(The next day)
*Swing*
Akio sensing the person swinging a sword at him moved to the side avoiding the strike while also protecting the food he was currently cooking.
"Hello to you too, Shuuzou. How's life treating you?" Akio spoke while still preparing the food.
"Hmm, hey brat. Life's fine, how about you? Have you been enjoying cheating on my daughter?"
Akio just sighed as he kept at his task. "It's not cheating she has accepted this."
"Hmph." Shuuzou huffed before making his exit.
Akio knew truthfully the Yaegashi's as hostile as they are towards him appreciate him quite a bit. They have already gotten over the whole harem and care more for Shizuku's happiness. Them attacking was something of a greeting/ habit they picked up over the years.
That explained why at least a dozen more swings from various weapons came his way.
'This is going to be a long night.'
.
.
.
The reason the Yaegashi's had come over was that Akio invited over the families of his wives. He decided he would do this quite often because the girls would start to miss them after a while.
He also invited Hajime and his family.
.
.
.
"Hmm, it lacks flavor." Tomoichi who just casually walked over to Akio, and took a spoon full of cake batter spoke.
"I think everyone would beg to differ," Akio spoke with a chuckle as he knew for sure his cake was the best.
"Hmph, it's not worth my angel, *sigh* I knew no one in any universe is worthy of my daughter," Tomoichi spoke as if it was obvious.
What he didn't expect was to be suddenly punched in the stomach and forced to the ground.
"Kaori dear, I think your way of expressing love is a little wrong." Tomoichi groaned.
"Hmph." Kaori ignored her father and held out her hand that had the ring on it.
"Akio is the only one for me, just accept it."
Those words hurt Tomoichi more than the punch as he put himself into a ball his groans increasing more.
Akio just sighed before patting Kaori on the head to ease her anger. It had been 2 years and Tomoichi is still like this. He wasn't truly trying to break them apart but he would on occasion boast about his daughter at the expense of Akio.
Akio put the pan into the oven as he decided to take a small break.
He moved over to the dining room where some of the others were. Kaori remained to talk to her mother and father.
(Remember I flipped names around, I'll have to change their names as well but I will make it clear who's who.)
Along the way, he was signaled over by Mrs. Shouko or Shuuko Shouko. She was one of the first people to accept his harem.
Akio walked over to them.
"Good evening." Akio addressed Shuuko before giving a nod to the other two knowing they preferred that sort of greeting.
"Good evening to you as well, it's good to see you. I hope everything is going well for you and Komi?" Komi's socially confident mother spoke happily.
"Were doing quite well I'm sure she would tell you that herself," Akio spoke with a double meaning.
This made not only Shuuko but Masayoshi, Komi's father smile as well.
Akio spent some time with the Shouko's making conversation with Shousuke who he got along pretty decently with.
He stopped when he felt that cake was done and made his way over to it.
Along the way, he looked out the window only to see a giant statue being lifted and carried by a group of rabbits.
'What the hell?'
After pulling the cake out he went out to the yard where the statue was.
"Hey, boss! We brought a present."
Cam called out to Akio with a proud look. In the corner, Akio could see Shea with her head in her hands as she was shaking, trying to calm her anger.
Curious Akio walked in front of the statue to get a good look and what he saw made him want to kill the Haulia.
The statue depicted Akio and Shea making the chunniest and most cringe pose he had ever laid his eyes on.
His first instinct was to burn the whole thing but he truly didn't want to hurt their feelings, so he did the next best thing.
"Thanks, I'll cherish it," Akio spoke with a fake smile as he put the statue in his storage. From that day forward it would never see the light of day again.
After that, the Haulia went into the castle with satisfied expressions, while Akio lay Shea on his lap doing his best to comfort the poor girl. He had never seen her lovable rabbit ears droop as much as they were.
Eventually, she recovered though, and the two made their back inside.
By this time the cake will as cooled down enough that he could put the icing on it.
.
.
.
When all the preparations were done everyone sat down at the large table.
Of course, Akio sat at the head but other than that it was pretty random.
The 4 maids also stood behind Akio, even though Akio himself had already told them to take a day off.

Gahard who saw Tracy looking at Akio with a loving smile smirked internally as he knew Tracy had gotten close to him.
While the smirk may have hidden motives it wasn't a lie that he was genuinely happy for her. He does love his children even if he doesn't show it and he was worried Tracy's brutish nature would leave her single forever.

If one were to look closely they would see that a few of the Haulia were missing and the reason for that was because some had challenged Mina only to be nearly killed, their unconscious bodies were in a storage closet.
Tio also chose to act as Akio's maid to show her fellow dragon-man her position. They were slowly coming to terms with her extreme masochism and could only sigh when she would scream in bliss when Akio slapped her ass.
They all ate as one big family, they chose to ignore Le Fay and Sha Wujing who were wearing maid dresses and attending to all of Myu's needs.
.
.
.
Earlier that day Akio had started day 2 of the punishment. Akio had given the choice to Le Fay and Sha Wujing that if they agreed to become Myu's official maids and playmates he would free them from the punishment, although the duration would be longer.
Still, they took the deal happily as they truly did like serving Myu. Meiru was pretty upset at this but she got over it after she remembered that she was still
Myu's favorite.
Akio had also started and finished his Senjutsu training thanks to his instant mastery. Kuroka was pretty upset by this as she wanted to use training as an excuse to get him to bed.
Still, she wasn't kicked out as Akio still had plans for her.
With Senjustu, Akio's soul would naturally develop on its own although a little slowly. It helped but it was a little too slow for his liking.
With this Akio decided to just go with another method he found, which was to combine 'Evolution magic' and 'Spirit magic'.
The reason he didn't want to do this method was that it was easy to outright destroy his soul if he messed up.
The true power of spirit magic was to be able to interfere with negative things that make up a person. While the true power of evolution magic was to interfere with the information of existing things.
What Akio needed was a soul durable enough that he could have multiple divinities exist simultaneously in it. He also needed complete control over it so those same divinities wouldn't be able to take control over him.
It was a long and complex process and one that Akio was reluctant to do. But he still would, although Ava would probably watch over him to make sure he doesn't die.
.
.
.
When dinner ended everyone went home back to their daily lives.
Now Akio and his family were sitting in the hot spring trying to wash away the mental exhaustion from the antics of their parents and other family members.
While Myu and Aimi were swimming and playing with Meiru, Shea sat on Akio's lap. She was reminded of the horrible statue her family had put together and yet again needed some care which Akio was happy to provide.
Yue was helping as she caressed her rabbit ears and spoke comforting words.

(The next day)
Akio was in the living room with Ophis and Akane, getting ready to commence the destruction of the Khaos Brigade.
Akio had asked Ophis to tell him the location of each of them but she truthfully didn't know. However, she did know at least some as well as all the members she recruited.
Akio decided he would just use his compass as he did know what some of them looked like from the anime/LN.
(AN: Please remember there is like 0 struggle for MC in this fic. Also, remember the evil dragons have not been revived yet.)
For the first extermination, Akio decided to let Kuroka follow along as something of another reward.
"Where are we going, Nya?"
Kuroka remained confused until she saw the place she had arrived. The Nebiros clan's main house.
Akio had already told Sirzechs of his plan to get rid of them as well as evidence. Part of the clan was already suspected of betrayal as Zaorama Nebiros had disappeared and remained unfindable.
Still, Sirzechs was present to make the whole event seem official.
Kuroka could be seen with an evil glint in her eyes as she stared at the emblem that represented Nabiros.
Akio patted her head making her turn around although that glint remained.
"I will allow you to complete what you started, take it as another reward for your services," Akio spoke before directly giving her his blessing. Just like the rest, her strength was increased massively and she also gained the usual benefits.
Like that Akio guided to her to all the members who were affiliated with Khaos Brigade excluding the ones who were oblivious. She mercilessly killed all of them but her anger remained.
Soon enough the main house was done and Akio guided her to the underground facility they used to experiment on the two sisters.
Her anger yet again increased as she killed everyone on sight. Thankfully they were all guilty so Akio saw no reason to stop her.
The massacre continued with no one left to kill except the head himself.
It wasn't once that the members tried to negotiate by giving them various artifacts however all of them were met with a Touki-infused punch that completely caved through their flesh.
Akio then took Kuroka one level lower where the head of Nebiros was trying to hide. Probably sensing what happened on the upper level he immediately started begging for his life.
Kuroka couldn't help but laugh at this as she slowly tortured the man to death.
She couldn't help but to laugh hard until eventually, those laughs turned into cries as she buried her face into Akio's chest repeatedly thanking him.
Akio sat with her for a while before he went to get rid of the next annoyance who also so happened to live in the underworld.
Hades. The God of the dead.
