In the future Frank had glimpsed through dreams, Kireina did not appear much later. Yet now she was here, the villain's daughter, altering everything.
Once Kireina reached her mansion on the distant outskirts of Tokyo, she opened the door and stepped through a shimring magical tunnel into her Clan's Domain.
By shielding Frank with her Aura, she enabled him to enter without resistance.
Alarms blared instantly, announcing an intruder. Dozens of Chaos Gate hitn and agents surged forward to confront the threat.
They dressed like seasoned Yakuza in sharp black suits with white shirts, though so wore bold gold, yellow, green, brown, or white. Intimidating tattoos peeked from collars and cuffs, and dark sunglasses hid their eyes.
Each radiated lethal intent and carried a formidable aura. No mber of Chaos Gate was ever weak.
"Kireina-sama! Why have you brought this stranger?"
"Isn't that the kid...?"
"Ojou-sama, step back. It's dangerous to bring outsiders!"
"That's the boy the boss wanted to devour."
"What is happening here?"
Confusion spread among them. Kireina stood far above their rank, so none dared reprimand or command her.
They froze, uncertain and powerless.
Until three figures descended. Two were painfully familiar to Frank.
One was dea, the cruel witch who had tornted him and his friends.
The other...
"W-Wasp...!"
Deep trauma surged through Frank. In that future dream, he had watched Wasp butcher his family, carving them apart. The mory struck like lightning, triggering raw PTSD. He lunged forward, summoning legendary weapons and aiming them at the white-haired man.
"Hmph." Wasp rely gazed back with cold crimson eyes. "Kireina-sama, you have brought a most unusual guest today. Care to explain?"
"It's him?" dea gasped, clearly unsettled. "This is awkward."
"Ah, the Star Child our boss once craved to devour," Victor Frankenstein remarked with a sly grin. "Thanks to Kireina-sama's ingredients, his hunger is sated now. Still, this is quite the prize. Have you brought him for your father, young lady?"
"No! He's my friend," Kireina declared firmly. "I want him to join the Clan. Father, co out. I know you're watching!"
Everyone present tensed as the sky abruptly darkened. A colossal figure of swirling chaos descended, radiating nace.
Frank's eyes widened in terror as his ultimate enemy materialized—the antagonist of his foreseen future.
His direct opposite, a being of pure chaos and ruin.
If that future were a novel with Frank as the protagonist, Lord Chaos would be the unforgettable villain.
Even if a greater foe erged later, Lord Chaos would leave the deepest scar on every reader.
"So you have brought the Star Child."
Lord Chaos's voice bood, mysterious and terrifying, shaking heaven and earth. Chaos rippled outward, warping reality as the titan lood, brimming with overwhelming power.
"Is this an offering for your father, my child? Have you—"
"Stop the act!" Kireina interrupted sharply. "You're not like this. Shrink down and talk normally!"
"But I wanted to appear intimidating, my dear daughter!"
"Enough, Dad!"
"Tsk. You're lucky, Star Child. My daughter is kind and—"
"I said enough."
Kireina crossed her arms and fixed her father with a fierce glare.
The last thing Papa Chaos wanted was to upset his beloved daughter.
He swiftly reverted to his usual form: a black suit over a pitch-dark body, a swirling void at the center of his face, topped by a chaotic fla.
"A-Ah!" Frank stumbled backward, landing hard on the ground as Lord Chaos shrank and stared down at him. "Y-You...!"
"Yes, it's ," Papa Chaos replied casually. "Now, what is the aning of this, my daughter? Shouldn't he be with that wretched Amaterasu Clan?"
"He was expelled because of ," Kireina sighed.
"What? Tell everything!" Papa Chaos grew instantly protective, pulling her into a tight embrace. "Did those bastards hurt you? I'll destroy them. I'll wipe them all out—"
"Just sit down and listen," Kireina said gently but firmly. "And everyone else, clear out!" She waved away the agents and hitn. "It's a long story. Araña, could you make us so food? I'm starving."
"Araña!"
"Yes, Master!" The spider-like servant nodded and vanished into her kitchen through a rift in space.
anwhile, Kireina's maids, Isna and Acelina, hurried to prepare a table in the garden outside the main house. Frank and Kireina stepped through the Dinsional Door and settled there.
The sun dipped toward the horizon, painting the sky in warm hues. A gentle breeze stirred the vast, beautiful lands of the Domain. Frank marveled quietly, realizing Chaos Gate rivaled—or surpassed—the Amaterasu Clan in power and grandeur.
"Now," Papa Chaos said, sipping tea. "Tell ."
Wasp, Victor Frankenstein, and dea remained despite Kireina's dismissal. Mirabilis, her father's secretary, also lingered, observing Frank with a piercing, analytical stare.
"Huh, Mirabilis and Abyss are the sa species. I wonder how they'd get along," Kireina mused briefly before growing serious. "Okay, here's what happened."
She recounted everything honestly—her true nature, her intentions, and the full chain of events.
The more they heard, the angrier they beca, fury directed not at Kireina but at Amaterasu and her Clan.
Murderous intent flared from her father and the three elites as they learned how deeply the young lady had been wronged.
"I see," her father said at last, surprisingly calm, a faint smile on his void-like face. "Very well. Let us destroy the Amaterasu Clan and eradicate every Kami. I've tolerated them long enough. What say you all?"
"I agree completely," Victor Frankenstein replied without hesitation.
"Just give the order, Boss," Wasp said coolly.
"It's overdue," dea added, her eyes blazing crimson, all maternal warmth replaced by raw killing intent.
Frank could barely breathe under their crushing presences. He felt insignificant, powerless as an insect.
"Wait! No! Absolutely not!" Kireina cried, leaping up to stop them.
"They deserve death," her father stated flatly.
"I know you feel that way," Kireina said, pain flickering in her eyes as she faced him. "But their hostility toward stems from what YOU did, Father. I love you deeply, but what you've done is wrong. Destroying everything for power, crushing others beneath you... I've co to understand that such paths are unjust. They only drag you into an endless cycle of ruin, blinding you to the true value of life."
