Taming my Monster Girl Harem from Scratch

The first thing I noticed after it appeared was that its presence was a lot more powerful compared to before. I guess it recovered slowly after we released the seal from last time?

[Hmmm? You...]

Suddenly, its golden eyes turned in my direction, squinting as if trying to see clearly.

[Aren't you the human that released me from the seal? Why did you call for me?]

"Oh! Angel of Death! It is I, Prince Damian of the Great Paragon Empire!"

As if interrupting the angel in the sky, the idiot prince stepped forward, his arms spread forward in a theatrical display. His voice sounded as if he were overjoyed to have gandered at its splendor.

"It is I who have called for you, esteemed one! In accordance with the ancient contract, I hereby command you to wipe out this barbaric country at once!"

[Paragon... Empire?]

The angel titled its head, as if unable to recall such a name.

[I have lived for billions of years, but it's my first time hearing that name. And even if I did know, why should I follow your orders?]

"...!"

The prince's body stiffened instantly, cold sweat rolling down his forehead. I could tell that the angel was angry, and he was now suffering under the brunt of it.

"P-Please, stop joking. W-We of the Paragon Empire received this necklace from you, along with the promise of supporting us when we call you!"

[Necklace...?]

"H-Here!"

From within his clothes, the prince pulled out an antique-looking necklace. Even from a glance, I could tell how much power was sleeping within that small trinket. The claim that the item came from an angel suddenly gained more credibility.

However, the angel's response was different than what he expected.

[You... Where did you get that?!]

Anger. Unbridled anger, enough to shake heaven and earth. I can't help but give props to the prince, who didn't faint while suffering a direct hit from its burning rage.

The angel flew down, landing before the prince, looking down on him as if a giant were staring at a mouse.

[Speak, mortal. Where did you get this necklace?!]

Although the prince could maintain his consciousness, his legs were already shaking from the pressure weighing down on him. He opened his lips, stuttering as hell as he tried to answer.

"W-w-w-we r-received t-t-this from our a-a-ancest-t-tors... Th-they say that it was a gift from you to t-them..."

[Gift... to your ancestors?]

Suddenly, the entire world became completely silent. It was as if the world was feeling the same as the angel, speechless from extreme anger.

[This is the Necklace of Immortality... It should've belonged to the woman I once loved when I was still a mortal... And you say you got it from me as a GIFT?!]

*BOOOOM!*

A dust cloud rose, even though the angel hadn't moved. The ground behind the price split open, as if cleaved by a gigantic axe, revealing the boiling lava deep under the ground. The teleportation array he was standing on was rendered useless in an instant!

"...!"

Finally, his legs gave out, slumping down on the ground unsightly. His white pants got stained yellow, spreading from his crotch area down to his thighs.

Although I wanted to laugh at his pathetic display, I feared that laughing here would cause the angel's wrath to turn to me, so I kept my silence. After all, I'm within arm's reach of the angel of death, so the danger level in my location is quite high.

"P-P-Please hold back your anger, oh angel of death! I-I'm sure that the woman you gave this necklace to was our ancestor! Yes, absolutely!"

[You b*stard! You dare claim that, even after knowing that my woman promised eternity with me?! She's a sickly woman who lost her ability to bear offspring, and you dare say she has descendants?!]

Ahhh... This is bad.

"Retreat!"

I shouted with a loud voice, enough to be heard by the other three.

Without hesitation, I jumped using [Shadow Teleportation] to Goddess Blanc's side. Shortly after, Vermeil also came to our side with a face filled with cold sweat.contemporary romance

"What the hell is that prince doing?! Does he want to destroy the world or something?!"

She cursed under her breath, staring daggers at the man, who probably would have his life forfeited due to his glib tongue.

God Zeshion was delayed a little since it took a few seconds to undo his isolation barrier. As soon as he approached us, he nodded his head while opening a teleportation portal behind him.

"Let's go. It'll be dangerous for us if we stay here."

Everyone quickly went through the portal, whose exit was in the sky directly above the southernmost wall. As we exited pretty high in the sky, we could still see the battlefield that was a few dozen kilometers away. They were so far away that they seemed like a black dot along the horizon.

"You think they'd survive?"

I asked to nobody in particular, curious. God Zeshion quickly shook his head sideways.

"I think not. Although I feel sad for having my fight interrupted, that thing is beyond even my power..."

Of course. Heck, I think that even if all of the gods, demigods, and 9th-stage tamers and monsters gathered, we'd basically still be helpless against that angel! The gap in power was just that wide!

Suddenly, a flash occurred near the horizon, surprising us.

"Oh sh—! Brace for impact!"

Zeshion shouted in panic. This was the first time I saw him panic like this, almost making me chuckle in amusement.

The three quickly set up their barriers, but I was a step too late.

"WOAH!"

The explosion beyond the horizon spread a powerful shockwave, which, upon hitting my body, sent me flying like a bullet across the entire country.

When I finally landed, I ended up rolling on the ground like a spinning top before crashing against the northernmost walls. My vision was spinning, and my body ached all over. It was as if I just received a full-on attack from a god-level monster... and that's just from the shockwaves alone!

Unable to move a single finger, I lay flat on the caved-in wall, contemplating my choices in life. If I wasn't distracted by Zeshion's panicking, then I wouldn't have felt this much pain.

'Well, as they say, regret always comes late.'

I heaved a deep sigh while calling for help from the girls. I hope they come fast...
