Combat Maid Harem

Hearing her say that she was pregnant, Lawrend waved his hand. He used his knowledge of the natural laws of life and scanned her stomach.

A few seconds later, he sensed a faint life inside of her.

It was not a normal form of life. It contained a series of laws that guided it to its being.

Lawrend quickly realized what was going on.

Since he had gotten into this world and encountered so many forms of natural laws, he had accumulated many of them in his body. As a consequence, it was natural for his child to be blessed by these natural laws.

"You are indeed pregnant. Since you aren’t a demon anymore, you didn’t need my soul." Lawrend smiled.

Juju slightly opened her eyelids and stared at him. She saw that he wasn’t lying, and an odd feeling filled her heart.

"I’m glad…"

She said only two words, but they elicited an unspeakable amount of emotion. The relief she felt slowly brought her body to a sleepy state, and she closed her eyes.

"This child will perhaps become a god."

Lawrend whispered as he looked up at the cavern’s exit. The sun had set long ago, and a chilly breeze stirred the cave’s interior.

He cleaned up Juju with a wave of water magic and left the cave with her in his arms, in a princess’s carry. He flew up high and surveyed the lands.

Rivers snaked across vast distances, mountains towered over areas, forests hid the unknown, and an expansive ocean separated several continents from each other.

"Am I not a god already?" Lawrend asked himself.

With a thought, he could reshape the lands and drain the seas. Since this was his own world, any and everything in it was controllable for him.

"Gods… what do they even mean?" Lawrend chuckled and took a step.

As he left the world, he recalled Alissaskiya Mgarikala Pearlokiero’s achievement of becoming a god. Her steps were so similar to Lawrend’s path. She realized early on that she could put magic in her soul.

And then, she became a Sub-God by using the movement of the stars as a foundation. Then, when she was enlightened, she became a God directly.

"A Sub-God prepares themself to become a God by mimicking the natural world. So, to become a God, one must create their own world."

Lawrend paused his steps. Glancing behind him, he saw the faint, blurry outline of his world.

"No." He continued walking. "A God is someone who has fully achieved a magical soul. They have plucked themself out of the natural order of the universe. They create their souls from scratch with their natural soul as the basis…"

Lawrend stopped once again. He could already see the outline of the Demon World.

"Then why did the Goddess want me to become her Sub-God? Why did she tell me those things? Does she really have ill will toward me?"

Lawrend’s thoughts rewinded to his past experiences—everything down to the minute detail that he could remember.

He sensed the Soul Contract he still had with the Goddess and recalled the scenes of destruction he saw when he made a Soul Contract with her. Technically, he still had a part of her soul with him.

"The Goddess will reset the world once they become close to reaching her level. So… why did she want me to become her Sub-God?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this point, it started to become obvious to Lawrend as to what was happening.

"The Goddess wants me to be her Sub-God so that I don’t challenge her… It was a trick all along!"

Lawrend gritted his teeth. The Soul Contract was still in him.

The ’He’ she had been talking about back then should have been the Creator of the universe. Lawrend still had no idea why he wanted him to become strong.

Since she and he had made a Soul Contract, then it was virtually impossible to reverse that. He was now destined to become her Sub-God.

"...I hate this."

Lawrend shook his head and took one more step.

Just like he walked through a bubble, he appeared in the Demon World or more aptly called the Spirit World. It was mostly recovered from the effects of its return to normality.

"Master!" x10

"Father!" Veronica shouted.

Aezel quickly flew to his side and took Juju from his arms. She nodded at him to tell him that she would take care of Juju.

Lawrend thanked her with a smile.

Since Juju was taken care of, Lawrend faced his maids and his children.

"This next fight will be harder than ever. First, I will step into the Sub-God stage. A Heaven Mage like me could only do so much."

Lawrend looked at them and saw their reactions. Contrary to his expectations, they appeared relieved.

"We trust you, Master," Aleshia said.

The others nodded their heads.

"We were worried you would fight her without becoming stronger first," Elena explained.

They knew that he would first try to become stronger, but their emotions were irrational. They couldn’t help but worry that he would be reckless. They had these feelings because they loved him.

"Hahaha. You all know I’m not that stupid, right?" Lawrend joked.

"We knew, Master. We just wanted to hear it from your mouth," Ember answered.

"Alright. I shall now attempt to become a Sub-God." Lawrend smiled at them.

Confidence filled his whole being. He looked at the Spirit World and felt that this world would be a waste not to have a God, or at least, a healthy avatar.

"I, Lawrend Horiel Ignis, shall offer the avatar of the Spirit World a chance of revival if it promises to become my servant!"

He propelled his thoughts out to the ground, trees, mountains, clouds, ocean, and other elements of the Spirit World.

The world rumbled. A powerful presence that was akin to a whole world slowly gathered into being. It formed a singular eye with a large gash in its center.

"Ye’ has returned thy essence. Speak thee terms."
