My avatar is the heroine

The demons knew fear. The girl before them was different from all their enemies. She didn't seem strong in terms of pure power, but the aura she exuded at this moment was comparable to that of a god.

It roared and desperately tried to escape. But with Abigail's cry of "Radiant Tree!" countless tentacles stretched out and instantly expanded, completely enveloping the wailing demon.

Its mental cognition underwent a severe breakdown, and even Abby herself could not understand the cause of the other's death.

After the Noble Phantasm was unleashed, Abigail experienced a moment of disorientation... because she heard a voice coming from Bubbles.

"solved."

After that brief moment, everything fell silent.

The girl standing here had her eyes closed, and only the keyhole was still gleaming.

Kuroko seemed to have been contaminated, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

"Was that Yog-Sothoth just now? I love it!"

[Host, please don't joke like that. The other party is extremely dangerous.]

"Okay, so is it possible that He could hurt me at any moment?"

Judging from Abigail's relationship with Him, this is unlikely. Abigail's rank wouldn't be much lower than X's, given the involvement of Outer Gods. Yog-Sothoth, on the other hand, might inexplicably bestow knowledge upon you, the corruption of which is extremely terrifying. Based on its methods, Yog-Sothoth might become interested in your other avatars, and it's possible it might force itself upon you in some way, resulting in offspring.

"puff."

Black Eyes vomited.

That's terrifying! They even forced intercourse?

Of course I will protect you.

The system said again.

"Hey, system, are you trying to boost my favorability?"

The system did not answer.

"What is the relationship between Bubble and Abby?"

[My own daughter.]

"Hiss... If I am His daughter, how could He do such a thing? This devil..."

Well, for the sake of her image, she ultimately didn't continue.

……

Kuro returned to Riku's side and said softly, "Let's go."

"Demon species..."

"It's resolved." This simple statement sparked Riku's deep curiosity about the girl.

Chapter 340 Residential Area

Humanity's current situation is somewhat pathetic; when encountering any non-human creature, our only option is to flee. As for resistance... at least so far, we haven't seen any success.

Yes, they are that weak.

Riku was very talented, which was why he was able to become the leader of everyone. But as the leader, he bore the fate of the entire tribe on his shoulders, and when necessary, he had to painfully order some wounded or less likely to survive to their deaths in order to ensure the survival of more people.

He had experienced too much of the helplessness of sacrificing 999 to save 1001.

……

"This is where we live."

Riku led Kurome to a dark cave and said to her with a smile.

"Oh, do you three usually live together?" Although she knew the other party was lying, Kurohime didn't expose her. Instead, she walked to a rock nearby and sat down quietly.

Actually, it wouldn't be difficult to get Riku and the others to take him to the actual settlement. After all, even a machine-type character like Shubi, who isn't human, was accepted upon their first meeting.

Having saved Ivan's life, she was more likely to gain the favor of several people.

"Please wait a moment, I'll get some food."

Seeing the people in this state, she felt that the people of this world must be living in poverty, which meant that they couldn't enjoy many delicious foods. Sometimes, the era in which one is born can determine one's fate.

"This one is named Rikka Takanashi, and she is also human."

Every revelation of their abilities made them more vigilant, but none of the three were fools. They knew that no living being was ever willing to help humans, and it was already incredible that they hadn't ruthlessly killed the pitiful weaklings, regardless of where Kurohime and the others came from.

Rikka created seemingly normal foods like hamburgers, chicken wings, and French fries, and ate them in front of the group.

"You guys come too, don't worry, it's safe."

The three men glanced at each other, and Riku nodded to Ivan, who then stepped forward with a death-defying expression, picked up a sandwich, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Wow!"

"What's wrong?" Riku asked quickly.

"Delicious, super delicious!" Ivan didn't hold back and devoured the entire sandwich in a few bites.

There seems to be no problem.

The other two also started eating.

Just as he said, it was a delicacy.

Seeing that the others were relaxing their guard, a triumphant glint flashed across Black Eyes' lips.

This is food diplomacy. Compared to directly influencing people's minds through Misaki Shokuhou, this proactive way of gaining trust is much more genuine.

Sure enough, after a hearty meal, the three of them, including Riku, started chatting quite freely with Kurohime.

But this guy didn't reveal any intention of taking me to the settlement area.

"So does that mean I'm treated completely differently from Hugh?"

She sighed.

Sure enough, after a while, there was nothing more that could be done.

However, once it became clear that Kurohime was not in any danger, especially after encountering orcs along the way and Kurohime managed to kill three of them with her Yafusa sword, Riku decided to trust her.

There was no way to disbelieve it. Killing three such dangerous enemies meant provoking the entire orc race. They might send something to investigate the cause of their companion's death, and if they were unlucky, it would involve the human race.

But Riku didn't know that the beastman that Kurome had deliberately let escape was forcibly changed by Misaki Shokuhou, who was lying in ambush there, after it had gone a few kilometers away. She believed that the one attacking them was a forest elf and also changed the location of the battle.

After spending several hours in the cave, the four prepared to continue their journey.

When he stepped out of the cave and saw them wearing black hoods, Kuro-tomi suddenly realized what the root of his suspicion was.

She is not afraid of black and gray.

It was like walking in a terrifying liquid sulfuric acid. A normal person would have their skin corroded away in a very short time, but this girl who claimed to be human was completely unharmed.

Perhaps because they were too powerful, none of the three humans had any intention of resisting.

This is also the way humans treat other races: if they can't win, they just wait to die; resistance is meaningless.

"You... take off your hoods, I'll help you fight off the Black Ash."

Kurohime deliberately whistled, and Rikka, who had been following them on the distant mountain, flew down and landed in front of them.

A buff was applied to three people.

"Take it off."

Riku paused, carefully tending to the wound, and tried to peek his head out a tiny bit. Sure enough, when a small speck of black ash landed on him, he wasn't hurt at all.

"Ivan, you should take it off first, I'm still a little uncomfortable," he said on the spot.

"..."

Why does it feel like Ivan is becoming just a tool?

Thinking about it carefully, it's truly tragic; they can't even control their own lives. They've sacrificed so much for the continuation of their race.

Ivan did as instructed without any hesitation.

As for Kurohime, she pulled Rikka to her side and said, "Just treat her as my friend."

After saying that, Rikka immediately introduced herself: "I am Takanashi Rikka, you can just call me Rikka."

"Rikka, you're really quite cute." Ale was rather cheerful and clearly more interested in Rikka. I wonder if he's a lolicon, he was so excited.

"Aren't you going to take me to the real settlement? You can't reproduce without women. Surely three men can reproduce, right?" Rikka said with a disdainful expression, turning her head away.

Liku felt a bit of pressure. He analyzed the situation actively and concluded that the other party had no malicious intent.

If you really want to harm humans, it's not that complicated.

In fact, no species has ever truly considered humans a significant species. Like ants on the roadside, though they are constantly trampled by passersby, how many of them do so intentionally?

"Let me take you to see the other people; they're not far from here."

Liku made up his mind and began running towards the territory where his people lived.

Humans have always been a small species, and are constantly at risk of extinction, making them a truly endangered species.

Black Eyes immediately followed behind.

After traveling a relatively short distance, she came across a hidden human settlement.

"Riku!"

Standing inside the enormous cave, having just taken a few steps forward, an excited shout came from within.

Kurohime looked ahead and saw a red-haired girl rush up and hug Riku tightly.

"Klonie," Riku called out, his voice filled with mixed emotions.

"Honestly, Riku, you've been gone for so long! How long are you going to keep me worried?" the girl huffed. "Didn't I tell you to call me 'older sister'?"

Chapter 341 A Sudden Encounter

While the two remained silent, the voice of a cute child came from behind.

“Liku, Yare, and Dad.”

Upon seeing his daughter, Ivan immediately opened his arms and excitedly embraced her.

"Nongna, how are you? Are you alright?"

"Yes, of course, I'm learning to draw and write!" the little girl said happily.

“Awesome!”

Ivan stroked his daughter's head, a tear in his eye. He had almost left this world, leaving his daughter to lose herself completely.

At that moment, Chloe noticed the two girls standing behind her.

“Riku, so…so cute, they are…”

Before Riku could speak, Chronie rushed up and hugged Rikka Takanashi, stroking her head and rubbing her face against Rikka's.

“K... Chronie, this is not right. They are our saviors. Takanashi Rikka, and this is Kurome.”

“Is that so?” Chronie nodded, then looked at Rikka’s adorable expression, suddenly raised an eyebrow, and revealed a strange smile. “Hehehe, could it be that they are your…brides?”

"The bride? No, listen to me..."

"Don't be shy. In this day and age, having children is the most important thing. Riku is really something, finding two at once. Tonight... hehehehe."

With her gossip-loving heart burning brightly, Kloni poked her brother's shoulder, her expression growing increasingly wicked.

"No... really, even you, as the older sister, should at least show some respect to both of them." Riku was a little worried, afraid that Rikka and Kurome would get angry because of such an offensive remark.

however……

"Holy crap, it's so soft."

Rikka, feeling slightly suffocated from being rubbed, took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Riku's older sister is quite something, though not as well-endowed as the ever-growing Misaki Shokuhou.

She's the kind of older sister so many people dream of.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Because of Riku's reminder, she became a little more serious and took the initiative to let go of her hand, but she still had some expectations for her younger brother's future.

Rikka is indeed human, that seems to be true. Her tolerance for Riku is absolute; even if he brought back a person of a different race, she wouldn't blame him in the slightest.

However, she couldn't possibly be unaware that such unknown people often pose a danger.

"I don't mind." Rikka shook her head at this moment.
