Doomsday Chat Group: Conquering the Multiverse Heroines

Ren was surprised. He knew this child, Senju Kayo, had the dolphin factor and was highly intelligent, reportedly with an IQ over 210. Her calm assessment of the situation still surprised him. In reality, he had arrived here much earlier. He had even been standing in the conference room the whole time, watching the Seitenshi's tightly furrowed brows, the politicians' cold indifference, and Tendo Kikunojo's performance. However, after he had dominated his presence, no one could detect him.

Ren: "How I did it... it's similar to superpowers or magic."

"I see," Senju Kayo nodded, believing him. Of course, she believed him after making her judgment. The current strange phenomenon, coupled with Ren appearing to be an adult male and not a Cursed Child, made it clear. To be able to easily make others ignore someone, and for others to be ignored by others, is not something ordinary things can achieve. Perhaps only Psychic abilities, magic, and other supernatural powers could explain it.

"May I ask why this gentleman has gone to such lengths to do this?" Senju Kayo tried to understand Ren's purpose in using this ability to get here and interact with her. Was it like the masked man from before, for the so-called Shichisei's Legacy?

"You guessed wrong. I came for you. I'm not interested in Shichisei's Legacy or anything like that."

"Eh!" Senju Kayo was shocked. First, she was shocked that her mind seemed to have been read—was that also a Psychic ability? Second, she was shocked that the other party said he came for her. How could I be more important than Shichisei's Legacy? I'm just an ordinary Cursed Child.

"Why?" So, Senju Kayo tilted her head and expressed her confusion.

"Probably because I like beautiful girls or something," Ren said with a smile.

"But I'm a Cursed Child."

"Sexual intercourse doesn't transmit the Gastrea virus. This has been scientifically researched and confirmed by multiple sources," Ren seriously told her the scientific truth.

"..." Senju Kayo was so shocked she was speechless. This man said something that shattered her worldview. Not just because of his sexual desire for her, but even more so because he had sexual desire for her! She was a Cursed Child! She had the Gastrea virus in her body. Even if it was scientifically proven, no one would like a Cursed Child, right?

Senju Kayo's eyes trembled: "You... you're so strange."

Ren pinched his chin and, without any self-awareness, playfully said: "Strange and handsome? Strange and good? Or strange and powerful?"

"..." Senju Kayo looked him up and down, then straightened her small face and answered him seriously. "Strange and narcissistic."

"Hahaha!" Ren was amused by her serious attempt to play along with his antics. Even Senju Kayo's lips curled up slightly. The atmosphere became less tense because of this playful conversation.

After laughing, Ren returned to the main topic. He was initially interested in this girl, Senju Kayo, partly due to the anime "Black Bullet." However, after some conversation, he suddenly felt that this girl was quite compatible with him. Aside from being very cute, she was calm, smart, and had a hint of playful personality. She was completely to his taste. When faced with something he liked, Ren would decisively make a move.

"Senju Kayo, how about you follow me from now on? I feel like we get along quite well."

Senju Kayo hadn't said her name, yet she wasn't surprised that Ren knew it. He was a Psychic who could make people ignore him and read minds. It wasn't surprising that he knew her name. But... his inexplicable invitation put her in a difficult position. Her slightly sad eyes looked at the corpse beside her. Her Promoter had just died.

Ren naturally wouldn't say something insensitive like, "Anyway, your Promoter is dead, and you'll find another one in the future, so it'll be the same if you follow me." He left the time for her to decide on her own.

After a long while, Senju Kayo looked at Ren: "Your name."

"Ren."

"Ren-san, were you sincere about everything you said earlier?" She wanted to confirm with her own eyes and ears whether Ren truly didn't dislike Cursed Children.

"I really like beautiful girls like Senju Kayo. My sincerity is witnessed by the sun and moon!" Ren's words were profound and forceful. Such sincerity could indeed be felt by the listener.

"..." Senju Kayo's eyelids twitched. She wasn't talking about liking her! She was just asking if he disliked Cursed Children! Liking... sexual intercourse... wasn't that a bit too exaggerated? Even someone as calm and composed as her would feel a tremor in her heart and a flush on her face upon hearing such sincere, oath-like words.

Senju Kayo suppressed her shyness and continued to ask, "Then, Ren-san, what are you planning to do?" She didn't believe Ren came all the way here just for her; he must have other motives. Although she felt Ren's sincerity, if he was planning something bad, she wouldn't agree.

Ren shrugged: "I'm just going to have a simple chat with the Seitenshi, eliminate the Gastrea virus, save the Cursed Children, and then, while I'm at it, kill all the dark-hearted people."

"..." Was he serious about this statement? Chat with the Seitenshi? Eliminate the Gastrea virus? Save the Cursed Children? Kill all the dark-hearted people? Simply? None of these things are simple at all! She gazed into Ren's eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and she tried to see through his joking lies. But Ren was not afraid at all; his calm eyes met hers, letting her observe him.

"..." Senju Kayo fell silent. This man was serious! She got this answer from his clear, untainted golden starry eyes. After a moment of silence, the Seitenshi and the others had already left. Even the corpse of her Promoter next to her was taken away. No one noticed the two of them.

After this period of silence, Senju Kayo spoke. "I understand, Ren-san. Please guide me in the future. I will wholeheartedly help you achieve your goals." A serious expression appeared on her small face. Because each goal was extremely difficult, she was prepared to go all out to help Ren. This man who had sincerely confided in her.

Who knew Ren would place his large hand directly on her head. "What are you talking about? I can handle these things easily."

"You just need to be a happy, eye-catching little beauty by my side and enjoy the good life with me."

"But..." Senju Kayo still wanted to say something.

Ren interrupted and said, "Oh, and from now on, call me Brother Ren, not Ren-san"

"...Brother Ren." This intimate address made Senju Kayo's heart race. It felt like... family...

"Hahaha, let's go, big brother will take you to meet the Seitenshi." Saying that, he picked up Senju Kayo in a princess carry. She calmly put her arms around Ren's neck, but whispered, "Brother Ren, actually, I have feet."

Ren blinked, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips. "Is it possible that I just want to tease Kayo?"

Senju Kayo's ears turned slightly red, but her face took on a thoughtful expression.

"Speaking of tofu..." He suddenly looked up and said very seriously, "I'm hungry."

"Pfft! How can you say something so funny in this kind of situation! Hahaha." Laughing, he carried her and left.

"Sigh..."

Returning to the Certification Hall, everyone had already left. Tendo Kikunojo had already begun to gather manpower and recruit civilian law enforcement officers to recover Shichisei's Legacy. Now, only the Seitenshi sat at the governing table, sighing deeply. A worried expression hung on her beautiful, fair face. A stack of new documents lay on the table; she hadn't even had time to look at them. The Chat Group matter and the public opinion surrounding the promulgation of the Gastrea New Law had already left her overwhelmed. Now, on top of that, the major incident of Shichisei's Legacy being lost had occurred. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

"You seem very troubled?"

"Who?" The Seitenshi suddenly looked around. What she saw was a black-haired, golden-eyed man, with a young girl standing beside him.

"Ren," he replied indifferently.

"Senju Kayo," her introduction was as concise as Ren's.

"Ren-sama!" The Seitenshi stood up. This address surprised Senju Kayo. Brother Ren's status seemed extremely high. Even Seitenshi, the highest leader of the Tokyo Area, called him 'sama'.

"Are the others not here?" The Seitenshi was asking about Exusiai and the others.

"They went to kill Gastrea. Tendou Kisara is still at her home." Ren walked over to her, naturally picked up a document from the table, and flipped through it casually. He then asked the Seitenshi, "Have you gotten an answer to my question from back then?"

"..." The Seitenshi lowered her head. Regarding the darkness of the world, she still didn't know how to answer. The lives of the Cursed Children were lives. Human lives were also lives in her eyes. Her wish was to build a world where the Cursed Children gained human rights and everyone coexisted peacefully. She wavered between hesitation and confusion.

Ren looked at Senju Kayo. "Senju Kayo, what do you think of the Cursed Children's situation? As a Cursed Child, you should have a say."

The Seitenshi's gaze also turned to her. With Ren's encouraging and supportive gaze, she spoke her inner thoughts: "I think the Cursed Children's situation is very bad."

"Cursed Children who become Initiators, although their living conditions improve, most Promoters only use them as tools. If they break or die, they can simply be replaced."

"Cursed Children who cannot become Initiators cannot even guarantee the most basic survival."

"They cannot work, cannot earn money, cannot obtain food, and will only starve to death."

"If they cannot endure hunger and resort to stealing, and are discovered, they will only be mercilessly beaten to death or tortured to death." At this point, she paused, looked deeply at the Seitenshi, and slowly said, "The Cursed Children live... not like humans... they live like Gastrea."

"..." Listening to the heartfelt words of a Cursed Child, the Seitenshi felt a twisting pain in her heart.

"I have already promulgated the 'Gastrea New Law', announcing the law for the Cursed Children to gain human rights. I believe everything will get better." The Seitenshi anticipated this with hope.

"Heh, your anticipation is probably going to be in vain," Ren sneered. He casually pulled out a sheet of paper from the documents and handed it to her. "Look at what's on it."

The Seitenshi took the paper, reading it word by word.

"!!!" Immediately after, her expression froze. As if struck by a massive blow, she cried out in disbelief: "Why is this happening?!"

The text on the paper read:

[Regarding the law on restoring human rights for the Cursed Children mentioned in the 'Gastrea New Law' promulgated by Seitenshi-sama, the ratio of opposing to supporting individuals surveyed across the entire Tokyo Area:]

[Number of supporters accounts for 4% of the entire Tokyo Area]

[Number of neutral individuals accounts for 3% of the entire Tokyo Area]

[Number of opponents accounts for 93% of the entire Tokyo Area]

Only 4% of the people supported this law! In other words, only about 4% of the people in the Tokyo Area viewed the Cursed Children as humans! What a terrifying number this was. Furthermore, there was even a joint opposition proposal, with tens of thousands of people jointly suggesting the repeal of this law.

"Who are you people? When did you enter here?" Before the Seitenshi could think further, a team of law enforcement officers rushed in. The one leading the questioning of Ren and Senju Kayo was Yasuwaki Takuto. His eyes behind his glasses emitted a strong killing intent. Damn it! How dare they get so close to Seitenshi-sama!

"Oh ho, this is your guard captain, right?" Ren looked at Yasuwaki Takuto with interest.

"Yes, please don't harm them," the Seitenshi requested.

"It seems you don't understand your own people at all. I want to say, do you believe that every single one of your guards is a murderer?" Ren narrowed his eyes, saying something the Seitenshi didn't understand.

"You're the murderer! Are you trying to attack Seitenshi-sama, you bastard? Everyone, attack! Take him down!" Yasuwaki Takuto shouted. But he himself cleverly didn't move. Only when the others rushed up, that's when he would charge.

"..." But what was even more awkward was that none of the people behind him moved either.
