My Supernatural Girlfriends Spoils Me Rotten

"What the hell is that thing?" Hisame swallowed hard, struggling to comprehend how a creature could grow so massive.

She was tens of kilometers away, yet she could still see it—its head now towering as high as a mountain peak.

Every movement it made shook the ground beneath her, and just its finger alone was enough to demolish a building or two.

But that wasn't the most shocking part—it was the fact that it was only crawling. She didn't even want to imagine how tall it would be once it stood up.

"It looks like a baby… Don't tell me this thing is an infant," she muttered aloud, staring at its oversized head, which was disproportionate to its body—a characteristic of newborns and young children.

"That is also what our findings suggest, Lady Hisame," a yokai spoke.

This one had no mouth or nose, just a single large eye, and was dressed in a white gown.

"What other information do you have? Tell me,"She ordered.

"As you wish."

"This thing has been growing at a rate of 200 meters per day, and based on its behavior, we believe it's consuming everything around it to sustain such rapid growth,"

Hisame's expression darkened. "How does it choose what to eat? "

The yokai blinked its single large eye before answering. "So far, it seems indiscriminate. Trees, animals, buildings—everything burns the moment it touches them. However, it appears more drawn to living beings."

Her fingers clenched into fists. "Has anyone attempted to stop it? Any attacks that worked?"

Another yokai stepped forward, shaking its head. "We've tried everything, even large-scale curse techniques, but nothing worked. It didn't even notice us,"

"What about its core? Every living thing has a weakness. Have you found anything resembling one?"

The yokai hesitated, its large eye flickering with uncertainty.

"We've searched, Lady Hisame. We've found no sign of a core or anything that could be considered its weakness. It's unlike anything we've encountered before."

"No heart? No energy source?"

"None," the yokai replied. "It's as if it doesn't rely on the same principles as other creatures."

She massaged her head. She was truly at a loss for how to deal with the giant, burning monster.

"Lady Hisame, if that thing continues on this path, it will reach our territory in a week. We need to find a way to stop it or at least change its direction."

"And how do you propose I do that? Do you think we can just move something that big?" She raised an eyebrow, finding her subordinates words stupid.

The thing in front of them could crush them with a single finger, and she doubted any of her attacks would deal enough damage.

Unlike demons, yokai didn't have many options when it came to dealing with overly large organisms.

They leaned more toward one-on-one combat and relied on agility and stealth, not large-scale tactics or brute force.

On top of that, the giant monster radiated intense heat, making it difficult to even get close.

'I don't think even Kitsune could handle this if she were alive,'

She recalled how powerful the fox yokai had been, but now, compared to what she was witnessing, Kitsune's strength seemed insignificant. This was not good.

It just showed that there would always be a higher mountain, and the giant before her was a literal one.

'Do we even have anyone who can contend with it?' she asked, her voice tinged with doubt.

Then an idea popped into her mind. Asher.

She heard he was now the new Overlord of the Demon world, which didn't shock her in the slightest, considering how overpowered he was.

If she was being honest, she was more surprised by Pantheon.

She didn't realize the extent of Asher's power when she faced Kitsune. If he truly wanted to, he could have taken down the fox yokai in a matter of seconds with the help of the ancient dragon.

'If there's one person who could do it... it's him,'

She already made up her mind. There was no use wasting any more time here.

"We're retreating right now," she commanded before turning around.

2 Days Later

City of Avalon.

Inside the meeting room, Lucian sat at the far end of the table, surrounded by multiple Demon Kings.

Also present were the representatives of the Yokai Territory, including Hisame, as well as the new generals under her.

In an unexpected turn of events, the Supreme Commander did not engage in a civil war with her after hearing the news that Asher had become the new overlord.

Miko didn't take the risk of antagonizing Hisame and instead struck a deal with her to divide their territories.

He took the south, while she claimed the north, where the giant monster was heading.

"Is it really that bad?" he asked in a serious tone after hearing the details.

"Yes," Hisame nodded. "In just one day, it grew by more than 200 meters. We estimate it's at least 1000 meters long now, and I'm afraid that once it's fully mature, nothing will be able to stop it."

The demons exchanged uneasy glances. They sent their own scouts to verify the validity of her claims, and it turned out to be true.

"This is outrageous! What are the yokai doing? You should be stopping it!" one demon scoffed in anger.

Another one spoke up, his voice laced with frustration. "You're asking for help, without even attempting to fight? What a bunch of cowards!"

This sentiment was shared by the other prideful demon kings, but then Hisame spoke up.

"Well, we're just copying the best. After all, you surrendered to Overlord Asher when you knew you had no chance of winning," she shot back, her words a bitter truth.

The demon kings' expressions darkened at the insult. One of them, a hulking figure with sharp horns, snarled,

"How dare you speak to us like that!"

Another demon king, with pale skin and cold eyes, clenched his fists so tightly that his claws dug into his palms. "You dare mock us in our world? We are the rulers here. Don't forget who you're speaking to."

The tension in the room thickened, and for a moment, it seemed as though the demons might lash out at her.

"Stop!" Lucian's voice jolted everyone.

His gaze swept over the demon kings, each one momentarily shrinking under his intense scrutiny.

They feared not him, but the immense authority he commanded, and the one who stood behind him—Asher.

In just a month, nearly four royal families were massacred, punished, and more.

No one could stop him, as most of the noble families either allied with him or faced pressure from the Morningstar family.

They witnessed firsthand how ruthless Lucian could be, and the last thing they wanted was to paint targets on their back .

TAP!

TAP!

He tapped the table a couple of times before turning his attention to the yokais, specifically Hisame, who was wearing a traditional yukata with sakura patterns on it.

She looked like a fine maiden, despite her sharp way of speaking, and with no more effort to act, her true personality began to shine through.

But that wasn't the only reason he was interested in her.

Lucy had informed him that the cat yokai knew Asher personally and even received items directly.

This made it clear that she needed to be approached with caution—she might even be considered a candidate for a concubine.

It wasn't exactly surprising. Even Lucian found her very attractive, especially with the pair of cat ears that twitched from time to time.

Plus, considering his son-in-law had cheated on the night of his own wedding, having another woman on the side was rather tame in comparison.

"I know you came here to ask for our help, but a threat like this would require us to send most of our forces, leaving us defenseless if we fail to destroy that thing," he pointed out.

"I understand..." Hisame's voice trailed off. "That's why I want to speak with Overlord Asher personally, to request his help in exterminating this world ending threat."

Lucian's eyebrow twitched slightly.

"You can't meet him yet. He's currently occupied with important matters,"

He deliberately spoke in vague terms, careful not to reveal that Asher was in isolation.

"What matter is more important than this?" she stood up, in disbelief.

"Please sit down," Lucian gestured. "I know that you're frustrated, but shouting won't solve anything,"

"But we're talking about the world here! How can he stay still when there's a threat this big?" she retorted.

Lucian sighed deeply.

"What's important to us isn't necessarily important to him, especially since he can travel between worlds. So, we really don't have the right to question his actions or demand that he prioritize your territory."

Hisame bit her lip. "You think this is just about me wanting to save my territory?"

"I did not say that, but you can't deny that it's one of the reasons you're rushing to ask for our assistance."
