Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

A brilliant golden light burst from the demon god’s raised hand—divine power. I was taken aback and asked, “Can the demon god use divine power?”

“Z, that’s not the point right now! You wretch!”

The demon god immediately reacted with vehemence, perhaps because she was self-conscious about it herself.

The goddess had been quietly watching her sister, as if she had expected this all along. The demon god’s cheeks turned even redder. If I teased her further, she might have flopped onto the floor like Latina, so I changed the subject.

“So, how do you plan to solve it?”

“We can disperse the karma so that it doesn’t accumulate in humans’ souls. It wouldn’t be possible in the world we ruled, but Earth has an extremely low mana density and virtually no divinity, so it should be possible.”

“I didn’t know you could do that.”

“We’re gods. Of course, we can.”

“You don’t look like gods at all from the outside.”

I smiled and patted the demon god’s head, and she jumped up and down in protest.

“You rude man! Don’t touch a god’s head!”

“Then I’ll do it to the goddess.”

“Huh?”

The goddess, who had been quietly watching, suddenly perked up and eagerly thrust her head forward. This side seemed to have been influenced by her childlike appearance as well, as her personality had changed quite a bit.

The goddess I had met in the heavenly realm before seemed to have a screw loose, as if she had put all her emotions into this side.

“Ah, can’t you just leave me alone?!”

“Well, since you two are going to do it together, I’ll just have the goddess receive your share, sister.”

The demon god, who had been jumping up and down, calmed down. Latina got up and said, “If you just sit there, you’ll get half of it done, so why are you making such a fuss, demon god?”

The demon god pouted and sat on Latina’s lap, and Latina gently stroked her head. The demon god quietly sat on Latina’s lap, accepting the caress. Sword Saint Rachel smiled fondly at the two goddesses.

“Goddess, is it really possible?”

“Yes. As you can see, my sister may be a bit of a weirdo, but she doesn’t lie. There are side effects, though.”

“What kind of side effects?”

“Our connection to our world will become stronger. We could prevent that if we wanted to, but…”

“Isn’t it strange that we can use our powers in a world where there is virtually no divinity?”

“Didn’t you think it was strange that you could use the Holy Spear here? Since our existence is bound to the Holy Spear, and its origin is you, it’s only natural that we can use your powers here as well.”

My mouth hung open. I hadn’t considered that at all, and my lips kept moving as if I was trying to process what I had just heard.

“Th, that… was it because of that? But I didn’t feel any divinity at all in this world…”

“Since the Holy Spear’s origin is you, it may operate separately from our world. Don’t be too discouraged. So what made you think that?”

“……I thought that the connection between our world and Earth had become stronger, and that was why the karma that had been building up was now consuming souls. If I had thought about it a little more, I would have realized that it wasn’t the case.”

In fact, the reason why Earth had remained intact so far was probably because there hadn’t been anyone who had killed enough people to become a serial killer. Even Karna, a weak person, had only become a serial killer after a long time.

‘……Wait a minute. Something’s not right.’

Suddenly, something felt odd.

Karma was a concept that accumulated when a person killed another person. It didn’t apply to killing monsters that came out of the Gate, so it wouldn’t have applied to the Sword Saint either, as she had only killed monsters and not humans. Yet, a serial killer had emerged on Earth…

My train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of my smartphone. It was Nika.

“Master, are you free?”

She was calling me ‘master,’ so there was probably no one around.

“Yeah, what’s up?”

“That serial killer who transformed, the female hunter, she’s a wanted criminal. I checked her identity, and she’s quite famous. She’s been part of about 10 parties that were annihilated, so on average, she’s killed about 40 people.”

As I had expected, my hunch was correct. I sighed and asked, “Do you know why she wasn’t caught?”

“Her awakened ability is disguise. I asked a hunter who had just woken up, and they were supposed to raid a Gate together. She was probably going to use the same trick again. It’s better that it ended like this. The severed arm can be regenerated with healing magic, so it’s not a big deal.”

It seemed that her disguise ability wasn’t a simple disguise but something that could reshape her entire body, including her bones and skin.

“I pretended to be clueless and asked her questions while she was still disoriented. She said that she had just woken up and found herself here, and that she didn’t remember anything about being a serial killer. She even asked why she was being held captive.”

“Did she ask to be released?”

“Of course. She insisted that she didn’t know what she had done wrong and that she was being framed. But when I showed her the CCTV footage and her original appearance from the database, she quieted down. She still insisted that this was her true form, though…”

Nika, who had slightly lengthened her sentence, laughed lightly.

“I brought a succubus and let her f*ck her. I asked her to suck out her essence, and she told me everything.”

“I understand. Just keep an eye on her. No need to be too careful. It would be troublesome if she completely lost her mind.”

“Don’t worry. Succubi are professionals in that regard, right? By the way, Master. When I retrieved the database, there was also a question about the identity of the killer. What should I say?”

“Just say that you don’t know.”

“I thought so. See you later, Master.”

The call ended, and since it was deliberately put on speakerphone, everyone in the room had heard the conversation. Kang Ra-he sighed deeply.

“I had hoped that there was a reason for her actions, but it seems that he was just a piece of trash who killed humans for fun.”

Just as the case with Karna, she had hoped that a human with a fragile heart had sadly fallen apart. The magician’s appearance was so frail that he didn’t seem capable of killing even a fly, so she had even more hoped for that.

“Now that it has come to this, would you two…?”

The betrayer, who was being punished by having her cheeks pulled by her older sister, and the younger sister, who was struggling to get free, turned to look at us. Tap, the soft cheeks returned to their original state.

“Could you please explain to us in more detail the method you mentioned earlier?”

The ‘Hunter Outbreak’ that had occurred in the heart of Seoul was attracting a lot of attention.

There were people who made absurd claims, such as that the zombie virus had appeared and that everyone should be prepared, and there were also people who spread all sorts of groundless rumors based on the fact that the guild master of Eternal had appeared in person.

Nika herself dismissed it as a mere coincidence, but what were the odds that one of the strongest S-rank hunters, who was rarely seen outside, would coincidentally be at that place?

That was why people paid even more attention to the announcement, and it was shocking in a different way.

-It was a problem with the equipment she was wearing. The hunter was a wanted criminal, and she had worn the equipment he had taken from the hunter she had killed, and the peculiarities within the gate had caused a problem. Experts were investigating the equipment.-

-The identity of the human who had subdued the hunter was also under investigation. If it weren’t for the people taking photos with their smartphones, their heads would have been smashed instead of their smartphones. Consider it as payment for your lives.-

-You say that we are hiding something? Look at yourself first. We have said everything we have to say about this incident. I don’t know what else you want.-

The person who had come on behalf of the guild master of Eternal left the press conference after making only the statements he had intended to make, even amidst the barrage of questions.

There were all sorts of reports that pointed out the suspicious points, but Eternal guild did not bat an eye. Their official position was that it was a mental contamination caused by wearing the dead hunter’s equipment.

Indeed, an unknown contaminant was found on the equipment, and as soon as this fact was announced, people’s interest immediately shifted to that.

Of course, only a handful of people knew that the contaminant was ‘demonic’.

“So, the changes in the gates of the Goddess’ world and the strengthening of the gates on Earth are due to the increase in synchronization rate between the two worlds?”

“Yes. We have taken certain measures, so it won’t spread further, but… We were lucky. If we had been any later, a serious situation could have unfolded.”

“For example?”

“From the gates of the Goddess’ world, Earth-like creatures with full civilization could appear, or from the gates on Earth, a Demon King from the Goddess’ world could appear.”

“…”

It certainly was a major matter. Hem, the Demon God puffed out his chest.

“Look. If I hadn’t suggested coming to Earth at that timing, who knows what could have happened. It’s all thanks to me.”

“Wasn’t it clearly the Goddess who first suggested coming to Earth for a vacation?”

“Disgusting… Older sister.”

“Disgusting…?!

The Demon God froze. She had never expected to hear such words from her younger sister.

“Now I understand why you chose the Demon World just because it’s cooler.”

“…”

The younger sister burrowed into the older sister’s bosom and rubbed her face against her. The older sister smiled wryly and hugged the younger sister. Then, with a worried expression, she asked,

“Mira, are you really going to do it? No matter how capable you are, this is…”

“It’s alright. Just go back first.”

“…”

The older sister, hugging the younger sister, left through the dimensional door to the island first, and Latina followed. Only the Demon God, I, and Nika were left, and as the frozen Demon God’s eyes watched, I snapped my fingers.

“Now, what should we do?

‘…… Are you sure you want to do this, human?’
‘Yes I’m ready.’
‘But…… it’s really the first time I’ve ever given a human a sword…….’
The demon continued to stammer. I pulled her cheeks to either side of her face.
‘Hmph! What the hell are you doing!’
‘Why should you hesitate to use a magic sword, when this is my chance to use magic instead of divinity again?’
