Multiverse: The Forced Exorcist

As vast warp energy flooded the world, pure chaotic and distorted power began transforming the area.

The pitch-black night sky—

Warped by psychic energy—turned into a bizarre aurora-like scene. The warp pathway expanded continuously, forming a dimensional rift.

As the creator of this domain—

The warpstorm didn't affect Shirakawa at all. He stood in the tide of psychic energy, observing the changes around him.

To him, the Apocalypse World held no special meaning. Ravaged by the undead virus, its survivors were in despair.

So using this area as a test site to turn it into a chaotic domain—

The veil between two worlds began to fade. The space here overlapped, and the real world would soon be engulfed by warp tides.

With dimensional perception—

He could see strange, surreal sights, like the place had been corrupted by Cthulhu-like forces. Yet those entering wouldn't feel anything was wrong.

"All of warp space is mine. Even this raw energy…"

"It likely carries complex emotions. Any life form entering this area should have their soul slowly corrupted by my authority."

"…"

The warpstorm engulfed the entire street.

Shirakawa glanced around. Though the area had been consumed and turned into a chaotic domain, it still looked like a normal city.

The most obvious change—

Was that the surrounding greenery had grown wildly under the nourishment of warp energy, reaching exaggerated, twisted sizes.

They looked strange and grotesque—

Yet held an eerie allure.

There wasn't direct lethality, but the most terrifying part was the subtle change in soul and faith. The corruption could silently shift allegiances.

If one's willpower wasn't strong enough—

They could be corrupted the moment they entered the chaotic domain.

"That should be enough."

He didn't linger further.

Those whose souls were deeply corrupted would become the first basic believers of the Church of Pleasure. What kind of power boost they might gain—

Shirakawa wasn't entirely sure yet.

But this helped him better understand the nature of the [Warpstorm] skill and his various divine authorities. It wasn't suited for direct combat.

"A bit abstract," he muttered.

Of course—

That applied to the nature of the power. The authority of Slaanesh-like divinity was more about corruption than raw strength.

If he had to force it into a combat context—

He could corrupt a targeted attack with psychic energy and then detonate it with Explosion Magic. The difference between mana and warp energy…

Might be strong enough to trigger nuclear-level devastation!

Shirakawa shook his head.

Since Saeko, Shizuka, and the others were still in Sub Dimension, he vanished from the spot and reappeared inside the palace.

Seated again upon the golden throne.

His consciousness swept through the entire warp space and quickly located the girls, who were exploring the structures around the Palace of Pleasure.

He wasn't in a rush to go to another world.

For now, they'd train inside the floating tower of Aincrad until their levels increased. Once their power was high enough—

"It's about time."

Shirakawa vanished from the golden throne again and appeared before the women. Though the Sub Dimension had no concept of time, a black sun still hung overhead.

With a thought—

Night instantly fell over the Sub Dimension.

As the creator of this realm, Shirakawa transported Saeko, Shizuka, and the others to the Starting Town of the original SAO world. The players had been forcefully logged out.

But the NPCs remained.

Moreover with the virtual game world now transformed into real dimension, those NPCs no longer existed as digital data. They had condensed energy and become real individuals.

True residents of the Sub Dimension!

Even without deliberately fostering belief, the very existence of warp energy and Sub Dimension itself belonged to Shirakawa.

Everything would be loyal to the god.

In a more accurate sense, Sub Dimension residents were given independent thought. But if any refused to be loyal—they'd simply be remade.

As Shirakawa led Saeko, Shizuka, and the others through the Starting Town, the streets were quiet at night.

A medieval European town with a gaming aesthetic.

Bathed in moonlight, it had a unique beauty. For the Chosen of Pleasure, Shirakawa explained patiently.

"This is the Starting Town."

"If you want convenience while living in Sub Dimension, you can stay here. Or you can reside in the Palace of Pleasure."

"As for what comes next—"

He paused slightly, then pointed toward the distant floating tower of Aincrad and casually explained

"That's the floating tower—Aincrad."

"Anyway..."

"Improving your strength is up to you."

His gaze swept across the various expressions on the girls' faces. Only at the end did he notice Alice, who had followed them into the subspace.

Everyone present had already become Chosen of Pleasure and switched to adventurers, with room for growth.

But Alice… had entered this place as an ordinary person.

Giving her the status of a chosen of the God of Pleasure… um, putting aside the most crucial issue for now, doesn't this count as child labor?

"…"

"Shirakawa-sama, so we don't need to go back to our original world anymore?"

Saya blinked as she looked around at the otherworldly style of SAO. Her eyes were full of curiosity as she asked about their next steps.

Staying in the original world was really boring. No TV, no phone signal, fighting zombies was dull, basically just steamrolling in teams.

Now, entering a brand-new subspace, she was filled with curiosity about what lay ahead. And Shirakawa had said before—once their level reached a certain standard, they could even visit other worlds!

"Pretty much."

Shirakawa responded without hesitation. Unless someone truly had no interest in improving their strength, returning them to the real world would be no problem. They could even go back to living a normal life.

As the creator of this subspace, he was fully aware of all the rules, and he knew the changes monsters would undergo once SAO was reconstructed in the real world.

Even though safety wasn't an issue, he still explained, "The monsters in Aincrad are condensed from warp energy. They'll be a bit stronger overall. After defeating them, you'll absorb pure warp energy, which helps improve your strength."

"…"

The girls, who had still been in relatively cheerful moods, suddenly turned serious upon hearing that. Becoming adventurers was already a huge blessing. Now, being brought into a divine subspace created by a god—this represented absolute trust.

Even though they hadn't been with the team long.

Rika had just wanted to say something.

"Time's almost up..."

"Let's head to the Palace of Pleasure and rest first!"

"…"

Her vision shifted rapidly, returning them directly to the Palace of Pleasure. Looking at Shirakawa's calm expression, her next thought made her cheeks flush instantly.

Rika really wanted to ask—was this "rest" actually just rest? Or was it going to be another group orgy?
