Everyone boards the bus after looking around ' That was a great break ' Dennis didn't bother supporting Shrub's tour guide job since it was now going more smoothly .
She Loads the comfort of her bed and takes a nap for her body to relax . Kahnu was surprised Dennis could be asleep while sitting and Janine , who was beside her , thinks the same .
' I pushed for a seat beside her earlier because I was curious about her but now she is asleep ' Janine wonders if Dennis is asleep because she was already familiar with this world .
Kahnu tilts his head towards Janine and asked " Do you know her ? " " Yes , Crown prince of dragons . I met Dennis in a prior gathering , one with her as the focus . She offered cards that grant us skills , experience and knowledge that we want "
Janine showed a few skill cards that she accepted " The first card would be free , but also in a limited section to give you a feel of what you are offered . But the next cards are things you'll have to pay her . "
He grew interested in what Dennis had offered and asked more about the prior gathering " If I can recall , the noteworthy aspect was her strange use of her gift and coveting other gifts as she had requested a portion of a giftholder's gift "
Kahnu recalls sensing different powers within Dennis and wondered if she would like to get other kinds of power ' she does have potent magic for a human who belongs to a world that doesn't have magic '
Kahnu wonders what that had to do and notes how , despite her magic seeming powerful , he feels that something was keeping it down " Maybe she is interested in inheriting magic from my world ? "
" I wouldn't be able to answer that in her stead , I am only certain that she is interested in gifts as evidence of her past interaction with the giftholders before she sees you "
" Ho , you have quite a lot of eyes princess " " It's something necessary to know the people around me . " Janine said and both of them gave each other a look with narrowed eyes and a smile with pride and royal authority .
" Then I hope I can invite her to my world , even though most of the royalty is afraid of her , I'm sure the firstborn children wouldn't be afraid of her . And her magic is quite amazing . I wonder if others would find the prospect of having her child "
Janine smirked hearing that and recalls one conversation that Dennis had with a strange person with metal , one with their being " Unfortunately , she says that she doesn't marry for benefits and considers it a big part of her life . "
Kahnu thinks of ways to bring her to the world ' What am I thinking , I'm a crown prince , this type of stuff should be left to others ... But there's that curious thing about her '
He looks at Dennis's mana regeneration and feels that it is somehow being held back , like he had thought ' There's no point in asking that human princess , better to find time with Dennis . However , with how she clings to her secrets , I have some doubts whether she will even tell '
Kahnu looks at her resting body while the whole bus continues to pay attention to Shrub talking about their society . Saver Loads dreaming time on Dennis and turns on the screen in the giftspace living room .
' Are you serious ? ' Dennis looks at the footage showing an empty bus moving behind theirs ' I was just planning to sleep , but to think they actually came . why do the royals make such easy targets ? '
She wakes up in the middle of the royals' conversation and excuses herself " I'm borrowing Shrub for a while " ' You two hide the fact we are in an arena spell , Saver form a Saver barrier , Deks keep up with that illusion and Yeld keep watch of the atmosphere '
" Shrub , I have a request and it will be really outrageous , so when I whisper it to you . Keep a straight face and just nod and agree like I requested a sentenced slave " Dennis whispered
" Okay " " We are in an arena , right now they haven't attacked and I already made a set-up so you'll be fine like you never entered the arena . Leave the terrorist to me , I could use the experience , just entertain these sitting ducks "
Shrub kept his face straight and replied " That's gonna be hard to get , but if you are the customer , I'm sure they'll be more lenient " Shrub said and Dennis cloned herself , leaving a clone to take her resting place while she uses State on the door to mold it and inconspicuously leaves .
She climbed to the top of the bus "All done" Deks said and gave her a few skill cards " HEY LOSERS , IF YOU ARE GONNA GET THESE DUCKS WHO'S APPROVAL YOU'LL NEVER GET YOU'LL HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME "
A rocket flew and blasted the back , emitting some gas , which Saver Saves along with the force . Dennis removes Slowpoke and spots traces of teleportation magic and Saves them with Saver Arrows " Seems like they're doing the same plan , Children disappear , follow our demands blablabla "
Dennis looks at her hands being molded with Piko's Viscraft and State ' I should focus a bit more on State , I had to give Merger the image so I can get the pseudo gift and who knows what might happen if I don't use it very often '
Dennis reaches to the sky and uses State to make a bow from the sky ' There are still a few problems with these , like it would be lethal , mom is fine if I kill one person in self-defense , but if I become some soldier with enough merits for killing in war , she'd be really mad '
Dennis loads the gas and turns it into a solid arrow ' Let's edit this State effect , give it a timer and ensure it blasts a wind of this gas ' Dennis also grabs the Lion's gift and fiddles with it as more rockets fire and vehicles begin appearing outside .
The bus begins moving off course " Maybe the driver is in on this " Dennis begins firing arrows , but it doesn't seem like all of the terrorists are stupid . As they were already wearing gas mask .
So Dennis changed her arrows ' Let's see , Lion's gift of servitude and then add State's ability to turn solid into a state of honey-like viscosity ' Dennis fired at a vehicle and it stopped in its tracks , turned into a mush as the passengers were marked by a mark of servitude from another gift .
' I'll just call this one Grant ' Dennis thought at first , worried that it might become another sibling for them . But it didn't really matter to her right now " But shooting will get boring "
So while she was firing solid to honey viscosity State arrows , she was also thinking about the use of State ' Maybe I'm thinking too small , targeting only the state of matter '
She had dangerous ideas that could be too much for the world , but since this was the arena , it didn't matter . As soon as the idea landed on her head , she stopped the attack .
The remaining terrorist was surprised by it and began attacking . They watched Dennis jump off the roof and claw her way down from the side of the bus , molding it with State as she went lower .
As soon as she reaches close to the ground , she channels State to her feet " Let's make the world go round " she stomps on the ground and it shifts like bendy straw as the ground shifts as if to lead the vehicles to the underworld .
While the bus continued forward , the other vehicles followed the road down and the terrorist fired grappling guns , which hook themselves , allowing them to hang from below while Dennis hung beside the bus .
They looked around to assess what Dennis had caused and the bus turned with Force Arrows circling it as the terrorists were about to slam onto wooden and stone roofs . A few crashed into them without being able to recover their footing and Dennis Saves them into Savings while Saving their time .
A few more trained were able to shift their positions and run through the roofs while grappling ropes connected them to the bus . They jumped and started closing in as the ropes that connect to the hook shortens .
Dennis climbs back up on the roof and slams her palms to the side as if there were two walls beside her . The terrorist felt the ground rising and saw that the whole road was folding into itself to form a tunnel using the terrain .
While they were terrified of this worldly control , Dennis was marveled by how much State was growing . At first , it was control over things near her , but as her imagination spiked and she inputs more knowledge , it began to grow more .
But what made her more elated was that it was no longer giving off the presence that she kept sensing and was becoming more different as she let her creativity fold and twist the world .
" This is amazing " she didn't want to just twist and fold the terrain , she wanted to do more . Dennis clenched her fist and slammed it down on an imaginary table like a judge in court .
The asphalt rose from the ground like a huge wave in the ocean and the attackers grew anxious about the attack , but something caused them to continue in their pursuit . The asphalt wave crashed into the building as they quickly got closer to the bus .
But some still got caught in the wave and were Saved into Savings . Dennis opens her hand and strikes the virtual ceiling as the middle section of the tunnel opens , showing them the sky .
Her palms turned to grab something high up and she pulled it down as the tunnel began closing in . The last two jumped and the ropes pulled them close while they fired bullets at Dennis .
She grabs the bullets and as they got on the roof , Dennis subdues one quickly , Saving them away . As for the other , she Granted them a mark of servitude , overriding the one they had and told them .
" Tell your fellows that you completed what you came for " the mark worked its magic and as soon as the message got through , the debris that was caused from smashing disappeared and the last one was Saved away .
Shrub was surprised by the sudden appearance of new people " What the ? " they were surprised to see all of them doing well , like they weren't attacked .
The roof opened like a cargo box and Dennis fell through . She equips a super regeneration and uses Piko's Viscraft to stretch out his arms and covered them with sleeves made by Yeld .
Each hand took hold of a terrorist on the bus and Saves them . As soon as they were gone , the monstrous arms that came out of Dennis stretched back into her and she took her clone's place .
Pictures showed her a terrifying photo album of her in a dress with elongated arms stretching out , covered by a red sleeve . There were different perspectives taken too , which she kept inside Shelves , creating a photo album book to store them .
Everyone looked at her , terrified and she said " You're welcome " The passengers didn't know what they had gone through " Yes , thank you again Dennis , for that effective handling of the terrorist "
Shrub said gladly " Here's the evidence " Dennis gave Shrub a USB containing some memories of the terrorist , which she didn't bother looking . The ride continued with most staring and keeping away from Dennis as if she could pounce all of a sudden and by the time they got into their hotels for dinner and lounging .
' Mom lied , this is not a one-day banquet ' Dennis wondered how long the day had been , but blamed some of it on the terrorist and her Loading of time ' I am truly regretting everything . '
Dennis fills her plate and Saves gravity on the plate to let it stay in place ' I could use State , but Saver really likes to have a lot in the storage ' Dennis makes a pyramid out of her plate while Shrub quickly stops the staff from stopping her from filling her plate and immediately assist in bringing more food in .
Dennis sat at a table and Routen came , surprised to see Dennis occupying so much space , while Kahnu also came with a bunch of nervous bodyguards watching from behind . Willow and Famadi also came occupying the other half of the table with Dennis on the other half .
" Should I just say that we can exempt you from the bodyguard program " Willow joked and Dennis shook her head , stuffing it and using Pictures to talk " You don't know how annoying it is to deal with everyone when your powers enable you to look like this "
Dennis showed the terrifying photos of her many armed form " Your mom is gonna have a field day with scolding you for choosing that form " " I'm prepared " ' As in I have an excuse '
She kept gorging herself while Kahnu couldn't hide his curiosity anymore " How do you do all that ? " Kahnu asked and Dennis said " Long story , don't want to explain "
Willow knew that there was no way anyone could keep track of Dennis's growth " Are you keeping those terrorists with you ? " Willow asked and Dennis nodded while Famadi comments .
" If anyone were none the wiser , they would've assumed that you were from my world with that terrifying form " Famadi said " But why are you keeping those terrorists with you ? " Kahnu asked and since Dennis had already denied him an answer , Willow explained .
" She wants to have time with her , the original ability of her gift was to store time and save it for later . But it is useful in subduing enemies quickly with a touch "
" That's unfair " Famadi said " I know " Dennis said and then Routen finally found the opportunity and started bombarding Dennis with questions enthusiastically .
" How did you attain that form ? What about those red sleeves ? Is there some limit that your power has ? " Dennis generates an elongated arm and puts his beak together to silence him .
" When I do this , I'm actually using a Viscraft that I learned from my slave to tear my body and fill the gaps using regeneration-type superpower . And I do it fast "
Dennis pulls the elongated arm back and Routen asked " What about controlling it ? " " Easy , I can even handle clones of myself , so having extra arms isn't that hard to control "
Dennis continues eating and Routen keeps asking . She got tired of it and after getting a message from Shrub about how the hotel is almost out of ingredients , she finished another plate and went to her room .
' It's supposed to be for me and mom ' she got the luggage her mom had left and takes some pajamas ' I need a long hot bath ' she runs the water and soaks her body while noting the things she has to do ' I have to do a lot of investigations on a lot of world but at least I can confirm that slave world is free from the influence and presence of the eldritch '
Dennis thought about her naming and all the slaves that she purchased that got enough capital or a job through her mother and her friends " Maybe it's a bit degrading to call it Slave world , Maybe Rule world is better "
The bathtub was full of hot water and Dennis soaks into it while Yeld starts turning it into hot spring water " Oh you sure are very accommodating " Yeld gladly expresses joy with Deks's skill card .
Dennis thinks about the courses she wants to listen to , but this was just so comforting that she wanted to relax ' I guess it is good to relax once in a while ' "I make cold milk ?" Yeld asked and Dennis said .
" No , I want to try something else , just make chocolate and miilk separately " she had explored State being used to mold the world and even space ' Better call it Mold , but since it can turn an ice cube into water , it definitely has more things like temperature control , but it might just relate to controlling the molecules to match the state desired '
Yeld makes milk and chocolate while Dennis uses State on the chocolate , but instead of turning it directly into liquid chocolate , she slowly melts it by modifying State and does the same to Milk .
She stirred the two together and when it earned that consistent light brown color , her thoughts drifted to Hue and picked the color that matched the mixture " Oh , maybe this can work " using Hues , she started making different kinds of drinks .
She recalls the drink that changes colors and recalls its exotic and ever-changing taste . Yeld was also excited and wanted to make it too and Dennis zoomed out of the hues to capture all the colors and Yeld made the drink .
Dennis drank it and it was familiar but also different " The sequence of taste is different " Dennis had a thought and asked the three gifts " Do you think there is a gift called Sequence ? "
They thought it through and all pointed at Arrow " Oh , that's right , but Arrow is more like a sequence of growth and change . I meant a sequence like a Sequence of events . It's much different from Arrow , which grows things , while Sequence is like a straight line that can't branch out "
Saver receives a message from Miss Debrah and tells Dennis about it " Huh , Seriously , God can this night get any worse " Dennis looked at the bed and checked for cameras .
" Saver , you handle what grandma wants from you , Yeld , think you can help ? " Yeld agrees and Dennis prepares on her end and ties a bathrobe around her .
...
The doorbell rang and Dennis checked to see Willow inside " Hey Dennis " Willow greeted , entering the room , which had gotten some privacy and defensive measures .
" You sure are protective of your room " Willow sat on a couch by the window and Dennis went to her bed in the middle " Of course I am , after all those attacks , I gotta protect my sleep "
" I was just checking , but with how you are still in that bathrobe , I guess you don't care " " It's comfy , I should find a way to buy a bathrobe like this . Gotta send a list of things that I want to Shrub so the guys handling this world's affairs can produce a reward "
" You are really going to ask a big-time slave trader like Shrub for a bathrobe " " It's just a thought , they say that they want to show that they are rich and willing to thank and compensate me for my troubles so far . I only want the island they held that venue in because it was really beautiful "
" That's cause they hired a lot of elves or those familiar with nature in decorating it . They bought and replanted a lot of trees with the help of elves , woodland immigrants and terrifyingly efficient logistics to handle it . Honestly , I would want to live there if I could too . The architecture matches the environment so well "
" Rule world is very efficient in accumulating wealth with the amount of rules they have , as well as the ridiculous amount of education on rules . I'm sure they had a lot of experience when doing business outside their world "
" Didn't you call it Slave world before ? " " That's cause their main export was slaves a long time ago . And now I've got to know it more than before , so renaming it was only the right thing to do "
Dennis got to grab her things and put on her nightwear " If that's all , I'm going to sleep " Dennis threw her pillows onto herself and embraced them all with her limbs .
" I heard people who hug pillows to sleep use it to compensate for emotional intimacy " Willow said and with a straight face , Dennis replies " I did ask for a massive teddy bear and cried when it got washed "
Willow wondered if there was an article or video that explained that people open about their feelings are mentally stronger because they don't feel shame and are confident in their self-identity .
" So are you into things that aren't human ? " " More like I am into things that I can control " Willow was surprised to hear that sudden confession of Dennis's type " So you do have a type ? "
" Mostly based on having something that I can shamelessly embrace like these pillows during sleep " " So you want someone that has smooth scales and a heart that listens to you " Willow starts to tease Dennis and even suggests one of Kahnu's younger siblings or any of Routen's elder siblings and Routen himself .
" No , they have too much personality " Willow stopped in her tracks and thought deeply about what Dennis had just said " What ? " " Kahnu seems like a pest for moving around , Routen feels more like an enthusiastic study partner , but he is going to bother me . If anything , I'd like someone who just lets me do what I want "
Willow was so confused about Dennis's type and then heard " Well , it's not like I can easily find one that convenient . Even though I say I want one that can let me do what I want to them , I also want them to have their own personality , but not too much "
...
Shrub submitted the USB to a human who is the head of the security " Here you go sir , I hope you can handle this one well " " Thanks for trusting me on this . A lot of outsiders are questioning if I was doing well and even pointed out that it would've been better if I had used my gift properly . "
" Oh , it's fine , honestly , gift holders who can spread their skills that far are different . But you could visit Dennis , she has been a great giftholder and even helped the others make theirs so much better " Shrub said and The head smiles .
" Yep , her gift sure is interesting " ' Especially that Upgrade gift she used in front of everyone ' he takes the USB and starts watching through it and makes a few edits before preparing to present it to the higher-ups who have been demanding an answer on why security was horrible .
" I need a portal back " he asked a mage slave who creates a portal with ease . He walks through the venue and announces " I'd like to apologize for my inadequacies in our security endangering your children two times today , but with the effort of one guest , we were able to track down the head of the terrorist group "
The USB's footage played and showed a memory of the terrorist speaking to the boss , but before the face could be revealed , an explosion triggered .
The news spread as flyers from birds under the control of the mark of servitude dropped papers and any TV and radio imported to this world was hacked , especially the hotel where the banquet's other guest was staying .
" To all royals who have left the venue , your elders and family are now in my hand " a hollowed voice sounded as they told their demands " We will be trapping you in this world with the power stored in every living being through your rule magic . "
The stars no longer became visible as a much closer light appeared , drawing a massive rule magic formation to impose it on everyone " And there will be an all-power inhibitor that will prevent you from using any form of power "
The formation slowly forms as the voice continues " Anything from simple chemical reactions up to the unfamiliar power of gifts are gone , you will no longer have access to such weapons "
A few Fantasia world natives fell on the ground as their bodies were weighed heavily by the mass , with their immense magic supporting them " This is bad , really , really bad " Hazel said not feeling the ability to teleport and Willow calmed her down .
" Hazel , panicking will not do anything and so will staying calm for the whole situation , but it's not like panicking is good " Hazel said while Elron wondered how they could solve this issue .
" If they can create an attack like this , they must've been very strong to be able to do so or they have planned for years . Maybe there's an insider with how there have been two attacks today in the morning and afternoon "
While Elron assessed the problem , a few can only think about Dennis thanks to her past involvement " No , I don't think she can handle it , unless we can use these "
While Janine feels her skill card active as she tends to a nearby Fantasia native , she has confirmed with a few people that they can't use the more offensive abilities .
Mia tapped on Janine and showed her hand , which made a piece of bread " Miss , didn't they say that even gifts don't work ? " Janine looks at the gift holder group and has the idea of calling Dennis for help .
