On the day of Eren leaving the Oni dungeon. Morning 10 AM.

Ror and Eren were busy talking and finalizing a few details.

"Where can I find this setup?"

Eren asked Ror while narrowing his eyes and looking at the void. He was sitting on a royal throne in the sacred hall. Ror replied from his kneeled position down by the throne's pedestal.

"My king, an Ogre named Bigua, has it. He has a big tribe backing him up. I can help you"

Ror was about to suggest that he come with Eren to take care of his business for him. But Eren shook his head before cutting him off.

"No need, Ror. I'll inform you when I need you to use the channel created by Alephee. You can come outside by then.

A guy like you would attract too much attention even if I used the array to transform your appearance. It's better that I handled the situation on my own as much as I can.

I am sure Alephee has guided you through operating the array. You can make use of the array. Stay ready and on standby in case I summon any of you guys."

One of the big reasons Eren was not ready to take Ror outside was the fact that he had advanced too much in his evolutionary path. He was sure that the kingdom of Edinburgh would have various means at their disposal to keep track of people like him.

Eren's assumption was right on the mark. The forces of Anfang would indeed be wary of monsters of Ror's levels. They wouldn't necessarily try to hunt them. But they would make sure these monsters stayed in check. Bigua was one such example.

Eren had planned to take over Bigua's tribe after listening to the details provided to him by Ror. It seemed that Eren wanted something the quasi Ogre Overlord had. So replacing him as the leader was the easiest way to get hold of it.

Kaal was an Ogre Lord who was far from stepping into his next evolutionary stage. As such, Bigua could be considered an opponent he wouldn't be able to beat. Eren also realized that he needed to use monster rituals to his advantage instead of just battling them to create a mess afterward.

However, Eren decided that he would deal with this later. He'll first do recon on Bigua before thinking of getting rid of him. He knew Kaal would serve as a helpful asset to him when the butcher accomplishes making him the chieftain of Bigua's tribe.

What Eren didn't know at this point was the fact that Bigua had struck a deal with the special forces of Edinburgh. He also didn't know that the war with the kingdom of Layos was incoming.

A lot of Eren's plans were based on the future he knew from his past timeline. However, there was no war with the kingdom of Layos in his past timeline. As such, he hadn't planned anything regarding the war.

Eren and Ror talked at length finalizing a few details. He then talked with two other Monster Overlords Gnoll Overlord and Goblin Overlord. He also told them to proceed through the array process, telling them to be on standby. Unlike Ror who was close to becoming a Monster King, these two Monster Overlords had just stepped into their current evolutionary stage. Plus, they did not have as many responsibilities as Ror who was currently in charge of the Oni subspace as a whole.

Thus, Eren could make use of these two Overlords if he saw the need of using overwhelming and outright force.

"Lord Husband, how do I look?"

Kirin asked, suddenly appearing beside Eren in a stylish outfit he had given her yesterday. He didn't want her to walk in revealing clothes outside the Oni Dungeon. She would stop being an Oni princess outside the subspace.

Thus, Eren had Alephee conjure a typical outfit for her. The homunculus didn't like the fact that she was being used as a clothmaker. But she sighed after arguing a bit with Eren. In the end, she agreed and did what was asked of her.

This was Kirin's first time wearing human-like clothes and gear. She was wearing dark brown cargo leather pants and corset-type, sleeveless leather armor over a full-sleeve white top.

She had tied her shoulder-length golden hair at the back of her head, revealing her shapely neck a bit. She had long bangs that she had tucked behind either side of her ears.

Alephee needed existing artifacts and runes to upgrade the artifacts. As such, the clothes she had provided Kirin were like mortals' clothes.

However, it was not like Kirin was in dire need of ranked armor. She gave off the aura of a C-Ranker. Nobody would try to mess with her casually.

She wore clothes like a typical adventurer, except that her looks made her stand out blatantly. As such, the butcher just pulled her towards him and made her sit on his lap before replying.

"My darling, your skin is so soft, I feel like I'm touching the clouds. Your green eyes are enough to hypnotize me thousand times over.

Your voice would add cheer to the most dreary day. Your attire makes you look exceptionally gorgeous."

Eren kept on praising Kirin while talking with Ror from time to time. The Ogre Overlord also showed remarkable patience in front of his king, who seemed a bit occupied with his wife.

Alephee who was standing not too far away from the throne had stress lines on her face when she listened to Eren throwing so many cheesy lines at Kirin.

She had thought that the butcher would only compliment women when he wanted to ensure his chances with them. But Kirin was already committed to him. Thus, she could only conclude that Eren was sincere in his romance with her.

'Is he really the "seed" they are talking about? The inheritor of Eternal Echor they fear so much.'

Alephee smiled to herself when she looked at Eren's way of handling things while having these thoughts. But when all was said and done, she was content that Eren had turned out this way.

An abomination that nobody would see coming for them.

Eren, Alephee, Kirin, and Kaalmaahen left the Oni dungeon after a few hours. They were heading straight for the city of White Raven.
