Combat Maid Harem

"You should ask him," Reavire said.

"Yeah. I will do that," Lawrend replied.

Lawrend said his temporary farewells and flew. He slowly flew until he was out of their vision.

Once they couldn't see him, Lawrend used his fastest speed and exited the Human World.

Outer space silently greeted Lawrend. The emptiness and the blazing heat emitted by the sun tried to sear his flesh. Thankfully, he was a God, as the heat would be enough to fry an Arch Mage to a crisp in an hour.

"Darkness…"

After creating his world, Lawrend learned where the Darkness Mana accumulated in a planetary system.

He found a clump of Darkness Mana—a crystal so pure it resembled an obsidian, yet it had the blackest of blacks. No one would have been able to find it unless they were at Lawrend's level, a God, so to speak.

Why was he doing this, you asked? Well, he wanted to give rings to his maids.

"Aleshia, done."

Lawrend stared off into the void surrounding the planetary system.

"It will be fine," Lawrend whispered to himself, assuring him of his journey.

Lawrend passed through several planets, all of which were unsuitable for life, and arrived at the outermost edges of the planetary system. Asteroids and dust from the olden years of the planetary systems floated and bumped into each other.

A single step and Lawrend would be outside. Just reaching this point took Lawrend an entire day.

At this point, the sun had become nowhere as bright. At the same time, the energy of the Human World, mana, had grown thin. There was barely any of it left.

"So this is a planetary system…"

Lawrend hadn't explored much of his own planetary system.

If he had been able to create one, Lawrend wondered where his planetary system existed among the countless stars in the universe. How did it appear once he created it?

Lawrend never saw it appear in the void. He only sensed it become real, and then he was able to travel to it.

"There are so many mysteries out there… What lies beyond the universe?"

Lawrend's rising ego humbled at the thought of the vast beyond. He had heard vague mentions of it but never anything concrete about what was outside.

"The Great Nothingness Void exists between universes. It contained everything that ever is and ever will be. It is an infinite greater than the infinite universe."

Now that Lawrend had become a god, he truly sensed the scale of infinity. In the past, the Creator's explanation of it to him felt vague.

"Soon, I will be there, and I will find out."

Lawrend sensed the slight rejection enveloping his body. If he focused on it enough, it would take him out of the universe—presumably, taking his world with him.

After admiring the vast emptiness for a while, Lawrend stepped out.

Outside the planetary system, space fluctuated without the sun's gravity to smooth it out. These fluctuations have given birth to gems made of crystallized space.

Lawrend sensed their existence earlier. He initially planned to give something else to Ella, but he changed his mind.

Lawrend opened his hand, and he held an invisible gem. It was pretty small, too small to be turned into a ring.

He threw it away and proceeded deeper into the void between stars. The fluctuations of space grew stronger and stronger. They became waves, and their sources were from all over the universe.

At some points, many of these waves collided and created a gem made of crystallized space. Many of these gems were small and eventually turned back to normal space.

After a few days of searching, Lawrend stumbled upon one. However, it was seven meters in diameter—too big.

"Oh, boy."

Lawrend waved his hand, and his maid energy sliced the space gem. He split off a piece as big as his fist.

After getting what he wanted, Lawrend took one last look at the empty space. He opened a door and stepped inside.

Lawrend returned to the Human World.

"Woah…"

Lawrend held his head. A wave of nausea hit him. He understood the reason as soon as he felt it.

The space in the void between the stars was chaotic, and stepping out of it was like stepping onto dry land under a stormy sea. The sudden shift in stableness was the cause of his nausea.

Lawrend hadn't experienced anything like this in the other universe because he was never able to become a God in that universe. All natural laws were suppressed, and all he had was a weird energy similar to the mana of the Human World.

After a quick recovery, Lawrend continued his search for materials. He collected slimes, visited thunderclouds, found lightning rocks, diamonds, gold, fossilized sap, a gem from the sun, phoenix feathers, and silver.

Furthermore, he created a magic ring for Nao. It had special effects to help with her fire control for her potion-making. It could even protect her if she was in danger.

The most challenging gift to find was for Reavire. He thought of a few things, like an item from the other universe they had been to, but it was impossible to get any. He was still too weak to traverse the gap between universes.

"This will do."

Lawrend picked up a stone. It released a soft light and a divine will emanated from it. It was a lucky find and a one-and-only piece.

After collecting the materials, Lawrend set to work crafting a pair of rings for each of his maids. He created one for himself and one for them.

This would be the longest and biggest wedding in history. Lawrend wanted to show everyone watching the wedding that his women were special to him.

Each material composing their rings perfectly suited their specialties or abilities.

As a God, carving these materials was simple. Before long, he had them finished. The part that took the longest time was engraving them with magic formations to give them healing and protection abilities.

Lawrend wanted his maids to look at these rings and remember his love.

"Time to propose."
