Three days.
The world was stunned.
What's going on?
What happened?
Huh?
We just woke up, and the world's changed?
No way.
Weren't we a tech world?
Working on the Industrial Revolution?
How…
We wake up, the Industrial Revolution's over, and gods are knocking?
As for now?
Every nation surrendered, dissolved, unified into one.
A Faith Nation!
Or rather…
No nations remained, only a theocracy managed by a pope.
Any resistance?
Of course, some groups made a fuss.
Then?
Pandora unleashed an undead catastrophe, and all went quiet.
One could only say.
If destruction was the goal.
With the Specters' strength, 107 weren't needed—three or five could easily annihilate the world. Even one might suffice.
But frankly.
Alistair wanted rule, not pure destruction.
Ruling and destroying were vastly different.
The time required, naturally, differed.
Three days.
Handled the basics. The rest needed time—not surprising.
That was Ker's task.
Pandora's job was to bring the world under control, and that was enough.
"Hm~~~"
Alistair narrowed his eyes lazily. "Everything's handled?"
Pandora reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, all nations are under control, fully cleared."
"Good."
Alistair nodded, satisfied.
Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho, Kanao Tsuyuri, Nezuko Kamado, Mitsuri Kanroji, Aoi Kanzaki.
The six women were shocked and curious.
Three days!
Just three days to control the entire world?
Unimaginable.
Of course.
Alistair understood.
This was inexperience from early conquests.
In the future.
With more worlds, this could shrink to two days, even one, once mastered.
Yes.
Nezuko Kamado, Mitsuri Kanroji, and Aoi Kanzaki.
During barrier setup, they signed dependent contracts, becoming Alistair's dependents.
Just arriving, they heard this, no wonder they were shocked.
"By my count."
"This world's affairs are nearly done."
Alistair sat up, hands clasped on his knees, pondering if everything was settled.
Six desired dependents, contracts signed.
Twenty-nine clusters of world energy, turned into anchors.
The world was under control.
"Next, set up barriers."
Alistair mused, instructing, "Pandora, help Ker with the barriers. Also…"
He looked at the six women, waving. "Except Kanae Kocho, everyone else go too."
"In the future."
"You'll handle these tasks."
"Pandora, guide them."
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Pandora had no objections. Conquering this world swiftly was the plan from the start.
Pandora led the five women, except Kanae, away.
In truth.
Over these three days, Kanae had progressed. Her cocoon broke, entering the larva stage.
But.
She kept everything within her soul, outwardly still a soul.
"Kanae."
"Your Majesty."
"How long until you fully recover?"
Alistair turned, asking.
Kanae pondered. "About a month. Evolving from larva to adult needs time."
"A month?"
"Roughly."
Alistair rubbed his chin, nodding.
Kanae asked softly, "Your Majesty, any orders?"
Alistair waved. "Nothing major. I'm just intrigued by you sisters."
"…"
Silence fell.
Kanae froze. Did her lord just say that outright?
Not that.
She wasn't shy—that was minor. Wasn't this too damaging to his majesty?
"Heh heh heh~~~"
Alistair chuckled. "No need to overthink. I'm the god of darkness, and you're my dependent."
"You and Shinobu."
"Akame and Kurome."
"Hm~~~"
Alistair narrowed his eyes, pondering something.
Kanae fell silent again. Was this okay? Not okay?
Hm~~~
Just go with it.
Whatever His Majesty said, went.
Alistair was intrigued by sister pairs, but he wasn't in a rush.
His current focus was how to use the ghost origin.
Something felt off, but he couldn't pinpoint it. He'd study it later.
And!
He'd sensed earlier the ghost origin was incomplete. After retrieving the Blue Spider Lily and fusing them, the origin was fully restored.
