"What technique? And what's this Warrior Women Tribe? Is it a powerful race you encountered while traveling between worlds?"
"More or less. As for the name of this move… it's called Flying Dragon Heaven Breaker!"
Ryuji swung his fist toward Esdeath, unleashing an icy tornado that dragged the enormous vortex along with it.
Esdeath did not give up resisting. She continuously released countless cold air streams, attempting to freeze the surrounding space-time to block the giant tornado's assault.
But she failed.
The immense energy brought by the massive tornado instantly shattered her frozen space-time, injecting new energy into it. So, in just a moment, the tornado was right in front of her.
If she were struck by this tornado, which the power of two people and even even drew in a large amount of the world's natural forces, Esdeath wouldn't fare well. Her alluring body would be shredded into mincemeat in an instant, scattering through the air and being carried everywhere by this tornado.
But at that moment, Ryuji finally summoned his sword.
Not the Demon Slayer sword.
Instead, he drew the divine sword he had obtained in this world.
Because he needed to cut through the storm, the blade of heat was the most suitable sword.
His mind resonated with the version of himself who had once unleashed the Heavenly Fire Slash in front of the goblin portal. Scorching flames surged around his body, and the heat waves in the sky were rapidly extracted from the tornado by the fluctuations generated by Ryuji's resonance and then gathered around Ryuji.
The tornado's power was continuously drained, while Ryuji's power was constantly being strengthened.
When he sensed the delicate balance point, Ryuji opened his eyes.
Slash!
The blazing sword arc instantly tore apart everything before him. Whether it was the tornado or the cold air Esdeath was releasing, everything was blown into the sky by his attack.
The heatwave scorched the surrounding lawn, causing the barely surviving grass to instantly lose its life.
But Esdeath wasn't exactly unscathed.
The instant Ryuji's sword wind swept across her body, her clothes and boots disintegrated into dust and scattered into the air.
By Ryuji's calculations, what reached her should have felt no stronger than a summer breeze. Yet her clothing completely disintegrated, revealing her exquisite figure, her full, upright breasts, and the faint, pale silver-blue downy hair that clearly existed between her thighs.
Ryuji couldn't help but take another look.
Esdeath, however, showed no embarrassment at all. Instead, she happily looked at the raging storm around them and couldn't help but speak up.
"This power is truly terrifying."
High above, the tornado blown away by Ryuji's heatwave was rapidly gathering moisture from the sky as it drifted toward the distant mountains. Both Ryuji and Esdeath could tell that before long, that uninhabited mountain range would experience torrential rain or blizzards, potentially causing landslides, avalanches, or even floods.
This was absolutely not something their power alone could achieve. This was a natural disaster.
Though they could be considered humanoid natural disasters, and both could slightly influence the weather with their own power, but doing so required enormous time and effort, and even at full strength, they couldn't create phenomena on this scale.
However, both of them still had the capacity to fight again. They weren't going all-out, yet created a disaster beyond what their full power could achieve.
"Yeah. By drawing on this world's mana and mobilizing its elements, we can produce power thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than ourselves."
Ryuji nodded. The reason they were able do this was simple: they utilized the power of magic and the surrounding magical elements.
During his fight with Esdeath, both exploited magic to absorb surrounding mana and elements to varying degrees. Hence, as soon as they got serious, a natural disaster formed around them.
In other worlds without mana, such situations wouldn't occur.
As he spoke, Ryuji made a cloak using his gauntlet and draped it over Esdeath's shoulders.
Although the palace was filled only with women, with such a commotion, if the outer guards didn't arrive soon, they might as well quit their jobs.
Fortunately, there were no casualties. Ryuji had guided the power very carefully, so the surrounding palace structures weren't damaged, and none of the maids were injured.
Not for any special reason, simply because these maids were actually quite formidable fighters. Even though they looked soft and delicate, any one of his maids could easily beat the renowned mercenary Maia to the ground in a one-on-one fight, and most of them even possessed some level of magical.
That was also why Ryuji's palace did not employ male servants.
Esdeath pulled Ryuji's cloak tighter around herself and leaned into his chest with a blissful expression. When Ryuji grabbed her butt, she even deliberately pushed her hips toward his hand.
Ryuji could only feel helpless. Esdeath was great in almost every way, but her worldview and her destructive tendencies were really not something an ordinary person could handle…
Still, Esdeath voiced her confusion.
"But the mages of this world are incredibly weak. They're nowhere near our level."
At first, she had looked down on this world's mages because they were too weak.
But once she started practicing herself, she discovered that it wasn't like that at all. The magical elements weren't nearly as difficult to manipulate as the books described.
"Because…"
Ryuji extended his hand, watching the fire element continuously swirling on his palm as if it were a part of his body. Then he glanced at the distant mountain range, where dark storm clouds were gathering, and at the sow-goddess who was glaring at those clouds with an displeased expression, as if warning them not to get any closer. He sighed helplessly.
He certainly knew why he and Esdeath were so strong in this world.
"...We are loved by this world."
The world's blessing given to him by the sow-goddess might be ridiculous, and it was obviously a huge trap, but…
It was still a blessing, and still proof of the world's favor.
Having higher affinity with elements and mana.... was that really a bad thing?
"Loved by this world?"
Esdeath immediately thought of the sow-goddess and turned her head to look over. Sure enough, the sow-goddess was smiling at them, but her smile was filled with displeasure.
"I admit she's impressive, but I don't really believe she's the reason we have power like this."
She clenched her fist. She admitted the goddess had some skill, good discernment, extensive knowledge, and understood many things. Her earlier guess was correct; this woman was definitely not simple.
"Well, what you see is only the surface. In reality, she's the reincarnation of a Creator Goddess. But..."
Ryuji thought about what this goddess was like in the original story. Even he didn't want to believe it, but across three different worlds, he had become entangled with world wills and higher existences in one way or another. It inevitably made him reflect on his own position.
"We chase world fragments, striving for the continuation and rebirth of worlds. Other Creator Gods and world wills will naturally give us some preferential treatment. At the very least, they won't kick us while we're down."
His words made Esdeath pause, then she chuckled softly.
"So it seems these world wills still have a bit of what you'd call… a 'conscience,' Is that right?"
"More or less. But we probably shouldn't get too reckless. You handle things here. I'll go clean up the mess we made."
Ryuji casually fired a steel wire up into the sky and then quickly headed towards where the storm clouds were forming.
As he disappeared into the distance, the sow-goddess covered her face with both hands.
"Hehehe… Ryuji really does like me. Otherwise, he wouldn't go out of his way to stop a natural disaster just because of me. Tonight I have to perform extra well. I must let Master Ryuji use my body to feel really, really good…"
Esdeath, who had just walked over, paused for a moment at this lovestruck sow's words. Then she shook her head and chose to ask directly.
"Are you a Creator God?"
The sow-goddess paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Of course not! How could I be such a big shot?"
She was Ryuji's exclusive sow-goddess! How could she possibly be a Creator Goddess?
