No Otaku with Harem System

Chapter 227: Parental Instinct

I watched several dinosaurs being entombed by ice stakes.

"Don't just focus on destructive power, aim for vital points or the enemy can hide in the rubble" – I spoke loud enough for Yue to hear me.

Yue used ice magic to lock up the dinosaurs.

"You missed one" - I sighed.

Above us appeared a magic attack with a wide effect that attacked Yue and me in an attempt to obstruct our view.

"Luis!" – Yue shouted worried about my safety which made her lower her guard.

The sword passed a couple of centimeters from the side of Yue's face and pierced through the chest of a humanoid-like plant monster.

The monsters in this place have no souls and are mass-produced artificial beings so the Chaos Sword did not deal spiritual damage, but the physical damage was enough to kill the monster.

Yue looked at the ground where the monster's corpse lay and her expression turned grim.

I sighed and walked over to her. – "You focused so much on the subordinates that you forgot the leader… Today you will not have dessert"

Yue's face paled in horror as she yelled as she clutched at my shirt. - "That's not fair! This monster had abilities to hide its presence!"

I gave a small blow to her forehead. – "I already taught you to detect presences, it was your fault for trying to show off"

Yue had a pitiful expression as her hands rubbed her forehead. Since she has a high pain tolerance and strong regenerative abilities I had to use a bit of [Sadism] for her to learn her lesson.

"It's not fair..." - Yue muttered sadly.

"Life is not fair" - I shook my head and started walking. – "Come on, we should be near the end of the dungeon by now"

Yue kept pouting as we walked.

We've been in this dungeon for three days so we've gotten to know each other a little better.

Apparently, Yue was born with powerful magical abilities and at the age of 12, she awakened a special regeneration ability which also gave her eternal youth thus she looks like a brat even though she is dozens of times older than me.

At 17 she became the queen of the vampires and at 24 she was betrayed by her uncle.

As part of the coup, she was branded as a monster and those who were her allies tried to execute her, but her regeneration made her almost immortal so she was sealed, but judging by the mark on her soul, she was stored for the plans of some stupid deity.

According to the records I saw in the kingdom, the vampires perished hundreds of years ago, so Yue's disappearance may be one of the reasons for the fall of that species.

On the other hand, Yue seemed to have information about the creators of this dungeon.

In the past, there was a group of God's followers who rebelled and tried to destroy the world, but the god discovered them so the traitors had to escape, and to hide they created the Seven Great Labyrinths where they are supposedly still hiding.

This information bothers me.

This is supposed to be the hideout of an enemy of god, but System Goddess found traces of divine energy which increased as we descended deeper into the dungeon.

Now that we're about to reach the last floors, she found what seems to be a sealing magic formation to impede spatial movement abilities.

This magical formation is very hidden and will only activate when we reach the lowest level of the dungeon, turning that place into a cage.

It's a pity that Arisa doesn't know the whole plot of this series, but at least [Reader's Madness] has detected that this is a plot error so it may be the work of Paradise or another anomaly.

[Hero's Destiny] hasn't detected any traces of a system user, but there are always troublesome idiots so I've been on guard for any danger.

What is starting to worry me is that Seraph still doesn't answer my messages, but since I can still send her messages it means that she is still alive so I can only wait.

That asshole Navi said that's how an NTR starts, but [Paranoia] already found that she's just busy with work and literally doesn't have time to check my messages.

It seems that Paradise is going through a problem which only gives me a bad feeling...

While I can descend to the bottom of the dungeon in a matter of minutes if I use all my strength, I wanted to relax a bit by slaying monsters while focusing on helping Yue train her with magic.

Yue is the woman with the best innate talent for magic that I have come across, which is surprising since even Nephilia has less innate talent than Yue even though she became a goddess of magic on top of being the daughter of a Higher Entity.

(Author's Note: Nephilia de Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii?)

That doesn't mean that Yue can easily become a Higher Entity, but with the right training and resources, she can become a weapon of mass destruction that even Paradise would wish for.

Using the magic knowledge I got in the first world of magic, I had Yue train to improve her magic control which made her improve quickly, but there is a problem, she is a spoiled child...

Yue stopped in front of me and extended her arms. – "Carry me"

...

"So you want me to stop treating you like a brat?" – I sighed.

"This and that are different things" – Yue looked at me with determination. – "I am not a little girl, but I am tired and I cannot continue walking"

I sighed expressionlessly. – "Yue, I don't care if you want me to treat you with affection, but you shouldn't neglect your training, you yourself promised to become strong so as not to be a burden"

"…" – Yue lowered her arms sadly. – "I understand… I will continue training…"

I sighed and removed the Blades of Chaos from my back to place them on the sides of my waist even though I don't have a sheath to hold them, then I grabbed Yue and put her on my back. – "Hold on tight, I don't want you to cry later because you fell"

"I'm not a little girl" – Yue rubbed her cheek with my back while she clung to my shoulders like a koala.

Why do I always end up with a brat hanging from my back?

Arisa seemed to notice my existential doubt so she snorted jealously. – "Strong characters always have a loli to be strong, for example Zara■■ Kenpa■■■ from Ble■■■... Even so... I also want to ride on Onii-chan's back!... the back of a teenager… hehehe…"

That's stupid, even with the stupid laws that govern the multiverse, it would be the height of ridiculous if having a brat on the back grants a power bonus.

[System Notification: The skill 'Mama Opossum' has been obtained]

[Mama Opossum: If a son of a bitch touches my lolis I'm going to kill him and his whole world!

When an entity with the concept 'Loli' clings to the user's back, a power bonus will be obtained according to the entity's nature and skills.

Current Bonus: Increased regenerative skills. Increased magic resistance. Increased elemental resistance. Increased skill activation speed]

....

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA at this rate you're going to start lactating!"

"Confirmed, senpai best waifu"

"At this rate, Onii-chan is going to surpass Mama Emiy■"

"Luis, it seems that you won't be a bad father after all... That's cute"

"Should I climb on the back of God?"

...….

I sighed heavily, the multiverse is stupid...

We kept going until we reached a place that looked like a temple.

The place was a wide corridor that led to a door, but System Goddess informed me that in the center of the corridor there was a circle to summon a magical beast.

It seemed to be a relatively strong monster, but Yue should be able to take on it on her own so I put the brat down from my back despite her dissatisfied look.

"This seems to be the last test" - I spoke seriously. – "Do your best to pass this test, and no matter what happens, I will not intervene so try not to die or it will be a waste to have carried you here"

Yue was not disappointed by my words, on the contrary, she was brimming with determination as she knows that there is a huge gap between our abilities so she is eager to match me in terms of strength.

Yue walked a couple of steps forward activating the magic circle.

What appeared was a 6-headed hydra with different colors. Judging from the energy patterns, it seems that each head has a different skill depending on the color.

If Yue can see the attack pattern and discover the skill of each head then she will be able to defeat the hydra with ease, although the black head will be a problem as it seems to have skills to cause fear and Yue has a deep trauma of loneliness rooted in her heart.

Although Yue is immune to mind control thanks to my food, she still lacks willpower so she may have some trouble in this fight…

Well, mistakes and defeats help improve.

Yue's specialty is wind magic, but thanks to the knowledge I gave her, she can use other elements including Coco's magic, although Yue doesn't have good control of this magic so if she tries to create a miniature sun she is likely to destroy herself.

As Yue faced the last test, my attention was on the door behind the hydra.

"It's a powerful barrier…" – System Goddess was analyzing the trap that surrounded this last level of the dungeon. – "It can negate skills related to destiny, spatial movements, and magical energy… But judging from the materials used, the creator of this trap does not belong to Paradise and is the same god who put a mark on the vampire girl's soul…"

"Isn't Paradise involved in this trap?" – I frowned, that's more suspicious.

"It seems that this is the work of a native of this world, moreover, that entity seems to be on the other side of the door..." - System Goddess was deciphering all the information of the magical formation. – "Oh, this is interesting, the energy of this god is Faith energy, but without divinity so he must be a magical entity that was revered as a god, but in reality, he is not a deity…"

I didn't use [Reader's Perspective] as I was worried that a Higher Entity of Paradise was nearby, but it seems that this is all the work of the false god of this world.

System Goddess may be weak in combat, but in terms of usefulness, she's at the level of a system… I thank the idiots who underestimated her or I would have missed out on this wonderful woman.

On the other hand… The god of this world is a false god and he is here…

I think I understand why that god wants to possess Yue's body.

One of the biggest disadvantages that a God has is that they are tied to a world so it is very difficult for a God to become a Higher Entity, but at the same time they have the benefit that they will live as long as the world lives being technically immortals.

Most races have a limited life expectancy even in worlds of magic so an ability like Yue's that can provide eternal life is a highly coveted treasure.

While biological immortality is one of the first requirements to become a Higher Entity, not many entities know this since it is a secret protected by great organizations such as Paradise and Hell.

Even though this is a secret, the multiverse is full of idiots obsessed with eternal life so it wouldn't be weird if several idiots wanted to steal Yue's body since as long as she has magical power, she won't age or die.

The false god must want to use Yue's body as a vessel for his soul and thus become immortal, or at least that must have been the original plot...

[System Notification: The 'Reader's Madness' energy detected a plot error. The antagonist 'Ehit' shouldn't be in the dungeon right now]

Let's see…

That Kouki is a protagonist can be explained as the interference of Paradise to create a hero or other purpose, at the same time, Ehit's actions may be because that god discovered some information from Paradise and is now trying to fulfill his own plans by taking advantage of Paradise's actions...

[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' indicates that there is an 80% chance that the user's speculations are correct]

Stupid Higher Entities, always causing trouble...

Although on the other hand…

"What happens to a story when the main antagonist is destroyed right at the start?" – I asked BB as she is better informed than I am on these matters.

"That depends on the situation" – BB grabbed a slice of pizza. – "If the story revolves around defeating the villain, then the story ends and the world will be restarted or will be waiting for another story to begin…"

"If the villain is just the obstacle, but not the final goal, then the protagonist will reach the goal unhindered, making the Destiny Energy generated by the story deficient, causing the world to weaken and die..."

"Finally, if the villain is defeated, but not killed, then there is still a chance to move the story forward as long as a foreign entity collaborates to restructure the story... For the latter, the Heroes are very helpful" - BB shrugged shoulders and ate the slice of pizza.

I see…

Maybe if I capture Ehit I can make the story flow naturally to take advantage of the plot armor, plus if I actually finish the story it would mean my time in this world will be over quickly and I don't want to go back to teen dramas for a couple of months.

I have some ideas…

"I can feel senpai's malice and I'm getting turned on~" – BB's eyes turned red as she licked her lips.

"BB, based on the structure of this world, how likely is this world to survive Nyarlathotep's visit?" – I smiled seeing that Yue deciphered the hydra's skills so she chose to destroy the white head first so that the monster could not heal itself.

"... Luis... Are you going to destroy a world just to not go to class?" – Tsubaki sighed with disappointment.

"Don't get me wrong" - I smiled bitterly. – "This place belongs to Paradise so they must be planning something troublesome by summoning so many heroes while severing our link with Gaia… I am just protecting my classmates"

"..." - Tsubaki sighed. – "I hate when you can justify your atrocities… It's fine, but at least try to reduce collateral damage, until now you have not faced an entity with a power beyond the world scale so you should not lower your guard"

"I know" – I nodded with satisfaction at the fact that Tsubaki is no longer the same naive girl I met for the first time. – "That is why I am going to accumulate the materials and important people for the plot before calling that Outer God… The students will take several weeks to clear the upper floors of the dungeon so I have time before Paradise notices that I took to Yue"

"What will you do if Paradise demands you to hand over the vampire girl?" – System Goddess asked me with curiosity. – "She is an essential part of the destiny of this world, so she must have a use, something similar to what happened with Fleonell in the previous magic world"

"Oh, I'm sure Paradise will require me to hand Yue over to them" - I smiled. – "That is why I have Nyarlathotep's contact ready, those idiots will be too busy to worry about my actions"

Tsubaki sighed. – "I am glad that little Kanata is entertained watching anime in your private world or she could be terrified if she hears this…"

"I'm scared, does that count?" – Fauna asked with a charming smile.

"Come on, don't be afraid" - Coco patted Fauna's shoulder. – "This will be exciting!"

"Why is everyone here crazy?" - Rushia sighed.

Coco smiled. – "The flat yandere said it"

Again I felt my mind shake from Rushia's loud shout.

I insist, she should be a death metal singer...
