Chapter 267: The Plot Changed Again...
Chapter 267: The Plot Changed Again...
(3rd person perspective)
Yao Chengdong was the main successor of the Yao Family, one of the Four Great Families of China whose power can rival great supernatural organizations.
Yao Chengdong was a man who had it all, money, women, authority, and prestige, but he wanted more.
To increase his prestige and status he decided that he needed an extraordinary woman in his bed.
His first choice was businesswoman Lin Ruoxi as she owned one of the biggest companies in China and was one of the most beautiful women in China and the world.
Yao Chengdong was about to use his authority to get that woman, but there was another beauty that caught his attention.
Tang Wan not only had a more successful company than Lin Ruoxi, but her beauty was also comparable to that beauty as well as possessing a seductive mature charm. Although she already had a daughter, she came from one of the Four Great Families so she would be a more valuable decoration.
The Yao Family and the Tang Family began to make negotiations so that in two or three weeks a marriage agreement would be established without Tang Wan's consent.
Yao Chengdong already considered Tang Wan as his woman so he was mad with fury seeing her affectionately hug another man in a public area, he felt that it was akin to spitting on his pride.
Unfortunately for Yao Chengdong, he was now in a perilous situation.
The four bodyguards protecting him were elite warriors with the power to face gods and demons, but right now they felt as weak as an anemic cat.
The place they were in seemed like an uninhabited plain with no signs of civilization, but what really worried the bodyguards was that they could feel heavy restrictions sealing their cultivation abilities and energies.
They knew that this sensation was the same as that caused by the Authority of a Territory Administrator, a power capable of suppressing any supernatural factor.
The problem was that that city was the territory of the Yao Family and they were registered as subjects of that family so another Administrator of China should not be able to use their Authority against them, especially when the holder of the Yao Family Authority was with them.
Yao Chengdong was arrogant and overbearing because he knew that with his Authority and the strength of his bodyguards he was practically invincible in the city, but now that he couldn't use his Authority he was totally scared.
As Yao Chengdong was struggling to remain calm, a rush of blood made him pale.
"Young master be careful!" – One of the bodyguards tried to block a sword attack that was aimed at Yao Chengdong's neck, but the attacker was a skilled swordsman and managed to cut the bodyguard's shoulder.
"Oh, it's more fun when they know how to fight~" - A mocking voice sounded in the place calling the attention of the bodyguards. – "Come on, show me more of that pathetic and useless hope! Fight desperately until you fall into despair!"
The bodyguards saw the person mocking them from a distance, a tall handsome man in flashy clothing.
This man was.....................................

The man was Douman Ashiya, a heroic spirit from human history who was materialized to defend the Gaia World.
Although Douman was originally one of the Servants serving the Will of the World to protect Gaia, he was now Beast VII's slave.
Douman's mission was simple, capture the Administrators who protect the territories of Gaia to steal the Authority from her and thus build an independent World to invade Gaia ........................... .....................................................................….

Beast VII is one of the most accomplished Conquerors in the multiverse due to the fact that she does not use brute force to invade a World, rather she causes the World to destroy its own defenses from within leaving it vulnerable to outside invasions.
What Douman was doing was something called Project Lostbelt, creating an alternate timeline that is destined to fail.
Each Lostbelt functions as a cancer cell sprout. First, a reality is formed where humanity, supernatural beings, and the world itself are doomed to perish, then the Lostbelt begins to expand to deteriorate the Laws that protect the World, and finally, the false world fully merges with the real world causing history to be rewritten.
Although this sounds like the ultimate weapon to rewrite reality, the truth is that there are many things that can go wrong and the existence of Protagonists and Heroes means that the existence of the Lostbelts is destined to end before they can expand.
Gaia is a world that promotes the development of Heroes and protagonists so plans that use parasitic tactics never pan out, but that's the trick with Project Lostbelt.
Beast VII designed the Lostbelts to be destroyed by the protagonists, they are sand castles that must be destroyed to unleash a greater evil.
Each Lostbelt is deeply connected to the Laws that stabilize the World so destroying them is equal to damaging Gaia's defenses.
All this was unknown to Douman and the other subjects of Beast VII, they do not know that they are only disposable pawns and that in reality they are destined to die at the hands of the protagonists because every time one of them dies, their energies disperse within Gaia what contaminates the Laws............….

Douman was watching with amusement as the bodyguards prepared for an intense battle, he felt a kind of pleasure in seeing the desperate efforts of the humans to survive.
The bodyguards were being attacked by a delicate-looking young man who wore a strange beast mask that hid the upper half of his face.
That man was Gao Changgong, the prince of Lanling, and just like Douman, he was also a Servant who originally protected the world.
Beast VII had managed to decipher the workings of Gaia's second-biggest defense system, the Throne of Heroes...................

Beast VII not only made some Servants work for her, but she also managed to control some of the most talented Masters, people with the ability to summon Servants and supply them with magical energy to fight in different scenarios.
Gao Changgong's Master was Yu Mei-ren, an immortal recorded in Chinese history who has lived since the Age of Gods.
Yu Mei-ren was a historical figure known as Consort Yu, the wife of Xiang Yu.
In reality, she was different from Douman who had joined Beast VII of his own free will.
Yu Mei-ren hated humanity for the horrible experiences she experienced throughout her life, but she didn't want to destroy humanity, she just wanted to get away from everything and live the rest of eternity in lonely peace.
Unfortunately for her, she was turned into a slave and had no choice but to follow Beast VII's plans.
She was forced to summon Gao Changgong to carry out the Lostbelt Project and the prince was willing to help not because of the control a Master has over the Servant but because of his own sense of loyalty.
In addition to Douman and Yu, there was another subordinate of Beast VII.
Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya, the embodiment of the resentment of animals that have been persecuted by mankind.
Koyanskaya was similar to Douman in that he is amused by human pain, the difference being that Douman is motivated by his own narcissism and evil while Koyanskaya has her own goals.
She had the false idea that the Beasts were a group of creatures beyond the limitations of the World and although Beast VII was the strongest creature, the other Beasts also possessed the necessary power to be free from all restrictions.
Koyanskaya did not intend to always be Beast VII's slave but instead sought to become one of the Beasts to be free to do whatever she wants.

(Luis perspective)
"To think that fool came up with such an interesting idea… Ne, senpai, I also want to build a Lostbelt, I'll call it The Magical World of BB-chan~"
"Hey Listen! The Kingdom of the Lolicon, a Lostbelt where all the men die from a pandemic and the women are the bitches of the idiot tsundere!"
"Shuumats■ no Hare■?"
"Fuck it, the Japanese already registered all the degenerate ideas! Hey idiot dog, do something flashy before the Japanese authors register all the good ideas!"
Bunch of idiots...
The group of bodyguards continued to fight with the Servant while Beast VII's slaves watched the situation with amusement.
According to [Reader's Perspective], Douman has already stolen the Authority from two Administrators of which one is from China.
The Yang family has gone out of their way to keep it a secret that someone stole the Authority from them as it might motivate their enemies to attack them plus they are worried that Alaya might destroy them for losing something so important.
A date brought me to such problematic shit… Author of shit.
Until now Beast VII's servants have ignored me as they seek the Idiot's Authority plus my appearance and presence are that of an ordinary person with no combat ability, they basically see me as a stone on the road.
The interesting thing is that while the man named Douman and the woman named Koyanskaya watched with amusement as the bodyguards were killed, the immortal woman made a subtle gesture with her eyes to indicate that I should move away.
She doesn't seem like an empathetic woman looking to protect innocent people, she just seems tired of seeing unnecessary deaths.
I gently put Tang Wan on the ground, the [Anti-Rasen] is negating the appearance and flow of energy so the purple energy is not visible and it seems like Tang Wan is unprotected.
I sighed out loud. – "You had to ruin my vacation…"
Douman looked away from the bodyguards and finally noticed my presence. – "Oh, to think that you would be so impatient to die, well, I have no problem helping you"
Douman appears to be a smart and cunning person, but his narcissism dulls his intellect.
Without making preparations, Douman approached me. He is two meters tall so when he was in front of me he was like the difference between a child and an adult.
With a smug grin, he used his sharp fingernails to try to cut my throat, but I caught his wrist before his fingernails touched my skin.
"Tch, I just want a quiet life..." I sighed and then showed a smug smile. – "But since you want to play, then let's play"
Douman realized that something was wrong as my monstrous physical strength was not being suppressed by the Laws of this Lostbelt, but he was unable to speak as my fist hit his abdomen.
A shock wave shook the valley as a strong earthquake caused the bodyguards and the masked Servant to stumble.
Douman seems to have strong physical resistance since that blow only hurt him a little, but the humiliation of being hit by an insect made his face contort with fury.
"You're a tough punching bag" - I smiled like a smug idiot. – "Hahaha, this is starting to get interesting"
I made the spiral energy swirl around my fist generating strong friction, then used [Rasen] to materialize the electromagnetic force to form a semi-solid mass of electricity.
"Heh, don't die" - I sneered.
I purposely delayed attacking so Douman could attack me.
"How dare you hit me?!" - Douman yelled furiously as the fingers of his free hand attacked my eyes.
Although it seemed like a simple attack, it was a mixture of martial arts, curses, and spirit corruption techniques, I can even feel two different divinities in that single attack.
The two divinities are far inferior to the legacy of Hades, but Douman is far more skilled than Yang Chen and turned divine power into curses capable of harming the souls of other gods.
I let go of his arm, dodged the attack, and stomped on his right foot causing cracks on the ground.
I took advantage of the height difference to uppercut him on the chin. Since my foot was on his he didn't fly away as his head jerked back as if to detach from his body.
I used the fist that was covered in solidified electromagnetic force so Douman not only received the physical impact, but now the solidified electricity was invading his body.
On Gaia, magical defenses are not adequate to resist abilities that use scientific principles and since the Lostbelt is based on the Laws of Gaia, Douman's defenses could not protect him from electromagnetic energy.
Douman is a Servant who absorbed two deities and an evil spirit, but his anatomy is still human so the electricity was charring his nerves, organs, and muscles.
"Hahahaha, look at you now, you look like grilled meat" - I smiled and grabbed Douman's arm, then threw him on the ground and stepped on his chest. – "Come on, I'm starting to have fun!"
Koyanskaya was looking at me with interest as she analyzed my abilities and behavior, she doesn't seem to care about Douman's life.
Yu Mei-ren was surprised, though she seems a bit pleased to see Douman getting hit.
The masked Servant kept attacking the bodyguards, he only seems to care about following Yu Mei-ren's orders.
"Who are you?!" – Douman looked at me with extreme hatred even though his body was burning from the inside out.
I smiled like an arrogant jerk as I activated [Body of Beast V]. – "The garbage has no right to know my name"
[System Notification: The user has prevented the skill 'Mythomania' from hiding the user's location. The entity 'Beast VII/U-Olga Marie' found the user's location]
"... Lord VII... No, someone else..." - Douman's attitude changed completely, he went from absolute hatred to the deepest respect. – "A Lord Beast…"
"Beasts?" – I raised an eyebrow. – "Ah, whatever, I'm bored so I'll just kill you"
Several fangs emerged from my right arm which made the people who saw them pale as they cause the instinctive fear of absolute destruction. These are the fangs of Ortro.
"Wait a moment my Lord!" – Koyanskaya hurriedly approached and knelt in front of me.
I cheekily looked at the woman's body while keeping my expression smug. – "Do you know this idiot?"
"None of that my Lord, if you wish you can kill that idiot" – Koyanskaya kept her head lowered in a bow. – "But before taking any action I would like you to listen to us"
I snorted disdainfully. – "Okay, you have five minutes or I will kill you all for interrupting my date with a sexy milf"
"Now that I see you acting like a cliché system user, I'm glad you're a man bitter about life and not a narcissistic idiot" – Nyaruko smiled wryly.
I sighed internally, I want to vomit.
Koyanskaya only had false information given to her by Beast VII to manipulate her so I just pretended to listen to her while System Goddess spoke to me.
"According to the original configuration of your system, at this time you would receive various rewards for fulfilling the secret mission of discovering the origin of your power, so when you accept the Beast V title, you will automatically become the property of Beast VII without your knowledge. " – System Goddess had a wry smile.
"Hey Listen! The Harem King is not the bitch of an idiot with a final boss complex! Hahahaha take that idiot, in the future you will be moaning like a nympho in bed with this tsundere dog!" – Navi is laughing like a lunatic.
I wanted to smile wryly, I can't deny the noisy idiot did me a big favor.
"Do you still have the record of the Contract?" – I asked SystemGoddess.
"Yes" – System Goddess had an expectant smile. – "A long time ago BB helped me to modify the Contract so that your free will is not harmed or you can use the Fraud Concept to be immune to the Contract, although that will prevent you from having a method of communication with Beast VII so I recommend accepting the modified contract "
"BB-chan is the best kohai in the multiverse, senpai should treat better this adorable kohai who only wants to help the degenerate senpai" - BB had a proud smile.
This time I'll ignore the bullshit. – "Thank you, think of something you like as a reward"
"Yay, senpai will be BB-chan's pet!"
… I sighed. – "BB, don't ruin the moment"
"Tch, stingy senpai"
System Goddess gave me the concept and after doing some analysis with [Silly Jack] I accepted the Contract.
Basically, the Contract says that I can choose two orders from Beast VII and I must fulfill them, in exchange, she will form a spiritual bond with me through which she will give me rewards for completing missions.
It's similar to my Contract with Auriel with the difference that Auriel can't give me orders, but no problem, I can choose the orders I will carry out.
If Beast VII tells me something simple like 'Get me a glass of water' I can choose that order and I will be fulfilling the Contract.
The most important thing is that Beast VII will have access to the information of a forgery of my system that System Goddess made.
Beast VII will think that I have the skills that System Goddess writes, also she will think that I am following the missions that she gives me giving the illusion that I am her dog.
System Goddess can register the missions as completed so Beast VII will send me rewards even though I don't follow her orders, of course, at least I must pretend that I am cooperating with her to increase my benefits.
According to BB, Beast VII tends to hide her location among millions of fake coordinates so if I get a lot of rewards, eventually, System Goddess will be able to triangulate her location so I can cross an issue off the list.
I am lucky to have such wonderful wives.
Koyanskaya smiled in a fawning way, then reached between her breasts and pulled out a small crystal the size of a fingernail. – "Lord VII left a message for you"
Koyanskaya waited for my permission to activate the crystal. As I nodded, she worked the crystal, the light from the crystal forming a screen similar to a computer monitor.
A beautiful twenty or twenty-two-year-old woman appeared on the screen. Her white hair and her amber eyes were striking, but despite her beauty, I can't take her seriously because of her strange outfit that reminds me of a cheap TV magician.
"Hello, my young companion!" – Beast VII smiled happily. – "I introduce myself, I am the Prime Minister of Earth, the Alien God, the Evil of the End, the great, the glorious, the majestic, the absolutely beautiful, the charismatic Beast VII!"
… It has to be a joke…
"Heh, senpai is going to get a new migraine~"
I hate being an idiot magnet...
