Chronoa: "You're still so reckless, but I love you so much, Karna!"Chronoa dropped a kiss on Karna's cheek.
Chloe: "No fair, Chronoa, taking advantage like that."
Chloe, who had just appeared, did the same, planting a kiss on Karna's other cheek.
Karna: "So, I have met my destined ones... my own student."
Both Chloe and Chronoa looked exactly the same. Being hugged and kissed by two beauties like this is not good for my health.
My heart is beating unusually fast.
Chronoa giggled and leaned in, kissing Karna gently on the lips.
Before karna could say anything, Chloe followed suit, giving him a soft kiss right after Chronoa.
Suddenly, I felt another presence behind me.
Karna: "Good to know that you are fine as well, Hinata."
Hinata: "Oh, well, aren't you sitting pretty, Karna? You didn't even know if I could come back, but I see it's not bothering you too much."
Karna: "I don't know if we can call you safe yet or not. But I'm glad to see you."
Hinata: "Thanks." Her cheeks were a tiny bit red.
Karna then leaned closer to Hinata and whispered, "You know, Hinata, your fight against Veldora... I watched it through his memories.
The way you fight. My that was quite beautiful.
"Hinata: "W-What are you saying, idiot?! Stop teasing me!" Her face turned even redder as she tried to look away, crossing her arms defensively.
While chloe and chronoa laughed at her.
Karna: "Okay, let's go back."
As my vision returns to me, I see that I had not moved at all, yet Chronoa had fallen to the ground.
I quickly pick up Chronoa's body and carry her in a princess carry to where Hinata's body lay, then gently lay her down beside Hinata.
Luminas took down Granbell. He passed his power (hope) to Chloe, but instead of Chloe, it entered me.
He made a baffled expression but soon laughed heartily and turned into light particles.
I then used Ultimate Skill Shakti to separate Hinata's soul from Chloe and resurrect her.
While I was healing, Leon entered Tempest because of a message he received from Laplace.
"Karna..." Chloe said as she jumped at me. I thought her body would be difficult to catch in the position I was in, yet she changed into her child form and hugged me. I obviously hugged her back.
"Oi. What is the meaning of this?" Leon asked as he saw me hugging Chloe. Meanwhile,
Hinata was glaring at me.
( is she jealous. Karna thought)
Leon glared at me with pure hostility and tried to separate me and Chloe. Chloe then turned into her adult form and looked at Leon.
"Leon, you're being overly clingy as you used to be! Don't I always tell you that you'll never find a girlfriend that way? And besides, Karna is my fiancé!"
And she just kissed me on the lips... literally broking Leon.
Leon had his world shattered, and after Chloe had separated from her kiss, he held my shoulders and started to shake me violently.
Leon: "Karna!!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"
calm down, calm down! I will explain it later," I said to him.
Leon: "Huh? Don't say you'll explain it later! Explain it now!!!"
And so, after another commotion, they agreed on a meeting in Tempest...
< >
Yuuki trusted his instincts and fled from Tempest while Karna was busy fighting Chronoa.
The damage he received was more emotional than physical.
He lay down with his limbs spread out, eyes closed.
But his heart and mind were in turmoil because he had fought against a powerhouse of the world. Considering there are many monsters who are on par or maybe stronger than karna.
This even shattered his confidence in conquering the world.
His mind was filled with extreme negativity.
He evolve from Enlightened to a real saint reaching new height.

I'll make good use of this power, he laughed like a villain.
On this day, one of the most heinous maijin was born. Whose mission changed from world domination to destroy this world and create a new one.

Karna's POV:
The big event finally ended, and Chloe reverted to her child form to avoid confusing the other kids and to prevent any trouble.
We had a meeting that originally took place at Tempest.
In the room, we had Luminous, Leon, Veldora, Shion, Diablo, Testarossa, Hinata, and our star of the show, Chloe.
Leon had Arlos and Clauda as his subordinates, and Milim went back to her territory.
First, Chloe began recounting her story about her travels.
To be honest, it was hard for everyone to believe.
After that, Chloe told me everything she remembered. There were a few things that caught my attention.
First, every single time until now, Chloe had never been teleported back in time when I was truly dead except her last fourth loop. As for who killed me she doesn't know.
She only remembered incomplete memories of the last 4 loops. Rimuru died in each loop but was revived by me each time.
First, he was killed by Velgrynd, then two times by Feldway, and in another loop, he was even killed by Yuuki.
As for me, I survived every time but vanished twice while fighting Feldway. After which, Hinata died, triggering the timeloop.
But in last 4th timeloop she definitely remember that even I also died making her go berserk and then she got killed by Guy.
Rimuru's eyes widened in shock as he processed Chloe's words. "So, I die in every loop? That's... hard to believe."
Shion, unable to contain her emotions, burst into tears. "Rimuru-sama might die... I can't bear the thought!"
I put a reassuring hand on rimuru shoulder and spoke to Shion .
"Don't worry, Shion. Now that we know what could happen, we can change the future. I promise this time, I will definitely protect my brother."
Veldora, who had been listening quietly, nodded in agreement. "And I'll do everything in my power to help. Rimuru won't face this alone." This time he was serious.
"That's too much to hear. Even I cannot take on such opponents who surpass true dragons. But this person..." Leon said while looking at me.
Leon: "So, Chloe, about your relationship with Karna."
Chloe: "Oh! I love Karna! I also want to marry him!"
Chloe made her confession with the brightest smile possible, and so Leon had lightning strike him again... literally. He went into a shocked state.
Leon: "I s-see... T-then I hope you take care of her... But if I ever hear that you made her cry, you will pay. I take back my statement from a bit ago. I won't care even if you're at a True Dragon level..."
Leon said in an icy voice, but I could tell he was broken.
Hinata: "So now what? Will you also marry her?"
Karna: "I will, but not now."
Rimuru: "Yes, we have the Empire to deal with, and then there's Dagruel".
I can say he might start an invasion while we're fighting the Empire..."
Luminous: "You can leave him to me. I will take on Dragrul."
Rimuru: "I see... Thank you, Luminous."It has been a week since our fight.
< >
One month later
Testarossa has gained the support of the West, and now the West is controlled by Tempest.
She is appointed as foreign minister of Tempest.
Testarossa had a brief confrontation with Misery during council meeting. But misery retreat which allows Testarossa to gain many supporters from western council.
Today, everyone has come to Tempest for the meeting because Guy plans to visit Tempest, as Diablo made a blunder by telling him that Rimuru named Violet and Jaune.
Attending the meeting are me, Diablo, Rimuru and Shion.
From Leon's side, we have him and his two knights, Claude and Arlos.
Luminous has Gunther and Roy with her.
Of course, Chloe is also here. Since I know guy will definitely ask for her and I reassure leon that she is on true dragon level and I will protect her if guy decide to took action against her.
I even invited Dino so he could talk with Guy.
Provide him food and confy bed and he will do anything.
Guy arrived, and the meeting started.
Guy: "So, can you tell me why you hired them?"
Karna: "You've heard about the Empire, right? I got news that there are a lot of powerhouses there, and I needed my own powerhouses to battle against them..."
Guy: "That's a reason, but... Still, Dino, why didn't you stop him?"
Dino: "I never actually had time to stop him. He already named them when I came. Besides, Testarossa is serving him, so after I saw them, I was like, 'He can handle them pretty much as Testarossa, so...'"
< karna bribed dino >
Guy: "Sigh... So this is not exactly his fault."
"The balance of the world is already broken, and that is your fault," he pointed at me.
He lectured me for two hours because of fall of rosso family and how i upset the delicate balance in west , and then he calmed down.
Guy then turned to Rimuru, his expression stern. "And you, Rimuru. Naming not one but two powerful beings without consulting me first? Are you trying to upset the balance even more?"
Rimuru looked down, chastised. "I'm sorry. I didn't consider the wider implications."
Guy: "You'd better start considering them. We can't afford reckless actions now.
( this time he was not that angry since. We promise to take down Eastern Empire).
He took a deep breath and then looked back at me and luminous. "I know about the sealed coffin which Luminous hides in her palace."
Guy: "That girl over there is clearly a hero. Mind explaining a bit?" He pointed at Chloe.
Rimuru: " to put it straightforward, she has a unique skill that can seal anything in her and make it her own power."
Nice save rimuru. I thought.
Now Leon, me, and Luminous took a gaze at me and all supported rimuru.
Guy: "Hmm... You all aren't trying to trick me, are you?
"Rimuru: "Not at all."
Leon: "You've always been too doubtful of others."
Luminous: "Indeed... Stop fretting over trivialities."
Karna : Yeah guy! You need to relax a little. Too much stress is bad.
But you are the cause of my stress. He Yelled. Then he sighed.
"she clearly obtained the Hero's power, didn't she? Are you just going to leave her?"
Now both karna and Leon stood up from their chairs...
Guy: "Don't worry! I'm not going to touch her..."
Karna : "Fine then, but if you ever threaten her, you'll have to address me first...
"Leon: "Don't forget that you'll face me after him..."
But after a bit, Leon and I chilled out. As I sat down, a sword glowed out... It was Guy's Ashura Sword, made by Veldanava himself.
In that moment, he stopped time...Guy and Chloe clashed with each other with swords. They moved at incredible speed in a suspended world.
I summoned my sword, Dark Star, and blocked Guy's attack. I used Soul Bond to message Chloe to stop.
"Clang!"
Luminous, Leon, Rimuru, and the others were shocked...
Guy: "Ah-haha-haha! Neither one of you is shabby! I didn't know that both of you could use 'that' power..."
Chloe: "Hmm... Karna, can you please let me beat the hell out of this prideful demon?"
Karna: "Nope! Now both of you sit down. And Guy... Didn't I tell you, you have to face me first? But I'll let it slide this time since you were only trying to test her."
Guy: "Hoh! You knew... But can you tell me what's the brat's name?"
Chloe: "Sure, I am Chloe Albert, and this is the first time I meet you in the flesh. You're quite powerful indeed, Demon Lord Guy Crimson."
Rimuru: "Now, can we sit down? I mean, Guy, if you lose our help, then it would only harm you in the long term, won't it?
Guy: "Yeah, that's for sure... All right, I am not here to make trouble. Just stay out of my way, and I won't hurt anyone dear to you guys."
And after another long bout, the troublesome meeting finally came to an end...
For the past month, Rimuru and I have been busy meeting with all our allies and preparing for the Eastern Empire invasion.
Souei already informed everyone that the Empire is building a large number of weapons and conducting army drills on a massive scale.
We have already started collecting various supplies for the war and amassing a large amount of weapons for our soldiers.
Hakuro has been training our soldiers diligently.
Rimuru and Benimaru have already made various divisions and strategies for the upcoming war..
