Chapter 17: Crypted Chaos

After relaxing at Gertrude-chan's home for a while and participating in the festival that came right after, we decided to go to the royal capital of the beastkin kingdom as we had promised. We went by carriage of course since we didn't need to cause any panic within the kingdom and it seemed that Dark Matter fragment hadn't returned yet. It could be that it developed a personality and began to investigate on its own, I'll wait for her to come back, I've got to think of a name for her when she returns. The trip was filled with cheers and celebrations so the people were making a big ruckus because of Geri and Freki whilst me and everyone else were resting inside of the carriage and stretching when we needed to outside when we were not inside of a city.

"What did you expect when you reached the beastkin kingdom really?That everyone will just stare at these Fenrir and just ignore them?"

"Uh yes?"

"Foolishness, Fenrir are sacred creatures and haven't appeared in the world for a very long time and there is even a mythos centered around them"

"I heard from Gertrude and her parents in full detail, is this the reason why Geri and Freki's parents left them here?"

"Probably, they do worship the goddess of life after all"

『Lythalia accidentally helped with the stepping stones of several demihumans in this world, she gave them advice randomly and in doing so ended up having to keep a promise to the beastkin and the elves as well as the dwarves. Mankind was not supposed to rule alone but in coexistence hence why she saw what was coming and wanted to at least prepare for it after she gave birth and dealt with several issues in the universe that needed her attention.』

Sophia spoke right after Shen in a very casual and informative way, it made me gain some insight though. It must be very hard to be an eldritch goddess who accidentally gives random kingdom building advice and has to come back to clean her mess. Only problem with that is I am the one who is cleaning up her mess, oh well I am having fun whilst I am at it.

『However because of a certain being she ended up meeting just the right person at just the right time. With a Yggdrasil seed inside of their soul I am not going to clarify who that is. All I will say now is that they have to help as much as they can to restore the balance as soon as possible even if it means taking some extreme measures. After that they can do whatever they wish to do』

"You heard that Yukiyo restore the balance she says"

"Yeah, yeah I am going to be having a wild time with the inhabitants of this world aren't I?"

"I pray you don't be too harsh on mankind"

Sev said with a pale face considering that I might rampage if I discover certain things that might happen.

"Don't worry, I'll try to be as level headed as I can Sev. Kuro, Shiro"

"Yes"

"We are listening"

"I will always protect you no matter what and I am never going to abandon you, so know that after I am done with this world you will be coming with me wherever I go as well"

"YAY!!"

"Exploration of different worlds.....interesting"

"Same goes for you Geri and Freki"

"We already knew that"

"Indeed"

"Oh my, it seems this dark elf certainly has ambitions"

"Heh"

『Beyond that there is a being who is exactly like her that she has to meet so this world isn't supposed to be our pitstop』

"......Another Yukiyo"

"......I don't want to imagine that"

".....But that's a reality is it not?"

".....It is"

"HEY, MEETING ANOTHER VERSION OF MYSELF ISN'T GOING TO BE SO BAD!!!"

"『You are breaking common sense in other worlds, how could that not be bad』"

Everyone said in unison that I had to get knocked back to reality that meeting Lucky Discord would be a headache for everyone except me!Lucky Discord please prove these guys wrong!I stretched my body and got back into the carriage so we could go back on our journey.

When the news arrived she was shocked to say the least but the advent of the Fenrir twins had come to pass, the prophecy was going to be fulfilled. The steps to greatness would begin now and she was envisioning it, long ago when she was a child her mother, the former queen told her that she had a vision that in her time that the Great Beastkin Empire would rise again. Her enslaved brothers and sisters would be set free and begin to live happy and content lives, the territories which were theirs to begin with would be in their hands once more. She sat on the throne watching the setting sun as the trumpets blasted out loud, they have arrived, the ones who are to bring back the old glory of the Great Beastkin Empire. The chimes in the room blissfully rang as she could feel their very god like presence.

『Divination Skill Has Been Activated』

By force her mind's eye opened up, she stood in the middle of a great landscape with grass and distant trees. Those who were slaves stood all beside praying when she stared at up to the sky she saw them in their full glory. A wolf covered in flames and another covered in lightning, behind them they commanded a countless number of similar wolves who gathered as a pack. These were the Ultimate Alphas of their race, one filled with wisdom and knowledge, the other filled with the brutality and experience of a veteran warrior. They both howled and the sun filled landscape turned into night with the full moon shining more brightly than ever, with the stars painting the night sky in a wonderful myriad of colors as if entailing the eternal greatness of them being obeyed. Behind them was a dark elf who smiled warmly at them with her arms folded.

The door opens and she immediately gets off from her throne, she bows before her gods in the flesh and the one who took care of them up until this point. She could hear the knights of the room and the people in question freeze up.

"I, Cimeria Grimsvile, welcome you Great Patron Gods of the Nation. Lead us to Glory O Deities of Wildness. Show us the path of Victory and may we reclaim our nation's former territories and its peoples who have been unrightfully enslaved by the humans. Our fate and destiny has been fulfilled as the prophecy told us!"

She said these words from the bowels of her soul, she believed in those words and knew they were about to become a reality. After what seemed to be a moment of silence and the sound of kicking the sounds of padded footsteps could heard approaching her.

"Please rise your head"

She did as she was asked and stared at them intensely, they were just as majestic as they were in the vision but in an earthly form that concealed their greatness. She was surprised at how normal sounding their voices were.

"My name is Geri"

"My name is Freki"

"A promise was made with your ancestors and we would like to continue that promise"

"Will you allow us to do that?"

"YES!"

"Then that settles we would like to give you a divine protection and it seems there's one of you...."

"Worry not, my daughter will tend to you and be given your divine protection as well!"

"Ah, w-where is she?"

"Apparently she applied to become a knight today I must apologize, one of my elite knights will pick her up right now."

She will certainly be surprised by this, she smiled as she knew that her daughter was inept in swordsmanship and had little magic ability as was the state of the beastkin. She signals one of them to go take Wynter so she could receive blessings from the Fenrirs. Life was changing right here and now.

I had to kick those two into motion because it would be embarrassing for them to just stand here and say nothing, they should act the part when the time comes. The queen's action took me by surprise same with the escorts who guided us from our carriage. After that we began to have a normal conversation.

"As we wait for my daughter I must tell you of the current situation. Our territories were taken by the humans with our people being enslaved by them eventually to suit their needs, we have tried numerous times to regain our land but it was in vain. You are our hope but I have worries"

"That there won't be an accommodation for your people until they take back their land?"

"Yes"

"I have a solution for that"

"As expected of the great mother, what is your plan?"

"I will create a dungeon that will become a temporary living grounds for them"

"W-What?"

She sounded confused, I know I am saying some really strange stuff but I had to press on.

"I am capable of creating a large dungeon that will keep your people safe, in fact we will rescue them all tonight and 8 days from now we will attack the capitals in unison"

The queen whispered something to one of her servants who began to guide us into another room which was connected by the door that was within the throne room. This was where they held all of their conservations for war, a laid out map was on the table with the queen directly point at the locations that had been taken away from them all those years ago. The territories were massive city states and a couple of villages and towns, I knew what to do and smiled as I watched her point out the areas.

"The moon is about to rise, now it is time to act"

"Great Mother how will you retrieve our people, if I may foolishly ask"

"Teleportation"

"Ah...."

She didn't expect that answer, I pointed out to the area that was just at the border of all three stolen territories. It was large enough for my labyrinth city to be created.

"Sophia will you help me out?"

『Of course I will, I know this world like the back of my hand』

"Thank you"

"Is that the voice of our great goddess Sophia-sama?"

"Uh..."

"Speak not. I can tell you are different, please do as you wish."

"Okay...it seems Geri and Freki will arrive to give you the divine protection after we are done with this."

"That is alright as well"

Looks like I have hit her with some hard information to accept. I teleported out into the open with Geri and Freki.

"This is going to be hard to do boys"

"Indeed"

"But we wish to do it anyway"

"Great because we might need to become show offs for a bit"

"Are you saying?"

"That we should make the humans tremble?"

"More or less"

"Mother is certainly the best"

"Kaa-san truly is"

I turned around to the empty field with a smile.

"『Dungeon Creation』"

The mental image in my mind was a massive labyrinth that had 3 layers to it, the first two being the initial dungeon and the third being the city that the freed people would live in, those in villages will be alright but those in towns and cities however it would be a different case. The only option was to leave the villages alone (I know they will be taxed heavily and turned into slaves so I will check the mines just in case) and rescue those who have been facing hardships currently. You ask how can I be everywhere at the same time, Dark Matter-chan to the rescue!Of course I will personally visit the capitals to give them a big ol' scare. After the dungeon had everything that would be fit for it I decided to bring my two cute daughters into the scene.

"Shiro, Kuro I want you to nurture the dungeon core just enough for it to produce a miasma that keeps ordinary monsters out, okay?"

"Understood Okaa-san!"

"Mhm"

"Also I want you to make the city that is in the third floor beautiful, do not overdo it make sure it looks and feels like a city. You are free to even add a sky as well"

"I will keep nee-chan in check"

"I believe in the both of you"

I looked forward to this and now when the moon was high in the sky it was time.

The moon had a chilling presence about it, as if something was awfully wrong somewhere. Tonight was different from all the other nights, every once a month the beastkin would go out into their little homes and pray to the moon which was their deity. This was around since the beginning of the acquisition of the city states themselves that this tradition began and it had remained ever since, the influx of people required the beastkin to become slaves so they could accommodate the people coming to stay. The guards were at their stations as usual and they watched the slaves pray to their god, the new lord of the land was to say the least the worst the land had ever seen. Oddly enough he was out tonight and walking towards one of the guards.

"Hey you"

"Yes Milord!"

"What are the filthy slaves doing?"

"T-They are praying to their gods Milord!"

"Not only are they disgusting demihumans but they are pagans as well"

"....."

The guard let out a tired yet silent breath, he didn't like where this conversation was going at all.

"Alright then, stop them from committing this vile act"

"W-What Milord?I failed to catch what you said"

"STOP THEM FROM PRAYING TO THEIR PAGAN GODS!!"

"But Milord this is a tradition that has occurred for decades, if we stop them something bad will happen"

"Like what?They will rebel against us?!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU MAKE ME LAUGH!!Such a thing will not happen, now disperse those filthy demihuman slaves!!Guards get to work!!"

All the guards silently took their whips and began to walk towards the slaves who were praying to the risen full moon, each step felt heavier and they were all sweating. The man who ordered them to do this was a overzealous human supremacist, he was raised in the empire before coming here so they knew that the Empire was afraid he might screw up because of his nature. One of the guards raised his hand to release the whip onto the back of the slaves and the deed was done but then it was at that moment a deep anger filled howl filled the land. It seemed like fate itself was disturbed by what was going to occur here as such the time had come to step in.

The slaves stopped praying and stared towards the night sky where the anomaly was occurring as flame and lightning were building from completely nothing, then . The was here, they towered over the city for all to see them in full glory. The slaves' collars all broke at the same time, accompanied by another large howl caused the sky to flare up in brightness as the flames and lightning from their body increased in intensity from behind was a being that they couldn't fully explain as by a wave of the hand all of the slaves had vanished leaving no trace behind. The sound of pure doom was beginning to ring out its song as the new lord was spoiling his pants as he watched the Fenrirs stare him down, and the thing behind them was smiling at his despair. This was not going to end well for him and he knew it.

The underground city was filled with cheers and noises of happiness. People were being reunited, people were praising their living gods that they were finally set free and now they were going to be leading better lives than before. This was for a brief moment as everyone turned their attention the dark elf who had brought their gods to them in the first place.

"Alright, this is an underground city which is located between 2 levels of a dungeon. It is located between the borders of the city states and the beastkin kingdom, I am the creator of this dungeon so you will be safe in here. The beastkin kingdom for now cannot accommodate places for you to live just so please be patient as we fight to regain your land back. This will all happen within a 8 day period, as you can see you were all taken during the same time in the night and the lords of the territories will all march down to this exact area after we give them a tip."

Their faces became tense and filled with sadness for a bit but Freki stepped in.

"Trust in us, they will certainly not take you away not from this place because it is literal hell for them"

They began to lighten up and smiled once more as everyone was instructed to go to the bath houses which were located in the great dungeon city as the people called it.

"Now then let us begin"

Yukiyo turned to Shiro and Kuro who she pats immediately for a job well done.

"You did fantastic my beautiful daughters, I'll make ice cream for you once this is over"

"Ohhhhh"

"Yay!!"

"Now then we need a boss for this dungeon"

"Boss?"

"You mean the dungeon lord right Mama?"

"Yes, of course the dungeon would need to create one but I cannot afford to waste time on a monster that will be too easy to defeat, I'll be taking care of the dungeon and the way it is structured now."

"Here starts the literal construction of hell itself"

"I feel sorry for those humans"

Yukiyo activated her unique skill: Monster God which creates a complicated purple magic circle. The amount of mana being burnt here could fuel a magic core and leave it running for the next hundred years or so. A figure emerges from the magic circle, it's a massive skeleton at least it is taller than Shen by an inch or two. It is clad in black armor and looking rather intimidating, in the parts were its forearms would be exposed was covered in cold blue flame that acted as muscles for its clearly visible bones, it had an eyepatch that covered its left eye which served as a decoration with a single horn being located at near the temple. It's blue flamed eye held intelligence inside of it, Geri and Freki stood back for a bit in surprise.

"Mother just what have you created?"

"Uh.....a skeleton general?"

"No, look at its status, our younger brother is anything but a skeleton general"

• Name: ???

• Age: 0

• Race: Skeleton Knight Lord

• Title: Creation of the Archbishop of Chaos, Lord of the Undead

• Job: Dungeon Lord of the Chaos Crypt

• Level: 230

• Job History: None

I froze as I stared at my creation who was being called younger brother by Geri and Freki, Shiro and Kuro ran towards the skeleton knight and hugged it.

"You are so tall despite being so little!I am your onee-chan Shiro!"

"I too am your older sister, Kuro pleased to meet you younger brother"

"...."

It went down on one knee and had its bare skull patted by the twins with its gaze becoming gentle and warm, it gave off the emotion of an actual being. Yukiyo walked up to it and patted it as well.

"Your name shall be Odin, I don't think I'll make any monsters since I have installed some just now using the dungeon function. We are family okay?I know you have a long journey to walk but we will walk it together."

"I, Odin shall take your words into heart, great mother"

"Ah he can actually talk, well then I guess I have to give you an early birthday gift then I thought you wouldn't talk for a bit"

"Ohh"

Yukiyo literally on the spot held a jet black long sword with a human skull for a hilt and a glaring dragon eye on its forehead, she gives it to Odin whose eye is burning brightly as it stares at the sword.

"Its not much but this is the sword Gram, it means Wrath from where I come from. Use it as you see fit. A group of invaders are going to arrive here in the next 5 days or so."

"I see, vile invaders who seek to ruin the peace of the people. I as the lord of these people shall protect them."

"His speech has gone all weird"

"Its been like that since the very beginning"

"I actually feel sorry for the people who are going to be coming here"

"They are elitists so it shouldn't be a problem"
