Chapter 666: 666 Fairy Tail: Juvia Melted in Bed, Having a Harem Needs Hard Work, The Devil's Visit, A Diligent Maid and What's Next?
Allen left his room, leaving Juvia "asleep," after having to endure his good mood upon learning that he could finally leave this world.
"Allen-sama❤️~"
The girl wore a poorly adjusted nightgown and drooled while murmuring his name with a silly smile. Anyone would think Allen had given her a hentai-style mindbreak, but that was far from reality. Juvia was simply being Juvia. Just one kiss was enough for her to imagine everything, from how many children they would have, to what their tombstones would say when they were buried together.
Allen worried that the day he actually showed her love, she might suffer a heart attack.
He left the room and headed to the dining hall in high spirits. There, Lucy was writing her novel while waiting for breakfast, and Erza was maintaining a sword as if it were her most precious possession. It was no surprise, since that sword had been forged by Allen, and she cherished it almost as much as the ring or pendant he had given her before.
Allen smiled, happy that Erza treasured it. All this was thanks to Roubaul's knowledge. With it, his skill as a magical craftsman and blacksmith had greatly improved. If Allen wanted, he could even create a Nirvana himself, though he would never do so—such magic, far from interesting him, was far too problematic.
Allen recalled what had happened in the Chat when the subject of Nirvana came up.
At that time, a heated debate broke out in the Chat over its moral and ethical implications, and it ended badly.
Especially among the heroes.
---
(Flashback)
– Chat Records –
Tony – If you could create a Nirvana in our world, maybe you could achieve world peace.
Tony hadn't been serious, but that comment triggered a fierce discussion.
Superman – That's simply immoral. How can you even consider brainwashing criminals?
Thor – Wait, think about it. Locking criminals away for life, or just giving them a new "perspective"—isn't that better?
Wade – Ooh, Thor just stepped on a landmine.
The Emperor – I don't see a problem with its use. Sometimes you have to accept there are no happy endings, and for survival, sacrifices must be made...
Raven – Sounds Machiavellian, but many villains are mad scientists trying to destroy the world. If they could use that knowledge for the greater good...
Kara – Raven, you can't even consider that! It's not right! Regardless of whether they're criminals, performing a lobotomy on them is sick...
Raven – I'm only talking about possibilities. Don't close your mind. Some will never repent. Just look at my father—constantly trying to devour my soul and destroy the world. If I could change him, even by force, it would be one less threat...
Kara couldn't refute that point...
Batman – And who decides which criminals deserve to lose their will, their ego, their "self"? Who decides who deserves to die? Because from an objective standpoint, they do die once their original "self" is gone.
Raven – I was just saying...
Donna – Don't worry, Raven. You're not wrong. Some villains are so evil that expecting them to regret their crimes is impossible. Tell me, Dark Knight, how many times have you captured the Joker, and how many times has he escaped just to kill again?
Carol (Cap Marvel) – I've seen the world, and there are monsters everywhere—even dictators in plain sight. But I don't see the Man of Steel or the Dark Knight taking them down. I suppose catching thieves makes you feel good at night.
Batman – ... the moment someone feels like a god and acts as one, this will all turn into a disaster... I'm just a man, not a cosmic goddess nobody wants.
Carol (Cap Marvel) – Huh?!
Barbara (Batgirl) – Donna, Carol, we're not perfect. We try to be heroes within our limits, but we can't take on all the burden. That's what the justice system is for.
Poison Ivy – That same system that's let bastards like Penguin and Bane out more than once? Tough job, heroes~
Charles - If you give man the ability to modify man it will only end very badly, I know, this power contaminates the soul.
Annie - I lived manipulated all my life, I don't want to do that to others.
Hulk – Hulk not understand. Hulk smash bad people, but bad people always come back, and Hulk smash again. No end!
Gwen – No, none of our worlds are ready for something like Nirvana. We can't take that responsibility. Nobody can. And if we leave it to the government, it'll just become a weapon.
Nick – Miss Gwen, sorry to interrupt, but I've handled every kind of situation in my life, face to face with assassins, terrorists, psychopaths, and dictators. Maybe we should look for a cure for "evil," but with Nirvana, the world could be better. Of course, it would have to be managed by a council, with each use voted on by capable and impartial people.
Natasha – Oh, Director, and who would handle that? SHIELD?
Nick – Agent, don't forget whose side you're on...
Natasha – On Allen's side. I won't let you force him to create some vile weapon that he'll have to carry on his conscience later because of what you provoke!
Maria – Calm down, Natasha. We're just talking about possibilities. I don't think Allen would agree to make a Nirvana for our world.
Superman – That's not the point. What kind of world would you create if you started brainwashing people?
Hawkeye – I don't usually speak up, but who said anything about using it on people?
Captain A. – Are you implying they're not people? That's disappointing, Clint...
Tony – Cap, what about Hydra? Did they ever show mercy? Did they ever show the slightest remorse?
Captain A. – ... I didn't think you'd see it that way, Tony...
Tony – And I didn't think you would, Captain Rogers...
MJ – Calm down, both of you. Don't let this end in a fight. For starters, what's the point? Nirvana doesn't exist, not in our worlds. And Allen wouldn't create something like that—not just because of the implications, but because it doesn't belong to our worlds, and it could cause a severe chain reaction.
Felicia – MJ's right. Even the potions circulating under Emma are strictly regulated so they don't disrupt the world.
Tony – ...
Captain A. – ...
Thor – ...
Raven – ...
Superman – ...
Batman – ...
Kara – ...
Diana – ...
Carol – ...
Rick – Oh, this smells like Civil War hahaha burp
Angélica (Gil) – Aren't you going to stop them, Allen?
"That's enough. I can't believe this fight is happening here. First of all, Nirvana doesn't even exist anymore—I destroyed it..."
Carol – But you could create another one, couldn't you?
Allen didn't want to answer that. Of course, he could. He could do many things. In fact, with his power once he left this world, and what he would gain from Lucifer, forcing world peace wouldn't even be a problem. But just thinking about it gave him chills. No, he didn't want to. He couldn't. He felt that if he started doing things like that, he would stop being human.
"I can't. I don't know what I'd become, and none of you want that either..."
The world could accept Allen only because, despite his terrifying power, he was still just a young man. Perhaps a little eccentric, sometimes proud, womanizing—but at the end of the day, mundane. Allen had always been human, both in mindset and actions. If at some point that were to change and he assumed the role of... god? What would happen to the world?
Nick felt a chill. And not just him—everyone did. They hadn't realized they were pushing Allen toward a position nobody wanted him to take. Except for the most extreme fanatics, those who already adored him to the point of prayer.
(A/N: In the past, Allen's cult was mentioned, which, little by little, seems to be evolving into a religion. Allen denies its existence and any connection with them. To him, they're just people who can't accept that he's simply a young man. Very powerful, yes, but not someone who should be worshipped.)
(End of Flashback)
....
That day, the atmosphere in the Chat became heavy, and Allen didn't broadcast again for several days.
Leaving that problem behind, everything was peaceful.
Allen decided to have breakfast with the girls while the good news lifted his mood. The first thing he would do is connect the hotel with his other homes in different worlds. He would also start visiting his girls—this time with his real body.
He couldn't just abandon this world, but with the time differential, it would be like leaving for a normal week-long mission while still tending to his personal life.
"Master..." 2B entered the dining hall carrying breakfast for Allen. Behind her came Iraruga, laughing at the new maid (and prisoner), Sorano Agria.
Sorano felt deeply embarrassed and uncomfortable in her maid outfit, but still carried two plates and set them down in front of Erza and Lucy.
"Oh, you look good~" Lucy teased.
"Thanks. Who would've thought you'd look so cute despite being such a bad girl..." Lucy said with an amused smile.
"..." Sorano bit her tongue to keep from swearing, glaring resentfully at Allen.
'Why me?' Allen was dumbfounded. He hadn't said a word, and yet Sorano's anger was aimed straight at him. Even with all his vast experience with women, he still couldn't fully understand them.
Later that day, Allen had to travel to the Magic Council to make his report. While defeating Oración Seis was a great achievement, the council seemed uneasy upon realizing the power of Fairy Tail, since they hadn't even needed half their members to bring down a pillar of the Baram Alliance.
Allen returned without paying much attention to the worries of that group of bitter old men.
With Makarov, there was no argument about how it all ended.
Although Makarov would have done things differently—mainly to maintain a close relationship with the other guilds whose masters were his old friends—the current master of Fairy Tail was Allen. He couldn't question every decision, and if he had wanted to, it would have been better never to have resigned in the first place.
The following days were calmer. Allen returned to his home in Marvel and was practically attacked by a group of anxious girls who didn't let him go for what amounted to a week. He was thankful that his body outside of the Fairy Tail world had nearly unlimited stamina.
The next day, it was the same in "Invincible." Then it was Bleach with Yoruichi, who tried to compete with Unohana—a competition Allen happily approved of. In The Boys, things were calmer with Annie and Kimiko, though Maeve seemed quite anxious, almost as if she hoped to get pregnant.
Allen also visited some of his lovers like Emma F, Emma W, and Megan, and even made time to see his mother-in-law, Hippolyta.
He also went to Olympus to see Hestia, Artemis, and Athena. He didn't have any romantic relationship with them—yet—but it was obvious that Hestia felt something for him, and Athena treated him far better than anyone else.
Finally, Allen also decided to see Aphrodite. This woman had become his most faithful admirer—obsessive to the point of madness. There was a time when Allen had feared her, but now he was so strong that not even this goddess posed a threat, so he no longer felt reluctant to meet her.
The woman awaited him, covered in chocolate, on a bed strewn with divine flower petals. Allen didn't run and accepted the invitation...
In DC World, he also visited his secretary, Poison Ivy, and his personal psychologist, Harleen. Nothing happened with the latter, though she was noticeably embarrassed speaking to him, as if she thought he might devour her at any moment. Harleen was identical to Harley, and considering she called him "Daddy," maybe she did feel in danger.
Allen also appreciated the system's ability to isolate time in certain places. Thanks to this, Allen never lacked time and dedicated days, even weeks to each girl. Of course, there were not only relations in bed, but talking, training if necessary, dating, or just cuddling on the couch watching a movie.
Allen didn't visit HP, Record of Ragnarok, or Kung-fu Panda. On one hand, there was the issue of time discrepancy, and barely any time had passed in those worlds. On the other hand, he had no lovers in Kung-fu Panda or HP who would demand he go there.
Once his long routine was completed, Allen returned to Fairy Tail, feeling as though a month had passed when in reality only a couple of days had gone by.
....
Allen lay down on his sofa with Virgo massaging his legs while Sorano worked on his shoulders.
[Good work... having a harem is pretty complicated~]
'Please don't start...' Allen wasn't going to blame his girlfriends. He often spent a lot of time away, so if he had to spend an entire year making it up to them, he would do it without complaint.
"I'm glad you're relaxed..."
"...!"
Allen opened his eyes upon hearing the voice of someone he didn't like. When he did, he realized time had stopped and only he could move.
Even his system wasn't responding...
He only knew one person capable of affecting even his system.
"Lucifer..."
In front of Allen, a man in a white suit sat down, holding a glass of wine.
"Hello, my dear Allen, how have you been?"
"Terrible, thanks to you..."
Allen couldn't hide his hostility, even beginning to release the Dunamis Demiurgos from his soul.
Lucifer wasn't surprised but kept silent for a moment before continuing.
"I don't intend to bother you now, I just came to tell you one thing..."
Allen began to calm down. Lucifer could be many things, but he rarely lied—unlike other Lucifers, or Satans—because he didn't need to. He was simply so powerful that he could say whatever he wanted and anyone would have to swallow his words.
"What do you want?" Allen asked with a frown.
"This world is enormous, and so is its story. Of course, I didn't expect you to complete the entire plot in a single act. If I had to estimate, I'd say you've finished about a fifth of the story, but honestly, this arc dragged on quite a bit..." Lucifer smiled. "So I just wanted to let you know that I'd like to change the setting, you know, to keep myself entertained. Too much magic lore isn't good—switching things up wouldn't hurt. We can always come back later~."
"Huh?!"
A vein bulged on Allen's forehead as his power shook the universe. Since Lucifer was in this world, the contract was temporarily on pause, allowing Allen to use all his power, along with the Fragment of "Dunamis Demiurgos" and what he had gathered of "The Fire of Will."
Faced with such a massive power that could collapse the world, Lucifer smiled without the slightest hint of fear.
"Allen, do you forget what happened last time?" Lucifer smiled in amusement.
"I don't forget! Not for a single second of my life will I forget—until I can return to you what you did to my women!"
"How scary," Lucifer said, raising his hands, still smiling. Then he grew serious, releasing his own power. The world trembled even more, cracks appearing in space-time. "That's right, Allen. Don't forget—we aren't allies. You hate me, and I see you as my entertainment. That's what we are..."
"..." Allen calmed himself a little upon realizing the world was in danger. Even now, Sorano and Virgo—frozen like statues—were about to break apart just from being there.
Lucifer narrowed his eyes. "What are you going to do, Walker? Do you want a second round? Do you want to annihilate this world in the process?"
Allen clenched his teeth so hard his gums bled, but even so, he backed down, restraining his power.
Lucifer nodded and did the same. "Good choice. You have no idea how privileged you are to have 'options' in front of me..."
"Just tell me where you're sending me. Do you want me to travel to the Wild West and be a gunslinger with Billy the Kid? Do you want me to go to some post-apocalyptic future like Fallout? Do you want me to drink tea with Yujiro Hanma?!" Allen growled, clearly unsatisfied.
"Relax, I'm not a monster. I'll give you a small break—use it wisely..."
"You're disgusting..."
"Do you know you're the only person who's ever told me that and hasn't suffered consequences?"
"..."
Lucifer stood, but before leaving, extended his hand, and a scarlet hypercube appeared.
"What's this?" Allen asked, preparing himself in case it was an attack.
"Did you forget? When you accepted being the master of Fairy Tail, I promised you half of the Fragment of my power in this world. It even took me some time to gather it myself..."
'Liar...' Allen thought with disdain. Anyone would know that if this Lucifer wished, he could recover that power with a snap of his fingers.
Even knowing he was lying, Allen didn't reject it. After all, this was why he was risking himself against the devil.
Once in his hands, the cube was absorbed into his body.
Boom!
Huh?
Allen gasped as this power became his without resistance. But leaving that aside, the sheer amount of power was so great it left him breathless.
'This was only half a fragment?!'
Allen looked at Lucifer in disbelief. Just how damn powerful was this monster?!
Lucifer seemed satisfied with leaving Allen speechless and turned around.
"Stay here a few days, then go back to your world and spend some time there. But don't get too comfortable—once I decide which world I want to see, I'll call you... Though leaving it up to chance is also interesting..."
Lucifer vanished, leaving the place behind.
Allen sat down, powerless. He was about to restore time to normal, but the world was still damaged, so, taking advantage of being able to use his power, he snapped his fingers. The Fire of Will restored the world instantly, as if nothing had happened.
"Master?" Virgo asked, sensing Allen's mood had soured when just a moment ago he had been so happy.
"It's nothing..."
"... " Virgo, being a maid devoted to her master at the same level as 2B, didn't believe him. Without being asked, she climbed onto his lap and leaned in close. "This humble maid doesn't know what worries might trouble her master, but she can serve with all her heart to help him bear them."
Allen smiled and ruffled Virgo's hair. Before she could complain, he also gave her a kiss that left her paralyzed—and Sorano, behind her, in shock.
"Thank you..."
Virgo blushed, losing her usual expressionless demeanor.
"It's nothing, my master~"
Allen found her cute, so he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his arms.
"Now that I think about it, isn't it a maid's duty to serve her young master?"
Seeing Allen's devouring gaze, Virgo grew even more embarrassed. Though she often acted perverted, nobody ever paid attention to it, and now that, for the first time, she had actually managed to "seduce" her master, she didn't know what to do.
"I... I... y-yes..."
Sorano cursed Allen. This bastard had brought her to this place just for something so indecent.
