"It seems I have no choice but to risk it all," Roy declared, referring to his most powerful technique: Ice Emperor Dragon.
It was a technique used for destruction and absorption. Anything caught in it would be frozen solid, even the surrounding Space. It was incredibly destructive and could only be used against powerful opponents.
However, it was also a difficult technique to master. Roy hadn't been able to use it before.
But now, he had no choice. If he didn't kill Tezcatlipoca, this world would be destroyed.
"Lucoa-san, move back. I don't know if I can control this technique," Roy said with a serious expression.
"Okay." Lucoa nodded and retreated to a safe distance.
Roy took a deep breath and began gathering his magic power.
The temperature plummeted, and the nearby sea froze over.
An icy aura swirled around him, his form gradually disappearing into the mist.
The mist expanded, covering hundreds of miles.
ROAR!!!
A dragon's roar echoed from within the mist.
The mist dissipated, revealing a colossal ice dragon in Roy's place.
Its majestic form, dwarfed even Lucoa's dragon form.
It was over ten thousand meters long, its body stretching beyond the horizon.
Tezcatlipoca, having recovered from his injuries and extinguished the black flames, stared at the ice dragon in shock.
He then threw a punch.
But Roy swung his massive tail, effortlessly blocking the attack.
The sight of the colossal dragon filled Tezcatlipoca with fear.
But Roy showed no mercy. He lunged at Tezcatlipoca, his massive jaws wide open.
Tezcatlipoca, a giant thousands of meters tall, seemed insignificant compared to Roy's ten-thousand-meter long dragon form.
Roy swallowed him whole.
Tezcatlipoca's body instantly froze within the dragon's maw, then shattered into countless ice crystals.
He was gone.
"He did it!" Lucoa exclaimed, her eyes filled with relief and admiration as she looked at the ice dragon.
The ice dragon then dissipated, revealing Roy's pale face.
That technique had consumed almost all of his magic power.
And he had been lucky to successfully execute it.
Otherwise, defeating Tezcatlipoca would have been impossible.
"Roy, are you alright?" Lucoa asked, rushing to his side and supporting him.
"I'm fine. Just a bit drained," Roy replied, shaking his head.
"That's good. Do you need a magic replenishment?"
"Huh?" Roy looked at her, confused.
Lucoa's sudden suggestive offer caught him off guard.
"Are you trying to drain me dry?" he asked with a playful glare.
....
But as they were joking, something stirred within the spatial rift the giant had opened earlier.
Ometeotl, the Creator God of the Aztec pantheon, suddenly opened his eyes.
He sensed the death of his child, Tezcatlipoca, and was enraged.
"Creator God!"
"Father!"
Several other gods appeared before Ometeotl.
"I sense that Tezcatlipoca has perished. Go and investigate," he commanded.
"Yes!"
The gods dispersed.
Roy also felt a sense of unease.
He looked at the still-open spatial rift, his expression grim.
He could sense powerful auras beyond the rift.
"Lucoa, close the rift," he said urgently.
His magic power was depleted. He could only rely on Lucoa.
Lucoa, sensing the danger, immediately closed the rift and erased any traces of its existence.
Roy sighed in relief. He had forgotten...
The Aztec mythology had a whole pantheon of gods, including the creator god, Ometeotl.
Now that they had killed Tezcatlipoca, the Aztec gods were undoubtedly in an uproar.
But it didn't matter to him. He was leaving this world anyway.
And when he returned, he would be strong enough to face the entire Aztec pantheon.
....
"Roy, are you alright?"
"What happened to that villain?"
Tohru and the others rushed over, worried.
Seeing that the battle was over, they had come to check on him.
"Don't worry, we defeated him," Roy reassured Tohru, patting her head.
"Really? That's great!" Tohru sighed in relief.
"So, Tohru, is your wish for world peace fulfilled?" Elma asked curiously.
She didn't think achieving world peace was that simple.
"Well, that depends on my father-in-law. I'm not getting involved in their affairs anymore," Roy replied with a shrug.
"Yes, my wish has been fulfilled," Tohru said with a happy smile.
"And my revenge is complete. What now...?" Lucoa wondered.
"Haha, now you all come home with me. We'll leave this world's problems behind," Roy declared with a grin.
He would leave the rest to the Dragon Emperor.
After all, even if they defeated the gods, true peace was unlikely.
....
Roy then took Tohru, Kanna, and the others back to the human world.
They left without a second thought, leaving the Dragon Emperor to deal with the aftermath.
Back in Roy's apartment...
"Ah, it's good to be home," Lucoa sighed contentedly, stretching out on the sofa.
"Yes, but now that the world is at peace, we can stay here forever, right?" Tohru asked, hugging a pillow and imagining their happy future.
"Of course not. Didn't I say I would take you all home?" Roy reminded her.
"Eh? That's right!"
"What's Roy's home like?" Ilulu asked curiously, clinging to his arm.
"It's a very big castle. And there are many children around your age, Ilulu. You can make lots of friends there. And you can go to school too," Roy explained with a smile, patting her head.
"School..." Ilulu's eyes sparkled with interest. Kanna also seemed excited.
"Mmm... as long as I have delicious food every day, I'm happy," Elma declared.
"Don't worry, my Storage magic is filled with food made by Saeko and Shizuka. I guarantee you'll have different dishes every day," Roy assured her.
Elma's eyes widened in anticipation.
"Tohru, what about you?" Roy asked, noticing her silence.
"As long as I'm with Roy, I'll go anywhere," Tohru replied with a smile.
Roy was touched. Tohru was truly the best.
"Then we'll be leaving in a few days."
He had decided to hold off on their departure because he wanted to give them a proper wedding ceremony.
Tohru had seen a wedding on TV and was quite envious.
Roy still remembered her longing expression.
It would be troublesome to hold a wedding after returning to his world.
But he didn't tell them beforehand. He wanted to surprise them.
...
The next day, Roy, having prepared everything for the wedding, gathered the girls.
"Let's go Hanami (flower viewing)," he suggested.
(Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers)
"Flower viewing? Sure!"
"There will be lots of delicious food, right?"
"One of my acquaintances turned into a flower too!"
The girls readily agreed.
Roy didn't even need to use his persuasive skills.
"Then let's go."
He teleported them to a vast grassland with a beautiful cherry blossom grove.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! So many cherry blossoms!"
The girls were amazed by the sight.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Roy asked, pleased with their reaction.
"Then let's enjoy the flowers."
He had prepared picnic blankets and snacks under the cherry blossom trees.
"Yay!"
The girls sat down, admiring the beautiful scenery and enjoying the snacks.
They chatted happily, their hearts filled with joy.
"How about some entertainment?" Tohru suggested, lying on Roy's lap.
"That's a good idea. I'll go first!" Elma declared, standing up.
"Oh?" Roy was surprised. He hadn't expected Elma to have prepared something.
Elma removed her coat, revealing her belly, which had a face painted on it.
"Is she going to do a belly dance?"
"Wow!"
"What are you doing?"
...
"Heehee! This is my special skill. I've been practicing!" Elma declared proudly, swaying her hips.
"Hahaha! That's hilarious!" Tohru burst into laughter.
'Is it really that funny?' Roy wondered, looking at Tohru.
He didn't find it amusing at all.
But Elma's figure was indeed impressive.
"Alright, it's time to move on to the main event," Roy announced, standing up.
"What?" The girls looked at him curiously.
"Everyone, gather around."
Tohru and the others gathered around him.
Even Est and Ren emerged from their spirit seals.
Snap!
Roy snapped his fingers, and the girls' clothes transformed into beautiful white wedding dresses.
His own clothes also changed into a wedding suit.
"Today, we're having a wedding!" he declared with a smile.
The girls were touched.
They hadn't expected Roy to hold a wedding ceremony. Although they were Dragons and didn't care much for human customs, they were still moved by his gesture.
"Tohru, I love you. Will you stay with me forever?" Roy said, facing Tohru.
"Yes, I love you too!" Tohru replied, wiping away her tears and nodding earnestly.
Roy smiled and placed a wedding ring on her finger.
He then turned to Elma.
"Elma, I love you. Will you be with me forever?"
Elma blushed, speechless.
"I do," she finally managed to say.
Roy put a ring on her finger.
He then repeated the process with Lucoa, Ilulu, Kanna, Est, and Ren Ashdoll.
"Now you're all my wives," Roy declared with a satisfied nod.
"Roy!" Tohru couldn't contain herself any longer and leaped into his arms.
Lucoa and Ilulu followed suit, tackling him to the ground.
Laughter filled the air under the cherry blossom trees.
