The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

——The giant volcano in the center of the continent, Kliatis.

This crater is like a scar on the planet that has not yet healed. Countless amounts of lava are surging and roaring inside the mountain, as if it will erupt at any time and submerge everything on the earth.

Human scholars once claimed that if Cliatis erupted completely, 90% of the entire continent would be completely submerged in lava due to the chain reaction of the extended earth veins.

But even if humans want to investigate the situation here, the overly harsh environment of this giant volcano makes ordinary people reluctant to go - because above the mountainside, even monsters cannot stay for a long time.

However, now, in the very center of the crater, there is a huge obsidian castle suspended in mid-air, as if mocking the insignificance of all living beings, waiting for the brave but reckless intruders.

"【boring.】"

"Alas... Your Majesty, this is the thirteenth time you have said this word today."

On the top floor of the castle, on an obsidian throne shrouded by thick smoke and reflecting the brilliance of lava, a woman with gorgeous black and gold hair, wearing a luxurious and solemn black dress with numerous gold ornaments, was leaning elegantly on it... kicking her legs out of boredom and with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Why haven't humans come to attack me yet? Don't they realize that their civilization will soon end?

Standing under the throne was a huge demon with an unusually tall stature, a humanoid body, strong animal arms, and a sheep's head and sheep's hooves that gave it a strange and alluring feel.

Its most conspicuous feature is the pair of huge white curly horns on its head, which look quite heavy.

"Your Majesty, the human army has already gathered at the foot of Mount Kliatis, but there are many nests of high-level monsters in the lower levels of this mountain. If they want to go up the mountain, they must first break through the defenses of those monsters."

"Don't answer her so seriously, Sister Xia Ye! This guy is just looking for trouble!"

Somewhat unexpectedly, there was a woman standing next to the giant demon at this moment - and if you look closely, you will find that she looks exactly like the person on the throne.

"【I am helping you realize your wish, my half body. It was because you said someone would come to attack me that I didn't let Cliatis erupt immediately. But... now I am bored!】"

"Ah... How embarrassing, so embarrassing! What should I do if my husband sees this?"

Listening to the strange friction between the woman next to him and the woman on the throne, the demon with a somewhat terrifying appearance couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.

"Your Majesty, if humans still can't come up, what are your plans?"

"If humans are really so weak and incompetent, then when my sister gets here, I will completely tear this continent apart and sink it to the bottom of the sea."

"You have...a younger sister?"

As if she had mentioned something that made her proud, the woman on the throne suddenly showed a very happy expression.

"[Ah, although she appeared on this planet hundreds of years earlier than me, conceptually she is still my sister.]"

"She's talking about the Star Beast - another special life form bred by this planet."

"【Exactly! If I represent the solid earth, then she is the vast ocean!】"

The demon obviously had no interest in such topics, but it still rubbed its forehead with its thick palms, making a gesture of "I think I understand".

——It now only feels a little mentally tired.

"If you want to reset the surface of the planet, you must combine the powers of the Star Child and the Star Beast. If you rely on that guy alone, the best you can do is to make Kliatis complete a major eruption, causing lava to cover the continent."

The woman standing next to the demon also seemed to be in distress. She kicked the obsidian fragments under her feet with a little annoyance, and glared at the woman who was leaning on the throne and looked exactly like her with disdain.

"So you better be aware of this! If your sister comes with her husband, you will be embarrassed!"

"[Hmph, my half body - have you forgotten that I am actually the blazing flame in your heart? If you hadn't been hiding your true self, I wouldn't have appeared in the world in this form!]"

"Ah, I can't stand it anymore... It's because I know you're actually me that I feel even more embarrassed!"

"...You are probably the only one in the world who can argue with yourself, Your Majesty."

Watching the interaction between the two, the devil couldn't help but feel a headache.

However, the assumption just now...if it eventually comes true, what role should I play then?

……

"Either die here or get out of the border territory... This is the choice I give you."

After the eldest prince and the second prince each publicly announced that the other had murdered Emperor Armand VII and that they were the legitimate heir to the throne, the situation in the border territories of the empire suddenly became chaotic.

The Cadians were still launching attacks, trying to invade the Empire's territory. However, the Fourth Legion stationed here also received assistance from the Third and Fifth Legions, maintaining the current balance.

The honorary earl Jiangyue, who was known as the sage of magic, took the opportunity to start clearing out the honorary nobles who stayed in the border territory.

"Want to expand your master's territory here? Then you'd better be prepared to die here."

After the wise man Jiangyue, who had antlers on his head, publicly announced the news to everyone in the border territory, he immediately raided some honorary nobles who had clear powerful tendencies.

After these people were pierced through with spears, many honorary nobles who had originally planned to take advantage of the situation immediately fled from the border territory.

But then she received a lot of pretty bad but not hopeless news from her companions whom she hadn't contacted for a long time.

"What did you say?! Her Highness the Princess actually... No, it should be safe for Miss Yang to follow her, so there is no need to worry about that. But... the little girl who was beside the Marquis before was actually a monster?"

After realizing that she had been disturbed by some kind of illusion, Jiang Yue immediately mobilized the power of nature and gave her body a rigorous baptism.

Then she cleared up her mental illusions.

"...That little girl shouldn't be hostile. She protects the Marquis more closely than we do. Qianyun...By the way, Qianyun is fine too, right? That's all. Once you find the Marquis, we can discuss the matter of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

My help is not needed there for the time being, so guarding this place for others is also an important task.

But, will this matter really go so smoothly?
