Chapter 616: Shiroyasha: Ren-kun, Your World, Here I Come!
"Why hasn't Ren-kun returned yet?"
Inside the luxurious villa, a group of women were gathered. They had been on this private island for many days, but since Ren had vanished to deal with the sea monster, an air of quiet anticipation had settled over them. Some were starting to worry.
"Oh? You're all so worried about me~?"
Haruno's body trembled. She turned her head, a blush creeping up her neck, only to see Ren standing impossibly close to her, a mischievous grin on his face. His hand was already on her backside, giving one of her soft cheeks a firm, possessive slap that made her yelp.
"Ren!"
"Ren-kun!"
"Onii-chan!"
A chorus of excited, chirping sounds erupted from the large group of beautiful girls, elegant onee-sans, and charming wives. Seeing him return, everyone's suspended hearts finally settled. A few, like Chika and Kiana, immediately hung onto him, their bodies pressing against his. But Ren didn't feel it was noisy at all; this was the life he wanted.
He quickly scanned them. More than twenty of his closest companions. This scene couldn't help but remind him of the climactic "battle" in Tsunade's world. When that feeling came, it was unstoppable.
"Since you all miss me so much," he said, his voice a low, predatory purr that sent shivers through the room, "let's get to know each other much better."
"Eh!" The first one to suffer was Haruno, who was already in his arms. Sensing his intentions, she wanted to struggle. "Wait! Everyone is here! They're all looking!"
"Haruno," he whispered into her ear, his voice deep and hypnotic. "I went to a lonely world these past few days, where time flowed incredibly fast. I haven't seen you for three hundred years, and I missed you so much."
Haruno's struggles ceased. Her heart instantly clenched. Just hearing "three hundred years of loneliness" made her feel an ache of empathy. A desperate desire to embrace him and soothe that loneliness welled up in her heart. She pursed her lips and chose to abandon rationality. She lowered her head, her hair obscuring her moist eyes and flushed cheeks, and gently nodded. "Mm."
It was a sign of her complete surrender. This scene was seen by everyone. Some were worried by his words, some knew his nature and viewed it rationally, and some, like Yukino, chose to cover their eyes.
Ren suddenly curled his lips. "Haruno, I'm sorry. I just lied to you."
"Hmm?" She suddenly turned her head, only to see his smug, mischievous smile. "!!!" Her eyes widened in betrayal.
"Ah…" Before she could protest, his mouth was on hers, and his hands began their work. Although she couldn't move, she sighed in her heart. Silly Haruno, completely caught.
What followed was not a single night, but a marathon that lasted six days. Ren bestowed new powers upon everyone, the power of Infinite Angels and Infinite Apostles, erasing their previous complex abilities. Each person became an extremity of his Infinite Tree, their power now equivalent to a growing, complete universe.
It was precisely because of this increase in power that everyone became far more resilient. He experienced this firsthand, deeply and repeatedly. After they adapted, their wills unified, and they attempted to overthrow his absolute rule in the bedroom. Unfortunately, Ren was the emperor, even in this regard. He crushed everyone with absolute strength.
As for Fujiwara Chika, who had unexpectedly proposed this rebellion, he took special "care" of her, making her experience true social death as he made her the centerpiece of their activities for an entire day, her cries and moans serving as a lesson to all.
After dealing with everyone and ensuring they were all thoroughly satisfied and exhausted, he was now heading to the spatial rift at the bottom of the sea.
He recognized the monsters inside as Kaiju from Pacific Rim, and the rift as the wormhole connecting to the Anteverse. "A bunch of… bugs?" he thought, observing the exasperated look of the Precursors on the other side. They were trying to break Phantylia's seal, but it was useless. He felt that these so-called invaders were incredibly weak.
[Ding! Detected that group member Ren has come into contact with a Cognitive Doomsday factor. Doom Companion activated!]
[Doom Companion]: Four people traveling together
[Companion Time]: 1 day
[Companions]: Ren, Stella, Shiroyasha, Erza
[Companion Mission]: Deal with the wormhole space.
[Kiana: Ren, you're back in your own world? And you've encountered the apocalypse?]
[Nami: Wait! Why is it Erza-san again?]
[Erza: …] She also didn't know why. Through the Doomsday devices, she had obtained the SS-rank ability Smelting and Forging and leveled it to Lv7. But this still seemed insufficient when facing him.
[Stella: I'm here too! This is great!]
[March 7th: Um, the Doomsday Ren-kun encountered must be very dangerous, right?]
[Ren: Hmm, don't worry, just come over. This is very weak.] He had originally intended to obliterate it casually. He didn't expect it to trigger a mission. It was good to let the group members get some benefits, but it didn't seem to be of much use to Shiroyasha.
[Shiroyasha: Hehe, I'm coming!]
