The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

"Wow, Wally, it looks like you've made a lot of new friends in places I don't know about. Could you introduce them to me?"

"This guy is the descendant of Sun Wukong. To be more precise, he is a monkey demon who inherited Sun Wukong's power. After all, Sun Wukong is a monk."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be a descendant of the Fighting Buddha. But I didn't expect you to join the 'Misfortune Group' too. Your boss has run away, and the future of your organization is not good. Vali, since you've come back now, I can forgive you. After all, things haven't reached a point of no return yet."

"I'm not interested. It's impossible to have a good time playing with you."

"That's a shame. What about you? The second generation demon monkey."

Hearing Azazel's words, the man smiled indifferently.

"Unlike the first generation who cultivated to become a Buddha, I simply wish to live a free and unfettered life. My name is Monkey King. Please guide me."

"Hmm... You're so polite, you're a bit unlike that lawless Monkey King."

"Hahaha, a lot of people have said that. But my master said I'm quite like him. I was also a polite and good monkey before he became his apprentice."

The man named Meihou smiled and took out a long stick from somewhere. He turned the stick around a few times and then stabbed it into the ground.

"Hmm? What's going on—"

"Are you underestimating our three leaders a bit too much? No, that's not right. Actually, with the magical movement technique that monkey taught you, like the Somersault Cloud, you might actually be able to ignore the barrier we set up and escape. But unfortunately, we have an out-of-character Red Dragon Emperor here."

Azazel approached with a smile. It was indeed Koya's divine domain that had prevented the Monkey Kings from leaving. Did he really think his divine domain was just for show? He could come and go as he pleased? He could even interrupt the Demon King's teleportation, let alone a high-ranking demon like Monkey King. However, Azazel didn't attack Vali or Monkey King. Instead, he retracted his forbidden hand, [Golden Dragon Lord], unfurled his fallen angel wings, and flew back to the conference room in the new teaching building.

He came at the right time, because Lin Fei had already quietly sneaked out of the conference room and was about to throw the props in his hand into the conference room and run away, but his system seemed to have forgotten something. It blocked the magic detection but forgot the technological shielding. After Grayfia learned the news, she immediately projected Lin Fei's every move onto the big screen through the computer in the conference room.

Lin Fei had no idea that his every move had been captured by the cameras in the corridor. As a person who traveled through the technological age, he should have understood the existence of technology better than anyone else present. But perhaps because he had lived in this world for too long, he was accustomed to button-type mobile phones, big-headed computers, technology that had not yet developed, and magic that was more convenient and magical than technology. He completely forgot that there was such a thing as surveillance in the teaching building.

When Lin Fei was about to unsafe the item in his hand and throw it into the conference room, Sirzechs made a direct move, and the power of destruction completely enveloped the item that had not yet been activated. The item that Lin Fei had high hopes for turned into nothingness before it could take effect.

[Tsk tsk tsk, this system is terrible. The props I created were destroyed so easily.]

Koya wasted no time. The Holy Sword of Salvation, enveloped in layers of destructive power, plunged into Lin Fei's heart. Considering Lin Fei's unique circumstances, Koya chose the most cautious approach. It so happened that Mr. Lin Fei miraculously met one of the conditions for the Holy Sword's release. Perhaps he himself was unaware, but his actions were indeed destroying the world. Under the combined stranglehold of the Holy Sword and the power of destruction—the time traveler Lin Fei died.

The task of killing the traverser was not difficult compared to the several emergency tasks that Koya had experienced, but the particularity of the individual also made this task full of uncertainty. Fortunately, the task was finally completed.

Congratulations on completing your mission. I've also successfully captured this harem system. It's incredibly crude, and I can tell you weren't serious about studying in school. However, you'll need to stay in this world for a few days. I need to dissect this illegal system and return the world's origins to it.

"Got it. Remind me when you get back."

[Of course. By the way, there's no reward for this time traveler mission, but you can gain the world's favor. So, your future visits to this world will be just like the apocalyptic world; you can come here whenever you want.]

'fine.'

After Lin Fei's death, a lot of things happened during the time Keya was chatting with the system.

Katraya is sealed again by Seraflor, Vali and Monkey King forcibly break the barrier and escape, and Michael successfully finds the vampire who stopped time.

Koya didn't participate in the subsequent cleanup work. He chatted with his friends in the conference room chat group for a while. By the time he left the conference room and headed for the playground, the three parties had almost finished their work. The magician's body had disappeared from the playground. The demons seemed to have sent in a construction team, which was repairing the damaged buildings at an incredible speed. Michael, Sirzechs, and Azazel were directing the work on the playground, while Gabriel and Seraph chatted with Rias and Sona nearby.

Koya looked at the two obvious teams and chose Rias and her team's side without hesitation.

When he brought Ophis to Rias, he also heard what they were talking about. Rias was really asking Gabriel for a privilege, a privilege that would allow Asia, as a demon, not to be harmed when praying.

"No problem, if it's just a special case, there's a way. But Rias, you have to make sure Asia doesn't get close to the Vatican headquarters. If the people there knew that a demon didn't show any abnormalities after praying, it would be very troublesome."

"I see."

"Well, I'll tell Michael about this when I get back. A demon that prays to God... That's quite interesting."

Gabrielle was a very gentle angel, feeling guilty about Asia's plight, so when Rias asked, she agreed without hesitation. Elsewhere, the three leaders seemed to have finished their respective tasks and walked over. Azazel put his arm around Koya's shoulders without a second thought and asked him curiously.

"Koya, what are you pursuing?"

"Your question is a bit abrupt."

"Well, after all, the power of a divine weapon is driven by desire, so I'm curious about what your desire is that makes you so strong."

"But I'm not powerful because of the artifact."

"My friend, you possess a profound inner desire, and you are the most steadfast of all my hosts. You are now fully capable of harnessing the full power of the artifact, so I'm curious as to what your desires are that could lead you to such unwavering determination."

"Look, even Ddraig said so. Koya, why don't you tell me what's going on?"

Azazel was very pleased with Ddraig's support, and after hearing Ddraig's words, Koya subconsciously began to think about why he went to Orario in the first place...what his original idea was.

"I want to be a hero."

"what?"

"It's not a particularly great reason. I initially became an adventurer because I felt I wasn't worthy of the person I loved. My goal at the time was to become a hero worthy of the person I loved. Hero is a very prestigious title in our place."

"...Hahaha, interesting, this is the funniest desire I've ever heard. So, Koya, do you think you're a hero now?"

"Probably not yet. I still need to keep working hard."

Chapter 226: High School DxD: Return Home

After this farce, Sirzechs, Michael, and Azazel returned to the conference room and signed a peace agreement. This officially ended the war between the three tribes. Fighting between the three factions was forbidden, and any fighting would be severely punished by all three parties.

All three parties to the agreement were very happy, but relatively speaking, most of the forces other than them were not so happy. After all, if the three most powerful forces stopped fighting among themselves, wouldn't the small forces like them be the ones who would suffer?

However, the opinions of those small forces were of no importance to Sirzechs and his men. After signing the agreement, Sirzechs took Lin Fei's body back to Hell, while Michael went to the Nordic Aesir to inform them of the imminent attack by the Scourge, and Azazel stayed in Juwang Town.

·Dividing line·

It was three days after the peace agreement was signed. Last night, Koya, Xenovia, and Irina had played a delightful three-person match. After becoming an angel and a fallen angel, their stamina had increased significantly. Now, it wasn't their bodies that limited their movement, but time. From the moment they entered the room until sunrise, the three of them kept exercising non-stop, and Xenovia and Irina were completely inebriated. Finally, Grayfia entered the room and forced the three of them to stop.

Grayfia calmly pulled Koya up from the bed and dressed him. In the past few days, Koya had become accustomed to Grayfia's service, so it was no surprise that Koya extended an invitation to Grayfia two days ago. As for the debt, Orpheus had been packed up and taken away. It was better to have too much debt than to be burdened. At worst, he could live in the dungeon for a month. With Koya's current strength, it was easy to pay off the system debt in a month.

However, Grayfia still did not accept Koya's invitation until now. When Grayfia was helping Koya straighten his collar, Koya extended the invitation for the third time.

"Grayfia, have you decided whether you want to go back with me?"

"Well, I've already explained the family affairs, and Lord Sirzechs has agreed to my departure."

"Oh, okay, then you can take the test again... huh? You promise?"

Grayfia's agreement caught Koya off guard. He thought Grayfia would need to think about it for a while. The situation was somewhat different from that of Xenovia, Irina and the others. Grayfia was not only a top-tier fighter among the demons, but her family had also been supported by her because they defected from the old Demon King's faction and had a bad background. It could be said that there were many obstacles for Grayfia to abandon everything here and leave with Koya, so Koya even felt that there was no hope. He did not expect Grayfia to agree so quickly.

"Koya, you underestimate the power you possess. You and Ophis are enough to make any force bow to you."

Grayfia didn't say anything more. She was willing to leave with Koya, and even if she didn't, the demons would try every possible means to force her to do so. However, leaving with Koya was actually a good thing. Because of her status, the demons had always been wary of Grayfia. Her strength was truly that of a Demon King, and in the eyes of some demons, she was a time bomb ready to explode at any moment.

After receiving Grayfia's affirmative reply, Koya was in a good mood and ate a few more bowls of rice for breakfast. After Rias went to school, Koya returned to his room, hugged the sleeping Xenovia and Irina in his arms on the big bed that had become dry again, and opened the chat group. When Koya was free these days, he would open the chat group to chat with everyone.

Ji Zi: "I never thought the Third Honkai would break out in the Far East. Luckily I got this system, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to resolve this situation."

Doctor: "What are you going to do with this Herrscher? Lock him up?"

Himeko: "After all, Mei Raiden is just a high school student, and she's back to normal now. The sins committed by a Herrscher shouldn't be forced upon a child, so Theresa and I decided to plant a bomb in Mei Raiden's heart. If she can control her power and stop becoming a Herrscher, the bomb will be safe. If she experiences any signs of becoming a Herrscher, the bomb will explode."

In the world of collapse, after several rounds of physical fitness feedback and ability feedback, Ji Zi's strength has far exceeded that of ordinary S-level Valkyries. Even Theresa holding Judas is not her opponent. According to Theresa, Ji Zi's current strength may be able to compete with Yulan Dale for the title of the first Valkyrie of Destiny.

With such a strong power as a support, most of the things happening in the Honkai World can be handled by Jizi herself, without Koya's help. So Jizi is obviously the first person to have a subsystem, but now there is no progress with Koya... Is this another kind of lack of luck with men?

Jizi: "I don't have any major problems here. How are you doing over there, Doctor? Managing a city alone must be tiring, right?"

Doctor [Yeah... I originally thought Kal'tsit could help me, but it turns out that old lynx has all her talents focused on research. I finally understand why Kal's and the others looked at me like I'd found a savior when I first arrived in Rhodes Island. But we have a lot of talent here at Rhodes Island, and some operators have management talents, but they still need some training. I think I'll be able to do it much more easily after a while.]

Kirisu Mafuyu: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor. Rebuilding the city and maintaining order is indeed a very troublesome task. Our shelter at the foot of the mountain has also become quite troublesome as it has grown. Thankfully, we have Hinagiku and Kaguya, but we're still short on technicians... All the survivors we've rescued are women, so many technical positions are clearly in need of retraining."

Shirona: "Well, it's a pity that this chat group can't send things. I'll definitely send you some elf buildings, electricity, food, and water. That will solve the problem."

Keqing: [Stop talking! I'm so envious! Why are the Pokémons over there so cute and useful, Shirona, while I'm only dealing with destructive monsters! That slime factory the doctor proposed hasn't even been built yet. It's so hard on me!]

Everyone in the chat group was chatting animatedly. Although chat groups had many limitations, the spread of knowledge didn't require too many intermediaries. So, at the suggestion of her group members, Keqing had launched a major infrastructure project for Liyue, including wind power generation, tidal power generation, and the slime factory, which she had high hopes for. While both the wind and tidal power stations were progressing steadily, the slime factory was struggling.

Koya: "Keqing, why don't you put that slime factory aside for now? Finish the wind farm and tidal power plant first, then make things like the lighting. You have to take things one step at a time."

Keqing: "Alas, this is all I can do. Speaking of which, Koya, why don't you develop technology in Orario? According to what Manfuyu and the others said, your world is still in the Middle Ages, so technology would be much more convenient."

Koya: [You can, but it's not necessary. First of all, our identities are different. I'm just a member of the Hestia Familia. I don't need to worry about the development of Orario. The few generators we brought back from Manfuyu and the others' world are more than enough for our Familia's internal use.]

Keqing [That's right.]

Doctor [Keya, do you have time recently? I have an emergency here!]

Koya [There is time, but what is it? ]

Doctor [Recently, many Sarkaz mercenaries have learned of Amiya's establishment of an infected city. It's unknown where these mercenaries got the news, but they learned that Amiya was chosen by Princess Theresa to be the next Demon King. This group of mercenaries has flocked to Chernobog. As their numbers grow, Rhodes Island is beginning to feel the pressure.]

Koya: [Then what's the point of me going there?]

Doctor: "You just need to reveal your true form and fly over Chernobog. Those mercenaries aren't the real problem. The real problem is the spies who are hiding among the mercenaries and trying to gather information. It's time for you to show yourself to them."

Koya [Is this necessary?]

Doctor: [That's too much! Terra is far from peaceful right now. Every place feels like a bomb poised to explode at any moment. The power you displayed when forcing Chernobog to stop directly dragged Rhodes Island into the center of the storm. If you don't show your presence, Rhodes Island will definitely explode.]

Jizi: "Doctor, you're not telling the truth. You're picking on Koya for not hanging out in the group chat more often, aren't you? We all know Rhodes Island's current situation isn't solely due to Koya. There's the Demon King of the Sarkaz, Aslan and Drake from Victoria, the Yearlings from the Flame Nation, the Deep Sea Hunters—Rhodes Island is truly overflowing with talent."

Doctor [Ah... this... these are all taken in by Kal'tsit, I don't know anything! ]

Koya: "I understand. I'll go to your place after I get back from Rias's place and meet Hestia and the others."

Doctor: "That's great! The operators are planning a trip to Dosoles to relax and unwind. You can come along. It will make my life much easier if you can divert some of those spies away from here."

Koya [So you're calling me to play! ]

Even before Koya returned from Rias's visit, his trip to Terra was already booked. However, since this trip to Terra wasn't a mission world, time would flow normally. He needed to report back to Hestia first.

Just as Koya was thinking about how to explain to Hestia why he brought so many girls back, Xenovia and Irina were awakened by Koya's restless hand movements. Xenovia turned over and climbed on Koya, then rubbed Koya's chin with her hair like a kitten, while Irina hugged Koya's arms in her arms, clamped his restless palms with her legs, and closed her eyes in a daze.

"Are you awake? Do you want to go get breakfast?"

"No, I don't feel hungry much after reincarnation. According to Master Gabriel, angels can maintain their body's energy loss by absorbing light. I, a fallen angel, also have this ability."

"Come to think of it, I haven't asked you yet, what caused you to fall?"

"I wasn't an angel from the beginning. Like Irina said, my faith is quite strange. After reincarnation, Irina and I were destined to be by your side, so Michael told us that the gods were dead. My first reaction wasn't to wonder what our faith meant after the gods died. Instead, I thought, since my faith was gone, I might as well have a child with you and live with you. That thought led to my downfall."

Xenovia told Koya the causes and consequences of her fall without any psychological burden. She was quite open-minded about it and did not have any negative emotions because of her fall. It would be better to say that someone like her who could face her desires directly was really suitable to be a fallen angel.

"Keya~~I want to have a baby~~~"

"Okay."

A round of battle started here. Xenovia undressed Koya as quickly as possible, and Irina was forced to join the battle in a daze. The battle lasted until noon. Xenovia and Irina were filled with cream and turned into puffs. In order to increase the chance of pregnancy, Xenovia even used magic to seal her lower body, which made Irina look shy.

When the three of them arrived at the restaurant, Grayfia had already prepared lunch for them, and Ophis was already sitting at the table enjoying a delicious steak.

"Well, you've had a lot of fun these past few days, haven't you? Okay, I've finished my follow-up work here. You can leave with your girlfriends anytime. You know the process. I'm going to rest now. I didn't expect this time traveler to have been traveling for over a decade. This guy is really cautious."

While Koya was having lunch, the system brought him good news. He immediately told Grayfia and the others about it. It just so happened that the girls Koya wanted to take away were in the restaurant.

"I don't want to leave..."

"Well, can you tell me why?"

"I want to go home. It's comfortable and quiet there. I like it there."

"Does Orpheus have to live in that house?"

"..."

Koya's words made Orpheus silent. She suddenly found that the home occupied by the Great Red did not seem to have much appeal to her. Rather, the life here these days was much more comfortable than that home with nothing. She liked it here very much.

Koya patiently waited for Orpheus's reply. Unlike Xenovia and the others, Orpheus's binding with him was an accident, so he naturally had to respect Orpheus's thoughts. If Orpheus refused, he could stay in this world for a while to enlighten her. If she really didn't want to leave, Koya would also ask the system to release the contract between him and Orpheus, even if the price was to lose the infinite power given by Orpheus.

Fortunately, Ophis's obsession with home was more like an obsession. After being enlightened by Koya, she seemed to feel that the place where she lived was no longer so important. She also lived comfortably with Koya.

"I, I'll go with you!"

Chapter 227: Mistakes in the Earth: Party after Return

After Rias returned from school, Koya said goodbye to her. While it was okay to say this in the group chat, after staying at someone's house for so long, it seemed a bit unreasonable to take their maid away without saying goodbye. Rias was slightly taken aback by the news of Koya's departure, but she quickly realized that Koya could always appear by her side if she wanted to, and she could always find him in the chat group. For her, it wasn't really a farewell.

But Akeno, Koneko, and Asia might be sad for a while~~

Just as Rias had expected, Koya had put a lot of effort into calming the three girls down. After so many days living under the same roof, the three girls had grown accustomed to Koya's presence. While they certainly weren't close friends at the moment, they were close friends, and parting with such a close friend was heartbreaking. Asia even cried, hugging Ophis. The girl had a close relationship with Ophis, spending her free time with him. Asia cared for the innocent Ophis like a sister.

In this family, besides Koya, Orpheus only cared about Asia. Now, seeing Asia's tearful face, he didn't want to leave anymore. After all, in terms of her mentality, Orpheus was similar to a child, and her ideas were often easily changed. However, after hearing Koya say that he could come back at any time, the emotions of the two calmed down a lot.

Finally, under the gazes of several people, Koya, Xenovia and the others disappeared in an instant.

·Dividing line·

Koya still remembered that before going to Rias's world, he had just had a sparring match with Ais. Because he was tired, he returned to his bedroom to rest. Now that he was back, it was naturally the same bedroom, no different at all from when he left.
