Chapter 331 - Chapter 330: The World Doesn’t Need You (II)

For the longest time, she had dreamed of using Kouten's power to realize her desire—to bring that man back to her side.

But Goku's abrupt—and high-handed—arrival had changed everything. With equal parts gentleness and domineering force, he melted her grief away and, without asking permission, took possession of every corner of her heart.

In that case, nothing else mattered. If so, then let this tedious Sekirei Plan come to an end.

"I've temporarily lost control of Kouten. Minaka must have tampered with something… Goku, destroy it. A thing like that shouldn't exist," Asama Miya exhaled and, looking up at the sky island, finally made her decision.

"If that's your wish, I'll oblige," Goku said lightly, eyes lifting to Kouten.

At that very moment, Minaka issued his own order.

"Fire, Kouten! Wipe out everyone who means me harm!"

A blinding white radiance bloomed atop the sky island, dazzling as sunlight. A focused beam, thick with the pulse of annihilation, condensed—and then lanced forth, rending the void and lighting half the sky.

Its target: Goku and the women at his side.

The killing intent was so intense that Karasuba, Miya, and the others all changed color.

"Here it comes! Goku—block it!" Matsu shouted. Knowing who and what he was, none of them felt fear—only urgency.

"Heh. If you attack me like that, you're signing your own death warrant."

Goku regarded the beam that swallowed the sky and spoke as if noting the weather. "In my name… disperse."

In an instant the beam reached him—then, a hair's breadth before contact, stopped. Like smoke in a breeze, it faded and was gone.

Far off, surviving Sekirei stared, stunned beyond words.

"C-Cool… so cool!" Musubi gazed at Goku with starry-eyed worship.

"So this… is a god's power. intoxicating," Karasuba whispered, eyes bright with a thrill that bordered on madness.

"H-How… Kouten's power, stopped just like that?" Minaka's face went slack with disbelief.

Goku flashed forward with the women and appeared atop the high-rise before Minaka. "Do you know the consequence of striking at me?"

"W-What…?" Minaka stammered. Standing before Goku, he could no longer muster even the will to resist. For the first time, he felt death.

"Disappear together with Kouten. This is a God's Judgment."

As his body began to fade, Minaka stared, aghast. Strangely, there was no terror in his eyes.

"So you are a god… Hah. To lose to a god—I suppose I can't complain. In fact, it's an honor. Hahaha…"

"Hiroto!"

A cry echoed as Takami Sahashi ran up from the stairwell, only to see Minaka already half-gone. Her pupils shrank to pinpoints.

"Sorry, Takami… It was a fun game, wasn't it? Shame it ended so fast. Unlucky me—without realizing it, I offended an actual god. Take care of yourself… and of our child…"

Even as he vanished, Minaka's tone was absurdly casual.

"You idiot, shut up! I'm begging for you!"

Takami snapped through her tears, then dropped to her knees before Goku, touching her forehead to the rooftop.

"Please—spare him. He can be unhinged and irresponsible, but I swear he isn't truly evil. Just this once—please."

"You don't have to, Takami," Minaka murmured. "I did order Kouten to fire…"

"Silence!" she barked, eyes wet.

Kazehana hesitated, then spoke. "Goku… let it go. He's insufferable, yes—but not wicked. Spare him."

"President Minaka's a good person!" Musubi chimed in, clasping her hands. "Goku, please?"

Goku glanced at Tsukiumi and the others. "All of you feel the same?"

Tsukiumi huffed. "He's irritating—but not to the point of death. Let him off—just this once." Around her, the women nodded. At heart, they were kind.

"Seems you're well liked," Goku said to Minaka. "So be it."

He flicked his hand; Minaka's dissolving body reformed in an instant.

"But a capital offense commuted does not erase a living sentence. You'll pay for your rudeness."

His palm fell lightly. Minaka pinwheeled down the rooftop like a human tumbleweed.

"H-Hiroto!"

Takami rushed after him and helped him up. He was covered in blood—but breathing. She sagged in relief, then bowed repeatedly to Goku in thanks.

Minaka, aching in every bone, could only stare.

High above, Kouten continued to thin—and finally vanished from the world entirely.

Goku swept his hand. In the next heartbeat, Sekirei gathered by the hundreds, until all 108 stood present. More than half were inert—functions terminated.

The rest looked around in confusion. Some, having witnessed what had happened earlier, gazed at Goku with unconcealed reverence.

A god stood before them. Their hearts pounded.

"How do you plan to deal with the Sekirei?" Miya asked quietly at his side.

"The Sekirei should not exist in this world. You disrupt its order. As this world's god, it's my duty to take you back. Those of you unwinged—I will remove you from this realm. Will you consent?"

"We are willing… We will heed the god's will."

Faces flushed, the beautiful Sekirei responded as one. It wasn't their fault for swooning; a world's Ruler was not something they could resist.

Goku's gaze skimmed the ranks and he grinned inwardly.

"Tch. Be honest—you just want to fold them into your harem," Tsukiumi muttered, arms crossed.

"Traitor—you had to say it out loud?"

Caught red-handed, Goku coughed, then decided shame was overrated. With an imperious wave, he drew every Sekirei whose systems had halted—and who were still pure maidens—into his world. As for the rest, he gently erased their memories and left them as ordinary humans in this realm.

And with that, all traces of the Sekirei vanished from this world.

--

In the world Goku had created, the newly arrived Sekirei were wide-eyed with wonder—especially at Dragon Palace City. Its opulence left them speechless; even the grass by the road was a peerless medicinal treasure.

"From now on, you'll live here," Goku told them, kindly but firm. "Until you're stronger, don't wander outside the city. With your current strength, the beasts out there are far beyond you."

His careful warnings went largely unheard; the girls' attention had been wholly stolen by the marvels around them.

"…Fine. Do as you like," he sighed, helpless. With his leave, the flock scattered in delighted squeals.

"Goku… matters here are wrapped up. Will you take me back to see him?"

Kushina came to his side, eyes full of hope.

"Back… to the Naruto world?" Goku studied her face. "You want to return?"

She nodded. "It's been so long… Naruto must be grown by now. I want to see him."

"I'd like to go too," Mikoto added, stepping forward with a hopeful smile. "I wonder how Sasuke is doing. Goku, take us back? Whichever world you choose is all the same to you, isn't it?"

"Please, Goku," another voice chimed in. "We don't love that world… but it's still where we were born."

Time had smoothed away the edges. The little girls of before were gone—replaced by two stunning, mature beauties whose curves could make trouble of their own...
