Apocrypha 9 : After the Fall of the Spiritual Realm / The Empire of Fairy Tales

~~After the fall of the Territory~~

<Side : First Apostle, Blair Raise/First Rank – Baal>

『Martyr’s Moon – Day 10 (Morning)』

[Gone…]

While I was training Edward, his body suddenly shone brightly, and he vanished.

[Hey… Blair! What happened over there?]

It was the same for Mel. While she was tied upside down and being trained, a cluster of light enveloped her and she completely disappeared.

Not knowing what was going on, I returned to the Territory, which was being rebuilt after emerging from the Cube, but the situation there was no different.

[B, Blair…? It’s a disaster! A, all the other Sisters have disappeared!]

Clarice said, tearfully hugging me, as I surveyed the landscape of the Territory, where they were busy rebuilding the destroyed buildings.

[The ones who disappeared… are the seven new apostles, excluding the original seven?]

[Muse also suddenly disappeared… What’s going on?]

Elizabeth and Glaishia also couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

[I don’t think it can be a coincidence. Especially since it’s those seven…]

[The Barrier is still active within the Territory. It can’t be the work of outsiders.]

I agree with Rachel and Elaine. It absolutely cannot be a coincidence, nor is it a phenomenon caused by external invasion.

In the first place, those who disappeared included Edward and Herry, who were in a space isolated from reality.

The fact that comrades who shared the same purpose had vanished without a trace… was unbelievable.

But…

[I have a good feeling about this♥]

My Dick is throbbing, and my heart is pounding♥

If seven people disappeared simultaneously without leaving a trace… they must be in the same place♥

The only one who could gather seven apostles in one place is…

–Byururururyut♥♥

[Ahat♥♥]

[B, Blair…!? W, why are you Ejaculating so suddenly…? Slurp♥ Ah… Delicious♥]

I Ejaculated just from imagining it♥

Just a brief glimpse of our great and lewd Mother flashed through my mind… and I Ejaculated magnificently♥

[They’ll definitely come back♥ I’m sure of it♥ Tempered by Her Goddess’s Blessing… in the same form as us♥]

The spiral staircase, the black corridor… and beyond it, the Throne.

Each and every one of them was a precious memory. From human to apostle, from apostle to Demon god.

When we become beings completely subservient to the Goddess, immortal and serving Her for eternity… it will remain a memory that we will never forget, no matter how many times we are reborn♥

–Kwaaaang…!!!

At that moment, a pillar of bright light plunged down towards the back of the Church.

[Wh, what is it…!! Light…? A, ah♥]

Mel is flustered. But there’s no need to be flustered♥

We know what that light is, don’t we?

–Byurururyuryut♥♥

–Pshuuuuut♥♥♥

[Aang♥ S, semen is coming out suddenly♥]

[Hoooot♥ Th, this feeling is… C, could it be♥♥♥]

Everyone in this space Ejaculates simultaneously. Not just me, but Mel, Clarice, Glaishia, Elizabeth, Rachel, Elaine… even the Slave Succubuses♥

Immediately after the descent of the light, each of our Dicks, Ejaculated thick and rich semen, and scattered dense vaginal fluid♥

And… Magical power for exactly seven people can be felt from that place.

[New comrades… The birth of Demon gods♥]

I lick my lips, feeling the compatriots who have awakened to their true forms by the Goddess.

[D, Demon god♥ Ah… I see♥ The disappearance was… the Goddess’s guidance♥]

Starting with Elaine’s words, the others seemed to have realized the reason and intention behind the disappearance.

[That place is… where we were removing the tombstones and installing an Altar for the Goddess, right?]

[Y, yes♥ With Yuz Sister’s Magic, all the souls remaining in the tombstones were turned into ghosts of Slave Succubuses, and the area was demolished to make way for the Altar… Ahut♥ There’s still semen left on my Dick♥]

[Then shall we go…? To welcome our compatriots♥]

In any case, the reconstruction of the Territory seems to be almost finished by the Slave Succubuses.

Although it looks normal on the outside, the inside is full of my Tentacles, and all the materials used to build the buildings were contaminated natural objects by Mel’s Magic.

Satisfied with this place, which has been reborn as a Territory very conducive to welcoming the Goddess, we all headed to the Altar.

[As expected, everyone’s here♥]

In the center of the Altar were seven people collapsed and unconscious.

[Sniff sniff♥ This Scent… It’s the same Scent as us after all♥ They’ve fully awakened as Demon gods♥]

Elizabeth smelled the Scent of the apostles, confirming their awakening as Demon gods once again.

As if proving that they had just been in the Goddess’s abode, they were filled with the Goddess’s Scent and the smell of semen, which I hadn’t smelled in a long time♥

[Come to think of it… the Goddess said that Her power increases as the number of us apostles increases. Now there are 14 of us in total… Has the Goddess’s power increased to some extent?]

Glaishia rested her chin on her hand, looking around at each of the 14 apostles, including herself, and said that.

That’s right… The Goddess certainly said that Her power is amplified by the number of apostles. With this number, She might be able to descend into this world…

[You’re wrong, Glaishia. It’s not 14, it’s 16.]

[Huh?]

[What are you talking about…?]

A voice I’d never heard before. The voice that naturally answered Glaishia’s words was…

[Who are you…? This aura is… an apostle?]

Behind the seven unconscious people stood two figures.

[Yes. That’s right, Rachel. My name is Caroline Christmas. My Demon God Name is Dantalion… a loyal Servant of the Goddess, just like you.]

[Annyong♥ Sisters♥ I’m Frisia Nativity. My Demon God Name is… well, it’s Andromalius♥ I’m the Goddess’s lewd sow, just like Carol♥]

Caroline, who had her blonde hair tied to one side, and Frisia, who had bright green hair spread out gorgeously.

They were people I had never seen before, but I could feel the clear Magical power of an apostle emanating from them, just like us.

[Ahem… Originally, there were 16 of us, so it was right that the Goddess could descend, but…]

[The Goddess said She had something to do, so She sent us♥ Sorry if you’re disappointed♥]

Caroline, with her serious atmosphere, and Frisia, with her frivolous atmosphere.

From the two people with contrasting atmospheres… I could feel the strong Scent of the Goddess. A dense Scent that had been accumulated for quite a long time…♥

Are these really our new comrades sent by the Goddess…?

[More than that… I can feel the Goddess’s power in every corner of the building♥ Just being near the building makes me want to Ejaculate, it’s a fresh experience♥]

[Huhit♥ Hey… Carol♥ I already want to have sex with these kids♥ It’s common sense to have intercourse with family♥ Hurry~~]

[Huu… I’m holding back too, Frisia. But we can only comfortably mingle our bodies after we deliver the Goddess’s message.]

Frisia rubbed her crotch, sending us a sticky gaze. Caroline shook her head, trying to stop Frisia, but she was also aroused so much that her Dick was digging into her underboobs.

[The Goddess’s message is…]

I ask. Does our Goddess, who is our hope and light… have words for us?

[It’s about the ‘something to do’ I mentioned earlier. The Goddess is currently maintaining a Barrier that blocks the surveillance by Hecate Goddess.]

[Hecate Goddess…? Why is that heathen doing that all of a sudden…]

[Whether you believe it or not, the scriptures of the Sea Moon Church~ say that Hecate Goddess is the one who really created the world~]

Frisia answers Clarice’s question.

The scriptures of the Sea Moon Church… I don’t know the details, but even those who don’t believe in the Sea Moon Church know the first verse.

Let there be light… The creation god who created the world in seven days along with those words. Hecate’s creation myth.

[As Frisia said, the world is therefore in the hands of Hecate Goddess. She monitors every move on the ground from above… in the heavens.]

[Wait a minute… then isn’t that a bit strange? If She’s monitoring, then why…]

[That’s right♥ That was a very good question, Elizabeth♥ The answer is… Carol, please♥]

The question raised by Elizabeth was a natural one. We have done so many things to bring the Goddess’s paradise to this world.

If that was something that offended Hecate Goddess Herself, and She was constantly monitoring the earth, there’s no way She wouldn’t know about this, right?

[This Territory has been temporarily cut off from the world since Blair, Clarice, and Mel… acquired the tools containing the Goddess’s Blessing.]

[Ha…? What does that mean…]

Mel is startled. That’s because she was the one who erected the Barrier of Cognitive Interference Magic in this area.

[It’s a literal story. It was an unavoidable choice in order to avoid surveillance and corrupt you. The Goddess squeezed out Her last remaining strength to temporarily cut this place out of the world. The fact that external personnel couldn’t come, and that traffic to external personnel was cut off, was thanks to that.]

[Cut off… then what happens to the cut surface?]

[That’s also a good question, Rachel♥ We engraved an illusion of the same shape as the original on the cut surface♥ And… the Barrier that the Goddess mentioned just now is that illusion♥]

Copying and pasting an illusion of the same shape as the original onto the cut surface… and the Goddess is maintaining that, that’s Her ‘something to do’…

[Getting back to the main point… the Goddess has asked you for a favor.]

[She said to create a wave of Depravity in the world until the abominable Goddess’s eyes roll back,♥]

[A wave of Depravity…]

[The Goddess said that even after the illusion disappears and this Territory is reattached to the original world, we will be able to buy some time thanks to Her power.]

Buy time… that means…

[That means She wants us to act quickly… right, Caroline, Frisia?]

[Clap clap clap♥ Blair is correct♥♥ Hmm… She said that about a week is the maximum. By then, we have to capture the main strongholds of this world and dye them with the Goddess’s Blessing♥]

Frisia affirms with an exaggerated gesture.

[I’m glad you understand quickly. That’s right. A deadline of one week… During that time, Hecate Goddess will feel that the things that come out of this Territory are no different from existing humans.]

[Does that mean that our actions as apostles will not be detected by Hecate Goddess?]

[Yes. She will judge that our raping and corrupting other humans is a normal reproductive act.]

Ha… that Goddess is so incompetent♥ She doesn’t notice that Her world is being eaten away, and She has to face the sight of Depravity♥

[So… I’m going to tell you now. There are a total of four main strongholds in this world that need to be corrupted.]

Strongholds… So our new destination is being decided♥

[We strongly recommend that the 16 of us be appropriately divided and dispatched to the Empire of the Western Continent, the Kingdom and Academy of the Eastern Continent, and the Demon World that stretches across the South and North.]

[It would be great if we could organize the team with people who have been there or are from there♥]

~~The Empire of Fairy Tales~~

<Side : ALL>

In the center of the vast desert. A great empire lined with massive walls and magnificent buildings.

In the Ishtar Empire, everyone was holding their breath, watching the direction of the blade that cut through the wind.

“Haaaah…!!”

“Kuh…”

With her shimmering purple hair fluttering, the woman’s beautiful swordsmanship came crashing down fiercely.

The man on the other side could not counterattack at all, and could only barely defend against the woman’s continuous attacks.

“This is the end…!”

–Chaeeeng…!!

“Kuaaaack…!!”

The translucent purplish blade cut through the opponent’s armor in an instant, and the man, who was several times larger than the woman, fell pathetically.

“Will you fight more?”

“I, I surrender…”

Hearing the declaration of surrender, she dropped her sword towards the man. As soon as the purplish blade left her hand, it turned into fine grains of sand and disappeared on the wind.

The woman, with a slight upturn of her lips, raised her hand high to announce her victory.

“”Waaaaaaa!!!!””

The roar of the crowd shook the arena, and the enthusiasm for the match was further heightened.

“Let’s give a thunderous applause to both players who played a great match! And please congratulate them! The winner of this martial arts tournament… Scheherazade is none other than Princess Materi!!”

Brushing off the sand dust on her body, the woman called Materi helps the fallen man up.

How much training she had done to win the martial arts tournament. She smiles contentedly at the fruition of her efforts.

“Hoo… Last time, that child’s Avi was Aladdin, but this time, his daughter has seized Scheherazade. The imperial family’s bloodline is quite tenacious.”

And… two shadows watching Materi, who is being congratulated, from above.

“Bloodline is one thing, but it’s hard to ignore her own efforts. Don’t you think so, Miel?”

“Hmph… You may think so, but the public… my followers, the imperial citizens, won’t think so. Lily.”

The fox ears perked up, and the being called Miel made a listless expression.

Next to her, a boy named Lily with rabbit ears, holding a Lantern, stared at the stadium with a blank face.

“That sounds like the imperial citizens are about to revolt against the imperial family. Even so, isn’t it disqualification as a Divine Beast to plunge your own country into war?”

“Hmph…! An incompetent rabbit god can’t understand my grand intentions.”

The identities of these two arguing beings were Divine Beasts. Spiritual beings that protect the empire and bestow Blessings.

“Soon, the empire will undergo a generational change. The current imperial family will step down, and someone with new ambitions will seize the Throne.”

“That’s… the excuse of the culprit who stirred up the trouble at the Academy. I understand.”

Lily glanced at the fox ears and disappeared into the Lantern.

“Foolish one. You can only exist because I exist… I only did everything to survive.”

Looking at the place where even the Lantern had disappeared, Miel also sighed deeply, unfolded her fan, and disappeared.

“Arc. How’s the defense of Jericho Fortress?”

“Yes. Father! Jericho Fortress is normal today! The maintenance was completed without any problems!”

Changing the scene again…

Two people were walking through the luxurious corridor of the imperial castle.

A girl with her wine-colored hair tied up adorably walked briskly, shouting loudly next to a man wearing a white gown.

“Yes. That’s a relief. It seems like something big is going to happen soon. We have to be fully prepared, Arc.”

“B, big deal? Father never tells me what’s going to happen properly…”

“I’m sorry, my daughter. But sometimes there are things that must be kept secret. That’s the case now.”

The doctor, stroking Arc’s head, who was feeling depressed, smiled faintly.

“Come to think of it… I found something interesting in the fairy tale book I read with the Shrine Maiden last time!”

“A fairy tale… what is it?”

“Jericho Fortress is a structure built with Ancient magic, like the buildings of the Academy, so it doesn’t budge against any attacks and repels Magic!”

Arc excitedly told the man about the fairy tale she had read with an excited voice.

“But in that fairy tale, it collapsed futilely with just one trumpet sound… It was because it received some kind of God’s punishment… Augh… A, Father…?”

The legend about the fortress. It was the man who interrupted her by messing up Arc’s hair, who was about to say more about it.

“Fairy tales are just fairy tales. It’s a story that goes hand in hand with the children’s folk tale called the Ten Plagues.”

“But…”

“Arc. Aren’t you the daughter of this Patient? Let’s put the fairy tales aside for a while. You have your own grand dream, don’t you?”

The doctor who called himself Patient. His tone was kind and warm, but it was extremely cold.

Leaving Arc, who was feeling sullen, behind, changing the place again…

“Hic…”

In a desolate oasis shrouded in smoke, a woman wept. Surrounding her were swords stained with blood and flesh, corroding away, numbering hundreds, thousands… no, exceeding tens of thousands.

The swords varied in age, ranging from those crafted with lost ancient forging techniques to those made by modern blacksmiths.

This proved that this woman had fought with countless swords over many years.

“I don’t want to anymore… things like this…”

Her yellow eyes had lost their spark, filled only with melancholy and despair.

As if she had lost the will to live, she frantically scratched her wrists with her fingernails and even strangled herself with both hands, but like magic, the wounds healed, and the scars disappeared.

–Thud… Thud… Thud…

“Hiek…!”

Hearing the footsteps approaching the oasis, she turned around in surprise, her face contorted with even more despair.

“Is Creyss here? Hmm… you were hurting yourself again.”

The one who visited the oasis was dressed modestly, but his dignified bearing revealed that he held a high position.

“Yo, Your Majesty… your arrival… does that mean…”

“Yes. I don’t need to explain at length. Soon, there will be a war with the kingdom. I need your strength then. At the height of the battle, appear in the middle of the battlefield and annihilate the kingdom’s forces.”

“No… no…”

“There is no right to refuse. This is an ancient contract between the Imperial Family’s ancestor… Aladdin, the Elemental of Smoke, and Craise Seherablade.”

Creyss vehemently shook her head, refusing the Emperor’s command, but she had no way out.

Creyss constantly regretted it. Back then… her words that she would grant three wishes in the distant past.

“I’ll come again when the time comes. Wait here until my command. Hmm… you’ve neglected the weapons I gave you recently. I’ll send you new swords. You must be fully prepared.”

“Hic… Hooo…”

The Emperor disappeared, and Creyss’s tears fell into the oasis. Smoke swirled, and her dwelling became hidden from everyone.

And lastly…

“Feisis. I am truly grateful to you for many things.”

“…It’s nothing. Th, Sooltaan…? Is that how you pronounce it?”

“Hahaha!! Yes. Yes. Call me that. From now on, that’s what I’ll be called!”

The sacred Altar where the Divine Beast was enshrined.

A small girl with skin as pale as a corpse and a man, plump with fat and adorned with extravagant jewelry, were talking.

“But what do you… expect from me, Sultan?”

“Hahaha! Isn’t it obvious? I raised you to become a Shrine Maiden who serves the Divine Beast, and that Divine Beast has given me power, knowledge, and wealth!”

The fat man laughed flippantly at Feisis, who asked with pure intentions.

“Fox Divine… yes… it certainly did. I don’t know why I became a Shrine Maiden, but anyway, I’m glad I could be of help to the Sultan.”

She was a pure child, like a blank sheet of paper. A transparent girl who knew nothing of the world’s negativity or feuds.

A being who seemed to embody ‘good,’ diligently repaying the kindness of being taken in.

“Soon, the Empire will be a little turbulent.”

“In that case… Princess Materi and Arc will be alright, right?”

“Arc, huh… that Garrison Commander will be fine. Princess Materi too… Khaha! Of course, she’ll be safe!”

When Princess Materi was mentioned, Feisis didn’t see his expression. To be precise, the man had turned his back to Feisis at that point.

“This remote Altar is now farewell. Before long, I will set up a tremendous new Altar inside the Imperial Palace.”

“A new Altar… I’m fine as I am, though. Hehe…”

“Hahaha…! It won’t do for my reputation. I must do that much, since the girl I raised has become a Shrine Maiden.”

“When the Altar is newly built, I’ll have to call Princess Materi and Arc there again to read them fairy tales.”

In Feisis’s mind, a happy future was drawn, where the three of them gathered and chatted harmoniously.

“Yes… I sincerely hope that will happen, Feisis.”

“Yes! I hope the Sultan succeeds too! I don’t know what it is… but anyway!”

“Good. Good! I feel energized now that I’ve received the Shrine Maiden’s support!”

The man laughed heartily. Feisis smiled innocently, unaware of what ambitions he held.

What would become of the Empire in the future?

What kind of ending would the seven new men and women face…?

That was…

[Of course, it’s decided♥ To be reborn as my lewd and vulgar child♥]
