After I had malty I kept her under tight lock and key, only accessible by a few. My staff watched the broadcast and was FURIOUS as was likely the rest of the countries people. Understandably so. The queen received requests to broadcast the trial to other countries people by their rulers, so I had to run the questions by her for the broadcast. She signed off on them, but the answers we received were very bad for relations. But because it was mostly bitch's schemes and not trash's, the anger was mostly toward the decision to keep malty alive. But with the shields declaration to help the waves in other countries, and my decision to not only do the same, but to connect the tower to the other churches. They can't use it to gain access to the other countries like I can, but they will all be in the same place and able to interact. That's why there are very strict rules set in place and breaking them is a banable offense.

1: No stealing.

2: No trying to copy or learn any technology or spells used(this is a offense that will get your ENTIRE KINGDOM CUT OFF.)

3: No fighting outside the arena.

4: No racism or prejudiceness against humans or demihumans.

5: No harassing my staff

6: money is not the currency, but it can be exchanged for the currency and donations of anything is appreciated as it helps with upkeep... but bribery is NOT ALLOWED AND WILL BE CONSIDERED A OFFENSE AGAINST A HERO.

7: registration as a patron is free.

8: if you see my employees wandering about or wanting to purchase something don't bother them.

9: in the combat floors if you try to kill others or Rob others you're banned.(this is kept a secret but it's a rule.)

10: the dungeon battles are viewable for free and you can bet your points on or against dungeon the dungeon goers(you can bet whether the dungeon will win or whether the party will win.)

11: points are allocated from battles based on these things:

Coordination

Cooperation

Efficiency

Contribution

Competence

Difficulty

Enemies defeated

And whether you beat the challenge

12: there's different dungeon ranks and different rewards for each rank. Each dungeon mission has different rank requirements.

The tower had several facilities. Classes, daycare, a auction house, 3 restaunts, 4 arenas(3 smaller ones for duels and a large one for blockbuster events), servant quarters, a library full of treasures from my world(mangas, light novels, and traditional books of philosophy, fantasy, poetry and more all translated of course.), we have a cinema with concession stands and everything as well as over 30 public theatres as well as 10 private theaters they play different movies from my world magically played and translated with the help of the spirits, Nimbus, and my employees... they got some pretty talented voice actors and they agreed to do it for free if they had free access to the facilities. Anyways, we also have clothing stores, make up stores, candy stores, book stores, novelty stores, and mother in law Sheri moved her bakery into the tower so she could be closer to us and the spirits.... plus she also wanted free access to the facilities which is what all employees have. There's also a giant shrine dedicated to ALL gods that people can pray to, AND of course a dragon hourglass dedicated to the spirits made by the spirits(I wanted to move melromarcs but that was absolutely rejected by the queen... 😔). If you pay a fee you can receive an assessment from the spirit kings and if they determine you worthy you can attempt to contract a spirit at the spirit altar at the top of the tower. It's surrounded by the spirits: Shiva,

Ifrit, Leviathan, Titan, Bahamut, Ramuh, and Garuda. A portrait of them is in the background of them during the great spirit war.

Now about bitch... 😊.........😁.........😈 like I said she's locked up tight but she has a routine. The first thing I did was cripple her. I carved up her face and cut the tendons in her heels so she couldn't walk properly(resilient bitch). I forced a contract on her that'll destroy her soul if she tries to leave. It also disables her magic and combat ability so she's basically A retard. She can't hold a sword levalone swing it. I disfigured her body, her face is marred up, her body has words like:, filthy, whore, bitch, slut, garbage and other things. Every other day the girls beat her and every night afterwards the guys bang bang her. (This is all the demihumans doing this btw) on days she's not doing those things I put her in the AR machine. I put all sorts of hellish scenarios in there. Its mainly based of the experiences of the slaves and the suffering of those who she has hurt. The scenarios include ones that aren't of this world, like her being a plaything for goblins, her being dismembered to death, starved to death, beaten to death. Driven to suicide, deadly diseases, humiliated publicly AND 'privately', and so much more. And like the sick fuck I am I get off to It cause it's like crack to me seeing bitches suffer(is that wrong?. I currently am enjoying her being beaten to death by her 'master' when I'm snapped out of it by the sudden presence of L'arc, Therese, and Glass as well as the Queens head shadow.

"How can you enjoy this I daresay?"

The shadow says.

"If you knew the extent of her evils you'd not fault me." I say.

"Enlighten us then kiddo. How does the fallen princess factor into this?" L'arc says to me.

"As I said before the goddess is responsible for everything. Let me tell you a story of the worlds and their goddess. The goddess wasn't always a goddess, in fact she was a mere mortal before. After lots of leveling she became a goddess. Now, I don't know exactly how much leveling but I know she's Been around for billions of years. These worlds were created by someone else I think, but she's made them her stomping grounds. The legendary weapons and heroes are her little toys, her exp and skill farmers. The waves have been around for a long time, and many heroes and people have fallen to them. The skills and experience that heroes accumulate go to her when they die, but the thing is it wasn't enough for her. She became dissatisfied with it and made the waves and more world's and heroes. It's a losing situation cause everyone who dies in this world's exp goes to her, outside of the waves as well. But even if the heroes manage go overcome the waves till the end, she'll wipe out the world's and start over at a certain point, creating new humans in an old world. She changes the language and values spreading lies through her human avatar. She shapes the worlds and their inhabitants. That's why this world is so twisted and corrupt at its core, melromarc especially. I don't know how your worlds and their inhabitants compare but for whatever reason she takes special care of this one. I don't know who the god that created this world is, but Naofumi meets him eventually. The god basically told him that he can't interfere with these worlds directly, but the council of gods from whatever civilization they're from that cultivates gods says that she's become such an eyesore that she needed to die. Apparently she's caused major problems for them and was always a troublemaker. She's been killing newly born gods, and her treatment and stance on the world is the antithesis of what the gods are for. She's had her death a long time coming, but she's sealed the world's off and barricaded herself in so none of the good gods can step in. That's where heroes and that god naofumi met comes in. I can't remember it exactly but I believe they made a bet? Idk but basically the god couldn't interfere. But throughout history heroes have been chosen by gods to take care of disasters like demonlords and corrupted gods. That's where the shield hero comes in. The shield hero is hated by the goddess because she thinks defense is a worthless stat and he was part of the gods intervention. He's a heretic in her eyes cause she's not one of hers. She thinks all he can do is take damage and not deal it out but she's deadly wrong. The goddess was nearly killed by one of the shield heroes around the time Fitoria was raised, it was proven by that shield hero that the shield heroes CAN be strong cause they have struggled greatly. They are great tactitions, practical, rational, and in addition to having ridiculous defensive stats they also have the ability to attack. She managed to kill the heroes and get her exp but she had a newfound hatred for the god that I keep mentioning and an increased hatred for the shield."

"That's...." they are speechless. A whirlwind of emotions ranging from anger, to hatred, to despair, to hope.

The shadow urges me to continue by saying, "What of the princesses involvement and the end of the story?"

I explain how the princess is her avatar and her soul is that of the goddesses, but only a fraction of the goddess. I told them about how the three stouges unsealed the great tortoise and fled being unable to beat it, and how the princess was released by motoyasu from her crest with holy water so she was free to lie and cause trouble. When naofumi was tracking them down he met motoyasu, bitch and ren. Bitch told ren that motoyasu left her and the woman she was working with to die while he fled. Believing it ren took them only to be robbed by them and left penniless unlocking his pride and greed curse series, while motoyasu unlocked the lust curse series. I explained how the curse series works to them, and about motoyasu's series punishment. I also explained how the bow hero got a curse series as well and was abandoned by his party and how when the queen gave naofumi his fief the Neanderthal giant guy from the bow heroes party brainwashes people and poisons the water with the help of the church, and Takt Arusahorun Faubrey the mastermind of it all, attempting to poison the shield hero the today and how she kills her mother causing her father to execute her.

"They eventually came together after realizing it wasn't a game and their actions were killing hundreds of thousands and their teammates either dying or being betrayed by them, they came together. But at what cost? Not only did so many die because of them, the church caused damage all the while under the direction of faulbeys tactician, and then the remaining gave their energy to the goddess when she came down and she rained more death. The point is it's all pointless nonsense that could've and should've been avoided."

"Wait wait wait! Go back, what did Takt Arusahorun Faubrey do?" L'arc says.

"He's the main human antagonist! He's not a genius he's a reincarnated person. He poisons naofumi's fief, kills Atlas(the kings niece) indirectly, brainwashes the fief residents, steals the seven star weapons and legendary weapons, tries to control the world, kills the queen and the seven star heroes, as well as thousands of allied forces, he's the kind of guy who believes that levels and strong equipment are everything. Don't worry though, I've already made the necessary steps to take care of him...😈"

"Oh? Is that why you had me bring you a soul eater to contract?" Glass said.

"Indeed. I let the spirits have their fun with him. They're taking his knowledge and levels while they fight him. The God of Spirits will give me his knowledge and the weapons weapons which I will give to the right people. He may be strong and highly leveled, but levels don't matter. He's naive and dumb and doesn't stand a cha-"

I'm interrupted by a voice in my head.

"It seems the spirits have finished. They're sending the body and weapons over. I'm putting him after the conference. He's killed the former heroes and stole their weapons, he's conspired with the goddess and it's time to let everyone know the true face behind the 'genius' of Faulbey. The conference starts soon yes? Then let's not delay. Do you 3 want to come with us to the conference?" I say to Glass, L'arc, and Therese.

They look at Each other before glass speaks. "Yes. We would very much like to come present ourselves... we have a common enemy after all."

And with that we head off to the conference of heroes.

⭕

Hey naofumi, Raphtalia, Filo, and Ake! Just helped them class up Ake?"

He nodded enthusiastically.

"That's great! We have to go to the conference, but here's a free pass to the entertainment facilities in the tower. You've been so good to Naofumi it's the least I could do. You get an employee discount on the shops when you register as well Ake. You deserve It! Also, the other nights will get the same treatment so when you register go together so they know you guys are the mvps of the knightage." I say handing him a ticket and patting him on the shoulder. He cries and hugs me before letting go. I smile at him and wave as I walk off with Naofumi and his party. It's silent for a while before I speak.
