Harem Overlord

"Those were good times." Mariel said with a chuckle as Kai nodded.

"Well except for the fact that all of you combined your power and knocked me out. I guess you forgot that your power would overload my body."

"You stayed unconscious for how long? A month right?" Mariel asked as he nodded.

"By the then, the entire world was aware that I had been the one who had kidnapped all of you. At that point, I couldn't even restore my name." He replied as both of them then looked forward with smiles on their face.

"And here I was wondering whether I would be the last person to arrive." Levina sighed in relief as she flew forward to float beside Kai and Mariel.

"What took you so long?" Mariel asked as she elbowed Levina in the ribs. The latter gave her a sheepish smile before looking at Kai.

"So you managed to gather all of them." She commented as Kai smiled.

"I said that I would do it, didn't I?" He asked back and heard someone chuckle behind him.

"It's just that sometimes, things don't go the way you say." Aizza appeared in front of them with a beautiful smile on her face.

'Just like I had thought.' Kai smiled as Aizza floated beside Levina and Mariel as they exchanged greetings.

Kai had already predicted that the first three spirits to arrive would be Mariel, Levina, and Aizza. After all, he knew them well enough to predict this.

"Hela, just come here. What was the point of me dragging you if you are gonna stay hidden." Aizza suddenly said while raising her voice as the space started shimmering.

"I was thinking of holding on to the last moment. Guess I have no choice now." Hela muttered as she stepped out in front of the group.

Even though the four elemental rulers were excited to see each other, they had already met before. Gaia too had met them before.

But the remaining elemental rulers on the other hand hadn't met each other.

'I wonder what happened to Kazemi. I hope Fanglin is handling everything all right and no one is taking advantage of her low voice.' Kai thought as he thought about the remaining elemental rulers.

Xinjeng, the spirit of air. Fanglin, the spirit of light, Kazemi, the spirit of water. Gaia, the spirit of earth.

'And Sierra." Kai thought silently as he clenched his fist. There was nothing he could do about It especially when her death had been natural.

But just as he had been thinking about that, he felt a shiver traveling through his entire body. Like a hunting dog, he raised his head in alert but saw no major things.

But that shiver had been enough to tell him what he needed to know.

"I appeared at the right time…" Kai was suddenly startled by a soft whisper of words as he turned back to see Fanglin standing right behind him.

"That's a bad habit Fanglin." Kai scolded her as she gave him a tee-he expression.

"You can't scold someone as cute as me…" Fanglin replied as Kai facepalmed.

"I had been thinking that someone had been speaking something. Should have guessed that it will be you Fanglin." Mariel suddenly appeared beside Fanglin as she gave the girl a tight hug.

"Ahh! I might die if you keep squeezing me like that Mariel!" Fanglin exclaimed but Mariel didn't let her go.

"You are not that weak Fanglin so don't try to protest." Levina suddenly said with a grin as she too hugged Fanglin.

Fanglin was now giving Kai the 'save me' look but Kai smiled and gave her the 'deal with it' look and turned away.

"You can come here too Kazemi." Mariel and Levina suddenly stopped squeezing Fanglin as they looked where Kai was looking.

"You noticed me so easily." Slowly moving forward, Kazemi revealed her presence to the group.

"She remembered everything the moment we entered her realm… Her crown appeared on her head and she remembered everything…" Fanglin explained while taking deep breaths.

"Just a little more squeezing and all of us will be seeing Death here to take my soul," Fanglin complained as Mariel and Levina shared smiles.

"Achoo! Why did feel as though someone was just talking about me?" Back in the library, Azrael suddenly sneezed while maintaining the records of the dead spirits in the special realms of the elemental rulers.

Alter sneezing and looking at a few names on the list, he started working again.

"Welcome back Kazemi." Kai smiled as Kazemi's blushed a little.

"Um hello." She said while raising her right hand awkwardly as the others grinned.

"Stop being awkward Kazemi." Hela suddenly commented as Kazemi's eyes widened.

"Hela? And Aizza too?" She suddenly looked as though someone had told her that the realms were actually flat.

"I uh…" She was stumped as Aizza turned to look at Hela with raised eyebrows.

"Stop bullying her Hela." She scolded Hela who just smiled.

"Bullying? I am just teasing her Aizza." Hela replied back as she moved towards Kazemi.

"After all, I used to love teasing her and Gaia." She replied with a grin as Kazemi pouted.

"Yeah, I remember that. Gaia better show up quickly or I am going to be teased alone."

"Talking about me?" Someone elbowed Hela in the ribs as she looked surprised.

Gaia was floating beside her with a small grin on her face as Hela's face twitched.

"Come here you brat!" She said and tried to elbow Gaia in the ribs.

But she quickly moved out of the way with a small smile on her face.

"I told her and Kazemi about what happened to Sierra…" Kai suddenly froze when he heard Fanglin speak those words.

"Did I do something wrong?..." Judging from Kai's reaction, Fanglin had a feeling that she had done something bad.

"You did the right thing Fanglin. You can also go and talk with them." Kai instead replied with a smile and patted her head a few times before Fanglin started talking with the rest of the elemental rulers.

'You prevented me from telling them this.' Kai thought with a sad smile as he looked at Hela chasing Gaia while Aizza tried to calm her down.

The others were all trying to hide their laughter at this.

[ They are like children, aren't they? ]

Kai's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard a voice inside his head. He hadn't heard the voice in a really long time and shouldn't be able to recognize it.

However, the faint memory tugged at the back of his mind as he took a deep breath. The voice was gone as soon as it had come but Kai knew who it belonged to.

After all, he had heard this voice many times in his childhood.

But before he could think further about it, he felt another shiver run through his body. His gaze trend towards the space outside the spirit realm as he then turned to look back at the smiling elemental rulers.

'I shouldn't ruin their reunion.' Kai thought while shaking his head as he quietly teleported out.

He appeared outside the translucent spirit realm and saw a person standing there.

"I didn't think you would be able to sense me, Kai." The person said with a grin as Kai gritted his teeth.

"Lucas."
