Doomsday Chat Group: Conquering the Multiverse Heroines

Ren accompanying the beauties on shopping and entertainment wasn't without its 'wages'. For example, Leone and Chelsea dragged him to the Ferris wheel. After they came down, their steps were a bit wobbly, leading one to believe they were afraid of heights. Mine just sniffed them both and immediately glared at Ren with a flushed face. Sheele and Najenda exchanged knowing glances, each with their own thoughts. Kurome looked at her dazed sister, unsure what she was thinking.

Ren completely pretended not to notice. He pulled Nezuko to the haunted house; the haunted house and Nezuko were a perfect match. He went to the restroom with Eriri, a routine the two were already accustomed to. During meals, he sat between the two Megumi, who took turns feeding him. When watching movies, Kie and Tamayo sat on either side of him, and Cocolia sat on his lap. Everyone had a fulfilling and satisfying day.

After a full day of playing, everyone was exhausted. Kato Megumi went home. She wanted to stay with Ren, but she was also afraid of her parents worrying. As for Chito and Yuuri, they stayed in the last empty room at Yukino's house. This was Yukino's own suggestion; she also had a good impression of the two girls. The two girls, still a little dazed, moved in.

At home, Kanae was still showering. However, a Doom Companion notification appeared in the Chat Group.

Doom Companion: New Mission

[Doom Companion]: Six-person trip

[Companion Time]: 5 days

[Companions]: Ren Kazama, Reinhardt, Seitenshi, Tendou Kisara, Exusiai, Shinobu Kocho

[Companion Mission]: Try your best to kill Gastrea.

The usual Doom Companion mission was, as expected, to kill Gastrea.

[Doom Companion]: End of the World

[Companion Time]: Unlimited

[Companions]: Unlimited

[Companion Mission]:

Eliminate the Gastrea virus. Eliminate the darkness in the world.

The 'End of the World' mission, however, surprised him. Besides eliminating the Gastrea virus, there was also eliminating the darkness in the world? This was the first time such a strange mission appeared. Ren's eyes flickered. He couldn't be blamed; the Chat Group even wanted him to govern that world.

Exusiai: "Oh ho, Seitenshi, Tendou Kisara, did you see that?"

Tendou Kisara: "Yes."

Seitenshi: "What does this mean?"

March 7th: "It means they are about to go to your world to complete the Doom Companion."

Exusiai: "Do you remember what Ren said before? The darkness of the world? I wonder if you are mentally prepared?"

Tendou Kisara: "I don't care. I think the Tendou family must be included in that darkness, right? As long as they die, I'll be fine with anything."

Seitenshi: "..."

The Seitenshi was speechless, her mind complex. She thought of all the dark deeds in this world. For a moment, she was unable to refute.

Ren: "I can only say don't blame me. If the Chat Group thinks it's dark, then it must be dark."

Reinhardt: "Ren-san, if possible, please give me some time to witness that world with my own eyes."

Ren: "No problem. Five days is more than enough time for you to get a good look at that world, though it won't change my final decision."

Reinhardt: "I understand."

Ren: "Without further ado, let's depart directly."

Exusiai: "Received."

Reinhardt: "Yes, I am ready."

Shinobu Kocho: "I'm ready too!"

*****

As soon as Ren and the two others appeared, they found themselves in a seemingly ordinary room. It startled Tendou Kisara. Her first reaction was to draw her sword.

Ren spoke: "Calm down, we are from the Chat Group."

Tendou Kisara stared at the three. After a while, she put away her sword and said incredulously, "Are you really from the Otherworld? Is the Chat Group real?" Even now, she hadn't fully believed in the existence of the Doomsday Chat Group. Indeed, no normal person could easily believe in things like the Otherworld.

Shinobu Kocho first glanced at the red-haired man in white attire beside her. That should be Reinhardt. She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the young girl in front of her. Long black hair, plus a black school sailor uniform. "Is this Seitenshi-san, or Tendou Kisara-san?"

Tendou Kisara put away her sword and said indifferently, "Tendou Kisara."

"I am Reinhardt." One could tell at a glance that he was a serious and humble person.

"Shinobu Kocho." She looked like a gentle older sister.

"I am Exusiai!" An... angel! Tendou Kisara was surprised by Exusiai's appearance. Only after Exusiai explained did she recover.

"Just call me Ren."

After Ren's introduction, Tendou Kisara's gaze locked onto him.

"Do you have any questions?" Ren saw the information in her eyes.

Tendou Kisara: "Are you really a god?"

Ren shook his head: "I am not. Aqua in the group is a true goddess of water. Although I am not a god, I can indeed destroy this planet."

"..."

Tendou Kisara hesitated and said, "Will Tendo Kikunojo and those people from the Tendou family be killed?"

"I don't know. Those who pass my screening will not die." Ren did not give her a direct answer. "Aren't you going to see this world? Go and see it." She wanted to say more, but Ren didn't give her the chance. All she wanted to say was to hope that Ren would kill Tendo Kikunojo and her other enemies. Ren was no longer interested in this matter.

After going out, the sunlight in the sky was not bright.

"Where is Seitenshi-san?" Exusiai asked.

"She's probably too close to be teleported. Let's ignore her for now and go explore this city. Perhaps you'll see something."

Ren thought of a question and asked Reinhardt: "Are your blessings effective here too?"

Reinhardt felt it for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, most of them are fine."

Tsk. Ren clicked his tongue. His blessings were fine across worlds, something Aqua's divine power of faith couldn't achieve. Gods of faith indeed had big problems.

*****

This city was quite dilapidated. Its edges were surrounded by tall walls. Hranium metal was mixed within them. Just as the demons in Shinobu Kocho's world feared sunlight and were affected by wisteria flowers, Gastrea also had a substance that was their natural enemy: Hranium. This metallic element could hinder the healing of Gastrea wounds. The giant walls outside the city were also called Monoliths. They were huge defensive walls made of dozens of metal blocks mixed with Hranium, surrounding various areas to prevent Gastrea invasions, also known as barriers.

Along the way, they saw the oppressive atmosphere of this city. But it seemed to be only the fear of Gastrea. Just when Reinhardt thought something was wrong, they saw two men in law enforcement uniforms dragging a ragged girl into a dark alley.

"..."

Tendou Kisara and Ren naturally knew what that was. The uninformed Exusiai, Shinobu Kocho, and Reinhardt, however, frowned.

"Let's go take a look." The righteous Reinhardt directly chased after them. They heard the sound of fists hitting flesh and angry curses.

"Haha, look what we caught? Another smelly rat."

"Tsk tsk, there are a lot of rats this month. One piece of bread was enough to bait her. Let's beat her to death."

"What a monster, still daring to glare at me with your bloody cursed eyes? Watch me dig out your eyeballs!"

"Stop!" The two law enforcement officers stopped swinging their batons. The one who stopped them was a blue-haired young man. Beside him was a girl with long orange-red hair, tied into twin pigtails with rabbit hair ties. The girl glared with blood-red eyes, clenching her fists, wanting to rush forward. At the feet of the two law enforcement officers lay a girl whose clothes were tattered and covered in blood, and whose breath was faint. Looking at the bloodstains on the law enforcement officers' shoes and batons, it was clear that the girl had suffered inhuman beatings.

Seeing this scene, Exusiai and Shinobu Kocho immediately felt uncomfortable and wanted to go up and rescue the girl. Even Reinhardt was about to step forward to stop them. He wanted to move but found himself unable to move at all. Ren, with his starry eyes wide open, said faintly: "Take a good look at this world."

No one noticed their existence. The blue-haired young man was Satomi Rentaro, and the girl beside him was Aihara Enju.

"Hmm?" One of the law enforcement officers raised an eyebrow, his ferocious face filled with displeasure, especially when he saw the girl beside the man. "Red eyes? Damn monster."

"Shut up! This young lady is an Initiator, a human!" the girl retorted loudly.

"What Initiator, aren't you just a Cursed Child? A monster still dares to call itself human, don't be ridiculous." The other law enforcement officer looked disdainful, even extremely disgusted. "Just like this monster." Saying that, he kicked the girl on the ground again.

Both were girls with red eyes. Such girls were called Cursed Children.

Cursed Children are children born when the mother ingested the Gastrea virus during pregnancy, causing the virus to accumulate in the fetus, possessing certain Gastrea abilities. Thus, these cursed children were hated and persecuted by most people. Originally, the gender of the fetus could not be chosen. However, due to some unknown influence brought about by the Gastrea virus, all known Gastrea virus-infected children are girls. Their eyes turn red when they use their abilities. When they unleash their abilities or are injected with bodily fluids, the Gastrea virus invasion rate within their bodies gradually increases. When the Gastrea virus invasion rate within their bodies exceeds 50%, they will turn into Gastrea. Therefore, Cursed Children must inject inhibitors daily. Due to being ostracized, most of them live in the outer districts.

The only way for ordinary humans to contract the Gastrea virus and become Alienation is through blood infection. It will not spread through the air, meaning airborne infection does not occur. In fact, even if it enters through the mouth or through sexual intercourse, infection will not occur. This has been proven in multiple experiments. Although the virus entering through the mouth will not infect people, the virus itself will not die immediately. If it happens to enter the mouth of a pregnant woman, the fetus may sometimes be born with accumulated toxicity in the body. Cursed Children are born with crimson eyes, but their appearance is indeed human. All Cursed Children are girls. Originally, new lives born during human pregnancy are female for the first seven weeks. After that, the embryo differentiates its sex, with some becoming male. The Gastrea virus has some unknown effect on the sex-determining factor, so the embryo does not become male.

In addition to their special lineage, Cursed Children also possess the characteristics of Gastrea. They will not die unless their heart and brain are hit. The Gastrea virus within their bodies can sensitively detect life-threatening crises in the host and detoxify foreign substances. Different Cursed Children can also acquire abilities from different genes. For example, Aihara Enju in front of him has a rabbit-type factor, possessing powerful jumping and kicking abilities.

Because Cursed Children can unleash the power of the Gastrea virus, and they themselves possess the Gastrea's physical repair capabilities, they are the main fighting force against Gastrea. To further control this power, civilian enforcers, composed of Initiators and Promoters, were born. Initiators are Cursed Children. Initiators have an obligation to inject an erosion inhibitor once a day. If they are lazy and do not inject it, the internal erosion rate, displayed as a percentage, will rise, eventually turning them into Gastrea. Promoters, on the other hand, act as partners to Initiators to assist in combat and provide core support to Initiators. They are generally also the guardians of their partner Initiator, and most are ordinary humans. Of course, there are also a few modified humans like Satomi Rentaro. Their combat ability may not be as good as Initiators, but they are generally good fighters. The members of the Initiator are complex, with a majority being belligerent delinquents or criminals. They are basically the ones responsible for giving orders and have the intangible responsibility of serving as the Initiator's spiritual pillar. They are the so-called controllers.

The enforcer's use of the term "Cursed Children" stimulated Aihara Enju, and she angrily cursed. "Bastard!"

"Yo, yo, yo, a Cursed Child is going to attack a human? That's illegal, you'd better think carefully about who you are."

"This monster is a thief, you wouldn't want to violate the law to protect her, would you? Then I have to suspect your relationship."

The two enforcers not only didn't panic, but instead pulled out their guns, looking completely fearless. They were telling Aihara Enju that they were humans and enforcers, and she was a Cursed Child who shouldn't meddle in their business, otherwise, she would be investigated too. Saying that, one of the enforcers pulled up the Cursed Child's collar with one hand and pressed the muzzle of the gun against her forehead.

"Don't!" Aihara Enju's eyes flashed with pain; this scene reminded her of how she had been ostracized and bullied in the past. The dying girl in front of her was like her former self. She wanted to save her... just like saving herself.
