"You fickle radish!"
Broly looked over with some confusion and heard Megumin mutter these words under her breath.
"Uh, Huihui, do you not want Yougou to join Crystal Palace?"
The Saiyan boy thought for a moment and then asked.
"That's not true, but at least you should discuss it with us first, hold a vote or something, and then decide whether or not to let someone who isn't recognized by Crystal Palace join, right?"
Otherwise, if anyone could join Crystal Palace, wouldn't that diminish the value of those of us who have already joined as official members and were recognized by Crystal Palace from the start?
Huihui said that she would never admit that she was actually a little jealous.
"Uh, is that so?"
Broly was somewhat surprised, but he listened and decided to hold a vote with everyone when he got back.
If Master Aqua and the others agree that people shouldn't be brought into the Crystal Palace so casually, then he will consider not doing it in the future.
"Huihui, is this how you treat your friends?"
Youyou clearly expressed her dissatisfaction. This girl is always willing to open her heart to her friends, so after hearing Huihui's words, even though Huihui is closer to her, she couldn't help but speak ill of Huihui.
"Would you be willing to have another girl by Broly's side who isn't recognized by the Crystal Palace, but who requires a lot of Broly's happiness points to join?"
Huihui asked directly.
"Ah, well, of course I'm a little reluctant, but if it's feasible, I think I can accept it."
Youyou twirled her hair with her fingers, looking somewhat conflicted, but still answered the question.
"What if it's not someone we know well, but someone we don't even know?"
Huihui asked again.
"If someone like that joined, you'd definitely feel very resentful!"
Without waiting for Youyou's reply, Huihui began to speak on her own.
"We're all wives, but we weren't invited in with a lot of happiness points, while others get this kind of treatment. It feels like we're free, low-class wives, while they're the paid, high-class wives. Don't you feel that way?"
"Ah, this..."
Youyou was speechless.
"So, for these guys who aren't recognized by Crystal Palace, we need to establish an entry threshold in advance!"
Huihui added.
"I have an extra wife in another world, and I have promised some people that when we are able to add extra staff to Crystal Palace, I will let them join Crystal Palace, if they do not change their minds by then."
Broly then brought up the matter of his wife being in an outside position.
"What?"
Huihui was a little angry and stomped on the boy's instep a few more times, but she was also somewhat helpless.
"No, this needs to be discussed with everyone in the group chat. Broly, from this point onwards, you can no longer send invitations to join Crystal Palace to anyone who isn't recognized by Crystal Palace."
Broly thought about it and realized he didn't seem to have any other wives in the same position, so he nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
Huihui was very satisfied; Broly's attitude made her feel respected.
"Oh no! Megumin, Yuyu, Broly..."
Just then, Darkness ran towards them.
"What's wrong?"
The three of them looked at the knight girl rushing towards them with some confusion.
"This world, this world, is doomed!"
Darkness was a little out of breath and paused for a moment before she finished speaking.
"It's not April Fool's Day, are you drunk?"
Huihui asked with dead fish eyes.
"He doesn't have a fever."
Youyou reached out and touched Darkness's forehead to check her temperature, and then said...
"I'm not sick, and the world's doom isn't something I made up, but rather a prophecy made by your Crimson Demon Clan's number one diviner."
Darkness pressed down Youyou's hand and said to Huihui.
"Oh, the First Diviner, you mean Soket?"
Upon hearing this, Huihui was taken aback for a moment before asking in return.
"Hmm, that fortune teller, I think that's her name."
Darkness was somewhat unsure.
"What exactly happened?"
Broly pressed for details, beginning to suspect that there might be hidden dangers in this world as well.
If that's the case, then it needs to be removed in advance.
"I'll take you to the fortune-telling shop first, and we can talk as we walk."
On the way, Darkness recounted what happened on their side while Broly and the others were meeting their old classmates.
Darkness, who had been to Scarlet Devil Village before, led a group of people who had never been to Scarlet Devil Village before on a tour of the village.
Just now, to be precise, when Broly and the others were meeting with You Gou, Princess Alice was also approached by the voices from the fortune-telling shop on the street.
"The fortune teller said she sensed Alice's troubles as she passed by, and that she might be able to solve her troubles through divination."
Princess Alice was thus drawn in and entered the fortune-telling house, where she had her fortune told about her troubles.
"She had that fortune teller divine the future of the Kingdom of Belzegu, and then she received a terrifying prophecy."
"Is this the end of the world?"
"No, war has broken out."
"Hey, what's so strange about that? The situation is tense right now; if they can't reach an agreement, they might fight. Isn't that normal?"
Huihui was somewhat puzzled. She already knew about the tense situation in the three kingdoms and didn't find it strange that a war had broken out.
"The scope and duration of this predicted future war far exceed our imagination, and its impact on the world is even worse than when the Demon King's army was still around."
Darkness shook her head and said.
"It's even worse than when the Demon King's army was still around. That doesn't seem so bad, does it? Don't you already know the inside story of the Demon King's army?"
Huihui still didn't take it seriously.
Six months later, war broke out between the three kingdoms.
A year later, the scale of the war expanded.
Three years later, a full-scale war broke out, and the number of dead and wounded in the armies of various kingdoms exceeded 400,000.
In the fifth year, civilian professionals were conscripted and sent to the battlefield.
In the seventh year, the Kingdom of Elode was destroyed.
In the eighth year, the remaining two kingdoms, unable to continue fighting, chose to temporarily cease hostilities.
But in the ninth year, hatred reignited their war.
After that, there were intermittent ceasefires and wars, and the war lasted for more than fifty years.
The total number of dead and injured has exceeded 100 million.
Until the human kingdom completely disintegrated and withdrew from its dominant position in the world.
Other intelligent monsters rose up, and humanity's era came to an end...
Darkness revealed the contents of the prophecy.
"Oh, Miss Darkness, you must be joking?"
Youyou asked the question.
"Although I'd like to think that way too, but..."
Darkness shook her head.
"Upon learning of this sensational prophecy, Lady Eris assumed the fortune teller was joking, and thus bestowed upon her a lucky blessing."
The prophecy of the rise of other intelligent monsters and the end of the human era was a more accurate prediction after the blessing was bestowed upon it.
The world is doomed, but more accurately, humanity in this world is doomed.
They used wars against each other to wipe out the human race from its position as the world's dominant species.
When Broly and the others arrived at the fortune-telling hut, Eris, the goddess of fortune, was pacing back and forth in front of it like an ant on a hot plate.

From afar, Broly could hear Claire arguing with someone; she didn't seem to believe in this prophecy of the future.
Meanwhile, Miss Sokat, the top fortune teller of the Crimson Demon Clan in the fortune-telling shop, insists that her divinations have never been wrong.
That's why Miss Soket is not an unknown person, but a very famous fortune teller. That's why the results of her divination made the people here feel uncomfortable.
Just then, Aqua was summoned from the tavern. When Eris saw her arrive, he quickly approached her and asked, "Aqua-senpai, what should we do now?"
The future of this world has left even the goddess who governs it feeling somewhat hopeless.
"Don't worry, let me ask."
Aqua, reeking of alcohol, approached and immediately asked Soket about divination.
"You foresaw the future, that humanity will descend into war. So tell me, what will become of the Church of Axis?"
"The Axis cult? Wait a minute, let me see..."
The fortune teller took out the crystal ball and chanted the incantation again, quickly arriving at a conclusion.
"In the chaotic future, the Axis Cult will thrive. Many people, suffering from the ravages of war, will voluntarily join the Axis Cult, which possesses strong survival skills in the wild. The current Archbishop of the Axis Cult is largely responsible for this, thanks to his close personal relationships with many high-level magical beasts in the wild... uh..."
The fortune teller's eyes suddenly twitched. What she saw in the crystal ball was that the Archbishop of the Axis Church had actually bravely faced the beast and, relying on his powerful fetish and virility, managed to persuade a giant dragon to allow the followers of the Axis Church to live in his territory, and even offered them shelter.
"What's wrong with our personal relationship? Tell me!"
Aqua urged them on.
"Well, thanks to their good personal relationships, many high-level intelligent magical beasts took the initiative to protect the followers of the Axis Cult, which made the Axis Cult the number one religion in the world. Not only humans believe in the Axis Cult, but also intelligent magical beasts and the offspring of human-beast hybrids believe in the Axis Cult."
Miss Sokat still spoke of the future she saw.
"Hey, isn't this a really great future?"
Upon hearing that the Axis Cult had become the world's number one religion, Aqua sobered up and turned to Eris with some surprise.
"And what about the Church of Eris?"
Eris quickly came over to ask.
"Well, with the end of the human era, the Church of Eris completely withdrew from the world stage, becoming one of the many religious sects buried in the dust of history."
Soket said.
"Waaah..."
The white-haired goddess couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
Is it possible to change the future?
Broly walked over and asked.
"Of course, the future I foresee is not absolute; as long as we work hard, there is still a possibility of change."
Sokat replied, only after turning around and seeing Broly's appearance did he ask with some surprise.
"Ah, Monster Boy, you're back again?"
"What monster boy?! Can't you even speak properly?!"
Huihui, her face dark, began to complain to the fortune teller.
"Sorry, it was a slip of the tongue."
Sokat quickly apologized.
"How long has it been since the Demon King's army was defeated? How many years has this world been at peace? And now we're heading into a future of war. Ah, such a hopeless future is worse than the era when the Demon King's army existed!"
Eris cried out. She simply could not accept the future world where humanity would be devastated by war, with nine out of ten houses empty, and she could not accept the future outcome that her sect would become history.
"Yes, this is one way to change the future!"
Upon hearing Eris's words, the fortune teller immediately clapped her hands and said...
"Huh, what does this mean?"
Princess Alice, whose eyes had become somewhat vacant after hearing the terrible prophecy about the future, quickly looked over and asked.
"If the Demon King's army can reappear in this world, then the future of a large-scale civil war among human kingdoms will be avoided!"
Soket explained.
"Of course, there are other ways to change the future, but those ways might be a bit... brutal."
The fortune teller initially wanted to say it was difficult, but after looking at the boy standing next to her who could turn into a giant monster by looking at the full moon, she changed her mind.
Using the power of the Monster Boy, the other two kingdoms can be destroyed first, unifying the human regime in this world ahead of schedule. This is also a way to resolve internal strife among humans.
Princess Alice pressed for other ways to change the future, so Sokert added Broly, the super variable, to his divination.
As expected, the divination revealed that the boy easily destroyed the armed forces of the other two kingdoms, thus bringing the world to nuclear peace through absolute force.
Hearing the fortune teller, Miss Sokat, describe the way to change the terrible, war-torn future through a Saiyan boy, everyone present had a different feeling.
"Truly worthy of being my disciple."
Aqua was a little proud.
"Phew~"
Princess Alice breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"..."
Eris remained distressed and unable to put her mind at ease.
"If the prophecy of future war is true, Brother Broly, could I please ask you to help my country?"
Princess Alice made her request.
"no."
Just as Broly was about to casually agree, he heard Eris object.
Of course, this goddess of fortune did not dislike a peaceful future; it was just that she could not accept the way the future was changed by causing heavy casualties in the other two kingdoms to end potential wars.
The Church of Eris is not only the state religion of the Kingdom of Belzegu, but also the mainstream religion of the other two kingdoms. Both are equally important to Broly, and no matter which country Broly chooses to help and fight against the other two, it will make this goddess of fortune feel sorry for him.
She felt sorry for the souls who might lose their lives in the prophecy of war, and pitied the countless lives that might be destroyed prematurely by the boy because of the pursuit of peace.
"Miss Sokatter, isn't there any other way to change the future?"
Youyou asked the question.
"I'm sorry, Youyou, with my divination abilities, there are only these two ways I can predict to change the future."
Sokat shook her head in reply that there were certainly other ways to change the future, but the future she could predict was limited.
