That night, there was a huge earthquake.

'It's here already. That was fast.

　He immediately went up to the roof of the inn and covered the entire inn town with a warding, using levitation magic to raise the entire ground into the air.

''Father, this is........!

　Addy, who had been waiting for the right moment to visit my room, followed me and landed on the roof.
　After giving Addy a quick glance, I point to the sky in silence.
　The aurora borealis, hanging in the entire sky, shimmering and swaying.

'It's a star festival. Apparently, they didn't need me to put my hand down anymore.
''I see. The Re-Genesis of the Star's Will.......has begun.

　I nodded back at Addy's muttering, looking up at the sky.

'Look, Addy. Those spirits look like garbage.

　The countless spirits that had emerged were being chased by fish-like monsters that doubled as spirits.
　The world fishes are now active and are eating the spirits.
　Fire. Of water... of water... of earth... Of earth. Of wind. Of light. Of wind. Of darkness. Of fire. Of the sea. Of earth. of the storm.
　The screams of the spirits who control various other attributes are echoing all over the place.

"Ni-cha!

　Stella was also straddling one of the boundary fish and smiling happily.
　In other words, that smile is the will of the star's will now.
　The goal is the eradication of all spirits. The elimination of the diseased nest that tormented itself.

'I wonder how many people will die tonight alone. Well, it doesn't really matter to me but we should at least be properly aware of the fact that there are casualties from what we've done.

　Tonight, the energy that had been managed by the spirits would be released as it was.
　So this other world will be restored to its original nature.
　The price of avoiding the destruction of the stars would be a natural catastrophe in every part of the world, which would claim many lives.

'Why is that?　Addy.

　As I watch the party of destruction and rebirth, I ask my daughter.

"Why can't we just be a father and son? Why do you care so much about being held by me?

　After a few moments of thought, Addie put her hand on her chest and returned his straight gaze.

'I want to be your father's wife. Would you believe me if I told you that's been my dream since I was a kid?
I can't.
Yeah.

　Adi laughed to himself.

'Then I'll explain it all to you properly from scratch. I know that men are creatures that don't understand women's minds.'

　A voice that sounds more cunning than bewitching hits my earbuds.
　My daughter is a reincarnated person who has gone through endless reincarnations.
　I'm sure she'll have a much better time than me in terms of the number of lives she's spent.

　I took a deep breath, and then Addy spoke softly.

'My father abandoned me and my mother.
It's a--
My mother stayed behind to raise me, didn't she? I'm listening.

　Adi shook her head, not wanting to blame me.

'When I was a kid, all I heard from my mom was stories about my dad. It's true that I had a childhood every time I was reincarnated, but it was only the first time I had a real childhood. It may be hard for you to imagine, but my memories of my first childhood are a treasure that will never fade. And I had an innocent trust that my father would come for me in those days.
And you're not gonna hate me?
Haha. I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a time like that. But it doesn't matter anymore. This is how we finally met, and I don't want to waste my time with such trivial pride.

　Addy looks up at me with a determined look on her face.

'Dad, take me as your wife.'

　The great spirit that had been chewed up by the 界魚 flashed like fireworks.

''If you do that, you won't be a daughter to me.
'You and your father, the destroyer of order, are going to take that kind of conservative common sense as a shield now?　Don't think you can get through on such a high note when you know it's sophistry yourself.

　They will find out as they should.
　I can't get away with it by talking.
　With a renewed resolve, I turned to Adi, too.

'Will you be happy if you're tied to me?'
Yes. I'm sure of it.
Well if that's the case, I can't stop you from meeting him.
"Let me see... what?　Who the hell are you--

　A girl slipped out of my shadow.

"It's nice to meet you, Adina Rose. I'm Evangeline. Please call me Eva.
'The one in the purple robe of the gods you're the Ava my mom told me about. The founder of the harem rule!
Oh, so it's true that you're Ituna's daughter, isn't it?

　Ava laughs at Addy's astonishment.

'You heard me right, Eva. I'm sure you're not the only one who's interested in this, but I'm sure you really want to be my wife. Is that all right?
It's not my decision to make, sir.
If it was a harem rule, I could recite it all by heart!

　Rule 1. I only take women who have agreed to be my wife, basically.
　Rule 2...I'll do whatever it takes to fulfill my pledge. Don't bring your moral compass into it.
　Rule 3: I will lie to you often. I won't tell you the whole truth. But don't question it.
　Rule number four, I already have several wives. Be nice to them.
　Rule number five, if I ask you to do something, don't say no. Always be ready for the night.
　Rule 6: I don't make you happy. You ought to make yourselves happy.
　Rule 7: Sometimes I put my unneeded wife in the sealing beads while she's sleeping. When she wakes up, don't complain about it, even if it's been a hundred years.
　Rule number one . I'll make more rules without asking. And when I do, you are going to be silent.

　All in all, Addy did a masterful job of manipulating them.

It's perfect. There is no rule at this time that says your own daughter can't be your wife, so I don't think that's a problem.
What if?
"...okay. Addy, I'm going to make you my wife.

　Addy's face lights up.

"Now I can finally be with my dad.
Eva.

　Before Addy could say anything else, I asked Ava.

'We can add more rules outside the rules, can't we?'
Yes, of course.
I'd like to add a new rule, then. 'Rule 8. I don't take my kids as wives. Can you do that?
Dad?

　Adi's expression was a mixture of astonishment and despair.
　Ava put her hand on her cheek as if she were thinking about it.

'I see........As long as you are my wife, you have to follow the rules. Once you have accepted her as your wife, are you using the rules to hunt down your daughter? It is possible, is that alright?　If we do that, though, Mr. Addy will be released and we'll never be able to welcome him again.
Please don't do it, Father!　I'm not going to force you anymore!
Addy....

　Addie squirmed to her chest and began to ramble and whine.
　Unable to shake it off indefinitely, I patted its head.

'This is not fair, this way!　I'm not convinced at all!

　That would be.........
　I didn't know how to convince Addy wholeheartedly.
　I thought and thought. In the end, the only thing I could come up with was this.　

'I am who you say I am. I'm a horrible man who abandoned his family to get revenge.

　Addy looked up, her face swollen with tears, as she huffed.

'No, no!　I didn't mean to hurt you--
You are such a man's unshadowed child. You're the only one who can follow me on my journey of free will if you're so inclined, truly...

　I leave my family and children in another world because the path I've chosen is bloody.
　There have been many times that I have thought about washing my feet.
　But "Summons and Pledges" and "Elixir of Immortality" wouldn't allow me to do so.
　Whenever my family falls apart, I have to return to my old wandering life in the end.

　So in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, I gave up having a family.
　Now, Tina and Shinji are waiting for me at the Winged Pavilion for the return of my substitute entity, but even so, they aren't really there to accompany me on my journey.
　I still receive memories of life with my happy family from the substitute entity, but those memories will eventually come to an end. I'll be the only one left behind.

　But Addy is different.

"Don't let my rules dictate what you do. I want you to be just like me. That's my honest to goodness truth.

　She's a being who, like me, is forever wandering the world, a free soul in this cancerous, tempestuous, god-filled universe of shit.
　A dream I sought in Alto and Lily and finally never fulfilled.
　I don't want to lose the happiness of knowing that it's my daughter, giving in to my temporary s*xual desire.

　For a moment, though, Addy looks into my eyes with a bit of sadness.

'Miss Eva.'

　Eventually, he opened his mouth without taking his gaze away.

'What is it?'
I'm not going to be my father's wife. You can do this, right?
'Of course. There's nothing in the rules that forces you to belong.
'Can I stay with my dad, even if I'm not a kid or a wife?'
Rule number one is just a general rule.

　I nodded, and Addy slowly pulled away from me.

"Dad. I'm not going to give up on you.
Addy. You still--
So please don't make up a Rule 8. Just don't take away my dream of one day being me.

　...so this is a good compromise.

All right. I'm not gonna make more rules.
Thank you.

　Addy bowed and turned on her heel.

'Where are you going?'
I'm going to go help the people of this world. I can't leave them alone.

　Oh, I see.
　You really are the child of Ituna....

Of course I am. I'm going to need your help, Addy.
...What?

　Adi looks back at you with a look of puzzlement on her face.

'Eva, I need you to break the first seal. Slowly so the world doesn't blow up.
Yeah, sure.

　Eva released the first seal that she had broken when she fought Lily-chan through the official procedure.
　After making sure I had complete control of it this time, I first activated my omnipotent senses to recognize the entire world.
　With a quick flick of my wrist as if I were beckoning her, the surrounding earth detached from the stars and floated up.
　Just like the inn town, it grants each and every one of the world a ward that protects all life.

'Wow. This is my father's power...!

　I shudder as Addy senses some of my power.
　You're going to be like this in the future, I thought as I opened my mouth.

'The wish I have been assigned is 'world stability'. But if we leave it unchecked, instead of fulfilling our wish, most of the human race will also die out.
'Sure I knew it was strange!　I wondered why my dad chose to go to the trouble of re-genesis, a method that would cost a lot of money...!
Yes, it will take time to stabilize the vast amount of energy that's flowing out. Of course, it won't be over in a day. But what if all that energy disappears into someone's stomach?

　Grinning, I shouted the name of that ability again.

'World Debugging Cheat, activate!　Other worlds, show us what's possible from a lost timeline!
No way, Dad!
'Its not true!　Turn all surplus energy into the remaining timeline........into a possible parallel universe!

　The tsunami that was looming off the coast.
　The magma that had been gushing from the volcano.
　The magic that gushed out of the cracked earth.

　All that raging energy was turning into fairytales!

'Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!　The scent of fair tiki is wafting up here, eeeeeeee!

　Telekinetic power stirs up all the fair chickens in the world above.

'The best ... the best ... the best of a different world!

　The way the infinite number of hokey fair tiki gathered together seemed to symbolize the way the other world should be.

''Ah, that's Fairchiki!　They say your mother was scared to death!
"Oh, you knew, Addy!
'That's it!　Just seeing a mere chicken was hard enough to put me in thunder god mode!

　Yeah, it's been tough this time, too.
　I really don't know how I managed to sulk my dislike of chicken so much.

''Well after all those horrible things I said, it's a little late for that now.

　

'Addy. Will you be my wife until this night is over?

　For a while, Addy was in a daze.

'Yes, I'd be delighted!'

　My darling daughter had a big smile on her face.

'Yes!　Stella, get that thing you were talking about!
'Yes!　Ni-cha and Neicha's baby!　Congratulations on your marriage!

　For some reason, Stella's figure on the world fish changed into a bouquet, and she jumped into Adi's raised hand.
　Then.

'Wow!'

　Me and Addy's image turned into a glowing giant and floated up into the sky.

'Awesome, this is awesome, Dad!

　It was honestly endearing to see a delighted Addy looking like a child frolicking for her age.

'Star guardian mode, that's what it's called. But still, isn't this a bit much?

　Perhaps Stella-chan had made her mind up, but our appearance was an elephant in the bride and groom's white outfits.

'Mmmm ... it's okay!　Now!

　Punska and an angry but happy Addie's shoulders in a hug.

'Ehehee.'

　Adi also seems to be full of it, and tugs at me tautly.

'Well, I'd better get going.

　Looking up at the sky, a swarm of fair tiki is finally covering the entire world, blocking out even the sunlight and trying to envelop the world in darkness.
　There was so much of it that it was overflowing from the center and was about to fall away.

'Well, what do we do now?'
I just told you. Eat it all up!
'Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!

　Adi's cries were empty, and we floated higher and higher into the sky.
　As the scent of chicken oil became stronger and stronger, Addy's face somehow became paler and paler.

''Funny!　This is the only trend that is absolutely crazy!
You just offered to help me!　It's okay ... we can do it now, I'm sure we can!
'My first joint effort is all-you-can-eat chicken, yikes!
Listen, daughter this is what it means to be my wife!

　We both became a single ray of light and jumped into the mass of fair tiki.
