“It is my honor, my master.” Maria bowed slightly, having accepted her role as both “head maid” and “bride.”
Helena puffed out her cheeks and muttered under her breath, "I was here first... but I still have to wait in line."
Zhou Ye laughed heartily and took the hands of all the brides.
He stood on the high platform, facing all the guests, and cleared his throat.
Thank you all for coming to my wedding.
"Today, we are here not only to celebrate, but also to declare."
"The old era has ended."
"From today onwards, this world is under my control. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
He looked around the room.
No one answered.
Just kidding, you object?
Who has such a tough life?
"Very good." Zhou Ye nodded in satisfaction. "Then, let the wedding continue! Everyone, enjoy your food and drinks!"
His words finally broke the oppressive atmosphere.
Rias's mother, Vinerana, looked at Zhou Ye surrounded by beauties, then at the empty seat next to her, and finally smiled with relief.
Perhaps, this is the best ending.
A brand new era, dominated by an absolute powerhouse, has begun.
Chapter 332 Jujutsu Kaisen World
A month after the wedding, the world under the new order operated in an eerie calm.
The drawing room at Gimonry Castle is three times larger than before, and the dome is so high that it makes your neck ache.
"No way! How can a honeymoon be so casual!"
Helena slammed her hand on the brand-new long table, making the priceless tea set on it clang loudly.
She puffed out her cheeks and glared at the man opposite her who was leisurely feeding the mechanical dragon "Qiqi" energy cubes.
"You promised me! You promised to go to Mary's hometown! That would be our first real family trip!"
Rias sat beside her, and although she didn't say anything, her expression of agreement said it all.
She and the other girls, such as Himejima Akeno and Orpheus, changed into casual clothes, their faces filled with anticipation.
For these native inhabitants of the underworld or deities, the concept of "sending out the ball" is inherently attractive.
The Virgin Mary stood quietly behind Zhou Ye, her hands folded in front of her, in the posture of a standard head maid.
She spoke softly.
“Master, Helena means that we all really want to see the place where I used to live.”
Zhou Ye tossed out the last energy sugar cube, which Qiqi caught in one bite and happily flicked her rainbow-colored tail.
He then raised his head and leaned back in his chair.
"Why are you going there?"
He yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
“I’ve looked through the information on that planet. Its technological level is roughly equivalent to Earth’s Middle Ages; it doesn’t even have a decent internet connection. What’s the point of going there? To experience primitive life? Are you sure you want to go to a place without Wi-Fi for your honeymoon?”
"you!"
Helena stood up in anger.
"You're just lazy! You just want to stay at home! We don't care, we agreed to go, so you have to go!"
“Yes, Ye,” Rias couldn’t help but chime in, “That’s the homeland of the Virgin Mary, it’s only right that we go and see it. Besides, we’ve never left this planet before.”
"Exactly!" Nami leaned closer, her eyes gleaming with the symbol of RMB. "Does that planet have treasure? Are there any lost ancient civilization ruins? Or some kind of buried golden city?"
Zhou Ye glanced at her.
"Yes, do soil and stones count?"
Nami's face immediately fell, and she sat back down.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing."
Zhou Ye waved his hand, stopping the impending family war.
“I understand your desire to go out and have fun. But to be honest, there’s really nothing fun to do in Maria’s hometown. And…”
He changed the subject.
"The Earth United Council has just been established. Although I've dealt with most of the troublemakers, the remaining ones are still in the adjustment period. As representatives of various mythological forces, isn't it a bit irresponsible of you all to collectively skip home and go on vacation to another planet?"
Upon hearing this, Rias and Akeno Himejima both fell silent.
Indeed, the council has been holding countless meetings lately, with a lot of wrangling over resource allocation and defense zone division. As representatives of demons and fallen angels, they are extremely busy.
"Then we won't go?" Orpheus asked softly. She wasn't interested in any council, only in novel places.
"of course not."
Zhou Ye tapped his finger lightly on the table, and a holographic screen unfolded in front of him.
On the screen, countless star maps and world data flashed by like a waterfall.
These are all spoils copied from the EXE Empire core database.
"I've found you a more interesting place."
His finger swiped across the screen, eventually locking onto a world file codenamed "Curse Power-073".
"This world is very similar to the DXD world; it's also a parallel Earth. However, there are no gods or demons here, nor are there any angels or devils."
"What is it?" Akeno Himejima asked curiously.
"There is this."
Zhou Ye enlarged a document.
Some blurry, twisted monsters of various shapes appeared on the screen.
"These things are called [Cursed Spirits] in this world. They are monsters formed from the accumulated negative emotions of ordinary humans. They have no physical form, and ordinary people cannot see or touch them, but they can easily kill ordinary people."
He pointed to one of the fleshy, cursed spirits with countless eyeballs.
"In other words, this world is full of these disgusting and dangerous things. How about that? Isn't it much more exciting than digging potatoes on a primitive planet?"
Rias looked at the pictures of those monsters and her body involuntarily trembled.
"Ugh...it's disgusting."
“Isn’t this a different kind of battlefield?” Akeno Himejima said with interest. “It sounds very challenging.”
“That’s right.” Zhou Ye snapped his fingers. “The information about this world is very interesting. The first four words that popped into my head were—Jujutsu Kaisen. A shonen manga I’ve read. Wouldn’t it be better to have a honeymoon in a living manga world than anything else?”
Helena and Maria exchanged a glance. Although they hadn't read many comics, it certainly sounded more interesting than going back to their impoverished hometown.
"Alright, let's go to this Jujutsu Kaisen world!" Helena finally decided. "So when do we leave? Now?"
"Don't worry."
Zhou Ye turned off the screen and stood up.
"You can't go."
"what?!"
All the girls shouted in unison, and even Orpheus, who had been quiet all along, widened his eyes.
Zhou Ye walked to the window and looked out at the Gimori territory, which was changing every day under the efficient work of the "Miracle Engineers".
"Rias, Akeno, you are the core members of the council. The Underworld and the Fallen Angels can't do without you. Nami, I'm entrusting you with the family's finances. While I'm away, don't let anyone take a single penny from our house."
He turned around and continued assigning tasks.
“Helena, you are the god of the Bible system. There’s a huge mess in Heaven waiting for you to clean up. Maria, as my head maid, you were formerly the Virgin Mary of Heaven. You are in charge of all the affairs of the house. Orpheus, you are in charge of guarding the house. Anyone who dares to cause trouble, turn them into dust in the dimensional rift.”
After explaining everything, he made clear arrangements for everyone.
Rias panicked.
"And what about you? Are you going alone?"
"of course not."
Zhou Ye's face revealed a meaningful expression.
"This is just a preliminary investigation, to test the waters. I will bring a few people with me."
He shouted into the air.
"Saeko, Utaha, Miko, get ready, we're leaving in five minutes."
As soon as he finished speaking, three figures appeared in the reception room.
It was none other than Gil Valentine, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Yotsuya Miko, whom we hadn't seen in a long time.
Jill, dressed in a smart black combat suit, looked dashing and full of energy, believing she could go to the world of Jujutsu Kaisen and wreak havoc.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was still dressed as the black-stockinged upperclassman, pushing up her glasses and holding a tablet computer in her hand.
Yotsuya Miko, dressed in her ordinary school uniform, seemed a little nervous, but she still mustered up the courage to stand in the line.
Rias and the others were completely dumbfounded.
"Why them?!" Helena was the first to object.
“It’s simple,” Zhou Ye explained. “Jill, the combat expert, will handle the physical aspects of the problem. Shi Yu, the top observer and writer, will record everything in that world; she might even write a bestselling novel when she returns. As for Jian Zi…”
He looked at the trembling girl.
"Her eyes, in that world teeming with cursed spirits, will be the most useful radar. The three of them need to train diligently."
Upon hearing this, the three women's happy faces instantly fell.
