After saying goodbye to Shinoa and the others, Victor brought Krul back home.
The moment he settled in, he immediately opened the chat group.
[Kiana: What's going on with Victor? It's been so long, why hasn't he come online yet?]
[Lumine: Maybe he encountered a strong enemy and got delayed for a while.]
[Belle: I hope he's okay.]
[Stelle: Don't worry. Victor has a ton of bizarre abilities. Even if he can't win, he can definitely escape.]
[Shinobu: That's true.]
[Victor: Don't worry, I'm fine.]
[Rin: Finally! You've been gone forever! Everyone was getting a little worried.]
[Bai Yuekui: Did you actually run into a powerful enemy this time?]
[Victor: I did encounter someone with decent strength, but I wouldn't call them a strong enemy.]
Yeah, he was talking about Kagash.
A mere Golden Core cultivator wasn't exactly a threat to him anymore.
[Victor: But that guy was only a relatively low-level high-tier unit among their forces. So it's safe to say our enemies this time are no joke. There's definitely someone among them who's as strong as me, maybe stronger.]
The moment those words appeared, the group exploded.
An enemy as powerful as Victor actually existed?
Though when they thought about it, it made sense. The universe was vast and contained infinite possibilities. The Immortal Cultivation System was certainly impressive, but there had to be other power systems out there that could rival it.
[Kurumi: Can you tell us what you discovered?]
[Victor: That's exactly what I planned to do. Let me break down what I learned.]
[Victor: First, the official name for these otherworldly creatures is demons. The plane they inhabit is called Hell.]
[Lumine: Oh great, another demon species? Demons really do pop up everywhere in the universe.]
[Victor: The goal of Hell demons is to devour and corrupt other planes to strengthen themselves.]
[Victor: During the early stages of invasion, they send creatures whose bodies have been corrupted by demonic magic as their vanguard. Once the vanguard establishes a foothold, they deploy more corrupted troops to indiscriminately massacre the native inhabitants.]
[Victor: Their purpose is to collect blood and flesh from local creatures to construct something called a Blood Nest. Once the Blood Nest is complete, the passage between the two worlds fully opens. Only then does the real army of Hell begin its invasion.]
[Victor: Since Hell demons can only travel to other worlds through Blood Nests, you all need to stay vigilant. If you discover any Hell advance teams in your world, you must completely annihilate them with overwhelming force!]
[Victor: Otherwise, once they establish a foothold and gather enough blood and flesh to build a Blood Nest, things will get extremely troublesome.]
The Ultimate Seraph world had been lucky this time.
Even though the Blood Nest had already been established, the overall strength of the Hell sub-plane that invaded wasn't particularly high, so the world managed to hold out until their arrival.
If it had been a stronger sub-plane, or worse, an invasion from Hell's main plane, the entire world would have been corrupted the instant the Blood Nest appeared.
[Victor: Of course, the most important thing is to improve your strength as quickly as possible. Power is more important than anything else.]
[Tsunade: Say no more. I'm going into seclusion! I need to finish building my foundation as soon as possible!]
[Kikyo: Same here!]
[Kurumi: By the way, Mr. Victor, could you provide us with some more pills?]
[Victor: What, have you become a beggar too?]
[Kurumi: Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. I've been cultivating so intensely lately that I barely have time to refine pills. My storage ring is cleaner than my face right now.]
[Tsunade: Same here! Victor, I'm starving!]
[Victor: Alright, alright. My beloved disciple recently refined some low-level elixirs. I'll send them your way.]
[Shinobu: The ones Miyabi refined? Are they reliable?]
[Victor: Don't worry. The effects might not be as potent as what I make, but they're better than nothing.]
[Ding! Victor sent exclusive red envelopes to Tsunade, Kurumi, Gu Yuena, and Kikyo!]
[Ding! Tsunade, Kurumi, Gu Yuena, and Kikyo received their red envelopes!]
[All four: Thank you!]
[Victor: You're welcome. Keep working hard, everyone. I'm looking forward to the day when you all reach Foundation Establishment.]
[Victor: By the way, Kurumi, when are you planning to go back in time to change that tragedy?]
[Kurumi: I'm not going back anymore.]
[Victor: Oh? What made you change your mind?]
[Kurumi: Because of the chat group, and because of all of you.]
[Victor: Can you elaborate?]
[Kurumi: Think about it. If I change the past, will I still be able to enter the chat group? If I can't enter the chat group, then what's the point?]
[Kurumi: Besides, the main reason I wanted to go back was to save my friend. Now I have other ways to resurrect her, so there's no need to return to the past.]
[Victor: I'm glad you see it that way. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend going back anyway.]
Too many things were connected to the past. One move would affect the entire board. Not to mention the timeline spanned such a long period, the butterfly effect would be enormous.
After chatting for a while longer, Victor closed the chat group.
Coincidentally, at that exact moment, his beloved disciple Miyabi walked over.
"Master, I'm ready to head back."
Hearing this, Victor immediately checked Miyabi's cultivation level.
"Well, well. Not bad at all. You've reached Foundation Establishment. When did that happen?"
Miyabi replied expressionlessly, "Just when you went out."
"Excellent work. Very good."
Victor raised his hand and ruffled Miyabi's hair affectionately.
Then he used a Traversal Talisman to help her open a dimensional gate.
"If you want to visit in the future, you're welcome anytime. I'll keep your room ready. Just ask Belle for help whenever you want to come over."
Miyabi nodded. "Yes, I understand."
She stepped into the dimensional gate. At the last moment before it closed, she didn't forget to turn around and wave at Victor.
Just as Miyabi left, a notification sound suddenly chimed from the group.
[Belle: @Victor, hey! Your wife just saw mine naked! (╬ಠ益ಠ)]
[Victor: ???]
[Belle: Can you please tell me when you're sending someone over next time? I'm still taking a shower!]
[Victor: Okay, I'll pay attention next time.]
As for the matter of his wife being seen naked, if it was Miyabi, there was no problem. They were both girls, after all. Maybe Belle would even get a chance to see Miyabi without clothes on in the future?
At the same time, in the bathroom of the Random Play video store on Sixth Street.
Belle lay in the bathtub with her arms folded across her chest, staring at Miyabi in awkward silence.
The silence stretched on.
"Hello, Master's wife."
After what felt like an eternity, Miyabi finally spoke and broke the tension.
"Can you please not greet people in such a formal tone in this kind of situation?" Belle couldn't help but complain.
"Also, could you please leave soon?"
"Mm."
Miyabi nodded blankly and turned to go.
