After a year and a half from the Orias Star System, Hart reached the Leraje Star System, the last of the Tri-Clan Confederation, and had Maya’s alter create a realm.
The star system where the realm was created is at coordinates close to Uvall and far from Gremory. In order to prevent the system from falling easily, a space sector that was difficult to invade was deliberately used.
Gremory, however, has not been invaded at all in the recent past.
According to Resonant Ornias, a Marquis-level thinker dispatched by Leraje on this matter,
「It appears that they are planning to mass-produce Daemon Kings in the Hercules Star System. After the death of Duke Amakawa, they will attempt to repaint the realm of the Orias Star System. Do you have any countermeasures on the spirit side?」
Ornias showed no sign of concern because she witnessed Maya mow down four Daemon Kings in the Ten-to Star System.
On the Monarchy side, there are the Spirit Emperors Lulu and Maya. Even if the Daemon King attacks, it is not difficult to imagine that it can be resolved by using the Spirit Emperors.
However, the Spirit Emperors, Lulu and Maya, only create realms when their direct contractor, Hart, instructs them to.
Lulu plans to stay with Hart until his natural death, and spiritize him. Maya, of course, will follow along.
After that, they will help Hart ascend to the rank of Spirit King, and will place an alter body in the star system where humans live to accumulate energy while watching over the end of this universe.
In this way, Hart imagines a rough vision of the future.
Therefore, the battle between the Spirits and the Daemons of rank of King and above for the star systems will take place after Hart is gone.
At this stage, if they corner Hart, who has a direct contract with the two Spirit Emperors, there is no telling what he will do.
If the Hercules System and the Lemegeton System, where the Daemon King of Gremory has created a realm, are attacked and two Spirit Emperors attempt to seize the realms, even the Daemon Emperor will be in danger.
After receiving information from Tenka and the Daemons, Gremory learned that Hart is the threat, and would probably hold out for about 300 years until Hart reaches the end of his life.
Hart, who was even asked to deal with post-mortem issues, let out an involuntary sigh.
“We will increase the number of humans in the Andromeda Galaxy, store energy for defense, and supply spirit crystals from the Milky Way Galaxy. The defending spirits are extremely strong, and if they have the energy, they will not be defeated.”
As an immediate measure, Hart showed how to increase the number of humans in the three star systems with Maya’s alters, to provide them with greater purifying energy for the miasma, and strengthen them so that they do not be defeated in defensive battles.
The energy produced in the Andromeda Galaxy would also be stored without using it, and instead the method would be changed to supply spirit crystals made in the eight star systems in the Milky Way Galaxy.
「Understood. I’ll make them do lot of erotic things and increase the number of human beings, so please don’t take away the realms of the three star systems.」
“I’ll ask the Source Spirit Emperor to take care of it.”
「I’m looking forward to working with you. Then… some selective breeding, then I’ll increase their number with a bang bang. Just the tip, just the tip, that’s impossible~ trust me~」
Is the translation done for Ornias really working accurately?
With such unspoken doubts in his heart, Hart made arrangements to switch the source of the Spirit Crystals to the Milky Way Galaxy.
With Gremory waiting for Hart’s lifespan, the Andromeda Galaxy entered a state of truce.
Hart felt a strong sense of crisis when he initially encountered an advanced civilization, but he was relieved to have reached the current stage. There are problems in the world that cannot be helped, but if not, they can move toward solutions.
Incidentally, what could he do about an unavoidable problem?
「O Brave Hero, you could become a Quantum Thinker. Uvall welcomes you, and with your achievements against Gremory, we will raise you to Marquis-level Thinker. Duplicates, a duplicate is fine with me!」
Hymn Pamela, a Duke-level thinker sent by Uvall, was extremely talented.
She went out of her way to help design the system so that humanity would not be dominated by Goetia and could have a long relationship of coexistence and co-prosperity. In addition, she created countermeasures against Linnell and procedures for dealing with Gremory’s direct invasion of the Milky Way Galaxy.
She is an extremely capable saint who anticipates all kinds of problems and creates countermeasures in advance.
However, there are also troubling aspects that are too heavy to balance out.
「I will provide a body according to the Hero’s preference, one that can be changed over and over again. So let’s live together. With the Hero, I can live with you for 10 million years.」
10 million years is time enough for Hart’s 300 years lifespan to be repeated about 33,333 times.
Most people might find it fun to reincarnate once or twice. They can do many things that they couldn’t experience in their first life.
But after 10 repetitions, it will get a little boring. At the very least, the top 10 priorities would be gone.
100 times is too much.
After 1,000 times, you may not even have motivation anymore.
And 10,000 carrying on with a decent mentality would be doubtful.
By becoming a Spirit, measures would probably be taken for one’s mentality, but it seems that Goetia’s technology has not reached there, and there are many who have opted to drop out.
What would be an appropriate response to Pamela, who wants to continue a loving life over 30,000 times?
She was so persistent that Lulu tried to persuade Pamela to give up by secretly keeping her within the realm, and making her understand that Hart would be transformed into a spirit after his death.
So Pamela backed down once, but she was not ready to give up and changed her way of persuading him, saying that providing a duplicate would suffice.
If it is simply a duplicate, it seems that it will not affect the spiritization. Lulu, having been persuaded in a different way, was convinced and backed down.
Then, Pamela came at him with a strong push.
“Apologies, we’re the older generation who believe that when they are photographed, their souls are sucked away by the pictures.”
「That will never, ever happen. So please let me duplicate the Hero’s mind and body. I’ll take great care of that!」
Hart, who felt like he was being asked to make a clone and sell it, wondered if the gender of the requester and the provider were reversed.
If he complied with Pamela’s request, Hart would become a Marquis-class thinker, and Uvall, who controls 10% of Goetia, would become like a relative.
The risk of humanity being dominated by Goetia may then be greatly reduced.
On the other hand, if Pamela holds a grudge, one can imagine the terrible things that could happen.
Pamela’s tastes are apparently very strict, and it seems that humanity is completely out of her strike zone, except for Hart, a Hero donning a dignified black jellyfish appearance.
“In that case, how about a sampling?”
If you put your hands on Pamela, unless you take responsibility and reciprocate, you will be on a straight path to becoming mentally compromised.
“Why did Emperor Uvall send Pamela?” wondered Hart, holding his head as he barely resisted the direct attack today.
Having made three-star systems of the Andromeda Galaxy into realms, Hart took another strategic step for the future.
In the Artemis Star System ruled by the Duke of Takrham, the Spirit Emperors Lulu and Maya have dealt with the Duke’s “magic power draining device”.
After a few generations, Hart’s magic power would be mixed with other families, and drop to a level not much different from the surrounding aristocrats.
In contrast, the Duke of Takrham, who acquired the national mages of Kyūyama, will continue to have high magic power for generations.
If this situation continues for hundreds of years, the power of the Duke of Takrham family will become too strong in the Monarchy.
It is a problem that needed to be solved for the sake of a just future, and Hart, who also knows that the relic is related to Daemons, asks the spirits for a solution.
In the Artemis Star System, the Spirit King Berenice created her realm. If the relic of a Daemon cannot be dealt with in the realm a Spirit King, it is definitely a relic related to a Daemon of a higher rank than the Spirit King.
Therefore, he decided to let the Spirit Emperor handle it, and stopped by the Artemis Star System to check on the status of Spirit Kings in various sectors, but the result was unexpected.
『It’s a fragment of the energy crystal of the Daemon God. Based on Granma’s energy crystal, there is 10% left.』
『At 10%, is it as powerful as the Spirit King?』
『It’s 10%, but it’s peculiar. Berenice can’t handle it.』
After a little hesitation, Lulu eventually came to a conclusion.
『Lulu will take care of this. After making Papa a Spirit King who is effectively twice as powerful with Grandma’s crystal, I will have Papa break thing that has been entrusted to me and suck it up, and be promoted to the Spirit Emperor in one stroke.』
Lulu retrieved the fragment of the Daemon God’s energy crystal, a relic hidden by the Duke of Takrham, and put it away in a dimension beyond the reach of humanity.
With this, the Duke of Takrham lost the ability to deprive others of their magic power and add it to their blood relatives.
Hart said nothing on the subject, and nothing was said by Duke Takrham. Neither of them wanted the matter mentioned, and it was assumed to have never happened from the beginning.
With this, Hart’s battles, internal and external, have finally come to an end.
A month has passed since the matter of Duke Takrham was settled.
The abdication of Former Queen Yuna and the coronation of the new Sovereign, Josslan, were grandly held in the Monarchy’s eight star systems.
In the Hermes Star System, where the capital has been relocated, the white Mobile Fortress Ramiel, which emits a dazzling light, sets off for the Grand Duchy of Taka Amanohara.
Then, replacing Ramiel, the Mobile Fortress of the new Sovereign Josslan, who arrived from the Diete System, began entering satellite orbit to protect the new Capital planet, Kerykeion.
In this supremely clear indication of a change of Sovereigns, the people of the Monarchy realized that their guardian had changed.
Although she only reigned for four years, Queen Yuna became a ruler of many accomplishments, even remaining in human history after the Monarchy’s demise, and recorded in the advanced alien civilizations of the Andromeda Galaxy.
The unification of humanity and the Milky Way Galaxy. The treaty with an advanced alien civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy. The creation of intergalactic Transition Gates. The economic development and technological breakthroughs of the future were the achievements of Queen Yuna, who concluded treaties with the Tri-Clan Confederation.
Due to her enormous achievements, there were tremendous calls against Yuna’s abdication.
However, Queen Yuna was originally scheduled to abdicate and marry the Marquis of Amakawa. It was postponed by the war and she was crowned as a bridge until the next Sovereign could be raised.
The war among mankind is already over. Queen Yuna put an end to it.
“I have done my part.”
The majority of the Royal People, who were deeply moved by the Queen’s words, gave their heartfelt blessings to the married life after her abdication, while at the same time mourning the extraordinary Queen.
The Monarchy held a ceremony of abdication and enthronement in the morning, which held the abdication and accession ceremonies in the morning, scheduled a wedding ceremony in the afternoon between the Duke of Amakawa, whose domain was in the Diete Star System, and Grand Duke Yuna of Taka Amanohara.
Many people thought that it would be possible to at least straddle the day, but before her abdication, Her Majesty the Queen resolutely refused to give up the schedule, as if it was her first and last act of selfishness.
After the abdication of the Queen and the coronation of the new Sovereign, “Duchess Yuna of Amakawa” smiled at the countless media outlets and calmly waved her hand as she entered the Diete Star System through the transition gate of the MacLir Star System, where the Grand Duchy of Taka Amanohara was located.
At this stage, there is no way to hope for her continuation as the Queen.
Even some of the remaining supporters of the continuation of the Queen’s regime eventually gave up.
Then, they waved their hands toward Yuna, who got into the convertible with Hart and a smile on her face, and threw words of congratulation while scattering confetti with the people.
April 448 of the Monarchy Calendar.
After overcoming all the obstacles that came her way, Yuna finally celebrated her wedding with her hero, Hart.
The Hard Mode of the Maiden Game that Hart once saw has finally reached its True End.
