In the remaining time, Kaito and Blaidd completed the corresponding tasks, finally fulfilling the conditions for Ranni's godslaying.
Kaito knew the Elden Ring story, knew the path Ranni would take next.
He didn't stop her, nor was there any need to stop her.
In Kaito's view, the will of the gods was mere trash, even if currently his power was suppressed because of the parent-child activity game.
After a while, Kaito witnessed firsthand as Ranni slew the Two Fingers.
After the successful slaying, Kaito, following the game, maxed out Ranni's affection and put the ring on her finger for her.
Ranni looked at the ring, lost in thought, and smiled faintly.
Her figure vanished, but before leaving, she said that if Kaito were to become Elden Lord, she would assist him.
Ranni also knew about her mother Rennala's situation, and precisely because she knew, she always held goodwill towards Kaito.
Next, Kaito, accompanied by the Fire Keeper and Melina, once again set out on the path to becoming Elden Lord.
He defeated his brother-in-law, defeated the Omen King.
When the time came for the burning of the Erdtree, Kaito reached out to stop Melina from sacrificing herself to open the path for him to become Elden Lord, instead slapping the blocking path to the Erdtree, shattering it.
Whether the Erdtree needed to be burned or not didn't matter. Opening a path was easy for Kaito with his current strength.
When the power levels were truly mismatched, even if several Elden Beasts came, Kaito could kick them around like balls.
The ending was just as he had predicted.
He easily defeated the previous Elden Lord, Radagon, and did not revive the Elden Queen.
After donning the crown of Elden Lord, Kaito explained the reasons to Ranni.
He had become Elden Lord, but didn't need to take the Age of Stars ending, nor any other ending.
On the contrary, although the Erdtree still existed, the moment he completed the game's quest, Kaito fully recovered his strength.
He then turned the tables, taking control of the Erdtree for his own use. Possessing all the Great Runes, he bestowed a certain blessing upon the entire world, then performed a necessary purification, returning the world to peace and tranquility.
All the people living on the continent of the Lands Between saw that bright, sunny day, saw a brand new dawn.
This world also became Kaito's private property, which he could come and go from freely.
Melina and the Fire Keeper had fulfilled their missions, but they still stayed by his side, becoming the Elden Lord's personal attendants.
As for Ranni, Kaito made the queen of this world, letting her govern the Elden Ring world in his absence.
Rennala also assisted, but she spent most of her time in the inner palace.
Then,
Misuzu, Shodai, Akina, Mika, Sayuri, Tearju, Hirano, Kamado Kie, Sephie, Mamako, and everyone else, all brought their daughters into the new palace hall.
Everyone was bound by Kaito's authority, allowing them to come to this world freely at any time.
They could still slowly grow stronger in this world, learn magic, learn the Golden Order, and other abilities.
With the distribution of rewards, Kaito gained a large number of points.
High difficulty meant high returns. With so many points, Kaito naturally started the gacha!
After a large number of draws, Kaito was stunned, seeing the strongest reward.
[Divine Core of the God of Dimensions]
Effect: Upon obtaining this Divine Core, you will become the God of Dimensions, able to use all abilities of the God of Dimensions!
Likewise, you will gain infinite lifespan and an immortal body!
'So this is becoming a god, huh...'
Kaito stroked his chin.
'This life game... was it cleared?'
Kaito looked at all the ladies in the chat group, and thought of their daughters.
Soon, Kaito smiled.
'The end?'
'It was just the beginning!'
'With infinite years ahead, life was just starting. With an infinite lifespan, we had to find some fun, right?'
After merging with the Divine Core of the God of Dimensions, and all the other remaining rewards from the chat group's gacha, Kaito's strength was boosted without limit.
Becoming the God of Dimensions meant, first and foremost, that Kaito could travel freely.
Previously, he needed to spend points, or use the chat group's parent-child activities, or the Elden Ring World, to bring everyone together.
Now?
Using the powers of the God of Dimensions, he could directly break the dimensional wall, break the barriers between worlds, and establish passages.
Kaito and everyone could freely visit each other without any obstacles.
Everyone could very easily hop between worlds, playing together every day.
Even everyone's daughters simply signed up to study in the Elden Ring World – medicine and magic.
Of course, they studied cultural subjects separately, but Akina, Mika, and others said they could teach.
Now, everyone wasn't ordinary; they were strong people with superpowers.
The knowledge they learned naturally didn't have to follow the old curriculum.
The focus was still on learning more magic, or having Kaito teach them the more versatile and powerful Golden Order.
In the future, when the chat group issued new tasks, allowing them to go on adventures or travel to different worlds, they would have the ability to protect themselves.
...
Time flowed on slowly.
With the arrival of a new month, a new member joined the chat group.
[Kafka]: "...I have a daughter?"
[Kafka]: "What's this 'Kafka-mama' thing?"
[Kafka]: "Alright, alright, Stelle is indeed my daughter."
[Kafka]: "I see, so I'm from the world of Honkai: Star Rail?"
[Kafka]: "Hello everyone, my name is Kafka. Nice to meet you all."
...
A new parent-child activity began.
And the destination, as it happened, was the world of Honkai: Star Rail, which everyone had just traveled to.
So everyone was just stuck there for a moment.
Kafka, as a Stellaron Hunter, welcomed everyone warmly, but unfortunately, she was a wanted target across the galaxy.
But no problem.
As the Astral Express slowly pulled in, Kaito and his group boarded the Astral Express.
Himeko, March 7th, the Trailblazer Stelle, Dan Heng, and Welt Yang, who had just left Herta Space Station and were preparing to head to Jarilo-VI, looked a bit dumbfounded.
So, what was the task issued by the chat group this time?
Very simple.
Save Jarilo-VI, which was covered in ice and snow. Then help Cocolia and Bronya, allowing Jarilo-VI to flourish once more.
This would take a considerable amount of time, but Kaito and the others happened to have plenty of it.
Even while waiting for Jarilo-VI to recover its prosperity, Kaito and the group could take the Astral Express to travel to other planets or star regions.
For example, the next stop, the Xianzhou Luofu.
"I see. So Kaito, your group's next step is to go on Trailblaze expeditions with our Astral Express crew?"
The Astral Express's navigator, Himeko, asked curiously.
Kaito turned to look at Misuzu and the other ladies, then smiled and nodded.
"Yes."
"I think our upcoming journey will be wonderful and very interesting."
Himeko blinked, glanced at everyone behind Kaito, then smiled and nodded.
"Welcome aboard. On behalf of the Astral Express, I sincerely invite you all to become passengers of the Astral Express crew, to become Trailblazers with us, and go on Trailblazing journeys across the galaxy."
"Mm!"
Kaito nodded, reaching out to shake Himeko's hand.
The interesting journey was just beginning.
But the story needed to pause for a while.
As the Astral Express pulled into orbit around Jarilo-VI, Kaito looked at this frozen planet, then looked out across the galaxy.
He began to look forward to the brand new life, the brand new adventures, the brand new journeys to come!
The End.
