Chapter 237 - I Will Take Over The World
-----
Noah had something in mind! Something… insane.
Not even other SS-Rank Hunters had considered doing this due to its insane implications, but Noah and his subordinates had enough strength to easily accomplish it… And even if other SS-Rank Hunters were to oppose, they would be happy to fight them, kill them or recruit them forcefully, whatever came first!
"What I plan to do is something… simple. We'll take over the world," said Noah nonchalantly, his words were so ridiculous anyone on their sane mind would believe he had some kind of brain damage or was way too delusional.
Anyone with a speck of common sense would quickly call him out for being insane, and completely stupid.
But everyone around him lacked common sense already, their perception of reality was completely different, their level of strength and comprehension of magic, the world, and more was above all other humans.
And they knew the absolute monster that Noah was.
Even Iris lacked a complete understanding of Noah's complete power, he was constantly growing stronger every single day… but he always defeated his enemies through a combination of cunningness and cheap tactics, and never showcased all he could do.
But she was sure, as his wife, that he could, quite literally, destroy the entire world.
It was already within their minds that it was completely possible for Noah.
Noah could easily charge all the power of everyone's souls and generate a Vampiric Blast that could penetrate the planet's crust and then blow up its core.
And the world would simply end.
Even other SS-Rank Hunters were not able to do such an insane thing.
Not even Fernand's brother… who had recently fallen ill and was bedridden due to the curse being so strong after Noah became stronger that he was quite literally having his soul eaten away.
Just as Noah had dropped these words, Fernand's Firebrand brother, Jean Firebrand felt a sharp pain in his chest and fell unconscious, making the medics around him panic.
"I see… So you've already decided then," sighed Arthur.
"There's no going back," sighed Timassa.
"The world shall be of our Lord if he so desires…" said Jon.
"The world will be our playground!" said Adamantine.
"My lord, I shall freeze an entire Sector in your name," said Clementina.
"Ah…! Me too!" said Sakura.
"You're not joking, huh…" sighed Sugar.
"Master, I am expectant to see you dominate this world," said Noire.
"I guess it is what it is. You're ready, aren't you?" asked Iris.
"I am… but I want to prepare some more before that. There are a few loose things I need to resolve as well…" said Noah.
"What about Fernand Firebrand?" asked Arthur.
"Hm? Ah… He is so insignificant I don't care anymore, but he is loyal, so tell someone to bring him to the guild…" said Noah.
"You don't want to kill him?" asked Iris.
"Hm… Not really. I simply… Don't care. It doesn't surge from my heart to do anything," sighed Noah, he was simply not being moved by revenge anymore, only the desire to grow stronger and protect what he cared for.
"Hm… And his brother?" wondered Jon.
"About his brother, I might go kill him and make him into a Blood Soul Servant, or should I eat his soul? I wonder if I can get something by drinking his blood… Or maybe I can get his Skill? Hmm, I doubt it would be as easy to get such a powerful Skill so easily... But it could be a good way to measure my power by fighting him enraged," said Noah.
"A little skirmish would be fun to watch, though the obvious winner will be Noah-sama. An SS-Rank against a weakened S-Rank is too much of a one-sided battle!" laughed Timassa.
"I suppose we have already grown up past such meaningless things," chuckled Iris.
"Indeed, and with a wife who is pregnant, why would I care about an ignorant fool and his brother? I only desire to grab everything here and then get out, I must procure your safety and that of my children," said Noah, revealing the news to everyone present!
"Eh?! What?" asked Arthur.
"Oh my… Iris-sama… you're pregnant?!" asked Timassa.
"This is… amazing news!" said Jon.
"Celebrate! We must celebrate!!!" roared Clementina.
"Baby!" said Adamantine.
"I-Is this what is called… human reproduction?" asked Sakura while blushing.
"I think so!" said Sugar.
"Outstanding… Noah-sama must have mated with Iris-sama several times to accomplish such a feat… Impressive," said Noire.
"Uwah! Stop talking about such embarrassing stuff! And Noah, I thought you had already told them…!" cried Iris.
"Eh? I thought you already told them…" said Noah.
"Oh… I guess we assumed they already knew…" said Iris.
"That's right… Well, good news for everyone then. Days ago, through my senses, I had discovered that Iris was pregnant of two… Well, she already knew it as she felt it through her senses, but I discovered it and she ended up telling me," said Noah.
This had happened only four days ago, as Noah was sleeping at the side of Iris at night while being covered below the bedsheets, he had suddenly felt the beat of two small hearts.
He thought it was merely an illusion due to how small they were but… after a bit, he realized they came from Iris.
Noah had asked her why she didn't tell him earlier, and it was because she was looking for a "perfect opportunity" to do it…
In the end, Noah simply hugged Iris and kissed her, as he felt a great feeling of fulfillment, knowing that he would finally have offspring… even though both of them were 18, he was happy to be a parent, nonetheless.
Both were still deciding what names should be given to the babies, but because they were mere fetuses, they should be left for later.
"So that's why you've been very overprotective of her… I remember that Noah-sama always invited Iris to participate in physical combat, but now, you often tell her to attack from afar or to protect herself with her soul beast from materialization," said Timassa.
"Ah… Haha, well, the fetuses are very small, so I don't think even if I were to lose a limb or two anything would happen to them…" said Iris.
"But a wound near the stomach could be fatal for them, so you better stay in the backlines protected by the blood servants and the robots," said Noah rather firmly, Iris was left with no option. Although she loved to get into the frontlines, Noah only allowed this when he was sure that the monsters wouldn't be able to damage her.
"I know, I know~ You're a good father," said Iris, kissing Noah's cheek.
"Haha… to think that we jumped from a world-dominating topic to talk about our lord's children. A truly blessed conversation," said, Arthur.
"If we shall conquer the world to secure our lord's offspring's safety, then it shall be done!" said Clementina.
"So they're two? And since when as our lady been pregnant?" wondered Timassa.
"Weeks ago… Probably since the first- You don't know need details for that," said Noah, suddenly stopping from saying the exact date of the first time both him and Iris had sex.
"I-I see!" said Timassa while blushing a bit, she already guessed what he was going to say, and so all of his subordinates.
