up.
When I asked for specifics about her, his demeanor slightly shifted. He simply answered, "a potential lover" in a robotic manner. What threw me off were his eyes at the time. Just like the first time we cuddled in bed, his eyes were yellow had those weird two sets of red rings in his irises. Causing my entire body to shiver.
Ever since then, I felt something was wrong with this "human like demon" called Makima. It seemed like anytime I asked Julius about her his eyes would change and he would give me a bland response. Any investigations I had done about her lead to dead ends. It was as if she exists yet doesn't.
"Mother, most of the Overlords we sent invitations to have arrived. With the exceptions of Vox, Julius, Prick, and Hatchet. Julius texted me a couple of minutes ago saying he was going to be a little late, so he should be here soon. Should we start without them?" Odette asked me, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Yes, let us begin." I sighed and sat up, walking with my daughters into the conference room next door.
Four Overlords could be seen seated at the long table. Zeezi and Maestro were on my left side. While Rosie and Alastor were on my right. Wait, Alastor? It's interesting to see him here. I recalled him being absent for seven years.
"Welcome, Sovereign Overlords. I invited you here today to discuss the new schedule for the upcoming exterminations. Together you own millions of souls. Souls at risk with the new exterminations. We need-!"
Before I could continue with my opening statement, the doors to the conference room opened. The Overlords and I looked on as a new face we have never seen before appeared.
The moment I looked into her eyes, my body shivered against my will. Is... Is this who I think it is?
"Hello," The woman said with a neutral look on her face. She certainly looked like a human. Her outfit was a simple white dress shirt with a black tie, black dress pants, and black loafers. A black suit jacket hung over her shoulders. Her hair was tied into a single braid that reached the middle of her back. And her eyes matched the very same eyes I seen Julius have a couple of times.
"I heard there was an Overlord meeting happening here and, by definition, I fit the criteria to be an Overlord. Since I meet the criteria, I figured I would invite myself in. Hope that is ok with all of you."
The woman spoke with refined elegance and absolute confidence. As if she knew she would be allowed in.
If this person really was Makima, then she had every right to be here. Given she seemed to now own all of Zestial's sinners.
After she invited herself in, she walked straight towards the chair Zestial would have sat in, keeping eye contact with me the entire time. It was not until she sat down that she stopped looking at me. Crossing one leg over the other while casually resting her chin on her fist, tilting her head to the right.
Judging by the low growls and snarls from the Overlords present, they could also feel how condescending she was being towards everyone here.
"Are you-." I began to ask.
"Yes." The woman called Makima said, interrupting me.
This bitch! I could not help but ball my fist in silenced anger. This woman was someone Julius was looking to make a potential partner!?
Before I could respond to her rudeness, the doors to the conference opened again.
"Rejoice! For the Honored and Untouchable One has decided to grace all of you with his godly presence!"
