"They're probably in Abyss, or notโฆ We shouldn't revisit Abyss for now; we need to amass more power. If the Sun God is this powerful on that Parallel Earth already, he must be even more in Abyss," I said.
"More powerโฆ" Nesiphae muttered. "Indeed, we need to keep growing and also level up. We've been living peacefully there, and I like my family, but it's certainly not the way to do things."
"Yeah," I nodded. "Waking up Frank is also a priority, finding the "key". I believe that by finding it, we could gain somethingโฆ perhaps not just the ability to move to whatever second floor this weird dungeon could have but maybe become the true ruler of that parallel world. But whatever the case, we must do this step by step."
"If the Sun God is making the Vampires into Recessedโฆ do they know this?" Redgaria asked. "Are they happy about it?"
"I don't know," I said. "Noah also stepped into the dungeon with his family, looking for some missing allies apparently, so Abyss is left without his protectionโฆ"
"So he abandoned everything to look for a friend? Well, isn't he more emotional than I thought?" Agatheina laughed.
"Yeah, he is," I nodded. "I fought him, but he likes to pretend that he's emotionless and doesn't care, but he very much care about these things."
"Could he be a potential ally?" Rimuru asked.
"I don't know, he tried to kill me several times thoughโฆ" I said, rubbing my chin. "He hates me for stealing the sun from Abyss andโฆ causing a mess. He definitely wanted me dead but after we fought and nothing happened, he abandoned the ideaโฆ He also seemed somewhat intimidated by my father's strength, or at least, he decided to retreat after seeing him appear with the rest of the Chaos Gate coming to help me."
"Hmmโฆ" Brontes nodded. "He probably thought that it was pointless to try to kill you, even more when he realized you weren't exactly a threat to himโฆ and maybe he already released all his frustrations."
"Mama died?" Scarlet asked me.
"But she's alive right here, right?" Nirah wondered.
"Mama, don't dieโฆ!" Jeanne started crying, rubbing her face on my chest.
"Aw, mama is not going anywhere," I said with a smile. "I didn't dieโฆ And even if I did, I could reviveโฆ I was able to test such an insane ability against him. But it still has its weaknesses."
"So you're unkillableโฆ" Redgaria muttered. "Well, nothing has changed, you were unkillable already beforehand when you came back out of nowhere."
"Hahah, that was more like a coincidence," I said. "I died back then but was summoned right awayโฆ Ah well, some of the kids here don't even know about what happened back then, but I guess it's better if they don't knowโฆ Anyway, regarding the alliance, I'll also work with my father and the Chaos Gate to dismantle it."
"Sounds good," Redgaria said. "Let me join you then."
"You sure?" I asked.
"I am," he nodded. "Don't summon me either, I'm going there on my own with my sister."
"Wait, what? Are you sure? But why?" I asked, surprised.
"If what you said is trueโฆ I want to give her a family," sighed Redgaria. "Our parents were never good; she never go to experience what having a family that loved her was like."
"We are not sure she'll get a good and loving family," I said. "It's all a gamble; she could get abusive parents too."
"โฆIt's worth giving it a try," Redgaria sighed. "And I'll help you hunt down those bastards."
"Well, if you insistโฆ" I nodded. "You're welcome in that world. I'll try to convince father to recruit you. You may have to showcase your abilities."
"That won't be a problem," Redgaria smirked. "I'm sure my sister will like the idea, she's been feeling lonely even when I'm with herโฆ I don't know what to do with her, I often think that something truly was missing for her."
"Aw, aren't you nice, worrying about her like that?" I smiled, feeling moved.
"Hmphโฆ" he ignored my words, looking elsewhere.
Maybe he wants to help but doesn't want to say it directly, he's always been like thisโฆ Despite his age he usually acts like an angsty teen or an angsty young adult.
Both of the two works.
"Who else wants to come along? I will not bring everyone right away but will make a list," I said.
"I do," Agatheina said. "I quite like the Academy and everything, but I am very interested on this Human world and how it could be structuredโฆ Especially if its similar to the world Flora talked before. As a Goddess of the Ancient Era of Genesis before the Great Cataclysm that shattered it and divided it into Realmsโฆ I've always been curious about the past of humanity I didn't get to see after a large portion of them escaped."
"What about you, Alice?" I asked her.
"I am considering itโฆ" Alice nodded her head. "But can we return here any time too?"
"Yes, you can," I nodded. "There's no obligation of staying. Your connection with me already allows you to easily teleport to my Cosmic Realm at any time by creating a special portal."
"Hmm, alrightโฆ Maybe," Alice said. "What do you think, Jeanne?"
"I dunnoโฆ there's other vampires?" Jeanne asked.
"Yes there's quite a few, good and badโฆ" I nodded. "Hmm, it's quite the mix of Vampires actually."
"Oohโฆ but I want to keep going to the academyโฆ" Jeanne said.
"You should be able to find time for both things with ease," I said. "So don't worry."
"Um, okay!" Jeanne nodded. "What about big bro?"
"I guess I could go help," Alucard said. "But we are all still learning in the academy, so I would prefer if we don't get too distracted."
"Alright," I nodded. "Right, Jonette, can you call her, Alice? Ismena and Acelina are there after all, althoughโฆ well, you know."
