Vahn had been listening attentively to Akasha's explanation thus far but, hearing he would have to participate in a war, he couldn't help but raise his brows in mild surprise. Seeing this, Akasha immediately explained, "The Holy Grail War is a ritual concocted by Kanada Vaisheshika to provide his descendants with the ability to retrace the path he used to reach the Root. Using the knowledge he gained from the Third Verse of Akasha, he was able to conceptualize a spiritual vessel capable of serving as an intermediary with the Moderation Terminal, Moon Cell. Because of the significance it represents, the Holy Grail War has become a central event within recent cycles, accounting for a total of 64% of all tangential timelines. Though I have taken steps to prevent the ritual's success, there is a .0000149% chance that a participant within the Holy Grail War will be able to reach the Root, greatly reducing the system's capacity to run future cycles. One of your secondary objectives will be to ensure that any Holy Grail Wars taking place within a timeline you inhabit are unable to be completed. Though it is not a high priority, you should always act in an effort to prevent any individual or organization from reaching the Root."

It was fortunate that Haruhime was very adept at dealing with Vahn, or things may have gotten even more out of hand. When everything was said and done, Vahn took a moment to reflect on his actions and knew he needed to show more restraint in the future...though he didn't truly possess a Divinity related to Sex, Vahn knew that his 'prowess' had risen a great deal after his melding with Freya. If he wasn't more careful, the chances of him accidentally 'breaking' someone in the future would continue to increase...

Hephaestus, agreeing with Hestia's statement, nodded her head, adding, "It's the thing we gods have always desired, ever since the first mortals began walking the world long ago...the feeling of having a family...people that can replace the feeling of loneliness with warmth, compassion, and love..." Even now, Hephaestus could vividly remember the long loneliness she had tolerated before opening her heart to Vahn. She knew most gods felt something similar, bound by the compulsion of their Divinities and never truly being able to confide in each other. Vahn had stepped into her heart and filled a void she thought would persist for all eternity...not only that, but he had never stopped adding more of himself, giving her children, and making her happier than she ever thought possible...

Since he was able to access their information through the system interface, Vahn could see all of his current subordinates and retainers, testing a variety of different options without finalizing anything. The only exceptions to this were the 'eternal flame' and Anubis, whose parameters could be observed but couldn't be influenced. This, as explained by Sis, was the first proof that there were limitations to the function, this time being that his Soul Tier was simply too low. Though the functions of the system seemed incredibly powerful, they were still restricted by the level of existence he was currently at. Even so, by inputting various options under Lefiya, Vahn could see the costs of modifications, including things like turning her into a True Dragon for 390,000,000OP.

(A/N: Webnovel seems to be trying pretty hard to push EPIC out of the rankings for their premium content. Don't let their bots promote novels that have more than 50 grammatical errors in a 1k word chapter rise into the top 3. Seriously, some of that stuff looks like it was translated through multiple language filters before finally being converted into English xD...)

So that she didn't 'root' herself to his arm, Vahn had to pull his hand away, pinching her nose as he said, "Make sure to take care of my son, Sherry..." This caused the small Dryad to bring both hands to her face, giggling happily as she nodded her head. Afterward, she ran over to Masonia who had already started taking evasive action by moving to the other side of the table with a face asking, 'Father, why have you betrayed me...?' To this, Vahn just began laughing and headed towards the door as the sounds of his son's struggles emerged from behind him.

Once the two had vanished, Vahn's own memory fragment popped back into existence, this time having all the memories he had accumulated until this point. There was a brief moment of incongruity, as his senses were momentarily split, but Vahn had gotten very used to having two bodies in the real world. After a few seconds had passed, the fragment had completely stabilized and released a light laugh before making his way inside the cottage, no words necessary since it was updated with all of Vahn's current thoughts and ideas. When he had left, Vahn turned his head sideways and asked, "Are you ready, Alexa...?"

Asfi's [Talaria] worked with this same concept and, though they had the basic form of sandals, she could use them to produce four wings out of thin air, allowing her to fly around the same speed she could run. As for other magic items she made use of, Asfi's dagger was able to produce magical fire, her glasses enabled her to see the flow of mana, her leather armor could be as hard as metal, and her cloak was able to obscure the detection abilities of others. All of these properties were things that existed naturally and, though it was possible to create similar effects with his [Master Smith], the fact that magic items could be assigned almost any effect was fundamentally different than the abilities obtained while blacksmithing.

(A/N: I know there are a few people that are annoyed by how 'cyclic' Vahn's thought process is, but its actually a very realistic representation of how people think. If you know anyone that is prone to getting stressed out when there is a lot going on, Vahn's actions are actually very easy to understand. Though he had matured a great deal since the beginning, the number of things he gets involved with would be a burden most people couldn't even hope to even empathize with. At the same time, the understanding of the girls in his life actually 'enables' his bad habit. The fact he stresses out solely because he cares about the girls, even though they don't really care if he cuts loose a bit, actually serves to humanize Vahn. He genuinely does love the girls within the Manor, to the point he would probably tear down Heaven if it meant they would be happy. At the same time, as a result of their expectations and understanding, Vahn has been enabled to become a very abnormal existence without any real restraints. The only thing that holds him back at this point is Vahn himself, something he is constantly being reminded of xD...By the way, if not for the fact I had set up things in this way from the start, in an effort to try and 'balance' Vahn's harem, I never would have allowed things like this to happen. Seriously, I understand better than anyone that Vahn is involved with too many women but, considering how his character has developed, I would be misrepresenting him but forcing him to suddenly change. The way the character in the Manor have developed would also be set aside for my own convenience, which is something I'm not willing to do. Because of this, I will endeavor to ensure that Vahn won't establish many, if any, permanant relationships in other records. Though he may be involved with some girls, as I'm sure people would like to see something like VahnxSaber, or something similar, they won't be on the same level as his involvement with girls in Danmachi.)

(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Erika is a little genius (UwU)','I wonder if, without scrolling up, anyone can remember the names of the other two noble girls? RIP bystander1 and bystander2~!','Vahn ain't playin' no games (o,...,o)~!')

Presently, Vahn's understanding of the principles behind 'Cultivation' was very shallow as even cheap cultivation manuals seemed to cost several tens-of-millions of Origin Points. As they were techniques that could allow one to potentially reach godhood, or even exceed it according to some texts, it wasn't too surprising. Fortunately, much like the [Flying Heavenly Sword Manual], it could technically be read by multiple people, meaning he could potentially allow multiple people to study it in the future. The only real restriction was, each cultivation technique was heavily dependent on the nature and affinity of the user. Also, unless you had a strong soul and a great deal of willpower, some phases of the cultivation process could be lethal to the practitioner. After all, the 'purpose' behind cultivation seemed to be an effort to directly oppose fate, meaning there were several heavenly tribulations the user would have to face depending on their karmic alignment.

When he read through their values, Vahn felt strangely guilty but still smiled when he saw that Ina already treated him as her 'favorite person'. As expected, Erika was the type that was intrigued by her surroundings, likely credited to her seemingly advanced intelligence. As for Vana, it made Vahn a little sad that she was 'neutral' towards him, but the 'confused' descriptive for her Intrigue made him feel a little better. Though she was still very intelligent, she acted the most like an actual newborn, including how she had cried out very loudly and engorged herself during meals. Her confusion about the world made a lot of sense so Vahn knew he could improve her opinion about him with time...

Since he had the opportunity, Vahn helped prepare dinner alongside the girls, being joined by Milan, Tina, and Syr when preparations began. They made small talk with each other, enjoying the pleasant mood in the relatively large kitchen that was full of fragrant and mouth-watering aromas. Cooking was one of Vahn's favorite hobbies ever since he came to this world because it didn't require that much effort but could still put a big smile on people's faces. He still remembered the very first time he had 'real' food at the Hostess of Fertility, earning a heartwarming smile from Syr when she asked what he was thinking about.

(A/N: Though Vahn's base parameters are actually much higher than Ais', her feats have shown that she is much faster than he 'should' be in his base form. Remember that a person's Innates, Skills, and Magic can all have massive impacts on their combat potential. Ais' [Ariel] is one of the most powerful skills in the entire record and, because it is spirit magic, it is actually 'more' effective against Vahn. Though his Magia Erebea is a 'purified' version of the ability, it still makes the cells themselves somewhat unstable and easier to influence by other magic. As for why he didn't absorb her [Ariel] into his [Magia Erbea], you have to remember that he isn't really trying to kill Ais. Without proper control, he would shred her apart in much the same way as she shredded him. Also, Webnovel seems to be trying to censor P.atreon, so I'll modify the link to have a . in it...)

Vahn, however, tolerated the pain and reformed his body within two seconds, striking towards the complacent and worried Ais with the palm of his hand. She blocked the attack with the flat of her blade but was still pushed back several meters as a vibrant golden aura surrounded Vahn's body. With [Vis Maxima], Vahn could now increase his physical parameters by 2.5x, though his body would constantly be breaking down as a result of the strain on his body. He also couldn't maintain it for very long with his own lacking reserves, but it was still very useful for sudden strikes, as could be seen by the fact that Ais took several seconds to stabilize herself after being pushed back.

Having the 'option' of attaining immortality just by becoming stronger seemed to make Ais feel somewhat competitive as she muttered, "I will be the first to reach immortality..." while eying the other girls. Unfortunately, she rested her eyes on Fenrir for a brief moment, causing the small Vanargandr to raise her head in a haughty manner, reminiscent of Eva, as she said, "Hmmm? But Fenrir is already immortal though~?" Ais' eyes widened and it looked like she had suffered a bit of a mental impact until Vahn clarified that all of his named subordinates were functionally immortal unless they were killed. This made Ais release a small sigh of relief as she eyed the other girls, this time passing over Fenrir without making eye contact. Tiona and Tione seemed to get fired up at this while Mikoto just hung her head in silent contemplation for a while...
