Chapter 203 - 195: Talk with Tatsumaki

Arthur was sitting in his private chamber trying to come up with a something for the current predicament he was in.

"Ah, this is fucked up. I should have put that WCl in the storage. Now it's in the dimensional gap. If I go there, there is no doubt Red will attack me. If I didn't have a plan with Rias and others, I would have gone," Arthur murmured to himself.

If He and Great Red started to fight, then the fight would have gone for decades. While the Destructive Demon Avatar is powerful and can defeat Great Red in minimum time, the second he turns to that avatar, the Death Troll will go up in billions.

As the name implies, the power of the Destructive Demon is absolute destruction since Dev was the one who gave it to him as a gift; all its abilities were already pre-set. While he didn't bother with people dying, he could just give all people a second chance by transmigrating to a different world in Yggdrasil; the problem was he had no doubt that Rias and others would immediately die the moment the presence of the destructive demon hit them, as they are still weak.

"Those fuckers really did numbers this time. I am their dad. Why can't they at least give them time to take rest? And Friday. Are you there? Answer me." Arthur shakes his head as if he is feeling a headache just from thinking about all the stuff that's happening.

The one thing he noticed was that after turning into his doppelganger to scare off Throximus, he was feeling all refreshed, as if he were still in his peak.

"Is it because it's been so long I turned to doppelganger form? Given that, I have no need to turn into it. It's been a couple of centuries since I turned, right?" Arthur thought to himself.

Since the Doppelganger form is quite scary and even the Guardians shrink back when seen, Arthur didn't use it, and the Incubus form is more convenient for conversation as well as for having sex. And frankly, his original form didn't have an ounce of kindness; it was all about reason in that form.

In his original form, Arthur had no doubt that, the moment his children did the rebellion, their heads would have rolled on the floor.

"Man, all feeling really good." Arthur once again said as he stretched his legs. It felt like all the worry about his children and whatever had stopped.

"Does going back to my true form reset my avatar or something? If Friday were here, she would have answers to this. Well, since she is searching for a way in the Infinity timeline to not kill the children, I shouldn't disturb her. If I get the chance, I should knock some sense into Ophis also. If she wants some silent place, how many times did I call to come to Nazarick? Instead, she's gone and given her troublesome snakes to my children."

As Arthur was complaining about Ophis, a knock was heard from the outside.

"My lord, can I come in?" It was Tatsumaki.

"Come in," Arthur said.

Tatsumaki came in and knelt before Arthur.

"Stand up. What did I tell you about kneeling in front of me when nobody's there?" Arthur's voice was not authoritative like always; it was soft. A complete change from previously.

Tatsumaki stood up and looked at Arthur for some time.

Arthur touched his face. "Is something on my face?"

"No, my lord." Then Tatsumaki paused as if choosing words carefully. "Did something good happen, my lord?"

"Why, you ask?" Arthur asked as his head tilted sideways.

"Well, you sound different, my lord."

"How different."

"Like how you were previously before the children and stuff. When you just travel around the world." Tatsumaki didn't know what the reason was, but she clearly felt the difference. She was with him since the moment Ancient When she arrived in this world, she would notice slight emotional changes, so there is no doubt that the Ancient One feels different compared to yesterday. He looked vigorous.

"You think so too, huh? Well, I also felt something different. Anyway, why did you come?"

Since they won't disturb him for no reason. Arthur concluded that she must have come here for a reason.

"Please don't take my words in offense, my lord. While others said in the meeting that we should kill children. I plead, my Lord, if possible in any way, please spare their lives. Even if there are traitors who go against you. They are still our own. If there is any way to save them, please, my Lord, consider it."

Hearing the request, Arthur silently watched her.

"Came here, Tatsumaki."

Tatsumaki legitimately thought she was going to get killed or at least get a beating for going against her lord's decision. But instead he just picked her up and sat her on his thighs and pulled her into a hug from her stomach.

"How can you be sooooo cutie pie?" Arthur said as he tightened her hug.

Blood started to flow in Tatsumaki's face. "Release me, you pervert."|

"Oh come on, let me get a whiff of this hair."

"Ahhhh!" Tatsumaki used her esper power and made a shelf fall into his head.

"That's so cruel. How can you do that to your hubby?" Arthur said as he rose from the now broken shelf.

Yeah, he really returned to his previously vigorous self. The one who didn't care for the consequences.
