Chapter 242
<b>Chapter 242:</b>
<b>–Rias Gremory–</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">Rias could admit that she might have underestimated just how much hatred other Supernatural beings have for this Universe’s Devils. La had warned Rias before they came here, but Rias didn''t quite understand until Amaterasu had tried to murder her on sight. Rias was justifiably angry about that. She was also very d that La was so powerful. That divine fireball Amaterasu tossed out casually would have killed Rias instantly. Rias had gotten a bit stronger after meeting La, but she hadn''t exactly had the opportunity to get a lot of training in while she was pregnant this past year.
<span style="font-weight:400">She didn''t regret it of course. She wouldn''t trade her beautiful daughter for anything in the world.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh dear…” Yasaka sighed next to her. “It looks like a fight is inevitable at this point.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“La is going to win of course!” Rias dered. Rias had no doubts that La was about to stomp on Amaterasu.
<span style="font-weight:400">La and Amaterasu were facing off. La’s beautiful 14 wings were spread out behind her. They were an intimidating sight that La didn''t like to disy as often nowadays. Rias knew that La wanted to be a Goddess, but La never actually wanted any humans to worship her for some reason. When asked why, La always told her that it was just “awkward.”
<span style="font-weight:400">The fact that La had a growing religion back on Earth Marvel was a bit of a sour topic in their house.
<span style="font-weight:400">Rias, though, thought it was pretty amazing. Most Gods nowadays were struggling to retain followers, and La was struggling to get rid of them.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fourteen wings?” Amaterasu asked La. “I thought Angels only went up to twelve? And weren''t all you Fallen Angels wiped out!? You all disappeared from the Underworld! How are you here!?” The Sun Goddess eximed in confusion. She also looked incredibly nervous upon sending the power La was emitting.
<span style="font-weight:400">Rias’s lover chuckled. “Who said we were wiped out? All we did was move our home. What''s the big deal? People move houses all the time.” La asked the other Goddess.
<span style="font-weight:400">Rias giggled at La’s tone. Her lover was being difficult and vague on purpose for no other reason than to mess with Amaterasu.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Humans might move all the time, but who would believe that an entire faction would just up and move on a whim!? That''s impossible!” Amaterasu said with a pout. Her young looking face made it more adorable than intimidating. Rias had no idea why the thousand year old leader of the Japanese Pantheon made herself look like a 13 year old girl. Was Amaterasu a fan of harem anime? Did she want to be a real life Loli Baba?
<span style="font-weight:400">There was a gasp from next to Rias. Yasaka was looking at Rias in shock. “She hates being called that…” Yasaka trailed off.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Woops, I guess I said thatst part out loud.” Rias chuckled. Gods and Goddesses tended to be incredibly prideful beings and Rias just called the leader of a Pantheon a “Loli Baba” to her face.
<span style="font-weight:400">She was d that La was here protecting her otherwise she would be in serious trouble. Since La was here though, Rias knew that she could say pretty much whatever she wanted.
<span style="font-weight:400">Amaterasu scowled again and stomped her foot. The tatami floor splintered underneath her. “I''m not a Loli Baba! When I gained a physical form, this appearance was the height of beauty at the time! Men and Gods fawned over me in droves. I had thousands of suitors!” Amaterasu proimed.
<span style="font-weight:400">In Rias’s opinion, that only made it creepier. “Gross… You really need to get with the time. Only creeps would be attracted to such a young looking washboard Goddess.” Rias said while folding her arms under her chest. She intentionally pushed herrge breasts up to make a point.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Guuurrrgh!” Amaterasu screamed iprehensibly and hurled another fireball at Rias!
<b>“Almighty Push!” </b><span style="font-weight:400">La held her <span style="font-weight:400">hand out and the fireball was sent directly back where it came from.
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<b>–La–</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eeep!” Amaterasu ducked rapidly to avoid getting smacked in the face by her own divine fire.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I already told you that you''re not allowed to attack her.” I said irritation.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why are you protecting a Devil? You''re supposed to be sworn enemies.” Amaterasu said in annoyance. She then turned to Yasaka and red at the leader of the Yokai. “Have you betrayed me, Yasaka!? Are you siding with these foreigners?” Amaterasu immediately started jumping to the wrong conclusions.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yasaka looked panicked upon hearing Amaterasu’s words. “That''s not it at all, mydy! This isn''t the Rias Gremory you''re thinking she is either.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Save it! You think I''m too stupid to recognize the sister of Sirzechs Lucifer? Your punishment wille after I''ve dealt with this strange seven winged Fallen Angel!” Amaterasu warned Yasaka next.
<span style="font-weight:400">I grit my teeth in irritation. “Now you threaten another woman I care about? You think I''ll let you hurt either of them while I''m here.” I asked while taking a step forward. My aura seeped off me and infused into the air. The room around us started to shake from my power. Thankfully Yasaka''s home had been reinforced heavily with strengthening and defensive wards, so it was in no danger of copsing.
<span style="font-weight:400">Amaterasu gulped and took a step back. “Y–You wouldn''t actually hurt me…” She said nervously. “I k–know you''re just bluffing. You could start a war…”
<span style="font-weight:400">I smirked at the Sun Goddess. “Start a war? You don’t even know where the rest of the Fallen Angels are located. Who exactly do you n on fighting in this <i><span style="font-weight:400">war</i><span style="font-weight:400">?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“T–That''s…” Amaterasu took a second to think of an answer, but she came up with nothing. “...Crap.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Amaterasu was known to be powerful, but she was not a Goddess known for her prowess inbat. I shot forwards and grabbed hold of her faster than she could react. She let out a hrious shriek of fright as I spun her body around and hurled her back through the golden doorway that led to Takamagahara. Even though this was going to be more of a spanking instead of a true fight, I still didn’t want to potentially destroy Yasaka’s home.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll be back in a couple minutes, my loves.” I said to Rias and Yasaka before I stepped through the golden doorway and closed it behind me. As it closed, I could hear Riasining about not being able to see me beat up a Goddess.
<span style="font-weight:400">Amaterasu was picking herself off the floor as I walked in. We appeared in the middle of her throne room. It was absolutely massive. I could easily fit my <b>Perfect Susanoo</b><span style="font-weight:400"> inside and still have plenty of room to move around. The throne room wasn’t empty. It was filled with numerous other Gods and Goddesses who were looking on in confusion.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you ok, sister? And who is this?” A handsome Japanese God wearing white and gold robes with ck hair down to his lower back asked. I wasn''t very familiar with Japanese gods and wasn''t able to recognize him on sight. It’s a good thing I had <b>Observe</b><span style="font-weight:400">.
<b>{The Japanese God of Storms, Susanoo: Level 65}</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">“Susanoo! Help me! This winged meany is bullying your beautiful sister! Teach this Fallen Angel a lesson for me!” Amaterasuined while pointing at me and grimacing.
<b>[I don''t know how he''s going to help when he''s 5 levels weaker than his sister that you just manhandled…]</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">Instead of attacking me immediately, Susanoo instead let out a tired sigh. He turned to me and bowed 90 degrees…
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m not sure who you are, but I''m sure my sister started whatever caused this altercation. Please forgive her and don’t hurt her too much.” He said before standing back up with a gentle smile.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...What.” I asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Susanoo! You traitor! How dare you throw your innocent sister under the bus!” Amaterasu whined and hurled a golden fireball directly at his head. He casually sidestepped it without even ncing at her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Everyone in Takamagahara is tired of cleaning up your messes sister…” He said before casually waving at me to “continue.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Huh, it really looked like he wasn’t going to interfere here as long as I didn’t take things too far. That was fine with me. “I won’t hurt her too bad. I just need to punish her a bit for trying to harm a member of my harem.” I said.
<span style="font-weight:400">He nodded at me with that same calm smile. “That’s perfectly understandable. This isn’t the first time a foreign Goddess has visited us because of my sister’s antics. About ten years ago she picked a fight with The Morrigan. The Celtic Goddess’s pet crows called my sister t...”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What a coincidence. My harem member also called her t.” I told him.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m not t! I’m petite!” The temperature in the room drastically started to heat up all around us. It seemed like Amaterasu had enough teasing and was nning on fighting me for real.
<b>{Quest Initiated: Defeat Amaterasu without taking any damage!}</b>
<b>{Rewards: Level Up! Admiration of the Japanese Pantheon}</b><span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Susanoo gave me a jovial wave and mouthed “good luck” as he took a few steps backwards. Every other divine being who was watching moved away as well. The marble floors underneath Amaterasu’s feet turned to liquid as she stepped forward. Her entire body was wreathed in Golden mes. I had a feeling she was giving off as much heat as the surface of the Sun.
<span style="font-weight:400">“My mes are the hottest in existence! They burn away everything in their path. This is my true power!” She said while pointing both her hands forwards at me.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hottest in existence? Burn away everything in their path? Part of me wanted to put that to the test. A torrent of Golden mes, dozens of meters high, surged towards me. It was definitely the most powerful me magic I had ever seen.
<b>{-5000 MP}</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">I focused my gaze towards the center of the moving inferno. <b>“Amaterasu!” </b><span style="font-weight:400">I announced while channeling MP through my Rinnegan. My own torrent of ck mes surged forth and collided with the Golden mes. Our mes seemed to be evenly matched. Neither gained any ground over the other. Nearby Gods and Goddess watched on with awe as our powers shed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Being pregnant for most of the past year, I didn’t spend a lot of time going out andpleting quests. Instead, I mostly trained with the abilities I already possessed. It took me a few months to master my <b>Rinnegan</b><span style="font-weight:400"> eyespletely. I had been able to use <b>Susanoo</b><span style="font-weight:400"> with them as soon as I received the fabled eyes, but I never bothered using the other intrinsic <b>Mangekyou Sharingan</b><span style="font-weight:400"> abilities. It took a few weeks of training to discover I also had ess to abilities reminiscent of Sasuke Uchiha. I discovered that I was able to conjure the never ending mes of <b>Amaterasu </b><span style="font-weight:400">and could perfectly control them once they were unleashed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“WHAT!?” Amaterasu shrieked in shock! “Those mes! They feel like mine! How!?” She grit her teeth and poured even more divine power into her attack. Her wall of mes expanded to almost double their size! She started to sweat and shake from the amount of power she was unleashing, but she seemed determined to beat me.
<b>{-10000 MP}</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">Unfortunately for her, if there was one thing I wasn’tcking anymore, it was MP. More MP flowed into my <b>Rinnegan. </b><span style="font-weight:400">The wall of ck mes was on the verge of being swallowed up in a sea of gold, before it suddenly tripled in size and power. In only a few seconds, the ck mes devoured the Golden ones and started barreling their way towards Amaterasu herself. I could feel <i><span style="font-weight:400">hunger </i><span style="font-weight:400">in the fire. They had a supernatural urge to consume and burn away everything they touched.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh crap!” She cried out in panic when the mes were only a few meters from reaching her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You should probably surrender and apologize, sister.” Susanoo casually suggested from the side.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m the Goddess of the Sun. My mes aren’t going to lose here!” A katana made of pure mes materialized in Amaterasu’s hands. The heat it gave off was insane. All the moisture in the room immediately evaporated from the heat the de was giving off! “Heeyah!” She swung it forwards and sliced the wave of ck mes directly in two!
<span style="font-weight:400">I had to admit, that was actually pretty impressive. The ming sword in her hand must be putting out the heat of the center of a star. It seemed to take a lot out of her though. She was painting and visibly sweating a lot more after conjuring it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What are you going to do now?” Amaterasu asked cockily while leveling the fire sword at me.
<b>{-10,000 MP}</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">I turned to Susanoo and winked at him. He would probably get a kick out of this next move of mine. <b>“Susanoo!”</b><span style="font-weight:400"> I called out. <span style="font-weight:400">My purple <b>Perfect Susanoo </b><span style="font-weight:400">rapidly formed around my body. I floated in the middle of my 100 meter tall chakra construct and stared down at Amaterasu who was now visibly shaking in fear…
<span style="font-weight:400">“Maybe we can talk about this after all?” She suggested in trepidation.
<span style="font-weight:400">I smirked at her. “Nope.” My Susanoo held out its hand as I once again called upon the mes of <b>Amaterasu. </b><span style="font-weight:400">If she wanted to use fire swords, then I would obliged. Although mine was bigger than hers…
<b>{-10,000 MP}</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">A towering sword of ck mes appeared in my giant''s hand. The sword was about the size of a city bus. <span style="font-weight:400">I swung the gigantic de of fire downwards, directly on top of the Sun Goddess. Her eyes were wide in panic as she swung her own weapon upward to try and block my strike. The results were about as I expected. My de smashed down on top of the Goddess and immediately mmed her into the floor. The heat from our strikepletely melted the ground she was standing on and Amaterasu ended up submerged under a few feet of moltenva.
<span style="font-weight:400">She surfaced a few secondster. She was disheveled, and sporting a few new bruises. The moltenva dripping off of her form didn’t seem to be bothering her though. “I surrender…” She said with some tears forming in her eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">I smirked in victory and allowed my <b>Susanoo</b><span style="font-weight:400"> to vanish. I spread my wings and floated over the molten floors. I hovered directly in front of Amaterasu. She was looking back up at me with tears in her eyes. Rias was right, with this Goddess’s childish appearance, it almost felt like I was bullying her despite Amaterasu being more than 5x my age.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you ready to properly listen now?” I asked her. “And are you going to apologize to Rias?”
<span style="font-weight:400">She rapidly nodded her head up and down. “I’m sorry for attacking her suddenly. I won’t do it again.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I sensed someone using magic nearby and turned my head. Susanoo had summoned arge pool of water and was using it to cool the molten floor. Steam erupted around the room as the cooling waters rapidly went to work. With a wave of his hand, he next conjured some wind and dispersed all of the steam. He strolled across the now cooled floor and held out his hand to me. “Nice to meet you. I am Susanoo. That was an interesting disy of power. Are you a Fire Goddess? I’ve never seen ck mes like those.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I shook my head. “I am La of the Fallen. I was a Fallen Angel who has recently ascended to be the Goddess of Angels.” I informed him and Amaterasu. Both of their eyes widened.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Your Godless Pantheon finally has an actual leader again? It’s about time.” Amaterasuined. “Do you know how much damage those damned Devils have caused to our world? How are you nning on dealing with them? They need to be straightened out. They frequently kidnap other supernatural beings and force them to be their ves with absolutely zero repercussions.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sister, she said that she has only recently ascended.” Susanoo chastised her. “We don’t even know if she has any ns for them at all.”
<span style="font-weight:400">That wasn’t true. “I do have ns for them,” I told them. “But not quite yet. There’s a lot of information that your pantheon and the rest of the world are not aware of. It’s a world changing secret that’s been kept quiet and only a select few outside of the Fallen Angels know.” I exined vaguely while ncing around the room. There was always the possibility that some of the Gods in this throne room were traitors or spies for other pantheons.
<span style="font-weight:400">The serum had beenpleted, but until it was ready for mass production, I didn’t want the information about the split world merging together again getting out.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You have me intrigued.” Susanoo said.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Is Yasaka in on this secret? Is that why you were with her?” Amaterasu asked curiously.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, yes. But I was also at her home because she’s a member of my Harem.” I said inly.
<span style="font-weight:400">She gaped at me. “You can’t just take my top priestess as your harem member without my permission!”
<span style="font-weight:400">I shrugged at her. “I already did. We’ve been together for over a year already.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Amaterasu pouted at me. Her brother chastised her again. “Sister, maybe if you didn’t spend so much time in your room ying video games, you would actually know what is going on in the world.” He turned and bowed to me again. “Forgive us, my sister hasn’t gotten out much in a few years. To quote the humans of today, she is what is known as a <i><span style="font-weight:400">neet</i><span style="font-weight:400">.” He informed me.
<span style="font-weight:400">Amaterasu blushed in embarrassment. “I''m not a neet. I only y games a few hours everyday…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“If by a few, you mean at least 14, then yes…” He said. She conjured another golden fireball and tossed it at his head. Even at this range, he seemed like he was used to it and was easily able to dodge out of the way with another sigh…
<span style="font-weight:400">The Japanese Pantheon was honestly a lot different than I expected them to be. Since Amaterasu and Yasaka were close, I decided to bring them on board with our ns for the future. I invited Amaterasu and Susanoo to the celebration party tonight. Theirs would be the first Pantheon to find out about the future of our two worlds. With their help, we could also start setting up production facilities in Japan so we couldn''t start mass producing the serum.
<span style="font-weight:400">I opened a portal back to Yasaka’s manor and they followed me through. When I made it back, Rias surged forward and started asking me a bunch of questions about the “fight.” She almost seemed disappointed when I told her that it ended pretty anticlimactically. Amaterasu stepped forward and bowed to Rias. She apologized for trying to burn her before she bowed to Yasaka next and told the fox woman that there would be no “punishment.”
<span style="font-weight:400">With the unexpected Interruption taken care of, we all started preparing for the party tonight.
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<b>–Canon Omake, The Party–</b>
<b>POP!</b>
<span style="font-weight:400">“We did it! Let’s fucking go!” Tony cheered while popping a bottle of champagne.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hell yeah we did!” Andrea cheered and popped her own bottle.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Language you two, there are children present.” Steve said while pointing to the corner of the room. Rias, Sona and La were each holding their daughters while chatting with Natasha and a few of the Goddesses. He didn’t want the Stark siblings'' vulgarity rubbing off on innocent ears.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s fine. The babies aren’t old enough to understand what we''re saying yet.” Tony said while pouring himself a veryrge ss of champagne. If he wasn’t buzzed, then it wasn’t a party yet!
<span style="font-weight:400">“Aren’t those three kids demigods though? We don’t know how fast they will develop mentally.” Steve said. He had a soft spot for demigod children ever since he had rescued so many of them.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s fine. La set up a barrier in the corner of the room so the sounds from the party will be muted.” Andrea pointed out.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I suppose it’s ok then.” Steven said. He still wasn’t a fan of vulgarnguage, but it was a big celebration for the amazing achievement that Tony and Andrea had made. He was proud of them for putting their collective genius into creating things that weren’t purely for wartely.
<span style="font-weight:400">An Asian man walked over towards the three of them while they were chatting. He was wearing a gold and white kimono. A younger Asian girl, who looked like the man’s daughter, was walking next to them.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hello there.” Steve said while holding out his hand. “I’m Steve Rogers. I don’t believe we’ve met.”
<span style="font-weight:400">They shook hands. “We have not. I am Susanoo. This is Amaterasu. Neither of us are familiar with anybody here and we wanted to introduce ourselves.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Interesting names.” Stevemented. Despite recently taking on the Greek Pantheon, he was not familiar with the names of other Gods and Goddesses.
<span style="font-weight:400">Andrea and Tony, of course, both were. They both nearly choked on their champagne when Susanoo introduced himself…
<span style="font-weight:400">Steve noticed that Amaterasu was holding her own wine ss. “I know this is a party, but should a child really be drinking alcohol?” He asked in concern.
<span style="font-weight:400">The ss in Amaterasu’s hand shattered at hisment. “Dammit! I’m not a child! You’re lucky you''re hot or I’d kick you for thatment!” She told Steve.
<span style="font-weight:400">Steve grimaced. “I–uh–appreciate thepliment, but you should stick to boys your own age, sweety.” He told her honestly.
<span style="font-weight:400">Susanoo did his best to not burst outughing at the look of indignation on his sister’s face. Tony and Andrea both nched at Steve’s audacity.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Grrrr.” Amaterasushed her foot forward and kicked Steve in the shin. “Ow!” She clutched her foot and hopped in pain a secondter. “What are you made of!?” Amaterasu was not a physically strong Goddess and Steve was incredibly durable as a campione.
<span style="font-weight:400">Steve sighed and patted her head gently while looking at Susanoo. “This is why you shouldn''t give kids alcohol…”
