Taming my Monster Girl Harem from Scratch

Chapter 316 Complete Lineup

Gemini's life was completely exhausted. He was dead beyond doubt after Yu Na deleted his very being from the world. As proof, the barrier surrounding the capital that prevented entry and exit and hampered teleportation vanished at the same time as his death.

"Will! I'll be moving to eliminate the demons around; you stay here with Haru and Fuyu!"

Just as her fight with Gemini ended, she was already about to move to her next battlefield. After all, just because the last of the four zodiacs died doesn't mean the demons they brought with them would stop the massacre they were doing.

From what I could see alone, there were thousands of them scattered around the entire capital. Even with Yu Na's speed, the number of lives she would fail to save could reach five digits.

Suddenly, before she could even move from her spot, the energy signature of all the demons vanished. I thought I was hallucinating at first, but seeing that Yu Na herself was confused, I confirmed that she wasn't the one that did it and that she herself wasn't sure what happened.

"Good work, you two."

Just as we were becoming wary of our surroundings, the space before me started cracking, upon which a beautiful black-haired lady popped out. It was none other than Goddess Zeta!

"Don't worry about the demons in the capital; I've already teleported all of them to a place where they have zero chances of survival."

Furthermore, from behind her, another familiar figure came out. A fluffy appearance and a gentle smile covered her sleepy-looking face, with curved horns on the sides of her head.

"Zeta~, I'll go and heal those who are injured. I'll leave this place to you~"

The second goddess, the Goddess of Healing, Eta, vanished promptly from within our sights. I couldn't track her movements at all, but I could see the waves of her energy covering large areas of the capital.

Those injured were healed promptly, while those who died and still had a chance of revival were resurrected. Watching everything unfold before my eyes made me feel like I was now looking at a miraculous scene.

Zeta didn't bother watching Eta's display but instead focused on creating two portals right before her. In just a few moments, they were completed, letting a few figures pass through without problem.

On one side, there was a group of all girls. Goddess Blanc, Goddess Vermeil, Ember, Fang, Igni, and Fatima. All of them looked tired, but seeing that their steps were stable, they were still far from their limits.

From the other side, God Zeshion, God Ajax, and Goddess Alpha popped out. They were looking pretty fine, to the point that nobody could guess they had been fighting for a week nonstop.

"Oh, Will, so you're still here?"

Zeshion quickly noticed me and waved as a greeting.

"Master!"

"Leader!"

"My Lord!"

"Will!"

The four girls, on the other hand, quickly rushed to my side with sparkling eyes, as if waiting for praise for a job well done. Well, we could only gather everyone here like this because they did work hard, so I patted their heads in order.

"So it's this brat again? What does Agor want from him that he keeps on being at the center of the commotion?!"

Ajax, slightly irritated, scoffed as he turned away.

Regarding that, I wasn't too sure of the reason. But most probably, it was due to my System's Crowned Successor title.

Goddess Blanc went to my side silently, waving her hand as a wave of healing light fell, curing the bruises and internal injuries I sustained earlier. Even Hekate, who was roughed up by Gemini, recovered fully.

Minerva, who wasn't at the scene, was apparently left at Yu Na's office as a relay in case someone wanted to pass a message to her. As soon as she felt that the danger was gone, she was already on the move to return to our side.

"Anyway, now that we're all here, I guess it's time for the main event?"

Vermeil asked, crossing her hands before her chest; her clothes were full of burns and holes, hiding almost nothing from sight. Her red hair was flowing freely with the wind, scattering around like a raging flame.

"I guess you're right, Vermeil. With the borders already restored, and the military fighting hard to maintain it, this is the best chance we have to attack the Royal Capital."

The succubus tamers did most of the heavy lifting for that, and I'm extremely thankful for their sacrifice too. Especially the few who lost their lives in the battle.

I know it was unavoidable, but after they lost the status boost, some of them failed to escape in time and died. Those were the minority, however, so it wasn't too bad, plus, the Guren and Luo families were also already moving for the bereaved families' just compensation.

"For now, all we know is that the Royal Capital had fallen in the hands of the enemy, right?"

Goddess Blanc asked with a curious gaze, looking at Alpha, who was standing idly by the side. As if realizing her true intention for asking, Alpha stepped forward and explained.

"The future after this is extremely vague, due to a certain someone adding more variables to the unstable spacetime continuum."

I could feel her blaming gaze on me, but I was acting as if I hadn't noticed, humming random tunes as I listened to her words.

"Anyway, Noir is seemingly searching for something in the depths of the Royal Castle's Underground Ruins. What he's looking for, even I have no idea."

"Underground Ruins?"

It was the first time I heard that the castle had such a thing resting below it. Is it like an RPG dungeon or something? Although I was excited to try a dungeon dive with the girls, we first needed to focus on how to handle Noir's case.

"In short, we all would need to explore the underground labyrinth, search for Agor, and defeat him? Easy!"

Ajax seemed elated, as if it would be a piece of cake to capture Noir without his twelve zodiacs around. However, I know another detail that would make things more complicated.

"Agor has regained his god-tamer status."

"...!"

Everyone let out a silent gasp, hearing what I said. Only Alpha, who seemed to have known about it beforehand, and Zeshion, who knows Noir better than anyone else, were the exception.

All eyes turned to the three of us, as if asking for confirmation. Zeshion sighed deeply before nodding his head.

"Yes, it's true. Noir probably regained his powers using unknown methods. This means that if we encounter him, expect a battle more intense than the last time we all tried to subdue him."

The other god tamers' faces turned dark after hearing this.

After all, when they captured Noir before, they wasted a lot of effort and even prepared traps and all that. Despite that, Ajax and Vermeil were incapacitated, Blanc was rendered powerless, and Zeshion gained multitudes of injuries.

"... But now, we have the system's support, so we can definitely win this!"

It was also true that before, they fought him without any support from the system. However, now that the Administrative Privileges of the system have returned, more and more tamers are having their systems activated.

"That's also true,"

Zeshion smiled at my words. 

"Now that we have the system's halo, all our old injuries have long since healed. If we did fight Noir, then we would definitely be able to fight better than before!"

Noir's system was probably deactivated since his taming system was stripped away before. Even if he could turn back time for himself, resurrecting after death, the system's activation is solely recorded by the system itself, so there's no way to cheat it.

This fact actually gave us a large advantage.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Ajax urged everyone, while Zeshion scanned all our faces and determined that nobody had an objection to it. After confirming, he then clapped to gather our attention.

"Alright. Let's go to the royal capital. The plan is simple: we kill anything and anyone that blocks the way, regardless of who it is."

"..."

Everyone quickly understood the meaning hidden behind his words. After all, the Royal Capital had fallen already, meaning the king, his wives, and children would most likely have fallen under Noir's control.

It would be pathetic to get killed by a controlled ally just because of pity, so Zeshion made that point before we even rushed in.

As before, nobody actually dared to raise an objection. Seeing that, Goddess Zeta quickly moved everyone to the portal leading to the Royal Capital. The guards were surprised upon seeing the four god tamers gathered together and didn't even dare block their way.

Their faces were as effective as the black VVIP card that I received from the king before. Thanks to that, everyone, including me and the girls, along with Yu Na, reached the teleportation array without any issues.

"No need to stand in ceremony, is there? Then, let's go to the Royal Capital!"

Zeshion roared and, at the same time, activated the teleportation array. With a burst of white light, we left the capital city.
