Pandora was speechless.

Roy chuckled inwardly, enjoying her flustered reaction.

But he couldn't tease her too much.

"Pandora... ahem, Mom! Don't you want to see the outside world? If you come with me, you won't have to stay in this empty void forever," Roy said, trying his best to sound persuasive.

Pandora was tempted.

"There's a lot of delicious food in the human world! I can take you there, how about that?" Roy offered, taking out some snacks from his Storage magic.

The delicious aroma filled the air, and Pandora couldn't help but swallow.

Having lived in the border between life and death, she had never tasted human food before.

"Want to try some?" Roy asked, taking a bite of a roasted chicken leg.

Pandora, unable to resist the temptation, also took a bite.

Her eyes widened in surprise, and she began devouring the food with gusto.

After all, Pandora was still quite childlike, having never experienced much of the world.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so easily deceived by Roy.

'Food truly is a universal language,' Roy thought.

"So, Pandora, are you ready for the Campione transformation ritual?" Roy asked with a smile, seeing her enjoying the food.

"Yes, let's begin," Pandora replied with a nod.

The Ritual commenced.

...

When Roy regained consciousness, he was back in his room.

"Roy, you're awake! How are you feeling?" Rias asked, concerned.

Rias and Sona were sitting beside his bed.

"How long was I out?" Roy asked curiously.

Sona and Claire had only been unconscious for half a day. But it seemed like he had been out for much longer.

"You were unconscious for a whole day. It's already evening," Sona replied.

Roy was surprised. He hadn't expected to be out for so long.

He must have spent some time chatting and playing with Pandora before the transformation ritual.

But he didn't dwell on it. He closed his eyes and focused on the Authority he had obtained.

Odin had many Authorities: prophecy, kingship, wisdom, healing, magic, poetry, war, and death.

And Roy had inherited half of them.

Although it was only half, it was still an incredible gain.

He now possessed the Authorities of prophecy, kingship, wisdom, and magic, significantly increasing his power.

After contracting Pandora, his base strength had already reached the mid-level of Tier 5.

Roy opened his eyes, a triumphant smile on his face.

This rapid increase in power was exhilarating.

"How do you feel, Roy? What Authority did you get?" Rias and Sona asked curiously, seeing his joyful expression.

Roy pulled them into an embrace. "I got quite a haul this time. Four Authorities."

"Four Authorities?!" Rias and Sona exclaimed in surprise.

Sona had only received one Authority, and she was already incredibly powerful.

Claire, having obtained two Authorities, was also among the strongest.

Even Kanna and Ilulu might not be able to defeat her.

How strong was Roy now, with four Authorities?

"We can test them out tomorrow. Now it's time for bed," Roy said with a mischievous grin.

Rias and Sona blushed.

...

The next day, Roy gathered the girls in the living room.

"Roy, what's the matter? Why did you call us all here?" Rias asked, confused. She was still exhausted from last night's activities.

"I want to introduce you to someone," Roy announced with a mysterious smile.

"Another beautiful girl?" Saya scoffed.

"Do you think Roy would introduce anyone other than a beautiful girl?" Mine added.

"Well, he's not wrong," Claire chimed in with a smug grin.

Roy's lips twitched.

He couldn't help it. It was all for the sake of becoming stronger.

"Roy, just bring her out already," Akeno said with a giggle.

Roy shrugged.

They were all his girls anyway. If any of them misbehaved, he could always punish them later.

"Ahem... then I'll summon her."

Roy activated the summoning magic.

As his servant, she could be summoned or reverse-summoned regardless of her location.

An ice-blue magic circle appeared in the living room.

A petite girl materialized within the circle.

"Pandora?" Sona and Claire exclaimed in surprise.

The others, although unfamiliar with her, could tell from Sona and Claire's reactions that she was someone important.

...

"You naughty girls! You should call me Mom!" Pandora huffed.

She had told them so many times, but they never listened.

"Mom?" The girls were confused.

Sona and Claire explained that this was Pandora, the one who had performed their Campione transformation rituals.

"But why did Roy summon Pandora?" Sona asked, looking at Roy curiously.

"Because Pandora is also my servant now," Roy replied with a smug grin.

The girls were surprised. He had even managed to win over Pandora?

"H-He tricked me!" Pandora admitted, embarrassed.

"Tricked you...?"

"Roy-senpai, that's not very nice," Koneko said, approaching Roy with a frown.

"Koneko-chan, it's not what you think," Roy said awkwardly, patting her head.

Although he had indeed tricked her, it was for a good cause. He was saving her from a boring life, after all.

"Pandora, don't say things that could cause misunderstandings!" Roy chided.

"Hmph! You should call me Mom!" Pandora retorted, puffing out her cheeks.

Roy rolled his eyes. 'There's no way I'm calling her 'Mom' in front of all these girls,' he thought.

He approached Pandora and pinched her cheeks playfully.

"Pandora, if you're not a good girl, there will be no snacks."

"Waaah! Okay, okay!" Pandora relented.

Having been won over by delicious food, she couldn't resist Roy's threats.

Roy then took Pandora and the others to the food street.

After tasting the various delicacies, Pandora declared that she didn't want to go back to her lonely world anymore.

...

Roy and the girls continued preparing to summon the next Heretic God.

Diana informed them that they had found a Heretic God.

Roy and the girls went to the meeting room, where the leaders of the various factions were already waiting.

They looked at Roy and his group with a mix of awe and fear.

In less than half a month, three Campiones had been born from Roy's group.

It was frightening.

They suspected that Roy's ambitions were far greater than they had initially imagined. After all, Campiones were wary of each other, often even becoming enemies.

And it was unheard of for several Campiones to get along so well.

Roy sat at the head of the table and turned to Diana. "Tell me, Diana, which Heretic God did you find? And where is he?"

"Maou-sama, please look at this." Diana turned on the screen in the meeting room.

A beautiful image of the ocean appeared on the screen.

But that wasn't the main point.

A massive shadow was swimming beneath the surface.

It was over a hundred meters long.

"Is that a whale?"

"No, it must be a shark."

"Sharks aren't that big!"

"But whales aren't that big either!"

"Could it be a Sea Dragon?"

"No way, it doesn't look like a Dragon."

...

Tohru, Rias, and the others discussed the mysterious creature with curiosity.

"Diana, is that whale the Heretic God?" Roy asked, confused.

"No, we believe that's the Divine Beast of a Heretic God. We don't know who the god is yet," Diana replied with a wry smile.

After discovering the Divine Beast, the various factions had searched through countless records but couldn't identify the Heretic God.

"It doesn't matter. Any Heretic God will do," Roy said dismissively.

He just needed a Heretic God, any Heretic God.

He then had Diana lead them to the location.

...

They soon arrived above the area shown in the picture.

The sun shimmered on the beautiful ocean surface.

But beneath the surface lurked a massive shadow, a chilling sight.

"Is that the Divine Beast? I wonder what it looks like."

They couldn't identify the Heretic God because they didn't know what the creature looked like.

"I'll catch it!" Ilulu declared with a mischievous grin.

She transformed her hands into claws and plunged into the ocean.

The water churned violently.

A moment later, Ilulu emerged, dragging the Divine Beast by its tail.

It was a giant dolphin.

"It's the Divine Dolphin!" Erica exclaimed, the first to recognize it.

"Erica, do you know this Divine Beast?" Sona asked curiously.

"Yes, Kaichou," Erica replied. After becoming Sona's servant, she started calling her "Kaichou."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Heretic God here must be Poseidon."

"Poseidon?!" the girls gasped.

"Another Major Heretic God!"
