Isekai Life as Ōtsutsuki

Chapter 39 – Schemes Begin to Unfold



Several minutes took for them to separate as neither of them said a word because Yakou just chose to be silent on this and let Kirihara say. But seeing that his fianceé wasn't saying anything, which was just adding up to the weird tension that was between them.

"So, it was some kind of biological reaction to my show of power or something else?"

Similar to dragons, the Ōtsutsukis were attracted to power and females sought powerful males, while males sought powerful females. For them, personal power was one of the deciding factors when it came to pursuing a romantic relationship.

So Yakou was thinking if her unstable emotions were stemming from the fact that his power was lately growing leaps and bounds; even right now, he was several times stronger than Kirihara.

"What do you think of this? Is it duty? Or is it physical attraction, or do you think of us of something else?"

After a prolonged silence, it was Kirihara who asked the single question as he fell into deep thought.

Among the Clan, cases of truly "love" relationships between the Clasnemn, especially among the Divine Lineage and some very powerful and noble Myraided Ōtsutsukis, were rare cases.

Those like his parents could be actually counted on one hand. His grandfather married out of duty because it was expected from him, and he and his grandmother grew romantically involved only after thousands of years of marriage.

Like most of the Clansmen, Yakou didn't really dwell on his feelings too much and because they had time, he was always taking space "there is enough time" and unfortunately for him, his experiences from his past life equaled to zero.

Though aside from the time he spent with high-class prostitutes to lose his virginity and to occasionally have sex, that was all.

He spent his life, the new life he was granted by training, because he firmly believed that only the strongest had the right to live; thus, he was using any advantage he was given to increase his power.

And it paid off.

"Frankly speaking, no, it is not duty and while physical attraction is certainly a factor, it is not the reason. During the time we have spent together, I have noticed that I started harboring feelings for you, though, at the expense of my own cowardice, I was waiting for you to make the first move... If I made one and got rejected, it would make it extremely awkward between us."

In the end, Yakou spoke his honest feelings as they were and Kirihara could understand him very well.

Their future marriage and the creation of a child between them was something set in stone and something that neither of them could avoid or influence.

Something like this, what was decided by the Patriarch and Elder Council, was something that neither of them could refute.

While Yakou was saying everything in his usual cold analytical voice, Kirihara could feel his emotions because he didn't bother to hide them, like hiding his body language.

"To your question... yes, partially like any other Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, I am attracted to power, that is an undeniable fact, but at the same time, I am attracted to you as a person."

Yakou could work with this and at the same time, he appreciated her honesty about the matters... obviously, if she told him that she was solely attracted to him as a person, he wouldn't really believe her.

"I think we could work with this."

Yakou said as they spent the rest of their journey to Planet Tengoku talking about their relationship and what to do in the future.

Planet Tengoku, some time later.

After they arrived at the planet Tengoku, the first thing Yakou did after landing down was that he passed the captured Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon to the people from the Enforcement Hall who were already waiting there for him.

There were several Saint Realm Ōtsutsukis and one Holy Lord Realm Elder who took the Divine Emissary into their custody from the sealed room.

After the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon was taken into custody, his unconscious form was transported to one of the Ancestors who could read his mind.

That was because they found out that his memories and soul were protected by the might of the Tier 6 Overgod.

Somewhere on the planet Tengoku, an elderly man of the Divine Lineage Ōtsutsuki was looking at the unconscious form of the Divine Emissary of the Evil God Pantheon as his eyes shined brightly.

He stroked his long beard with a grave expression as he looked at the abomination before him.

"So that was their plan..."

Now that they have obtained the information from the Divine Emissary, they have a complete image of the situation between the two factions.

From the previous core of the Commander Automaton, they managed to obtain information that somewhere in the Unknown Regions of Space that was created recently was a Dimensional Pathway to an entirely new Origin World.

The Automatons wanted to exchange that world with the Evil God Pantheon for their support against the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Other Pantheons hated machines because the Automatons were most commonly annihilated everything from the flesh.

Only the Evil God Pantheon would deal with the Automatons of the Architect System.

"If the rest of them knows that it would certainly create a civil war... interesting, but the matter with new Origin World cannot be ignored either."

From the information, they were aware that the Automatons had already started sending scouts on the other side, but the strongest that was allowed to cross over the Dimensional Pathway was only Tier 2 right now.

"It seems that I will need to make the trip personally; obtaining the Dimensional Pathway is the utmost priority for the Clan."

He was one of the three Paragons of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Right now, one of the Paragons was observing the planet known as Elemental Nations, while the other two remained within the Planet Tengoku.

Closing his eyes, he sent a message to the Patriarch and all Grand Elders to call a meeting of the Elder Council to decide on the plan.

While from the information, they were aware that the new Origin World wasn't very strong... but at the same time, it was still a huge Origin World, approximately as big as the Starveil Origin World.

The resources they could obtain from it are tremendous.
