Beside Zhu Ganglie stood—Vaisravana. He was dark-skinned and gaunt, with fiery red hair, blood-red eyes, and sharp fangs. He wore a simple monk's robe over tattered clothes and blue armor, a necklace of nine skulls hanging around his neck.
This was one of the Monkey King's Authorities—[Manifestation of the Divine].
It allowed him to summon Zhu Ganglie and Vaisravana to fight for him.
Roy was amused—The three brothers from the [Journey to the West]—were all here.
"Eldest brother, why have you summoned us?" Zhu Ganglie asked the Monkey King.
"Second brother, third brother, this is our opponent," the Monkey King replied, pointing at Roy.
"A Campione—then I won't hold back." Zhu Ganglie roared.
"With my martial prowess, I shall display the might of the North Star!"
"By the decree of the Northern Emperor, my command is law!"
After chanting the incantation, Zhu Ganglie transformed into a—fifteen-meter tall Warrior with three heads and six arms.
Each arm wielded a different weapon: a sword, a halberd, an axe, a staff, a bow, and an arrow. He was clad in black armor.
Vaisravana also chanted an incantation.
"I am the agile commander of the water forces, the one who banishes evil and summons dragons and rain!"
They both unleashed their powers and attacked—Roy.
However, they were far weaker than the Monkey King.
They weren't even at the Planetary level.
Roy yawned and effortlessly blew them away with a gust of wind.
The Monkey King frowned. Such weak powers couldn't harm this Campione.
He then chanted another incantation.
"Greedy Wolf, Giant Gate, Fortune Star, Literary Star, Honest Star, Martial Star, Broken Star! O Seven Stars of the North, grant me your power!"
"Serpent, Dragon, offer your flesh and bones to me! Flames, refine the iron into steel! Hammer, forge the steel into a blade! Pure water, cool the blade! All to enhance my divinity as the Sword God!"
Zhu Ganglie transformed into a black pig and became the Monkey King's mount. Vaisravana transformed into a dragon and coiled around his body.
This was the Authority— 'Three Gods in One'.
Combining the power of the three brothers—the Monkey King's strength reached the mid-level of the Planetary level.
Roy was surprised. He hadn't expected the Monkey King to possess such power.
"Campione, be careful. This is my full strength," the Monkey King declared, his aura surging.
"Come on then. Let me see how strong you truly are," Roy replied with a smirk.
The Monkey King roared and charged towards him.
In this state, he was incredibly violent.
He had forgotten about holding back. All he wanted was to crush his opponent.
However, Roy remained calm and effortlessly blocked his attacks.
"It's over," Roy said calmly.
He appeared behind the Monkey King in a flash.
"Secret Art: Absolute Zero."
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The Monkey King was instantly frozen solid, his enraged expression frozen in time.
"Saeko, it's your turn," Roy called out to the girls.
"Me?" Saeko asked in surprise.
Planetary level Heretic Gods were rare. So far, they had only encountered—Odin and Frigg.
In Various Mythologies, Gods at the Planetary level were among the most powerful beings.
"Yes, Saeko, you go first," Roy replied with a smile.
He didn't deny his favoritism towards Saeko.
After all, she had been with him from the beginning, always supporting him and helping him through difficult times.
She never asked for anything in return.
So, Roy didn't hesitate to give her this opportunity to almost reach the Planetary level.
"Okay." Saeko nodded, accepting the task without question.
Roy handed her the divine sword.
Saeko approached the frozen Monkey King and swung the sword.
The Monkey King, already weakened by the Absolute Zero, shattered into countless pieces.
"Congratulations, Saeko—!" Shizuka was the first to congratulate her.
"Thank you," Saeko replied with a smile.
The other girls were envious of Roy's favoritism towards Saeko.
But they also knew that Saeko was the first to join Roy's peerage.
Even Rias came after her.
Pandora then performed the Campione transformation ritual for—Saeko.
'Pandora seems like a tool now,' Roy thought with amusement.
The island was on the verge of sinking due to his battle with the Monkey King.
After Saeko's transformation was complete, Roy took the girls back to the Bronze Black Cross headquarters.
...
Back at the headquarters—Roy instructed Rossweisse to prepare for the summoning of more Japanese gods.
He wasn't satisfied with just killing Susano'o and the Black Priest.
Japan was said to have eight million gods, but most of them were minor deities.
The truly powerful Heretic Gods were Izanagi, Izanami, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi.
Everything was proceeding smoothly.
And Roy hadn't forgotten about the woman he had left in the subspace.
...
"Bastard, let me go—Mmm..."
"No."
"Stop."
The Princess with Glass Eyes glared at Roy, gritting her teeth.
"You want me to stop? Okay, no problem," Roy replied with a smirk, increasing his pace.
"Do you yield? Will you become my—servant?" he asked between thrusts.
"Never! I'll never submit!" the Princess with Glass Eyes retorted defiantly.
This was the first time Roy had forced a woman to submit. It was—strangely exhilarating.
Was it true that the grass was always greener on the other side?
"Aah!"
The Princess with Glass Eyes finally succumbed, her body collapsing.
Roy looked at her with a strange expression. "You wouldn't happen to enjoy this, would you? Is that why you refused to become my servant?" he asked.
The Princess with Glass Eyes blushed.
"H—How could I? I want to kill you! I'll never submit!" she stammered.
"Oh?" Roy realized that beneath her Yamato Nadeshiko demeanor, she had a masochistic side.
This was interesting.
He enjoyed this little game and didn't expose her.
...
Back in the main hall of their lodging, Roy was enjoying the tea Akeno had prepared when Koneko suddenly climbed onto his lap and sniffed him.
Roy froze. Had she discovered his secret?
But he had already cleaned himself with magic. She shouldn't be able to smell anything.
"Koneko-chan, what are you doing?" Roy asked, patting her head.
"I smell something unfamiliar on you, but I can't quite place it," Koneko replied with a frown.
"There can't be any other scent on me. I've been with you all this time," Roy said, his eye twitching.
How had Koneko noticed something was off when she couldn't even smell anything?
Was this a Nekoshou's intuition?
"Roy, you've been naughty, haven't you? I heard there are three Heretic Gods in Japan, and one of them is a beautiful girl," Akeno teased with a giggle.
Roy's expression stiffened. Had they discovered his secret?
"Hmph, no matter how well you hide it, Roy, we'll find out eventually—" Rias declared, confirming their suspicions.
Roy chuckled awkwardly.
"Since you've already done it, just make her your servant," Sona said, adjusting her glasses.
They didn't mind Roy having more servants, but they weren't happy about him keeping a girl captive.
"Perhaps Roy enjoys playing like this," Esdeath commented. "I've always wanted to try this kind of—imprisonment play." She looked at Roy with a suggestive smile.
Roy shuddered. He didn't want to experience Esdeath's idea of "Imprisonment Play."
"Roy, you can play with me too," Akeno offered with a giggle.
"M-Me too," Asia chimed in, seemingly taking their jokes seriously.
The other girls blushed.
Roy sighed.
"Don't worry, I'll make the Princess with Glass Eyes my servant. You don't have to worry about it," he reassured them.
"And stop teasing me about it."
He was embarrassed that they had discovered his little secret.
"By the way, has Diana found any information on the Heretic Gods?" Roy asked Liliana, changing the subject.
Liliana was still blushing, her cheeks flushed.
"N-Not yet," she replied.
Roy shrugged.
They could always summon Heretic Gods themselves. There was no rush to find others.
He wondered when Athena, the loli goddess, would descend.
He was quite fond of her.
But he remembered that after regaining her true form with the Gorgoneion, Athena would mature into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
She was the perfect combination of loli and mature beauty.
Just then, Liliana's phone rang.
"Excuse me." She was about to leave the room to answer it.
But Roy stopped her.
"Liliana, you can answer it here."
"Eh? Okay."
Liliana answered the call.
"Liliana, is the Maou-sama with you?" It was Diana's voice.
