My head was swimming as my eyes were closed while I was resting, I could hear the rough breathing of the nearby Alliron, and I could also feel that Shira was getting closer to my location before sitting just right next to me.I didn't open my eyes as I felt her hand on my forehead, she was giving me a gentle supply of energy to help me with my recovery.I nodded slightly at her action, most likely making her smile.My torn muscles and cracked bones were slowly mending without any immediate threat to break them anymore, the energy pool inside my body was slowly recovering, transforming into a calm ocean that regained its peace after a tumultuous storm.The 9th layer was supposed to have even further tortures for us, but hell understood our situations and had stopped all tortures from affecting us, we were being 'pardoned' for helping it.Of course, the remaining demons who were still alive were most likely going through beatings from the law enforcers combined with the tortures of the

The devil immediately waved his pitchfork lightly, making the surroundings change as we were all trapped in a labyrinth that came out of the ground, splitting us up into two groups:"I might not be able to take you all at once, but what if I split you up!?"The speed of the labyrinth was too quick, so I could not get near Alliron and Aratas in time, but at least Shira was near me when it happened.Shira looked at the labyrinth ahead as she did her best to control the rampaging sins in her body, now that the devil was going all out, the sins were being empowered as they tried to rip themselves away from us so they could go back to their original master.However, would we let them go so easily?The answer was an obvious no, I slapped myself around some parts of my body, locking them up and making the escape of the sins impossible. No matter how hard they tried to batter my insides and damage my energy pool, I would not let them go!Shira steeled her gaze and mimicked my actions before s

I shook my mother's in law hand and kissed it afterward, she smiled sweetly at me as she looked at her daughter and said:"You didn't tell me your boyfriend is such a gentleman. Maybe I will take him for myself."Shira knew her mother was teasing her, so she huffed and put her hands under her breasts as she turned her head to the side and said:"Mother, it's not the time for that, I know that you are only acting like this because you are attempting to get over that shitty father of mine who did what he did to you."Hearing those words made Shira's mother pale slightly before turning back to her sunny disposition, she shook her head slowly and turned towards me before saying:"So when do you two want to have the wedding? We can invite all your friends and acquaintances right here, it's a pretty wide place, so it should be able to house everyone, this place is also quite secure and secret, so no one would be able to crash your wedding!"I wasn't sure if it was the man's job to plan the

The regulators had things that I needed, and they didn't require me to do anything unless I took the missions on my own or I somehow found an infected planet.But all I had to do was report its coordinates, which wasn't anything to be wary of.Too many benefits to be taken for joining the alliance, no downsides almost, which made me frown inside.There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, so there should be some undercurrents in the alliance that Malavai wasn't talking about for now.I looked towards the man in question as he awaited for all three of us to make up our minds.Seeing how I turned my gaze towards him, Malavai smiled as he asked:"So?"I wanted to join the regulators for the opportunities they could give me to become stronger, but things were slightly shady in my mind, my paranoia made me unable to give him a response for the time being, but I knew that I had to give it to him sooner or later, and I'm sure he wouldn't wait for more than a few days around here.

After traveling the human continent, I moved towards the second continent I have frequented quite a bit during my life on the planet.The Duramato continent.I flew high in the sky, looking down at the inhabited areas which were now filled with Orcs that worked together instead of warring against each other any time they could.The Orcs were still quite a violent bunch, but instead of fighting to the death with nearby villages, they started to have tournaments/non-lethal but pretty serious fights amongst themselves that would quench their thirst for violence.Their society was slowly taking shape, evolving slowly but surely.Seeing the orcs took me back to when I was conquering them using the domination ability, and when I fought Mandaia...One of the few severe fights I had while on the continent.I shook my head slightly as I thought about her, she was loyal to the last, and her body/skeleton was now most likely resting in the sand of the desert.I poured some energy from my body in
